Xingxing was a bit at a loss.
She had never encountered such a situation before.
Looking at their terrified faces.
Xingxing began to reflect on herself.
Qingyun Mountain does not rob the elderly, weak, sick, or disabled.
They hadn’t even started robbing, and already were this scared; she’d never seen anyone weaker than this.
She looked at Su Jin and quietly asked, "Miss, was I too fierce just now?"
"Maybe a little," Su Jin replied.
Xingxing looked at the young lady and said, "Don’t be afraid, we’re good people."
Su Jin, "...."
The young lady was already scared, and upon hearing this from Xingxing.
She quickly placed the Jade Bracelet and golden hairpin she was holding on a nearby rock and turned to run.
The maid followed closely behind.
But the maid was rather unlucky.
In her haste, she stepped on her own skirt and fell flat on the ground.
Xingxing couldn’t bear to look directly.
However, the maid was loyal and shouted, "Commandery Princess, run!"
Su Jin, "...."
Then she saw the Commandery Princess hesitating between wanting to run and wanting to save the maid.
Su Jin felt a wave of exhaustion.
She held her forehead as she walked away.
Xingxing rolled up her whip.
As she passed by, the Commandery Princess was so nervous, she moved beside the maid and helped her up.
Su Jin walked away without looking back.
Xingxing couldn’t help but turn back and say, "I wasn’t lying, we really are good people."
Su Jin couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
Who knows which mansion this Commandery Princess was from, obviously frightened by Xingxing’s whipping just now; now, although she is the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion, her achievents are impressive.
She had Princess Shouning carried back to the palace.
Let a beehive rampage through the Imperial Palace, stinging the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
Her own father, Marquis Dongxiang, beat up Duke Chong and robbed him of five hundred horses.
Anyway you look at it, it doesn’t align with the term "good person."
The more you say it, the more scared they beco.
The Hidden Guard hiding in the big tree was sweating profusely.
He had already discovered them hidden away, trembling with fear because of Xingxing.
He pretended not to see; anyway, the Eldest Young Madam’s ferocity was well known, she didn’t mind adding to her reputation.
But just a leaf falling from the tree startled the maid into screaming, thus exposing them.
They voluntarily handed over the Jade Bracelet and jewelry on them, and surprisingly, the Eldest Young Madam and the maid didn’t take the opportunity to rob them, repeatedly emphasizing they were good people, the Hidden Guard couldn’t understand.
Sure that Su Jin and Xingxing had indeed gone far.
Only then did Princess Yun Fu and maid Zhenzhu breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhenzhu brushed off the dust on her body, took the jewelry over, and adorned Princess Yun Fu with it.
Not daring to stay longer, they left quickly.
Just having been frightened, it took a long while for their mood to calm down.
The whole way, not seeing Su Jin, Princess Yun Fu walked briskly.
From a distance, she saw Princess Consort Yun approaching.
Princess Yun Fu quickly ran over, hugged Princess Consort Yun tightly, and called, "Mother Consort."
Princess Consort Yun was startled, then upon seeing the maid covered in dirt, quickly asked, "What happened? Don’t scare your Mother Consort."
Princess Yun Fu shook her head while hugging Princess Consort Yun.
The quick-mouthed maid said, "We just ran into the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion robbing people; her maid was so fierce, not even five n were her match, they were whipped unconscious on the ground."
The Old Madam and Princess Nanzhang walked over, just in ti to hear the maid’s words.
Princess Nanzhang’s face turned green imdiately.
Mrs. Zhao thought of the assurance she had given Princess Nanzhang that nothing would go wrong—
She just felt her face burning.
The Eldest Young Master was sent away by the abbot, so there were only the Eldest Young Madam and the maid.
Five people dealing with the two of them should have been more than enough, how could this happen?
Mrs. Zhao’s face turned faintly pale, after repeated failures, the Commandery Princess was already doubting her abilities.
She kept her head down, not daring to et Princess Nanzhang’s eyes.
Princess Nanzhang wished she could call soone to drag Mrs. Zhao away and give her a good beating.
Was this her foolproof plan?!
What kind of useless people did she find, couldn’t even beat a maid!
The maid’s words were heard not only by Princess Nanzhang and her group, but also by Su Jin and Xingxing.
Xingxing listened with a sense of triumph, modestly saying, "I’m not that great, it’s my Miss who’s amazing."
The maid, "...."
The maid was so frightened she hid behind Princess Consort Yun.
Princess Nanzhang’s face was icy as she reprimanded Su Jin, "This is the Great Buddha Temple, a sacred Buddhist place, how dare you master and servant act wildly?!"
Su Jin said nothing.
Xingxing said, "We weren’t acting wildly; those people tried to rob us first."
"Rob you?" Xie Jinyu sneered.
"Did they have a death wish, daring to rob you?" Xie Jinyu mocked.
Xingxing puffed her cheeks.
She was telling the truth, why wouldn’t they believe her.
She looked at Su Jin, not knowing what to say next.
Su Jin gave Xie Jinyu a faint glance, "How do you know they weren’t given so courage pills?"
Xie Jinyu was speechless.
"I don’t know; do you?!" she fud.
"If I didn’t know, I wouldn’t have said so," Su Jin replied calmly.
Xie Jinyu was infuriated.
Su Jin reached out her hand, "Xingxing, give the purse."
Xingxing was montarily stunned, upon realization, quickly opened her bag, took out the purse, and handed it to Su Jin.
Seeing that purse—
A maid turned pale and hid behind Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao looked ashen.
It was her oversight.
Even the purse had been given to the servant.
Didn’t expect that foolish servant to hand it over along with the purse!
Su Jin examined the purse in her hand, smiling, "This purse holding courage pills is particularly high-end, if Mother isn’t in a hurry to return to the mansion, I’ll catch the seller of these courage pills here in the Great Buddha Temple, I’m sure many people would be very interested."
A sense of threat was overwhelming.
Princess Nanzhang’s face turned livid.
The Old Madam’s face was solemn, looking at Princess Nanzhang with a sharp gaze.
"Let’s return to the mansion," the Old Madam said coldly.
Mrs. Wang supported her as they walked away.
Princess Nanzhang followed.
As they passed by, Princess Yun Fu saw the sa orchid embroidered on the maid’s skirt as on the purse.
At this mont.
She no longer felt Xingxing’s whipping of those n was brutal.
If they hadn’t the ability to protect themselves, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
She looked at Su Jin, her eyes showing an apology.
Su Jin smiled slightly.
Handing the purse to Xingxing, Su Jin stepped forward.
After walking for a while, Xie Jingchen ca over, Su Jin asked him, "What did the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple talk to you about?"
"The sa as you guessed," Xie Jingchen replied.
"Did he give you hush money?" Su Jin smiled.
"...."
"No."
Su Jin was just teasing him, smiled and said, "I got 5,000 taels of hush money today."
Xie Jingchen felt helpless, what had she caught hold of this ti?
Was she here to offer incense or to catch people in the act?
Xingxing was puzzled, "No, we only have sixty taels."
"There is," Su Jin smiled.
After taking the carriage back to Duke Zhen Mansion.
Su Jin stepped into the Duke Mansion, Manager Li ca to et her.
Of course, he wasn’t there to welco her, but the Old Madam.
Su Jin threw the purse to Manager Li and said, "Take 5,000 taels from the public funds for ."
Manager Li, "...."
Manager Li took the purse, looked towards Princess Nanzhang.
Princess Nanzhang ground her silver teeth almost breaking them.
"Give it to her."
