The little maid bowed and said timidly, "These were sent by the jewelry shop outside. The prince asked Miss Abei to choose and said she could choose whatever she wanted."
Mo Qingying's eyes sparkled with jealousy. She flicked her sleeves and turned to walk into Fengyao Pavilion.
In the main room, Su Bei was looking at the trays lined up as if she was choosing a concubine. She walked over to touch and look.
The little maid said, "The prince said that these are all fine products from various jewelry shops in the capital. Miss Abei, just pick the ones you like and keep them. You can choose as many as you want."
Su Meiya smacked her lips and thought that this was good enough. Although she didn't go after the murderer just to clear Chu Younan's name, it was a bargain for him in the end. She would have to extort money from him this time.
"Wen Xia and Bao Qiu, look at each other, which one is better?" Su Bei thought, these two people have been with him for a few months, they can be considered good friends, so naturally they should share the happiness.
Xia Baoqiu didn't know what she was thinking, and was still discussing which one was suitable for Abei, when Mo Qingying walked in gracefully and said in a stern tone, "Abei, you're back?"
Su Bei smiled faintly and saluted Mo Qingying. "My dear princess, I didn't see anyone coming to take me away this morning. I was just planning to go to bed for a while. How about asking them to come later?"
Mo Qingying waved at the maids, "Everyone, go down. Ah Bei and I have something to say."
The maids were all from the mansion, and they knew that even if the princess was not favored, she was still the only female master in the mansion, so they retreated with the trays.
Xia Baoqiu had no choice but to follow him out.
Mo Qingying then spoke: "Abei, I want to ask you, have you kept your promise to me?"
Su Bei bit her lip, looking embarrassed, "It's not that I didn't do it. I've sent snacks and given drugs before, but the prince has his own thoughts..."
"You've seduced him!" Mo Qingying shouted.
Su Bei's mouth twitched twice, "I really want to take the indenture and leave the house. Since you think I can't do it, why don't I just use the silver to redeem myself from you?"
Mo Qingying was furious, frowning and glaring at her, "Do you think I don't know? I gave you the indenture contract, and you ran back the moment I got it. You finally got on the big tree of Prince Su, how could you want to leave? Don't treat me like a three-year-old child!"
"Then tell me, what do you want me to do?" Su Bei was helpless. It wasn't that she didn't want to do this job, it was that Chu Younan just didn't want to pay attention to Mo Qingying. What could she do? !
Mo Qingying snorted coldly, "Either you give the prince the drug again, or you listen to my arrangements. You must remember this clearly, you are my person in life and my ghost in death. Even if the prince favors you, you are still my maid!"
Su Bei was a little impatient. She suppressed her anger and looked directly into Mo Qingying's eyes. "Princess, let me be honest. I can see that you are not happy in the palace. You are so beautiful that any man who marries you will treat you like a treasure. Why do you have to compromise?"
She just said which young man casually, but Mo Qingying thought of her cousin Huang Shi and the fool Lu Jiu. She is no longer a virgin, so who can treat her like a treasure in the palm of his hand?
She was angry and unwilling. She said angrily: "How can a maid like you interfere in my affairs? Do you think you know more than me just because you know a little about sex and making cakes and snacks? I ask you again, will you do it or not?!"
"I can't do it!" Su Bei said loudly, "Some things can be helped by outsiders, but some things can't be helped by outsiders. If the princess wants to sell me out, please do as you please. I can only advise that instead of wasting so much time and effort to please you, why not find another good man?!"
"Good! You're good! You challenged me!" Mo Qingying stretched out her hand and tapped her twice with her slender nails. "Abei! Now that I have said this, don't blame me for not giving you a chance in the future!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked out.
Su Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was now a person with a small amount of savings. If she really sold herself to someone else, she would not have to worry about redeeming herself. That way, she would be truly free.
only……
When asked about Xia Baoqiu, she felt a little reluctant to leave.
Although Guizi is a little silly, he is generally nice to her.
Ling Xiao is usually aloof, but he is quite interesting in women's clothing.
Chu Younan...he has been very generous recently, and seems to be doing well...
Su Bei quietly returned to her room, found the banknotes and hid them under her insole. If Mo Qingying sold her out, she would have to rely on these to make a living.
When she went out again, she saw the maid carrying the tray coming in again. This time, she silently selected two gold hairpins with gemstones. These things were not very practical, but they could be sold for money, and she might need them in the future.
——
Mo Qingying was so angry at Su Bei that she was half dead. All she could think about was that Su Bei wanted her to divorce and then take over.
She spat quietly. The position of princess was hard to come by. She was also hoping that Chu Younan would be able to achieve something in the future. Then she might be able to get the queen's seal.
A-Dong and Nanny Gui followed her quietly, neither of them dared to speak.
Passing by Lingfeng Pavilion, they saw Chu Younan dressed neatly and walking out. Mo Qingying greeted him and Chu Younan responded indifferently.
The two walked a distance away, and Ling Xiao was heard to say in a joyful voice: "My Lord! We finally caught that fellow Huang Shi..."
Mo Qingying's brain suddenly exploded.
She wondered if her affair with Huang Shi had been exposed? Was it because of this that Huang Shi was arrested? Chu Younan seemed to have glanced at her just now. What did that glance mean? Fortunately, Chu Younan had walked away at this time, and fortunately, Chu Younan was too lazy to listen to her thoughts.
But Mo Qingying was already in a panic. She didn't know how she got back to the Peony Pavilion. When she came to her senses, she saw Nanny Gui standing beside her.
"Mammy! Come back to the general's mansion with me!" Mo Qingying stood up hurriedly.
"Why do you suddenly want to go back?" Aunt Gui wondered.
Mo Qingying was so confused that she didn't have the energy to talk to her anymore. She said hurriedly, "Hurry up! I have to go back to see my mother!"
Her dowry was not generous to begin with, and she was only given a share when she arrived at the palace. She was not like Princess Mu, who was not devoted to her but had secret guards. Mo Qingying had no one to turn to, and no money to pay for anything, so she could only ask her mother for advice.
As soon as she returned to the general's mansion, she went straight to An's residence.
"Mom! Save me! Think of a way for your daughter quickly!" Mo Qingying said with trembling hands.
An looked at him coldly, "Why, didn't you get yourself some abortion pills when you went back? Haven't you gotten rid of that evil karma yet?"
"That's not it!" Mo Qingying's lips turned pale. "My daughter met her cousin Huang Shi a few days ago, and he...he..."
"Just tell me!" An said anxiously.
At this point, Mo Qingying had no way out. She could only say, "He saw my daughter buying abortion pills, so he had evil intentions and forcibly...defiled her!"
An took a few breaths and pointed at her, cursing, "You useless thing! You're a princess, but you haven't even had the pleasure of being with the prince. Instead, you've been slept with by those low-class bastards several times. You'd better not have your head anymore!"
Mo Qingying fell to her knees with a plop, hugged her mother's knees, and cried, "Mom! Save my daughter! Huang Shi was captured by the prince, I'm afraid..."
"I'm afraid your head is really gone!" An angry male voice came from the door.
Mo Qingying shuddered and turned around, only to see Mo Gaishi pushing the door open, his face full of anger.
