I thought of what Wang Sisi said about the nanny from the Princess's Mansion coming to complain.
Wang Xiaojin secretly took a deep breath, and then calmed down before saying, "My daughter reported some of Sister Jiu's personal information and how they met and interacted with each other when she came back the day before yesterday, and reported it to her parents again last night."
She paused before continuing, "I really don't know what father means by mentioning sister Jiu again at this time."
The prime minister's eyes fell on her, "The maid at the Princess's residence said that you came out to lie right after Ah Jiu."
"My daughter didn't lie!" Wang Xiaojin raised her head suddenly, "Also, no matter whether Sister Jiu was present at the time, my daughter saw it and that's what she saw."
She looked at the famous prime minister who was praised by everyone in Cangyu country with some disappointment, "Father...are you going to force your daughter to lie?!"
"Second girl!" Without waiting for the prime minister to speak, the prime minister's wife frowned slightly and scolded, "How can you talk to your father like that!"
Wang Xiaojin turned away, her eyes a little red.
It wasn't fear or being yelled at, but something in my heart collapsed.
As a daughter, even though she had never seen her father in the past ten years, she was proud when she heard the people in Zhuangzi talk about her father with such admiration and respect.
It is natural for children to admire and be proud of their fathers.
Seeing that she was stubborn and didn't say anything, the Prime Minister's wife looked at Prime Minister Wang with some embarrassment, "Master, the second girl has been raised outside and hasn't been back home for long. It's understandable that she doesn't understand many things..."
"Don't understand? She is not young anymore. She is already sixteen years old and has reached the age of marriage. She can't even understand such a simple thing. Does she have to wait until she causes a huge disaster, implicates the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and the entire nine clans of my Wang family, before she understands?" The Prime Minister said coldly.
"This..." The Prime Minister's wife was even more embarrassed, and immediately apologized, "It's all my fault. I originally thought that since the second girl had just returned home, I should let her have some fun and get to know her better, and then slowly teach her..."
The Prime Minister raised his hand and said, "It is difficult to change a person's nature, let alone the fact that Madam is responsible for the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if Madam takes her by her side and teaches her all the time, a few months alone cannot change a person's bones."
The prime minister was extremely cold and indifferent. "I was the one who was truly at fault. I should have taken her away from Aunt Lin when she was born. If I had brought her back to Madam and raised her, she wouldn't be so ignorant today!"
Wang Xiaojin was like a young animal that was stabbed, her eyes reddened. "If my father doesn't like his daughter, then that's fine! Why does he have to insult Aunt Lin like this?"
"I, Wang Xiaojin, was born by a father but not raised by one. What did my aunt do wrong?"
"You! Evil creature!" The elegant prime minister was so angry that he was shaking. "Very good, please punish me according to the family rules!"
The prime minister's wife quickly tried to dissuade him, "Master, please calm down. The second girl is already a grown-up girl, and if we use family law, it will really... How can she face people in the future..."
"What are you afraid of? She is so ignorant. If we let her go on like this, we will lose our lives in the future. Do you still care about losing face?!"
The Prime Minister's wife said to Wang Xiaojin, "Second girl, quickly admit your mistake to your father. And promise that you will cut off contact with Ah Jiu in the future..."
"I did nothing wrong. Why should I admit my mistake?" Tears silently slid down Wang Xiaojin's face. "What's wrong with sister Jiu? She and I just hit it off from the moment we met. I just like her. Why should I cut off contact with her? My father is afraid of trouble, but I am not!"
"You..." The Prime Minister's eyes were filled with disappointment. "You are not wrong? What's wrong? Stupid thing! You have been used as a pawn, and you are still so stubborn!!"
"Madam, send her back to her room and keep an eye on her! If she still can't figure it out, I'll pretend I never gave birth to her!"
The prime minister was so angry that he stormed out, and his wife called him "master" several times but he didn't stop.
After the Prime Minister left, the Prime Minister's wife looked down at him and said calmly, "Second girl, don't worry, as long as you are obedient, I will still do what I promised you."
"Come on, since the master has spoken, you should stay at home for the time being. Stay in the house quietly, read a book, embroider, and learn more things. It will always be good for you."
Wang Xiaojin just felt indescribably suffocated.
The Prime Minister's wife immediately went to see Prime Minister Wang and seemed to want to say something but hesitated several times.
"Madam, if you have anything to say, just say it."
The Prime Minister's wife sighed, "Master, the second girl was a little immature this time. But it is understandable. The second girl has been raised outside since she was a child. She has not been exposed to too many twists and turns, and her heart is still very pure."
"Master, you deliberately mentioned Ah Jiu, I'm sure you've noticed it. I share the same feeling as you, the second girl may not know people well and was used as a pawn. But..."
She frowned slightly, "Since the second girl brought Ah Jiu to the garden party at the Princess's residence, she introduced her to the Princess and others legitimately. I guess everyone knows that the second girl recognized Ah Jiu as her adopted sister. So..."
She paused for a moment before continuing, "If Ah Jiu talks nonsense or does something else outside, others will probably still implicate our Prime Minister's Mansion."
"What does the lady mean?"
"What I mean is, since this is the case, why not wait for Ah Jiu to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion and keep her here? First, we can prevent her from going out and causing trouble, and second, we can slowly test her purpose by keeping an eye on her. Can we educate her..."
"The second girl has few friends since she was young. If Jiu can be educated, and her purpose is harmless, we might as well let her accompany the second girl..."
Prime Minister Wang was silent for a while.
"Master, do you think it's inappropriate?"
"Well, I'll do as you wish, Madam."
Wang Sisi, who was eavesdropping outside, heard this and left again on tiptoe.
Mom and Dad are planning to put Wang Xiaojin and that Ajiu under house arrest!
No, she couldn't let Ah Jiu go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and be locked up!
Thinking of this, Wang Sisi quickly returned to her room, "Someone come!"
"Miss?" Someone came in immediately.
"Go tell all the gatekeepers on duty what I said. If Miss Jiu shows up, pretend you don't know her and chase her away on the spot. Don't let her into the mansion!"
"Miss, but Miss Jiu is the second lady's..."
Wang Sisi gave the maid a cold look, and she quickly said, "Yes, I'll go right away."
The maid ran down hurriedly.
He went and gave similar instructions to several doormen on duty.
Although the doormen were in a difficult position, they had to obey as it was the eldest lady's order.
As for Jiuer, she has already entered the city.
Jiuer knocked on the wall of the carriage and the carriage stopped steadily.
A guard stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Miss Jiu, what can I do for you?"
Jiuer smiled and said, "You have already sent me back to the city safely according to Su Jingxing's instructions. Now let me down and go back to report~"
The two guards looked at each other and saluted together, "I wonder where Miss Jiu'er is going. We brothers can take you there."
"No need~" Jiuer waved her hand and jumped off the carriage, "I can go by myself. Thank you very much."
Then he smiled and stuffed two small porcelain bottles into their hands. "These are pills I made myself. I'm giving them to you. You often go out and about. If you have a cold or cough, you may need them."
The two were stunned. They had no idea about Ah Jiu's medicine making. But, "Miss Ah Jiu, you are too polite. We don't want to receive gifts without merit..."
Jiuer blinked and said as a matter of course, "You sent me into the city, I thank you."
She was so frank that they were both stunned again.
Every time they received an order to do something, no one had ever thanked them specifically, and they also felt that they were just doing what they were supposed to do.
The two of them felt warm in their hearts and took it with great care, "Then, we'll obey your command. Thank you, Miss Jiu."
Jiuer waved goodbye.
As she bounced into the crowd and disappeared from their sight, one of the guards asked, "Are we really just sending Miss Jiu here?"
Another person said, "Since Miss Jiu has ordered us to do so, we should obey."
Too.
The guard looked at the medicine bottle in his hand again and said, "I didn't expect Miss Jiu to be able to make medicine."
"Keep it. Even if it's useless, it's still Miss Jiu's sincerity after all."
Both of them collected it with great care.
Yesterday, Jiuer was injured and bleeding after running to save people. It was such an intense experience. Although she was simply cleaned up in the carriage, she is still a little embarrassed.
There were stains all over the skirt, and there was a large patch of dried blood on the sleeve of her left arm.
Fortunately, she looked dirty and she was wearing a green skirt, so others didn't notice at first that the "stain" on her left sleeve was actually dried blood.
Jiu'er originally wanted to find a place to pack up before going to the Prime Minister's Mansion. But there were groups of people everywhere in and outside the city, whispering about the Tenth Princess and Su Jingxing.
Jiuer was afraid that something unexpected might happen to Wang Xiaojin, so after parting with Su Jingxing's guards, she found a carriage and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible.
The carriage stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Jiuer jumped off the carriage and just approached the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Before she could introduce herself, she was stopped by the doorman.
The concierge asked rudely, "Where did you come from, little beggar? Do you think you can barge into the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
