"So flustered? Speak slowly."
Yuan Xueyue waved her hand, signaling the maid to pour tea for Zhong Wulian, but Zhong Wulian didn't dare to sit down.
The maid came over and helped her up.
Zhong Wulian was just a girl of twelve or thirteen. She had finally escaped from the cage-like Zhong Mansion and was helped by a benefactor from the palace who brought her to meet the princess. How could she dare to drink tea?
"No, no, no, I dare not!" Zhong Wulian said repeatedly with her head down.
"You're welcome. You should explain your mother's affairs in detail, right?"
After saying that, Yuan Xueyue approached Zhong Wulian, personally took her hand to warm her, and asked softly,
"How is it? How is your mother Xu?"
Zhong Wulian looked at Yuan Xueyue, tears in her eyes, and knelt down again, "Princess! Please save my mother!"
"She was humiliated!"
Yuan Xueyue was shocked. "Where do I even begin?"
Half a year ago, everything sounded fine, and Xu even said she wanted a divorce. Now that the divorce hasn't happened, how come things are even worse?
Indeed, divorce means severing the long-standing relationship between the two families, which cannot be resolved overnight.
Throughout history, wealthy families have been the most particular about respectability. Divorce is generally difficult to succeed unless the debts are settled after the death of the person or there is really no love left.
How can a couple still go through the trouble of getting a divorce when they already have children?
"Where is your father, Uncle Zhong?" Yuan Xueyue asked.
Zhong Wulian cried, "After my grandfather passed away, my father became depressed and kept causing trouble for my mother!"
"Half a year ago, it was the first time my mother asked you for help, Princess, but it wasn't obvious."
"The Zhong Mansion is now in dire straits. We can no longer bear it."
"In less than a month, the Qing government will be announced."
"Mother wants to divorce, which is even more difficult! My eldest brother and second brother have also met with trouble..."
After Zhong Wulian finished explaining, Yuan Xueyue was stunned for a long time.
This half-year event is indeed a big one.
Yuan Xueyue thought about it for a while, then pulled her up and said, "Don't be sad, Miss Lian. I will do my best to help you."
Zhong Wulian was delighted, and a light flashed in her eyes. "Really?"
"Wait, Aunt? No, Princess, absolutely not! How dare I neglect you!"
Ju Nian'er saw this and said happily,
"Don't worry! Auntie will help you. We all call her Auntie. Your mother must be like a sister to Auntie, so she is naturally Auntie."
Yuan Xueyue smiled and said, "Since you called me, I must admit it. Madam Zhong and I met too late. We haven't interacted much in recent years, but we communicate well. I appreciate her difficulties, and she also envies my past."
"In fact, it's just that every family is different, and every family has a difficult scripture to recite."
"There's no such thing as someone envying someone else. It's always been like that. Just think of it as offering your mother assistance. Don't be polite."
Yuan Xueyue said this and waved her hand to signal her to get up.
It won’t look good if you pull it up again.
Zhong Wulian hesitated, then looked up at Yuan Xueyue's gentle face. For the first time, he saw the dawn of light, which was so warm and amiable!
"I..." Zhong Wulian couldn't shout out anything, so she stood up obediently and lowered her head.
"aunt!"
As soon as the words were spoken, footsteps sounded along with the shouts. Ju Changsong quickly entered the small hall in the main courtyard of the palace and saw that they were all there.
Ju Changsong, who had just finished communicating with the prince, left and went outside the mansion to find the coachman.
When he asked how to get to Zhong's house, he didn't know that the driver had been sent away by Xiao Zhao.
Ju Changsong had nowhere to look for them, so he had to go back to the backyard and saw them.
He walked in very quickly like a gust of wind, blowing in front of Zhong Wulian, stunning her eyes!
"My benefactor!"
When Zhong Wulian saw Ju Changsong, she immediately knelt down and saluted, saying, "The princess has agreed to help my mother! Thank you!"
Ju Changsong was slightly startled, but quickly reacted. He looked at Yuan Xueyue and smiled, "Auntie is always so approachable."
Those who are destined to be with you will help you!
I’m afraid that before coming in just now, Ju Changsong thought of something!
"Miss Lian, please go out first. There's no rush. The people from the Zhong Mansion should be looking for you. How about we take you to the Zhong Mansion tomorrow morning?"
Ju Changsong narrowed his eyes slightly, and Yuan Xueyue understood something instantly.
Yuan Xueyue urged, causing Zhong Wulian to be surprised. "Tomorrow morning? ...Okay, thank you, Princess!"
Zhong Wulian was taken away by the maid, and the small hall became quiet.
"What's wrong, Changsong?" Yuan Xueyue asked puzzledly.
Ju Nian'er, who was asking the question, also became curious!
Ju Changsong looked around and saw no one important, so he whispered, "Aunt, before I brought her back, I also encountered the servants of the Zhong Mansion. I'm afraid..."
Yuan Xueyue frowned, "Isn't it inappropriate to take action at this time?"
"It was inappropriate for Prince Xian to attack you back then, and it was also inappropriate to attack your concubine at the right time. Even though it seems inappropriate, we must still attack."
"Because this is the last chance."
After hearing this, Ju Changsong nodded and said, "I know. I'm just afraid I'll have to bring more people with me tomorrow to prevent an ambush from the Zhong Mansion!"
The reason why such a thing happened in the Zhong Mansion was that there were spies from the imperial court who instigated and colluded with them, causing it to fall apart and deliberately involving them!
Ju Changsong knew this clearly, and after negotiating with his uncle these days, he understood a lot!
Yuan Xueyue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Changsong, I didn't expect you to understand this."
"I haven't been with you for these years, and I've learned so many things. It's a pity that I can't be with you."
Ju Changsong was touched and smiled.
"Even so, you are still my most beloved aunt. Please allow me to honor you in the future!"
"Don't shirk responsibility. This is a belief I must uphold!"
"It was you who pulled me out of the abyss, and it was you who had such a keen eye. Changsong, I will remember you forever!"
When Ju Nian'er heard this, she also raised her head and insisted, "Nian'er too!"
If it weren't for my aunt's help, they would have been plotted against by the emperor sooner or later in the Guo Mansion!
It's just a matter of time!
Aunt Lin will also get rid of Ju Niuer as soon as possible!
At that time, wouldn't it be easy to deal with the troublesome Ju Changsong and the threatening Ju Nian'er?
Even in the hands of the immortal emperor, he would become a soul under Aunt Lin's command!
"you……"
Yuan Xueyue felt a little sour in her nose, and suddenly she reached out and embraced them both!
"Okay, you all have to be good, Miss Lian too. Her mother suffered just as Aunt Ju did. Let's take action together tomorrow?"
"It's time for Nian'er to see it too." You can see the world and see the power of the palace!
Yuan Xueyue said with relief, "Prepare the horses and guards, and set off tomorrow morning!"
The chrysanthemum grows along the pine road,
"Should I tell my uncle?"
Yuan Xueyue: "That's fine. Tell him so he won't worry."
Ju Changsong smiled, thinking that his uncle would not give it to him!
He didn't expect that his uncle really loved his aunt so much, which made him feel much more relieved.
