Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Li Yu and Qing Bi looked at each other. Qing Bi coughed, interrupting the visitor's mumbling, "What happened outside?"

The person who was speaking just realized that there were two people here, and took a step back in fear, "You...you..."

Qingbi didn't have the patience to waste time with her, and said, "You are the maid of the Taifu Mansion, right? I saw you last night. What did you mean by what you just said?"

The maid knew Li Yu and Qing Bi. Thinking of her mistress's comments about Princess Jianing and the Li lady in front of her last night, she paused and said, "An outsider has entered the residence of the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei."

The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei?

Is that the Miss Xiao who cries all the time?

Li Yu looked straight at the maid, "What's going on?"

The maid shook her head. "I can't tell you the details. My young lady lives very close to the two young ladies from the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion. A quarter of an hour ago, I was fetching water for my young lady when I heard a scream. Then, I heard the maid from the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion say that their eldest young lady had a man from outside her family's room. Now the news has spread."

Li Yu: "Have you seen that man?"

Little girl: "No, I only heard the sound."

Li Yu: “…”

In this era, if a man outside of her relationship enters a woman's bedroom, the man may be able to get away with it, but the woman will not have a good ending.

That Miss Xiao is going to have a hard time.

However, the palace was heavily guarded, so such a thing shouldn't have happened.

Could it be that someone did it on purpose?

Several thoughts flashed through Li Yu's mind. She took a deep breath and continued to make fried milk.

Qingbi couldn't wait to see what was going on, but she knew in her heart that her princess was more important, so she suppressed her curiosity and waited for Li Yu to finish making the fried milk.

*

A quarter of an hour later, the two men hurried back to the princess' courtyard carrying fried milk.

Princess Jianing had already gotten up and had just finished dressing. When she saw Li Yu coming back, she stepped forward and grabbed her, "There's something going on today. Come on, let's go take a look."

There was still a plate in his hand, fearing that she would drop the food on the plate due to excessive movement, Li Yu hurriedly handed the plate to Qingbi, "Princess, don't you want breakfast?"

Princess Jianing saw that the plate contained her favorite fried milk and sat down again, "It's not too late for me to eat some before leaving."

Li Yu put a lot of thought into making it for her, she couldn’t just leave without eating.

Half a minute later, the two of them set off with Qingbi and headed to the residence of several female members of the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion.

*

People come to the palace every year, but this year something so big happened that not only the ladies and young ladies from various families, but also the maids and servants who serve them are more spirited than each other.

And the closer you get to the residence of the women of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, the more interesting the expressions of the maids and servants become.

Li Yu looked at it and felt that today's matter was not that simple.

Princess Jianing also thought of the same thing and said thoughtfully, "That foreign man should not be an ordinary person."

The two of them speculated in low voices, and soon they arrived at the place.

Before entering the courtyard, Li Yu heard the voice of the Third Prince's wife, "You are just protecting this vixen like this, who do you think I am!"

Then came a male voice that was neither nice nor bad, "Don't go crazy here, it's embarrassing, why don't you go back to your yard!"

Li Yu: "Is this the Third Prince?"

Princess Jianing's expression was very interesting. "It's him."

*

At this time, in the courtyard.

A dozen ladies and noble girls stood aside, each with a different look in their eyes.

In the middle of the courtyard, the Third Prince's wife was glaring at a man in a royal blue robe with an angry look on her face. The man looked ordinary, with sinister eyes.

At the door of the house behind the man, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family was leaning against the door frame, crying into her handkerchief.

As for the other people in Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, they stood at one side of the door, all with very bad expressions. Especially the wife of Zhenbei Marquis, there was no trace of emotion in her eyes.

Li Yu felt that if possible, the wife of Zhenbei Marquis would have killed the eldest daughter of their family. After all, her biological daughter, the second daughter of the Xiao family, had not yet been engaged. Now that the eldest daughter had such an incident, the reputation of the second daughter was also damaged.

*

Putting aside these unnecessary things, Li Yu shook his head and continued to look at what was in front of him.

As this matter concerned her, the Third Prince's wife was almost furious. She pointed at the eldest daughter of the Xiao family and said, "I will never let you take her into the palace as a concubine. Forget this idea."

The Third Prince: "You bitch. I am a proper prince. I don't have to do whatever you say."

The Third Prince’s Consort: “…”

The two of them argued back and forth for more than ten sentences.

Just when Li Yu thought they were going to continue arguing, Miss Xiao's crying suddenly got louder.

"I..." She tried to stand up by holding onto the door frame, but perhaps because she didn't have enough strength or was just pretending, she fell down weakly again.

Then, she pressed her forehead, looking very weak, "It's all my fault... It's all my fault, Third Prince, Third Prince's Consort, you two are both very noble, you must not ruin your relationship because of a little girl like me. It's all my fault, today, I will die to atone for my sins!"

After saying that, she took out a hairpin from her bosom and poked it into her heart without saying a word.

*

There was an uproar.

The maid who served Miss Xiao was horrified and grabbed the hairpin in panic.

"Girl, you can't die. Last night was an accident. It's not your fault."

Miss Xiao looked at the maid who was crying with snot and tears streaming down her face. "I have lost my innocence and cannot live in this world anymore. Mother..."

She looked at the wife of the Zhenbei Marquis and Miss Xiao Er, "I am sorry for you and my father. Let me die now, so as not to bring disgrace to the Marquis's mansion."

*

Li Yu watched Miss Xiao perform.

Yes, to watch her perform.

In modern times, people like Miss Xiao would be called a green tea bitch by many people. She speaks and acts in a restrained manner, but in fact, she has a lot of bad intentions.

What happened at night might have been done by her.

Li Yu was guessing, and when she turned her head, she saw Xie Youlan out of the corner of her eye. She paused, and seeing that Princess Jianing was enjoying the whole thing, she said something to Qingbi, and then quietly left.

She found Xie Youlan at the door. "Yesterday, Miss Xie said something happened at night. Could it be this incident?"

There was no one else around, so Xie Youlan didn't hide anything and said directly, "Yes."

Li Yu paused, "How did you know?"

Xie Youlan glanced at Li Yu calmly and said, "I heard it by chance."

That day, she went to the restaurant for dinner and heard the conspiracy between Miss Xiao Da and the Third Prince's men. But at that time, their conspiracy was to make Miss Xiao Er and the Third Prince have a good relationship.

Because the Marquis of Zhenbei held military power, the Third Prince wanted it, but the Marquis of Zhenbei was unwilling to marry his daughter to him, so he had no way of gaining military power through marriage.

After trying several times without success, the Third Prince decided to find an opportunity to spend a night with the Second Miss Xiao. This way, if the Zhenbei Marquisate wanted to keep the Second Miss Xiao alive, they had no choice but to let her marry him.

Because the other party was the third prince, she did not make it public after hearing it, and only sent an anonymous message to the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

I thought the wife of Marquis Zhenbei could solve it, but problems still arose. Although the second Miss Xiao was fine, the current situation was really ugly.

*

After listening to Xie Youlan's summary, Li Yu said, "What a great show."

I know the cause, but I don't understand the process. As for the consequences...

The eldest daughter of the Xiao family should not die.

Li Yu stood there and watched the show calmly, but he never expected that the Third Prince's wife became so angry that she actually started scolding the onlookers.
