The girl was still wearing the clothes prepared by Prince Xuan's Mansion, standing there quietly, lowering her head and looking at her toes.

The girl who sent her back was ten, six or seven years old, her clothes were covered with patches, and she was sitting on a chair drinking tea leisurely.

Although the clothes are shabby, they are very clean. Her skin is fair, her profile is very beautiful, her eyelashes are long and curled, her nose is straight, and her pink lips are slightly pouting, which makes her look pretty and cute.

Sensing someone coming in, they both looked over.

The girl looked surprised, put down the tea cup, pulled the girl's head, and asked: "Is this Princess Xuan?"

Sassoon's eyes turned cold and he said sternly: "When you see the princess, why don't you kneel down and salute!"

Both of them came to their senses and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The daughter of the people pays homage to Princess Xuan."

Shangguan Ruoli slowly walked to the main seat, sat down, and then said calmly: "Without courtesy, please get down."

The two stood up and stood there with their heads bowed.

Shangguan Ruoli had a faint smile on his face and said nothing.

The girl seemed to be waiting for Shangguan Ruoli to take the initiative to ask questions, but she couldn't help but raise her eyes when she didn't say anything. When she met her indifferent and distant eyes, she couldn't help but feel shocked.

He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Princess Qi, Wei Tao, a folk girl, lives in the south of the city. Three months ago, the home was destroyed by termites. This little girl appeared in the folk girl's house for some reason. The folk girl asked her and said nothing.

, I had no choice but to take her in first..."

Wei Tao was very articulate and told the story of how the girl came to her house.

The east is rich and the west is rich, the north is poor and the south is cheap. This is the same in this small town.

Officials or aristocratic gentry lived in the east, businessmen lived in the west, ordinary people lived in the north, and lower-class people lived in the south.

The so-called low-life refers to masters, cadres, matchmakers, pawns, actors, prostitutes, jugglers, pedicures, haircuts, tailors, thieves, etc.

Wei Tao lives in the south, which shows that he is not an ordinary citizen.

Shangguan Ruoli nodded lightly, "Well, I'll reward you with fifty taels of silver. Go home."

Wei Tao's eyes were surprised, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. Unexpectedly, Shangguan Ruoli said one sentence, and the second sentence was to send her away.

I really can’t have a good chat with this princess!

He secretly tugged on the girl's sleeve and gave her a signaling look.

The girl hurriedly knelt down and said: "Princess, Sister Taozi saved the girl and took care of the girl for so long. She is also an orphan and the house is rented. The girl wants to keep her by her side, and the girl doesn't want to be an ungrateful person."

A coldness flashed in Shangguan Ruoli's eyes. This girl seemed to have forgotten that she herself was an orphan and was being raised by Prince Xuan's Mansion.

He smiled lightly and said, "Okay."

Wei Tao and the girl both relaxed and gave each other a delighted smile.

However, when they heard Shangguan Ruoli's next words, their faces turned ugly.

Shangguan Ruoli said calmly: "It just so happens that the girl is going to the capital to recognize her ancestors and return to the clan. She needs someone to take care of her. With Mrs. Zhou and Wei Tao taking care of you, I feel relieved."

The girl's face changed slightly, and she kowtowed: "Girl doesn't want to go to the capital. Please, Princess, don't let the girl go to the capital!"

Shangguan Ruoli chuckled lightly, "If you don't go to the capital to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan, and your name won't be like the Royal Jade Butterfly, then why should I take you in and raise you? And give you Wei Tao?"

Although Mrs. Zhou lives in Xuanwangzhuang, she can support herself by weaving baskets for the dry goods factory.

And this Wei Tao, with fair skin, beautiful appearance, and lively eyes, is obviously not a person who works all day long and keeps to himself.

The girl's face fell, "Then let's move away. Mrs. Zhou has a place to live in her hometown!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Tao hurriedly pulled the girl's clothes and said: "Girl, you are a golden branch and a jade leaf, how can you not recognize your ancestor and return to the clan? Let's discuss this matter in the long term."

Then he said to Shangguan Ruoli: "Don't worry, Princess, the daughter of the people will advise the girl."

Shangguan Ruoli said calmly: "The royal bloodline is a big deal, and there is no room for her willfulness in this matter."

The girl frowned and wanted to say something, but Wei Tao stopped her.

Wei Tao said: "Then it's already the New Year, can you let me spend the New Year here? You have to prepare a lot of things for such a long journey, right?"

Shangguan Ruoli looked at the girl, "What do you mean?"

The girl gave Shangguan Ruoli a cold look, with a flash of resentment in her eyes, "Then listen to Wei Tao."

Shangguan Ruoli waved his hand, "Girl, take Wei Tao to find Mrs. Zhou. She still lives in the original courtyard."

A flash of reluctance flashed in Wei Tao's eyes, and she muttered: "This girl is the prince's daughter, shouldn't she live in the prince's palace?"

Shangguan Ruoli chuckled: "She is not yet of royal blood. The testimony of Mrs. Zhou alone is not enough."

Sassoon couldn't listen anymore and sneered: "Don't you understand people's words? The princess has already said that the girl has to admit her kinship with Prince Qin through blood, and only after marrying Jade Butterfly can her identity be confirmed. Now, the princess takes her in,

It’s purely out of kindness.”

Wei Tao's face turned slightly pale, and she kowtowed hurriedly and said: "The daughter of the people knows her crime! The daughter of the people is ignorant and ill-informed, please forgive me, Princess!"

Shangguan Ruoli waved his hand, "If you don't follow the same example next time, go on!"

Wei Tao and the girl kowtowed again and retreated.

Sassoon said with a sullen face: "Princess, this Wei Tao is not a good person at first sight. How can you tolerate her being so presumptuous in front of you? It seems that the girl has also been taught bad things."

Shangguan Ruoli said calmly: "Ask someone to check the details of Wei Tao, and send someone to keep an eye on them to see what they want to do."

Sassoon nodded, "I will make arrangements right now."

It's not that Shangguan Ruoli can't drive Wei Tao away, but the girl's disappearance is strange, and her return is also strange. If we don't figure out the matter, it will inevitably cause trouble in the future.

The girl grew up hiding in Shenlong Mountain with Mrs. Zhou, and also worked as a beggar. She is not so timid, running around when scared, and she is not easily lost.

Everything was arranged, Shangguan Ruoli wanted to wait for Bai Qingqing to come back and go back together, but in the evening, Bai Qingqing sent someone to deliver a message that she would have to undergo surgery overnight and would not return to Yuancheng.

Shangguan Ruoli sent someone to tell Dongming Ziyu that he wanted to take people back to Yuancheng.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got on the carriage, he was met with a pair of deep and dark eyes.

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said, "Aren't you busy?"

Dongming Ziyu stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, and said with a chuckle: "Just assign the things. I will do everything myself, so I won't die from exhaustion."

Shangguan Ruoli found a comfortable seat in his arms and sat down, and said: "The girl was sent back by a girl named Wei Tao. I arranged for them to live in Mrs. Zhou's small courtyard. I will observe them for a while first."

"Just send her to the capital after the New Year. No need to worry about her." Dongming Ziyu held her hand and rubbed it, "Do you have any good suggestions for the gangsters in Lianshan and Shenlongshan?"
