Chapter 198
Xin Yi didn't know why Meng Ning told herself these things. She didn't want to know too much about the jealousy in the palace, so she smiled and didn't respond.

Meng Ning made fun of her, glanced at her, and suddenly raised her voice a little bit, looking sour.

"Look at my broken mouth, hey, what are you doing talking to the little lady? Now the little lady has won the favor of the county king and the prince, maybe one day she will become a master. The taste of being disgusted by people?"

Xin Yi's heart skipped a beat.

It's all right to say that she pleases the county king, but "getting the favor" is a terrible thing.

Could it be that the "newcomer" she was referring to was herself?

The noble concubine Zhang treated her indifferently today, and this grand maid specially made irresponsible remarks in front of her, thinking...she was favored by the emperor?

Xin Yi's spine felt cold, and he was shocked.

Zhao Zhen rewarded her with money, silk and a house, and she took it as a reward for curing Concubine Zhang, fulfilling the promise of a big reward, and for Fu Jiuqu's sake.

But Concubine Zhang Gui and her confidantes, and even the Zhang family, might not think so?

Are they blaming Zhao Zhen for inexplicably neglecting her?
"The little lady must be very proud, right?" Meng Ning suddenly leaned over her head and looked at her maliciously, "You really have a lot of tricks."

Xin Yi stared into Meng Ning's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then reluctantly explained.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank the noble concubine. If the officials didn't value her, how could they give me a big reward for curing the noble concubine's illness?"

She bowed her body, turned around and left.

After going out, she suddenly felt that this matter was not only because of this...

Leaving Huining Hall, when the other maids and servants saw her, their expressions were a little strange.

She left the palace with doubts, led her stupid donkey, and walked slowly to the pharmacy.

A tall bay red horse galloped by, frightening her jackass to jump up and run forward.

Xin Yi quickly grabbed it.

Thanks to her strength, otherwise she would have to be pulled down by the donkey.

"Are you stupid? He is a noble horse, and he doesn't bother to compete with a stupid donkey like you who can run faster." Xin Yi patted the donkey's head and was comforting it when he suddenly heard the sound of hooves.

The horse is back again.

The slow horse gait carries a heavy strength.

Xin Yi looked up, and saw Junjun Jingzhao in men's clothing with slightly swaying sleeves.

Gao Miao is tall and tall, with a bit of heroic spirit, and his appearance on horseback is even more dignified and arrogant.If you don't know her, I'm afraid you will really think that she is a young son of some family.

"The woman has met the Junjun." Xin Yi saluted her.

Gao Miao looked at her from top to bottom, until Xin Yi's scalp was numb, and then he heard a cold snort.

"You are proud of yourself."

Another one said she was proud.

What happened to her?
Xin Yi couldn't laugh or cry, "I thought the Jun Jun missed me, but I didn't expect that he came to blame me."

Just now she was respectful and obedient to her, but in a blink of an eye she looked frivolous. Sure enough, all the gentleness of this woman is just pretending, and this bad appearance is her nature.

Gao Miao looked at her intently and snorted coldly.

"The Cao family and the eldest princess' mansion have terminated their engagement."

Xin Yi was startled, not too surprised.

Because she did remember that there was no official match in the Guangling County King's profile, and the only saying "don't hug the pipa" didn't seem to be referring to Cao Yilan either.

But it makes no sense for Gao Miao to blame her for this incident.

"The Junjun didn't ask Miss Cao why she wanted to retire, but came to ask me an outsider?"

"Outsider? If you hadn't stabbed someone horizontally, used sex to win the favor of the county king, how could you have forced Lan'er to such a point?" Gao Miao sneered, and the horse's hooves got closer and closer, making Xin Yi's stupid donkey pacing uneasily .

Xin Yi understood the stupid donkey's inferiority complex because it was not as tall and handsome as the horse, stroked its head, held the rein tightly, and looked at Gao Miao.

"Thank you Junjun for affirming my appearance. You are the first to praise me for my good looks. If Miss Cao wants to put this account on my head, then I have nothing to say, but Junjun Jingzhao... ...as if I never offended you?"

Gao Miao snorted coldly, "Didn't you offend me?"

Xin Yi froze for a moment, then laughed.

"The Junjun still remembers the old things in his heart. Okay, what do you want?"

Her disapproving laugh made Gao Miao feel depressed, but there was nothing he could do.

"Don't think that with the King of Guangling County protecting you, you can do whatever you want. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. The tricks and scheming you played will be revealed to others sooner or later. The King of Guangling County will see your true face sooner or later, hum !"

Gao Miao clamped the horse's belly with her legs and walked away.

Xin Yi narrowed his eyes, stroking the restless donkey, and didn't speak for a long time.

……

Cao's house.

Cao Yilan was fined to kneel for two days.

When Gao Miao entered, she was wearing a thin tunic, with her hair loose, kneeling softly in front of the eldest lady, her upper body almost lying on the ground, motionless, as if she had passed away.

"Laner?"

Gao Miao called her.

Cao Yilan didn't say anything.

Gao Miao looked up at the eldest lady Feng, "Grandmother? What's the matter?"

Feng closed her eyes and let out a long sigh, and stood up with the support of her mother-in-law.

"This evil account, if it weren't for the fact that her parents left early and had no control since she was a child, I really wanted to beat her to death. It's embarrassing...Hmph!"

Gao Miao looked at her in surprise, and then at Cao Yilan.

She came here only when she heard about Cao Yilan and the Duke of Guangling's breaking off their engagement. She thought that the Cao family had to make such a decision because of the coercion of the Duke of Guangling. After all, Cao Yilan's obsession over the years was Marrying Fu Jiuqu, if it was not a last resort, how could she be willing to resign?
But now, according to Feng's meaning, it doesn't seem to be the case?

Gao Miao asked anxiously: "Grandmother, what's going on? I'm dying of anxiety..."

"Ask this evil account yourself."

Feng turned her head, as if she didn't want to look at Cao Yilan any more, shook the handkerchief, and led the girl away.

"Lan'er?" Gao Miao bent down to help Cao Yilan.

It was only then that she realized that her eyes were black and swollen, her lips were dry and peeled, and her face was so haggard that it made people feel distressed.

"Cousin...you are here to save me..."

Seeing her like this, Gao Miao immediately became angry, and his eyes burned with flames.

"Are they bullying others and forcing you to divorce? It's unreasonable! I'm going to the palace to find my aunt and explain it to you. How can there be such a bully?"

"No..." Cao Yilan shook her head, slumped on the ground weakly, her voice was weak and miserable, "It's none of other people's business, it's my insistence on retiring the engagement."

Gao Miao looked at her in astonishment for a moment, dragged her up and placed her in the soft chair, and put a sash on her body, then lightly moved, supported her on her shoulder, and asked softly.

"Tell me, what is it for?"

Cao Yilan lowered her head, her teeth chattered as soon as she spoke.

"I... have an affair with Master Cai Xiaohou."
