Lan Xijing stayed in the mansion for a long time, and when she left, she took away a lot of Su Qingwan's books. Su Qingwan felt helpless about this.

She heard that the Lan family was already looking for a husband for Lan Xijing again.

But a woman's marriage usually starts from before she reaches the age of 15, and it may take several years to finalize.

Lan Xijing is about the same age as her, and it might be difficult to find a suitable one in such a short time.

She thought about all the men in Beijing, but couldn't think of anyone who was worthy of Lan Xijing.

That's it!

The people in the Lan Mansion were already worried about her, and now she was more worried about the impact of this incident on Yan Mingjue.

Not long after Lan Xijing left, Qinshu came to report:

"Miss, Aunt Hong is here."

Su Qingwan raised her eyelids:

"Let her in."

Aunt Hong was brought in quickly. She bowed politely to Su Qingwan:

"lady!"

"No need to be polite, just sit down."

Su Qingwan looked at Aunt Hong.

There is no trace of recklessness in Aunt Hong now, as if she has become a different person.

She pondered for a moment and said:

"What brings you here today?"

"Please take me in, madam."

As she spoke, Aunt Hong knelt down:

"I have nowhere to go. I have no family. Even if Madam gives me freedom, I don't know where I can go in the future."

"I only ask Madam to give me a place to settle down."

Su Qingwan nodded upon hearing this:

"Get up and talk."

"Since this is what you want, then you can stay in the mansion with peace of mind."

"No, ma'am."

Aunt Hong looked up at Su Qingwan:

"I don't want to be a concubine anymore. Madam, please let me be a maid again."

Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Before she could speak, Aunt Hong continued:

"I didn't know the immensity of the world before, but now I think that being a maid was the happiest thing."

"Please help me, Madam."

Su Qingwan looked at Aunt Hong for a long time, then raised the corner of her mouth:

"In that case, then it's up to you."

"You served the master in the past, and you should continue to serve the master in the future."

Aunt Hong was stunned. She didn't expect Su Qingwan to agree to her so easily and put her next to Yan Mingjue.

She was stunned for a moment and quickly shook her head:

"Madam, I dare not have any more delusions. I want to stay by your side and serve you."

"Oh?"

It has to be said that Aunt Hong gave Su Qingwan a lot of surprises and unexpected things today.

She said calmly:

"Okay, then you can stay by my side and serve me."

"You have met Qinshu and Miaohua before. You can just follow them and work with them in the future."

"Thank you, Madam."

This time, Aunt Hong agreed.

After Aunt Hong left, Miao Hua frowned and said:

"Ma'am, you really have to keep her by your side."

"Since she wants to, then stay and see what she is going to do."

"You two should keep a close eye on them."

Su Qingwan instructed.

She had not expected Hong Yi Niang's choice. She did not want to serve Yan Mingjue, but actually wanted to stay by her side.

Instead of being on guard, stay with yourself.

She was also very curious about what Aunt Hong's purpose was.

Two days later, Yan Mingjue finally came back.

After he arrived in Beijing, he did not return home. Instead, he asked someone to pass a note to Su Qingwan and then went into the palace first.

There were only two words written in a flamboyant style on the note:

"nothing!"

Seeing these two words, Su Qingwan immediately felt relieved.

Once Yan Mingjue entered the palace, he stayed there for most of the night, and no one knew what he and Emperor Xuanwu talked about.

Everyone knew that he was out on business this time, and it was said to be an investigation into corruption.

For a moment, everyone was in a panic.
