Early in the morning, Mei Gang led Qin Li, Sun Qiang and others to wait in the flower hall. As soon as Chen Shi arrived, Mei Xue led Jiu'er in.

Mei Xue's complexion has recovered very well, and she is still wearing her favorite green clothes and green shoes, her eyes are bright, and her eyebrows are cold.

Except for Mei Gang, the rest of the people didn't dare to look up at Mei Xue, and only bowed their heads to greet Mei Xue with Mei Gang.

The eight people standing behind Mei Gang were all young and strong, and the oldest looked to be in his early thirties.

Mei Xue's eyes swept over them one by one before she spoke to excuse them, and she herself sat down in the round chair and said:

"Since the prince has asked you to follow me to do things, then I must first explain my rules.

If you can accept it, follow me in the future. If you can't accept it, bring it up now and leave on your own. As for the son, I will divide it, and you don't have to bear the responsibility. ”

Seeing that everyone was silent and waiting for her to continue, Mei Xue asked Jiu'er to hand the box she was holding in her arms to Mei Gang, and then said loudly:

"I have only one request, and that is absolute obedience. Whatever Uncle Mei commands, it represents my will, and whether it is right or wrong, you must carry it out unconditionally.

Even if you make a mistake, you must follow it unconditionally, unless you have better advice and get Uncle Mei's permission. Otherwise, it will be regarded as disobedience and handed over to Mr. Song for handling. ”

Mei Xue stopped when she said this, ready to give Qin Li and the others time to think.

Unexpectedly, they immediately saluted Mei Xue in unison and said:

"The subordinates heard it clearly, and voluntarily followed the girl, and obeyed the instructions of Steward Mei."

Mei Xue was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, she felt normal.

With Song Zhijie's methods, since he dared to follow Li Jinzhi to the capital to seek work, it was probably just a normal thing to train such a few people.

Mei Xue slowed down her face, nodded and said:

"In addition to the royal mansion's routine silver, I will give you an extra one every month, which Uncle Mei will distribute to you.

As for those who are injured while doing things, there will be a full amount of silver and two subsidies. ”

Everyone saluted and thanked Mei Xue again, and Mei Xue asked them to go back to rest, leaving only Mei Gang to speak.

Mei Xue invited Mei Gang to sit down, and Jiu'er came over and poured tea.

Mei Gang hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down under Mei Xue.

Mei Xue took a few sips of tea, then raised her eyes and looked out of the door and said:

"I have three things to explain to my uncle today, please keep in mind."

Mei just got up and responded, Mei Xue waved her hand and motioned for him to sit, and then continued to say slowly:

"First, let Qin Li and them go out to inquire about the news, any news related to the Yan family and the Qiao family can be inquired, no matter how big or small, I have to know.

But keep in mind that you must be careful when doing this, and you must not be impatient, and would rather miss than reveal your identity.

Second, Uncle You're going to do it personally, and don't even tell Qin Li and the others first.

You go to Lord Shen's mansion and ask Mama Mei where she is now. Then you go around and probe carefully, including the surrounding terrain and all kinds of people in and out.

There is no need to rush the time, but you must do it carefully.

Third, focusing on the news of Yan Bingxiu's sixth aunt, I suspect that that woman's status in the Yan Mansion is not ordinary. ”

Qiu Changhai, a gangster in the market, dared to be so arrogant when he fell into the hands of the Shu Prince's Mansion, there must be a reason behind it.

Mei Gang got up again and solemnly responded.

Mei Xue watched Mei Gang leave, and she also led Jiu'er out of the flower hall.

Walking all the way to Li Jinzhi's courtyard, Jiu'er's eyes became more and more respectful when she looked at Mei Xue.

She only thought that Mei Xue was stable before, but she didn't expect that in the face of a group of men who were used to killing, Mei Xue still had a strong aura.

In Tsing Yi Lane, before dawn, a carriage set off from Jiaomen and went straight to Honolulu on the outskirts of Beijing, and returned in the evening.

The difference is that when I went, only the Yan family, the mother of Qiao's house, sat in the carriage, and when I came back, there was a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue robe.

The master had not returned home for many days, and if he had returned after dark to-day, the servants of the main courtyard would have been busy, and the dinner that had been prepared began to be made again.

Qiao Juncheng only sat down and drank a cup of tea, and heard that the second girl, Qiao Anran, had already slept, so she didn't even eat, and went straight to the study in the outer courtyard to rest.

Yan Shi did not have the slightest unhappy expression, and immediately looked at Mama Liu coldly after sending Qiao Juncheng away with a smile.

Mama Liu was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and said:

"Madam, the girl came back crying today, and the old slave went to see it again, and Yu Shu said that the girl had cried several times, and she was afraid that the old man would see that something was wrong, so the old slave lied."

Yan let out a long breath, closed his eyes and said:

"It's me who spoils her too much, and at her age, there are some things she should know."

As he spoke, Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and his beautiful eyes showed a fierce color.

Hibiscus face, willow eyebrows, skin snow, cherry mouth is red without dotting, and a pair of eyes are swollen from crying, but they are even more pitiful.

The crying Qiao Anran reclined on the bed, and the big girl Yushu led a group of servants to kneel beside the bed with hot water, Jinpa, etc. to persuade and serve.

Seeing Yan enter the door, she cried even more, threw herself into Yan's arms and sobbed and asked:

"Mother, what they say isn't true, is it?"

Today, the lord of Jialan County held a flower-viewing banquet, and as the leader of the Luoyang lady, Qiao Anran was naturally invited.

But the second girl of the Qiao family, who had been smooth sailing for more than ten years, suffered a catastrophe at the banquet:

The little girls from all the provinces got together and actually discussed in private, saying that the lowly medical girl who cured the stubborn illness of the prince of Shu was the eldest girl who had been lost by the Qiao family for many years.

Famous ladies, who have been living in the folk for many years, who knows what dirty things have happened? And now she is still serving by the man's side as a lowly medical woman.

This alone was enough to make Qiao Anran feel disgraced, but what made her even more devastating was that there were people who said that Qiao Mei was killed by her mother Yan, or that she had two lives.

Her eldest sister escaped from Qiao's Mansion in order to survive.

Now that she has returned to Beijing with the prince of Shu, she must be looking for revenge on Qiao Yan's family.

Qiao Anran finally understood why the people at today's banquet were strange when they looked at her, and even a few people who were very good in Su Ri avoided her.

Qiao Anran fainted on the spot and fell into Yuzuo's arms.

The Hou Mansion of Wu'an only came to Qiao's house a few days ago to make a small decision, and she was about to become the princess of the Hou Mansion.

If the rumors are true, her marriage will definitely not be saved.

Others think she is infinitely beautiful, but only she knows the bitterness.

Her father has not been concerned about the world for many years, and she has relied on her grandfather's family and her mother's good reputation in Luoyang.

The hands are slender and white, and every nail is full of pink color, Qiao Anran grabbed Yan and continued to ask with tears in his eyes:

"Mother, what they say isn't true, it's not true, is it?"

Her mother is the daughter of the highly respected Yan Ge Lao, the youngest daughter of her grandmother's most beloved daughter, and she is a well-known virtuous and virtuous person in Luoyang City, and it is impossible for her to do such a thing that loses her conscience.

Yan's face suddenly smiled, she slowly pushed Qiao Anran's hand away, and let her daughter fall to the ground, but she stood up, stared at her daughter condescendingly and sneered:

"It's true, what they say is true. Because as long as the Mei family is still alive, even if I have that holy decree, I will still be a concubine in the eyes of others, and you will always be a concubine in the eyes of others, and you will always be inferior.

Don't talk about the Hou Mansion, but anyone who has some fame in Luoyang will not marry you. ”

Qiao Anran was so stunned that she even forgot to cry, she sat on the ground, looked up at Yan in a daze, and her whole body trembled.

Yan Shi laughed, the laughter became louder and louder, and the people became more and more crazy, she even squatted down again, grabbed Qiao Anran's shoulders with both hands and gritted her teeth:

"Daughter, remember, if you want to keep everything you have, if you don't want to be an inferior person to be trampled on, you should follow me and your father to invite your big sister home.

Only in this way can our family, as well as your grandfather's family, survive this catastrophe.

As long as I get her home and put her in my hands, everything will be solved. ”

Qiao Anran finally came back to her senses, she broke free from Yan's hands in horror, and shook her head while crying and hiding back:

"No, it can't be, it won't, I don't want to go, I don't go."

The six-armed multi-claw lamp behind her was knocked over by Qiao Anran, and she fainted again.
