Xia Yue looked unhappy and rushed in rashly.
As soon as she entered the house, she fell to her knees on the ground. She raised her head and her face was covered with tears.
"Concubine Yun, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"What happened? Get up and answer."
Zhao Yunzhu felt relieved and signaled Linglong to help Xia Yue up.
Xia Yue choked up and replied, "Concubine Yun, my servant's parents are here to cause trouble—"
Xia Yue lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Zhao Yunzhu, feeling extremely ashamed.
His heart was in his throat.
She never expected that her parents would come to Prince An's Mansion to cause trouble.
"Nothing, don't panic."
After comforting Xia Yue, she followed Xia Yue out to meet Xia Yue's parents.
The two of them were at the back door of Prince An's Mansion. After all, they really didn't dare to offend Prince An's Mansion completely.
Originally, the couple had sold Xia Yue to Manyue Tower and received ten taels of silver.
The love between parents and children in this life has come to an end.
But who would have thought that Xia Yue had escaped and was rescued by Concubine Yun Chonghao from Prince An's Mansion on the way.
They originally thought that Xia Yue was lucky and might have good fortune in the future.
Originally, Shen Mi planned to come and look for—
At the back door, Li's parents were standing there with sad faces.
I saw the closed door slowly open.
Li's parents showed a hint of joy on their faces when they saw the woman dressed in luxurious and beautiful clothes.
He was like a god, and people dared not look directly at him.
There was a hint of timidity in Li's parents' eyes.
The next second, he saw his daughter, smiled, and moved forward to hold Xia Yue's hand. "Daya, I finally got to meet your father. We missed you and worried about you these days. Your brother cried all day long and wanted to see you."
When Xia Yue saw her mother, she felt overwhelmed with grievance.
But she will never forget that her parents bought her to Manyue Tower for ten taels of silver.
He took two steps back, his whole body filled with alertness.
"Daya!"
Seeing her like this, Father Li, as if it were always the same, sternly shouted, "Don't forget, without me and your mother, there would be no you!"
Seeing her father still treating her so rudely, Xia Yue began to hold back tears, "But you've already sold me to Manyue Tower for ten taels of silver! I'm even with you now! I don't owe you anything anymore!"
Father Li snorted coldly, a hint of sarcasm on his lips, "Now that you've climbed up the social ladder, you have the confidence to talk to us like this. You're truly an Aries!"
Faced with her father's ruthless, cold scolding and ridicule, Xia Yue couldn't suppress her grievance and her body trembled violently.
"From childhood to adulthood, in your eyes, there was only my brother! There was never me! There was no me! So that my brother could go to private school, you sold me to Man Yue Tower!"
Xia Yue denounced her father and mother for their favoritism over the years.
But Li's parents didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.
"No matter what your mother and I do, you have no right to lecture me, you treasonous and unfilial thing!"
Father Li glared at Xia Yue fiercely, and the next second he almost rushed over and slapped Xia Yue.
"How dare you! Prince An's Mansion is not a place where you can act wildly!"
Zhao Yunzhu frowned and said angrily, "Xia Yue is now a servant of Prince An's Mansion. She has signed a contract to sell herself. She has no connection with your family anymore. If you still want to come and ask for her, don't blame Prince An's Mansion for being rude!"
Li's mother was frightened by Zhao Yunzhu's powerful aura. She trembled and stepped forward to pull Li's father back.
"You have sold your family's Daya to Man Yue Tower. If you want her, go to Man Yue Tower and ask for her. There is no one named Daya in Prince An's Mansion!"
Seeing that Mr. Li still had a tough attitude.
Zhao Yunzhu's face turned cold. "If these two come to cause trouble again in the future, tie them up and send them to the government!"
"yes."
The servant behind him replied respectfully.
Father Li thought of his backers and his fear subsided a bit. "How dare you? We are here to retrieve the person on the orders of the wise king!"
When Zhao Yunzhu heard the word "Xian Wang", she was stunned.
Too lazy to continue arguing with Li's parents, "Remember this, if these two come to cause trouble again, don't be polite. Tie them up and give them a good beating, then hand them over to the government!"
After saying that, Zhao Yunzhu took Xia Yue and returned to Prince An's Mansion.
Xia Yuehe wiped the tears from her face and said gratefully, "Concubine Yun, I will never forget your kindness."
Zhao Yunzhu shook her head, indicating that she shouldn't mind it.
After returning to Lanxiang Garden, she asked someone to give instructions to the steward at the gate.
Watch carefully. If anyone comes to cause trouble again, tie them up and send them to the government office.
In the evening, Zhao Yunzhu finally received the letter from home that Qin Zongzhi had sent at full speed.
He told her about his recent situation in great detail.
He only mentioned Du Jiaojiao at the end. Liu Ze had done him a favor, and Du Jiaojiao also had feelings for Liu Ze, so he simply helped the two of them get together.
Zhao Yunzhu looked at the end of the letter. He asked her to take care of the matter and secretly prepare a gift for Liu Ze.
She pursed her lips and frowned as she considered it carefully.
Du Jiaojiao couldn't hide for long.
Qin Zongzhi also asked her to prepare a gift. After much thought, she felt that silver and money were the most appropriate gift.
He immediately ordered someone to go to the accounting office to withdraw two thousand silver notes and asked someone to secretly deliver it to Liu Ze.
Liu Ze replied that he had received Qin Zongzhi's letter.
He had arranged everything and would be able to escape within three days. He wanted to take Du Jiaojiao away from Chang'an and go to a place where no one knew them.
As for how Du Jiaojiao could escape, this problem trapped Zhao Yunzhu.
As for Liu Ze, she could get away in three days, so she naturally didn't want things to drag on too long.
After thinking about it, I couldn't find a suitable solution.
"Miss, what's the matter that has you been so worried about that you haven't been able to eat properly these past few days?"
Aunt Hua came into the room to clean up the dishes and saw that the food on the table had hardly been touched.
Full of worries.
"It's a tricky thing."
Zhao Yunzhu sighed, and Nanny Hua understood. She raised her hand and asked the maids serving in the room to leave for the time being.
"Why not let this old slave help the young lady figure it out?"
Zhao Yunzhu didn't hide anything from Nanny Hua. "Liu Ze can escape in three days. The prince wants me to help them. Concubine Du has also made it clear that she's willing to give up everything. But I can't think of a way to escape right now."
Aunt Hua frowned, pursed her lips, and fiddled with the beads in her hands.
"Escape?"
Zhao Yunzhu shook her head. "She's in poor health right now, and I'm afraid the drug that makes her fake her death could harm her. We can't let her take that risk. Besides, with all the hustle and bustle of the funeral rites and mourning hall over the next few days, it's inevitable something might happen."
It's not that she hadn't thought about this method, but she felt that if something went wrong, she would be embarrassed to report it.
"That……"
Aunt Hua frowned even more tightly. If this method didn't work, there was really no other suitable solution at the moment.
Just as the two were lost in thought, a maidservant outside came in, "Concubine Yun, the Prince Song's Mansion has sent an invitation."
Zhao Yunzhu raised her eyebrows and was slightly stunned. This was the first time that Prince Song's Mansion had sent an invitation.
"Come in,"
Aunt Hua shouted outside.
The maid came into the room holding the invitation in both hands.
