Chapter 10

"Wait a minute—"

Jiang Yu patted Lan Xin's hand to signal her to rest assured, but she stopped Qing'er loudly.

Sure enough, Qing'er stopped, turned her head to look, as if seeing someone other than Mrs. Qiao for the first time, and reluctantly saluted.

"Greetings to the two ladies."

Luo Guiren couldn't hold back, and said first: "Even if this girl Xiaohuan made a mistake, you shouldn't beat her like this! Beating her like this is going to kill her!"

puff!

Qing'er covered her mouth and smiled.

"This empress is not from our palace. The affairs of Qixia Palace are handled by the people in the palace. The servants are originally from the empress Qiongfei's side, and they are sent to serve on Empress Xu, but it is not good for any palace servants in this Qixia Palace Yes, even the elders, including slaves and maidservants, beat or scolded, and Concubine Qiong agreed."

Seeing that she moved out of Concubine Qiong, Luo Guiren was at a loss for words.

Concubine Qiong is the highest-ranking concubine in the palace except for the noble concubine, and the noble concubine doesn't care too much, so more than half of the affairs in the palace are controlled by Concubine Qiong.

If she wants to beat and scold a palace man, she doesn't need to ask anyone for instructions.

Even if he was killed, it was just a matter of paying some money.

With Qing'er holding the banner of Concubine Qiong, it is natural that there will be no disadvantages.

"Then what if Xiaohuan didn't steal the jade pendant?" Jiang Yu asked slowly in a clear voice.

Qing'er's eyes turned to Jiang Yu.

Her eyes were not as contemptuous as she had shown Luo Guiren just now, subconsciously, she felt that the new show girl in front of her had an extraordinary bearing.

"If Xiaohuan didn't steal it, where is the jade pendant now?" Qing'er patted her palm with the cane.

"What if I can find the jade pendant? Will it prove that the jade pendant was not stolen by Xiaohuan and sold outside the palace?"

Qing'er's eyes widened suddenly, she stared at Jiang Yu for a long time, then laughed again.

"Who is this--"

"This is Mrs. Jiang!" Lan Xin answered first.

"Jiang Guiren." Qing'er laughed, "You are a god, so you can still find the jade pendant that was stolen by this dead girl?"

"It doesn't matter whether I am a god or not, I just ask you, what if I can find it?" Jiang Yu asked lightly.

Qing'er looked at her suspiciously, and finally replied firmly: "If I can find it, I will of course serve tea to Miss Xiaohuan to admit my mistake."

"It's fine to serve tea and admit your mistake. You hit her so many times, why don't you let her hit you back, not too many, just three hits."

"Okay!" Qing'er was very confident, and smiled slightly: "Then what if I can't find it? Why don't I let the maid beat you three times?"

A trace of anger welled up in Jiang Yu's chest.

Xiaohuan had been listening to them all the time, and when she heard this, she struggled to get up: "If you can't find it, I'm willing to replace Jiang Guiren, Sister Qing, you can hit me thirty times and count it as my atonement."

Jiang Yu wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly felt that there was no need to say anything. If the jade pendant could not be found by then, she would also protect the girl.

"Haha! Then it's settled! Then Jiang Guiren, can you tell me where the jade pendant is?"

"In..." Jiang Yu was about to say that she was in the well, when she caught Qing'er's eyes from the corner of her eyes, she suddenly became alert.

She changed her words: "I'll take you to find it now."

Qing'er couldn't help laughing: "Jiang Guiren really thinks he is a half-immortal! Why don't you ask Jiang Guiren to calculate, what is the fate of slaves?"

Luo Guiren spoke before Jiang Yu: "Jiang Guiren's fortune-telling is accurate, wait a minute, I must scare you to death!"
