Chapter 83, The token of the mistress's identity

"Yes."

Zhong Youyan looked at Xie Jinqiu with a smile.

Xie Jinqiu looked at Li and his elder brother with despair as they left.

"Husband, let's go back to our own yard." Zhong Youyan's voice reached his ears, and Xie Jinqiu was trembling with fear.

However, he had no martial arts skills and was restrained by Zhong Youyan, so he could only follow her footsteps back to the room.

As soon as the door was closed, painful groans came again.

This torture lasted all night.

Xie Jinqiu's eyes were red, staring at the sleeping couple in the inner room.

But after a few months of marriage, the torture of him stopped.

His wife never let him touch.

In fact, today it got even worse, and she got entangled with a secret guard in front of him.

He was tied up in the house by Zhong Youyan, and then he listened to the laughter and quarrels coming from the inner room, and he was in great pain.

He was going crazy!

///

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and in the vast snowy world, a maid stood hesitantly in the snow, saying that she wanted to see the eldest grandmother.

Liu Wan asked Panchun, "That seems to be Mama Qing who served the old lady before?"

Panchun nodded, "Yes, after the old lady was confined last time, she returned to the palace, bribed the housekeeper with money, and got a rough job. Now she comes to you, and I don't know why!"

Liu Wan didn't want to take care of the servants' affairs.

But the little girl in her arms was not calm again. She looked up at her mother and said eagerly, "See...see her."

[This woman had done many bad things for Lao Deng in the past.]

[It would be great if she could be bribed by her mother, so that she could pry out a shocking secret.]

Liu Wan said to Panchun, "It's cold outside, let her come in."

Panchun went out as ordered, but was stopped by Liu Wan again, "Give her a hot pot."

Panchun was confused, but she did it anyway.

Arriving in the warm room, Mother Qing returned the hot pot in her hand to Panchun, her eyes slightly moist.

She said to Liu Wan, "Grandma, I have something to give you. It's about Aunt Xu."

As soon as she said this, Liu Wan gave Panchun a look, and Panchun immediately closed the door and asked someone to guard outside.

Mother Qing took out a purse from her arms and handed it to Liu Wan.

Liu Wan opened it, and inside was a piece of moon-shaped mutton-fat jade of extremely fine quality.

"What is this?" She was a little stunned. "

I don't know either. It's just that someone gave me money and asked me to deliver the things to you... That person said that it was picked up from the ruins of the collapsed border town, and it should be related to the Xu family who used to live there..."

Mother Qing replied.

These were all words she had thought of in advance, so they made sense.

As for who the grandmother wanted to know, that was her own business.

Liu Wan suddenly realized something. She concealed her excitement and said to Mother Qing, "Thank you so much for this time, Panchun, bring me some golden melon seeds."

Mother Qing was flattered and quickly stretched out her hands to receive them.

A handful of golden melon seeds is the food for her family for half a lifetime.

This grandmother is much more generous than the old lady. How could she be so blind as to help the old lady harm the grandmother?

Mother Qing felt a sense of regret in her heart.

Liu Wan took the opportunity to say, "With your qualifications, Mama Qing, every housekeeper in this courtyard should be headed by you. I will talk to the mistress someday and ask her to change your job to an easier one. Look at you, your hands are all frostbitten."

That was from washing clothes in the middle of winter.

Even if she didn't touch cold water, she would still grimace in pain at night, not to mention that she had to wash clothes in icy water now.

Mama Qing couldn't hold it back for a moment.

She knelt down to Liu Wan and kowtowed, "Grandma, please forgive me. I will be grateful to you forever."

She had been with the old lady for almost a lifetime, and ended up like this.

On the contrary, Liu Wan, who had been harmed by her, treated her like this. She felt guilty and grateful.

Liu Wan handed the baby to Panchun and went to help Mother Qing up.

"Get up, the ground is cool."

Mother Qing had tears in her eyes when she left.

Xia Wanwan was playing with the jade pendant in her hand. She looked thoughtful and suddenly remembered something.

"Mother... jade... is not good."

This piece of jade is not good.

[Ahhh, I remember it.]

[There is a plot like this. When the envoy of Nanmei Kingdom came to Beijing for the first time, he was robbed by mountain bandits. The eldest princess of Nanmei Kingdom fell off a cliff and was rescued by Xu Bo. Xu Bo took the opportunity to defile her...]

[This jade pendant was described in detail by the author, so I remembered it as soon as I saw it.]

[It was not left by the eldest princess of Nanmei Kingdom at all. Xu Bo imprisoned her for two years and confiscated everything on her. 】

Liu Wan frowned and took the jade pendant from her hand.

It was indeed a royal thing.

But it was impossible for a princess of a country to not hate being imprisoned and defiled by a country bumpkin for two years.

After the princess was rescued, why would she let Xu Bo's family go? This was unreasonable.

"Mother...father...babbling."

The little guy looked at her and babbled incoherently. Liu Wan understood from her inner voice.

【Later, the late emperor sent people to rescue the princess, and the person sent to deal with the Xu family was my grandfather, Marquis Jing'an. 】 【

My grandfather stole the show and saved them. 】

As for why, Xia Wanwan couldn't figure it out.

After that, the Xu family and Marquis Jing'an's mansion became good friends.

There was such a origin.

Liu Wan suddenly understood why everyone in the mansion was on Xu Rourou's side.

She stroked the jade pendant in her hand and wondered who was silently helping her behind the scenes.
