Chapter 2736: Sold

"Stop talking, there’s no time, hurry up and go!" Xuexue was running quickly in the War Prince’s Mansion.

In a moment, when Long Rui reacts, no one will be able to escape.

The servants who were cleaning felt a gust of wind pass by them. When they turned their heads, a silhouette and a bird whizzed past at such speed that they vanished before their eyes in the span of three breaths.

"Who was that just now? How could they run so fast?"

"Did you see that bird? Who else could it be but the Princess Consort."

"Why is the Princess Consort running so fast?"

"Do you even need to ask? She must have sold the Prince’s women, and the Prince got angry."

The maids gossiped while working.

Everyone was saying that the Princess Consort was daring to challenge the Prince, selling off the hundreds of women in the mansion. No wonder the Prince was furious. As expected, once the Prince came back, the Princess Consort fled.

"It’s the Prince who spoiled the Princess Consort to be so bold."

"The Princess Consort really doesn’t know her place. No matter how much the Prince dotes on her, he would never abandon the whole forest for her."

"Exactly! The Prince is the War God of Moli Country; he could never love just one woman for his entire life. The Princess Consort is just being unreasonable."

"Isn’t that so? It’s normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines. What’s there to be jealous about?"

"This time, the Princess Consort has caused a big mess. Daring to provoke the Prince’s wrath, let’s see if she’ll dare to act willfully in the mansion anymore."

The maids who were originally working gathered in groups of three or five and discussed heatedly.

"You dead girls, gossiping about the master behind their back, are you tired of living?" Suddenly, a violent shout came from behind.

The maids jumped in fright, turning around to see the steward standing behind them, glaring with anger.

Too many things happened today, leaving the steward dizzy and exhausted. On top of that, these maids didn’t know better and spoke ill of the Princess Consort behind her back. If the Prince found out, the steward would surely get scolded again.

Oh! Managing the War Prince’s Mansion is too hard! The steward was at his wits’ end.

Every single day, there’s not a moment’s peace, always causing trouble for him.

Seeing the steward angry, the maids immediately scattered like frightened birds.

"These dead girls, they drive me crazy." The steward placed his hands on his hips, scolding at their retreating backs.

Being a steward in a big household is no easy task. Managing the entire family’s daily needs is fine, but when something goes wrong, it’s the master who does the scolding. Had it not been for the steward’s unwavering loyalty to the Prince, he would have quit long ago.

......

"Master, master, wait for me."

Xiao Jiu flapped its wings desperately, flying hard behind Xuexue. Its master was running faster and faster, and even the bird struggled to keep up.

The guards at the gate felt a gust of wind blow by, a black shadow whisked past them in a flash...

"Huh? What was that?" one of the guards said.

Then, a small bird stumbled out, flapping its little body in a clumsy flight, making them worry it might just drop from the sky from lack of energy.

Upon focusing their gaze, they realized that the figure running like the wind was indeed the Princess Consort, followed by Xiao Jiu.

The gate guards were stunned, mumbling to themselves, "What’s going on with the Princess Consort? It seems like she’s being chased by a ghost."

"Do you need to ask? Today, the Princess Consort did something earth-shattering. She sold all the Prince’s women, could the Prince let her get away with this?"

Unexpectedly, just as the guard finished speaking, he felt a pain on his head, crying out in agony, "Ouch!"

"Who are you calling a ghost? Who’s a ghost?" an acute voice came from above.
