The Queen of England was grateful for the help, and the King of England was also in the wrong, so the matter was just passed so simply. This was Mr. Xiao's idea.
Prince Qi Lie thought about it and agreed, so he sent someone to summon his sister. This matter still fell on Princess Qia's shoulders.
Princess Qia was very busy, even though she was injured. She was preparing for something, something that would make Liu Lanxin look good.
She is the princess of Northern Frontier and has always been high and mighty. But this time, she was tricked by Liu Lanxin. The person most likely to assassinate her this time is Liu Lanxin. How could she be someone who would swallow her anger
The person she sent out brought her an unexpected surprise, which made her even more excited. She had to give Princess Jing Liu Lanxin a good punch...
Zhou Jinruo was very panicked. How come Princess Ying became the daughter of Duke Yu and had nothing to do with the Qu family
She had previously thought that she would marry into the Qu family and marry Qu Minghui, and that even if she did some things too much, the Princess of England would not really do anything to her. But now the Princess of England is the Princess of England, and the Qu family is the Qu family, and the two are no longer related, and she will never be the Princess of England's sister-in-law.
In the past, the Qu family could still borrow the affairs of the Princess of England, but now they find that there is no relationship between the two. Not to mention other people, even the few young ladies who used to be on good terms with Zhou Jinruo now look at Zhou Jinruo with a hint of sarcasm. It is obvious that the Qu family has fallen into decline.
In the past, there was a minister and a princess of England in the Qu Mansion, but now there is nothing.
At the beginning, some people envied Zhou Jinruo for marrying into a wealthy family. She was also very proud of herself. A large part of the reason why she chose Qu Minghui was because of her uncle Qu Zhizhen, who seemed to have a promising future.
Qu Zhizhen's reputation is not good now. Although he is still a minister, it may be difficult for him to be promoted in the future. It would be good if he is not demoted.
Not only that, the Crown Princess couldn't be contacted either.
Zhou Jinruo was at a loss, and tried to pass a note to Prince Ying's Mansion, but no one came to him. He was only told that Princess Ying was not feeling well and could not see anyone. He also politely hinted that it would be better for people from the Qu Mansion to have less contact with them in the future. No matter whether they were women from the East or West Mansion, they should not come if there was nothing important.
After that, he mentioned the ointment again, saying that there was something wrong with the ointment, and asked again if Zhou Jinruo's people knew about it in advance? Although it was not the Princess of England who got into trouble in the end, it was the Princess of England who took over at the time. He also said that this matter must be investigated thoroughly, and when the Princess of England is a little better, he will send someone to investigate.
When Zhou Jinruo heard this, she felt ashamed, angry, and a little scared.
This was indeed the only loophole at the time, but she was also the future sister-in-law of the British princess. Even if something happened, it was impossible for them to really break up. She just had to say she didn't know.
But what about now? Maybe the Princess of England is looking for something to do, after all, she has been badly hurt during this period of time, and this incident may be a pretext. The Princess of England is preparing to break up with the Qu family, and she is the instigator? Zhou Jinruo became more and more panicked as she thought about it. Now she was waiting for news.
"Miss, the person is back!"
The person did come back.
A maid came in hurriedly: "Miss, I didn't see Madam Liu, but I saw the people around Madam Liu."
Unable to find the Crown Princess, he could only look for her mother, Madam Liu, and ask her to help contact the Crown Princess. It was the Crown Princess's idea in the first place, but now she can't handle it alone.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Jinruo asked anxiously.
"Madam Liu's people told you not to worry, saying that you don't have to be afraid of this matter, and that the Princess of England won't do anything to you." The old woman said, reaching out and taking out a letter from her bosom, "This is what Madam Liu asked the young lady to pass on."
"What is that?" Zhou Jinruo was startled and stepped back, as if the letter in front of him was some kind of monster.
"This is the letter that Madam Liu asked Miss to deliver to the Northern Frontier Mission to Prince Qilie," said the old woman.
"Why... why do you want me to deliver it?" Zhou Jinruo turned pale with fear. What does the Qilie Prince of Northern Frontier mean? Why did he give her the letter
Zhou Jinruo immediately knew that this was a hot potato. She couldn't even handle her own affairs, so how could she dare to accept such a letter at this time? The envoys from the northern border had just encountered an accident, and the entire capital was under martial law because of it. What did Madam Liu want to do
"That person was in a hurry at the time. He said he had to go do something for Madam Liu and couldn't get away for the moment, so he asked me to hand the letter to Miss, who then secretly delivered it."
"I can't give it to you. Send it back." Zhou Jinruo said sternly.
"Miss... But Madam Liu's people insisted that you go." The old woman didn't expect her young lady to react so strongly, and she panicked. She thought it was not a big deal at the time, just delivering a message.
"I won't send it off. You have to take it back. You have to take it back now." Zhou Jinruo shook his hands and said anxiously.
“Miss, Madam Liu’s people said… said…” the old woman stammered.
"say what?"
"If you don't help deliver it, some of the things that happened between you and the Crown Princess... might be known to Master Qu."
The old woman stammered.
Zhou Jinruo's face turned cold, and he slapped the old woman on the face: "What... did you say?"
The old woman fell to the ground, trembling with fear. She really didn't think it was a big deal at first. The last sentence was whispered in her ear by a servant from the Liu Mansion. She had not intended to tell it to her young lady, but she didn't expect that the young lady was unwilling to deliver such a letter, so she said this.
Now she was even more panicked and frightened: "Miss... these words were said by someone from the Liu Mansion, not by me."
"Did you really say that?" Zhou Jinruo took a deep breath.
"She really said that. I heard it clearly. I... I thought it was not a big deal." The old woman cried.
After getting the confirmed answer, Zhou Jinruo leaned back and sat down weakly, losing his usual dignified demeanor for a moment.
The old woman was so frightened that she dared not make any sound even to cry, and only whimpered softly.
"Did you really say that?" It took a long time before Zhou Jinruo's voice was heard.
“Yes… that’s what he said.”
Should this letter be sent or not? Zhou Jinruo was upset. She was sensitive that something was wrong. Something was wrong with Madam Liu.
Zhou Jinruo had heard that the Liu Mansion was involved with Northern Frontier from time to time. She originally thought it was just an accident, maybe because of the Crown Princess. Now that she thought about it, she felt that it might not be the case. Why did Madam Liu send a letter to the prince of Northern Frontier? Was this letter written by Madam Liu or someone else
Zhou Jinruo didn't dare to think further.
But I have to think about it.
The person she had interacted with in the past was Liu Jingyu, and with her status, she could not establish a relationship with Madam Liu. That is, under the guidance of Liu Jingyu, she bowed to Madam Liu from a distance, and nothing else happened.
This time when I went to the Liu Mansion, I also asked Madam Liu for help. I didn't expect that not only would I fail to get help, but I would also get into such a disaster.
Yes, this is a disaster, and it is a disaster that Zhou Jinruo cannot solve.
But now it is not her decision whether to send it or not. Madam Liu threatens her with what she did before to help the Crown Princess.
He pinched and rubbed the handkerchief in his hand again and again, and the expression on his face became gloomy.
"Miss..." the old woman said timidly.
"You get up first and tell me the whole story." Zhou Jinruo finally came back to his senses and said.
The old woman got up in a hurry, and this time she didn't dare to hide anything.
"Miss, what should we do with this letter?" the old woman said after reading it.
Zhou Jinruo took the letter and examined it carefully. The letter was sealed and stamped, which showed that it was intended to prevent outsiders from viewing it.
Madam Liu and Beijiang, Beijiang and Madam Liu.
Zhou Jinruo really didn't dare to accept the letter, but the letter was extremely hot in her hands.
The only thing that was not the worst was that the letter was at least sealed. There were some things she didn't want to know and didn't want to know.
Zhou Jinruo is actually a cautious person. Even when she helped Liu Jingyu to plot against Mo Ying, she was extremely careful. She would rather be careful than let anything go wrong.
She wanted to cling to Liu Jingyu's wealth, but she didn't intend to be tied to the prince's mansion. After all, no one knew how the fight between the prince and King Jing would end.
Even if she secretly stood on the side of the Crown Princess, she couldn't let anyone know.
But Madam Liu... is so abominable...
"Miss, what should we do?" the old woman continued to ask.
"Send it out, send someone to deliver it secretly, find someone who doesn't know about it... and give him money to deliver it." Zhou Jinruo gritted her teeth and said, she couldn't keep the letter in her hands.
I just hope what Mrs. Liu said is not a big deal.
"Yes, I will do it now." The old woman wiped her eyes and nodded.
"Be careful, it's better to turn a few corners and don't let anyone find you." Zhou Jinruo reminded again that she would do it, but she must not bring trouble to herself.
The old woman obeyed the order and retreated, and went to find someone she didn't know, preferably a passerby, and gave him money to secretly deliver the letter.
After the old woman left, Zhou Jinruo frowned again. She hadn't finished her previous problems yet, and now she had new ones to deal with. What should she do
After sitting there blankly for a long time, Zhou Jinruo finally made up his mind.
"Someone, go and ask Young Master Qu to come over." She couldn't just surrender like that.
Qu Minghui arrived quite quickly. When he heard that it was Zhou Jinruo who invited him, he immediately put down what he was doing and went to Zhou's house.
The two were about to get married, so it was okay for them to talk a little at this time, and the elders in the Zhou mansion did not hold them back.
"Young Master." Seeing Qu Minghui coming in, Zhou Jinruo's tears immediately turned red. She stood up as if to greet him, but finally stopped.
I felt like crying.
"What happened?" Qu Minghui knew something was wrong as soon as he saw her expression and asked hurriedly.
"I... I seem to have done something wrong. I didn't know it before, but I just discovered it." Zhou Jinruo's tears fell.
Seeing the woman he loved crying, Qu Minghui panicked and asked repeatedly: "What's the matter? What did you do wrong? Tell me and we can make it up together."
