I subconsciously felt something was wrong. When I first met, I thought of the words she said, "I've seen you" that made me more confused. I frowned and asked her, "What's going on?"

Su Su looked at me with red eyes: "Miss, it's been several days since I arrived in Jinling."

"What? You've been there for several days?"

"Um."

"Then why are you-"

Before I finished asking, I felt something at once. I looked at her anxiously. Susu sniffed and said softly: "But I came here and was driven away by them before I even entered the gate. They wouldn't let me in at all. I said I was your personal girl, and they didn't listen."

“…”

"They don't let me come in to see you at all."

“…”

I didn't speak immediately, but was silent for a while and asked, "When did it happen?"

She thought for a while and said, "About four or five days ago, I came several times."

“…”

This time, my face became slightly gloomy.

Four or five days ago, Miaoyan and I went to Yangzhou to meet Pei Yuanhao for a day, and then returned to Jinling... At that time, someone was in the bathroom, and then, the two sisters of the Han family set up that "Hongmen Banquet" to convince me to agree to let Pei Yuanxiu take a concubine.

At that time, Su Su had arrived in Jinling, but was turned away by them.

I think that in this mansion, except Pei Yuanxiu, Miaoyan, and Yao Lao who was slightly closer to me, I could be said to be completely isolated and helpless. Su Su, who came from Jixiang Village with me, was the only person around me, but once she stayed in Xichuan, I had no one to trust followed me.

Of course they don’t want such a person around me, otherwise, how can they fiddle with me?

I think that at that time, they probably felt that they were sure to win, and they didn't care what would happen if I discovered in the future. After all, if things really happened, Han Ruoshi would be Pei Yuanxiu's second wife. It would be a trivial matter to drive away a little girl by a second wife.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sneer.

Maybe I have never seen this way I looked like this before, Su Su was also a little surprised and couldn't recover when she looked at me.

After a while, she said softly: "Miss, you are in this mansion - what's wrong?"

I thought about it and didn't intend to hide too much. After all, at this time, Su Su knew the seriousness of the matter so that she could really help me. So I told her all the major events that had happened these days in a concise way. Su Su was amazed at the sound of it. When she heard that someone was going to attack me when I was bathing, she almost succeeded, and her face suddenly became dark.

She hurriedly said, "Miss is not injured, isn't it?"

I shook my head.

She gritted her teeth with hatred: "They are so brave, they actually dare to attack the young lady!"

Seeing her angry, she seemed to want to immediately push all those people into the eighteenth level of hell, I was faint and even a little funny. Speaking of which, I was just the eldest lady of Xichuan, but in Jinling, I had no body and no power of my own. The only Qingyun Embroidery House that I created was now owned by Yunxiang, and I am just a woman who is called "Madam" and is actually worthless.

However, I remembered something again, turned to ask her, "By the way, they have never allowed you to come in, so how did you meet Butu?" Su Su heard it and hurriedly said, "I didn't meet him, I met that Gu Ping."

"Gu Ping?" I was stunned for a moment: "Ping'er?"

"Yeah." She nodded and said, "I can't come in, and no one can help me communicate, so I can only find an inn to stay. As a result, just as I came out of the room today, I heard someone drinking and causing trouble on the first floor of the inn. I heard the sound familiar. When I went down, I saw that it was Gu Ping."

"So, you met him, he brought you over and found Butu?"

"Yes, so I can come into the mansion to meet the eldest lady. Otherwise, I will still be delayed in the inn."

After hearing what she said, I couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, when she was following me in Jixiang Village, Gu Ping would bring his brothers from the military camp to my yard every month to help me do some heavy work, chop firewood or repair the roof. After a while, they met, otherwise, I really didn't know when Su Su would be delayed.

but--

Ping'er is drinking and causing trouble in the restaurant?

I couldn't help but frown. How could he get into such a bad habit at such a young age?

I asked, "Where are other people?"

"Take me in and after seeing that Butu, he left."

"oh……"

I sighed. It seemed that I would have to find some time to talk to him. He is still young now and must not get into any bad habits. If his path is deflected, it will have a very bad impact on the future.

I turned around and looked at Susu, and smiled and said, "No matter what, you came, and you helped me a lot."

Su Su nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Miss, I will take good care of Miss Miaoyan."

"It's not just taking care of it." I thought about it and said with a serious expression: "Miaoyan was found in the princess's bridal chamber. The princess was killed. She is very likely to see the murderer."

Su Su was shocked all of a sudden.

"It would be fine if the murderer was just an ordinary killer, even if he saw it, the chances he could find were not great. But if--"

I looked back at Miaoyan and felt more and more serious because I knew that although I was talking about "if" it was very likely to be this "if" - "The murderer is someone Miaoyan has met or known to me. If the murderer knew Miaoyan's current situation, I don't know if it would be-"

Su Su panicked and said, "Miss, what do you mean - the Lord Liu who confessed to guilt, is he not the murderer?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I was silent for a moment and said lightly: "He is not."

“…”

Su Su was silent for a moment and immediately said, "I understand."

I nodded, too.

Su Su hurriedly said, "In this case, Miss, we shouldn't just go buy girls to serve here, we also need guards." I said, "The guards don't need to buy, just transfer some people to come."

Su Su was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "I understand, Gu Ping!"

I nodded: "Yeah."

He is the only one I can believe.

However, Su Su said that he went to drink and cause trouble, which made me very worried. It is okay for men to drink a drink, but if they can't control their emotions by drinking, they will become alcoholics. Such people not only cannot succeed, but may also mislead things.

I said to Su Su: "I will deal with this matter. You can take a break now. After Miaoyan's situation is over, I will talk about it in detail after Lao Yao comes to give her an injection today."

Su Su immediately said, "I don't need to rest. Miss, I see Miss Miaoyan sweating a lot, so I'll wipe her body first."

“…”

I looked at this girl who was actually just a little girl. Not long after I entered the room, my face was still red and black in the sun, but I didn't care about myself at all and just did what I wanted to do.

It's like a cow, working hard every day, eating its own forage, resting, and then starting the hard work of the day.

But isn’t such dullness also a kind of happiness?

How great would it be if life could be as simple and happy as her?

Su Su looked at me in a daze and called me in a low voice. I looked at her and nodded with a smile: "Then go. If you are tired, remember to rest."

"Don't worry, Miss."

After saying that, she went to get hot water to wipe Miaoyan's body.

When Su Su came back, she did help me a lot.

At noon, Yao Lao came to give Miaoyan another injection. Su Su was serving him all the time. When Yao Lao finished her work, she asked in detail about Miaoyan’s current situation and the details that need to be paid attention to. After Yao Lao finished speaking, he looked at her again and said softly: "You are a little girl, and you are so careful, it is rare."

Su Su just nodded and went to wipe Miaoyan's sweat.

Then, Lao Yao turned around and met my anxious eyes. He sighed softly and said, "Don't be anxious either. It's not that simple to read medical books to find a prescription. Although there are not many books I brought out from Xichuan, it is not that easy to find a prescription, and it takes a little time."

I nodded: "I know, thank you for your hard work."

"In fact, Yuan Xiu has sent people to the homes of the people in Jinling to search for those lonely medical books."

"Yeah?"

Lao Yao looked up at me and said, "He is also worried about Miyan."

"..." I was silent for a while and nodded gently: "I know."

He said again: "If you can't be anxious about what Miaoyan is, you will always have hope."

"..." I was silent and nodded: "I know."

He looked at me for a while and didn't say anything else. After sighing, he left the inner courtyard.

Shortly after he left, about a moment after Shen Shi, Butu brought a few young girls to the inner courtyard.

Those little girls lined up in front of me, all of which were all thorns and cloth skirts. It seemed that they had just entered the city. Butu told me that they were all bought by him for me to choose. After looking at it for a while, I chose two that looked clean and nimble, one named Xiaoni and the other named Xixi. They were from the same village. This year, the drought was caused by the remote village, and nine out of ten rooms were empty, plus the heavy taxes, so I had no way to live, so I could only sell myself to make a living as a maid. I was frightened when I first arrived at such a wealthy family. Even when I paid tribute to me, Su Su went to take them to familiarize themselves with the surroundings and explained what to do.

When Susu took them down to take a shower, I turned around and looked at Butu and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

He bowed: "Madam is so serious."

"There is one more thing." I said, "The guards in the inner courtyard will also be bothered by you, but you don't have to buy them. I want to ask you to transfer a few people from the army, preferably-"

Before he finished speaking, Butu said, "Mrs. Don't worry about this, I've brought the person here."
