Dong Chen led Qian Jiujiu to shabby building.

At that instant, Qian Jiujiu was certain that she saw a spark of joy in Dong Chen's eyes, and concluded that he was gloating over her misfortune. "Princess Consort, this is your residence."

After introducing her house to Qian Jiujiu, Dong Chen was ready to leave the place. Meanwhile, Qian Jiujiu stared at the scene before her, mouth agape.

What the h*II? Is that a spiderweb?

Even a beggar will not live in this place! She turned to look at Dong Chen, eyes filled with disbelief.

"Guard Dong, are you sure you're not taking revenge on me?"

Haughtily, Dong Chen shook his head. "This is His Highness' order."

Right after he finished his words, Dong Chen walked away. Qian Jiujiu stared at Dong Chen as he gradually disappeared into the distance. Then, she turned to look at the shabby building, which apparently had not housed anyone for the past 10 years.

Jiujiu had an urge to cry in the corner, but all she could do now was to curse Mu Yexiao under her breath, hoping that he would never get to eat any supper, ever again.

By right, they were partners, and he should not arrange for her to live in this ramshackle house.

Qian Jiujiu did not even have the courage to enter the house. No. This is not working out. I need to talk to Mu Yexiao. I need to at least get a place that can truly shelter me.

Qian Jiujiu attempted to recall the route she took to come here. Before long, she got lost on the way to find Mu Yexiao.

Qian Jiujiu had a poor sense of direction. She studied her surroundings as she cussed under her breath. "D*mn it, Dong Chen. He is definitely trying to take revenge on me."

"I've already said that I will not take over your spot. Why are you still so bitter?"

In fact, Dong Chen had not left yet. Instead, he was tailing Qian Jiujiu, and owing to his superb sense of hearing overheard all her mutter of dissatisfaction.

However, he remained confused. Why does Qian Jiujiu care about my spot as a guard?

After she was done ranting about Dong Chen, she continued grumbling, "Is anyone here?"

"Where have all the people of Xiao Manor gone? Why haven't I seen anyone till now?"

Initially, Dong Chen could not understand what Qian Jiujiu was doing. She seemed unaware that she had walked up and down the corridor twice, and was planning to walk up the corridor for the third time.

Dong Chen finally grasped the situation, and understood that Qian Jiujiu had a terrible sense of direction. He made a discreet gesture, and a figure in the dark vanished. Before long, a pageboy appeared before Qian Jiujiu.

Qian Jiujiu was relieved to finally meet a man. She grabbed the pageboy and yelled in excitement, "I've finally found a living person!"

The pageboy was evidently taken aback by Qian Jiujiu's action. "I have met Princess Consort before. How can I help Princess Consort?"

Finally realizing how absurd she appeared Qian Jiujiu let out an awkward laugh, and let go of that boy.

"Can you please bring me to the bedroom? I need to talk to His Highness."

"Sure, Princess Consort. Please follow me."

Upon finishing his words, the pageboy led the way. Qian Jiujiu followed closely behind him as they headed for the bridal chamber she was previously at.
