Chapter 1415: Maid
"Young Miss, do you really want to drive your maid away?"
"No, your lady wants you to be happy."
"Being by your side is already very happy."
"You little maid."
"Young Miss, please don't keep calling me 'little maid'; in terms of age, I'm a few years older than you."
"That's unrelated to age."
Accumulating the years from past and present, Xuexue's age is even older, but this is a secret that cannot be revealed; otherwise, she would be like an Old Monster, worthy of being slain by everyone.
Xuexue tidied up her clothes.
After grooming herself.
Slowly having breakfast, she led a few maids towards the hall.
The Hall.
A large round table was laden with breakfast, their variety numerous, including crystal dumplings, Osmanthus Cake, pear blossom pastries, among others, with bird's nest and shark fin soup abundantly present, extremely luxurious.
The War Prince, who usually dislikes dining with women, was acting unusually today, assembling many women from the mansion to dine with him, among them the Princess Consort and Lady Li.
At the large round table sat over ten women dressed to the nines.
At this moment, they shed their usual chirpiness, each very ladylike, sitting at the table and delicately eating.
The War Prince sat at the head, his face masked, putting down his chopsticks, immediately a maid offering a handkerchief...
"Prince."
The War Prince took the handkerchief, gently wiped his mouth, and placed it down, the maid taking the dirty handkerchief and retreating.
Evidently, the War Prince was already full.
Seeing this, the others laid down their chopsticks, and sat upright.
"All finished eating." The War Prince glanced at the women below.
Madam Wang, considering herself the hostess, spoke up first: "Prince, we've all finished eating."
Then she turned her head to ask the other women: "Ladies, wouldn't you all agree?"
Although disdaining this woman, given the Prince's presence, everyone was very gracious, responding in unison: "Finished eating."
Madam Wang turned back proudly, looking at the War Prince as if seeking approval: "Prince!"
The War Prince didn't even glance at her, coldly stating: "Since everyone is done eating and full, let's discuss the serious matter."
Madam Wang froze, wasn't the Prince inviting them here just to have breakfast together? What else could be the matter?
"Prince, is there another serious matter? You might as well tell me, I can help alleviate the Prince's burdens." Assuming herself the Princess Consort of the War Prince's Mansion, Madam Wang naturally stepped forward.
The War Prince: "Regarding the poisoning incident of Madam Situ."
Madam Wang was stunned, why is this matter still being investigated, wasn't it said to be over? She secretly cursed: Damn Xiao Cui, such an important matter, yet didn't inform her promptly?
Usually serving her in the mornings, Xiao Cui was nowhere to be seen today; because of the Prince's urgent summons, Madam Wang rushed to the hall, not yet handling this matter, thinking she'd deal with Xiao Cui one good time upon returning together.
Seizing the opportunity, Madam Wang didn't forget to stamp on Xuexue: "That woman is too arrogant within the mansion, having enemies is understandable, unlike me, who harmonizes with the sisters."
Saying so, she wore a false smile facing everyone: "Sisters, isn't sister right?"
The Prince was observing from the side!
Purely giving face to the Prince, everyone again loudly responded: "Yes, the Princess Consort is amiable, everyone likes her."
