<span>Chapter 40: She had a lot of time part 2


    <span>The pitch dark night was very quiet. It was as if all living things had fallen asleep.


    <span>A white shadow entered the Yu Han Pce quietly.


    <span>He slowly walked towards the side of the bed without making any noises. He was


    <span>as calm as water, and couldn’t take his eyes off of the person sleeping on the bed.


    <span>At this moment, no one knew what he was thinking about. It was not known how


    <span>long he had been looking at her before he looked away. He started to walk towards


    <span>the other room, opened the door, and then shut the door. Everything was back to


    <span>how it was before, as if nothing had ever happened.


    <span>It was a beautiful morning when Mu Zi Ling woke up early. She changed into a pair


    <span>offortable clothing and headed out to exercise. Once she thought about


    <span>yesterday, she felt unhappy.


    <span>“Young Miss, someone came from the pce! She said her name was Lin mama,


    <span>and she’s here to deliver a message,” said Xie hurriedly as she ran indoors. What


    <span>did the Royal Pce want with the Young Miss this time?


    <span>Mu Zi Ling furrowed her brows and said, “Let them wait in the front hall. I will see


    <span>them once I''ve finished changing.”


    <span>The reason the Empress Dowager sent over a person, was clearly to get her to


    <spane to the Royal Pce. As for what the Empress Dowager wanted her there for,


    <span>she had already made a guess. This time around, she must be extra careful.


    <span>“Of course, this servant now leave,” said Xie as she left.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling changed into some low key, yet luxurious light clothes. Although it


    <span>wasn’t as grand and as rich as her other attire, these clothes wouldn’t lose her any


    <span>face either.


    <span>As long as it was simple, it was fine. Mu Zi Ling then took graceful steps towards


    <span>the front hall.


    <span>When Lin mama saw Mu Zi Ling, she walked up to her arrogantly. She didn’t even


    <span> pay her respects before she started to talk, “Princess, this old servant carries a


    <span>message from the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager summons the


    <span>princess to the Royal Pce.”


    <span>Mu Zi Ling red coldly at Lin mama, who was using her identity to bully her. Then


    <span>she coldly said, “Did the message from the Empress Dowager also include for


    <span>servants to not to pay their respects when they see me? You’re allowed to even


    <span>that speak rudely to this Princess?”


    <span>Mu Zi Ling had heard that this Lin mama was highly favored by the Empress


    <span>Dowager. She had also heard that the Lin mama who came over to retrieve the


    <span>handkerchief of chastity, had already been killed by the Empress Dowager, which


    <span>was the reason why this Lin mama could climb up so smoothly and be one


    <span>of the Empress Dowager’s most favored people. In the pce she was rampant,


    <span>domineering, and relied on force to bully others.


    <span>“This old servant doesn’t dare. May I ask the Princess to follow me to the Royal


    <span>Pce? We wouldn’t want to keep the Empress Dowager waiting for too long.”


    <span>Lin mama wasn’t scared in the slightest at Mu Zi Ling’s coldness. Instead, she


    <span>gathered even more courage and used the Empress Dowager’s name.


    <span>Lin mama had already heard from the pce that this weak, ignorant, and


    <span>ipetent Princess was not ordinary. However, she just didn’t believe the rumour.


    <span>How unordinary could a little girl, who knew of nothing, get? Maybe after scaring


    <span>her, she would follow her to the Royal Pce.


    <span>Mu Zi Lingughed coldly and ignored her. She walked over to the main seat and


    <span>sat down. Then she picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip. Then she slowly took


    <span>another sip, and another. She had no intention of leaving, instead, she seemed to


    <span>be waiting for something.


    <span>When Lin mama saw that Mu Zi Ling was ignoring her, she raised her voice and


    <span>said, “Princess, are you trying to disobey the Empress Dowager’s imperial degree?”


    <span>Still Mu Zi Ling stayed silent while sipping her cup of tea. Normally, she did really


    <span>like to act like she was in a master and servant rtionship, however, this old thing


    <span>didn’t know what was good for her. If she could not get that old servant to pay her


    <span>respects, then she would not leave. She had lots of time to wait for this wicked old


    <span>servant.


    <span>She wasn’t in a rush, but Lin mama was getting anxious. She knew that she had


    <span>only just climbed up in position recently, so she should not show off too much. If


    <span>she made the Empress Dowager wait for too long, it could be possible that she


    <span>would be the one with bad luck. This stupid girl really was unordinary. Not only was


    <span>she unafraid of her, she was also able to fully disy her arrogance as a Princess.


    <span>Lin mama finally lowered her head and disdainfully said, “This old servant greets


    <span>the Princess.”


    <span>Mu Zi Ling didn’t look at her, instead, she looked at Xie and asked, “Xie, was that


    <span>how a servant is supposed to greet a master?” Although she had been asking Xie,


    <span>her words were meant for Lin mama.


    <span>At this point, Lin mama was very angry, but she didn’t dare let her anger spill out.


    <span>She could only settle down again. She bent her back, lowered her head, and stiffly


    <span>said, “This servant greets the Princess.” After she finished speaking, she raised her


    <span> head before Mu Zi Ling said anything.


    <span>“Xie, when a servant is greeting a master, should they be use an angry tone while


    <span>speaking? They seem like emotionless words from a dying person. Also, when the


    <span> master hasn’t said anything, can the servant raise their head themselves?” Mu Zi


    <span>Ling continued to ask Xie. This old hag didn’t even know who she is and had the


    <span>nerve to act arrogant with her.


    <span>She bent her back, lowered her head, and said loudly through clenched teeth,


    <span>“The old servant pays her respects to the Princess. I wish for the Princess to be


    <span>auspicious.” This time, she did not raise her head by herself.


    <span>Satisfied, Mu Zi Ling nodded her head and lightly said, “This is how a servant is


    <span>supposed to act. Alright, let''s not keep the Empress Dowager waiting for any longer


    <span>and head over now.”


    <span>Once she finished speaking, she elegantly reached out her hand and left with Xie.


    <span>Behind them, Lin mama was gripping on tightly onto a handkerchief, she red


    <span>angrily at the master servant pair that had walked out.
