Chapter Seventy-Four: Qiao Ling Sells Mansion
Xing'er is kind-hearted on weekdays, and her popularity is excellent, and there are always some sisters who play well around her.
But Qiao Ling actually convicted Xing'er of a crime at random, not only beat her up and locked her up, but also didn't give her food, didn't this force Xing'er to die?
It's just that Qiaoling is a maid in the hands of her wife, and her status is not ordinary, even if she pleads, she has no way to cry.
Several maidservants were sad and racked their brains to find a way, and they also heard that Xing'er was implicated because Qiaoling hated Zhao Qingyan.
Anyway, Zhao Qingyan is in the name of the princess, although the lady doesn't want to see her, and everyone doesn't take her seriously, but Zhao Qingyan saved the old lady, everyone knows, after all, she still has someone behind this family, Xing'er is still hopeful, and hope is better than no hope.
Several people pondered for a long time, thought about how to speak when they saw Zhao Qingyan, and immediately ran towards Zhao Qingyan's courtyard.
At this time, Zhao Qingyan was still tutoring Wen Zichen's homework, but in fact, it was not tutoring, after all, some words that Wen Zichen knew Zhao Qingyan might not recognize, saying that she was studying on the side.
At this time, she suddenly heard someone say that someone asked to see her, Zhao Qingyan was stunned, after all, she was not familiar with the Hou Mansion, and she had very little contact with the subordinates, so she almost thought that someone had passed on the wrong word.
Despite this, she did not hesitate, and as she walked outside, she heard the woman's low sobs.
Zhao Qingyan's movements were not concealed, and almost as soon as he left the yard, Xing'er's sisters heard footsteps.
Several people immediately knelt down and crawled over, and this posture jumped Zhao Qingyan, who had just come out.
"What are you doing, hurry up." Zhao Qingyan is not a real ancient, and she doesn't have much concept of respect and humility, but these people are like this, but she was startled, and she didn't want to think about it, so she reached out to help.
"Arise quickly, and do what you do on your knees, and stand up and speak?"
"Princess Shizi, please save Xing'er, she is about to be tortured to death by Qiao Ling."
Several handmaidens cried louder in an instant, which frightened Zhao Qingyan into a panic, and hurriedly tried to help, and the handmaid saw that Zhao Qingyan's actions were sincere, and she was moved in her heart and stood up.
Zhao Qingyan also thought about it, his hand was broken a few days ago, and in order to let Zichen eat, he had to go to the kitchen to cook, wasn't Xing'er helping? Apricot is kind-hearted.
"Tell me quickly, what the hell is wrong with Apricot?"
Involuntarily, Zhao Qingyan's voice was a little anxious.
Several maidservants heard what Zhao Qingyan meant, and immediately told how Qiao Ling beat Xing'er and punished her as it was, and explained everything she had heard.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingyan became angry. I didn't expect this Qiaoling to be so vicious, and Xing'er was also implicated by herself.
"Take me there."
Several maids were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly took Zhao Qingyan towards the place where Xing'er was punished.
Xing'er has been dragged to the firewood room by the maid, and she is already angry at this time.
When Zhao Qingyan arrived, there were still some subordinates around who had not dispersed and pointed and muttered on the side.
"Open the door and let the apricots out." Zhao Qingyan said as he walked towards the firewood room.
It's just that before he got close, he was stopped by the rough maid guarding the door, and a mocking voice came from his ears.
"Heh, princess, Xing'er is a mistake, you can't stop following the rules of the Hou Mansion because of your identity."
As soon as the rough mother-in-law made a sound, the tone was indescribably mocking, and the people around him laughed, but when Zhao Qingyan turned his head, he stopped talking.
Zhao Qingyan knew that the subordinates of the Hou Mansion tended to be inflammatory, but she didn't expect that it had reached the point of disregarding human life, and she was chilled.
wanted to continue to speak, but the maid who was guarding the other side continued to speak: "Princess, don't embarrass us, we are just a slave, Aunt Qiaoling is the person next to Mrs. after all, and what she represents is what Mrs. means." What's more, we don't dare to contradict what the master ordered, right? ”
The malice of these words was even stronger, and the people around him laughed even more.
Anyway, Zhao Qingyan is also a princess, even if Mrs. Cheng doesn't want to see her, but with this name, she can be regarded as half a master. It's just that this maid doesn't take her seriously at all, and she has a perfunctory face to say anything.
Although Zhao Qingyan never cared about his identity, he was also disgusted by their faces. She should have thought of this step a long time ago, her status in the Hou Mansion had never existed, and there was no need to make this trip at all.
"Princess Shizi, do you want to blame you and Xing'er for getting too close, if it weren't for you, how could Xing'er be implicated."
I don't know who said this behind him, and then the discussion became louder, even if Zhao Qingyan turned his head, he couldn't hide these people watching the show.
Zhao Qingyan swept everyone around with cold eyes, and finally saw Xing'er's sisters crying miserably outside the firewood room, she shouted Xing'er's name loudly, but there was no movement inside.
The people around looked at this scene indifferently, without the slightest sympathy, but like a joke.
Zhao Qingyan knew that the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous Xing'er would be, so she didn't hesitate to turn around and go to find Wen Qiao, now only he could help her.
When the people around saw Zhao Qingyan leave, they also dispersed, but Zhao Qingyan's actions today will definitely spread throughout the Hou Mansion as a joke.
When Zhao Qingyan found Wen Qiao, he was in the study, the man was upright, tall and handsome, and he was practicing calligraphy with his head down.
It's just that this scene didn't change Zhao Qingyan's anxiety, Zhao Qingyan took a long breath and asked loudly: "Wen Qiao, is this how your Hou Mansion treats life-saving benefactors?" ”
Wen Qiao was stunned for a moment, put down the pen in his hand, and looked at Zhao Qingyan, because he had just run over, Zhao Qingyan's hair was messy, he looked a little embarrassed, and his face was still a little red.
But she obviously didn't care, just stared at her.
Wen Qiao was uncomfortable by this gaze, and beckoned to the subordinates outside the greeting study: "What's the matter?" ”
Wen Qiao didn't know who the person who saved his grandmother was, he just thought that Zhao Qingyan was taken to the house by his mother, and he was still sighing that his mother was doing things very quickly, but he didn't expect these twists and turns. It's just that what does Zhao Qingyan mean by this?
Wen Qiao didn't care that she called her by her name, and immediately asked when she thought of this: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Seeing that Wen Qiao asked the key point, Zhao Qingyan immediately told Xing'er about it: "I saved the old lady, so the maid on weekdays is not familiar with me, only Xing'er is familiar with me, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, Xing'er Qiaoling was beaten half to death, and she was sent to the firewood room without food and drink." I went to save someone, but I was stopped at the door, and a group of people sneered and pointed fingers. What does Hou Fu mean? Is it possible to knock on me, the savior? ”
Wen Qiao also knew that Qiao Ling was the person next to her mother, and this matter was most likely his mother's handiwork, but he didn't expect to do such a thing without regard for human life.
Wen Qiao's face suddenly turned cold, and he immediately instructed the subordinates on the side: "Send someone to release Xing'er and find the best doctor to treat her." ”
The subordinate received the order and went out immediately.
Xing'er was saved, Zhao Qingyan's heart relaxed, but Qiaoling's evil slave could never be let go: "What does the prince plan to do with Qiaoling?"
"Sell the house."
"That's it?" Sell the house? almost took a life, such a simple punishment, Zhao Qingyan only felt that it was too simple when he heard this decision.
Wen Qiao frowned, after all, this matter involved his mother, and he couldn't explain it, so he could only add one more sentence: "She is my mother's subordinate." ”
The matter of selling the mansion ended so simply, just because Qiao Ling was the person next to Mrs. Cheng? Isn't the Hou Mansion Wen Qiao in charge!
Knowing that Wen Qiao would not change again, Zhao Qingyan didn't say anything anymore, but he was cold.
