On this day, Qianqiu claimed to have heard that Yu Panxi had been depressed recently, so he pretended to be kind enough to come to visit, and brought a beautiful slave maid, and said with a smile: "Qianqiu knows that in the eyes of the princess, no one is as smart as Brother Liu when he was alive, but this slave and maid are carefully trained by Qianqiu for a few days before he dares to send it to the princess. ”

Yu Panxi's indifferent eyes swept over the handsome maid's face, and he responded lightly: "There are quite a few people in my palace, thank you for the kindness of the high priest, but you still don't have to bother." ”

Yu Panxi never intended to let anyone replace Liu Suifeng, not to mention that this slave was sent by Qianqiu, so she had to guard against it.

Unexpectedly, her categorical refusal did not make Qianqiu give up, he glanced at the slave maid, his eyes vaguely revealed indifferent killing intent, and said: "I planned to let you serve the princess, so I bought you, and now since the princess is unwilling to accept you, then you will beg on the street again, and it is inconvenient for me to take you into the palace again." ”

Hearing this, this slave and maid were very clever, she immediately knelt at Yu Panxi's feet with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful, and pleaded humbly: "The life of begging on the street before, the slave and maid are simply worse than death, princess, please be kind to take in the slave and maid, even if it is to let the slave and maid do the heaviest and most tiring work in the palace, the slave and maid are willing to accept it, otherwise the slave and maid are willing to die, and they do not want to be a beggar who is bullied by others!" ”

While talking, the slave began to sobb constantly, as if she had been wronged, and her already pretty appearance, now with the embellishment of tears, made her even more touching and lovable.

Her cry caused Yu Panxi's headache, she couldn't help frowning slightly, holding her forehead, looking at the slave in front of her very helplessly, and replied: "That's it, I don't want to make people feel bad early in the morning, since it is the high priest's kindness, then I will stay, but the ugly words are ahead, if this slave violates the taboo in the house, or makes me angry, then I will immediately order someone to send it back to the high priest, and then whether to go or stay, then let the high priest make his own decisions." ”

Yu Panxi's meaning is very clear, she promised to let the slave stay in the house, but it is conditional, once she accidentally provokes her, then she will definitely not be kind enough to stay.

"That's nature." The plan succeeded, Qianqiu couldn't help but smile and said: "It was originally cultivated to help the princess share her worries, if she is really so ignorant, don't say that the princess refuses to keep her, even if it is Qianqiu, she will not spare her." ”

Then Qianqiu gave the slave a hint of a look, and continued: "What are you still doing? Since the princess has agreed to take you in, why don't you immediately kneel down and thank the princess for her great kindness? ”

"Yes." The slave and maid responded, but as soon as she wanted to thank Yu Panxi, she waved her hand directly, squinted her eyes like a lazy cat, and said:

"Forget it, you don't need to say thank you, it's just a gesture, but what will be your fortune in the future? Can you stay in this mansion for a long time? It will be up to you to make your own, so go down first. ”

"The slave obeys."

It is really worthy of being a subordinate trained by Qianqiu herself, she is really clever and very discerning, she was obviously not frightened by Yu Panxi's momentum of not approaching, and immediately turned around and walked out of the hall in obedience.

Then Qianqiu clasped his arms into fists, thanked him in front of Yu Panxi, and said: "Thank you princess for being willing to save face for Qianqiu in front of her subordinates, Qianqiu knows that the princess is not willing to accept this slave, but she doesn't want to live up to Qianqiu, and at the same time she doesn't want her subordinates to look down on Qianqiu, thank you." ”

"The high priest is serious, as you say, I am the one who should thank me for taking the trouble to train such a clever slave and maid, and not hesitating to give it to me." Although Yu Panxi was laughing, her smile did not contain any warmth, nothing else, just because in her opinion, Qianqiu's move was a little weird.

Then Xiao Chumo, who came back from the palace, couldn't help but wonder when he saw that there was a strange maid beside Yu Panxi who he had never met, so he asked Yu Panxi when the maid left: "I have never heard that anyone has bought a maid in the house recently, what is the matter with this person?" ”

"It's true that it wasn't bought with money." Yu Panxi raised her eyebrows, smiled playfully, met Xiao Chumo's increasingly puzzled eyes, and continued: "It was suddenly sent by Qianqiu today, saying that she wanted to appease my mood. ”

said to be appeased, in fact, in Yu Panxi's opinion, this slave maid was just Qianqiu deliberately placed eyeliner next to Yu Panxi to monitor her every day, as early as that day, when Liu Suifeng died, Qianqiu's ulterior motives aroused Yu Panxi's suspicions, but she didn't have time to start the investigation, so Qianqiu took the lead and gave her a "big gift".

Like Yu Panxi's thoughts, Xiao Chumo also felt that Qianqiu was a drunkard who didn't mean to drink, and he couldn't bear to be watched by a stranger, so he said thoughtfully: "You are my person, even if you are in a bad mood, you don't need him to worry about it, I will return the person tomorrow, he really thinks that I Xiao Chumo is a soft persimmon!" ”

"Wait." Yu Panxi saw that Xiao Chumo was very angry, but she smiled disapprovingly, had a plan, and said:

"If you really want to send this slave back tomorrow, I'm afraid that she will cry aggrievedly in the house again, which will give me a headache, as early as when Qianqiu sent it, I said that if this person makes a mistake, I will send it back, rather than being framed by Qianqiu We live up to his kindness, there is more upright now, and he can't find a way to refuse, why not?"

Hearing Yu Panxi say this, Xiao Chumo's anger gradually dissipated, he nodded, and said, "Since you already have an idea in your heart, then it's up to you to decide." ”

In the following days, the maid was very diligent, quick with her hands and feet, and she was very good at cooking, which simply overshadowed all the maids in the mansion, but Yu Panxi's fear of her did not decrease.

It happened that one day, there was news about the servant she sent out to investigate the cause of Liu Suifeng's death, so Yu Panxi invited her into the hall and instructed her not to disturb her, and she had to study it carefully in an extremely quiet environment.

But I don't know where the slave and maid got the news? Even under the banner of sending tea and water, although they walked in together, they had no intention of leaving.

Yu Panxi was anxious to know the situation, so he ignored it, frowned and asked the servant, "How?" Did you find anything by examining Sui Feng's corpse? ”

"Back to the princess's words, the villain found that the lord of the Liu Mansion was indeed killed by a sword, but before that, he seemed to have fought with someone, and there were several inconspicuous bruises on the corpse, and the villain was also in the fingernails of the lord of the Liu Mansion, and found the mixed traces of the burning of incense candles and paper money, as well as this ......" Then he took out a torn paper money and handed it to Yu Panxi.
