After three years of slavery, the entire mansion begged me for forgiveness

The words 'brother's last wish before his death' obviously stunned the emperor.

Seeing that the emperor was actually considering the feasibility of this matter, Qiao Nian panicked, but before she could speak, Xiao Heng already bowed and stepped forward, "Absolutely not, Miss Qiao is only engaged to His Highness Prince Ming. If I send you off as a widow, I may attract criticism. "

The most important thing is that if Qiao Nian really claims to be a widow, then according to Jingguo's customs, she cannot remarry for three years.

After hearing Xiao Heng's words, the emperor nodded, "What you said makes sense, Shu Yuan. Don't make random suggestions. If you cause criticism, it will damage the royal family's face."

Hearing this, Shu Yuan stuck out his tongue and leaned on the emperor's shoulder to act coquettishly, "Shu Yuan just said it casually!"

The emperor only has a daughter, Princess Shu Yuan, so naturally he would not blame her, but instead patted the back of Shu Yuan's hand with great affection.

But he had never seen Princess Shu Yuan's eyes full of hatred when she looked at Qiao Nian.

She just heard her say in a cold voice, "But...even if I can't see her off as a widow, Miss Qiao's life was at least saved by the imperial brother. It's not too much to wear mourning and support her to see her off, right?"

It was obvious that Princess Shu Yuan had made up her mind to let Qiao Nian suffer this fate in front of the people.

The queen then spoke, "Concubine De Gui only has a son, Prince Ming, and now that Prince Ming has left to save Miss Qiao, it is appropriate for Miss Qiao to give Prince Ming a ride. In this way, Concubine De Gui will feel better."

Hearing this, the emperor actually nodded, "Then it's settled, Qi'er's funeral will be held tomorrow, and Miss Qiao will follow Shu Yuan's instructions to see him off!"

According to what Shu Yuan said, you have to wear hemp and wear filial piety.

Qiao Nian felt very stuffed in her heart, but the people in front of her were all in high positions and she couldn't offend any of them. What's more, the emperor's words were an imperial edict, so she naturally couldn't disobey him.

At that moment, he bowed and said, "Daughter of the people, I obey."

The emperor said that he still had something to discuss with Xiao Heng, so he took Xiao Heng away.

And Princess Shuyuan also followed the queen.

Qiao Nian sighed and burned the remaining paper money before leaving.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into Princess Shu Yuan again on the way.

Seeing that person walking towards her arrogantly, Qiao Nian felt a trace of anger in her heart.

However, he still had to bow politely and said, "I have met Her Highness the Princess."

Princess Shu Yuan looked at Qiao Nian's head and couldn't help but laugh, "I thought it would fly up a branch and become a phoenix, but who would have thought it was just a dead branch and it broke instantly. Miss Qiao, how do you feel about wasting all your efforts?"

Qiao Nian frowned slightly and raised her eyes to look at Princess Shu Yuan, "I don't know when the daughter of the people offended Her Highness the Princess. Please make it clear."

She didn't understand why Princess Shu Yuan wanted to target herself.

If it was for Xiao Heng, shouldn't Princess Shu Yuan be targeting Lin Yuan?

Seeing Qiao Nian's appearance, Princess Shu Yuan snorted coldly, raised her hand and stepped back, then walked around Qiao Nian.

"Qiao Nian, there is no one here right now, so you don't have to play dumb with me. It was you who teased me first."

Qiao Nian took a deep breath before speaking, "A common girl can't understand what the princess means."

"Don't you understand?" Princess Shu Yuan smiled coldly, "Okay, then I will give you some hints. That sky silk dress."

Qiao Nian was stunned, "That sky silk dress was indeed ordered by General Xiao."

Qiao Nian had read the order book, and hadn't Princess Shu Yuan also seen it with her own eyes?

But unexpectedly, Princess Shu Yuan suddenly kicked Qiao Nian, "Are you still pretending to be stupid with me? What did you say before? You said that dress was for Lin Yuan, or maybe it was for me. But you have to pick it off cleanly! You clearly want to use this princess’s hand to deal with Lin Yuan and kill someone with a borrowed knife!”

Qiao Nian admitted that she did want Princess Shu Yuan to deal with Lin Yuan, but not to the point of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

What's more, that dress has nothing to do with her!

Qiao Nian frowned and said, "The tailor shop has been returned to Concubine De."

"But that dress belongs to you!" Princess Shu Yuan shouted angrily, "I sent someone to check it out on the second day! That dress was ordered by Xiao Heng according to your size!"

Qiao Nian was stunned.

That is a dress made of silkworm silk. It is a dress that you may not be able to get even in three to five years...

Xiao Heng, gave it to her?

Seeing Qiao Nian's stunned look, Princess Shu Yuan felt angry and immediately yelled, "Stop being so pretentious here! Qiao Nian, since you already know that Xiao Heng is the person that this princess likes, then You should know better and stay away!"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian immediately kowtowed to Princess Shu Yuan and said, "Princess, please calm down. If that skirt is really given by General Xiao to a common girl, then there is only one possibility, and that is to apologize!"

Princess Shu Yuan couldn't help but be a little confused, "Apologise?"

Qiao Nian nodded, "It's to apologize for what happened three years ago."

Three years ago, he watched her being wronged, but stood aside without saying a word.

Now, maybe she feels guilty?

So I took that expensive dress to apologize!

Princess Shu Yuan didn't know that Qiao Nian was wronged, but she knew that Xiao Heng stood aside and didn't even say a word of mercy.

But later, Xiao Heng clearly...

Princess Shu Yuan looked at Qiao Nian and couldn't help but ask, "You don't know?"

Qiao Nian didn't understand what Princess Shu Yuan meant by asking, and couldn't help asking, "Don't know what?"

I really don’t know!

Princess Shu Yuan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. The anger on her face was no longer, but she showed a bit of joy, "It's nothing. It's good that you don't know about some things."

After saying that, she couldn't help but look at Qiao Nian again, "So, what is your attitude towards Xiao Heng now?"

Qiao Nian responded truthfully, "General Xiao is engaged to Miss Lin, and the daughter of the people has no attitude towards him."

In fact, there is.

Just as far away as possible.

But Princess Shu Yuan would definitely not believe it.

After all, if she were to look at her past fifteen years as an outsider, she would definitely not believe what she said.

In the past, Qiao Nian wanted to hang on to Xiao Heng. How could he stay as far away as he wanted?

Princess Shu Yuan was obviously satisfied with Qiao Nian's answer, but her tone was still displeased, "Then I hope Miss Qiao will do what she says, but don't say this to me and then stick to General Xiao." !”

"People's girls don't dare." Qiao Nian responded in a deep voice, and suddenly asked, "But General Xiao is engaged to Miss Lin, what should the princess do?"

Princess Shu Yuan was stunned, and her eyebrows suddenly knitted together.

In fact, she had also thought about dealing with Lin Yuan, but since what happened three years ago, the Hou Mansion had protected Lin Yuan and never let Lin Yuan enter the palace again. She could not find any chance. arrive.

Thinking of this, Princess Shu Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "Of course I have a way, but I need your help, Miss Qiao."
