She didn't want to protect the barbarian, or she didn't care about the danger or her own safety.
She just thinks that there must be something wrong with Man'er entering the house like this. Why not figure out the problem before driving him away? How many times will such unclear things happen?
She knew that after she was pregnant, many people did not like her and wanted to get rid of her child, but she was also tired of this kind of life where everyone was a ghost and everyone was so nervous. It was a sin for her not to be nervous.
Already.
She sighed softly, hoping that the days would relax and stop being so tense.
She felt like her nerves were going to snap.
She stood up, forget it, let's go out and listen.
When he went outside, Yu Wenhao saw her coming and ignored her. He just sat on the seat with a cold expression on his face.
Yuan Qingling sat on the guest chair and didn't speak to him. She just asked Ah Si, "Where is the person?"
"Xu Yi went to take it." Ah Si said softly.
When Man'er saw Xu Yi coming, she knew she had been exposed.
She didn't run away either. She stepped forward and said with a gray face: "Master Xu."
Xu Yi said coldly: "The prince wants to see you, I advise you to confess obediently and avoid suffering any physical pain."
Man'er said: "Master Xu, please lead the way."
"If you go ahead, who knows what tricks you might do behind you?" Xu said.
Man'er walked in front, his back looking a little lonely.
Yuan Qingling watched Man'er walk in. Her eyes were downcast and her expression was calm. She was a little uneasy, but not too scared. She looked calm as if she was resigned to her fate. There was a whip mark on her forehead, which had faded away from the bright red color.
Color, leaving light bruises.
She immediately knelt on the ground and said, "See you, Your Majesty!"
She recognized Yu Wenhao, but had never met Yuan Qingling, so she didn't know that the person sitting aside was Yuan Qingling. After all, if she was the princess, she should be sitting on the right side of the front seat.
Yu Wenhao stared at her and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense and tell me, who asked you to come to Prince Chu's Mansion? What's the purpose?"
Man'er lowered his head and said: "To tell you what the prince is saying, I came here on my own. No one asked me to come here. I just want to find a job, where I can eat and have a place to sleep."
"Isn't there a place for you to eat and sleep in Chu Mansion?" Yu Wenhao raised his voice with a hint of embarrassment.
Man'er said: "This slave has been driven out by Lord Chu and has nowhere to go."
"If Chu Shoufu drives you away, can't Chu Mingyang resettle you?" Ah Si couldn't help but speak out.
Man'er's eyes rose, and there was a flash of disappointment and even despair, "I can't serve the second lady well, and the second lady doesn't want a slave anymore."
"No one wants you, so you come to Prince Chu's Mansion. What do you think of Prince Chu's Mansion?" Ah Si snorted.
Man'er said with a pale face: "When I came here, I didn't know it was the Prince of Chu's Mansion, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to come."
Yu Wenhao raised his thin lips, showing a sarcastic and cold look, "I dare not come here, you dare to take Chu Mingyang to the government office to charm me, and dare to fight with me as a maid in Chu Mansion.
What are you afraid of?"
Man'er defended: "The slave's master was the second young lady at that time, so naturally she had to obey the second young lady's orders. When we were in the Chu Mansion, you injured the second young lady. The slave was eager to protect her master, so she took action against the prince, and asked the prince to
Forgive me."
Yu Wenhao slapped the table, "Then you are also eager to protect the Lord and want to come to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to murder the Princess, right?"
Man'er raised his head in astonishment, looking a little frightened, and waved his hands quickly, "No, no, Your Majesty, I don't even dare to think like this. I have left the Chu Mansion, and the second lady is not my master.
There is no reason to do this. I just want to find a place to work. I have no intention of murdering the princess. I beg you, Your Majesty, for your clear understanding."
Ah Si asked: "Are you saying that you came to Prince Chu's Mansion on your own initiative and no one asked you to come?"
Man'er shook his head, "No one asked the slaves to come..."
She paused, then thought of the young man, and said: "After I was kicked out of the Chu Mansion, I lived on the street and met a lame young beggar. He told me that there was a family in Xiji who was looking for a girl who knew how to box and kick.
Come and give it a try, I really didn’t know it was Prince Chu’s Mansion beforehand.”
"Where is the lame beggar?" Ah Si didn't believe her at all, but let's see how she could pull off the lie.
"Not far from Xiji, he occupied a mound as his home."
"What's his name?" Ah Si asked again.
Man'er remembered that the young man had said his name before and said, "My name is Hu."
Yu Wenhao said to Xu Yiyi: "Xiji is not far from here. Go find it and bring this beggar here."
Man'er suddenly raised his head, panic filled his eyes, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with him. Originally, the slave didn't know him. It was just a chance encounter. He introduced the slave to the pier to carry the bag, but the pier did not accept him.
My wife, I just introduced this slave here, my lord, you can’t embarrass him."
Xu Yi took the order and said: "My subordinates will go immediately."
Man'er jumped up suddenly, hurriedly stopped Xu Yi, stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Yi's wrist, "No, it has nothing to do with him. You can't go to him, you will scare him."
"Bold!" Xu Yi shouted sharply and hit her on the shoulder. Man'er avoided it, but continued to stop Xu Yi, "You can't go, don't scare him, it has nothing to do with him."
Yuan Qingling suddenly spoke, "Do you think that lame beggar is wearing drab gray clothes, with a black snail shell hanging around his waist, and has a thin face, protruding cheekbones, big eyes, and thick lips?"
Man'er quickly looked at her, "Yes, yes, madam, have you seen her?"
"I've seen him, Xu Yi, go and bring him here." Yuan Qingling finished instructing Xu Yi, then looked at Man'er, "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for him, I just came to him to ask him clearly."
Man'er looked at her with some uneasiness and anxiety in his eyes, "It's just that he has nothing to do with this matter. He doesn't know that I am a bad person."
Ah Si snorted: "You still know that you are a bad person? The reputation of people in southern Xinjiang is ruined by people like you."
Man'er lowered his head, not daring to speak, his eyes filled with shame.
Yuan Qingling looked at Yu Wenhao, and there was still rage in his eyes. She said softly: "You go back first, and I will ask, is that okay?"
Yu Wenhao's eyes jumped with anger, "Up to now, you are still protecting someone who wants to harm you? Are you crazy?"
"I'm not protecting anyone, I just want to find out." Yuan Qingling also became stubborn, and her tone was a little cold.
Yu Wenhao said angrily: "What do you want to understand? She is Chu Mingyang's, right? Who is Chu Mingyang? Do you need me to tell you again and again? Regardless of this, she is just an outsider and a slave.
Are you going to quarrel with me over her?"
"I didn't want to quarrel with you. I said I just wanted to find out what was going on." Yuan Qingling heard his unkind tone and said coldly.
Yu Wenhao retorted, "You are clearly a trouble maker. Do you really like to see me being crazy about you? Do you mean to see everyone anxious and worried about your safety? Doesn't this give you a special sense of accomplishment? Satisfied, satisfied
Your vanity?"
Yuan Qingling's face turned pale with anger, "You are the one who is stirring up trouble. Are you trying to quarrel on purpose?"
Yu Wenhao said coldly: "If this were not the case, I really don't understand. You are clearly a scourge, why would you still stay with me? You just like to see everyone worrying about you and protecting you. You put everyone
You are all acting like monkeys, watching us jumping around anxiously while you cover your mouth and laugh!"
