Chapter 90: A Big Gift
Chu Liyan took Chu Chu out of the palace and on the carriage.
"Chu Chu, tell me the truth, what happened in the past?"
Chu Chu lowered her head to cover up her panic and sobbed softly: "Father, everything my daughter said in Yong'an Hall just now is true, and there is absolutely no lie. If even the father doesn't believe her, then her daughter will really die unjustly."
…”
"Is he really so rebellious? I knew this kid has always been a bit rebellious, but I didn't expect him to be so bold. Fortunately, the concubine knew that I was wronged and exiled, and suffered a lot. Otherwise, she would not have given up so easily.
"
Chu Liyan fell into grief. Zhang Xinnian grew up beside him and was the orphan of his classmate friend. He always treated him as a son. His feelings for Chu Chu were always seen by him as a father.
, but Chu Chu loved King Luo wholeheartedly. If he had not brought them to Kyoto at that time, perhaps Chu Chu and Chu Chu would have become a couple long ago.
"Father, don't be too sad. My daughter has advised him many times. I thought he listened, but I didn't expect that he had his own plans in mind. He is also stubborn. If he had turned around, he wouldn't have been like this.
Such a stupid thing happened."
Chu Chu looked at her father's face, which had aged several years, and comforted him softly.
Chu Liyan sighed: "It's all fate! This kid has a bad temper, I know it!"
"By the way, King Luo is so heartless this time. You should be heartbroken in the future. You are only seventeen years old after the New Year. It is a great time. You should also plan for your future."
"Haha, what future does my daughter have? After being abandoned by the royal family, who dares to marry me? My daughter will never marry anyone in the future. She can stay with her father and mother with peace of mind."
Chu Liyan patted the back of Chu Chu's hand and watched with distress as his daughter, who was innocent and innocent a few months ago, suddenly became lifeless and lifeless.
"Oh, let's talk about it later! After a while, when everyone has forgotten about this matter, there will always be a turn for the better. Let your maid help you pack your things in Prince Luo's Mansion, and we will go home directly!"
Chu Chu nodded excitedly, and was finally going home. Mo Ruxue was favored, not because she had her mother's family to rely on. Her father came back and resumed his official position this time, ranking first among the six ministers. Who would dare to bully her at will in the future!
Mei Xiang was from Prince Luo's Mansion, so she naturally didn't want to go to Shangshu Mansion. Chu Chu also knew her thoughts and asked her to go back directly.
She sent another maid, Xiaolan, to go back to Prince Luo's Mansion with Mei Xiang to get her things back.
The rest of the things were not important. Those calligraphy and paintings were her treasures. She repeatedly told Xiaolan to bring those calligraphy and paintings back.
Mei Xiang took Xiao Lan and Chu Chu to go their separate ways. Seeing that Chu Chu's situation was over, she had no good feelings toward Xiao Lan.
As soon as she returned to Prince Luo's Mansion, she went to her mother's yard to rest.
Xiaolan had been waiting outside for almost an hour, but Mei Xiang didn't come out, so she became a little anxious.
Seeing a nanny coming out of it, I quickly pulled her and asked: "Mommy, could you please go and ask Sister Mei Xiang to come out? I want to see her if I have anything to do."
The nun saw that Xiaolan was not dressed like a servant of the mansion, so she asked: "Which mansion are you from, and why are you here to see Mei Xiang?"
"This servant is a maid in the residence of Mr. Chu, the Minister of Civil Affairs. Today I came back with Sister Mei Xiang to pack up the lady's things. I have been waiting for almost an hour. I don't dare to go in at will. Please go in and let me know."
Mammy said with a smile: "This old slave is a slave of Prince Luo's Mansion, not Shangshu Mansion, and can't be used by anyone as he pleases! Miss Chu has been living here for free for so long, what else is there?
Things! If you want to clean it up, go ahead and don’t bother us, Mei Xiang!"
The nanny snorted coldly, glared at Xiaolan with a fierce triangular eye, twisted her waist and left.
At the same time, Mei Xiang had already slipped out of the side door of the courtyard, quickly ran to the other courtyard, picked out some of Chu Chu's usual gold and silver jewelry of good quality, and hid them secretly.
He ran to the study again, quickly collected the few paintings and calligraphy that Chu Chu had specially told him to keep carefully, held them in his arms, and walked quickly to Liuli Garden.
When I walked to the entrance of Liulicuan, I was stopped by Luluo.
"Sister Luluo, I want to see the princess. Please let me know. I really have something important to report."
Luluo looked at her holding a pile of paintings and calligraphy, one of which was the one that Mo Ruxue asked her to secretly put in the study room last time.
There must be some ulterior secret in this calligraphy and painting. Thinking of the handkerchief Chu Chu sent last time that almost killed Mo Ruxue, she didn't dare to accept anything sent from other courtyards.
"Let's go! The princess has been going up the mountain to pray for blessings in the past few days. She has worked too hard and just fell asleep. Concubine Chu's kindness is appreciated by our princess. We, the princess, want to live for a few more years, so we won't accept the things!"
Mei Xiang glanced at Luluo arrogantly: "These are priceless good things. If you delay the princess's good deeds, the princess will blame you later and make you walk around without food!"
"It's a good thing, then you can keep it for yourself and enjoy it slowly! Our princess is not blessed to enjoy it!"
"You! You are so ungrateful! You ugly monster!"
Luluo stared at Mei Xiang with sinister eyes: "If you have the guts, say what you just said again!"
A girl in her prime is always called ugly, and no one will be happy to hear it!
The princess often comforted her when she was fine, saying that her appearance was given by her parents and there was nothing she could do about it. Beauty in the soul is the real beauty!
Mei Xiang was terrified because she was stared at. She had seen Lu Luo's skills before, but she didn't have the guts to challenge her again!
She hugged the calligraphy and paintings and walked away dejectedly.
Along the way, when I was wondering whether I should return these calligraphy and paintings, I suddenly bumped into Yun Qian'er, who was coming towards me, and the calligraphy and paintings were scattered all over the floor.
"Ouch!" Yun Qian'er was knocked back a step. Fortunately, Thrush's eyesight was quick, otherwise she would have hit the wall.
When Yun Qian'er saw clearly that the person in front of her was Chu Chu's maid Mei Xiang, she became furious: "Huamei, teach me a lesson for this girl who doesn't understand the rules!"
"Pa" Mei Xiang received a firm slap on her face.
Huamei pointed at Mei Xiang's nose and cursed: "You blind bitch, you can't walk without eyes! If you knock Concubine Yun out of the house, how many lives will you have to pay for it?"
"Slave...Slave...I really didn't mean it..."
Mei Xiang covered her face with one hand and cried, while picking up the calligraphy and paintings on the ground with the other hand.
"etc!"
When Mei Xiang heard Yun Qian'er's scolding, she stopped what she was doing.
"Where did these calligraphy and paintings come from? Do they belong to your Concubine Chu?"
Mei Xiang timidly replied: "Yes... yes, Miss Chu Chu has been removed from the title of concubine. She has left the palace and has returned to the Chu family... She asked me to come back to pack her things."
"What? She was kicked out? When did this happen? No, isn't she an orphan? How come she still has a home?"
"It was decided in the palace this morning. She is actually the daughter of Mr. Chu, the Minister of Civil Affairs. Mr. Chu has been released from exile and returned to Kyoto!"
Yun Qian'er stood there in shock. It turned out that this Chu Chu was Chu Liyan's daughter. No wonder Xiao Yonghan had hidden her in Prince Luo's Mansion for so long!
Fortunately, she left, otherwise when Chu Liyan came back, she would have had such a backer behind her, and she wouldn't have been crushed to death!
Yun Qian'er looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the ground with a greedy light in her eyes. These calligraphy and paintings are all priceless treasures!
"When Chu Chu leaves, your life must be difficult, right? Why don't you just follow me, are you willing?"
Mei Xiang was totally willing. There were only two mistresses in the house. She didn't have to think about Mo Ruxue's place. She couldn't even get in through the door of Liulicuan.
Being able to serve Yun Qian'er is at least much better than doing those menial jobs. At least you can see King Luo often, just in case you are noticed by King Luo one day...
Mei Xiang grinned, with blood still flowing from the corner of her mouth, and nodded like a fool: "I am willing, I am willing, and being able to serve Concubine Yun is something I can't even dream of!"
Yun Qian'er picked up the calligraphy and painting on the ground and stroked it gently with her hand.
Mei Xiang understood immediately. She walked to Yun Qian'er and said softly: "There are many calligraphy and paintings in the other courtyard. Only these are deliberately collected by Miss Chu Chu. These calligraphy and paintings are only worthy of Concubine Yun. I will go elsewhere."
Take a few pictures and send the servants of the Chu family back."
"Sure enough, you are smart. Follow me from now on and I will ensure that you have a good time and drink hot food!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Master. I will put the calligraphy and paintings away now."
Mei Xiang quickly packed up the calligraphy and paintings on the ground, tied them up, handed them to Huamei, and said with a smile: "Sister, please take them back, I have to deal with the maids of the Chu family."
Huamei hurriedly took it, with a bit of embarrassment on her face: "Just now... did the beating hurt you? I have some ointment there. Come to Feiyingxuan later and I'll apply some on you."
"Thank you sister for your love. I'm thick-skinned and it doesn't matter."
Mei Xiang quickly smiled to hide the pain in her cheeks. In fact, her cheeks were burning. This little bitch was really cruel!
Don't let her get the chance, otherwise she won't show mercy!
"Huamei, let's go first! Get the calligraphy and paintings. Mei Xiang, hurry up and get some more calligraphy and paintings from the other courtyard to coax the Chu family away!"
