Chapter 12 Be Patient and Be Patient
"She is the eldest princess after all." Qiu Xuan sneered, using a piece of seemingly plausible news to lure her into working for him.
But what else could she do? Now she only had this one path to choose.
Qiu Xuan turned the note over.
Ease the relationship between Feifei and Yunyang Marquis Mansion.
She tore it up and threw it into the incense burner, watching it turn into pale ash, the same ash as the note she had burned yesterday.
In this way, you can go out later.
Although it is unknown how the eldest princess will convince the old lady, since the eldest princess wants to use Qiu Xuan, she will not let her be trapped in the mansion like she has been for the past three years.
Qiu Xuan carefully applied the burn medicine. Her hand, which was hit on the table by the old lady, still hurt, but her fingers could still move, so she thought there was no serious problem.
The old lady would definitely compromise with the eldest princess. Just like today, even though she was furious, she didn't dare to do anything to Qiu Xuan.
The old lady was worried that her two children were not up to the task, and that raising the next generation would take years. If the Marquisate was to last long, it would require another person to work as diligently and diligently for it as she did, and she couldn't hold on for much longer.
After Jing Beian came back, the old lady did not try to suppress him. Even when she sent the princess to the back house, she let Qiu Xuan test her first.
At that time, Qiu Xuan suspected that the old lady was no longer able to handle the affairs of the mansion.
Maybe it's a worsening of the illness, or maybe it's something else.
Zhemei came today to give the tip-off, which also confirmed Qiuxuan's guess.
"Madam, I am Gan Tang." The little girl's clear voice came from outside.
"Come in."
The door opened a crack, and Gan Tang poked his head in: "Madam, I have someone here who wants to pay his respects to you."
In a large family, servants often know more than most of their masters.
Gan Tang had a good friend who was playful by nature. Even after being transferred to the princess's courtyard, she tried her best to sneak out. The blue bricks in the corner of the wall were prepared by her.
This was an unspoken secret among the servants. Gan Tang took out all the candies she had and finally persuaded her friend to forgive her.
Qiu Xuan stood up and told Gan Tang, "Let her rest assured. It won't affect her in any way."
That's what friends do, right? Help each other?
"Where is your wife going?"
"Go see the princess."
The princess's courtyard was exceptionally quiet, so quiet that even the crickets in the grass had stopped making any sound.
When Qiuxuan pushed the door open, Feifei was still crying.
When someone broke in, she yelled angrily, "You didn't even knock!"
"I'm afraid the princess won't let me in."
Feifei burst out laughing when she heard this, and then she lay down on the table and burst into tears.
"The eldest princess...she abandoned me in the Marquis' Mansion and ignored me."
"How could that be?" Qiu Xuan gently stroked her back. "It's just the circumstances."
"Tell me what the current situation is. If I don't understand, just explain it to me."
Feifei wiped her tears on Qiuxuan's sleeves.
"When we were in Liangzhou, they clearly discussed everything with me. But after coming to the Central Plains, they seemed like different people and didn't tell me anything."
"His Highness the Fourth Prince, too?"
"The princess won't let me see Jiang Jue." Feifei cried even harder. "She said that Jiang Jue has been crowned Prince of Lu and everyone is watching him, trying to find his flaws. The princess said that I can't become Jiang Jue's weakness."
This is a good excuse, Qiu Xuan thought.
"I understand the logic, but why can't I even pass on a message? I was the last to know about marrying into the Marquis' Mansion. Why didn't you tell me? For Jiang Jue, I can endure it."
Feifei cried incoherently, talking about Jiang Jue and then the eldest princess.
"The princess seems like a different person."
"How could that be?"
Feifei suddenly grabbed Qiuxuan and said, "She said, 'I can see Jiang Jue and marry him, but I want to abort the child. If I want to protect the child, I can't see Jiang Jue.' How can this be justified?"
According to the Xiao family's rules, Xiao Mianzhi's child must be the eldest.
Feifei stroked her abdomen and gradually calmed down: "I can't leave him."
She raised her head and looked at Qiu Xuan pitifully: "Will Jiang Jue forget me?"
"He missed you."
"Don't lie to me."
"It's true. I saw him in the palace the day before yesterday, and he asked us to take care of you."
I might as well lie to you, Qiu Xuan thought. If Jiang Jue is heartless, he will be good to Fei Fei. Or, she can also lie to Fei Fei and say that Jiang Jue doesn't want to see you again.
But she couldn't lie.
"I knew Jiang Jue wasn't that kind of person." Feifei clutched her belly tightly. "He won't ignore me. I want to see him, I want to see him!"
It's almost time to say it, a voice in Qiu Xuan's heart urged.
She bit her lip and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"Why do you want to apologize?" Feifei looked at Qiu Xuan in confusion.
"I thought you could see the Fourth Prince as long as you went to the Princess's Mansion. I thought you left the Marquis' Mansion..."
"I'm the one who should be sorry!" Feifei hugged Qiuxuan tightly, "I clearly promised you to take you away from the Marquis' Mansion, but I ran away by myself and even got you beaten."
"The old lady just gave me a lecture. Who said that?"
"Pruning willows."
She is the maidservant beside the old lady.
"She even poured hot water on you." Feifei pouted and was about to cry again.
"It doesn't hurt, don't cry." Qiu Xuan patted her back. "The old lady was just angry that we ran away secretly. Didn't Her Royal Highness the Princess send someone to come? With the Princess's intercession, the old lady won't blame me anymore."
"I've made up my mind." Feifei looked at Qiuxuan's red and swollen hands and suddenly said seriously, "From now on, you will be my best friend, the person I trust the most."
"Except Jiang Jue." She added quickly.
"What are you going to do?"
Feifei's eyes sparkled: "I want to see Jiang Jue, I want to enter the palace, and I want to bring my child with me. I can't give Jiang Jue to anyone else."
"Qiu Xuan, you will help me, right?" She looked at Qiu Xuan with fighting spirit. "The eldest princess told me a lot, and I know what happened in your family. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will definitely clear your family's name."
"Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe him." Feifei said, grabbing Qiuxuan's hand and placing it on her lower abdomen. "Did you hear what he said? He said he wanted to take back everything that belonged to him."
The sun was setting and the orange-red light shone on the two people's clasped hands.
"The most urgent thing is to find a way for you to meet the Fourth Prince."
The afterglow faded, burying Qiuxuan's face in deep blue.

Qiu Xuan lit the lamp, and the mirror in front of her reflected a tired face.
The face forced a smile.
“Is this exploitation?”
She clearly didn't hide anything from Feifei, but she felt like she was hiding everything.
But she wanted more than just her family's innocence. She also wanted her mother's title to be restored, and her sisters to be able to enter the Imperial College and fight for the future that was rightfully theirs.
She couldn't wait for the eldest princess to give her vague news, she had to find her family as soon as possible.
Jiang Jue is a good breakthrough point. The more incapable he is of handling the responsibility, the more he needs the halo of being the queen's son.
Clear the queen's reputation, save the loyal ministers who protect the queen, and gain the loyalty of the loyal ministers.
Qiu Xuan clenched his fists.
"I can do that."
*
At the hour of Yin, a thousand miles away.
The place where the sea and the sky meet has turned white, and the fishermen use this little light to push their fishing boats into the water.
The tide was low today, and they pushed for a long time, until dawn.
They looked up to confirm their direction, but were puzzled to find that the rising sun was not where it should be.
It hangs on the sea in the west, dazzling and eye-catching.
