I was a queen in ancient times, no, a maid!

Cheng Yu knew that they were all good.

"I remember."

"Mother Zhang is gone. She was carried out and thrown into the land temple. When I rushed to find her, she was already very sick. She didn't have time to see a doctor because she was already gone."

When Zhao Rulan heard what Cheng Yu said, she burst into tears.

In fact, she could also think of it. She had stopped people from sending Mother Zhang away at the beginning, but this was not the Lu family, nor was it in the royal mansion. This was a prison, and she was a prisoner.

"Mother Zhang said that the eldest lady bought a courtyard for her before she got married. Now I am living in the courtyard with the young lady, Taozi, and Madam Li."

"Madam, you have to hold on. The young lady is still waiting for you to come out. She hasn't even called you mother yet."

After Zhao Rulan finished crying, Cheng Yu said that she earned money outside and saved it all except for daily expenses.

If I had more money, I could get another sister.

Dingxiang, Ziwei, Xiangling and others looked at Cheng Yu with gratitude.

Zhang Yuanjie glanced at Zhu'er quietly. When Zhu'er saw Zhang Yuanjie, tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to ask something but couldn't. The two of them didn't say anything, but it seemed like they had said everything.

Cheng Yu talked about the situation outside, delivered the mooncakes, and also told the lady about Zhang's mother's death.

In addition, Madam Li told Cheng Yu that she had asked the questions that Cheng Yu was asked.

Zhao Rulan said that she was in prison now, so she just had to listen to Cheng Yu about everything outside.

And everything they did was for Sister Yan, to protect her.

Later, Yan Jie'er told others that she was Cheng Yu's daughter.

Cheng Yu's husband was conscripted into the army and later died on the battlefield.

Wang Po, who had been gossiping about Cheng Yu's family, no longer dared to speak nonsense after she learned that Cheng Yu's husband was a soldier who died defending his country.

Because Cheng Yu had a husband who died in battle, she received some respectable honor from ordinary people.

Cheng Yu's business is getting better and better.

More than ten days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng Yu's brother Cheng Bin came secretly.

Gave Cheng Yu some things.

And some silver.

Cheng Bin said to Cheng Yu worriedly, "The whole family misses you. If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you had gotten rid of your status as a lowly person without permission and are now a daughter of a good family."

"You didn't even bother telling your family about this in advance."

Cheng Yu said: "I originally wanted to tell you in advance, but something happened to the Lu family. I only found out later that the lady had changed my identity in advance. Otherwise, I would definitely be in prison now."

"Brother, do you have any news about the prince? The lady is in prison, so pitiful."

Cheng Bin: "The person sent to deliver the message replied, saying that the Crown Prince is at war, and it will take several days to get from the garrison to the battlefield. Even if we go, we may not be able to see the Crown Prince."

Everyone is fighting, how can people just sit idle in the military tent?

Cheng Yu was anxious, "Then how long do we have to wait?"

Cheng Bin couldn't be sure, so he couldn't answer Cheng Yu's question.

My brother is honest and simple-minded. If you ask him more questions, he won't know the answer and he won't be able to reply. Cheng Yu understands this.

"I'm sorry, brother. I was too anxious. I shouldn't have spoken so harshly."

Cheng Bin said hurriedly: "It's also my incompetence that I can't help."

The brother and sister are here to apologize to each other.

Cheng Bin brought some money, more than ten taels, given by Cheng's grandmother.

Nanny Cheng didn't say anything bad.

From what Cheng Bin said, there was a hint of pride in his baby talk.

But I am more worried that Cheng Yu will not have a good life outside. Can a little girl like her make a living outside?

I have been a slave in the Cheng family for three lifetimes.

Who would have thought that Cheng Yu actually made it out and is now a good family boy.

Seeing that Cheng Yu didn't want it, Cheng Bin became anxious.

"Little sister, you have to take this money. If you don't take it, I won't be able to explain to grandma when I go back."

"My grandma is worried about you."

It's obvious that her cousin must have told her in front of her grandmother that she would starve to death if she left the house and went out to work.

"Brother, go back and tell grandma that I'm fine now and don't worry."

"Are you going back soon? If you're not in a hurry, just wait. I made mooncakes for someone a while ago and there are some left. You can take them back for grandma to eat. There's also braised meat. Don't you like the meat I cook?"

Speaking of this, Cheng Bin always has a headache.

When Heiya in the kitchen saw him, she asked, "When will your sister come? When your sister comes to the palace, you must let me know."

Everyone else said that Heiya fell in love with him and wanted to marry him.

He explained everywhere that Heiya came to him to ask about his sister, not him.

But no one believed this family at all.

Now, everyone who knows him and Hei Ya says that Hei Ya likes him.

I also advised him that Heiya is just a little dark, but she is actually quite good...

What a good thing.

Compared with Dingxiang in front of the lady, there is no comparison at all.

Cheng Bin hesitated, wanting to ask but not knowing how to ask.

Seeing her brother like this, Cheng Yu took the initiative to tell him about Ding Xiang's situation in prison.

"…Some time ago, I went to the Meng family in Jiangbei City to ask for help from the elder Meng family. Perhaps the Meng family made some arrangements, and now the mistress and her friends are not being bullied by the jailers. But it is not good for them to stay in there forever."

"Sister Dingxiang, Ziwei and several other maids are all with the Madam, taking care of each other."

"Brother, do you like Sister Dingxiang? I like her very much. She is gentle, virtuous, well-educated and well-mannered. She has learned a lot of characters from the eldest lady and her handwriting is also beautiful. If you don't marry her, it will be your loss."

Cheng Yu said this on purpose.

Cheng Bin became anxious when he heard this.

"Even if I want to marry her, she has to agree."

"Little sister, didn't you say before that you would help me to make connections? If you can help me to make connections, I will give you a big red envelope."

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Okay, you said so. I want a big red envelope."

Cheng Bin blushed immediately.

When Cheng Bin left, Cheng Yu packed two bags of mooncakes for him.

In fact, she had wanted to send something to her family during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but now she was too busy and couldn't leave.

In the past, when the eldest lady was sending things to the palace before anything happened, she could give some to her brother as well. It was also convenient and it was not a big deal to bring some things along.

But now, it's true, I have forgotten about it.

Cheng Yu was still thinking about buying some more things, but was stopped by Cheng Bin.

Cheng Yu was not allowed to spend money on buying things, saying that his grandmother lived in the palace and he could not afford good things, but these were good things that didn't cost money.

Cheng Bin was not in a hurry to go back. He said that the prince was not in the palace and their servants were not very busy.

He also thought that when he had free time in the future, he would come and help the girl.

Cheng Yu recalled that when she led people to make mooncakes, it was extremely difficult. Later, Zhang Yuanjie and his sister Zhang Sanniang came to help, and they completed the number of mooncakes that Mr. Cai wanted before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Later, Cheng Yu found out that Cai Kun was not giving the mooncakes as a gift to anyone. He received the mooncakes from Cheng Yu, packaged them, and then delivered them to merchants in Jiangbei City.

This is all a story for later.

Cheng Bin stayed with the girl until dark before going home.

When he returned to Cheng's house, he saw his grandmother lying in the house, so Cheng Bin took the mooncake away.

"Grandma, I'm back."

"Why did you come back so late? How is Sister Yu? I told your father to go see Sister Yu before he went to the farm, but he refused. Later I went to find your uncle and found out that your father was taking good care of an old widow at the farm. It pissed me off."

Hearing that it was Cheng Bin who came back, Nanny Cheng got up from the bed.

Cheng Bin said, "Grandma, is what uncle said true? My dad, he can't do that, right?"

"Your father couldn't, but he couldn't resist the widow's urging. The widow had three sons to support. Her husband was a farmhand and died early. The widow couldn't support the children herself, so she found your father, an honest man."

The widow was not from the village, but from a village nearby.

I don't know how they hooked up.

"I was wondering why your father was in such a hurry to go back to the farm, and he didn't even bother to check on his daughter."

"Grandma, my dad isn't that kind of person. Maybe someone else is just making that up."

Cheng Bin couldn't believe that his father was that kind of person.

Nanny Cheng thought about it and said, "Who knows what's going on here. We work in the palace and can't go to the farm casually. I'm just worried about your father."

"Grandma, my dad is already such a grown man, why are you worried? However, if it is really my dad who is looking for someone else, I have no objection, but I don't know what Yu'er thinks."

Speaking of girls, Cheng Bin has a lot to say.

"Grandma, let me tell you, Yu'er told me that she wants you to retire early. If you do, Yu'er will come to take you out and live with her."

Madam Cheng said immediately, "I won't go. I have lived in the palace all my life. If I go out, where will I live? I don't even have a place to stay. If I run out of food and water, won't I starve to death?"

Cheng Bin laughed.

It is said that Yu'er rented a shop in the city, selling braised meat, and her business is very good.

I also asked Nanny Cheng to eat the mooncakes and try them. They were made by Yu'er and are very delicious. There are many repeat customers who come here for the delicious taste.
