Xiangxiang rushed out, hurriedly wrapped her cloak around her, and kept rubbing her hands and feet.
"Sister, are you okay? How are you?"
Seeing Xiangxiang caring about her so much, Qianru was so embarrassed and angry that she hit her head against the wall, but her legs were still stiff and she didn't hit her head, she only fell.
"I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry"
"It's not your fault. Come with me first and I'll tell you slowly."
Xiangxiang took her to the inn and found a warm upper room to stay. He warmed her hands and rubbed her legs, sweating profusely from her work.
"I'm the one who hurt you, I'm sorry!"
Qianru guiltily knelt at Xiangxiang's feet and begged her to forgive her.
Xiangxiang didn't blame her at all, but hugged her and cried.
Qianru was extremely moved.
But the more moved I feel, the more guilty I feel.
For a moment, she had the thought of committing suicide again, and took out the hairpin to wipe her neck, but Xiangxiang snatched it away.
"Sister, this is not your fault, it's all Zhao Xian'er's fault!"
"What?"
Qianru could hardly believe her ears.
"That's her. She said there was a banquet at Prince Gui's Mansion and she invited me to dance. When I entered, there was not a single guest inside."
Zhao Xianer didn't tell her that, what's going on?
However, no matter what the internal situation is, this matter all happened because of herself. Even if Zhao Xianer made some mistakes, it was also because of herself.
But Xiangxiang, who didn't know what was going on, couldn't see that she was taking the blame on him, and said with indignation: "Zhao Xian'er betrayed us all in order to protect himself and please King Gui!"
Is this possible? Qianru really can't believe that Zhao Xian'er has helped her so much. They offended Princess Luo together and sold themselves into the palace together. They are true sisters who love each other in times of adversity!
"How can this be?"
"It's true. At that time, King Gui rushed towards me. It was the prince who defied his father's orders and saved me. I heard with my own ears that the prince advised King Gui, saying that you and Shangguan Yuan were married by the emperor. You can't listen to Zhao Xian'er's unpredictable words. Again
Make the emperor suspicious.
The crown prince also asked people to block the door and not allow you to go in. King Gui was angry and refused to let me leave before the fifth watch, just to make you suffer more, sister.
You are the sister who really treats me well, Zhao Xianer is just a selfish ghost!"
Seeing that she still didn't believe it, Xiangxiang said again: "I saw a lot of people like this when I was performing in Jiangnan. If you don't believe what I say, tell me why you came to Prince Gui's Mansion?"
"She said that King Gui wanted me to accompany him, otherwise half of his peach blossoms would be shut down. You didn't want me to lose my happiness, so you went to take my place."
"It is true that we are Jinlan sisters, but I have never tried to be so loyal. Only a sweet-tempered sister like you would freeze all night in the snow for half a year of sisterhood."
Xiangxiang's words are very true, and there is no reason why she did something self-sacrificial but refused to admit it and blamed Zhao Xian'er.
Moreover, given what happened last night, if Zhao Xianer really cared about the relationship between sisters, she should have come right after.
But, she didn't.
The more Qianru thought about it, the more heartbroken she became.
Xiangxiang couldn't bear her sadness and wiped away the tears on her face with distress.
"Anyway, I haven't lost anything. If you really don't want to grudge her, just pretend that I didn't say anything. I am an orphan. I grew up in Goulan Courtyard. I don't care about my reputation. I just long for a job."
Pure family affection.”
Xiangxiang regarded herself as her only relative. How could he not distinguish between right and wrong and let her suffer such unexplained grievances?
But what if Zhao Xianer had no choice but to do so, or if there was any misunderstanding?
What to do? What to do?
She was silent for a while, thinking of a way to make the mistake go away.
So, she asked Xiangxiang to act aggrieved when he went back.
But Xiangxiang had his own ideas and did not completely follow her arrangements.
When the two came to Banmian Peach Blossom, Zhao Xianer was discussing with Tao, Wen and Xia the three shopkeepers in the private room how to create a gimmick about Qianru's marriage.
Xiangxiang kicked the door open, rushed up and scolded Zhao Xianer in front of everyone.
Tao, Wen and Xia, the three shopkeepers, quickly made room for their sisters.
Seeing that things were far from what she expected, Qianru broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly opened the door, then went to drag Xiangxiang away.
"Zhao Xian'er, should you tell sister Qianru yourself, or should I tell it for you?"
Zhao Xian'er pushed Xiang Xiang away angrily, "You heartless girl, Prince Gui's eyes will pop out when he looks at you. How can he be willing for you to be taken over by his father? If I didn't know what I was thinking, wouldn't I stop you from going?"
Xiangxiang ignored him and turned his back.
Zhao Xianer came to talk to Qianru again, "Do you think I don't know that you froze all night outside Prince Gui's Mansion? I didn't sleep a wink all night either! This is all for your own good, so that you can learn a lesson and not be so impulsive all the time.
Do things regardless of the consequences.”
It turned out that Zhao Xianer had really plotted against them, and Qianru was heartbroken.
Zhao Xianer always scolded her for being impulsive and reckless, but for such a thing, no matter how well-calculated it was, there was no guarantee that it would happen!
Moreover, it was just a plot against her. No matter what, we should not push Xiangxiang into danger!
Zhao Xianer saw that neither of them spoke to her, so she simply proposed a break.
"If we break, we will break. Just wait, wait!"
Xiangxiang dragged Qianru out and rushed to his residence. He dug out the contract signed with Zhao Xianer and all his savings and put them in the box.
"Xiangxiang, please calm down. After all, we are sisters Jinlan. Maybe Sister Zhao just had a misunderstanding this time. Why don't we?"
"She has already shown her evil side. If you forgive her in this situation, she will be killed sooner or later! Anyway, I don't plan to have her as my sister anymore. I am different from you. I grew up in Goulan Courtyard and I have seen too many intrigues."
After counting Xiangxiang, he found that his belongings totaled only more than 10,000 taels.
The contract stipulated that if she left before working for three years, she would pay Zhao Xianer 30,000 taels.
"Oh! What should I do?" Xiangxiang hesitated and grabbed Qianru's hand, "Good sister, I see she gives you a lot of money every time. Can you lend it to me to cancel the contract?"
"I can give you money, but if you also leave, Banmian Peach Blossom's business will definitely plummet! And if you go to other singing and dancing studios, others may not be able to give you such a high salary."
"I just want to cancel the contract and be able to come and go freely. I don't plan to leave Half Peach Blossom. After all, this is the most comfortable song and dance studio I have ever stayed in."
Hearing what Xiangxiang said, Qianru felt more relieved.
So, she took Xiangxiang to her place, dug out the money she had saved, and helped her collect thirty thousand taels.
Looking at the money they sent, Zhao Xianer couldn't laugh or cry, and tore up the contract in front of them.
She thought Xiangxiang was leaving, so she asked shopkeeper Tao to settle her wages.
Unexpectedly, Xiangxiang called the two shopkeepers Wen and Xia over and talked with them about joining the team.
