After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

Liu Zhenzhen quietly slipped in through the back door, avoiding the servants all the way and returned to her own yard.

The flowers in the yard are blooming luxuriantly, bringing with them a fragrant scent.

But at this moment it was unusually quiet, and there was no one around.

Liu Zhenzhen's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, "Oh no!" She lifted her skirt and ran towards the main courtyard.

Before I even entered, I heard my mother's extremely suppressed anger coming from inside.

"What do you mean you can't find anyone? Send me more people."

"Which is more important, reputation or Zhenzhen's safety? Is there a father as cruel as you who doesn't even care about his daughter's life or death?"

"Shut up, I don't want to hear you. There aren't enough people in the mansion. Go to the Beijing Camp to get some people. No matter what method you use, you must find Zhenzhen as soon as possible."

"..."

Liu Zhenzhen stood at the gate of the courtyard, her scalp tingling slightly.

She moved slowly like a turtle, and as soon as she appeared, the servants in the yard shouted in surprise.

"Fifth Miss! Madam, it's Miss, Miss is back!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole yard was in an uproar.

The wife of the Duke of Huguo ran out quickly. The moment she saw Liu Zhenzhen, the anger in her eyes almost burst out. She opened her mouth and scolded: "You dead girl, you still know how to come back? Who gave you the courage to leave the house without permission?"

However, when she ran to Liu Zhenzhen, she opened her arms and hugged her into her arms, crying and laughing: "Wow, you scared me to death. If anything happens to you, how will I live?"

Liu Zhenzhen rested her head on the shoulder of the wife of the Duke of Huguo, rubbed it affectionately, and said coquettishly: "I'm sorry, mother, I made you worry."

The Duke of Protectorate looked at his wife, whose expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book, and touched his chin awkwardly. Then his gaze fell on his daughter, and he saw that she was in a mess except for her fair face. His eyes suddenly became stern, and a surge of anger suddenly rose in his heart, like a wildfire that spread across the prairie, causing everyone around him to tremble.

"My dear daughter, who bullied you?"

When Lady Huguo heard this, she let go of Liu Zhenzhen and looked her up and down with a nervous and worried look: "How did it become like this?"

Liu Zhenzhen grinned, and suddenly glanced at the maids and servants kneeling not far away, and said flatteringly: "Mother, they were all coerced by me, can you forgive them this time?"

The group of kneeling servants were the ones serving Liu Zhenzhen.

She claimed that she was not feeling well and let her personal maid lie on her bed, thinking that she would sneak out to play and would be back soon. Her mother had entered the palace, and her father and brothers would not come to find her for a while. However, she did not expect that she would be delayed for a whole night and almost lost herself while saving a few people.

The wife of the Duke of Protectorate glanced over indifferently. The maids and servants kneeling on the ground lowered their heads. Even if she didn't look at the mistress of the house, she could still feel her suppressed anger and trembled in her heart.

Master, please stop talking.

As servants, they should have obeyed their masters, so when the fifth young lady was determined to leave the house, they were prepared to be punished by the lady when they couldn't stop her. It was their dereliction of duty that they failed to protect their master.

"If a servant like this fails to protect his master, what use is there for me to keep him in the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion?"

"Mother..." Liu Zhenzhen gently shook the wife of the Duke of Huguo, her eyes full of pleading, "They are loyal to me, and they will definitely do whatever I say. If they say one thing to my face and go to you to complain behind my back, then they are no different from traitors, and they cannot be kept."

The wife of the Duke of Huguo looked at Liu Zhenzhen helplessly: "If you indulge your servants like this, be careful not to indulge their courage, or they will climb over your head and control you in the future."

Liu Zhenzhen: "No, mother, even if they were given the courage of a few bears and leopards, they wouldn't dare to do that."

The wife of the Duke of the Guard was silent for a long while, and finally said with a look of compromise: "Okay, considering that you pleaded for them, each of them will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane, a small punishment but a big warning."

"Ah..." Liu Zhenzhen thought that she should just let it go.

They must have been kneeling for quite a while, so they have been punished.

The wife of the Duke of the Guard glared at her and said, "If you say that again, each of you will be given fifty strokes of the cane."

Liu Zhenzhen couldn't help but choke, and didn't dare to mention it again. Twenty strokes of the board would at most break some skin. Her mother was already angry, and she had no place to vent her anger. If each of them was really given fifty strokes of the board, half of their lives would be taken away.

When everyone heard the words of thanks, they all felt as if they had survived a calamity.

The wife of the Duke of Huguo pulled Liu Zhenzhen into the house and ordered someone to fetch water for her to bathe and change clothes.

When Liu Zhenzhen finished washing and changing her clothes, the wife of the Duke of Protectorate had already prepared a table of dishes.

"You've been out for so long, you must be hungry."

Liu Zhenzhen: "Mom, I ate at the Feast House when I came back, so I'm not hungry."

"That's good that you're not hungry." The Duke of the Guard looked relieved, and then asked, "Where did you go? Why did you stay out all night? Your mother went to see you today, and when she saw that it was Shi Liu lying on the bed, she almost went crazy."

Liu Zhenzhen shrank her neck and told her parents everything about her visit to the brothel, how she was chased for rescuing someone, and how she got help in the end under their inquiring gazes.

The faces of the Duke and Duchess of the Protectorate darkened visibly.

He was angry at his daughter's audacity, and secondly, furious that a small brothel dared to bully his daughter.

Humph, that Xunfang Tower, he will send people to destroy it later.

The wife of the Duke of Huguo gnashed her teeth as she stared at Liu Zhenzhen, wanting to give her daughter a good beating so that she would learn her lesson, but she couldn't bear to do so. In the end, she let out a long sigh: "Next time if you dare to sneak out of the house alone, I will sell all the servants in the courtyard and replace you with a new batch."

"Oh, I see." Liu Zhenzhen replied with her head shrugged.

Seeing his daughter's pitiful appearance, the Duke of the Protectorate felt so soft in his heart that he said hurriedly, "My dear daughter, your mother is too worried about you. If you want to go out to play, you can bring your guards with you and tell us."

If she really goes out with her guards and maids, can she also go to the brothel to broaden her horizons?

So you can’t bring anyone with you.

Liu Zhenzhen said silently in her heart.

"Which family is the sister Gu you are talking about?" The Duke of Huguo suddenly asked.

Thanks to this girl's help, otherwise she didn't dare to think whether her daughter could return home safely. What if she was caught by those people on the way? Even with the power of the Protector of the Country, Zhenzhen would be found sooner or later, but the later she found her daughter, the more danger she would be in.

The wife of the Duke of Huguo was extremely grateful to Gu Zhiyin.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhenzhen suddenly looked up at the wife of the Duke of Protectorate with a dazed look on her face.

Just when Lady Huguo was wondering whether Sister Gu's identity was inconvenient to disclose or not known to outsiders, she saw Liu Zhenzhen raise her hand and pat her forehead.

The force was so great that it frightened the Duke and his wife.

"What's wrong with my brain? I actually forgot to ask her where she came from."
