Liu 꿻 was immediately frightened and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.
"No, Master, I know I was wrong. I was wrong. Please spare my life, Master! Wuwu~ I really know I was wrong."
Liu Xiao had completely lost the radiant and beautiful look she had just now. She prostrated herself on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Her child was frightened and knelt down crying.
"Wuwu~ Daddy, please don't blame my aunt. Please don't take my aunt away. Daddy, please."
The six-year-old eldest son of the Duke's Mansion was sensible. Although he did not understand what his aunt had done, he heard that she was going to be sent to the government, which must have been a big mistake. The child was terrified and kept crying and begging for mercy.
Duke Anguo angrily scolded: "Liu Xiao, you don't want to live a good life, but you have to make trouble. When you do these things, don't you think about the consequences?"
Looking at the child, Duke Anguo softened his heart for a moment, and became even more angry.
Liu continued to plead for mercy, saying that she was wrong, constantly repenting, and even crawled in front of the Duke's wife to plead for mercy.
Aunt Zhang was so frightened that she collapsed on the bed, with cold sweat all over her body.
Liu 꿻's concubine was about to be sent to the government, and she, a nanny, was afraid that she might not even be able to save her life.
The Duke's wife looked coldly at the willow begging for mercy at her feet, with an indifferent expression, "You don't have to beg me. I believe that if I want to kill your child, you will not let me go. So, you don't have to beg me. According to the law, I will deal with it as I should!"
Liu Yu had no choice but to ask for help from the Duke of Anguo. The Duke of Anguo looked at the mother and son crying fiercely and hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to execute them.
Seeing his hesitation, the wife of Duke Anguo became even colder.
"Why? Master, you don't want to let me go?"
The wife of Duke Anguo asked in a cold voice.
Duke Anguo felt a little guilty and embarrassed, and said, "Husband, Liu gave birth to an heir for the Duke's Mansion. Otherwise, how about changing the execution method?"
Duke Anguo was helpless, let alone say it, but he had to at least consider the feelings of his eldest son.
Upon hearing this, the wife of Duke Anguo sneered and said, "Okay, then what do you think of the treatment, Master?"
Duke Anguo thought for a moment and said, "Why not send her to a nunnery to practice for ten days?"
The wife of Duke Anguo glanced at her husband and for the first time had an idea about him.
She said, "Okay, but for the next ten days, no one is allowed to visit her, and the mansion will not give her anything."
When Liu Xiao heard this, her eyes darkened. Didn't this mean she was going to die? Without money, if she went to a nunnery, she would just wait to die. Life there would not be a good life.
But no matter how she begged, Duke Anguo was no longer tolerant. Not sending her to see the official was already the greatest tolerance he could show her.
As for Nanny Zhang, she was sent to the government and punished for the crime of murdering her master, and the Duke of Anguo did not show any mercy.
After dealing with these matters, the Anguo Mansion sent the guests away.
Qingli captured the little ghost that was surrounding the child. The little ghost was the brother of Duke Anguo. He had been dead for more than 20 years, and his soul had been wandering in this mansion.
The little ghost is not a bad person. He has been so old that he has forgotten how he died. He has stayed in the mansion for so long without doing any evil. Normally, no one can see him, only the newborn baby can see him, so he always likes to make faces to scare the child, just because he thinks it's fun.
When the Duke of Anguo learned that there was a ghost with more than 20 souls in the mansion, he was so scared that he almost lost his soul.
I was truly convinced by Qingli and became much more respectful to her.
After settling the matter at the Anguo Mansion, the Anguo Duke presented a generous gift. Qingli did not ask for money, but asked if there was anything in the family that was suitable for a dowry.
The wife of Duke Anguo asked doubtfully, "My Lady, what do you want the things suitable for your dowry for?"
No matter how many times Qingli said it, everyone still refused to change their name. After so many times, Qingli was too lazy to say it.
She said to the wife of Duke Anguo, "My sister is getting married tomorrow, and I want to give her a gift, but I don't know what's suitable."
Qingli thought that the things in the Anguo Mansion should not be too bad. If they were given to Su Qingyue, it should be able to hold up the place.
Hearing this, the wife of Duke Anguo hurriedly said, "So that's how it is. There are quite a lot of things suitable for dowry. Your Majesty, why don't you come with me to the storehouse to choose."
Qingli said hurriedly, "No, no, just pick whatever you like. I only want one, no matter how big or small. Please send it to the Su Mansion on the following day and give it to my sister. She must keep it herself. Thank you for your help."
Duke Anguo and his husband hurriedly said, "It's not a bother, it's not a bother, it's us who are bothering the queen. Thank you for saving my son's life. If the queen has any instructions in the future, just tell her directly, no need to be polite."
Qingli nodded, and then left the Anguo Mansion.
Qingli had just left when Shen Yanchu came with her, and this time Nangong Yuyao was also with them.
When Duke Anguo learned that they were looking for Qingli, he hurriedly said, "General Shen, Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Queen just left."
Nangong Yuyao patted her head in annoyance, "If I hadn't wasted time, we would have definitely met the Emperor's sister-in-law."
Shen Yanchu said: "It's okay, even if it doesn't delay the time, we may not be able to see the queen."
Chen Yanchu knew very well that Qingli was in big trouble. Unless she wanted to show up and go back, she couldn't be caught by force. After all, he couldn't really do anything to her.
Seeing Nangong Yuyao's annoyed look, Duke Anguo said, "The queen said that tomorrow is the Su family's eldest daughter's wedding day, maybe she will show up. Your Highness, the Princess, General Shen, you can go to the Su Mansion tomorrow to take a look."
Nangong Yuyao said: "The Queen's sister-in-law will not go to the Su Mansion. She doesn't want to recognize the Su family."
Then she asked in surprise: "Sister Yue wants to kiss me?"
Duke Anguo nodded.
Then he said, "The queen cares about her sister very much. She didn't accept the thank-you gift we gave her. Instead, she asked us to send it to Su Mansion for her sister as a gift. It can be seen that the queen likes this sister very much. For such a big event, the queen will not be absent."
Nangong Yuyao said: "Why didn't Sister Yue inform me of the kiss? I didn't even know about it."
Duke Anguo: "We are very surprised! We have never received an invitation from the Su family."
Nangong Yuyao was in a hurry to leave, "Let's go, let's go. I have to go back to help Sister Yue put on some makeup."
Nangong Yuyao knew that her sister-in-law liked this elder sister very much. If the sister-in-law liked her, she would like her too.
The two of them left the Anguo Mansion, and Nangong Yuyao said to Shen Yanchu: "Send me to the palace first. I want to tell my brother the news and see if he wants to go to the Su family tomorrow."
At this time in the palace, the two boys were playing archery in the imperial garden, surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs serving them. When they sweated, someone would wipe it off, when they were thirsty, someone would immediately hand them hot water, and someone would bring them fruit, ready to serve at any time.
The clothes on the two children became more gorgeous, and the whole look became more exquisite.
Mengmeng was wearing a pink little skirt, and the shoes on her feet were made of top-grade brocade, with pearls and other small items sewn on them as embellishments, which made her look beautiful, gorgeous and precious.
The palace maid combed her hair into twin spiral buns, which made her fair, round face look even more lovely and playful.
Yangyang was wearing a purple brocade dress, made of royal palace fabric, which looked very luxurious. It was embroidered with dark patterns and she wore a small white jade belt around her waist. She looked very noble, and with her expressionless face, her temperament was very similar to Nangong Yan when he didn't smile.
"Sister, I don't want to play anymore."
After shooting more than a dozen arrows in succession, Yangyang lost interest.
Meng Meng was the same. The little girl sighed and waved her hand, saying, "Let's all retreat! We don't want to play anymore."
The young eunuch hurriedly ordered everyone to move everything away, and then asked, "Princess, Prince, how about we play pitch pot?"
Meng Meng shook her head, "If you don't want to play, what's the difference between that and archery."
"How about going horseback riding?"
The eunuch asked.
Meng Meng shook her head, "What's the point if I can't go out of the palace to ride."
"Brother, let's go find our father!"
The two children had already received etiquette instruction in the palace, and now that they had some understanding of palace affairs, they changed their names.
"Princess, you and the eldest prince haven't finished your homework yet. Why don't you finish your homework and then go to see His Majesty? Then you can have dinner with His Majesty."
The senior palace maid beside Mengmeng reminded her that as a senior palace maid, she had a heavy responsibility. In addition to taking care of the master, she also had to urge the master to study on time. Fortunately, after getting along with them, she found that the eldest princess and the eldest prince were very sensible children. They would not make trouble unreasonably and would not punish them without reason.
This made the slaves feel bolder and more at ease.
