Qu Li is naturally sensitive to danger.
In addition, her medical skills were superb. Most of the wounds on the girl's body were knife wounds, and the left one was deep and the right one was shallow. It was obvious that she had cut herself with her teeth gritted and eyes closed.
It’s not that she likes to think the worst of people, but it’s just that in ancient times, there were endless shady tricks.
Changle pondered this seriously, muttering, "Could it be that someone arranged for this girl to be with my seventh cousin?"
She was born in the Grand Princess's Mansion, so naturally she had seen many people who liked to use torture to get close to others.
My seventh cousin-in-law has offended so many people recently...
"Since the other party has sent someone here, I will naturally follow his wishes and keep the person by my side to see what he wants to do." Qu Li had a playful smile on his face.
"I've been living in Prince Chen's Mansion for the time being, and I'll help my seventh cousin-in-law keep an eye on her!"
Qu Li nodded and smiled.
"By the way, Seventh Cousin, I've saved some money too. I'd like to use it to run the Shanshan Healthy Food Restaurant with you, is that okay?"
Before going back, Changle stared at those big KISS ME eyes again, her face full of anticipation.
Qu Li was amused by her and poked her soft cheek, "Aren't you afraid that the Grand Princess will say that I have made you stinking of money?"
Changle pursed his lips and said, "What in this world can be accomplished without money? Don't listen to those literati and poets who say they despise money. In reality, they're just sour grapes."
Her straightforwardness was exactly what Qu Li wanted.
The smile on his lips deepened a little, "Okay, let's go to the clinic to see that girl."
"Yeah." Changle nodded continuously like a squirrel that had gotten a pine cone.
When they arrived at the clinic, the girl's injuries had already been treated.
The doctor was about to tell Qu Li about her injuries, but the girl struggled to get up, not caring whether it would stretch the wound.
"Don't move! The wound is bleeding again." Qu Li's face was full of pity, and he didn't show any vigilance in his heart.
"Caiju thanks Madam for saving my life!" Caiju kowtowed to her with tears in her eyes.
Changle stood aside and looked at her coldly as she acted hypocritically.
If it weren't for my seventh cousin's wife being cautious by nature, she might have been fooled by this little bitch.
Look at how much they cry, it's heartbreaking!
Qu Li patted her hands and said, "My driver said those people were thugs from the gambling house. How could you, a girl, mess with people from the gambling house?"
Caiju sobbed, "It's because of Caiju's father! He owed gambling debts and couldn't pay them back, so the casino wanted to use Caiju to pay off the debt!"
"How can there be such a bad father?" Changle clenched his fists angrily and cursed with gritted teeth.
Qu Li frowned: "Where's your father?"
Caiju wiped the tears from her face and said, "Dad fell off a cliff when he was running away from his debts..."
Qu Li said "hmm" lightly with an expressionless face.
Caiju raised her tearful eyes and looked at her secretly.
Most people would definitely believe her tragic words and sympathize with her, right?
Why is there no expression on Princess Chen's face?
Before she could think further, Changle urged her to continue.
Cai Ju suppressed all his thoughts and reminded himself to be careful.
She continued to speak, choking with sobs several times.
Changle sighed: "Seventh cousin, she is also a miserable person!"
"Are there any other people in your family?"
Caiju shook her head.
Seeing Qu Li's embarrassed frown, she quickly said, "Cai Ju is very strong and can do anything. Madam, can you give Cai Ju a place to stay?"
Changle was slightly surprised.
My seventh cousin’s wife was right.
This person really has other thoughts.
"Are you very strong?" Qu Li asked.
Caiju nodded vigorously.
"But I'm not short of people around me!"
Caiju opened her mouth.
"I can help you arrange to be a maid in someone else's house. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you! You don't have to sign a death contract!"
"Madam, if I want to stay by your side, even if it means a death contract, Caiju is willing to sign it!" Caiju's face was full of desire.
Changle took Qu Li's sleeve and they went to a corner.
"Seventh cousin, who do you think she is?"
"Her fingertips have calluses, she must have done rough work before!"
Qu Li frowned, his eyes full of speculation.
This cleverness is very similar to that of the first-class maid beside her.
But the fingers of a first-class maid would not be so rough.
For the time being, she didn't want to delve into who sent Cai Ju. Since the other party was trying so hard to be by her side, she would give him this opportunity.
"Alright, I understand your miserable life and will take you back. As promised, if you return with me, you'll have to sign a death contract!"
Caiju pursed her lips, then kowtowed deeply, "I understand!"
"Your injuries still need to be healed, so you should stay in the clinic for the time being! I will ask the shopkeeper to find a secluded place for you and have someone take good care of you!"
"Thank you, ma'am."
Qu Li and Changle returned to Prince Chen's Mansion, and Xiao Xian was waiting in Qinghe Garden with a gloomy face.
Changle curled her lips and sat down opposite him: "Seventh cousin, who owes you money? Your face is so black that it's almost as dark as ash at the bottom of the pot!"
Xiao Xian's face turned pale: "Guangping, take Changle to the side hall first."
"Seventh cousin, what's wrong with you? I'm warning you, if you dare to bully Seventh cousin's wife, I will never let you go!"
Qu Li gave Changle a calm and soothing look, then said lightly: "Is there something wrong?"
"Father has already issued an imperial decree regarding the matter of the Eastern Suburbs Academy."
“As expected.”
"The emperor even reprimanded me."
"Why did the Emperor rebuke you?"
Even if he wanted to reprimand her, he should have summoned her into the palace and given her a good scolding. Why did he reprimand Xiao Xian?
Seeing Xiao Xian's eyes grow even colder, Qu Li belatedly said, "Could it be because you favor your concubine over your wife?"
Xiao Xian watched her with mockery in her eyes, and the words the emperor said rang in his ears again.
—Ah Xian, no matter how angry you were about marrying Qu Li, she is already the Princess of Chen! You were the first to be crowned king, and although you earned it, there are still those who refuse to accept it! Today, Da Gan may seem to be at peace, but I know there are problems everywhere!
——The Censorate has repeatedly reported you for favoring your concubine and neglecting your wife. This is truly a disgrace for all men in the world. I feel ashamed!
——I have been married to your mother for nearly thirty years. Even though she has four concubines and countless beauties, I still give her the honor and favor she deserves.
Thinking of Qu Li's actions of deliberately keeping Bai Fengyao at the Grand Princess' birthday banquet and allowing Bai Fengyao to slander her, Xiao Xian vaguely realized that Qu Li seemed to have really turned her heart away from him and wanted to leave!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel restless.
Looking at everything in Qinghe Garden, this restlessness became more and more intense, so much so that when Qu Li and Changle came in chatting and laughing, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
Qu Li didn't want to offend him, so he touched the tip of his nose, poured himself a cup of tea, and sipped it slowly.
