Mama Dong did not answer where Liu's body was first, but said: "The second miss has changed since she got married. Madame has struggled to support the second lady until now. When the second lady was still young, Mrs. looked for death, and it was the old slave who saved her. All the hopes of Madame are in the second miss, if it weren't for the second miss you, Madame would probably be dead a long time ago. In order to prevent the second lady from getting married, Mrs. was beaten by the master and couldn't get out of bed, Miss, you didn't come back to the door after so many days, and you didn't ask Mrs. for a doctor when you came back, so you watched Mrs. go. Second Miss, are you worthy of Madame? ”

Mama Dong couldn't stop shedding tears. The second lady she knew, although cowardly, was very filial. In the past, when Liu was sick, the second lady went to kneel in front of the eldest lady Wang and begged for a doctor, but Wang didn't ask for it, so she took the previous prescription to grab the medicine and decoction for Liu, and waited by the bedside. But now the second lady is already a princess, and she can ask for a doctor for the Liu family, but she didn't invite her, and watched her mother die.

Ye Xiaoyan sighed and said, "I have amnesia, and I don't remember anything before." I was injured on the day I got married, and I couldn't get out of bed myself. As for my mother, it's not that I don't ask for a doctor for her, it's that she was no longer good at that time, and even if I invited the immortals, I couldn't save her. ”

Liu died of kidney failure. That kind of situation may not be able to be saved in modern times, let alone in this place where medical skills and medicine are extremely backward.

Mama Dong was unhappy in her heart and wanted to ask, how did you know that you couldn't save it. However, now that people are dead, what's the use of arguing about this. So she let out a long sigh and said nothing.

"Where is my mother's body?" Ye Xiaoyan asked.

Mama Dong replied: "After the young lady left that day, the eldest lady ordered someone to carry the body of the lady away, and the old slave and Xing'er quietly followed. They carried her to a mass grave and dug a pit to bury her. After the old slave and Xing'er waited until the people were gone, they dug the lady out of the pit again and carried her to the mountain to bury her. ”

"Where are you buried?"

"On the southern outskirts of the mountains, not far from mass graves."

"You can take me tomorrow."

"Yes."

Ye Xiaoyan looked at the two servants in front of her who had taken care of Liu's mother and daughter for many years, and said, "The deed of sale for the two of you Ye Fusheng has been handed over to me, and you two have taken care of me and my mother for so many years, I will return the deed of sale to you." If you two want to stay in the Xuanwang Mansion, I will ask Mama Rong to arrange for the two of you to do things. If you don't want to stay in the Xuanwang Mansion, I'll set you two free. ”

Xing'er knelt down and said, "The slave is willing to stay in the Xuanwang Mansion." ”

Mama Dong was a little hesitant. She has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion all her life, and she is really disgusted with the people in the mansion, and now in this Xuanwang Mansion, I don't know what this mansion will be like. It's good that she has the opportunity to go out now, but what can she do when she gets out?

Ye Xiaoyan saw Mama Dong's hesitation and said, "I have a shop outside that sells sesame oil. If you're worried about your livelihood after you go out, I can arrange for you to go there to do something. The shopkeeper is also surnamed Dong, and the shopkeeper will pay you a salary, if you do a good job, there will be performance rewards, and the income will not be less. ”

"Salary?" Mama Dong didn't know what the salary was.

"Mama Rong hasn't taught you two the rules of the Xuanwang Mansion yet. Wait for her to tell you both. Whether to go or stay, you two think about it. After thinking about it, tell me, in short, I won't treat you badly. ”

Ye Xiaoyan got up and was about to leave, and Mama Dong hurriedly asked, "Second Miss, when will you go to the southern suburbs tomorrow?" ”

Ye Xiaoyan turned back to Lu Zhi and said, "You stay and discuss with Mama Dong for an hour, and tell me when you have discussed." ”

"Yes."

Ye Xiaoyan returned to the main courtyard.

Green Branch stayed, looking at the former descendants of the two princesses. She also knew that before the princess got married, there were only these two subordinates to serve, and their relationship with the princess was not ordinary, so she did not slack off. It's just that when I heard Mama Dong's words just now, I was blaming the princess of his family for ignoring her biological mother.

Lu Zhi said: "Mama Dong, you just blamed the princess by mistake!" ”

"How?" Mama Dong listened attentively.

"On the day the princess first entered the door, she was broken by the prince and lay in bed for several days. Later, when I was able to get out of bed, it was the queen mother who was summoned to the palace. On the second day after entering the palace, the princess returned to her parents' house. The princess didn't deliberately not go back, but she couldn't get out of bed. ”

Mama Dong was surprised. It turned out that the rumors were true, King Xuan was so tyrannical, so the eldest lady refused to marry or let the second lady marry instead.

Of course, Lu Zhi would not speak ill of his own prince, so he said: "You don't have to worry, Mama Dong, it's just a misunderstanding, the prince reconciled with the princess on the second day, and the two of them are in love." He laughed as he spoke.

Green Zhi stayed with Xing'er and Mama Dong, and told them a lot about what happened after the princess came. To the effect that the Xuanwang Mansion is a happy place, not an impersonal place like the Prime Minister's Mansion; The prince and the princess are very good, and they are also very good to their subordinates.

As soon as Ye Xiaoyan stepped into the main courtyard, Steward Zhou hurriedly ran over and said:

"Princess Qiyu, Grandpa Gao is here."

Ye Xiaoyan twisted her eyebrows, is the emperor here again?

Steward Zhou said: "Father-in-law Gao is here to deliver the decree. ”

Oh, the emperor didn't come.

"What is the message?" Ye Xiaoyan asked.

"The old slave doesn't know. The prince had already gone to the front hall, and ordered the old slave to find the princess to go to the front hall to receive the order. ”

Ye Xiaoyan lifted her feet and went to the front hall.

In the front hall, Gonggong Gao and Nangong You were sitting and drinking tea, and Xiao Yuhan was also there.

Gonggong Gao smiled kindly and deferentially, and said, "I didn't expect Xiao Shizi to also be in the Xuanwang Mansion. ”

Xiao Yuhan waved his hand and said, "I and His Royal Highness King Xuan's childhood sweethearts, and when we came to the capital, we naturally wanted to live in King Xuan's Mansion." ”

Grandpa Gao sneered and said, "Lord Shizi, that's not how childhood sweethearts are used. ”

"One in the same vein! One in the same vein. Xiao Yuhan added with a smile.

Ye Xiaoyan walked into the front hall, and Gao Gonggong stood up and saluted.

"Father-in-law Gao doesn't have to be polite."

Ye Xiaoyan helped her and stood at the bottom of the hall, ready to kneel down to receive the order.

Gonggong Gao hurriedly stopped Ye Xiaoyan from kneeling and said, "The emperor said that he just gave a letter of change of name and handed it to the princess, and the princess didn't have to kneel down to accept the order." As he spoke, he presented the book with both hands.

Ye Xiaoyan was puzzled, so she took it and opened it to take a look, it said, Princess Xuan changed her name to Ye Xiaoyan and reset the royal jade butterfly.

Ye Xiaoyan looked at Nangong You, and Nangong You smiled at her. In fact, he didn't expect that his father would change Yan'er's name.

Ye Xiaoyan thanked Gao Gonggong, but Gao Gonggong didn't dare to accept it, and said: "The old slave still has to go to Ye Mansion to pass the decree, so I will leave." ”

"Send Grandpa Gao!" Nangong Youfang Zhou housekeeper sent Gao Gonggong out of the house.

Gao Gonggong saluted and took his leave.
