After traveling through time, she just wanted to eat, drink and have fun

But now, he just has to listen. Not only does he have to listen, but he also has to serve others. Who can be as frustrated as him? He used to be the king of Tang Tang, but now he is like this! I don’t know what Xian’er’s reaction would be if he were the king.

After listening to the report from the secret guard, Prince Jing said: It's quite interesting.

Life is really hard for women in this world. They can only depend on men. They have to look at the faces of their fathers and brothers at home, and look at the faces of their husband's family after marriage. If they are not satisfied, they will be beaten and scolded. Some girls even lose the right to live from the moment they are born, just because they are girls.

Perhaps, my mother had her own reasons back then.

So, what's wrong with having such a story that makes them feel happier? Even if there really is such a paradise in the world that can make women live a little easier, what's wrong with that?

In the calm lotus pond outside the window, a bright red koi suddenly jumped out of the water and fell back into the water, causing ripples. The water surface immediately became sparkling and very beautiful.

Back in the pavilion, Zhu Yu finished telling the story vividly and was drinking Jiangnan's unique low-alcohol fruit wine to quench his thirst. Suddenly, the system's mechanical voice rang in his mind: "Congratulations host, congratulations host, the bond value is reduced by 15%, and the current bond value is 40%. The black value is reduced by 5%, and the current black value is 75%!"

Zhu Yu: ???

Why did it drop? Didn't happiness come too suddenly?

After a pause, there was no response from the system in his mind. Zhu Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! Not even a little overtime!"

She put down the cup in her hand, picked up a tendon skewer and took a bite, hum!

I don’t know what Liu Yinyin did to lower the bond value.

Ai Yun watched the group of little maids below whispering to each other after listening to the story.

Suddenly, a maid looked at Zhu Yu as if she wanted to say something. Zhu Yu also noticed the maid's strangeness. She nodded to her carelessly and said, "It's okay. If you have something to say, just tell me. I love eating barbecue, but I don't eat people."

The little maid smiled and said, "Sister Noble, it's nothing. I just said that I passed by that overpass when I went home to visit my family some time ago, and it happened that the storyteller was telling this story that day."

Zhu Yu thought, could it be that she also received a book?

"Then a little girl about my age gave me a book. The book contained the story you just told me."

Ai Yun asked, "What did you do after you finished reading it? Did you find anything different about the book?"

The little maidservant rubbed her hands in embarrassment and said, "I can't read. The book was read to me by a guard in the front yard. After listening to it, she said she wanted to take it home to show her sister, so I gave the book to him."

The maids around her must have a good relationship with her and they winked at her.

But a maid who was a little further away said in a bad tone, "Guard Zhang hasn't been on duty for several days. Did you scare him away by begging him to tell you a story?"

The little maid was a little ashamed and angry for a moment. A tall and thin maid beside her spoke up for her and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Everyone knows that you have a crush on Guard Zhang. You stick to him every day, but he doesn't even look at you. You might have scared him away!"

The people around the little maid with a bad tone also helped her to retort, and for a while the two groups started quarreling. Zhu Yu looked at the situation in front of her and sighed. It was over. She didn’t get any news, but instead the maids in the mansion started quarreling. Although the people in the Liu Mansion didn’t say anything, who knows what they were thinking of her in their hearts...

Xiaoying, who was secretly eating grilled pig intestines with Xiaohua in a corner, saw the two groups arguing fiercely. She immediately threw the greasy grilled pig intestines in her hand onto the rack, stood up and shouted, "Stop arguing. Do you want me to ask your master on behalf of the young lady, is this how you guys quarrel every day?"

It's so annoying. She was eating happily. The young lady has a good temper and she won't indulge them.

Zhu Yu: Not really.

When the two groups heard that they were looking for their master, they immediately fell silent.

Zhu Yu laughed dryly, "Don't be afraid, I'm not that kind of person, but you guys should stop arguing. It's not worth it to make such a fuss over a man."

Although her words were dry, due to her status as a noble lady, the maids all bowed and apologized politely, and the matter was temporarily put behind them.

"To be honest, you all know why we are here this time. It's because of the case of the missing woman. How could such a group of girls disappear without a trace, without leaving any clues." Zhu Yu lost interest in chatting with them and asked directly.

"Yes, it has caused panic among the people of Jiangnan. In the past, when we were not on duty at night, we would sometimes go out to play for a while, but now we dare not even go out." A maid who had not participated in the quarrel bravely echoed.

"Alas, among the missing people is my second cousin from my third aunt's family. Her parents still don't believe that their daughter is missing, and they are worried and sighing at home every day." A maid in purple clothes sighed.

A maid in pink clothes beside her said disdainfully, "Everyone knows that your third aunt's son is anxious to get married but can't afford the bride price. They are worried that they can't marry their daughter off in exchange for the bride price for their son's marriage, right?"

The purple-dressed maid lightly punched the pink-dressed maid, "You are such a jerk, didn't I tell you to keep it a secret?"

The pink-dressed maid grabbed her hand and rubbed it apologetically while saying, "I just can't stand it."

It seems that the two have a good relationship.

Zhu Yu gave Xiaoying a look, and Xiaoying nodded and gave her a reassuring look in return.

Yu Wen also took another look at the purple-clothed maid.

The maids began to talk about some random rumors, which were basically what Prince Jing could find out. Gradually, the topic began to shift uncontrollably to other things.

The next morning, Xiaoying came in cheerfully carrying a plate of Begonia cakes, and playfully said to Zhu Yu as she walked in, "Miss, I got some news."

Zhu Yu put down the novel in his hand and praised him in a cooperative tone: "You are really great, tell me about it."

Xiaoying put the Begonia cake down, sat on the footstool beside the bed and began to tell the gossip she had just heard in a vivid manner. It turned out that the maid in pink and the maid in purple last night were very good friends. They talked about everything on weekdays. The maid in purple whispered to the maid in pink that her brother and the second cousin from the third aunt's family had been in love for a long time, and they went to the third aunt's family to propose marriage a few years ago, but the third aunt's family asked for a high price for the bride price, and her brother could not afford it, so he was directly kicked out.

If it were just that, it would be fine, because their family was poor. It is understandable that the third aunt's family wanted their daughter to live a good life. But not long after, the third aunt's son was getting married and could not afford the gift price. The third aunt's family spread the word that whoever could afford the gift price for their son could marry their daughter. It was said that the couple was finally married to a rich old widower. Her second cousin had been secretly discussing the marriage before she disappeared. No one knew about this, and it was kept secret by her third aunt's family. The reason why the purple-clothed maid knew about it was because one day her brother missed her second cousin so much that he stood outside the second cousin's house all night. Coincidentally, the old widower got up early to discuss the marriage and was heard by him.

Zhu Yu reached out and handed a piece of Begonia cake to Xiaoying, feeling a little speechless. There is really no shortage of parents like this at all times. They would rob Peter to repair Paul, and if the east wall collapsed, it collapsed. They didn't care at all.

Ai Yun, who was preparing medicine at the side, had a dark look in her eyes, but she concealed it well.

Sakura stopped talking and ate the pastries in small bites.

Zhu Yu watched Xiaoying finish the cakes in her hand, then stood up and said to Aiyun and Xiaoying, "Let's go find Prince Jing."

Ai Yun sorted out the medicine in her hand, picked up a small bottle, and walked with Zhu Yu to Prince Jing's temporary study in Liu's mansion.

When the three of them entered, Prince Jing put down the book in his hand and looked up at the two of them. For some reason, Ai Yun felt that the book looked familiar.
