Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1573 - 1562: The Steward

After a while, the servant asked suspiciously, "Did Your Highness notice anything?"The Princess stared intently at Ning Fan's face and smiled lightly, "Xu Ruolan indeed found a good talent. Although Ning Fan is young, he is calm and composed, quite sophisticated in terms of state of mind."

After speaking, the Princess shook her head and said, "He doesn't know about this matter and has nothing to do with it."

The servant nodded affirmatively to this conclusion.

He knew that the Princess had achievements in psychology and micro-expressions, which put her at the top tier of the current world.

She could easily gauge a person's psychological state through facial expressions.

That's why a camera was specifically installed in the car to observe Ning Fan's words and actions along the way.

If Ning Fan had a guilty conscience, it would surely not escape the Princess's eyes.

"Then how should we handle this person?"

"Since he is uninformed, I'm afraid we won't be able to glean much useful information from him. Then…"

The Princess pondered for a moment and then said, "Let him go back."

The servant whispered, "This doesn't seem very appropriate. After all, he is already on his way, letting him go back like this might damage Royalty's reputation."

The Princess spoke indifferently, "True. Then just leave him to the side for a while and send him away later."

"I understand."

It was then the servant hesitantly said, "If the Xu Corporation is uninformed, then Miss Rose's matter…"

"Seven days! If I can't figure out the truth within these seven days or if she does not wake up, then this matter will be formally disclosed."

The Princess's eyes turned cold, muttering to herself, "Xu Ruolan, this is also your last deadline. This Princess promises to do my best, but in the end, it all depends on fate."

Upon hearing these words, the servant nodded without expression.

Someone must take the fall for Rose's situation.

No matter if the Xu Corporation was responsible or not, when the time comes, the Tai Kingdom Royalty will openly denounce them.

"Your Highness is too merciful."

In the servant's mind, it should be disclosed immediately to minimize the negative influence on Royalty.

"How is Rose now?"

"Still in a coma, yet her physiological indices are all normal. The cause of illness is still undetected."

The Princess sighed, "How could she inexplicably fall ill, yet the pathological mechanism can't be identified?"

Seeing the servant's hesitant face, the Princess frowned, "You've been with me for so many years, you should know my temper very well. Do you think you can deceive me?"

The servant immediately knelt down and said, "I wouldn't dare."

"Stand up and speak."

"The head monk at Golden Ray Monastery mentioned before that Miss Rose is possessed by evil, losing the balance of Yin and Yang, hence being in a coma."

"Hah. The same old superstitious nonsense."

The Princess snorted coldly, "Don't mention them in front of me in the future, and keep them away from Rose."

"Abiding by Your Highness's instructions."

The old servant's eyes flashed a trace of helplessness.

The Princess reveres scientific truth and has always disliked such feudal superstitions.

"If they could truly cure Rose's illness, this Princess would be willing to retract my prejudice. But they are nothing but vain charlatans, merely deceiving the masses for incense money."

Hearing this, the old servant was speechless.

The truth was exactly that, the monks spoke of the cause eloquently, but when saving people, they shirked saying their cultivation was insufficient.

...

As time passed and the scenery became more desolate, Ning Fan was slightly impatient.

"It's impossible they're taking me for target practice, right."

The wicked thought flashed across his mind as Ning Fan realized the Jeep was changing direction.

After navigating a rugged gravel path, an enormous estate filled with bird songs and fragrant flowers appeared before Ning Fan.

"This is the sleeping quarters of the Princess. Please be mindful of your conduct."

Upon hearing this rigid reminder, Ning Fan couldn't help but retort, "Should I first take a bath, change clothes, light incense and pray?"

This remark clearly labeled Ning Fan as an uncouth country bumpkin likely to behave inappropriately, disturbing the sanctity of the quarters.

"Humph. Even in Ancient Sky City, they weren't this arrogant."

Ning Fan's mind was filled with sardonic laughter.

In terms of Royal opulence, Ancient Sky City was leagues beyond the Tai Kingdom Royalty.

But just being inside the barrier boosted the level dramatically.

After parking the car in the estate, Ning Fan was "escorted" to a living room by two men.

"Mr. Ning, the security here is tight, please don't wander around, to avoid any misunderstandings."

After speaking, the two left coolly, seemingly unconcerned about Ning Fan roaming around.

This estate, though not like a military camp with constant guards,

on major routes and the estate's high points, there were soldiers armed to the teeth.

Seeing this sight, ordinary people wouldn't dare to move around.

"Why bother with these people, the quicker this matter finishes, the sooner I can leave."

Ning Fan smiled lightly, poured himself a cup of tea. Since no one was hospitable, he decided to fend for himself.

It wasn't long before an elderly man in a gray robe appeared, "Sir, I'm the steward here, this is your accommodation. For any requests, feel free to contact me."

Receiving the call device handed by the old man, seeing him turn to leave, Ning Fan quickly said, "Wait a moment."

The old man frowned slightly, "Mr. Ning, is there anything else?"

"Are all Royal people this arrogant?"

Noticing the disdain in the elder's eyes, Ning Fan said displeasedly, "I don't have the leisure to stay here. Aren't you supposed to ask me questions? Hurry up so I can leave."

"Whatever it is, speak tomorrow."

Throwing down a sentence, the elder turned to leave.

"This old man is truly arrogant."

Ning Fan laughed angrily but held back his anger.

In the suite, though there's no internet, it had everything needed for eating, drinking, and entertainment.

Soon, Ning Fan noticed that his phone had no signal.

"Mr. Ning, do you need anything from me?"

Seeing the elder's slightly angry expression, Ning Fan, feeling secretly pleased, lazily said, "There's no signal here."

"For Her Highness's safety, the signal here is entirely blocked. If there's nothing urgent, it's best for Mr. Ning not to communicate externally."

Listening to the elder's emphasis on "urgent", Ning Fan learned from him, accentuating the word, "But I have urgent matters to discuss with my company."

"Hmph!"

The elder snorted, leading the way.

Arriving at another room, the elder said stiffly, "This is the communication room."

Looking at the antique phone from the last century in front of him, Ning Fan couldn't help but chuckle, "Never thought Royalty still uses landlines."

"Country bumpkin. What do you know! This is Royal style."

The elder was secretly displeased, Ning Fan's crude manners had already left a poor impression on him.

The elder now regretted not following the Princess's orders to send this young man away earlier.

The elder disliked Ning Fan, as did Ning Fan towards the elder.
