Chapter 255 Qian Family Mother and Daughter
"But I heard from someone outside today that the child was originally intended to be given to the king's concubine, but then, somehow, it was given to our master."
Everyone in the Baihua Courtyard fell silent, and the smile that Concubine Zhao had originally raised instantly fell.
Before Concubine Zhao could say anything, the maid Sufang took the initiative to glare at Suyue.
"What do you know? The prince naturally thinks that the concubine can't educate our fifth young lady. How can a girl from a merchant family compare to our master?"
"That's right. In terms of family background and appearance, our master is much better than that concubine of the king."
"Your Majesty has sharp eyes and can tell the difference at a glance."
Outside the courtyard gate, Wang's concubine and her servant stood for a long time after hearing these voices, with extremely ugly faces.
The maid behind her wanted to go in and argue, but was stopped by Wang's concubine.
When they were far away, Wang Shiqi said, "Just pretend I was never here today. Go back first!"
Concubine Zhao listened to these flatteries and looked at the baby sleeping in front of her, and she felt so relieved.
"Alright, stop talking, Su Yue, from now on you will be responsible for taking care of this child."
Su Yue knew that she had said the wrong thing accidentally, and quickly responded: "Yes"
Ji Yunqing observed the child anxiously for a few days and invited the court doctor for three consecutive days. The child was eating, drinking and playing well, so he was finally relieved.
At the same time, the princess investigated and finally found out the whole story of the poisoning.
"Concubine Ji, the person who poisoned her did it very secretly. The princess found out that the poison was done by Concubine Qian."
"Qian concubine?"
Ji Yunqing's face was full of doubt.
Don't lie to me. Concubine Qian has been pregnant for a long time. She doesn't believe that someone would try to plot against others while giving birth to a child.
The maid also thought that this result was ridiculous, but the princess checked it several times and found out that this was the result.
Ji Yunqing raised her eyelids and looked at the maid sent by the Princess of the Main Courtyard to explain to her:
"Oh, Concubine Qian plotted against Ruirui, could it be that she also plotted against her own premature birth in July? This is really a life-threatening frame-up!"
"Hmm..." The maid said, not even confidently: "Concubine Qian also tried to harm Concubine Cen. Concubine Cen's bleeding that night was also planned by Concubine Qian."
Ji Yunqing: “…”
Ji Yunqing asked sincerely: "Does Concubine Qian know how powerful she is?"
The maidservant couldn't help but said, "Ji Shufei, I don't know about this either, but I watched from the main courtyard. The princess did check it several times, and she couldn't believe the result either."
Nodding, Ji Yunqing understood a little.
This was a clever trick to frame that person behind the scenes, or the princess was willing to risk being called a fool in order to protect the other person.
The second possibility is less likely, that is the first one.
The little maidservant continued, "Concubine Lou is unkind. You are confined to your house for three months. Although you went out during the confinement period, you had your reasons, but it broke the rules of the mansion. You must be punished and confined to your house for one month."
This punishment is the same as no punishment. Ji Yunqing was originally under house arrest.
The Chinese New Year will begin in a month, which will not prevent her from attending the New Year’s Eve banquet.
After she finished speaking, the little maid felt much better. You see, our princess is still very clear in rewarding and punishing.
Ji Yunqing did not embarrass the little maid, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I don't mean to blame you, good girl, thank you for troubling you today."
She gave a look to Hemerocallis beside her, who immediately stepped forward and grabbed the little maid.
"Our master is not angry with you and will not implicate you. Let's talk over here..."
Ji Yunqing thought slowly, who could be the person that even the princess couldn't find out?
No matter what, she had to find out as soon as possible where those two diapers came from.
It can't possibly appear out of thin air, right?
A few days after Concubine Qian passed away, the Qian family came to visit.
The mansion allowed the Qian family to come and collect Qian Shiqi's belongings as a remembrance.
Qian's mother's eyes were red and swollen, her face was haggard, and she kept muttering in a daze: "Daughter, my daughter..."
He was supported by a girl of about sixteen or seventeen with a white flower on her head. The girl had black hair that fell softly behind her like a waterfall, and her plain clothes made her figure look slender and graceful.
The girl comforted Qian's mother from time to time: "Mom, don't be too sad. If my sister is still alive, she will feel sorry for you."
The girl has a good voice, her voice is so ethereal and pleasant that people can't help but stop and listen.
"Nier, how can I not feel heartbroken? Your sister is such a good child, diligent and sensible, she is the apple of my eye!!!"
The blush at the corners of the girl's eyes makes her look even more charming.
"Mom, my sister is gone now, please let her go peacefully."
The mother and daughter were extremely sad. After Qian's mother and daughter had suppressed their sadness and packed up their daughter's things, they slowly spoke:
"The master of the mansion is so tolerant that he allowed us to come and see Danier. We can't be ungrateful. Can you help lead the way so that we can thank the princess in person?"
"This one……"
The servant who was cleaning Concubine Qian's yard was in a dilemma. How could she dare to make the decision without the princess's order?
But when the two of them were packing up their things just now, they were very restrained. They didn't take any valuables because of the money, nor did they become greedy.
She just packed up a few items commonly used by concubines without looking around, which was really quite well-behaved.
Seeing the maid hesitate, Qian's mother was disappointed and said, "I just want to thank the princess for not making things difficult for you.
We, mother and son, will kowtow to our master from a distance, as our last act of kindness for our eldest daughter!"
Erni held onto her mother's arm and said with tears in her eyes, "Sister, please, my sister is dead. As her younger sister, this is the only thing I can do for her."
As she said this, she pretended to kneel down.
How could the maid dare to ask her to kneel down?
He quickly helped her up and confirmed, "You just want to kowtow from a distance?"
"Yes, it is"
Mother Qian nodded repeatedly.
The maid finally made up her mind and nodded: "Okay then!"
"You follow me."
When Concubine Qian was around, she wasn't too bad to her. Now her family's only wish isn't too troublesome, so she's willing to help.
Concubine Qian and her daughter were led by a maid to a place 500 meters away from the main courtyard, where the maid stopped.
"Sister, why don't you leave?"
Qian Ernier saw the maid stop and asked in confusion.
Qian's mother also asked with concern: "Child, are you tired from walking?"
"No," the maid shook her head, "the main courtyard is in front."
The girl was delighted, "What are you waiting for? Go over there quickly!"
Qian's mother also said: "Let's go quickly"
The maid was puzzled: "Why are you still going? The main courtyard is in front of you. Can't you just kowtow here?"
The Qian family mother and daughter: "..."
Who will see me kowtow here?
