"Hmph, you old bastard, you're quite sinister!" Song Liuying said lightly.
Song Sansi laughed, "I am that kind of person!"
Song Liuying said, "You've seen that Chu Li?"
"Yes, we drank at the same table," Song Sansi shook his head, "He's a powerful person, he lives up to his name!"
"Oh — —?" Song Liuying said lightly, "No matter how powerful he is, can he be compared to you, a cunning old bastard?"
"Princess, you can't underestimate him." Song Sansi sighed and shook his head, "According to my observation, Chu Li is arrogant but he won't look down on others. His observation skills are sharp and his reaction is fast. I'm afraid I can't compare to him!"
"Is he really that powerful?" Song Liuying's slender eyebrows twitched slightly, "So, you can't suppress him?"
"Hehe …" Song Sansi laughed and shook his head. "He brought this upon himself. Originally, he was a First Grade Servant. Once he entered the residence, he would immediately take over this old servant's position. This was something that could not be helped. However, Princess Siao's assassination gave us a chance!"
"What chance?"
"I heard that Chu Li has already requested His Royal Highness to stay in the courtyard next to Princess Siao's and personally guard Princess Siao in case the assassin comes again!" Song Sansi laughed and shook his head, "I think he has feelings for Princess Siao. It's understandable. After all, he's still young."
"I think it's rare. It's rare to have such feelings," Song Liuying said lightly, "It's rare to see someone so loyal."
Song Sansi quickly said, "I'm also loyal to the Princess!"
"You're a cunning old bastard. When the situation isn't right, you run faster than me!" Song Liuying glared at him and scoffed, "Tell me, what chance!"
"Since Chu Li wants to guard Princess Siao, he naturally can't be distracted," Song Sansi smiled, "He's not suitable for the position of Internal Chief, right?"
"Hmm …" Song Liuying nodded, "He can't leave Princess Siao's courtyard. His hands and feet are tied, he's not suitable for the position of Internal Chief."
"That's right!" Song Sansi quickly said, "So the Princess can make suggestions to His Royal Highness. The position of Internal Chief should be left to us! "
"You're just greedy for power, aren't you?" Song Liuying said.
Song Sansi chuckled, "This old servant is indeed reluctant. Wangfei, with the position of internal chief steward in our hands, everyone in the residence is respectful to us. Once you hand it over, these guys will immediately change their faces and run to Xiao Wangfei to please her! "
"Yes, it's human nature." Song Liuying nodded slightly, "Don't look at feelings but at power. But you want this position because you don't want to make up for the deficit, right? "
"Hehe …" Song Sansi smiled embarrassedly, "Nothing can be hidden from Princess!"
"A hundred thousand silver taels is indeed not a small sum." Song Liuying said lightly, "I think it's better for you to make up for it. Times are different now. If His Royal Highness really wants to hand over the position of the Head of Internal Affairs to Chu Li, he might use you to establish his authority!"
Sigh … Song Sansi sighed and shook his head helplessly: Princess also knows that my son has squandered all our money. Now, how can we take out 100,000 taels of silver? Even if we have 10,000 taels of silver, we still can't!
He gritted his teeth. He scoffed, "So no matter what, we can't let Chu Li take the position of the Head of Internal Affairs!"
Song Liuying said lightly, "Looks like it's not for me but for you!"
"Princess, you have wronged me!" Song Sansi quickly said, "Even if Princess doesn't think for yourself, you should think for Lady Xiao. I have watched Lady Xiao grow up and I feel closer to her than my prodigal son. I really don't want Lady Xiao to suffer! … Without the position of the Princess and without the position of the Head of Internal Affairs, how can those short-sighted people in the Imperial Residence not roll their eyes at Lady Xiao? Don't treat Lady Xiao coldly?! "
Song Liuying frowned and thought about it. She nodded lightly.
Song Sansi's words struck a chord in her heart. Even if she didn't think for herself, she had to think for Qinger.
"Yes, I will mention this to His Royal Highness. But His Royal Highness hates it when women interfere in these matters. " Song Liuying shook her head and said, "Still the same words, quickly make up for the deficit so that Chu Li doesn't get hold of it!"
"I will think of a way," Song Sansi quickly nodded.
Song Liuying waved her hand, "Go, I want to visit there today and meet this Chu Li."
"Do you want me to come along?"
"What are you going to do!" Song Liuying waved her hand and said, "Go do what you need to do, don't bother me!"
"Yes. I will take my leave, "Song Sansi closed fist saluted and bowed, then left.
He stopped at the entrance of the Precious Light Courtyard, his face gloomy.
Cutting off one's wealth was like killing one's parents. The brat with the surname Chu was blocking his path to wealth, he had to think of a way to get rid of him completely!

Chu Li sat at the stone table in Siao Shi's courtyard, holding a book in his hand and beside him was a plum tree.
The Imperial Residence had a rich collection of books. As a rank one Scribe, although he did not have a position yet, the Scribes and Protectors of the Imperial Residence had already started to curry favor with him. With just a word, the Scribe in charge of the collection would immediately send a pile of books over.
Siao Shi was lying on the bed recuperating while Yang Xu and Xue Ling waited on her side, chatting with her.
Chu Li sat alone in front of the stone table, flipping through the books with great interest.
This book was a record of Spirit Beasts, it was considered an anecdote. He found the part about the Spirit Cranes and felt that it was not all nonsense.
The Spirit Cranes were indeed like what was written in the book, they laid two eggs in a nest. The male and female cranes would take turns to guard the nest, never leaving for even a moment. Once other Spirit Beasts came near, they would not be courteous.
As for the others, the Spirit Cranes were indifferent, they were not hostile towards all living things. They liked to eat grass roots, mostly the roots of exotic plants. Their speed was at the limit of the naked eye, human eyes could not catch up with their shadows.
At this moment, a maid announced from outside, "Princess Song has arrived."
Chu Li stood up and put down the book. He closed fist saluted Song Liuying who was walking over gracefully, and the graceful young girl beside Song Liuying, "Chu Li greets the Princess."
"Chief Chu, you're welcome," Song Liuying was dressed up to the nines. She was elegant and graceful, with a graceful bearing. She looked at Chu Li carefully.
The young girl beside her was graceful and exquisite, she had a hibiscus face and bright eyes. Between her gaze, there was a hint of indifference and indifference.
Chu Li looked at her carefully. This young girl should be Princess Song's daughter, Leng Qing. She seemed to be impatient with everything. She was not as indifferent as Xiao Qi, but she hated everything.
"How is Princess Siao's injury?" Song Liuying said lightly.
Chu Li's expression was heavy. He shook his head and said, "The assassin was indeed arrogant and vicious. He stabbed Lady Siao's heart. If it wasn't for the Spirit Blessing Pill, Lady Siao would have been dead! The imperial physician has already come and said that there is no other way. She can only recuperate slowly. She will probably recover in a year and a half. "
"So heavy?!" Song Liuying was shocked.
She was really surprised. She did not expect Siao Shi's injury to be so troublesome. She needed to recuperate for a year and a half. She thought that after taking the Spirit Blessing Pill, she would recover in a few days.
Not only was she unhappy, but she also felt a chill in her heart.
Princess Siao had the Spirit Blessing Pill but she did not. If the assassin stabbed her, she would have been dead by now. Only Qing Er would be left alone in this world!
Chu Li shook his head and sighed, "Lady Siao was lucky to be able to keep her life!"
"Chief Chu, Lady Siao invited Princess Song into the house to talk," Yang Xu walked out and said softly.
Chu Li extended his hand and invited Song Liuying.
