"Yes, Master."
Looking at the ruins ravaged by the fire, Ling'er shook her head. It was a luxurious villa yesterday, but today it has become cannon fodder. However, it has done nothing and is just an innocent victim.
Isn't life often like this villa? It is always implicated by other people's mistakes, or even sacrificed.
Slowly, I walked in and looked around casually. There was nothing left except ruins.
"Forget it, let's go back." Ling'er stopped, turned around and walked back, but before she took two steps, she suddenly felt something hard and irritating under her feet.
Ling'er stopped moving forward, raised her feet, then bent down and squatted.
Smooth fingers pushed away the ashes, revealing a jade token.
"Ling?" Looking at the jade tablet in her hand, Ling'er read out a word. It was engraved with the word "Ling" in ancient patterns. In the lower right corner of the jade tablet, there was a line of small words, which seemed to be a date. However, it was burned black and it was a little unclear. She could only vaguely see "Born in March, Renwu Year".
It looks like this should be a birthday card.
How could there be such a thing in Wuyou Villa
Feng Xian'er said that only Xia Shang had lived in Wuyou Villa, and no outsiders were allowed to enter. In other words, this birthday card could only belong to Xia Shang.
Could it be that this was Shangguan Yunxiao's birthday card? Then why didn't he carry it with Shangguan Yunxiao
In fact, Shangguan Yunxiao was quite happy. No matter what the reason was, she spent her childhood being pampered and loved, and never suffered any grievances.
But Ling'er didn't understand why Shangguan Yunxiao, who had royal blood flowing in his veins, was so arrogant and domineering. The rumors about him were really disappointing.
For the rumor to spread like that, it definitely wasn't groundless.
However, this is totally contrary to common sense.
Ling'er carefully put the birthday card to her waist and left.
This trip was not in vain.
But before he reached the gate of the palace, he was stopped by a loud noise.
"What do you want to do to my young master? Don't be like this. I'll wash the clothes. Don't bully my young master."
"Please, my son is in poor health, please let him go, please..."
"Hmph, you only eat and don't work every day, you think you are the real bosses? The palace provides you with food and shelter, but not only do you not know how to be grateful to the prince, you even don't want to work. Get away from me, you little bitch, and don't get in my way. If your young master doesn't want to wash clothes, that's fine. Just sleep with me. Otherwise, you will be punished sooner or later!" A burly woman stood in front of the two men, with her arms akimbo, looking ferocious and as if she was going to eat them.
A young man in linen clothes, who looked only about sixteen or seventeen years old, stood in front of the young man in blue. Although he was very thin, he was determined not to give way.
Ling'er had met these two men before, the eldest son Lan Ling and his maid Ya'er.
Every time I see them, they are being bullied. Could it be that these two men look easy to bully
Ling'er held her forehead helplessly and shook her head. Although she didn't want to care about Shangguan Yunxiao's backyard, this was one of the reasons why she didn't want to come back and was anxious to leave. However, this damn sense of justice was clamoring, help them quickly, help them quickly!
Helplessly, Ling'er could only change her route and walked to a place that looked like a laundry shop.
"What happened?" The ethereal voice was different from the rough voice of the Phoenix girl, but it was still majestic.
When Yaer saw the prince coming, she immediately stood up and kowtowed in Ling'er's direction. She kept saying, "Prince, please save my son. He is weak and can't stand this. Prince, please, please. No matter what it is, Yaer is willing to do it for my son. Please let him go..."
The woman named Xiao just now, after hearing Ling'er's voice, immediately knelt down and was very respectful. There was no trace of her previous arrogance left.
"Your servant pays homage to His Majesty. May His Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
As for Lan Ling, he still had that indifferent look on his face. After seeing Ling'er, he had no expression at all, let alone kneeling down to salute.
After the last time, she understood Lan Ling's temper. He was also a miserable person, so let him do whatever he wanted.
"Your name is Yaer, right?" Ling'er ignored the woman and spoke to Yaer in a gentle tone.
"Yes, yes, I am Ya'er, the young master's servant." Hearing the prince actually calling him by his name, Ya'er was excited. He was so noble that the prince could still remember his name. This really surprised him.
After hearing Ling'er's words, the kneeling woman suddenly had a very ominous premonition in her heart.
Lan Ling was the eldest son of the prince's backyard. In terms of status, he was much more powerful than a servant like her. The reason why she dared to be so presumptuous and bully this man was because this man was ignorant of the general situation and had been making the prince angry since he came to the palace. Therefore, the prince did not care about his affairs.
So now, what is going on? Why would the prince speak to that little servant in that tone? Could it be that the prince's taste has changed and he has fallen for that little servant again
If that's the case, then she's in trouble.
Ling'er had already sensed the panic of the woman in charge, but she did not say anything. Instead, she continued to ask, "Ya'er, tell me what happened? Why are you and your young master here?"
In fact, the most painful punishment is sometimes not physical torture, but mental torture. If a person's mind is in extreme tension and fear for a long time, it is more cruel than any other punishment. Even if she is timid, it will make her mentally collapse and fall into a state of madness.
So, Ling'er did it on purpose. She ignored the housekeeper on purpose and let the housekeeper listen. (To be continued)
