This is the second time Ye Lan has been called to the Princess's Mansion alone.

Compared to her last time she was trembling and fearful, she was obviously much more generous and decent this time.

Perhaps it was the mentality of the housekeeper who had been trained for more than half a year, or perhaps it was... because of what happened at Ye Zhu's full moon banquet.

It turns out that the princess who is tall and above is actually such an unbearable person.

She looks noble on the surface, is dirty in private, and is even worse than her a illegitimate lady from the Marquis’s Mansion!

Because of this mentality, Ye Lan not only did not shrink back, but instead felt an inexplicable sense of superiority.

Even though she has not revealed her face, as long as you exist, people will be captured by others.

"Alan has seen the princess." Ye Lan saluted.

Nangong Lian took a light look and took Ye Lan's subtle little thoughts that were deliberately hidden.

"No need to be polite, sit down." she said.

Ye Lan sat down at the bottom as she spoke, and the maid served tea.

Nangong Lian picked up the tea, "It's windy outside, drink some hot tea to get rid of the cold."

"Thank you Princess." Ye Lan thanked him, naturally picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip.

She was completely different from the previous one who didn't dare to reach out to serve tea, for fear that her trembling hands would reveal her nervous look.

Nangong Lian lowered her eyes and asked casually: "How is the butler recently?"

"For the blessing of the princess, everything goes well." Ye Lan said.

"Is the servant okay?"

"At the beginning, some people who rely on their seniority, I followed the princess's method and punished a few and rewarded a few. Now I use it very easily."

"Is there any unknown thing in the account book?"

Ye Lan paused, picked up the teacup and held it in his hand, "Everything is fine, please rest assured, princess."

"Is that true?" Nangong Lian showed a kind smile on her lips, "I don't know anything."

After saying that, A Yuan, who was behind him, took out an account book and put it in front of Ye Lan.

Ye Lan's face changed suddenly.

"The income of these five shops has suddenly decreased sharply since September last year. I sent someone to inquire. There was no problem in the shop. Why is the money in the account less?"

After saying that, A Yuan took out another account book.

"This is the expense of the Hou Mansion. Your uncle and aunt are not here. A Ming and his wife only came back for a few days in the academy. My husband, I, A Li, Ayu's food, clothing and expenses are all expenses of the Princess' Mansion. But the expenses of the Hou Mansion in the past six months are actually 50% more than the previous year."

Looking at Ye Lan's little face wet with cold sweat, Nangong Lian smiled more gently, but deep in her eyes, she was sharp and cold, "Alan, you have all the money greedy, right?"

Bang!

The teacup in Ye Lan's hand fell to the ground, smashed it, and the tea splashed everywhere.

She stood up in a hurry, "I'm sorry, Princess, Alan accidentally, please forgive me!"

I don’t know if it’s about accidentally greedying for money or accidentally breaking the teacup.

"What a big deal, let's scare you." Nangong Lian winked at A Yuan, and A Yuan stepped forward to help Ye Lan to the other side and sit down.

"Don't worry, I will keep this secret for you and will not tell you."

After Nangong Lian finished speaking, she picked up the teacup, drank it leisurely, and ate a small snack from time to time.

It seemed that she didn't say anything just now, nor did she see Ye Lan's blood-lost little face.

Ye Lan clenched her lower lip, she knew that Nangong Lian was waiting for her to make a promise.

She didn't want to say it, but she knew she had no choice.

"Princess Xie keeps the password for Alan. If the princess uses Alan's place in the future, Alan will do her best."

Nangong Lian put down the teacup and smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that I happened to have something to do and I need your help."

——

When Ye Lan left for the last time, it was A Yuan who gave it to him personally.

After she sent her outside the princess's mansion, she turned around and left.

The wind in early spring was still a little cold, and Ye Lan, who came out of the warm room, soon felt the coolness.

She stood three meters away from the Princess' Mansion and looked back at the luxurious and majestic Princess' Mansion behind her.

I just felt a chill rising from the soles of my feet.

The plaque is said to be the three words "The Princess' Mansion with Dragon and Flying Phoenix" written by the emperor, like a demon with teeth and claws.

Behind the solemn and solemn red lacquer gate is not a path of embroidery full of glory, but a bottomless abyss that breeds sin.

Ye Lan recalled that when she made a mistake, she came to the princess's mansion for the first time and collected the box of gold.

Nangong Lian taught her the art of controlling the underworld, so that she could understand the importance of silver and the complementary relationship between power and silver.

It was from that day that she began to carefully make a fuss on the account book and get money from it.

At first, it was just the cost of the Hou Mansion. Gradually, she became more and more courageous and extended her hand to some profitable industries under the Hou Mansion.

I originally thought I was doing it perfectly, but I didn’t know that all this had been seen by those who were interested.

Or maybe, from the beginning, this was the gorgeous bait that Nangong Lian threw at her.

But she couldn't refuse and swallowed it in one mouthful.

When the bait penetrated deep into the throat, Nangong Lian pulled it gently and realized that she was just a fish that someone was fishing.

But even though she already knew that it was bait, the deliciousness made her unable to let go.

She couldn't turn back, nor did she want to turn back.

——

After Ye Lan left, Nangong Lian showed tiredness on her face. A Yuan helped her to the couch, "Princess, please take a break first."

"I'm fine, I can stand it for Ah Joo."

"Princess, I don't understand why you are dealing with the people in the big house now."

In A Yuan's view, Nangong Lian's biggest crisis now comes from the palace, and the most important thing is how to make the emperor and the empress dowager forgive her.

"The emperor and his mother have not summoned me to the palace so far, nor have they sent anyone to ask, which means they are really angry. So even if I throw out the biggest bait, the two princes are still protecting themselves."

Nangong Lian said: "So at this time, I can only place my hope on Lin'an Hou."

"Marquis Lin'an has not been in charge for a long time and has a low status in the emperor's heart. The princess puts her hope on him, but I'm afraid..." A Yuan said worriedly.

"How can I not have a trump card in the Hundred Years Marquis' Mansion? It's not that Marquis Lin'an cannot help me, the key is whether I am worth it and show my biggest trump card."

"I don't understand very much."

Nangong Lian's eyes showed a deep calculating light, "I am one with my husband and wife, and both prosper and both prosper and lose both. If Ayu becomes the only grandson of the Marquis' Mansion, the son-in-law becomes the only candidate for title. If the Marquis of Lin'an does not want to see the decline of the Marquis' Mansion, he will have to help me!"

——

In a house with white walls and green tiles, a thin old man was lying on a tiger-skinned rattan chair, shaking gently with his eyes closed.

Two overlapping hands were placed on the abdomen, and a silver ring made of snake and knife were engraved on his thumb, glowing with a cold light.

In front of him, a man in black, of medium figure was reporting to him.

"The Great Protector, my subordinates have found someone to find someone to expose Princess Chunhua."

"explain."

"It's the man from the Shadowless Hall."

If Wuyingtang takes action, no wonder Nangong Lian will be exposed so thoroughly, "Who asked Wuyingtang's people to do it?"

"I am not sure, but there is something strange." The man in black said: "The person who exposed Princess Chunhua and convinced them to come was the people from Wuyingtang. But the people who escorted them away and protected them were the people from Wuyatang."

"Wuya Hall?" The old man looked calm and asked with his eyes closed, "But is the branch of Wuying Hall?"

"No, it is said that it was founded by a man named Qiu Ya. Qiu Ya was invited by General Ye and taught several young masters and ladies to ride and shoot."

The old man raised his eyelids and slowly closed them, "Ye Yunlang has no reason to deal with Nangong Lian."

"I understand. But I found out that when Miss Ye San went to Chenliu, in addition to Prince Cheng, there was also..." The man in black paused, "The man from Wuyingtang."

After the words came, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, and his turbid eyes emitted a sharp light.

"Ye Yunlang's daughter knows the people from Wuyingtang and the people from Wuyatang." He let out a night owl-like laugh from his throat, "Ye Yunlang will not deal with Nangong Lian, but his daughter has found someone to peel off Nanyinglian's skin."

“Funny, interesting.”

The old man closed his eyes again, and a majestic and mysterious voice sounded, "Continue to pay attention."

"yes."

On the afternoon of that day, Li Si and Lan Qiu met with the Hundred Bird Formation that Ye Miao asked them to draw.
