Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 157: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 36

The sisters who hurt others were tied up and thrown into the woodshed. Liu Bojiao had them brought up and untied them.

Liu Baijiao, who was sitting at the top, looked coldly at the two sisters on the ground with the same unconvinced look in their eyes, and said coldly: "I asked someone to check your identity information registered in the teahouse. You are not from Luoliu Village at all. Who are you?"

"Humph, who do you care who we are? Despicable and shameless."

Liu Baijiao sneered, "Your origins are unknown. If I say you are spies sent by the enemy country, I can directly send you to the Ministry of Punishment. That place is not a place for girls like you to go. I advise you to think carefully."

The sisters were silent. They knew very well that in such a feudal society with clear hierarchies, it would be as easy for the upper class to end their lives as crushing an ant.

If you want to escape, you can only do it slowly.

"My name is Gu Di, and my sister's name is Gu Li."

Liu Baijiao's eyes suddenly turned and he looked at his sister, and asked anxiously, "Which Gu, which Li?"

It was still my younger sister who answered, "Gu in ancient and modern times, Li in straw hat."

Liu Bojiao looked at the face that didn't resemble his cousin at all, and after a long while he sneered, "Stay."

There is no room for criticism.

Lan Zhu didn't come back until it was dark.

He told her everything he had heard in the mansion, and said coldly, "The prince seems to be particularly fond of the sister named Gu Li."

Gu Li raised her eyebrows. They had the same name, just with the same pronunciation but different characters.

"Never mind him. Thank you for your hard work. Go eat something first."

I didn't expect Liu Bojiao to start keeping a mistress. Is he afraid of Zhang Jinwei? What an unexpected surprise.

"County Lady, I discovered that in addition to me, the princess also sent people to the prince's private residence."

"Oh, have you been discovered?"

Lan Zhu shook her head. "Chu Jiu, who was beside the prince, helped me cover it up. I followed that person all the way to the Prince's Mansion and saw him enter the West Garden with my own eyes."

"The prince also sent someone?" Gu Li almost laughed out loud. Liu Bojiao was such an idiot that he kept a mistress and made everyone know about it.

Zhang Jinwei already knows about this matter, so she doesn't need to take any action for the time being. She should just wait and see what happens.

At this moment, Chu Yansheng had also finished listening to Chu Jiu's report, and his face was so cold that ice chips could fall off. It was clearly the beginning of summer, but the room was as cold as winter.

Chu Jiuhan's hair stood on end and he dared not breathe.

Chu Jiu, who knew his master well, knew that the prince was very angry at the moment, but he couldn't figure out why the prince was so angry.

Chu Yansheng lowered his eyes and looked at the half-polished magnolia hairpin in his hand. Thinking of the warm jade-like face he saw in the daytime, he curled his lips silently.

The prince's lips moved, and his voice was very soft. Chu Jiu could not hear it clearly. He could only vaguely judge from the shape of his mouth that the prince seemed to say: It's too late.

late?

What's late?

"You go down first and let Chu San in." Lan Zhu and Lan Yu were martial maids, and they had only seen Chu Jiu among the secret guards.

Soon, Chu San came in dressed in black.

Chu Yansheng whispered some instructions and finally reminded: "If they want to leave, help them. Otherwise, kill them all." Especially the one named Gu Li.

Don't think that he doesn't know what Liu Bojiao is thinking. He is not worthy of it at all!

He would never allow Liu Bojiao to keep a mistress with the same name as the county lord, thus tarnishing the county lord's reputation.

No one knew what method Zhang Jinwei used, but Gu Li only had to wait in the mansion for a few days before Liu Baijiao brought the two sisters into the mansion.

It was said that it was unsafe to live outside. If it weren't for the royal guards who swore to protect them, the sisters would have almost died at the hands of the assassin.

Both sisters were slightly injured, so the court doctor went to Xiyuan with them.

Liu Baijiao was very concerned about these sisters, but they were still nameless bed-warming maids.

----

On the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhang Jinwei prepared all the ingredients for making rice dumplings in the Lotus Pavilion in the West Garden, and asked Gu Li to come and make the dumplings and weave colorful strings.

Thanks to the care of the hostess, the lotus pond in Xiyuan is growing better than ever. Lotuses of different varieties are blooming one after another, crowding together and covering the entire surface of the water.

Zhang Jinwei seemed to notice Gu Li's absent-mindedness. She smiled and said, "This year, two new varieties of lotus and lotus were planted in this small lake. They are old plants that were transplanted. I didn't expect them to bloom this year. The county lady is at an age where she loves to play. If she wants to pick lotus flowers, there are small boats ready over there."

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

She and Zhang Jinwei had no old grudges or new grievances, and the two cousins ​​had always gotten along well.

Gu Li wrapped two rice dumplings to suit the occasion and couldn't wait to ask Lan Yu to row the boat so that they could squeeze into the endless green lotus leaves to pick flowers.

When Gu Li had enough fun and brought a small boat full of lotus flowers ashore, Zhang Jinwei was no longer in the pavilion.

Only the nanny beside her remained where she was. "County Lady, the shopkeeper outside just came to see the princess for something, and the princess is in a hurry to deal with it. If the county lady wants to continue making rice dumplings or go out for fun, it's fine."

Gu Li was in a good mood distributing the fresh lotus flowers and picked out a large bunch. "This is my gift to my cousin's wife. Thank you for her hospitality today."

Mammy quickly took over, "Thank you, County Lady. When the rice dumplings are cooked, I will send them to you as soon as possible!"

Lan Yu and Bai Shuang each held a large bunch of lotus flowers and followed Gu Li back. When they passed a path, a slender woman walked out of the bamboo forest nearby.

Judging from his clothes, he is not a servant.

But there are only three masters in the palace.

So, there is no need to guess, and you know the identity of the person who comes.

But I don’t know which one of the many concubines this person is.

If Lan Zhu were here, she would be able to recognize that she is the older sister of the two sisters from the concubine's family.

"How dare you! Which person in this courtyard doesn't know the rules? Don't you know how to bow and give way when you see the county lady?" Bai Shuang showed her face from the lotus pile and scolded the woman standing opposite them who had no manners at all.

The woman knelt and saluted awkwardly, but she did not move aside and stared straight at Gu Li with her eyes.

Lan Yu held the flowers in one hand and was about to teach this disrespectful maid a lesson, but was stopped by Gu Li.

"Do you know this county lady?"

The woman shook her head slightly, her thin body standing there, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.

"I don't recognize the county lady, but I know her." The woman took two steps forward and approached Gu Li, lowering her voice. "The prince always calls me A Li, A Li, but I know he is not calling me. The way he looks at me is strange, as if he is looking through me for the person he wants to see! Does the county lady know who the prince really wants to see?"

"How dare you." Lan Yu sneered and slapped the woman in the face.

The speed was so fast that Gu Li didn't even have the chance to open her mouth. Forget it, let's teach this crazy woman a lesson.

The woman's face was twisted to one side and blood was oozing from the corner of her mouth, but she was not afraid. She turned her head and continued to look at Gu Li.

"The prince came to see me at night and forbade me to light a lamp. When he was emotional, he called me cousin Agasa!"

Gu Li, who was enjoying watching the show, suddenly turned cold.
