Song Liuying's expression did not change but her heart sank.
She knew that Song Sansi had embezzled quite a lot of silvers, no less than a hundred thousand taels, but she did not expect him to be so daring to do such a thing.
Xue Ningyu shook her head and sighed, "For those who paid less, he would assign the dirty and tiring jobs to them. For those who paid more, they would be given easier jobs. This Internal Chief Supervisor is really interesting, he's so impressive, he's even more impressive than the Royal Highness!"
"I don't believe that Li Gui doesn't have a share," Song Liuying said lightly.
Xue Ningyu said, "How would Li Gui dare to not want it? If he dared to say anything, he would've been harmed by Song Sansi! "
"Sister Xue, don't talk nonsense!" Song Liuying frowned, "No matter how much of a bastard Song Sansi is, he wouldn't dare to harm anyone!"
"Haha!" Xue Ningyu giggled, she shook her head and said, "Of course, Song Sansi will look down in front of you, like an old dog, but in front of others, he's a different person, don't be fooled by him!"
Song Liuying frowned, "The Royal Highness is well aware of what Song Sansi did, how could he hide it from the Royal Highness! … It's just that the Royal Highness is kind and did not point it out, seeing that he is still loyal, he did not punish him. If he really crossed the line, the Royal Highness would not hesitate to make a move, … This old man also understands this, he has always been grateful, trembling with fear, he would never dare to act recklessly! "
"That might not be the case," Xue Ningyu scoffed, "How can we guess the Royal Highness's thoughts? I think if Song Sansi knows what's good for him, he would obediently submit a letter and resign from his position as chief. If he were to cling to power and position and make things difficult for the Royal Highness, that would not be good, … Don't you think so, Sister Song?! "
She stared at Song Liuying with a faint smile, a sarcastic smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.
Even with such an expression, she still looked sweet and charming.
Chu Li shook his head as he listened from outside.
Siao Shi, however, was enjoying it. She felt that it was very interesting, much more interesting than staring blankly.
She coughed lightly and smiled sweetly, "Sisters, in my opinion, forget it. Chu Li has to keep watch outside, where would he find the time to do other things? Even if he became the chief, it would still be an empty position. Can't manage things? "
"That's different." Xue Ningyu smiled and said, "Sister Siao, you're also from the House of High Dukes, a wealthy aristocrat. Naturally, you know the temperament of these servants. These servants don't dare to be negligent. If they don't have this position, they will suffer! "
Song Liuying said lightly, "Li Gui is only the Deputy Chief. Could it be that Sister Xue has been looked down upon? Which servant dares to mess around?! "
"Li Gui is a Deputy Chief after all, so compared to you, I'm still far behind. If there's anything good in the residence, it's always the Precious Light Courtyard. My Xuanji Courtyard is always ranked behind," Xue Ningyu said.
"Maybe it's because I entered the residence two years earlier than you." Song Liuying said, "After all, people still remember old friendships."
"Sister Song, do you believe your own words?" Xue Ningyu scoffed.
Siao Shi nodded thoughtfully, "Hmm, Sister Xue's words make sense. Yes, I need a position. Even if I don't do anything, just let my subordinates do it! "
Song Liuying's expression changed slightly.
Xue Ningyu scoffed, "Chu Li is rank one. The highest position in the residence is the Inner Residence Chief. There's no higher position."
Song Liuying pondered for a while and said slowly, "This matter, we don't have the final say. As for how to arrange Chu Li, I think His Royal Highness has his own decision. It's better for us women to speak less. What do you say, Sister Xue? "
"Sister Song's words are right." Xue Ningyu smiled, "But as women, of course, we have to share His Royal Highness's worries. Even if it's a mistake, it's still better than Song Sansi who is obsessed with power and position. Whether His Royal Highness agrees or not is another matter. Whether Song Sansi will submit a letter to resign is another matter. What do you say, Sister Song? "
Siao Shi smiled as she watched the two of them fight openly and covertly. She coughed softly and said, "It's better to stay put than to take action. Let His Royal Highness make the arrangements. I believe His Royal Highness will not mistreat Chu Li."
"That's right, that's right." Song Liuying quickly nodded and smiled, "I like to make pastries. When I get back, I'll make some for Sister Siao to try. I just don't know if she's on a diet now."
Siao Shi sighed, "She's on a medication right now. She needs to be on a diet."
She sighed to herself that the show was about to end. It was really not satisfying.
She always had the mentality of being able to leave at any time. She was detached and did not really treat herself as a member of the Imperial Residence. That was why she could look down from above. She felt that the two women's fight was interesting. It was like watching a good show.
Xue Ningyu smiled, "Lying on the bed and not being able to move. Just thinking about it makes me suffer. I can't stand it for even a day!"
Song Liuying nodded lightly, "Sister Xue is born in a family of generals. You've been practicing with swords and spears since young. Naturally, you can't stay idle."
"Practicing with swords and spears can have a good body. Studying all day long won't do. You'll damage your body. That's not good." Xue Ningyu smiled.
Song Liuying said, "It's better for girls to be quiet."
"His Royal Highness usually sits in the study room all day long. It's too quiet." Xue Ningyu smiled sweetly, "That's why he likes to go to my place. Sister Song, think about it. His Royal Highness is usually bored. Now that he's met with someone as dull as you, how can he not feel bored?"
Song Liuying clenched her jade-like hands in her sleeves. She glared at Xue Ningyu.
At this moment, someone shouted from outside, "There's an assassin!"
"Catch the assassin!"
The three women's faces changed slightly.
Xue Ling took two steps to the bed and blocked in front of Siao Shi. Yang Xu retreated and shrunk to the corner of the wall.
As they had rehearsed beforehand, the two of them acted calmly and swiftly.
Song Liuying and Xue Ningyu's faces changed slightly.
Xue Ningyu was petite and cute. She was sweet and cute but she was bold. She scoffed, "More assassins! Is the Imperial Residence a place where they can come and go as they please?! "
She took a step and was about to walk out.
Chu Li's voice was heard, "Princess Xue, I'll do it!"
Xue Ningyu strode to the door. She saw Chu Li in a white robe. He stood quietly at the entrance of the courtyard. He did not look nervous at all, "Chu Li, you better bring Sister Siao Shi away first. They might be here to look for her!"
Chu Li closed fist saluted at her and shook his head, "It's too late!"
After saying this, the three masked men in grey fluttered down from the top of the wall. They flew towards Xue Ningyu with their backs facing Chu Li.
Chu Li threw out three punches lightly.
The three masked men in grey fluttered and moved horizontally.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "Three muffled sounds came from the wall. The window exploded.
Xue Ling waved her palms and blocked the splinters that flew into the house.
Chu Li had already appeared in front of the three masked men in grey. The long sword on his waist turned into a dark light. In an instant, it was aimed at the throats of the three men.
The three of them exclaimed in surprise and quickly dodged.
They did not expect Chu Li's sword to be so fast.
Chu Li's dark sword light enveloped the three of them in an instant.
The three of them did not have time to counterattack. They could only keep dodging. They were afraid that if they hesitated, the tip of the sword would pierce through their throats.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Li had stabbed more than a hundred times. The sword force was getting fiercer and fiercer. The three of them were surrounded by the sword light.
The three of them were like flies in a spider's web. They were getting weaker and weaker. They were about to be stabbed at any time.
Xue Ningyu was dumbfounded.
"Chi!" A light whistle was heard. One of the masked men in grey was stabbed in the throat. However, he shot out a flying knife before he died.
The purple gold light on Chu Li's body flickered and disappeared. The flying knife was stabbed into his right chest.
