Pretty Consort: Prince, Don't Run away

He quickly got up and pointed at Xi Mengyao, but did not say anything for a long time.

"What's the point of being so nervous? I just heard that there was a problem with the field outside and came over to take a look. Looking at you guys, you actually treat me like a ferocious beast. Truly sad."

Xi Mengyao smiled as she walked over. She was also holding onto her umbrella as well.

However, she didn't care about the details and slowly walked over.

At first, they were even on guard, but they did not know what was going on behind them. They gradually let their guard down, and turned to look at Xi Mengyao.

Xi Mengyao walked over to take a look and saw that there were still people busy working in the fields. In the middle of the fields, there was a large umbrella.

From the looks of it, he seemed to be digging something up.

She couldn't tell after looking at it for a while, so she walked over to a person and asked, "What are you doing?"

The man never thought that Xi Mengyao would actually ask him this.

He couldn't even recover his wits. He could only stare at her blankly, not daring to speak for a long time.

Xi Mengyao did not seem to be in a rush, nor did she urge them. Instead, she waited quietly by the side, using her gaze to look at the others.

This abnormal silence made people feel even more uncomfortable. After all, that person couldn't bear such torture.

Although her gaze appeared to be harmless, when she occasionally met someone, those who were seen by her would lower their heads like children caught by adults and forced to do bad things.

The probing look in her eyes and the silent questioning made people have no choice but to bite the bullet and say softly, "They … He was digging a bronze horse. Just a while ago, Ministry Councillor found a huge bronze horse … "

Because the Ministry Councillor Liu's luxurious house had been set on fire, only a few people had come over to take a look. It was extremely tragic inside, and quite a few people had died.

However, due to the pressure from above, no one came to cause trouble. In the end, they couldn't act as arrogantly as before.

The bronze horse was too big, and no one dared to make any plans for a while. Ministry Councillor Liu was not in a hurry, he knew that it would take a lot of effort to dig it out.

But who would have thought that it would rain so heavily today? The Ministry Councillor Liu was afraid that the horse would be broken, so he found an excuse and quickly gathered people to have a look.

The man explained in a low voice. He didn't know much, it was mostly speculation, but it was pretty close.

Hearing that, Xi Mengyao laughed, she raised her head, and turned to look, only to see that the people inside seemed to be lacking, while Du Ao was looking at the situation outside, there were some people who raised their heads to look.

Some of the guards, Xi Mengyao did not recognize, but the person inside seemed to recognize her. Some of them raised their heads and saw that it was Xi Mengyao, their expressions changed as they immediately turned to greet the overseer, Ministry Councillor.

Ministry Councillor Liu was impatient, after being called out, his face did not look good, and he did not bother to shout out politely either.

Xi Mengyao was generous, she raised her hand and greeted him from afar.

At this time, Ministry Councillor Liu's face had already revealed a strange greyish white colour, he looked both embarrassed and afraid. After a long while, he coughed again, and came over to greet them.

Xi Mengyao waved her hand and said loudly, "Forget it, I don't want to know what is going on either. I'm just here to take a look."

The Ministry Councillor Liu seemed to have thought of something and stopped in his tracks. Standing there, he clasped his hands at Xi Mengyao.

Another Attendant came over to pass the message, "Actually, my old master came only to take a look … "Whether this can be preserved or not, the lord has said that his fortune has basically been destroyed by more than half …"

This time, he was in a terrible situation. He contacted his son and son-in-law, but the two both said there was nothing they could do.

Since ancient times, this merchant had made a great profit. He probably didn't get much in the palace, so he could only be meticulous in his calculations.

"If you don't think for yourself, then what about our old master from now on …"

The Attendant looked like he was very familiar with the Old Ministry Councillor, his tone was not too polite either, he was only speaking until he was touched, yet Xi Mengyao remained expressionless.

Seeing her like this, Attendant couldn't help but become nervous.

"You don't have to be so nervous, I'm just here to take a look."

Xi Mengyao only waved her hand, she really thought that she was someone who came to look for food, now that she thought about it, she felt that she was being naive.

Thinking about it, she once again waved her hand and said to the Attendant, "Do what you can, these things have nothing to do with me."

Attendant did not know what he meant, but he had a good eye for discernment. Seeing that Xi Mengyao did not say anything, she immediately ran back to report.

From the looks of it, it was difficult for the Ministry Councillor Liu to come over. After the fields were drenched in the rain, it was extremely muddy, and even if the strong man was running inside, it would be difficult for him to do anything.

Xi Mengyao held onto her umbrella, standing by the side, but intentionally or unintentionally, she started to look at the people outside.

There were all kinds of people. There were a few who looked familiar earlier, but stood far away as if they were afraid of her. A pair of eyes would pretend to walk away.

Only a few woodcutter like people were standing there in groups of twos and threes. It seemed that they weren't very afraid of her.

Xi Mengyao thought for a while, then went over and asked softly, "How long have you guys been working here, and have always been working under him?"

The few of them were suddenly questioned, not knowing how to reply.

However, looking at Ministry Councillor Liu's attitude, they could tell that her status was not ordinary and did not dare to offend her. After thinking for a moment, they nodded their heads.

"We are all here as workers and have always been doing things for the Ministry Councillor. However, in the absence of Ministry Councillor these few days, we have stolen a little laziness … "

"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask, do you guys always hang around the fields when you're free?" Seeing them trembling in fear, Xi Mengyao eased up her voice.

In the end, she was still a beauty. If she were to retract her aura, she would look gentle as well.

Upon seeing this, the woodcutters mustered up their courage and carefully moved a few steps forward.

"How can we be so idle? We have both old and young people here, and we need to support our families." You don't know how stingy Ministry Councillor is, the wages he gives us is lower than others! "

"Then …"

"Just what in the world is going on here? He's not on guard against anything else, we …" The woodcutter said he was addicted and was about to go down, but someone next to him quickly elbowed him in the groin.

The man thought about what he had just said and his expression changed.

Xi Mengyao immediately knew that she had probably been scammed before, since the other employers did not like it. The old man lowered the price and invited them over.

It wasn't a big deal for her to have someone like this. If it wasn't a big deal, she would have preferred to have someone like this. Being brave and able to do things that ordinary people couldn't do was better than being honest and honest.

She gave a gentle smile and pretended not to hear what she had said before starting another paragraph: "Then, do you know that there is a Jade Bead Village nearby?"
