"Princess, the things have been delivered."
A voice sounded from behind Su Liyue, breaking the gloomy atmosphere in Qingyu Courtyard.
Su Liyue turned her head to look, and saw Fufeng and his men standing at the gate of Qingyu Courtyard. The servants behind Fufeng looked at the scene in Qingyu Courtyard with horror and fear on their faces, but when Su Liyue looked at Fufeng and met his gaze, she did not see any ripples in Fufeng's eyes.
Although I don't know how long they have been standing there, it is obvious that they have not just arrived.
Su Liyue's expression remained unchanged despite this scene, and she showed no intention of explaining. She simply said to Fufeng, "Thank you, Master Fufeng. Please do me one more favor."
Fu Feng had no expression when he heard this, and only said, "Please speak."
Su Liyue pointed at Juxiang and said, "This maid has betrayed her master. I cannot tolerate this. Please, sir, have someone sell her off."
She knew very well that she couldn't get anything out of Juxiang.
However, after a pause, Su Liyue added, "I'm afraid that ordinary people wouldn't want this maid who betrayed her master. I hope Master Fufeng will pay more attention to her."
Su Liyue said this because she only thought that Juxiang had betrayed her master and was weird, so she shouldn't be sold to an ordinary family to harm them.
However, Su Liyue was unaware of her original intention and was misunderstood by Fu Feng.
It was simply because Su Liyue didn't know that no ordinary family would be willing to accept a maid sold from a wealthy family, especially one sold from a royal palace.
The maids in wealthy families are usually not too bad looking. If the matchmaker wants to get a good price, she will definitely sell them to brothels.
Su Liyue's reminder seemed very deliberate. In Fufeng's eyes, it meant that she was eager to sell Juxiang to a brothel.
It’s not that I sympathize with Jiexiang, but I just feel that someone with Su Liyue’s personality is indeed not suitable to be the mistress of this palace.
Thinking of this, Fu Feng frowned, appearing even more aloof and distant. However, he still bowed towards Su Liyue and said, "Yes—Princess, if you are alright, I will take my leave."
Su Liyue felt the change in Fufeng and thought that Fufeng had heard what she had just said, so she didn't say anything. She just faded a little and let Fufeng leave.
…
At this time, Shangguan family.
Shangguan Ruoning looked at the palace maid with a kind face and asked, "Does the Empress Dowager have anything to say to me?"
Shangguan Ruoning's grandmother was the elder sister of the Queen Mother Qin. Therefore, Shangguan Ruoning called the Queen Mother Qin her great-aunt and often went to the palace. She had a very close relationship with the Queen Mother.
The palace maid looked at Shangguan Ruoning with a kind face and couldn't help but feel sorry for her, but she still conveyed the Queen Mother's words truthfully.
"The Empress said that if Miss Shangguan wants to find another husband, the Empress will ask the Emperor to grant her a marriage. If she still wants to enter Prince Zhan's mansion, please rest assured, Miss Shangguan, no one will dare to stop her as long as the Empress is here."
When Shangguan Ruoning heard this, a gloomy look flashed across her eyes.
However, Shangguan Ruoning's expression soon returned to normal. She looked at the maid with gratitude and said, "Please inform the Empress Dowager, my great aunt. Today's incident happened suddenly. I need to think carefully before making any plans. Please thank my great aunt for me."
As she spoke, Shangguan Ruoning ordered the maid beside her, "Xiangqiao, why don't you take this sister out for some tea?"
Xiangqiao looked at her young lady worriedly, and then took the palace maid out.
When only Shangguan Ruoning and her personal maid Cuiqiao were left in the room, Shangguan Ruoning could no longer hold back and threw all the objects around her to the ground.
Seeing this, Cuiqiao hurriedly advised, "Miss, anger is harmful to your health. Please take care of yourself."
Shangguan Ruoning looked at Cuiqiao with red eyes when she heard this. "I thought the Queen Mother would make the decision for me, but I never expected she would still ask me to be a concubine. I've waited so many years, how can I accept this?"
Cuiqiao was speechless.
At this moment, she didn't know how to persuade her young lady.
After venting her anger, Shangguan Ruoning finally calmed down. She called Cuiqiao to her side, asked her to lean close to her ear, and spoke something in her ear.
Then Cuiqiao went out.
Only then did a hint of viciousness appear in Shangguan Ruoning's eyes without any concealment.
Su Liyue, your time of death has come!
…
The next morning.
Su Liyue took a few silver ingots and put them on her body and prepared to go out.
After meeting Juxiang yesterday, she decided to find Xiwen who had protected the original owner.
Although the chance of finding it is slim, she still has to go to the dental clinic to ask. What if she finds it?
After all, Xiwen was the only ray of light in the despair of the original owner that day.
However, just as Su Liyue reached the gate of the palace, she was surrounded by a group of officials.
Su Liyue stood there calmly, and saw an official in official uniform walk out from behind these officers.
"Princess Zhan, I am the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. This morning, I received a report that the princess had committed murder. I request that you and I go to the yamen to be investigated."
The speaker was the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, Lord Chu Tianhe.
This Lord Chu was born in a humble family, but he was not afraid of the powerful. He was said to be famous for his impartiality and treated every case very seriously and responsibly. Because he was deeply trusted by the emperor and had a bad temper, even the powerful people in the capital were afraid of him.
Even the original owner had heard of the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.
However, Su Liyue never thought that there would come a day when she would have to deal with him.
However, despite this, Su Liyue's face remained unfazed. She simply asked, "Could you please tell me who reported the case, what it was, and who was murdered?"
