After rebirth, the down-and-out concubine married the cold prince

Chapter 18

Seeing Ling'er so anxious, Liu Piaopiao felt more and more heavy in her heart.She trembled her lips and heard her voice tremble into a line.

"What is the eldest lady looking for from me?"

Ling'er shook her head: "I don't know either, fifth girl, you should go back quickly, if you make Da Furen wait in a hurry, I don't know how to punish you."

Liu Piaopiao swallowed her saliva, calmed down a bit before asking, "Is father at home?"

Ling'er still shook her head: "Master went to Mr. Yang's residence yesterday, but he hasn't come back yet."

Liu Piaopiao turned to look at the counter, He Zhi was still busy and didn't know what happened here.It's just that Liu Piaopiao's complexion is not good, and she also becomes anxious.Liu Piaopiao shook her head at her, and only said: "I'll go home, you take care of the shop."

She was about to follow Ling'er when she saw Chang Qing running up.This time he took a break, he had promised to come to hold Liu Piaopiao, but when he got there, he saw Liu Piaopiao in a hurry.Clutching a girl's hand, she rushed towards Liu's mansion like the wind.When I met myself, I just pointed to the wine shop.There was a smile on his face, but it didn't look so real.

"Guard Chang, I've already prepared the wine, and it's at Hezhi. I still have something to do, and I'm running out of treats."

Seeing her in such a hurry, she is really in a hurry.Chang Qing couldn't help admiring Liu Piaopiao, who was so anxious that he could still find time to talk to him.Lo and behold, the wind is blowing on my legs.

When he got to the counter, He Zhi was also full of anxiety.Seeing Chang Qing, he took out the lotus seed wine that Liu Piaopiao specially ordered to leave for the other party from the wine cabinet.

"Chang Weiwei, this is specially prepared for you. The new product, lotus seed wine, I heard it is very refreshing."

Chang Qing saw that He Zhi was grinning, but her eyebrows drooped.Seeing the half-smiling, half-crying, half-crying look makes Chang Qing's heart shudder.

He waved his hand: "Stop laughing, it's weird."

He Zhi stopped smiling, and Chang Qing put her elbows on the counter.He picked up the small snacks on the plate, he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and his stomach really couldn't bear it.

Chang Qing asked while chewing the pastry: "Why did your lady go, so anxious?"

He Zhi stamped her feet, her eyebrows furrowed in worry.

"I don't know either. The girl Ling'er came and called her away. She didn't say anything, but told me to watch the shop. I'm really anxious."

Chang Qing snorted: "If there's anything you can't help, you can't help."

Hearing this, He Zhi was a little speechless, and rolled his eyes at Chang Qing: "It's just that if I can't help me, the girl will still be punished."

Chang Qing gave a thumbs up: "Loyal servant."

He gritted his teeth: "Why else. You girls were seen in the East Palace yesterday. Didn't you say that the princess is probably the third lady? Can she not be angry, and ask the fifth girl to ask her to blame."

He Zhi felt like he had found his backbone: "Then what should I do?"

Now it was Chang Qing's turn to roll her eyes, "What else can I do. Go find Your Highness."

After Chang Qing finished speaking, he swallowed all the cakes on the table.Only when he has food in his stomach can he have strength to work, otherwise he would not want to serve the prince while he is resting.He Zhi handed over a glass of water in time, and waited for Chang Qing to quench his thirst before urging him: "Guard Chang, can we go?"

Chang Qing wiped her mouth and said, "Let's go."

In fact, he didn't dare to be negligent. After all, that person said that he wanted to marry Liu Piaopiao. Although he didn't know when the letter of engagement would come out, Liu Piaopiao seemed to be half the master.

He moved closer to He Zhi: "I will secretly tell you a secret."

He Zhi whispered to him, "What?"

"His Royal Highness likes you girls very much."

He Zhi's eyes widened, "What does this mean?"

Seeing her stupid appearance, Chang Qing found it ridiculous, and couldn't help humming.

"Don't you understand? It's just that your girl has to be a Liangdi at the very first time. If you are lucky enough, it's not impossible to be a princess."

He Zhi was startled, and lowered his head: "You can't talk nonsense."

"Whoever said nonsense, His Highness said it himself."

He Zhi stopped talking, her heart was in a state of turmoil.On the one hand, I am happy for Liu Piaopiao.If he is really taken by the prince, then after all these years, he will finally make it through.On the one hand, he was worried that it was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, whether Liu Piaopiao could resist it.She took a deep look at Chang Qing, "I hope so."

As soon as Liu Piaopiao entered the inner hall, she slapped Liu Yufu across the face.The beating made her brain buzz.Before she could react, Liu Yufu kicked again, which happened to land on Liu Piaopiao's knee, her legs softened and she fell to the ground.Even so, Liu Piaopiao did not dare to cry.She got up and knelt upright, looked straight at Liu Qian and asked, "I don't know what mistake my daughter made."

Seeing her like this, Liu Yufu jumped up angrily.Pulling Liu Qian's sleeve and crying.

"Mother, look at how she doesn't know what's wrong, she's so shameless!"

Liu Qian held Liu Yufu steady and patted the back of her hand to comfort her.Then he looked at Liu Piaopiao and said sharply: "What did you do and you didn't recruit yourself, do you have to tell me in person?"

Liu Piaopiao bit to death not knowing what mistake she had made, Liu Yufu couldn't beat her when she saw her so angry.He rushed forward and pushed Liu Piaopiao to the ground.

"Lang hoof, seduce the crown prince. Do you know that my father has already said that the crown prince is mine!"

Liu Piaopiao was pushed and shoved by her, and the hairpin on her head fell off.Her hair was disheveled, which made Liu Qian flustered.She looked very much like her mother who died long ago. Seeing this, Liu Qian couldn't help snorting coldly: "It was carved out of the same mold as your mother, and she is used to seduce people."

Liu Piaopiao's tears rolled in her eyes, she said she was just fine, what did she do to tease her mother.She had never seen her mother in her life, not even a portrait.

"My mother didn't seduce anyone."

Liu Piaopiao retorted with a low voice.Liu Qian didn't hear clearly, neither did Liu Yufu.Only Liu Wenlan heard it clearly.

She walked up to Liu Piaopiao and squatted down, took out a handkerchief to support Liu Piaopiao's hand.During the somersault just now, Liu Piaopiao's hands scratched the ground.At this moment, blood was oozing, and Liu Wenlan's veil was painful to the touch.

But her actions really warmed Liu Piaopiao's heart, so she shook her head and said, "It's okay, Second Sister, I don't feel any pain."

Liu Wenlan wiped Liu Piaopiao's hands carefully, seeming to comfort her patiently.

"Don't hide it. What's going on between you and the prince? You also know your mother's temper. If you don't tell her, she won't let you go."

Liu Wenlan frowned seemingly worried, and blocked the possibility of Liu Piaopiao lying with one sentence.

"The servants have all seen that you have entered the East Palace. It took almost an hour to come out." Liu Wenlan raised her voice, His Highness is handsome and handsome, it is understandable that you admire him.You can tell your father to ask him to find a good way out for you.How can you give and receive in private, lose face of the Liu family, and lose your own innocence. "

This is too serious, Liu Piaopiao turned pale all of a sudden, and just shook his head: "I am not, Your Highness and I have nothing for nothing!"

"Then what are you doing in the East Palace?"

"I" Liu Piaopiao was speechless.

Liu Wenlan's handkerchief was rubbed heavily on her palm, causing Liu Piaopiao to tremble in pain.Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Liu Piaopiao stood up with Hongyu's support and walked in front of Liu Qian.She shook her head, as if she couldn't bear to look at Liu Piaopiao again, she just said: "If father knows, he will definitely blame mother for not teaching my sister well."

Liu Yufu choked: "She is shameless herself, what does she care about mother?"

"That being said." Liu Wenlan said worriedly, "If the prince really has something to do with Piao Piao, what should you do?"

Hearing this, Liu Yufu's eyes turned red.As soon as Liu Piaopiao got up, she was kicked to the ground, Liu Yufu took the cup and tea cup on the table and threw it on Liu Piaopiao.There was still hot water in the cup, which made Liu Piaopiao's exposed skin turn red.

Liu Yufu scolded while beating: "You shameless little rascal, seduce Your Highness, I'll beat you to death!"

Liu Piaopiao couldn't bear it anymore, and retorted: "What kind of crime have I committed? Is your marriage with the prince a final decision? Could it be that the letter of appointment was issued without any movement?"

"You!" Liu Yufu's eyes widened, "You dare to talk back when you have grown up!"

"Mother, she is so naughty, do you still want to let her go? Even if my Highness and I haven't been hired yet, can you go to an outsider's door for no reason!"

Liu Piaopiao protected herself, she simply stopped kneeling and stood up facing Liu Yufu.Feeling oppressed suddenly, Liu Yufu couldn't breathe for a moment.

"You are talking nonsense without evidence, I posted a greeting card!"

"That's all right," Liu Wenlan said, "You admit it, after all, what is the purpose of going to the East Palace?"

Liu Piaopiao sneered: "Can't you go if you have nothing to do? If you have any doubts, please ask your Highness to come and confront."

It turns out that Liu Piaopiao is no longer a quail, and Liu Wenlan is still smiling, it seems.Among their sisters, Liu Piaopiao is the most cunning one, and she hooked up with the prince without making a fuss.

Liu Wenlan pondered for a moment and called out Liu Yufu who was in a rage, "Okay, Yufu, Piao Piao is right, the matter between you and the prince is nothing but a word."

Liu Yufu looked at Liu Qian with teary eyes: "Mother."

The latter could only comfort her: "It's okay, the Queen Mother said that the Crown Princess must belong to our family. Who else can it be except you?"

At this moment, Liu Wenlan suddenly wanted to ask Liu Qian, if she wasn't her daughter, why should Liu Yufu's have any benefits?It's a pity that she didn't say anything in the end, she was not in good health, and getting angry hurts the most.So she just reminded Liu Qian lightly.

"This matter is about the face of the two families. It's better for my mother to ask clearly. It doesn't matter if our family becomes a joke. If the royal family becomes a joke, it will be a big deal."

"It's still Wen Lan who is thoughtful." Liu Qian praised, and ordered the two female relatives to enter the house, "It's about the royal face. Don't be careless. You have to say what you say today, or you have to say it if you don't say it."

Two servant girls moved into a long stool, and Liu Piaopiao lay on the stool.The maids stood up one by one, holding a one-inch-thick board in their hands, and hit Liu Piaopiao's body alternately.

Liu Wenlan couldn't bear to see such a scene of howling ghosts and howling wolves. Seeing Liu Piaopiao almost gritted her teeth, she couldn't bear to watch it any longer.I wanted to go back to the house, but the front hall suddenly reported that the prince came to the door.Liu Wenlan stopped and simply looked at it for a while.

When the prince came to the door, Liu Qian dared to use lynching, so she quickly put him down.If so, Liu Piaopiao also suffered ten boards.Linlin was in a cold sweat from the pain, panting heavily as if she had been fished out of the water.

Seeing the prince enter the door, her calm and self-possessed brows and eyes were stained with a thin layer of anger.The voice was very low, hiding an overwhelming displeasure.

"What kind of dirty thing is Gu? You will be punished like this just for inviting the fifth girl to drink tea. Is Mrs. Gu looking down on Gu?"

Liu Qian was caught off guard by a series of questions, and she bowed down in fear.

"The slaves dare not."

Lu Ji's cold eyes swept over him, and he didn't speak, but just hummed lightly, which was enough for the whole room to ponder.

He Zhi hurriedly helped Liu Piaopiao up, and saw that her forehead was red and her hand was broken.It was because of the board that I couldn't stand up, and I was so distressed that I shed tears.
"As long as I'm by my side, I can't let the girl suffer like this!"

Liu Piaopiao smiled at her, stood up with difficulty and saluted Lu Ji.

"Your Highness."

Lu Ji approached her, and the clear scent of snow willow penetrated into his heart, making Liu Piaopiao's chaotic mind suddenly clear.She heard Lu Ji's low voice, with an imperceptible distress. ,
"Does it hurt?"

Liu Piaopiao shook her head: "Your Highness is not in the way, I just let you run for a while."

"I had something to do with my uncle."

Liu Piaopiao groaned, it turns out that Lu Ji is also quite good at lying.

The man walked to the main seat and sat down firmly.

"Aren't you all curious about what the fifth girl did in the East Palace, so I will tell you carefully."

With tears still hanging on Liu Yufu's face, she raised her head pitifully and called out, "Cousin."

Lu Ji didn't look at her, just said: "Yufu is still a bit savage."

Frightened by one sentence, Liu Yufu lowered her head and bit her lip, not daring to say anything more.On the contrary, Liu Wenlan was neither humble nor overbearing, she carried the teapot and poured tea for Lu Ji, with a neither humble nor overbearing smile.

"Piao Piao is a girl after all. If you don't ask about this kind of thing, it will damage her innocence. If gossip spreads in the future, others will say that we have no way to teach girls, and it will also hinder His Highness's dignity."

"Then what should we do? If it weren't for my aunt who has no way to manage the house, the fifth girl wouldn't come to visit."

Liu Wenlan couldn't hold back her smile, "What's going on?"

She turned her head, and saw Ling'er appearing with Su Xiao, who was sick and weak.Only one dose of medicine was used, although it got better, Su Xiao's complexion was still not very good.

At this time, she bowed one by one, then knelt down and cried.

"It's all my fault. If Miss Wu didn't take pity on me, I wouldn't be running around because of my illness."

Liu Qian looked at her haggard daughter-in-law, wondering when Su Xiao hooked up with Liu Piaopiao.

Seeing that the prince came to uphold justice, Liu Piaopiao and Su Xiao cried together.

Anyway, it's better to lose face than clean up.

"It's because I see my sister-in-law's illness is always bad, and those quack doctors on the street can't see their reputation, so they make their own decisions."

Su Xiao cried even more sadly, and a veil was wet after a while.

"It's all my fault. I didn't dare to bother my mother, but I made the fifth girl bother. The fifth girl found a famous artist for me, and exchanged all her savings for a second painting. Knowing that His Highness likes to collect poems, calligraphy and paintings, she got a snow lotus in exchange for it." Heal my illness. How would you know that the fifth girl has been beaten for no reason? If I had known this, I might as well die of illness!"
