Chapter 956 956 Butler, for the power of the palace
Is the Qiu family really in such a mess?
When Ji Yunkai heard Mrs. Xu's words, he was stunned for a moment and asked her with his eyes if what she said was true.
"Princess, I dare not lie to you." Mrs. Xu smiled bitterly. Seeing that Ji Yunkai was interested in the Qiu family, she couldn't help but say a few more words: "Princess, Mrs. Qiu and I met several times when we were young.
Mrs. Qiu comes from a scholarly family, but both her father and brother died young. She is an orphan. Although she has a bad life experience, she is the most sensible and kind person. She has always lived alone and is in good health. After marrying into the Qiu family, she started to fall ill.
He has not appeared in front of anyone for more than ten years, and I have not seen anyone when I visited several times."
No one would stand up for someone without any reason. Mrs. Xu specifically mentioned the Qiu family's affairs in front of Ji Yunkai, with the intention of cheating the Qiu family, but it was more for her friends back then.
Such a bright and lively girl should not be trapped and die in the back house of the Qiu family.
"Mrs. Xu is quite candid." Seeing Mrs. Xu explain her words, Ji Yunkai stopped thinking about it.
No one has any selfish motives. No matter whether Mrs. Xu is helping her friends or trying to crush the Qiu family for the Xu family, what she said is just the truth.
"Princess Mingjian, I dare not talk nonsense. All the ladies here know about the Qiu family. The princess can ask these ladies." Although Mrs. Xu had selfish motives, she did not exaggerate, and she did not dare to mess with Ji Yunkai.
Before Ji Yunkai could ask, Mrs. Zhang echoed: "Princess, what Mrs. Xu said is right. Mrs. Qiu has hardly appeared in front of people in these years. Every time there is a banquet in the Qiu family, either the aunt will show up or not."
go."
"I'm on good terms with the Qiu family. I've been to the Qiu family a few times, but I've never met Mrs. Qiu." When people who were on good terms with the Qiu family heard Mrs. Xu's words, they knew something was going to happen to the Qiu family.
They had also complained privately about the chaos in the Qiu family. To be honest, they sympathized with Mrs. Qiu and looked down upon the Qiu family.
What the Qiu family did was really disgusting. Even if they have a good relationship with the Qiu family, they can't speak for the Qiu family when they mention this matter.
"Rule the country, regulate the family, and bring peace to the world. No matter how busy General Qiu is with his official duties, he should take care of his family's affairs. Look at the chaos in this family." Ji Yunkai shook his head.
At a glance, from Miss Qiu's behavior, we can see that the Qiu family is actually unreasonable.
"The princess is right." Mrs. Xu's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard Ji Yunkai's words.
No matter what, with the princess's words, things about her friend may have turned around.
Mrs. Xu knew that haste makes waste, so she went through the affairs of the Qiu family and stopped talking. She pointed at Miss Qiu and asked, "Princess, what should I do with this Miss Qiu?"
"Send it to the Qiu family and let them teach you a lesson." After learning about the Qiu family's inner curtain, Ji Yunkai gave up trying to reason with Miss Qiu.
There is an unreasonable mother, and this Miss Qiu is by no means a reasonable person. She has already settled Miss Qiu's matter, and there is no need to argue with Miss Qiu anymore.
"Don't worry, Princess, I will take care of this matter." Mrs. Xu wanted to borrow Ji Yunkai's hand to save her sisters, but she also knew that just standing back and doing nothing would not work, so she immediately took over the matter, "Mother Liu, please help me."
I'll take Miss Qiu home."
"Yes." The old lady behind Mrs. Xu stepped forward and came to invite Miss Qiu, "Miss Qiu, please..."
"I was invited by the palace to stay at King Yanbei. What qualifications do you have to ask me to leave?" Miss Qiu naturally refused to leave. Once she leaves, will there be a chance to stay here in the future?
The answer is definitely no.
"I don't know whether the prince has invited the girl, but I know that the princess has not invited you. Miss Qiu, if you don't want me to be rough, please be more conscious." Aunt Liu was not polite to Miss Qiu at all.
Speaking of which, she has quite a connection with the current Mrs. Qiu. In her early years, she served Mrs. Qiu for a period of time. Later, Mrs. Qiu's natal family failed and could not afford to support the servants in the house. Mrs. Qiu took care of them for them before getting married.
The places to go were arranged one by one.
It was Mrs. Qiu's credit that Nanny Liu was able to enter the Xu Mansion and win Mrs. Xu's respect.
If something like this happens, it's only natural that Aunt Liu would be polite to Miss Qiu.
"You..." Miss Qiu's face turned red with anger, pointing at Ji Yunkai and Mrs. Xu, looking like she was about to cry.
Standing behind her were the servants of the palace, all of them bowed their heads and dared not say a word.
Aunt Liu didn’t say much to Miss Qiu. She raised her hand and asked someone to take Miss Qiu away. At this time, the housekeeper of Yanbei Palace came out...
"What's going on? Why are you standing at the door? Why hasn't the princess entered the house yet?" The housekeeper of Yanbei Palace is nearly fifty years old. His back is a little bent, but his steps are steady. He is obviously a practicing man.
He had a high status in the palace. When he saw Ji Yunkai sitting outside the door, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he was accusing him in his words. He obviously didn't take Ji Yunkai, the princess, seriously.
Ji Yunkai was not surprised at all by this. If it weren't for the support of the palace's housekeeper, how could Miss Qiu be so arrogant?
In Ji Yunkai's opinion, this Miss Qiu was most likely a chess piece pushed out by the housekeeper to test her.
"Steward Xiao, you're here just in time... The princess thought I didn't make good arrangements and refused to enter the house, so she even called Mrs. Xu and the others." When Miss Qiu saw the housekeeper coming, she immediately felt confident.
Butler Xiao was not originally named Xiao. The old prince saw that he was loyal and gave him his primary surname.
That's right, Butler Xiao belongs to the old prince, so the prince didn't touch him. Even though there was a lot of trouble in Yanbei earlier, he still sat in the position of the housekeeper.
"It turns out that the princess thinks the accommodation is not good. Miss Qiu is young and ignorant. Please forgive me." Butler Xiao bowed his hands, but he didn't mean much respect. Even when Butler Xiao talked about Miss Qiu, it was like talking about his own.
Deputy, no respect at all.
Obviously, if this Miss Qiu is really a servant in the palace, even the housekeeper of the palace does not take her seriously.
"Speaking of this, it's all my fault. I have to handle many things in the house by myself. My health is not good, my energy is low, and I can't do anything at the moment. Miss Qiu was invited to live in the palace, and she saw that the servant was struggling.
I just help take care of the miscellaneous things in the palace. If the princess is dissatisfied with anything, please forgive her, I will take over everything now, and I will personally take care of everything from now on."
Butler Xiao is definitely capable. He can clear up the matter in just a few words and even dig a trap for Ji Yun to escape.
Isn't Ji Yunkai dissatisfied with Miss Qiu?
That's fine, he will take back Miss Qiu's rights and do everything by himself from now on. In short, Ji Yunkai will not want to get involved in the power of Prince Xiao's house.
After all, it is actually all about the power of the palace... (To be continued)
