She looked at Aunt Xi and said calmly: "This is why I have to protect Man'er. Whose life is not life? Why must some people's lives be despicable? Just like him, he even has to have a meal with me.
Kneel down, isn't he hungry? Have you ever seen him get beaten to a bloody head while fighting for a steamed bun, but he happily hid aside to eat it? But now, he would rather get thirty buns than eat this meal
A meal he really wants to eat.”
Aunt Xi responded softly, "You are different from them. You are a princess and your status is noble."
Yuan Qingling looked at her and couldn't think of anything to say for a moment, or it might be useless.
This is the difference.
It is related to the education and cognition received.
She grew up in a democratic and fair society and received higher education.
All the servants in the palace knelt before her, and when she entered the palace, she knelt before other nobles and bowed down.
Although she is not used to these things, she can tolerate them.
However, she couldn't bear to have such deep-rooted respect and inferiority in front of life.
She tried to let herself accept it and let herself change.
Because she can't let this era change to suit her thoughts.
She could only change her mind.
She was not so resistant to Man'er's matter from the beginning. She just wanted to find out. After she found out, she could continue to take her in or drive her away. In short, this matter should not disturb her too much.
However, Man'er was the trigger, and she and Yu Wenhao had a quarrel.
I don't know if the fifty-year-old man did it because he had a grudge against Man'er or because they had a quarrel and he was deliberately angry with her. It shouldn't be the case.
Fifty big boards could kill that woman.
What if she really has no intentions? What if she really just wants to find a job?
Everyone was worried about her safety, and she was grateful.
But does this mean that the lives of other people have to be paid for? Would it be better to kill the wrong person than indulge in vain?
Now, Hu Ming was found, and Hu Ming's words confirmed that Man'er had no intention of harming her when he entered the house.
But before Hu Ming came, he fought fifty times. Can Man'er's life be saved?
And probably no one will find out what crime she actually committed.
Just like the beauties who died in Prince Ji's palace.
Yuan Qingling knew that grandma would not understand for a while, so she stood up and said softly: "Take him to the kitchen for a meal. After eating, think of a way to settle him."
She entered the bedroom and sat in front of the dressing table.
My heart is still as messy as a ball of numbness.
In addition to being upset, there is also panic.
She knew that there were differences in their values.
This time she really didn't blindly insist on trusting Man'er.
In fact, this problem does not exist.
Being a barbarian has never been the point.
She looked at the person in the mirror. At this moment, she felt that this face was so unfamiliar that it was chilling.
She is Yuan Qingling, not the Yuan Qingling of this era.
Just because she has recognized the reality clearly does not mean that she fully agrees with the values of this era.
She has been here for so long that she is no longer the soft-hearted person she used to be.
But she still couldn't ignore a life.
Tonight, if it weren't for her persistence, Man'er would have died.
Ah Si said it wasn't worth quarreling with Yu Wenhao over Man'er, but it was a life, wasn't it worth it?
Aunt Xi came in quietly, took a cloak for her from the coat rack beside the bed, and put it on her body, "Princess, don't think so much, it will hurt your nerves and body."
"Where is Hu Ming?" Yuan Qingling calmed down and asked.
"I asked Lu Ya to take him down to eat. As for the princess, she said that it would be easy to accommodate him. She found him an easy job in the palace. He can do it. He is very grateful." Aunt Xi said.
"Mommy Xi!" Yuan Qingling looked at her, "You once asked me why I took you back to the palace instead of killing you. I told you at that time that it was because the Emperor didn't want you to die."
"This is the answer from the princess." Aunt Xi said.
Yuan Qingling was silent for a moment, and then said: "This is one of the reasons. The biggest reason is that I can't let a life disappear from this world with just one word. I am not a judge, and I have no right to do this.
Do."
Aunt Xi's face moved slightly, thinking of Man'er, she sighed softly, "Princess, the weak will eat the strong, there is nothing we can do about it."
"Has it reached such a serious stage? If I let you and Man'er go, will I die? Is this a choice between life and death?" Yuan Qingling asked.
"At least there is danger." Aunt Xi said, "So, this is what Ah Si said is not worth it."
Yuan Qingling sighed helplessly.
Aunt Xi continued to persuade: "The princess is kind-hearted, I know that, but has the princess ever thought about the prince's mood? You have faced danger several times, and the prince is worried every day, fearing that something will happen to you. In that kind of mood, the princess
In fact, it is conceivable that you and King Sun had an accident together that day, which frightened him. He would not allow you to get into the slightest situation, so he would rather unjustly accuse a barbarian than let you have an accident even if it is possible.
"
Yuan Qing Ling said: "I know, so even though he said those hurtful words, I was not angry with him. I just felt a little uncomfortable. This is not what worries me. Mom, I don't want to say anything anymore. You can go out.
Come on, I'll be alone."
"Then don't you want to eat something?" Aunt Xi asked worriedly.
"I can't eat it!" Yuan Qingling said.
Aunt Xi could only say: "Well, if you are hungry, call me and I will make you something fresh."
Aunt Xi retreated.
Yuan Qingling felt very depressed. It wasn't that she didn't want to speak, it was because no one would agree with what she said.
For the first time she felt alone.
Yu Wenhao went to meet Ling Yan and Gu Si for a drink.
After drinking a pound in one breath, he was still angry, "Why do I have to humble myself like this? I live cautiously every day, just for fear that something will happen to her. The house is strictly guarded. Every time she goes out, I am worried. Every time she goes out, I am afraid that something will happen to her.
One day when I came back from the Yamen, if she was not in the house, my heart would not be at ease, and I always felt that something was going to happen. If this continues, I will get heart disease sooner or later, but does she appreciate the fact that I do this for her?"
Gu Si waved his hand, "Forget it, don't get angry with women."
"Forget it? Didn't you see what she did today? She was like a demon. She actually put a hairpin on the neck of the southern Xinjiang woman and sent her out, as if she was afraid that I would kill her. I was so
A bloodthirsty person? Do we have to kill her?"
Calmly said calmly: "Then the woman from southern Xinjiang is not a big threat. If it is really a threat, can Chu Shoufu let her out? She has been dealt with in the Chu Mansion. You are not calm enough this time."
Yu Wenhao said angrily: "Is this king the worm in Chu Shoufu's belly? Do you know what he thinks? Chu Shoufu is not necessarily that shrewd. There are always miscalculations. Otherwise, he would not let his granddaughter do mischief outside.
His granddaughter, there are not many good people in the Chu family. What if the southern Xinjiang woman colluded with Chu Mingyang and deliberately went to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to scheme against Yuan Qingling? Has she thought about the consequences? "
"The princess is not that stupid. She must have thought carefully. Do you distrust her too much?" Gu Si said.
