“Father, I was also doing this to help the Crown Princess.”
Yu Xiaoxiao knew that she had to emphasize her value at this time, otherwise her father would really abandon her.
With a loud slap, another hand landed, and Lord Yu was so angry that his beard bristled: "You still dare to talk nonsense? This letter was sent from the Crown Prince's residence."
"I... I really was helping the Crown Princess... By the way, you can ask Chi Qingqing. The two of us were together. It was the Crown Princess who said it herself."
As she spoke, she turned around and went to pull Chi Qingqing, who was in the same cell as her.
"Qingqing, tell my father right away!"
Chi Qingqing looked at Lord Yu, whose face was dark and gloomy, and suddenly felt sorry for Yu Xiaoxiao.
Even though her father was an official, he didn't respect her at all.
I am much happier here.
Her maternal grandmother rushed over day and night upon hearing the news. She has been busy these past few days, though with little effect.
"She's telling the truth!"
Chi Qingqing still testified for Yu Xiaoxiao.
"However, we've been used as pawns. Whether the Crown Princess will step in to help is anyone's guess!"
In any case, she didn't expect the Crown Princess's side to help her. It would be better to rely on her maternal grandmother than to rely on her.
"Hmph, that only proves you're all stupid."
"You are being imprisoned this time because of General Wu's orders, so you should stay here obediently."
Would Lord Yu dare to oppose the Wu family? The answer is no.
He ignored Yu Xiaoxiao until he was far away, at which point Yu Xiaoxiao squatted on the ground and began to sob.
"She's ignoring me, and Ruo Mengyao isn't helping me either. I'm doomed."
Chi Qingqing was also feeling bad. At first, she thought that with her grandmother around, she would be able to leave soon.
Five days have passed, and there's still no news. Remembering how difficult Han Luoxue was, she felt uncertain about the situation.
That damned Han Luoxue! Yesterday, my maternal grandmother said that our family was willing to pay ten thousand taels of silver to get her out, but that Han Luoxue actually dared to covet our family's Sixiu Pavilion.
She doesn't even consider her own worth. Can she embroider? Does she even understand embroidery? Even if they did get it, could they manage it well?
What a greedy woman.
Chi Qingqing huddled in a corner, hugging her knees, unsure when she would be able to get out.
He had no interest in paying attention to Yu Xiaoxiao, who was having a breakdown.
Do you think Mengyao will come to save us?
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
"I'm not even familiar with her, how would I know?"
"If we had known, we wouldn't have come. Actually, I've met Han Luoxue a few times before, and she's always been very difficult to deal with."
She must have been out of her mind. How could she possibly think that she could handle a woman who could make even the Crown Princess suffer?
Yu Xiaoxiao is now filled with regret. Her father doesn't care about her anymore, saying that even General Wu has intervened, so now the only one who can save her is probably Crown Princess Mengyao.
But that person...
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Chi Qingqing, who was hiding in a corner, back in the same position with her knees drawn up to her chest, unusually quiet.
"Qingqing..."
She stood up, still feeling a little dizzy. Her father's slap had really hit her hard.
"Qingqing, did you hear? General Wu has made a move. Under normal circumstances, it will be very difficult for us to get out."
Actually, Yu Xiaoxiao could still pull some strings. After all, those men in black had nothing to do with her.
It's a pity her father is a trouble-averse person. If it were his favorite son, he would have thought of a way to help and pull some strings, but it's her, this money-losing girl...
"What do you mean?"
Chi Qingqing was also very uneasy these past two days. As time went by, she had a very bad feeling.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just think we should send another message to Mengyao, and you can tell your family about what happened this time!"
"If Mengyao decides to abandon us, we can also send your family out to look for her."
“Qingqing, our family is all here, did you see? If she wanted to interfere, her people would have come long ago, but now…”
Yu Xiaoxiao had spent a long time with Mengyao and knew her very well, so she was extremely worried about her.
You mean?
"Han Luoxue hasn't done anything wrong after all. If people find out that she's being targeted by the Crown Princess for no reason, what do you think people will think of Mengyao?"
"We need to work together now, understand?"
Chi Qingqing nodded, but it was clear that their prison was quite lively today.
Seeing the person approaching, Chi Qingqing couldn't help but let her tears roll down her cheeks:
"mother."
"Hmph, so you still know how to call me 'Mom'? How did you end up here?"
Chi Ling'er also arrived. She had to come; the two old folks hadn't settled things yet, and the Chi family's business was passed down to daughters, not sons.
In fact, it's all the same to her. She only has one daughter, Chi Qingqing. If she doesn't come to rescue her daughter, how can she let the Sixiu Pavilion's business die out in her hands?
Or perhaps it'll just end up being her brother's. Hmph, she worked so hard to get this; she doesn't want to let that man have it.
Chi Ling'er looked at her daughter coldly; she hadn't expected her daughter to be so useless.
"Mother, I..."
Chi Qingqing felt wronged. It was her mother who told her to get along well with Mengyao, and she was just listening to her mother.
“Your father and I asked around for you. This matter is a bit troublesome, but it’s alright. I’ll go see that man tomorrow.”
"Qingqing, use your brain more in the future. It's best not to get involved in things you're not sure about, understand?"
Although Chi Ling'er was angry, this was her own child, and she only had one. What could she do?
In her opinion, this was not a big deal.
She had met Han Luoxue before, and she disliked her from the first time she saw her.
"Mother, do you have anything to eat? I'm starving. They haven't given us any food here for the past few days."
The snacks were the same ones that Old Madam Chi brought the first time she came, but her stomach had been growling with hunger for a long time.
"They won't let you bring it in. Just hold on for a bit, and Mom will ask around for you later."
Seeing the concerned look in Chi Ling'er's eyes, Yu Xiaoxiao felt a lump in her throat. This was a mother, this was family. But hers...
She thought that when her father came to visit her, he wouldn't even give her any food; instead, he would slap her across the face.
Why are other people's parents so kind, while mine is so heartless?
Chi Ling'er didn't rush over to find anyone. She first met with Old Madam Chi and the others to learn about the situation over the past few days.
"In that case, the most crucial person is Han Luoxue's mother, Yunniang."
Chi Ling'er frowned in disgust: "You've been there several times already, but haven't you found that woman even once?"
"Yes, she was never there."
"Hehe, Mother, you're getting senile. You went to their house and didn't see Yunniang, nor at the breeding farm. Don't you feel something's wrong?"
