Chapter 75: Careful Works

The Queen, the Second Prince, and Xia Miaoyuan all looked out the door when they heard the voice.

They saw a pretty figure standing at the door.

[Wow! A beautiful lady!]

[When did the Third Uncle's family become so rich? They actually bought such a beautiful young lady to be their maid!]

Xia Miaoyuan looked at the maid's face and couldn't help complaining.

The Queen and the Second Prince were also very surprised.

Although the maid was wearing the most ordinary dress, her face was very pretty.

"What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Why don't you greet the guests?" Xiao Licheng saw the maid standing still at the door and hurriedly ordered.

The maid heard it and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow to everyone.

"Stand up quickly." The Queen said in a gentle tone.

"Just do what you should do, don't be so formal. Don't delay your master from taking medicine."

Seeing the queen's kind attitude, the maid stood up and brought the medicine into the house.

"Madam, please drink this medicine while it's hot. I have specially prepared candied fruit. You can take one after taking the medicine to get rid of the bitter taste."

After the maid finished speaking, she quietly withdrew.

Perhaps she caught a glimpse of the queen's look at the maid, Jiang Yuru introduced: "This is the new maid in the mansion, her name is Zhang Xiaoya." "

These days, Xiaoya is so helpful. After I got sick, I felt uncomfortable and had difficulty falling asleep. Fortunately, Xiaoya knows some massage skills and often helps me massage." Jiang Yuru said, sat up a little, and started to drink the medicine.

The Queen curled her lips and said, "Ru'er praised a maid so much, so she must be very outstanding?"

"Speaking of which, this Zhang Xiaoya really has a connection with our family." Jiang Yuru mentioned Zhang Xiaoya, and she seemed to be instantly interested.

"Yes, Ru'er is right." Xiao Licheng echoed.

[Zhang Xiaoya? This name is so familiar! ]

Xia Miaoyuan tried hard to recall.

The Queen listened attentively to her daughter's voice and deliberately asked, "Why do you say that?" and led Xiao Licheng and his wife to continue talking.

"This Zhang Xiaoya was rescued by Licheng." Jiang Yuru's tone was full of pride.

"Oh? There is this matter?" The Queen turned her head and glanced at Xiao Licheng.

Xiao Licheng smiled embarrassedly: "Ruer is right."

"More than two months ago, I went out to do something. On the way back, I suddenly met bandits chasing a man and a woman."

"I found the bandits so hateful, so I led people to beat the bandits away and saved them."

[It turned out to be a hero saving a beauty! Strange, why does this plot seem familiar? ]

"The woman is Zhang Xiaoya? Is the man her husband?" asked the queen.

Xiao Licheng nodded: "Yes, the woman is Zhang Xiaoya, but the man is her brother, Zhang Dashan."

[What? Brother and sister? The sister is Zhang Xiaoya and the brother is Zhang Dashan! I remember these two people! But why are they at my uncle's house? ! ]

Xia Miaoyuan's eyes widened in shock.

The empress, the second prince, and Xiao Licheng were all slightly surprised when they heard this.

"When I asked, I found out that these two siblings were from Tongcheng. They said that their parents had passed away, and the local landlord bullied them, and wanted to take Zhang Xiaoya as a concubine." Xiao Licheng paused and continued. "

They couldn't afford to offend the landlord, and they didn't want Zhang Xiaoya to jump into the fire pit, so they wanted to go to Beijing to work and make a living."

"When I rescued them, Zhang Dashan had been chopped by the bandits, and the injuries were serious. Although Zhang Xiaoya was not injured, she was also seriously frightened."

"So I just did a good thing and brought them to the mansion."

Xia Miaoyuan rubbed her hands excitedly.

[Brother and sister, elder brother Zhang Dashan, younger sister Zhang Xiaoya, from Tongcheng, their parents passed away, they were bullied by bullies, and on the way to Beijing they met bandits... they met, they met. ] [

Aren't these the pair of secret brothers and sisters that Master Jiang met in the book? ]

What? Secret brothers and sisters?

The queen and the other two were all shocked, but they tried their best to keep calm.

"So, Licheng, you are really their savior." The queen pretended to be appreciative and glanced at Xiao Licheng.

Jiang Yuru smiled from the bottom of her heart and said, "So, good deeds are rewarded. Licheng saved them, and now I am being taken care of by Zhang Xiaoya."

While Xia Miaoyuan was listening to the adults' conversation, he quickly searched for the plot about Zhang Xiaoya and her brother in his mind.

【I remember that in the book, it was definitely Master Jiang who was the hero who saved the beauty. 】

【After Master Jiang attempted to usurp the throne, he once went on a secret tour and encountered Zhang Xiaoya and her brother who were being chased by bandits, and rescued them. 】 【

After that, Zhang Xiaoya entered the palace and became a maid.

】 【Because she was really beautiful, Old Man Jiang took her into the harem. 】

【Zhang Xiaoya quickly captured Old Man Jiang's heart and became his favorite concubine. 】

【Later, Zhang Xiaoya poisoned Old Man Jiang's wife and killed her. 】

【Without the queen in the harem, the favorite concubine became the one with the highest status in the harem. 】

【Later, Zhang Xiaoya seduced Old Man Jiang, prompting him to do many things that cost the people money and labor. 】

【Because he was too favored, Zhang Dashan was also made a marquis. Later, Zhang Dashan also relied on his status to do evil. 】

【In short, Zhang Xiaoya is like a demon concubine. 】

【And the true identity of the brothers and sisters is actually spies sent by Liang State, who are dedicated to disrupting the court and undermining national strength. 】

What? Liang State spies!

Hearing these words, the queen and the other two froze for a moment.

【Strange, why did the plot collapse like this? 】

【What should have happened to Master Jiang actually happened to the third uncle. 】

Xia Miaoyuan pondered.

【Could it be because the plot of his mother falling off a cliff and dying has changed, bringing about a series of butterfly effects? 】

[That's right. Now the Jiang family is doomed and no longer has the power to usurp the throne. It is completely different from the development in the book. ]

[The Xiao family, which should have been doomed in the book, is thriving instead. ]

[So, the prince of Liang sent spies to harm my uncle? ]

Xia Miaoyuan shuddered when he thought of this.

[So, in other words, Zhang Xiaoya poisoned my aunt! ]

[Or it can be said that my aunt's illness was caused by Zhang Xiaoya! ]

[Oh, third uncle, look at who you saved. ]

[You think you are doing a righteous act, but others think you are a fool. ]

[Pay attention to Zhang Xiaoya, otherwise your family will be finished. ]

When Xiao Licheng heard the word poisoning, he felt cold all over.

What? His wife's illness was caused by Zhang Xiaoya's poisoning?

"I remember that Ru'er started to get sick more than two months ago?" The queen asked deliberately after she calmed Jin'er down.

The third brother's family has been targeted by Liang State spies and is in danger. They must be saved no matter what.

"Yes, Zhang Xiaoya and his sister entered the mansion first, and Ru'er got sick later." Upon learning that his wife was poisoned by the spies, Xiao Licheng deliberately said this.

He only hoped that his words would attract his sister's attention and suspect Zhang Xiaoya.

The queen smiled and said, "Licheng, sister thinks that you are a little too trusting."
