All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

The round-faced maid uttered a scream, clutching her abdomen and rolling on the ground in pain.

It can be seen that this kick was not light.

Shen Lingxi looked sideways, and it was none other than Xu Ziyao who did it.

Seeing Shen Lingxi looking over, Xu Ziyao smiled and blinked at her.

"Xu Ziyao, you are meddling again."

When Mu Xue'e saw her servant girl being beaten, she was furious, and she saw that Shen Lingxi was also there, "Okay, and you are a magic stick to seduce His Highness, the county lord hasn't settled with you yet, how dare you run away?" Go wild on the land of the county lord, and see how the county lord teaches you. Come, let the county lord catch them both."

As soon as the words fell, four servant girls immediately surrounded her.

Shen Lingxi raised her eyebrows.

Although she doesn't cause trouble, she won't be afraid of trouble, but these few maids really can't handle her.

Xu Ziyao has been wielding knives and guns since she was a child, and grew up in the border all year round, so she is not afraid.

The two sides are about to fight——
Seeing this, Aunt Liu felt that the matter was tricky, she hurriedly stopped in front of Shen Lingxi and Xu Ziyao, and said to Mu Xue'e: "The county lord, this is the palace, and the empress has specially ordered it not to cause trouble, have you forgotten? This place is very close to the palace of the empress and the emperor, if the emperor is alarmed, wouldn't the county magistrate want to die?"

As she spoke, she still did not forget to wink with Mu Xue'e.

Although Mu Xue'e was angry, she still had scruples about Aunt Liu's identity, and when she saw the round-faced maid who had been kicked just now, she shook her head desperately, so she temporarily suppressed her anger, "Forget it, the county lord looks In the face of the emperor's uncle and the queen's aunt, I don't care about you. You two are willing to protect this vixen, which shows that you are not a good person. Hmph, when I leave the palace in the future, I will look good with you."

Putting these words down severely, he turned around and left with the noble girls and maids around him.

In just a short while, many noble ladies from Yuxiu Palace had already surrounded outside, seeing her coming out of the house, they all dispersed like birds and beasts.

Shen Lingxi and Xu Ziyao looked at each other, and stepped forward to help a pair of master and servant on the ground.

Li Yuejiao's injuries were all in an inconspicuous place and were covered by her clothes. Although she couldn't see the injuries, she could tell from her walking that the injuries should not be serious.

"Thank you two girls." Li Yuejiao thanked them weakly.

Shen Lingxi took out a bottle of ointment from her sleeve pocket, and handed it to her, "This is an ointment prepared by Pindao. Applying it to the wound may relieve it."

Li Yuejiao reached out to take it, and thanked Shen Lingxi gratefully.

The little maid at the side burst into tears, crying like tears.

Aunt Liu sent Mu Xue'e away, called two maidservants, and ordered "serve Miss Li carefully", and then said to Shen Lingxi and Xu Ziyao: "It's getting late, you two girls, please rest early, tomorrow morning We still have to set off to go to the imperial mausoleum."

Seeing that Li Yuejiao was fine, Shen Lingxi and Xu Ziyao followed Aunt Liu out of the room.

After they left, two maids sent by Aunt Liu helped the little maid to put Li Yuejiao on the bed. Li Yuejiao asked the little maid to politely send the two maids out on the excuse that she wanted to rest.

When there were only the master and servant left in the room, the little maid picked up the bottle of ointment left by Shen Lingxi, and asked hesitantly, "Girl, do you dare to use this medicine?"

Li Yuejiao smiled weakly at her, "Since Daoist Miaoling has helped out, there is no need to plot against people like us. The things she gave are naturally good, so just use them."

Hearing this, the little servant girl stepped forward and lifted the hem of her clothes, revealing the red and swollen scars on her back.

"Girl, it's all your fault on the maidservant. If the maidservant is more careful, she won't be seen by County Lord Bingqing and make you suffer such innocent disasters..." The little maidservant gently rubbed the ointment on Li Yuejiao's scar while crying.

The cool ointment relieved the burning pain on Li Yuejiao's back a lot. She soothed her brows and eyes, "It's okay, compared to losing your life, this little injury is nothing."

"But..." She frowned when she thought of something, "With Mu Xue'e's temperament, she will definitely not let it go."

The little maid trembled, "Then, what should I do?"

Li Yuejiao frowned, "There is no other way, I can only see what I can do, and bring the hairpin in my makeup box."

The little maid turned pale with fright, hurriedly walked to the dressing table, took out an exquisitely crafted silver lotus hairpin from the makeup box, and handed it to Li Yuejiao.

Li Yuejiao took off the paper covering the tail of the hairpin, revealing the extremely sharp tip of the tail.

This was something she had honed in the mansion before she went out this time, even compared to a good dagger, it is not bad.

She took out a pack of medicinal powder from her bosom, and handed it to the little maid, "Find a cup, mix this medicinal powder with water, soak this hairpin in it for an hour, and bring it to me."

The little maid guessed what she was going to do, wiped away her tears, and nodded heavily.

Mu Xue'e returned to the main hall, thinking of the appearance of Shen Lingxi and Xu Ziyao just now, her face flushed red with anger.

"It's just a lowly man who grew up in a coffin shop. How can he sit next to his cousin at the banquet and dare to disobey the county magistrate?"

"Xu Ziyao, a savage slut, has been in trouble with me since she was a child, and now she dares to disrespect the county lord in front of so many people."

"Li Yuejiao is the most disgusting bitch, she is rushing to hook up with her cousin, and even pretends to be weak. No one knows that she is a concubine's lowly maid, how can she marry her cousin, the name of the county lord... Putting it together with her is an insult to the county lord."

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and she directly waved the teacup on the table with a "crash", sweeping it to the ground.

The noble ladies and servant girls who followed her back to the main hall were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath.

The round-faced servant girl supported her kicked waist, and winked at the noble girls and maids, telling them to go out.

Then, he walked up to Mu Xue'e and said in a low voice: "The county magistrate, don't get angry with them. If you get angry, you are not worth it. You are the most important candidate for the empress dowager and empress dowager. You will marry me in the future." Your Highness, it's not too late to deal with them."

It's okay if she doesn't mention it, but Mu Xue'e will be even more angry if she mentions it.

"At the banquet today, you also saw that Shen Lingxi was about to sit in her cousin's arms! Xu Ziyao actually followed them to the Zhaode Hall because of her brother's friendship with His Highness... and Li Yuejiao, If Eunuch Zhu hadn't stopped me outside the study, she would have thrown herself into her cousin's arms! They all wanted to rob me of my cousin, and even joined hands to bully me!"

The round-faced servant girl's eyes flickered slightly, and she thought about it: "If the county master is really angry, the servant girl has a way to solve them once and for all, so that the three of them will never be able to embarrass you again."

Mu Xue'e looked at her suspiciously, "What way?"

"This servant has a cousin who is on duty in the inner guard of the palace. Tonight is not as good as..."

She leaned closer to Mu Xue'e's ear, her voice gradually became inaudible...
