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

Jiang was slightly annoyed and said unkindly, "Why does the master insist on Qingcheng's indenture? Even if Gu Zhiyin wants to employ someone, there are so many servants in the mansion, so is there no one available?"

"Shut up." Gu Yanqing shouted angrily, "You are talking nonsense here without knowing anything. Just take it when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"Master, if you don't make it clear today, I won't agree."

Gu Yanqing was so angry that he fell backwards. He wished he could hand over Qing Cheng's indenture immediately and sever their master-servant relationship so that the wife of the Duke of Huguo would calm down. Although he didn't come to the Gu family to question her for the sake of his eldest daughter, who knew how much Gu Zhiyin's face was worth?

What if they drag their feet and the maids in the Duke of Huguo's mansion think that the Gu family did it on purpose? What if they really annoy the Duke's wife and she disregards her eldest daughter's face?

Jiang was still here, wasting time and talking nonsense with him.

"When he left the house today, he startled the horse of the fourth young master of the Duke of the Guardian, causing him to fall off the horse and get injured. He was taken away. The Duke's wife was originally going to come to the house to question him, but when she learned that he was a member of the Gu family, she let him off the hook and said that as long as the Gu family kicked this servant out of the Gu family, she would not hold the Gu family responsible. Now you are holding on to his indenture and keep saying that he is your capable servant. Are you afraid that the people of the Duke of the Guardian will not question you and say that you ordered Qingcheng to offend the fourth young master?"

Gu Yanqing was so angry that he finished speaking in one breath without even taking a break.

Jiang's face turned pale and blue at his scolding. She pretended to be calm and said, "Since the Duke's wife is considering Gu Zhiyin's face, can't we just let it go?"

"Heh..." Gu Yanqing looked at Jiang with a cold gaze: "I don't know when Qingcheng asked you to take it so seriously?"

Jiang's heart skipped a beat when she heard that.

Although this was just a casual remark made by Gu Yanqing, if he continued to be in a stalemate, he might suspect that he and Qingcheng had some shameful relationship. There was no need to sacrifice his innocence for a servant.

But without Qingcheng's indenture, Mother Hu probably wouldn't listen to her.

"Master, I didn't know the whole story. I thought Gu Zhiyin wanted to use Qingcheng, and I was afraid that if there was any trouble in the end, it would be blamed on our Gu family. Since this dog slave caused such a big disaster, he naturally cannot be kept. I will go and get his indenture." Jiang looked at Gu Yanqing tenderly, her attitude softened, and she said softly.

Gu Yanqing's anger instantly dissipated when he heard this, and he nodded and said, "Well, go get it quickly."

Jiang turned and went into the house, and quickly gave Qingcheng's indenture contract to Gu Yanqing.

Looking at Gu Yanqing's leaving back, she gritted her teeth in anger.

How could it be such a coincidence!

In the study, Gu Yanqing handed Qing Cheng's indenture to the old woman and said politely, "This bastard is acting rashly. I hope mom can say a few good words for me in front of the Duke and Madam."

The old woman accepted the indenture and said respectfully, "Master Gu, don't worry. Since that person is no longer a servant of the Gu family, the Madam will naturally not vent her anger on the Gu family. I will take my leave first."

As she said this, she bowed.

"Father, I'm leaving too." Gu Zhiyin stood up and said.

Gu Yanqing nodded and whispered to Gu Zhiyin: "The Duke's wife treats you well. You must seize the opportunity and maintain this relationship."

Gu Zhiyin raised her head slightly, glanced at Gu Yanqing, and said, "I understand, father."

My heart is calm and there is not much loss.

Gu Zhiyin and the maid left the Gu residence, got on the carriage, and slowly walked towards the Duke of Huguo's residence.

“Princess, here you go.” The old woman handed the indenture contract to Gu Zhiyin.

Gu Zhiyin accepted it and said with a smile, "Thank you mom for making this trip today. Please thank Madam for me."

The old woman smiled and said, "Yes, I will definitely pass on the message."

Gu Zhiyin first sent the maid back to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, and then returned to the palace. Dusk fell, and the last ray of sunset disappeared in the sky.

"The servant Qingcheng greets the young lady."

Qing Cheng saw Gu Zhiyin entering the house and knelt down to salute.

Gu Zhiyin smiled and raised her hand: "Hurry up, have you seen your mother?"

Qing Cheng stood up and grinned at Gu Zhiyin: "I have seen you. I calculated that the young lady should be back soon, so I am waiting here."

Today his mother sent him a message, asking him to find a chance to leave the house and wait on East Street. At that time, he was puzzled because East Street is such a big street, and it was not clear where exactly to wait.

As soon as he turned into East Street, a group of guards grabbed him without saying a word. He was so scared that he lost his soul. He wondered if he had offended a big shot, or if his mother had offended someone and pushed him out to take the blame.

Then he was taken to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. Finally, the Duke's wife told him that it was just a show. Because the eldest lady wanted to use him, she thought of a way to ask the lady to take out his indenture, and then someone would be sent to send him to the Prince of Pingyang's Mansion.

I was completely confused by what he heard. Even though I had countless questions in my mind, I didn't dare to ask more in front of the wife of the Duke of Protectorate. I could only respond obediently.

It was not until he was sent to Prince Pingyang's Palace and met his mother that he knew the whole story.

"I didn't discuss this with you in advance because I was afraid that my mother would become suspicious. I didn't know if you were willing to stay and help me. If you weren't willing, I would return the indenture contract to you and set you free. This way..." Your mother would also be relieved.

"I am willing to follow you, young lady."

Without waiting for Gu Zhiyin to finish her words, Qing Cheng kowtowed immediately.

Being able to work in the Prince of Pingyang's Palace is something that many people would love to do. So what if he is free? He will still be a slave in another place. Now that the eldest lady is willing to use him, this is his chance.

Gu Zhiyin smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll take you down to settle down. You can serve in the front yard on weekdays."

"Thank you, Miss." Qing Cheng responded happily.

Gu Zhiyin returned to Qionghua Courtyard, and Mother Hu walked into the house with tea.

"I thank the Princess." Mother Hu bowed.

"Mother Hu, there's no need to be so polite. I'm doing this for myself." Gu Zhiyin said with a smile.

After Qingcheng left the Gu family, Mother Hu no longer had to worry about her son being controlled by the Jiang family, and she would be able to work harder for her in the future.

Although she is the head of the Pingyang Palace, she also needs her own confidants. The people in the palace can be trained, but that is not a matter of one or two days. Since she has people available, why should she seek someone far away?

Especially when it comes to matters outside the mansion, with Qingcheng running errands for her, things are much more convenient for her at this stage.

Besides, who would complain about having too few people to use?

This was possible thanks to Liu Zhenzhen's willingness to help her act out the drama. Qingcheng was shocked to find that Liu Beiwang's horse was fake, Liu Beiwang did not fall off the horse and get injured, and the wife of the Duke of Huguo did not get furious.

These words might not fool those noble families, but they were enough to fool her father.
