Chapter 597 Someone Wants to Be a Concubine in the Prince of Yue's Mansion?
Li Qingluo finished speaking in a calm tone, but it startled Que'er and Granny Zheng, who exclaimed at the same time, "What!?"
Bao Xia, who followed behind carrying the tea, was so startled that her hands trembled, and she almost dropped all the tea utensils she was holding.
Bao Xia: "What's wrong, Sister Que'er?"
"What has shocked you and Granny so much?"
Bao Xia patted her chest, still not fully recovered.
Que'er said angrily, "There's a shameless bastard trying to steal our girl's place!"
Granny Zheng: "Snatch it? Does she even think she can snatch it?"
"You're being too nice to her!"
"Even back in the Jiang family, this old servant never thought she was a good person!"
"Now they've even set their sights on our family. This old servant really wants to give her a good beating so she'll know what kind of place the Yue Prince's Mansion is!"
Sparrow: "I saw it at the Jiang family's house last time too."
"Jiang Shisan Niang's gaze was fixed directly on His Highness, like a rat in a ditch seeing a piece of fat meat, its eyes gleaming with greed."
"At that moment, I wanted to go up and slap her twice across the face!"
"Pah! A lady from a prestigious family, indeed! How shameless!"
"She actually waited until today, and she still has her eye on our prince!"
Bao Xia was also very unhappy.
Although she was just a maid.
But now, suddenly she has gone from being a maid in the courtyard of a merchant's wife to a maid in the courtyard of a prince's wife. Such a change in status is a leap from maid to dragon gate!
Moreover, the matriarch and head of the household share a rare and loving relationship.
Bao Xia had a turbulent childhood, having been raised by at least three different families.
This is the first time I've seen a head of household and his wife show such mutual respect and enduring love.
Although the mistress is suddenly going on a long trip again, and her return date is unknown.
Although the head of the family was once a son-in-law who married into the family.
Although the mistress did not come from a high social class.
But now that the head of the family is a prince, the two of them are still as loving as ever!
The head of the household would never abandon his mistress.
The mistress was also devoted to the master of the house.
Moreover, the head of the family looks like a very difficult person to get along with!
Anyone who sees him alone would be trembling with fear.
Dong'er also said that she was so scared that she almost peed her pants the first time she tried it.
But every time the head of the household is in front of the mistress, he seems to be a completely different person, both in temperament and appearance.
She became gentle and considerate, and humble and subservient.
Little did the world know that he was none other than the now-powerful King of Yue!
Or is he the legendary, ruthless leader of the Imperial Guard?
More importantly, these servants were all very happy in this household!
There's not much to do.
Get plenty of rest.
There's a lot of silver too!
Most importantly, Bao Xia never worried about becoming a concubine.
Thinking back to that Tang Chun, because she had a philandering heart, she actually went to the head of the family to embarrass herself, and in the end, she was sold off.
Such a person is absolutely not allowed to exist in this family!
The person who despises this kind of person the most is the head of the family!
Moreover, if a few more concubines or mistresses were to come to this simple and easy household, Bao Xia could imagine that this family would never be harmonious again!
Upon thinking of this, Bao Xia almost flew into a rage.
She even angrily rolled up her sleeves and said, "Who is it? This servant will go with you and help you deal with her!"
Seeing her like this, Que'er's expression finally softened a bit.
"You have a conscience."
"But what use are you? Don't worry about this."
"Remember, after we leave, you three head maids are responsible for guarding the house. Don't let the young lady down."
"Also, when you go to the Prince of Yue's residence, you must remember what I told you."
"His Highness dislikes maids getting too close. So the three of you are only allowed to come in to tidy the room during the day when His Highness is not around. Otherwise, you'll lose your heads."
"If His Highness doesn't want you to serve him and only wants servants, then you should obediently step back and spend your days lying around waiting for the young lady to return."
"You belong to the young lady. As long as you don't cause trouble, His Highness won't send you away."
"Also, if anyone in the manor has impure intentions, the three of you should discuss it and go find Guard Zhuiyu. He will handle it!"
Sparrow had already said all of this last night.
Bao Xia listened to it again carefully.
Although I feel a little reluctant to leave, I am also looking forward to the future, and I feel that things will be easier than they are now.
He felt even more hatred for those who might return and disrupt the peace of the mansion.
"Your Highness, Granny, Sister Que'er, please rest assured. This servant will keep an eye on everything in the manor and do my best to protect this home."
Li Qingluo nodded to her: "I'll leave this family to you few to take better care of."
The time for parting has finally come.
Li Qingluo forbade anyone from leaving the mansion to see her off, fearing that the servants would cry and that her grand gesture would attract attention.
"Just tell people that I was unwell and went to my country estate to recuperate. There's no need to mention anything else."
In fact, apart from Duan Rongshi, Bao Xia and the other servants had no idea where Li Qingluo was going on this long trip.
The three maids, Baoxia, Xiqiu, and Dong'er, had swollen eyes from crying.
But all they could do was wave and watch Li Qingluo and her entourage leave the mansion with their simple belongings.
Li Qingluo took all twenty-seven kills with her.
This was also a strict requirement from Duan Rongshi, who did not allow her to leave behind a single guard to protect her.
However, when they arrived at the gate, they discovered that the next stop was not Lengdian.
Why are we still chasing the rain?
"princess."
Zhuiyu turned around and bowed to Li Qingluo, with a small bundle slung over her shoulder.
Li Qingluo: "Why is it you?"
Zhuiyu looked at Li Qingluo with a hint of grievance and resentment: "Does the Princess really not want her subordinates?"
"I may not be as steady as Leng Dian, but I will do everything in my power to protect the Princess and will not let you worry."
"This trip was also my own initiative, and I hope you will grant me permission, young lady."
Zhui Yu spoke sincerely, looking as if she was about to kneel down before Li Qingluo.
Li Qingluo looked at Que'er and Sha San beside her.
Although they all looked a little uncomfortable, they had no reason to stop Zhuiyu from joining them.
After all, the girl is no longer just their girl, but also Zhuiyu's queen.
Li Qingluo had no choice; Zhuiyu had always been sincere to her, and she couldn't refuse him.
Moreover, Duan Rongshi must have agreed to this matter.
So he had no choice but to say, "Alright, but regarding Zhuiyu... I don't want anyone on the road to cause a fatality because of personal feelings."
"You are all the same before me. Anyone who breaks the rules will be punished!"
Zhuiyu: "Don't worry, young lady, I've long since let go of the past."
Li Qingluo: Is that really the case?
Why does the sparrow's eyes look like it's burdened with worries?
Li Qingluo did not leave the city immediately.
The group first split into two groups.
Sha Yi, as the leader, led twenty of his men to wait outside the city.
Because if they were to leave the city in a grand procession of more than thirty horses, it would inevitably attract attention.
Therefore, Li Qingluo first took a carriage when leaving the Nangong residence, planning to change horses after leaving the city.
After killing one of them, they had to go to the estate to arrange the horses.
Xuan Cang followed Sha Yi.
They also rode in a carriage, and Granny Zheng stayed in the carriage to take care of him, who was still quite badly injured.
Li Qingluo then led Sha San, Que'er, and several other members with the character "Sha" on their names to wander around the city.
In the blink of an eye, she appeared at the Jiang family's residence.
Jiang Shisan Niang wanted to become a concubine of the Prince of Yue. Although Li Qingluo believed that Duan Rongshi would not accept or pay attention to this matter, she would never tolerate such an unpleasant thing that was being pushed around like this.
Before leaving, I will definitely visit the Jiang residence.
"Young lady, what if Jiang Shisan gets out and spreads rumors that you are jealous, ruining your reputation?"
Li Qingluo: "If she's so capable, does she dare to spread it?"
She sneered, "I'll make her remember for the rest of her life that no one, not even Jiang Shisan Niang, should ever covet my people!"
And reputation?
If Li Qingluo cared about this, she wouldn't have disguised herself as a merchant just so she could easily show her face in public.
Is a merchant's reputation better than that of a jealous woman?
After saying that, Li Qingluo led Que'er over the wall and arrived at Jiang Shisan Niang's courtyard.
She's gotten quite familiar with the Jiang family now.
The appearance of two such large, living people somehow managed to avoid all eyes.
Moreover, after the incident involving Old Madam Jiang and the involvement of Minister Jiang and Second Master Jiang in the matriarch murder case, the Jiang family was no longer as prestigious as before.
Master Jiang committed suicide.
Master Jiang was implicated and poisoned to death in the Dali Temple prison.
Now, only the eldest branch of the family is left to support the entire Jiang family.
Minister Jiang, no, Jiang Yanzhi, has also been impeached and removed from his position as Minister. Now, the entire Jiang family and even the entire mansion are filled with a deathly atmosphere.
Upon arriving at Jiang Shisan Niang's courtyard, Li Qingluo heard a burst of silvery laughter.
"My uncle agreed."
"I knew he would agree to my request."
It was Jiang Shisan Niang's cheerful voice.
Maid: "Miss, you are so clever! The Jiang family has declined and is not what it used to be."
"Ever since the Second Master, our Third Master, and the Old Madam all died one after another, the people of the eldest branch of the family have not treated us like human beings."
"Once you successfully become the concubine of the King of Yue, let's see who will look down on you or us!"
Jiang Shisan Niang: "Yes. All the troubles that have happened to the Jiang family, they all blame it on my heartless father."
“My father favored his concubine over his wife and forced my mother to her death. Later, after he made that slut his wife, my younger brother was also spoiled and turned into a good-for-nothing.”
“I, Thirteenth Sister, am clearly the legitimate daughter, yet I live worse than those illegitimate daughters. I never imagined that now that he is dead, all the blame would be directed at me.”
"Why?!"
"Those members of the main branch always act so high and mighty, but in the end, didn't they all have to rely on me, Thirteenth Sister, to have a chance to stand up straight again?"
