章 25: Chapter 25: Raising an Army to Redress Wrongs

After returning to the Prince Residence, Chu Nanli had just reached the courtyard entrance when she noticed something was amiss.

It was just as messy as when she had left.

Weeds were untouched, brooms were tossed aside, and some were even sitting inside chatting, with bursts of laughter floating out.

Chu Nanli's expression darkened slightly as she walked in.

"Princess Consort?" someone noticed her return, their face transitioning from relaxed to tense as they quickly picked up a broom from the ground, holding it awkwardly and smiling, "We just took a little break from the tiring work."

The others also heard the commotion, stopped chatting, stopped sleeping, and one by one picked up nearby tools and pretended to work.

Chu Nanli laughed in irritation.
