As soon as Yu Qingluo saw Aunt Xiao, she started to feel embarrassed. She quickly retracted her hand to hold Ye Xiudu, coughed slightly, corrected her attitude, and walked forward with small steps like a lady.
Aunt Xiao walked to her side, looked at Ye Xiu who was beside her and said, "Princess, there is a girl outside who wants to see the princess for something."
"What girl?"
"She said her name was Qiulan, and she was originally the girl who took care of the young master in the Yu Mansion. She said that today the princess agreed to let her work in the palace." At this point, Aunt Xiao became a little dissatisfied, "Princess, this How can anyone enter Prince Xiu's Mansion? Even though she used to take care of Master Bao'er, she has been imprisoned for so many years and she has never done anything to take care of him. How can the princess be so careless with such a person?"
The corners of Yu Qingluo's mouth twitched fiercely. She was wronged, wasn't she? This was clearly the result of the lunatic Third Prince's request.
No, the third prince had never agreed to the conditions for her to learn how to work in the palace. What Qiulan said at the beginning was to leave Yufu. As for where to go and what to do after leaving, it was not within her responsibility.
This Qiulan is also a master who only talks nonsense. How could she stay with such a person
"Mammy, please let that Qiulan in."
Aunt Xiao's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, "Princess, do you really want that Qiulan to work in the palace?" As she spoke, her eyes drifted towards Ye Xiudu's body. The princess hasn't become Princess Xiu yet, so if she just stuffs people into her like this, will the prince be unhappy
Ye Xiu alone didn't care. He believed in Yu Qingluo. If she agreed to bring people into the house, there would be no problem. Just like Jin Liuli, Yuexin, Xiao Xiao and Hongye.
"Okay, you make the decision on this matter. I'll go to the study and you can talk slowly."
"Yes." Yu Qingluo nodded, then turned and went to the front hall.
In order to prevent Nanny Xiao's stern eyes from being fixed on her, Yu Qingluo coughed lightly, but still felt the need to speak clearly.
It just so happened that I took the opportunity to recount the situation at that time.
The more Aunt Xiao listened, the more ugly her face became. At the end, she snorted coldly and said in a cold voice, "It seems that this Qiulan is also restless. Letting such a person into the palace will probably only It’s not beneficial to gossip and follow the trend.”
"Uh-huh." Yu Qingluo said that she agreed. It was a rare occasion that she and Aunt Xiao had the same opinions and were so in sync with each other.
The two of them entered the front hall together, where Qiulan was already standing there, staring at the carved jade railings in front of her with admiration, how magnificent it was.
The greed and joy in her eyes were very obvious. Even the palace maid waiting in the front hall could not help but frown, as if she didn't like her very much.
Aunt Xiao glanced at her coldly and coughed suddenly.
Hearing the sound, Qiulan's body trembled suddenly. When she turned around and saw Yu Qingluo, she knelt down with a "pop" sound.
"Big or small...ah, I have seen the princess."
She changed her tune very quickly, and it seemed that she really wanted to climb the big tree called Yuqingluo.
Yu Qingluo passed her and walked to the main seat. The maid immediately brought a cup of tea and handed it to her.
Qiulan, who was kneeling below, raised her eyes slightly, with a flattering smile on her face.
Yu Qingluo took a closer look and found that there were blood stains on her forehead and the bridge of her nose, as if she had been beaten.
Raising her eyebrows, she asked as if she didn't know, "Your injury..."
When she asked this question, Qiulan's face instantly flashed with sadness, her shoulders shrugged, as if she was about to cry, "Princess, this... this was done by the madam and the second lady."
Yu Qingluo already knew this. Before Li Ze left, he also took Qiulan away as a witness. I'm afraid that when Li Ze was interrogating, Chen Jixin and Yu Qingrou got angry and dealt cruelly to Qiulan.
"So how are Mrs. Yu and Second Miss doing now?" Yu Qingluo knew what Qiulan wanted to express, but she just didn't get what he wanted and carelessly changed the subject.
Qiulan was a little anxious, but if Yu Qingluo asked, she had to answer.
"Returning to the princess, the madam and the second young lady are unwilling to admit that they framed the princess, let alone the crime of killing the deceased madam. Although the evidence is conclusive, they killed someone who framed them. Now Mr. Li has asked someone to Detain them in a cell and retry them at another date.”
Refuse to admit it? It's right to think about it, no matter how stupid they are, they know that they must not confess at this juncture. In this way, there is still a life left for people to save.
But this Li Ze is really a good person. From what Qiulan said, he probably never touched the mother and daughter. It's not like Ye Chip, who beats people up first and then talks about it.
"Princess." Qiulan saw that she didn't speak, and the grievance on her face became more intense. Her emotions seemed to reach a peak, and she burst into tears in an instant, "I'm afraid Madam and Second Miss already hate me. Look at me. I was injured. If the officers and soldiers hadn't stopped me at that time, I would have been strangled to death by them. Princess, I have no place to stay in the Jade Mansion, and I don't know where to go. I beg the princess to make the decision for my slave. "
Yu Qingluo took a shallow sip of tea, and the cold snort of Grandma Xiao could be heard very clearly in her ears.
She smiled, put down the tea cup and asked, "How do you want me to make the decision for you?"
"If the princess doesn't dislike you, please keep this slave by your side. I am grateful and willing to work as a cow or a horse to repay the princess."
Aunt Xiao snorted again, "There is no shortage of people around the princess."
Qiulan's face was stiff for a moment, but she quickly calmed down again. "Princess… "
"Miss." Before Qiulan could speak, two figures suddenly ran in angrily from outside.
Yuexin pursed her lips and hurriedly entered the hall.
But when she saw the unkind look on Aunt Xiao's face, she was suddenly startled, stopped in her tracks, and moved slowly and timidly through the door.
Mo Xian behind her paused and then walked in.
Aunt Xiao's face darkened, "Yue Xin, what do you look like? How can you be so unruly and without rules here?"
Yue Xin stuck out her tongue, walked behind Yu Qingluo with some fear, and softly apologized, "Mother Xiao, I was wrong."
"Sister Yuexin." Qiulan, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head in surprise. There were still tears on her face, looking pitiful.
Yuexin was stunned for a moment, staring at Qiulan for a long time, and then suddenly woke up, "Are you... Qiulan? Why are you here?"
Yu Qingluo glanced sideways at Yue Xin, as if she didn't intend to let the two of them reminisce about the past, and interrupted directly, "Yue Xin, why did you come in in a hurry?"
"...Miss, I heard from Miss Jin that you plan to let me go back to the Yu family to take care of the young master."
"you are not willing?"
"No, of course not. I am willing, but...it's just that Mo Xian said he wanted to go with us."
Qiulan's eyes lit up. Aunt Xiao just said that there is no shortage of people around the princess, but when Yue Xin went to Yufu, wouldn't there be a shortage
