Chapter 363
“If I can’t command you, you can go back to your prince’s side.” Li Zhiwei’s face darkened upon hearing this.
She disliked disobedient servants.
"Please forgive me, Miss. I will escort Miss Cheng to the palace immediately." Upon hearing this, Qingyue quickly knelt down and begged for forgiveness.
"Go!" Li Zhiwei didn't say anything more, only hoping that the Emperor could send someone to investigate that courtyard as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if we arrive too late, King Lan Huai might realize what's happening and have someone take those things away as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei sighed.
Before long, Cui Guo walked up to Li Zhiwei with red eyes.
"What's wrong?" Li Zhiwei looked at Cuiguo, puzzled. Why was she crying all of a sudden?
“Miss—” Cui Guo called out, her voice choked with emotion.
She wondered if she had done something wrong that made the young lady not want her anymore. Otherwise, why would the young lady have bought so many maids?
Miss usually only takes Qinghua and Qingyue with her when she goes out.
Now, the young lady doesn't need him anymore.
"What's wrong? Tell me what happened, and I'll take care of it for you." Seeing Cui Guo like this, Li Zhiwei quickly comforted her.
After all, Cuiguo was the maid she trusted most. In her previous life, Cuiguo accompanied her when she married into the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion and suffered a lot.
Now that I'm doing better, I have no reason to let her be bullied.
"Miss, I know everything." Cui Guo said softly, her eyes red, as she looked at Li Zhiwei and sobbed.
"Know what?" Li Zhiwei was completely confused.
“Miss, I have no skills and can’t help you now—” Cui Guo said, then burst into tears.
The thought of possibly leaving the Li family made her very sad, but the young lady of today was no longer the young lady of the past.
If she stayed by her mistress's side, she would only bring shame upon her. She understood why her mistress didn't want her to take care of her.
"What do you mean by that? Did someone say something bad about you?" Li Zhiwei asked, frowning.
"No, no." Cui Guo waved her hands repeatedly upon hearing this, but finally said, "This servant saw Steward Zhou settling those people."
"Hmm?" Isn't the maid Zhou Tong arranged for the one she bought today?
"What did they say to you?" Li Zhiwei frowned upon hearing this, thinking that if there were any troublemakers among these six people, she wouldn't mind sending them away.
"No, it's just that I felt that since Miss has someone else by her side, she definitely doesn't need me anymore. I was just anxious, so—" Cuiguo couldn't continue speaking. After all, coming to Miss's side to talk about this matter was really like using past favors to coerce Miss into keeping her.
Thinking of this, Cuiguo felt extremely guilty.
"You don't think that I'm abandoning you after I bought those people, do you?" Li Zhiwei asked in a low voice after thinking for a long time.
"Isn't that right? This servant is clumsy and incompetent, unlike Qinghua and Qingyue who can protect Miss's safety." Cuiguo felt even more saddened as she said this.
"Silly girl, even if I don't want anyone else, I won't abandon you. I might need those people later." Li Zhi smiled and patted Cui Guo's head, speaking softly.
"Miss, you really won't send me away?" Cuiguo looked at Li Zhiwei with hopeful eyes.
“Of course, unless you yourself can’t wait and want to get married.” Li Zhiwei said to Cuiguo with a teasing look.
"This servant will never get married. This servant wants to stay by Miss's side for the rest of her life." Upon hearing this, Cuiguo blushed.
"I see. Well, some people might not be able to wait any longer." Li Zhiwei had an expression that said, "I already know."
