Chapter 504 A resounding slap (4)_1
"Madam, she is just a child, merely curious, she meant no harm." Conger said with a smile, trying to intercede on her behalf.
The madam gave him a cold, sideways glance, her attitude remaining unchanged, despite his proximity to the Prince. "You should be saying these words to the Prince, Guard Conger."
Choked by her words, Conger did not dare to speak rashly anymore.

"Henceforth, the young lady will be the Mistress of the Wang Residence, and there will be no other Mistress henceforth," said Congyi, who held the highest position among the guards. He looked at the maids and declared, coldly.

Being part of the Hidden Guard, they were ready to lay down their lives if need be. Having trained alongside Chu Suifeng from a young age, their loyalty towards the Prince ran deep.

There were three paths built connecting the shore to the pavilion, the architecture carrying the style of Jiangnan.
