Mrs. Cui returned to the capital with great difficulty, and she would never return to that remote village no matter what. She knew very well that it would be no good for the woman to find her, but now she really needs a chance to settle down.

Mrs. Cui stood up, patted the dust on her body lightly, and came to a remote house through the woman.

After entering the room, the woman ordered someone to prepare meals for her. Mrs. Cui was sitting on a chair. Even though her clothes were ragged and her face was covered with the vicissitudes of living and sleeping in the open, the noble spirit on her body made her Even though she was in such a state of embarrassment, it was still impossible for people to ignore the noble aura on her body.

Shen Fanglan looked at her with a faint smile on her face.

"What the hell are you looking for?"

Mrs. Cui asked in a deep voice, as if she wanted to negotiate with Shen Fanglan.

"Don't worry, old lady. I'll arrange for someone to familiarize you with the attire and wash off your tiredness. We'll talk about it after you eat some food and feel better."

Shen Fanglan waved her hand to signal the servant girl to take Mrs. Cui to wash up, and then a servant girl came forward, helping the old lady to take a bath and change clothes.

Mrs. Cui hadn't enjoyed such a comfortable service for a long time. She closed her eyes, leaned on the tub, and let the servant girl dress her up familiarly.

The maids' eyes were full of disgust, and they looked at Mrs. Cui as if they were looking at a piece of rotten and smelly meat.

Mrs. Cui's body smelled indescribably, it smelled very bad, and the servant girl felt that she had reached the limit of her patience.

Half an hour later, the maids took a bath for Mrs. Cui, changed her into clean clothes, and helped her to the room where Shen Fanglan was.

Mrs. Cui looked at Shen Fanglan sitting in the main seat, her nobility was self-evident, and she felt a little ashamed and humble.

"Do it." Shen Fanglan signaled Mrs. Cui to sit down, and the two sat across the table. Shen Fanglan looked at Mrs. Cui's new look, her eyes were full of thinness, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.

"Miss Shen, what do you want to do with the old man?" Mrs. Cui asked in a deep voice, and Shen Fanglan smiled lightly.

"Old madam, you have suffered a lot in your hometown. You and I have to see each other today. It can be seen that Princess Jing didn't care about her family and took you in. If you just stayed here, it would be considered a safe place."

Shen Fanglan did not reveal her purpose, but spoke to Mrs. Liu in a gentle manner. Her words were full of politeness, which made Mrs. Cui feel tears in her eyes. She wanted to take refuge in Cui Yuexi, but was rejected Cui Yuexi ruthlessly refused.

Mrs. Cui was annoyed in her heart, but due to her status, she couldn't do anything to Cui Yuexi at all. Even if she wasn't afraid of Cui Yuexi, she was afraid of Li Jing. Even if she was full of anger, she could only restrain herself to avoid being retaliated by Li Jing.

"Ms. Shen, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. I remember the kindness of the girl's rescue today."

Old Mrs. Cui's eyes were full of seriousness, if it wasn't for Shen Fanglan's help, she really wouldn't know what to do, now all she has left is a certain amount of money thrown to her by her deadly enemy.

After that incident, she was also very conflicted, should she pick up the money, if she picked it up, it would be tantamount to accepting alms from her deadly enemy, if she didn't pick it up, she wouldn't even get her next meal.

In the end, reality defeated dignity, so she still picked up the set money and kept it in her bosom for emergencies. Unexpectedly, Shen Fanglan would arrange a place for her to live.

This place is very hidden and the environment is very good. Although it is not as good as the former Anlehou Mansion, it is already a very good place for Mrs. Cui today.

It is much better for her to eat and drink here, and have someone to serve her, than to sleep outside.

"Have a good rest."

Shen Fanglan didn't say anything, told Mrs. Cui to take a good rest, and left.

Mrs. Cui looked at her leaving back, the enthusiasm in her eyes gradually extinguished.

If Shen Fanglan had directly stated her purpose, Mrs. Cui would not be so entangled.

But she chose not to say anything, which made Mrs. Cui very uneasy, for fear that Shen Fanglan was planning a big conspiracy or plotting against her.

But thinking that Shen Fanglan is only a teenage girl, and she has only reached Ji for more than a year, and she, who has lived most of her life, will be tricked by her little girl?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cui's tense mood gradually relaxed, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was thinking too much.

"Maybe Miss Shen is kind and can't bear to see me living on the street."

Mrs. Cui comforted herself in her heart, but she forgot that she and Shen Fanglan were not related, if Shen Fanglan had no scheme, why would she help her?
Is it because she is pitiful that she shows kindness?

Who is such a kind person in the capital city? The people here are philistine and only focus on profit.

Mrs. Cui is really too tired, she is too lazy to think about it, her life is meant to be enjoyed day by day, and other things will be considered later.

She was lying on the bed, and the soft bed made her sigh comfortably. Along the way, she slept in the wilderness, and now that she was able to lie on the bed, she only felt that her soul was very comfortable.

Not long after, Mrs. Cui fell asleep, and Shen Fanglan, who had left, turned around and came back, ordering in a deep voice to the servants guarding the door.

"Keep an eye on her, don't let her run out."

Mrs. Cui still has a lot of uses, so it is natural to provide food and drink, just waiting for the critical moment to play a big role.

the other side

After Cui Yuexi and Li Jing returned to the palace, she couldn't sleep for a long time, thinking of Mrs. Cui gave her a headache.

If she lived in the countryside with peace of mind, Cui Yuexi would not be so upset. She knew Mrs. Cui too well, as long as she had a bad life, no one would think about it.

On weekdays, Mrs. Cui would not disturb her, but now she might be even more troublesome.

When she was in the country, she was robbed of gold and silver treasures, Cui Yuexi could only say that she deserved it, after all, with her madam's show-off character, even if she fled back to her hometown in a desperate situation, people would still see her beautiful side.

The countryside is not the city of Kyoto, the law and order is so good, the life of the common people is not very good, but she returns home in fine clothes, which will naturally arouse the jealousy of those who are interested.

What surprised Cui Yuexi was that Mrs. Cui still had the willpower to come back when she was penniless.

"Okay, don't think about anything, just rest."

Li Jing pulled the quilt to cover Cui Yuexi, and persuaded her softly.

Cui Yuexi nodded, closed her eyes and nestled in Li Jing's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, yawned, and fell asleep not long after.

Li Jing smiled slightly, and after Cui Yuexi fell asleep, she tiptoed up and called Xing Chuan to ask him to arrange someone to judge Mrs. Cui, so as to save her from being uneasy and kind.
