Chapter 730 Qiao Qinghe's Attitude
However, even at this point, Li Sanqi still didn't forget to dig a pit for her and stir up hatred. It's clear he was annoyed that she had brought so many people with her.
Hehe, among those present are the Princess Consort of Chu, the Princess Consort of Qi, the Lady Wen, the Lady Zheng, and at the very least, the Lady of Yongning Marquis and the Princess of Gaoping County.
They are all of higher status than her.
But this maid didn't ask anyone else for help, except for her.
Hehe, she wouldn't believe it if you said it wasn't Li Sanqi who ordered it.
Qiao Qinghe understood Li Sanqi perfectly, but on the surface she remained calm and composed, simply sitting quietly and watching the show, showing no intention of speaking.
Of course, it wasn't her turn to speak.
No sooner had Fu Wenqing finished speaking than Wenxi angrily shouted, "Let's see who dares!"
The crowd that had been huddled at the entrance, hesitant to come in, suddenly stopped even from showing their heads.
Seeing this, Wenxi glanced at the doorway with satisfaction before looking down at the kneeling maid on the ground. "Who are you? What did you mean by those words? Has something happened to Princess Huaiyang?"
The maid timidly raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Wenxi, without saying a word.
Then he lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and looked left and right with a slight arc.
Upon seeing Qiao Qinghe sitting in the third seat from the left, he quickly turned around, kowtowed to her, and pleaded, "Madam! Madam Qiao! Please help my princess! I beg you!"
If everyone could pretend not to hear the maid shouting that she wanted to see Old Madam Qiao before, this time, even a deaf or blind person could see that the maid was after Qiao Qinghe.
Good heavens, all of them combined are still no match for Qiao Qinghe?
Especially Wenxi, who was the Princess Consort of Chu, and was the one who took the initiative to inquire about the princess's situation.
As a result, this clueless maid actually treated him as if he didn't exist?
Why did they ignore Princess Chu and instead target Qiao Qinghe for help?
Wenxi's face visibly darkened.
Qiao Qinghe's expression also turned grim, and she said coldly, "You know me?"
The maid was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded: "I am a servant of the princess. I once accompanied the princess to the Qiao residence and had the honor of meeting the old lady."
"Being able to accompany the princess on her outings suggests that she is someone the princess trusts," Qiao Qinghe said calmly.
The maid nodded, "Yes."
Upon hearing the maid's admission, Qiao Qinghe's attitude immediately changed. "Since she is someone the princess trusts, don't you even recognize anyone here?"
The maid was about to speak.
Qiao Qinghe quickly retorted, "If you don't know her, how dare you claim to be the princess's confidante? Are you just some random person trying to mislead us and attract our attention?"
"Speak! Who ordered you to impersonate the princess's confidant? What is your purpose in impersonating her?"
Upon seeing this, Fu Wenqing was overjoyed and chimed in, "That's right! This maid doesn't even recognize the distinguished guests in the main seats; she's definitely not the princess's confidante!"
"How dare you impersonate the princess's confidant and offend a noble person! Guards! Drag him away and beat him to death!"
Upon hearing this, the maid, who had originally intended to say that she only knew Qiao Qinghe, immediately changed her tune to: "I know her! I know all the distinguished guests present!"
As if afraid that people wouldn't believe her, she quickly pointed to Wenxi and said, "This is the Princess Consort of Chu."
After saying that, she pointed to the others one by one and said, "This is Madam Wen of the Marquis of Yongchang's mansion, this is Princess Qi, this is Madam Zheng of the Duke of Jin's mansion..."
After she had identified everyone, Qiao Qinghe looked at her with a half-smile, "Since you know everyone here, why didn't you ask anyone else for help after you came in, but only asked me for help?"
"I……"
"Don't tell me you didn't know the others came too."
Qiao Qinghe spoke up again, reminding her, "If you didn't know we were coming beforehand, and didn't know we were here, how could you have found this place so 'accurately'?"
"And he even managed to 'barely' evade the pursuit of more than a dozen people!"
"Even if you really don't know, you've already come before these important people, so why don't you ask them for help?"
"Especially when the Princess Consort of Chu took the initiative to come forward and inquire about my situation, why did you ignore her and only focus on me?"
"I...I..." The maid was speechless after being bombarded with Qiao Qinghe's questions.
At this point, everyone present realized that something was wrong.
Wenxi slammed her hand on the table again and shouted angrily, "Aren't you going to tell the truth?"
The maidservant immediately trembled, her face turning deathly pale.
What on earth is going on?
Shouldn't they ask her what happened to the princess, then she would cry and tell her story, and then lead everyone to the princess's courtyard to seek justice for her?
Why would these dignitaries press her with questions that have nothing to do with the princess?
Qiao Qinghe smiled and then shut her mouth.
Seeing this, Madam Zheng smiled helplessly and shook her head.
She realized that Princess Huaiyang was unhappy that Qinghe had invited so many people, so she deliberately had the maid do this to trip Qinghe up and make her resented.
But this person was not one to suffer a loss; he insisted on getting to the bottom of things.
They really aren't going to give that girl Huaiyang any face at all!
It seems that Qinghe and Huaiyang have run into a big problem!
Thinking of this, my mood, which was originally one of watching the play, became somewhat heavy.
The maid could no longer withstand the immense pressure and said in a trembling voice, "It was the princess who ordered me to do this!"
Wenxi clearly didn't believe it and shouted, "Nonsense! Would the princess order you to ignore so many of us? Would the princess order you to specifically seek help from Old Madam Qiao?"
The maid was almost in tears, but she still told the truth: "It's true! Although I don't know why the princess gave such an order, it was really the princess who instructed me to ignore everyone else when I came to ask for help, and to only be respectful to Madam Qiao and ask Madam Qiao for help."
Wenxi was about to reprimand him when Yu Huanzhen scoffed and spoke first, "Hasn't Princess Consort of Chu figured it out yet?"
"Princess Huaiyang is unhappy that Old Madam Qiao has invited everyone to come and make a fool of herself, so she wants to draw everyone's hatred to Old Madam Qiao!"
Wenxi stared in astonishment, her mouth agape. After a long pause, she finally managed to say, "Isn't Huaiyang on very good terms with Old Madam Qiao? Why would he deliberately trip her up?"
Madam Wen had long noticed the problem from Qiao Qinghe's attitude, and seeing that Wenxi hadn't figured it out yet, she quickly pulled her along.
"Alright, now is not the time to worry about these trivial details."
Madam Wen dismissed the earlier incident with a single sentence, coldly looking at the maid and asking, "What was the meaning of your saving the princess just now? Has something happened to the princess?"
The maid breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded repeatedly, her voice trembling with tears, and said, "Madam, please go and save the princess!"
"The princess was stripped of her power in the mansion by her husband and imprisoned for many days. Now, now..."
"How is it now? Tell me quickly!" Madam Wen's brows furrowed with anxiety.
The others also looked anxious.
Yes, everyone looked anxious, but what they were really thinking was anyone's guess.
The maid didn't dare to keep them in suspense any longer. She paused symbolically for a moment, then, after building up her emotions, she cried out in tears, "Right now, the prince consort's parents are at the princess's residence with a girl, forcing the princess to agree to the prince consort taking a concubine!"
