Chapter 874 Let Xier have no worries
Yan Qing, who was far away in Beijing, had no idea that the two old guys hit it off and had already made clear arrangements for her second spring.
Even the decoration of the garden where the two will live after they get married has been discussed.
The only thing they haven't reached a consensus on is who will help take care of the baby in the future.
Yan Yichuan: "Whoever gave birth should take care of it."
Huangfu Huai: "That's great. I don't have any children, and I'd love to have two more grandchildren."
Yan Yichuan: "Shameless!"
The two old men were cursing each other, and it was very lively.
Yan Qing naturally didn't know this, but even if she knew, she had no time to care about it right now.
Listening to Zhuzhi's details about the visitor from the palace, her face grew darker, and she frowned as she asked, "Girl, did Xier say anything else to you?"
Zhuzhi didn't dare to hide anything and told her everything Song Yanxi had told her.
The more Yan Qing listened, the darker his expression grew. His nails dug into the armrests of the chair, and he murmured, "This kid, why won't he tell me anything?"
Hearing that her tone was wrong, Zhuzhi hurriedly said: "My aunt, you are worrying too much. When the young lady heard that something happened to the prince, she left the pharmacy and went straight out of the house.
The Third Master was also waiting at the gate for the young lady, so he had time to talk to her.
Her words did not make Yan Qing feel better, but made her even more upset, wondering why she had not been with her daughter at that time.
Thinking of Song Yanxi's instructions, she ordered in a deep voice: "Hurry up and tell Bai'er to take a few people to the Jinwang Mansion and be sure to pick up Jiaojiao.
If the servants around are worried, just bring him here; it will be better to keep him under our supervision."
Yan Qing couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, "We can't help much with what's going on outside. We can only do our best to make sure Xi'er has no worries."
Zhuzhi forced a smile and comforted her, "Don't worry too much, Auntie. The prince and the young lady are blessed by fate and will definitely return safely."
Yan Qing shook his head, but didn't explain much. He just said, "Good boy, go find Bai'er quickly and bring that little girl back. Only then will I feel relieved."
Looking at Zhuzhi's departing figure, she murmured, "I hope everything is still in time."

"Waste!"
After hearing that the servants had been gone for a long time, only to be taken away by the servants of Yan's mansion, Princess Huayang got angry for once.
Catching a glimpse of the murderous intent in her eyes, Yun Que stepped forward and kicked her in the chest.
The maidservant didn't even have time to beg for mercy before she vomited blood and fainted.
"Crash!" Princess Huayang flicked her sleeves, and the bottles and jars on the dressing table fell to the ground.
Yunque raised his hand, and immediately two guards came in with their heads lowered and quickly dragged the maid away.
Looking at the hideous-looking woman in the bronze mirror, Princess Huayang was stunned for a moment.
She turned to look at Yun Que and asked in a hoarse voice, "Am I no longer myself?"
Yun Que stepped forward, straightened the golden hairpin on her head, and said respectfully, "No matter when, in my heart, Your Highness the Princess is always the most noble woman in the world."
Princess Huayang smiled coldly, "You have a clever tongue that is always good at pleasing me."
Yu Que lowered her eyes, "Princess, please understand. Everything I said is true."
Looking at the white hair that was almost impossible to cover, she said, "The princess' hair is messy. I will comb it for her."
Princess Huayang remained silent, staring silently at their reflections in the bronze mirror. Suddenly, she said, "Yuque, I'm getting old."
Yun Que picked up the jade comb beside her and replied as she had done a thousand times before, "Princess, she is in her prime, how could she possibly be old?"
Princess Huayang smiled and asked, "If you didn't think I was old, how dare you play tricks on me?"
"Bang!" The jade comb in Yunque's hand fell to the ground and broke into three pieces.
She hurried to pick it up, and then she heard Princess Huayang's cold voice say, "If it's useless, just throw it away."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman's shrill scream was heard in the yard.
The screams cut through the rain, making people feel extremely frightened.
Yunque bent down to pick up the pieces of the jade comb, put them on the table and pieced them together.
But just like Princess Huayang said just now, useless things should be thrown away directly.
No matter how hard she tried, the jade comb that was broken into three pieces could never be put back together.
Yun Que slowly raised her head, met the pair of eyes in the mirror that were filled with a faint smile, and said, "Princess, you have changed."
Hearing this, Princess Huayang stopped smiling and asked quietly, "Didn't you just say that no matter what I look like, I will always be the same in your eyes?"
Skylark lowered his eyes and chose to remain silent.
She had served the princess for many years and knew that no matter what answer she gave at this moment, she would not be satisfied.
Rather than saying too much and making more mistakes, and exhausting the last bit of affection between master and servant, it is better to let it go.
At least, some dignity can be retained.
Princess Huayang looked at her reflection in the bronze mirror, her voice tinged with disappointment, "Yuque, you should know that I have never treated you as a slave.
But why do you have to stoop so low as to sympathize with the lives of those ants?"
The kick she just gave seemed fierce, but in fact it left room for maneuver.
After years of being a master and servant, she couldn't understand why Skylark would play such a trick right under her nose for such an insignificant slave.
She knew it better than anyone else, but she hated deception and betrayal, especially from people around her.
But she still chose to do so.
Princess Huayang snapped, "Look at me!"
Yun Que slowly raised her head, met her furious eyes, and asked word by word, "Princess, what do you think this servant is?"
After that, there was a long silence in the room.
After a long while, Princess Huayang asked coldly, "Do you think I'm equating you with those lowly servants?"
Yun Que shook her head, "The princess treats servants differently."
Hearing this, the eldest princess's expression eased slightly.
But the next moment, she heard Yun Que's voice calmly say: "But this servant does not think that I am any different from those little girls below.
In the final analysis, we slaves are here to serve the princess and please her."
Princess Huayang frowned, "Are you blaming me?"
Yun Que lowered her eyes, "I dare not."
It’s that they dare not, not that they don’t have the courage.
If their identities were switched today, she would never give this answer.
Princess Huayang was well aware of this.
She couldn't help but sneer, "A few days ago, I just punished a maid who was incompetent. She happened to be from the same hometown as you. It's not worth it for you to get angry with me for such a small thing."
Not missing the disdain in her tone, Yun Que pursed his lips but remained silent.
She originally wanted to tell the princess that Xue'er was her sworn sister, and the two of them had agreed not to marry or have children in this life, and to live together and take care of each other when they were old.
She had even chosen the courtyard where she would live in her future retirement, just waiting for the princess to achieve her great ambitions and retire.
But she suddenly remembered that she had said something privately to Xueer.
In this mansion, nothing can hide from the eldest princess's eyes.
Yun Que took a deep breath, raised her eyes to meet Princess Huayang's angry gaze, and asked coldly, "Princess, do you really not know that Xue'er and I are sisters?"
