Chapter 170: The Truth
If she really asked for this, Liu Yan really didn't dare to help her.
She sympathized with Liu Cui's plight, and was afraid that if she left the capital, King Xuan and Princess Xuan would be unreliable, so she wanted to help her cousin.
Anyway, she's also a princess.
Liu Yan is still very clear about his identity. In her capacity, if she showed affection to someone, that person would inevitably be in a better situation.
She only posted a post to Cousin Cui and Cousin Wu today, which means this.
Liu Cui is in a bad situation now, and Wu Xiaohui, because of his father's illness, only has an empty title and a low status and is not high. Others may not need her icing on the cake, but the two of them need help.
But Liu Yan is not stupid.
She can't help Liu Cui do anything that is deviant and intolerable!
"Sister Yan, do you remember Kirinzu?"
Liu Yan couldn't think of this person.
"It's my old maid."
"Ah, I remember." Liu Yan nodded, and she had an impression as soon as she said this: "What's wrong with her?" ”
"She was sold, I asked someone to inquire about her whereabouts, she is now in the hands of a person surnamed Qiu, but I can't buy her back, can Sister Yan help me, help me buy her back. She couldn't go back to serve me anymore, and begged Sister Yan to let someone settle her and give her a way to live. ”
"Okay, I promise you."
If it's just to help this, Liu Yan will definitely be able to help.
Liu Cui nodded at her.
"Be careful on the way back, it's dark and snowing."
"I know." Liu Cui said softly: "Thank you, I really can't find anyone else to help me with this...... Sister Yan, you have a good heart, and you will be rewarded in the future. ”
Liu Yan didn't know why, so she asked what she had always wanted to ask.
"Sister Cui, have you ever regretted it?"
"To say no, that's a lie." Liu Cui said slowly: "But I don't regret that I eloped. I regret it, I thought things too simply, because of my willfulness, I have affected many innocent people, not just Tongling alone...... They're all affected by me. ”
Saying this, Liu Cui also got into the sedan chair.
Gui Yuan held an umbrella to block the snow for Liu Yan, and when he saw that the two guests had gotten on the sedan chair and left, he hurriedly urged: "Princess, go in quickly, this snow is getting heavier and heavier." ”
Liu Yan instructed her: "It's too late today, let someone go and talk to the little brother tomorrow, and ask him to send someone to buy that Tongling, and then arrange a place for her to go." ”
Gui Yuan hurriedly responded: "Yes, the slave must remember." ”
Speaking of which, this Cui girl can be regarded as affectionate, how can the average master care about the life and death of his subordinates? When the master does something wrong, it is often the slaves and maids around him who are punished, which is a common practice, not only in the palace, but also everywhere in the world. What about the affectionate master, you can still remember to take a handful, but more people don't take these people to heart at all, anyway, the slaves and maids are all stubble after stubble, and there is no old and new.
As a result, the four princes sent someone to do this, but they inquired about some other news, and when they came back, the four princes were also very surprised.
This matter spread from Mao De's mouth to Anhe Palace, and Liu Fang was also there, and he also heard it.
"Tongling has actually been resold once, and the tooth surnamed Qiu bought her at the beginning, seeing that she was born well, and she was a maid from a big family, and her value must be good, so she was sold to a family as a concubine. The housewife was very fierce, Tongling suffered a lot after being sold, and she wanted to escape, so she was beaten and returned to the surname Qiu. The surnamed Qiu wanted to sell her again, but she was delayed because she was injured. Miss Cui sent someone to inquire about the news, and she couldn't buy Tongling back, but she gave the surname Qiu a little money and asked him to keep the person first. ”
Mao De lowered his voice and said, "Tongling heard that Miss Cui asked someone to buy her back, and she is very grateful. The people sent by His Royal Highness also asked her to ask Lang Zhong to treat her injuries well, and I heard one thing from her mouth, it turned out that she was not sent by Princess Xuan to sell her. ”
"Not Princess Xuan? Who is that from the palace? ”
Gui Yuan and the others all thought that Tongling might have been sold by Princess Xuan, which was also common sense. Tongling is Liu Cui's personal maid, Liu Cui eloped and didn't forget to bring her, it can be seen that she is her confidant, and she is also the insider of her romantic elopement, and it is natural for Princess Xuan to dispose of this girl. After making such a big mistake, is she still an eyesore? What if things leak out later?
It turned out to be not?
"It's not from the palace, it's ......" Mao De paused for a moment, and pondered the wording again: "It's Shi Yunlian." ”
"Who?" Liu Yan heard the name, but Liu Fang remembered: "Isn't that the ...... with Sister Cui at that time?"
As soon as she said this, Liu Yan remembered.
It was the one who eloped with Sister Cui at that time!
"Is that him? Why did he sell Sister Cui's maid? ”
"This ......," Mao De said, "According to Tongling, they didn't have much money on them, and they had no money to use at that time. Tong Ling thought that he would go to someone he knew in the past to borrow some silver to get through the difficulty, and the young master Shi probably wanted to find money without money, and second, he felt that Tong Ling would expose their whereabouts after them, so he gave Tong Ling ...... Sold. ”
Liu Yan and Liu Fang looked at each other.
Neither of them expected it to be like this.
Liu Cui didn't say it herself, if she hadn't found Tongling, no one would have imagined that things would be like this.
"He sells Tongling, Sister Cui shouldn't know, right?"
"Tongling said that her girl didn't know, she took advantage of her girl's absence, called human teeth to take her away directly, Tongling didn't know that it was human teeth at first, and it was too late to find out that something was wrong."
Liu Fang's lips moved a few times, she didn't know what to say, she picked up the tea and poured it hard: "Why is this person ...... like this?"
No wonder Liu Cui is reluctant to marry him after he comes back, there is this reason.
Tongling has been serving Liu Cui for many years, and the two of them are said to be master and servant, but they are not just master and servant. Otherwise, Liu Cui ran out and didn't take anyone with her, so remember to take her.
Selling people is not a thing!
"One more thing." Mao De simply said: "Later, after the lord of Cuijun came back, the Shi family came to ask for a kiss. But Mrs. Shi is arrogant, and what she means in her words is that the lord of Cui County has a loss of virtue, who can marry besides his family......"
Liu Fang slapped the table and stood up: "This old pious woman! It's so cheap and good! ”
Liu Fang has been very careful about her words and deeds since entering the palace, for fear that she will be held wrong if she has any inappropriate behavior. But now she broke out a foul word, and no one thought it was too much, and Liu Yan also echoed: "That's right!" You can't marry anyone to marry his family! What is it! ”
