Chapter 24: A Twist: A Visit from the Crown Prince
“Why are you in such a panic? You are displaying improper behavior,” Qing Mama chided Zhen Zhu in displeasure.
Although she was a loyal maid, the appropriateness of her conduct still fell short of expectations. Even though Qing Mama had trained Zhen Zhu for a long time, her etiquette was not showing much progress.
After Qing Mama berated the maid, she cowered slightly. When Qing Mama saw the girl’s reaction, she became angrier. She snapped peevishly, “If you have gotten wind of any news, please tell us quickly.”
“Right away!” Zhen Zhu quickly reported, “Old Master has rescinded his order to confine Madame to her residence.”
“What? Rescinded?” Qing Mama was shocked.
“I heard that the Crown Prince himself came to plea for a more lenient punishment. Right now, he is heading to Shuimo Garden with Old Master,” Zhen Zhu recounted the details of everything she had heard in full.
“This truly fulfils the saying, ‘Whatsoever troubles a person the most is likely to happen to them.'” Qing Mama felt uneasy. Before she could finish training the young maids whom she had brought back, Su Yufeng was being released from confinement.
Ye Jiuge smiled coldly. Although she understood that it would be impossible to imprison Su Yufeng in her residence forever, the great Crown Prince was really audacious to meddle and dictate another’s household affairs.
“Eldest Miss, what should we do now?” Qing Mama asked anxiously.
