After being kicked out of the prince's mansion, he suffered from morning sickness, and the rege

"Because she is a trapped beast now and wants to take your back."

"Why is this? This approach is clearly harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself." Qian Xue was puzzled.

"There's no reason. She doesn't have much time left now, and Jingyuan doesn't need her anymore. She has no way out and no hope."

Jing Yu's eyes fell on Qian Xue's face, "You and she have not dealt with each other for so many years. She is now in such a state of poverty and pain, but you are now on a smooth road. Isn't it normal for her to be unwilling to be angry and want to drag you to be buried with you?"

Qian Xue felt her heart getting angry for a while following Jing Yu's words.

Although she and Yanran had quarreled from time to time over the years, they were all minor conflicts, how could they escalate to such a life-threatening situation.

"This man... is becoming more and more unreasonable."

Qian Xue murmured in a low voice, unable to feel any sympathy for Yan Ran's death.

"Didn't you sneak out? Aren't you going back?" Jing Yu's words brought Qian Xue back to her thoughts.

Qianxue looked at Jing Yu timidly, "Master, do you...don't mind?"

"It's not a big deal, and I didn't say I wanted to trap you. Besides, you should go to accompany Liuli. I remember that Zhao sent people to my courtyard in the past few days."

Qian Xue nodded shyly.

"Since I'm going with someone, it's not good to leave early. Go back as soon as possible."

Qianxue bowed gratefully and left the room.

Jing Yu then threw away the book in his hand and couldn't help but laugh at himself, "I really indulged her. If I really stopped her from going, I'm afraid she would lose her temper again."

It was only then that Jing Yu suddenly realized something. Qianxue didn't come to apologize for yesterday's incident, so he just handed it to him on the steps to forgive him for today's incident.

Jing Yu clicked his tongue angrily.

Mrs. Zhao didn't care if Qianxue sneaked away. After everyone around her went down to have dinner, she grabbed Jingyuan and started to give instructions again.

"This Yanran has always been clever and lovable in our courtyard, and has a strong temper. She should be able to help you succeed in the Marquis Mansion."

Jing Yan's expression was a little cold, and he looked at Zhao with a faint smile.

"She is capable, but she is too heartbroken."

Mrs. Zhao felt unhappy when she heard this. Her daughter was the eldest concubine of the Hou Mansion. Naturally, she couldn't devote all her attention to the women in the backyard. The only way to work hard to win favors was to socialize with other nobles, find out information, and build relationships. of.

She sent Yanran away just in the hope that she could help Jingyuan hook her son-in-law so that she could help Jingyuan stabilize the backyard. Who would have thought that she would send her by mistake.

Jing Yu sighed softly when he saw that Zhao's face was a little depressed.

"Mom, you have to believe in my methods. What I need is a beautiful and obedient concubine who can hook the prince with her body and follow my orders. That's why I wanted Qianxue in the first place."

"Yanran is smarter and sweeter than Qianxue, and she learns things quickly, but she has too many ideas. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many women in the prince's backyard, she wouldn't be able to tell the winner for a while, and her thoughts would probably be on me. ”

Jing Yan's expression turned completely cold, her nails dug into the edge of the table, and she seemed to have great anger hidden in her heart.

After hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Zhao couldn't think of letting Yanran follow Jingyao anymore. She quickly thought about how to bring out Yanran's final value.

"Yanran is dead anyway, let her die with some value." Zhao's smile was sinister, and the resentment in her eyes flowed like venom.

"Qianxue is turning her back on her now. It's time for her to be taught a lesson."

After Qianxue came out of Jingyu's courtyard, she rushed back to Zhao's courtyard like a gust of wind.

Liuli was holding her chopsticks and looking towards the door of the room from time to time. Seeing that Qianxue was finally back, she was relieved. "You came back pretty quickly. Madam hasn't sent anyone here yet, so she probably won't find out."

Qian Xue couldn't help but reveal a relaxed smile when she heard this.

She is definitely not close to Mrs. Zhao now, and they are even a bit difficult to deal with due to Jing Yu. However, this does not mean that she will be so stupid that she can make Mr. Zhao angry at will.

Qianxue took a deep breath and ate something in small bites. It was only at this moment that Liuli continued to ask: "Is the matter resolved?"

Qianxue stopped using her chopsticks and whispered to Liuli about Yanran and Jingyu's rumor-mongering.

Liuli frowned when she heard this, "This Yanran, even if I bullied you before, why do I still want to slander you in this kind of thing? Isn't this because I want your life!"

Qianxue curled her lips helplessly, "I was a little sad when I first knew that she might not have much time left. Now... I really can't pity her anymore."

"You've always been a soft-hearted person. She's acting like this, it's simply retribution, and you pity her!"

Liuli cursed in Qianxue's ear, sincerely feeling sorry for Qianxue.

At this moment, Aunt Zhao appeared in the room.

The two immediately fell silent and just lowered their heads to look at the bowls. Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhao walked directly to the two of them.

Seeing that pretending to be dead didn't work, the two of them immediately stood up and saluted Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao said with a smile: "After dinner, you two will go back to your husbands. Although Madam misses you, she can't make it difficult for you."

They both thanked Zhao.

"Speaking of which, Yanran, who has grown up with you since childhood, has returned home today. Don't you want to meet her?"

Liuli and Qianxue looked at each other, stepped forward with a smile and said, "I heard that Yanran is following the Crown Prince and is very popular in the Marquis' Mansion. I'm afraid she doesn't want to see us."

Aunt Zhao raised her brows lightly, "I'm afraid she's... not very good."

Liuli pretended to be surprised, "Isn't she liked by the Crown Prince? Why is it bad?"

"What else could be the reason? As a slave, her biggest mistake is to violate the taboos of her masters."

Qianxue and Liuli didn't dare to say anything anymore, but Aunt Zhao didn't leave, she just looked at them quietly.

When they saw Nanny Zhao's posture, they didn't understand anything. She was afraid that Mrs. Zhao insisted on letting them go see Yanran.

Liuli could only force out an awkward smile, "It's all because we grew up together. She's not doing well now. We should go take a look."

Only then did Aunt Zhao smile again and lead the way directly from the front.

Qianxue and Liuli could only lower their heads and follow behind, feeling a sense of panic in their hearts.

As Aunt Zhao took them farther and farther west, there were more and more shady places, and the environment, which was not considered warm to begin with, became a few degrees cooler.

Qian Xue felt goosebumps all over her body, and she couldn't help but leaned towards Liuli again.

It wasn't until a few people reached the door of a small room that Nanny Zhao stopped.

She raised her hand to signal Liuli and Qianxue to go in, but the smell of blood in the wind prevented Qianxue from having the courage to open the door in front of her.

Aunt Zhao didn't give the two of them any hesitation and pushed the general through the door.
