Chapter 696 The couple went to a hot spring.
Ling'er replied, "She is the daughter of Magistrate Xu from Ruan County."
Yu'er shook her head, "I had no idea that this magistrate had a daughter."
Ling'er lowered her voice and whispered, "She is the daughter of Magistrate Xu's mistress, so very few people know about her."
"The mistress's daughter..." Yu'er lowered her voice and continued, "Why would she want to harm your sister?"
Ling'er thought for a moment and then looked at the embroidery frame. "I remember she came here that day wanting my sister to embroider a piece of embroidery, but after looking at the patterns on this embroidery frame, her expression changed."
"What pattern?" Yu'er asked.
Ling'er replied seriously, "It's that red wedding dress with phoenixes embroidered on it."
Yu'er seemed to gradually understand something. The only people who could embroider phoenixes on this wedding dress, besides the empress, were of course the princess.
Miss Xu guessed the owner of the embroidery, and naturally guessed Yu'er's identity as well.
Ling'er slowly said, "This Miss Xu has always been unable to bear seeing my sister do well. Now that my sister has connections with the royal family, she naturally cannot tolerate it. So she deliberately sent my sister's portrait to Manager Liu, luring him here."
"Also, Your Highness, I think she was involved in Manager Liu's kidnapping of my sister."
Yu'er stood up, a hint of coldness clearly appearing in her eyes. "What do you mean?"
Ling'er replied, "When the prince is not here, my sister stays at home and rarely goes out, so Manager Liu naturally cannot come to arrest people."
“That day I went out to make purchases, and Miss Xu impersonated me and wrote a letter to that sister, asking her to go to the tavern in the south of the county. That’s how Manager Liu got the opportunity.”
Yu'er was furious after hearing this, "I will never let this Miss Xu go."
The Zhou family never causes trouble, but if someone crosses them, they won't let it go.
"Ling'er, go and deliver a letter to that Miss Xu. I want to see her."
Ling'er asked in confusion, "Your Highness, what do you want?"
"Such a despicable woman should naturally be taken to see the officials."
Ling'er immediately understood and nodded, "Yes, Your Highness, I'll go right away."
After she finished speaking, she did as Yu'er suggested and actually wrote a letter to that Miss Xu.
Miss Xu was overjoyed when she received the letter, thinking that the prince had also seen her. She happily began to dress up.
As instructed in the letter, they arrived at a pavilion outside Ruan County.
She had only been there a short time when a group of soldiers rushed over.
Yu'er didn't come at all; instead, it was the soldiers who had been waiting there.
"Miss Xu, you colluded with Manager Liu to forcibly abduct a young woman. Do you admit to this crime?" the leading magistrate asked sternly.
Ms. Xu originally planned to leave the area by boat after the incident, but she did not expect the soldiers to arrive so quickly.
She was filled with regret, wishing she hadn't listened to what was said and come here.
She looked at the magistrate and continued to argue, "Your Honor, I'm innocent! I've never done anything like that! Manager Liu's matter has nothing to do with me!"
Before the magistrate arrived, Yu'er had told him about this matter. He scolded her, "Miss Xu, stop lying. Manager Liu has already given instructions. Come with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, ordering the soldiers to take Miss Xu away.
No matter how much Miss Xu struggled, it was all in vain.
Yu'er and Ling'er watched from afar, and after Miss Xu was taken away in the prison cart, they followed her away.
After dealing with Manager Liu and Miss Xu, Yu'er took Qin'er and her family to the capital.
Yu'er has a large mansion in the capital, which was a royal residence bestowed upon him by Yi'er.
The Prince's mansion was very large. When Qin'er and Ling'er entered the mansion, they were so surprised that they couldn't stand up straight.
Yu'er sent three or four maids to lead the two of them into the mansion.
He smiled from the moment he entered the room. "Qin'er, you and Ling'er can stay in the South Garden for now. After some time, you can move to the East Garden."
He needs to make proper arrangements for the East Garden first.
Qin'er was much better and was very happy at the thought of being able to continue living with her younger sister.
Her parents have both passed away, and her younger sister is her closest relative.
Yu'er had thought all this through. That night, he hosted a banquet at the Prince's Mansion to treat the two sisters well, and also mentioned the wedding dress, "Qin'er, my sister really likes the wedding dress you embroidered. She asked me to come and thank you properly."
Qin'er smiled gently and said, "If she likes them, that's good. I'll embroider a few more pairs of shoes in a few days, and you can send them to her."
Yu'er served her some food and said, "You've only just recovered, there's no rush to embroider."
Qin'er shook her head, "I have nothing to do at home, and embroidery isn't tiring. I'll take my time."
Yu'er knew that she liked embroidery, so it was impossible for her not to do it. She replied, "Okay, take your time. If you feel unwell, put it down and rest immediately."
Qin'er also put some food on his plate. "Yes, I know."
Ling'er watched as her sister found someone she liked, and she was deeply moved. She ate her meal while smiling.
The once empty palace gradually came alive with the arrival of the two women.
Xiao Yu'er also learned from her father to take care of and be considerate of her beloved.
Qin'er was a very sensible girl. When she heard that Mianmian liked her embroidery, she embroidered several pairs of shoes for her as soon as she recovered. She also embroidered several handkerchiefs for Du Wanchun as a way of thanking her for her help back then.
After receiving the items, Yu'er sent them to Changliu Village along with the letter.
Du Wanchun received the letter and the embroidery ten days later.
The embroidery was exquisite, and Du Wanchun held it in her hands, admiring it. She carefully placed it aside and took out the letter to read.
