Chapter 86 This ghost, I will catch you sooner or later

Jiujiu hurriedly ran into her room, without even bothering to take off her shoes, and hid under the quilt.

The small figure was trembling.

The remaining maids told Jiujiu that Nanny Gui didn't hear it, but they did. However, Jiujiu didn't believe it.

"You are lying to me."

"You saw I was crying, so you lied to me?"

"Go away! Go away now."

Jiujiu whimpered and chased people away, like a little coward.

Girl: "Princess, it's broad daylight, there really are no ghosts!"

Jiujiu didn't believe it and wrapped herself in the quilt for a long time.

Until she remembered the time she made such a fuss in the King of Hell's Palace.

At that time, there were ghosts all around her, and she was also a ghost, so she was not afraid of ghosts, and she gave those little ghosts a lot of trouble.

Now that she's a human being and has been living in the rich and powerful's nest for a long time, she actually starts to be afraid of ghosts?

How shameful!

Jiujiu didn't want to be so embarrassed, so she lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and looked for ghosts everywhere, muttering: "Let Jiujiu take a look? Which ghost is crying?"

It's not a ghost.

It was Concubine An who just passed by and was crying!

When Concubine An was pregnant with the third prince, she was poisoned and almost lost both her and her child. Fortunately, she met a good doctor who performed acupuncture and detoxification at the critical moment, thus saving her and her child.

However, there are some residual poisons in her body that cannot be completely eliminated.

The doctor was worried that the remaining poison would harm her and the third prince, so he tried to divert the remaining poison to her face.

As a result, Concubine An's face was covered with pockmarks, which ruined her appearance.

The third prince also failed to escape and was born with a pockmarked face.

As a result, both mother and son lost their sanctity and were despised everywhere.

In order to avoid those voices of disgust, the mother and son generally do not go out easily and stay in their own world more often.

The reason why Concubine An went out today was because the third prince’s engagement was broken off.

When the third prince was still in Concubine An's belly, he was engaged to the daughter of Minister Sun. It was the Sun family who took the initiative to arrange the engagement.

At that time, Shangshu Sun’s official position was not high. He was just a minor official of the fifth rank. It was only in recent years that he was promoted to Shangshu.

But now, seeing that both children have reached marriageable age, marriage has been put on the table.

However, the Sun family proposed to cancel the engagement because the third prince had pockmarks on his face, was not favored by the emperor, and had no future.

Although they did not explicitly state the reason for breaking off the engagement, anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

Lady An is feeling very miserable!

But there was nothing she could do and she could only let her son's engagement be broken off.

All in all, my son was the first prince in history to have his engagement broken off.

I'm afraid I'll become a laughing stock in the court and harem.

You will never be able to marry a royal concubine in the future.

Their future days will be even more difficult!

Concubine An started to cry uncomfortably and kept crying. She did not stop even when she passed by Qiu Shui Ju, which led to Jiujiu's misunderstanding.

Jiujiu searched for the person for a long time but couldn't find him. She finally gave up, but she was still muttering.

"This ghost, I will catch you sooner or later."

"Just wait and see!"

Jiujiu returned to Qiu Shui Ju. She was a little hungry, so she drank some goat milk.

Seeing that there were no one in Qiushui Residence, she called out, "Mother, Thirteenth Brother?"

No one responded.

Qiu Shui Ju was completely silent.

"Strange, where are the people?"

"Why are they all gone?"

After muttering to herself for a while, Jiujiu prepared to go out to look for Concubine Li.

Little did they know that Concubine Li and the Thirteenth Prince were also looking for Jiujiu at this moment.

Jiujiu has been missing since this morning, and no servant told Concubine Li where Jiujiu had gone.

Jiujiu did not go back to Qiu Shui Ju for breakfast or lunch.

How could Princess Li not worry?

She thought something had happened to Jiujiu and was scared, so she took the Thirteenth Prince to look for her everywhere.

Jiujiu searched the palace for Concubine Li and the Thirteenth Prince.

These two groups of people were looking for each other, but they just didn't meet each other, which was very funny.

By the time the two sides collided, it was already evening.

The two groups of people were taken to the imperial study by the royal guards, and they finally met each other.

Concubine Li was very worried. When she saw Jiujiu, she rushed forward and hugged Jiujiu and cried. After she finished crying, she asked, "Jiujiu, where have you been? Mother is so worried about you."

"Thirteenth brother is worried about you." The Thirteenth Prince said with a sob.

Emperor Zhaoning: "Jiujiu, who kidnapped you? Tell your father quickly, and he will avenge you!"

Concubine Li and Emperor Zhaoning were so worried that they lost their minds. They couldn't calm down and think about Jiujiu's disappearance. They thought Jiujiu was kidnapped.

The palace is so huge, who dares to attack Jiujiu in the palace?

Are you tired of living?

Jiujiu said: "Jiujiu is fine! No one has kidnapped Jiujiu, and no one has done anything to Jiujiu."

"Really?" Emperor Zhaoning and Concubine Li asked in unison, with doubt in their voices.

"Really! Really!" Jiujiu nodded heavily.

But the two still didn't believe it.

Jiujiu feels very powerless.

[Why don't my cheap father and mother believe Jiujiu? ]

[Jiujiu really didn't go anywhere? She just went to the Zhiguan, visited Brother Dijiang, and earned another 60,000 taels of silver.]

[Although I didn’t have a proper meal for a whole day and only drank goat milk a few times, it was still worth it. ]

[Sixty thousand taels of silver, nine out of ten would make you a wealthy woman.]

What?

Sixty thousand taels of silver?

The Thirteenth Prince was so shocked that he was speechless.

Emperor Zhaoning and Concubine Li were frightened by the number in Jiujiu's mind. They both stopped pretending and looked at each other, seeing great shock in each other's eyes.

Sixty thousand taels of silver is no small sum.

The annual salary of an official was only about a thousand taels of silver.

Jiujiu, a child of three and a half years old, actually earned 60,000 taels of silver?

How does she make money?

Emperor Zhaoning glanced at Concubine Li. Concubine Li could also hear Jiujiu's thoughts, and he didn't bother to ask more about what was exposed today. He was just curious about the incident in front of him.

"Jiujiu, what on earth have you been doing?" How did you earn so much money?

Emperor Zhaoning was full of doubts.

Jiujiu covered her bulging sleeves. The 60,000 taels of silver notes she earned were all in her sleeves.

But no one can see it.

Otherwise, someone will definitely snatch it away.

Jiujiu was very careful, and waved her hands with a smile: "No... I didn't do anything..."

"Really?" Emperor Zhaoning said, "I heard that Jiujiu made a lot of money today. Jiujiu is not willing to tell father about it?"

"Father, how did you know?"

Jiujiu felt guilty and couldn't help but wonder if it was those three old guys who went to file a complaint?

How dare they file a complaint?

This is poking her lungs!

Jiujiu felt a little depressed.

Emperor Zhaoning said, "Father heard it from people around Jiujiu."

"…People around you?"

It seems that it is not those three old guys.

Who around her said that?

Jiujiu's eyes swept over the people following her one by one.

Who on earth was it? Who on earth was it? How dare he betray her?

Woo woo woo, Jiujiu’s little heart hurts so much!
