Master Han looked at Caiying with a stern expression: "That's not what you told me just now."

"You said that the princess didn't want me to offend Master Liao, so she carried the fruit for me to beg for mercy. How dare you, a maid, say such nonsense?"

Facing Mr. Han's round eyes, it was like a mountain called impending disaster pressing down hard.

Caiying hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "This slave misunderstood the princess's meaning. She didn't mean to say it wrong."

These words quietly pushed the responsibility back to Shen Ningning.

The little guy pursed his pink lips, looked at Master Han, and Nuo Nuo said: "Master, don't blame her. This is Sister Xie's maid, and it's just her first day with me."

After finishing speaking, the classmates below started talking in whispers——

"It turns out she's Xie Yuanjiu's maid. Tsk, tsk, then she's spreading random messages, which makes her feel a little uneasy and well-intentioned."

"If it's my own maid who can't even help to protect her, how can it be like this Caiying who wants the princess to be punished and says everything to Master Han."

They are all young ladies from famous families, and they hate the evil intentions of the servants who follow them.

For a time, all kinds of speculations about Caiying couldn't help but lead to Xie Yuanjiu.

When Caiying heard these words behind her, it almost turned into a sharp blade piercing her body!

If the young lady knew that she had caused trouble, she didn't know how to punish her.

Caiying was frightened and cried immediately. She knelt down and hugged Shen Ningning's little feet: "Princess, I really know that I was wrong. I am doing this for your own good."

Shen Ningning frowned.

"Stop crying, what if I make a noise to everyone? Didn't you say that on the first day of class, I should be a mediocre person and not stand out too much, lest everyone hate me?"

"Caiying, wipe your tears and come over and help me polish the ink." After the little guy said that, he pulled back his little feet and walked back to his position calmly.

Master Han stared at Caiying with his dark eyes.

Caiying knew in her heart that she had shot herself in the foot this time.

Therefore, he did not dare to disobey Shen Ningning's order, so he immediately came to her side obediently and knelt down to serve her.

After the review course is over, it's time for school to end.

The Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies is different from a private school. One day of studying and one day of rest, Shen Ningning was preparing to return to Langshan.

But as soon as he walked out of the Huangzi class, he saw Master Guo and several colleagues talking respectfully around Prime Minister Xie Suzhi.

Master Guo kept complimenting him, but Xie Suzhi kept a lukewarm smile, his eyes were as cold as snow, and he was also inattentive and perfunctory.

Until a soft and happy call: "Godfather!"

Only then did Xie Suzhi look up, and a warm smile decisively appeared on his handsome and majestic face.

"Ning Ning, your godfather is here to take you home for dinner." He strode towards the little guy.

Originally, he wanted to reach out and hug her, but he was afraid that he would be too enthusiastic and make Shen Ningning uncomfortable.

So, Xie Suzhi cautiously stretched out his hand: "Let's hold hands with my godfather, okay?"

Shen Ningning immediately put her fleshy little hand into his palm, smiling and arching her eyebrows: "Okay!"

Seeing the situation, Master Guo immediately stepped forward and complimented him: "The Prime Minister and the princess must have a special fate, they both have heroic spirit in their eyebrows."

The colleague next to him nodded and agreed: "They look like a real father and daughter."

Xie Suzhi's smile faded, but Shen Ningning didn't notice it. She just blinked her eyes happily.

"It's getting late, and I have to take Ning Ning home. Masters, please say goodbye for now." He said, and the others did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly sent them to the door respectfully.

Just as Xie Suzhi was about to carry Shen Ningning into the carriage, a pleasant call came from behind them: "Uncle, Princess."

Shen Ningning looked back, Xie Yuanjiu came with her maid, Caiying lowered her head and followed her.

Xie Suzhi's smile was almost faint: "Yuanjiu, why haven't you gone back yet?"

"I originally wanted to wait for the princess here and go home with her." Xie Yuanjiu smiled at Shen Ningning and asked, "Princess, how is Caiying's service today?"

Caiying lowered her head even further.

Shen Ningning blinked her bright black eyes: "Didn't Caiying tell Sister Xie Si? She got scolded by the master for me."

Xie Suzhi's expression suddenly turned cold: "Which master scolded you?"

Xie Yuanjiu frowned suspiciously.

She rushed over just now, wanting to take credit and let her uncle see how much she took care of Shen Ningning.

However, she did not have time to ask Caiying if anything happened today and why Shen Ningning suddenly went to their class to deliver fruit to her husband.

At this moment, Xie Yuanjiu turned around and saw that Caiying didn't dare to raise her head at all, and even trembled with fear because of Prime Minister Xie's words!

It's over.

Xie Yuanjiu's heart sank, and she hated herself for being impulsive this time.

Shen Ningning was about to say something, but she rubbed her belly and stuck out her tongue cutely.

"Daddy, I'm hungry. Shall we go home and have a meal first?" After studying for a whole day, she didn't even have enough to eat!

Xie Suzhi immediately carried her into the carriage: "Okay, let's go back home right now."

He looked back at Xie Yuanjiu: "Yuanjiu, do you want to go together?"

Xie Yuanjiu came back to her senses and managed to maintain a smile: "Uncle, I still have questions to ask the master. You can go back with the princess first."

Xie Suzhi nodded: "Don't go home too late. I held a family dinner for Ning Ning tonight and called your parents, so you have to come."

Xie Yuanjiu said he knew, and then the carriage drove away in a hurry.

At this moment, her heart dropped to freezing point.

Turning around, she looked at Caiying coldly: "Go to my carriage, tell me exactly what happened!"

Caiying was so scared that she cried a little: "Yes..."

In the carriage, Caiying told Xie Yuanjiu everything that happened today. Xie Yuanjiu raised her hand without explanation and hit her hard on the face with a "pop" sound.

"Ah..." Caiying fell down, got up quickly, knelt down again, and said with tears streaming down her face: "Miss, please calm down."

Xie Yuanjiu hated her for being stupid and hurting herself.

"You targeted Shen Ningning, just so you could do it without anyone noticing, but you used such a stupid method. Are you afraid that others wouldn't be able to see your intentions?"

"Miss, what should we do now? The princess will definitely tell the prime minister everything. I don't want to be kicked out of the house. The last time Sandalwood was kicked out by the young master, she was sold to a brothel and died not long after!"

If they work as maids in high-class families without the protection of their masters, they will not end up well when they are sold to someone else.

Usually because of her fair appearance and some knowledge, she becomes a brothel girl or someone's eighteen-room concubine.

Xie Yuanjiu stared out the window at the carriages coming and going to pick up students, and her heart felt like sinking to the bottom of a lake.

Chilly, cold.

However, she quickly calmed down her emotions and thought for a while and said: "You said that Shen Ningning was pretending to be stupid on purpose, waiting to expose you in one fell swoop. I think you are overthinking."

"She is just a child, only five years old after the New Year. She will not have such a deep city."

"Even if she does complain, we can use her kindness to make her not bear to blame you, and even plead with your uncle for you, so there is no need to be afraid."

Hearing what Xie Yuanjiu said, Caiying felt relieved.

Her young lady has always been able to manipulate people's hearts, and she will definitely be right this time!
