"What have you found?"
"Nothing of much worth, Princess... We lack time and resources to dig deeper."
"Useless!" she spat out angrily as she glared at her old servant with eyes filled with immense dissatisfaction.
"So if This Princess understands correctly, you were not only unable to find information regarding those assassins, but you also failed to find out more about that annoying woman and where this new prince heir of Lei Palace came from?"
"This servant is incompetent..."
Angered, Ning Yan Mei could barely hold herself back and the urge to throw the tea cup she was using filled her.
Closing her eyes, she took a deep, calming breath and once again regained her composure. Once she opened her eyes, her emotions were under control and gone was the enraged young lady and a gentle fairy remained.
"Never mind it then. This Princess will inform Father Emperor of this instead... Who knows, it may prove useful so just continue paying attention but don't force it..."
"This servant understands..."
Placing down the now empty tea cup, Ning Yan Mei let her thoughts wander, she knew that today was the last day she'll be spending here in Thunder Cale Country. Thinking about this, she couldn't help but frown.
If it wasn't for that sudden attack during the imperial banquet then she would have undoubtedly chosen to stay here longer and if her safety wasn't compromised then she had no plans of leaving until she's accomplished her goals.
As it stands now, the task her imperial father entrusted her to befriend and get close to the Fan Family and forge good relations with them is not only left unfinished but is in a worse state than before!
She wasn't stupid. She knew that the Fan Family didn't like her and at first, she was confused by the sudden change of treatment towards her, after all, when she first visited their home and had dinner with them, although they weren't particularly close, they still weren't as cold and alienated as their most recent encounters.
Especially Fan Li Jie!
Thinking about his recent cold and distant treatment towards her made Ning Yan Mei feel aggrieved. Before she thought that she still had a chance to get close to him and she could improve her image in front of him as long as she brushes up her sense of existence but who knew that her request to have him be a part of the group sent by the Thunder Vale Country to escorts her back will be thoroughly denied!
Just thinking about this made her already sour mood darken even more.
What she didn't realize is that the reason her request was denied was simply because almost everyone in the Fan Family could see through her impure schemes towards their eldest young master so of course they'll have their guard up against her!
Without another word, Ning Yan Mei dismissed all the servants there and headed back inside her room to rest, after all, she is going back to Spirit Valor Country tomorrow morning.
On the other hand, Fan Yong Rui who's part of Ning Yan Mei's escorts is busy with a whole other thing.
"Second Brother, are you sure you should be drinking right now?" Fan Zhu Xia asked with a smirk as she looked at the young man who was sitting across from her, drinking cup after cup of wine.
