"What on earth did I do wrong!?"
She cried so aggrieved that some soft-hearted people actually sympathized with her.
"If that's true, then she was indeed wronged..."
"Pan Li shouldn't have done this, after all. They used to be close friends. They've been best friends since childhood, and now she's just changed her mind. Does that mean she's right?"
The situation seemed to be about to reverse. Pan Li was angry and anxious, and she wanted to tear Liu Qingzhu's crying face apart.
Li Qingluo then said, "Why did Cui Jiuniang's horse die? I suggest we report it to the authorities!"
When the girls heard this, they all disagreed.
It was just a horse, and they didn't want to cause trouble for the government investigation.
"Maybe there's something wrong with her horse itself?"
"Yes. And we're trying so hard to help her find out the truth, but you see, Cui Jiuniang herself doesn't care. Why should we do this?"
"That's right, the Cui family has all gone into hiding. I think we should just disperse."
Everyone was afraid of trouble, so they really dispersed.
When Liu Qingzhu was wiping her red eyes and preparing to leave, Luying beside her looked at Li Qingluo deeply.
Li Qingluo understood instantly.
It seems that Liu Qingzhu is not without evil intentions.
Cui Jiuniang's horse may really have nothing to do with her, but her own horse may not be the same.
Everyone dispersed. Princess Qinyu, who had been watching from a distance, fixed her eyes on Li Qingluo and slowly raised the corners of her lips.
"This daughter that the Li family found is quite interesting."
"He has a calm and dignified temperament, is reserved and shrewd, and is much smarter than that idiot Liu Qingzhu."
A maidservant asked, "Doesn't His Highness value Liu Qingzhu very much? His Highness Prince Yun dotes on her so much that even His Highness was asked to carry her sedan chair today."
Qin Yu snorted coldly: "It's just a new love, how long can it last?"
"Liu Qingzhu is now just a commoner's daughter from a commoner family. To her cousin, the Fourth Emperor, she is just a toy and can be discarded at any time."
"I'm giving my cousin the Four Emperors a favor. What's wrong with making him happy?"
"Furthermore, if Liu Qingzhu was smart, would she have allowed herself to be transformed from the eldest daughter of a general into a concubine in the harem? She's as stupid as a pig!"
The maid nodded, agreeing with this statement.
Qin Yu: "It is indeed a surprise to me that Cui Jiu Niang would appear here today."
"She must have long hated this General's Mansion, but she was just a girl and couldn't decide her own marriage."
Maid: "Yes, just now I saw that she was unwilling to talk to the eldest daughter of the Li family."
Qin Yu smiled coldly: "The Cui family is a century-old family. They didn't cancel the engagement because of Li Kechuan's broken leg because they cared about their own reputation."
"But later, scandals continued to ripple out of the General's Mansion, yet the Cui family remained silent. But Cui Jiuniang, knowing full well what a den of wolves this was, would never have been willing to marry into it."
"And from what I know, she secretly left Fujian on her own, and brought her retainers and servants with her, enduring many hardships along the way before arriving in Nanjing."
"She came here because she wanted to break off the engagement with the Li family."
The maid was curious: "Will the Cui family agree?"
The head of the Cui family, the second master, and some of their talented younger generations now hold official positions in the court. Although the Li family has had many scandals, nothing so major has happened that the Cui family cannot tolerate and is willing to betray their reputation.
Therefore, the Cui family must have not agreed, otherwise Cui Jiuniang would have come to Jinling on her own.
She wanted to persuade the head of the Cui family to make the decision for her.
But whether it can be accomplished depends on her ability.
"The wedding is almost here, in just over three months...it all depends on how she pulls it off."
"If she can really accomplish this, then this Cui Jiuniang will really have some admiration for me."
By then, recruiting Cui Jiuniang under my command might be of great help.
When we were eating roasted whole lamb, the two sisters of the Cui family did not come out.
Princess Qinyu asked the servants to deliver a leg of lamb directly to them in the tent, along with hot milk and some hot meals.
When it was finally taken out, they ate it all.
However, because of this incident, everyone lost interest in playing.
After dinner, the girls from each family prepared to go home.
After all, they were in the suburbs, and the way back was not short. The road was a bit slippery due to the melted snow. So although Nanping felt a little disappointed, he still asked the palace soldiers to send everyone out safely one by one.
Each family also brought their own servants and maids, and after getting ready, they set out in a mighty procession.
Li Qingluo deliberately fell behind, and when she got on the carriage, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Nanping.
"Your Highness, would you mind if we rode in the same carriage?"
Nanping was naturally very happy, and the two of them held hands and got into the princess's carriage together.
When Liu Qingzhu saw this scene, she was so angry that she almost shook the wooden frame of the carriage apart.
But then she sneered again: "It's okay, even if you hide in the carriage of the princess's mansion, so what? I wonder if you will be spared if you implicate Princess Nanping today!"
She had personally experienced rape and knew it was not a pleasant feeling.
