Chapter 229: Is It Worth It to Choose Like This?
Prince Jing's Mansion originally had no female subordinates, let alone maids and maidservants, even if it was a rough mother-in-law or even a cook, all the work was done by male subordinates, until Prince Jing entered the mansion, a group of female servants were brought, that is, eighteen maids headed by Yan Duo, in fact, these maids were bought into the mansion later, not from the country of Issi, so no one will know whether the maids and maids here are all born innocent.
You Shulan played with the dagger in her hand, looking at the little maid who fell to the ground with her face covered, this little maid is about seventeen or eighteen years old, not tall, very similar to You Shulan's figure, and more importantly, this maid had measles after entering the house, and scratched her face at that time, Prince Jing's mansion is also considered to be kind-hearted, so she left this little maid in the outer courtyard to live and raise, although it is the identity of the maid, but what should be eaten and worn is not less, but there is no salary, But these maids are all sold into the house, as long as they are not greedy for any big money, and there is no way to live without a salary, so ......
"A maid who hasn't done anything for half a year, hasn't even appeared in the inner courtyard, and is still well kept here, flying...... You're really getting kinder. You Shulan bent down and ripped off the clothes on the little girl's body, she didn't like to wear other people's clothes, but in order to get close to Jimo Hanfei, she would make this decision.
"You're killing again!" Chang Lian's shadow appeared behind You Shulan like a ghost, "I said, you can't ......"
"You're free!" You Shulan glanced at Chang Lianying dissatisfied, "I heard that the emperor personally asked you to divinate the whereabouts of Xiao Shizi, why do you still have time to take care of me?" The little prince of the county lord of Wenyu is gone, this is a big matter of the royal family, but you are going to care about whether a woman wants to enter Prince Jing's mansion as a maid or that, do you think it is appropriate? ”
Chang Lianying looked at You Shulan with a gloomy face, he now regretted getting this woman over, he shouldn't have thought of using such a despicable means to deal with Jimo Hanfei, now it seems that he is not dealing with Jimo Hanfei, but Jiao Yuzhen!
Suddenly hearing the sound of someone coming, You Shulan glanced at Chang Lianying, who gritted her teeth and turned around and disappeared into the shadows of the corner.
The moment Chang Lian's shadow disappeared, You Shulan turned to look at the grandmother who had pushed them in, and she strode towards the grandmother, blocking the other party from the door, so as not to let her see the corpse of the maid in the room who had not had time to dispose of it.
Mama looked at You Shulan standing at the door with some surprise, it seemed that it was the first time to see the people who lived here without a veil, this maid was infected when she entered the house, and she had been raised here for more than half a year...... It seems too glamorous......
Mama settled down before she slowly spoke: "You don't wear a veil anymore, this face should be all right, right?" That's good, today the prince invited the county lord of Wenyu over and said that he wanted to give the county lord a little relief. There are not enough maids in the inner courtyard, so since you are well, come with me quickly. ”
You Shulan laughed, if she didn't know that Wenyu County would come to Prince Jing's Mansion today, she wouldn't have picked this time, so she hurriedly nodded: "Yes, Mama, the slave maid will go and change her clothes first, and she will come immediately." ”
Mama replied, and glanced at You Shulan a few more times, and then she realized that this girl's clothes were really strange, and the red gauze skirt really didn't look like the girl's clothes, but this girl had been living in seclusion with illness, so she ...... That's it, that's it.
Seeing that Mama was waiting outside the house, You Shulan closed the room, cleaned up the body and changed her clothes and came out.

The little prince of the county lord of Wenyu was robbed, and there is still no explanation, Emperor Jimo and Ao because they got the arrows of Yan State, so they raised this matter to the issue of countries and countries, but I don't know when there will be a result in such negotiations.
The county lord of Wenyu fell ill on the third day after Xiao Shizi was kidnapped, that is, Mo Hanfei arranged for her to come over for the health of the county lord of Wenyu, and Jiao Yuzhen's body has also been weak in the past few days, so let the two of them talk to each other, maybe they can be relieved.
Jimo Hanfei read the words on the rice paper very carefully, then sighed, and then raised his head to look at Du Chenghuan who was standing on the edge of the table: "Most of the people in the court actually think that the robbery of Xiao Shizi was done by Prince Ze, and there are still people who jointly ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate Prince Ze?" ”
Du Chenghuan shook the folding fan in his hand, nodded and spoke: "That's true, but I don't know what agreement Prince Ze reached with the emperor at that time. It's just that...... In addition to Prince Ze, you are also listed as the object of suspicion, after all, on the day of the incident, the princess was in Prince Ze's mansion. ”
Jimo Hanfei's eyes fell on the words in his hand again, and what was written on the rice paper was the sixteen words "clear water and sky, loess stamp, reflecting the moon and silver willows, and dreaming of the wind returning to the nest", which was translated from the Latin in Jiao Yuzhen's mouth, because there is no such poetic structure in Latin, so it is translated word by word, and the formation of such verses is also impossible to unravel.
"I've thought of the fact that it will pour dirty water on my body for a long time, so I don't think it's strange at all, inviting the county lord of Wenyu over today definitely has such a meaning......
Ji Mo Hanfei stopped before he could finish his words, because he heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door.
It was just the blink of an eye, and a grandmother's voice came from outside the study: "Lord, the princess asked the old slave to tell the prince that the lord of Wenyu has arrived." ”
Ji Mo Hanfei replied "I know" and let the grandmother out, and when he raised his head to look at Du Chenghuan, he found that he looked at himself with a surprised face: "What's wrong?" Your expression ......."
"No ......" Du Chenghuan hurriedly covered his face with the folding fan in his hand, "The subordinates are just a little surprised, hasn't the master always refused to let female subordinates approach this Ling Rui Pavilion?" Even the cleaners are the housekeepers, and today there is a grandmother to report it. ”
"That's the grandmother in the Liurui Pavilion, but she came here to spread the word, since it's Yu Zhen's person, it's impossible for me to disagree if I want to come in." When Mo Hanfei said this, a doting smile appeared on his face, "As long as it is her meaning, I will not refuse." ”

Maybe because she has enjoyed the glory and wealth in her previous life, even if she becomes the princess of Jing in this life, the servants will hug her back and forth, Jiao Yuzhen will not have much feeling, and she will never have any opinion of the place where she lives or even this Prince Jing's mansion, she just likes gold and silver jewelry in her heart, so at this moment she is playing with a jade Ruyi carved from an ancient jade with a whole body of emerald green, this jade Ruyi is not big, but small and exquisite, but even so it is priceless. It's just that she thought it was the cheap pen in her previous life, and she turned it between her fingers, and Yan Duo, who was waiting on the side, had a feeling of horror!
"Princess, Lord Wenyu has arrived, and he is entering the Moon Reflection Gate." A little maid walked over and blessed Jiao Yu Zhen and said so.
Jiao Yuzhen stopped what she was doing, put the jade Ruyi in her hand on the low table on the side casually, and then looked at the county lord of Wenyu who was carried in a soft sedan chair, she was slightly startled, and was about to get up from the chaise longue, Yan Duo and Liuxun also stepped forward to help her up, and greeted the county lord of Wenyu.
It's just that he hasn't seen him for a few days, and Jiao Yuzhen was surprised to find that the county lord of Wenyu was like living in Africa for ten years, his fair skin didn't know why it had darkened, and his face also showed a thin appearance, his cheekbones protruded, and his eye sockets were deep.
Lord Wenyu obviously knew how she looked like this, and when the subordinate put down the sedan chair, she adjusted her sitting posture slightly, and looked at Jiao Yuzhen with a wry smile of helplessness: "Don't worry about me, I'm just sick." ”
The educator sighed heavily, she thought that she was already sick and weak, but she didn't expect that the always healthy county lord of Wenyu would look so much more serious than herself: "It's me who is not good, I actually invited you over...... Anything should be the ...... for me to see you."
Lord Wenyu shook his head slowly, took a sip of the tea handed by the maidservant, and then saw that the courtyard was full of familiar faces before continuing to speak: "No...... Actually, I don't want to stay in the county lord's mansion all the time, but my husband thinks it's too dangerous to go out rashly, and if I don't come to Prince Jing's mansion, I probably won't be able to go out like this. But I also know that if I don't come to Prince Jing's Mansion at this time, I'm afraid it will cause trouble to you. You are the niece of your husband, I am the cousin of Prince Jing, and you are the concubine of Prince Jing, no matter how we count us, we are all relatives, and I must not let you suffer injustice because of myself. And...... I know it's the emperor who spread the rumors......"
Someone in the market spread rumors that were unfavorable to Prince Jing's Mansion with the disappearance of Xiao Shizi in the Wenyu County Lord's Mansion, who was the initiator of such rumors, the Crescent Pavilion could naturally be found out, but Jiao Yuzhen also knew in his heart that even if he didn't investigate, he knew that it was Jimo and Ao, and the relationship between Jimo and Ao and Jimo Hanfei was also very tense, and Jimo and Ao were looking for various opportunities to target Jimo Hanfei, but although Jimo Hanfei did not react on the surface, Jiao Yuzhen also understood that Jimo Hanfei also wanted to get the throne.
She is a little woman who loves jewelry, and she never wants to have any entanglement with the imperial power, but she also knows that it is impossible for her to get out of this troubled water if she chooses such a man, so she has to protect Jimo Hanfei, and because of this...... She told Jimo Hanfei that she needed to invite the county lord of Wenyu over, and only in this way could she break the rumors that Prince Jing's Mansion would deal with the county lord's mansion!
"County Lord, the rumors are not terrible, as long as the county lord does not become suspicious of his relatives, this matter is also being investigated, but it is certain that it was not made by relatives!"
Lord Wenyu looked at Jiao Yuzhen, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, she understood Jiao Yuzhen's words, she meant that this matter had nothing to do with Prince Ze!
The county lord of Wenyu is also an extremely intelligent person, so in an instant she understood that the person who robbed her child was not trying to hurt her child, but to use this matter to make the Jimo royal family suspicious of each other, and in addition to those countries that have a delicate relationship with Qingguo, there are ...... Xuanyuan remnant!
Seeing that the county lord of Wenyu's face changed slightly, Jiao Yuzhen knew that she had understood her intentions, so she continued to speak: "The county lord also persuaded me before, and I also understand that in fact, a woman's life is very passive, so it is rare to be able to do the things of the lord by herself, and this is probably the only ......" Saying, Jiao Yuzhen stuffed a small note in his hand into the hand of the county lord of Wenyu, "County lord, there are some things that only I can do." ”
Lord Wenyu looked at Jiao Yuzhen with some puzzlement, she didn't understand why Jiao Yuzhen would do this, but the note in her hand told her that she knew that she was the only person who could help Jiao Yuzhen, and that a new conspiracy or Xiao Shizi's new rescue plan was in her choice!
After staying in Prince Jing's mansion for a while, Lord Wenyu left on the grounds of physical discomfort, and when the soft sedan came out of Prince Jing's mansion, she hurriedly took out the note that Jiao Yuzhen gave her and looked at it, but because of this, her face turned even paler: "You...... Why did you choose this way...... Do this...... Is it worth it? ”
