Chapter 421 - 400 Part 2
Fu Dong had grown accustomed to it—whenever such a season arrived, the Commandery Princess’s hands and feet would turn icy cold, always needing the kettle lady. At home, she used to start using her services early, but now, out of anger, she intentionally did not. She deserved to be cold.
Fu Dong gave Nian Xia a look, as it was not appropriate to have so many people around, leaving her alone would suffice.
Nian Xia knew the rules and quietly withdrew. Just as she reached the door, she heard Qi Zhu murmuring under his breath.
"The Commandery Princess knows." Qi Zhu spoke very cautiously, and it didn’t hinder Nian Xia from emerging at that moment. Separated only by a window’s distance, his voice clearly drifted into Nian Xia’s ears, and she happily eavesdropped from the corner.
Upon hearing this, Qi Ling’s face suddenly showed shock. This was serious.
"I, I just said—we should have sealed the door from the start, not letting those two in. Now what do we do? The Crown Prince still doesn’t know, and if he blames us, this, this..."
"Isn’t it all because Nanny Leng personally delivered them? How could we refuse, Steward Hu didn’t dare either, just waiting for the Crown Prince to return and decide." Qi Zhu said anxiously, "But how did the Commandery Princess find out so quickly?"
"You still have the mind to think of other things, hurry up, hurry up. Nanny Leng too, actually doing such deeds." Qi Ling also realized the gravity of the problem. "No, I still need to let the Crown Prince know."
Qi Ling was about to step inside, but Nian Xia suddenly stood in his way, blocking Qi Ling’s path. As it wasn’t fitting to cause a scene at the door, Nian Xia pushed Qi Ling outside.
