Ci Jinzhi Chapter 241

In an elegant courtyard of the eldest princess's residence, Kong Fu was talking to Xin You: "Sister Kou, I saw the evil person who bullied you. That person looked fierce and evil, and he didn't look like a good person. But don't worry, my uncle has punished him. ”

 “How shall we punish him now?” Xin You asked cooperatively.

This was the day after Princess Zhaoyang came to the palace to ask for an explanation for Xin You. Early in the morning, Princess Zhaoyang came to visit and mentioned that Xiao Lengshi had been dismissed from office, but it was far less detailed than what Kong Fu said vividly.

After hearing what the little girl said, Xin You was a little surprised: "Master Marquis has been appointed as the envoy of Nanzhen?"

She was not surprised that Xiao Lengshi was dismissed from office. This was the result of her own efforts. However, the appointment of Marquis Jing'an to replace Xiao Lengshi was unexpected.

“Well, my eldest brother recommended himself. He likes to be a Jinlin Guard.” Kong Fu knew little about his brother's hobbies and gave a simple and direct reason.

Xin You: “…” Your brother's hobby is really special.

“Sister Kou, take good care of yourself. When you are well, we will go see Bai Da and the others together.”

Xinyou stayed at the eldest princess's residence for two days. On the morning of the third day, someone came from Shaoqing's residence, and it was the second wife Zhu who came to visit in person.

"The family is very concerned about the girl, and the old lady has been having trouble sleeping for several days..." Mrs. Zhu expressed her intention to take Xinyou back.

Duke Zhaoyang wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he should ask Miss Kou what she meant instead of making his own decision, so he personally led Zhu to the small courtyard.

“It's time for me to go back. I'm not disturbing His Highness here, but I'm also thinking about my grandmother.” Xin You looked quiet and well-behaved.

Seeing her insistence, Princess Zhaoyang ordered her servants to prepare a spacious and comfortable carriage, followed by a carriage filled with various items, and went to Shaoqing's Mansion together with the carriage from Shaoqing's Mansion.

Xiao Lian and Grandma Fang accompanied Xin You into the car, and both of them felt relieved.

Xin You smiled and asked why, and Aunt Fang said truthfully: "Although the eldest princess is nice, she feels a little uncomfortable living in such a high-class house."

Xiao Lian had the same idea: "Girl, how long will we stay in Shaoqing's Mansion?"

In the little maid's mind, the real home for her and the girl is Qingsong Bookstore, and the people who are like relatives are Shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou, not the people in Shaoqing's Mansion.

Xin You was silent for a while and said softly: "I won't go back to the bookstore for the time being."

Xiao Lian and Aunt Fang both looked at her in surprise.

“Let's take good care of ourselves in Shaoqing's Mansion first. Xiaolian will stay with me, and the nanny will pay more attention to the shops.”

"The girl needs to be well taken care of. Don't worry, those shops are gradually replaced by our own people. The old slave will randomly check two or three shops every day. They don't dare to mess around..." Grandma Fang said about this period of time. The results of taking care of those stores.

Xiao Lian said nothing more, but she had doubts in her heart.

The girl would rather leave the Shaoqing Mansion when she has nothing left. Now that someone has money and a shop, why should she go back?

Since Aunt Fang was there, Xinyou closed her eyes to rest and said nothing more.

 There is a reason why she went back.

Since the decision was made to let Mr. Songling appear in front of that person, there is no possibility that Miss Kou will always be in Qingsong Bookstore. Shaoqing's Mansion is the best cover.

 She wanted to leave once, but now she wants to come back. She wants the same thing, both to let the person who killed her mother get the punishment she deserves and to avenge her mother.

 The carriage stopped and the Shaoqing's Mansion arrived.

The sturdy woman brought by Mrs. Zhu walked to the carriage and carried Xinyou to Ruyi Hall.

The old lady was waiting at the door of Ruyi Hall. When she saw Xin You, she asked anxiously: "Does your body still hurt?"

Xinyou lay on the back of her mother-in-law and looked at the old lady with red circles in her eyes.

Whether the old lady really has some feelings for her granddaughter or just shows it to others, it doesn't matter to her. Anyway, she is good at acting.

Xin You also blushed: "My body still hurts badly. Qing Qing is unfilial and makes grandma worried."

 The old lady hesitated, feeling a little uncomfortable with her crying granddaughter.

 Obviously my granddaughter used to love to cry. Duan Yunling's eyes were also red: "Cousin Qing, I heard they tortured you."

 She couldn't even go out once her grandmother and father spoke. Whenever this happens, I realize more deeply how powerful my cousin is.

"It's okay. I'm out, haven't I?" Xin You smiled at Duan Yunling, and then showed a painful look, "It's just that the injury needs to be healed slowly, and it will cause trouble to grandma."

　　"What is this? How can living at home be called trouble?"

"Grandma, I was able to come out safely this time. In addition to the neighbors in Beiloufang, I heard that some adults also spoke for me. I wonder if my family has ever thanked me?"

　　When this topic was mentioned, the old lady looked a little subtle: "Your uncle came to say thank you."

I just heard from my son that the minister from the Ministry of Finance had a pretty good attitude, but he didn't get to see the Imperial Academy offering wine.

 This also shows that these adults speaking for Qingqing have nothing to do with the Shaoqing Mansion, and are purely for Qingqing himself.

 “Then I'll feel at ease.”

Once the injury is healed, Xin You plans to thank Meng Jijiu and others in person, but not now.

After chatting for a few more words, seeing that Xinyou looked tired, the old lady asked her mother-in-law to take her back to Wanqing Residence to rest.

Xin You returned to Wanqingju and asked Aunt Fang to go back to Qingsong Bookstore first, so that Shopkeeper Hu and others could rest assured.

At night, Xiaolian applied medicine to Xinyou, and then asked: "Girl, do you really plan to live in Shaoqing's house permanently?"

 “I won't stay in Shaoqing's Mansion permanently, it's Miss Kou who comes back to live there.”

Xiao Lian's eyes were filled with confusion.

Xin You lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the whip marks on his arm.

A few days have passed and the wound has scabbed over, but the heartbreaking pain when the whip fell on my body will never be forgotten.

"Qingsong Bookstore not only has Miss Kou, but also Mr. Songling..." Xinyou murmured and gave an explanation.

Xiao Lian looked blank: "Girl, do you want to appear in front of people as Mr. Songling?"

Haven't Jinlinwei been looking for Mr. Songling? Wouldn't that girl have to disguise herself as a man to face many high-ranking officials, even...the emperor?

Just imagining Xin You disguised as a man and appearing in front of the emperor made Xiao Lian extremely nervous.

 After nearly a year of getting along, enough trust between the two has been established, and Xin You decided to reveal some inside information.

“Xiao Lian, have you heard about the rumors about Mr. Song Ling? They say that Mr. Song Ling is the queen who has been missing for many years.”

Xiao Lian nodded hesitantly.

She naturally heard about it, and she also knew a secret that no one else knew: the girl was Mr. Songling.

She also thought that if the rumors were true, the origin of the girl would be related to the missing queen. But if the girl doesn't tell, she won't ask.

 “The rumors are true.”

Hearing the affirmative answer from Xin You, Xiao Lian was shocked and asked subconsciously: "Then you and the Queen -"

"You only know that I came to the capital for the sake of the Queen. I will leave you to take care of something for another two days."

Xiao Lian stopped asking, tossed and turned at night, and suddenly sat up straight.

 The girl is a queen, and she looks similar to Princess Zhaoyang——

 Girl... Could it be that the girl is a princess!
