Chapter 122 You are a bad person, you lied to me
When the maid came back, she saw Qiao Wanyan standing at the door of Yongning Pavilion. She carefully observed her expression and saw that she did not look angry. There was a faint and gentle smile on her face, so she walked over quickly.
"I am a new maid from Yongning Pavilion. Nice to meet the Second Miss. I hope she is doing well."
Qiao Wanyan asked calmly, "You are very smart and have a keen eye. Where did you work before?"
The maid paused for a moment, "I used to be a good citizen, I never worked anywhere. Mother is not in good health, so I volunteered to work in the mansion to earn some monthly salary for mother's medical treatment."
Qiao Wanyan sighed softly, "What a filial girl. Are you happy to see the prince off?"
The maid was stunned for a moment, and immediately knelt on the ground, feeling a little frightened.
Before coming to the mansion, she heard people say that the eldest daughter of the Qiao family was gentle and easy to talk to. Although the second daughter of this mansion was a little spoiled, she was not a bad person at heart and treated the servants in her courtyard very well.
Some time ago, a maid who had worked in Yongning Pavilion for ten years got married and left home. Miss Qiao burned her indenture directly and prepared a set of dowry for her.
After all, he is not harsh to his servants, and he is not the kind of vicious person who takes it out on others when he is unhappy.
But right now, she felt a little uneasy.
No, it's very uneasy.
Especially when she looked at Miss Qiao's face which was still smiling, she felt inexplicably cold.
Qiao Wanyan approached and lifted her chin. "You said you had never worked in other mansions before. How did you know that it was the prince? Why are you so prominent?"
The maid was stunned for a moment, "I, I have seen Your Highness once on the street before!"
Qiao Wanyan raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Really? So you don't want to be in the limelight and seduce His Highness, hoping to become a phoenix."
The maidservant dared not say a word. She wanted to say something in defense, but after seeing the beautiful face of Miss Qiao II, she was unable to utter a single word.
The dark meaning beneath that smile almost suffocated her.
I just hope that the Second Miss is just teasing the servants for the moment and will let her go and go about her own business.
Lu Jinye, who was standing in the corridor not far away, said lazily, "I saw her in Situ Yue's yard in the Earl of Pingyang's mansion."
He sneaked into Situ Yue's room late at night and found the woman lying on Situ Yue's bed.
In all likelihood, she's a maid.
Qiao Wanyan chuckled, "You are a bad person, you lied to me."
The maid was so frightened that she looked at him in astonishment and shook her head desperately, "Second Miss, Second Miss, I didn't. I have never worked in the Earl of Pingyang's mansion before. Second Miss, I didn't..."
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? I won't eat anyone."
After saying this, she turned around and prepared to go into the house.
The maid breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she must return to the Earl of Pingyang's Mansion today and let the Sixth Young Master take her back.
She didn't want to stay here anymore, not even for a day.
The second young lady is so scary, so scary!
A maidservant at the side asked, "Miss, how do you deal with this maidservant?"
Qiao Wanyan did not stop, and a light voice floated into her ears, "Chentang."
The maid was startled, and immediately stood up to beg for mercy, "Miss, please spare me, please spare me, I really have never worked in the Earl of Pingyang's mansion, you can check it out!"
The maid in Yongning Pavilion held her down. The maid who had just spoken came up to her and pinched her cheek with one hand, "If you know what's good for you, you should shut up. The spies of the Earl of Pingyang's Mansion have been sent to you, young lady. Do you think you can still survive?"
The maid said in a trembling voice, "How can you just kill me like this? Aren't you afraid that the Earl of Pingyang will sue you for wantonly killing people?"
The maid of Yongning Pavilion was amused. "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you the daughter of the Earl of Pingyang? If you enter the Shangshu Mansion, you are a slave. How can slaves have human rights? Dying in the mansion is like a duck or a chicken dying in the mansion. If you report it to the government, the police will kick you out."
This is the imperial palace, and the servants are all officials. They cannot be executed at will.
In the noble mansions in the capital, the vast majority of people working there are of lowly origin, and their masters hold their lives in their hands by means of slave contracts.
In the afternoon, the carriage horses sent by the East Palace were delivered by Jing Yuan himself. Qiao Wanyan admired them carefully and touched their fur. "The horses sent by His Highness are actually Ferghana horses. It is a waste of talent to use them to pull carriages."
Jing Yuan said: "This horse has been carefully trained by the East Palace. It has a gentle temperament and will definitely not lose control when used to pull a carriage. Please rest assured, Second Miss."
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "Thank your highness for me. I will definitely visit you someday."
Jing Yuan has become accustomed to the Second Miss' polite words. Last time, His Highness sent him to rescue Miss Yun, and the Second Miss also said that she would bring Yun Yao to pay a visit to express her gratitude another day.
As a result, I didn’t go at all.
"Yes, I will definitely convey it to the Second Miss."
After Jing Yuan left, Qiao Wanyan lost her temper and went straight back to Yongning Pavilion. On the way, she said, "Zi Yuan, put some arsenic in the horse feed after nightfall."
Zi Yuan was a little confused, "Miss, the horse will die if you do this. His Highness has given you a horse with great difficulty. If His Highness knows that you are doing this, he will be sad."
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "How could I kill the horse that Your Highness gave me if I liked it so much? The one who killed the horse must be a jealous person."
Who in the Shangshu Mansion would be jealous of me?
In all likelihood, it would be the one who was scolded by the prince for having changed in Fengyu Street not long ago?
On the way back, she saw Qiao Yihuan, who was in a very depressed mood.
Qiao Wanyan was bored and had a playful mood. She stood there waiting for her to come over. When she got closer, she smiled and said, "Sister, you're back? Sister, you've been busy all day distributing porridge and doing good deeds. You must be exhausted, right?"
Qiao Yihuan didn't want to pay attention to her, so he walked around her and wanted to leave.
Qiao Wanyan was not angry, as a maid stopped her on her way.
"Sister, I haven't finished talking yet, how can you ignore me? I will be sad if you do this."
"What on earth do you want to do?!"
Qiao Wanyan looked innocent and said, "I want to...I want to watch my sister poop her pants in public."
After saying this, she couldn't help but covered her face and laughed. Her laughter was innocent yet full of mockery.
Qiao Yihuan's face turned pale. The only thing she wanted to forget in her life was everything that happened at the palace banquet, especially the fact that she had pooped her pants in front of His Highness, the Young Marquis and the others.
If it weren't for that incident, His Highness wouldn't have treated me like that.
It's not like the young marquis and the tenth princess hadn't looked for me all this time.
She had a gloomy face and said, "Qiao Wanyan, it is still unknown who will be the ruler of the East Palace. There is still a long way to go, so let's wait and see."
Qiao Wanyan slapped him and said, "Who are you talking to?"
Xiaoying was the one who said this in the past, so the slap naturally fell on Xiaoying's face.
Now that Xiaoying is not here, this slap has to be given somewhere.
