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

Zhao Rulan smiled but tears fell.

"The crime that the Second Master committed was to murder the Fourth Prince. Now there is no movement from the Second Prince, and it seems that he is not willing to protect the Second Master. I went to the Du family, the Minister of the Qingliu clan, to ask for a favor, but the Du family's wife did not show up, but only sent someone to come with me. I am afraid that the Second Master will be exiled to Lingnan."

"As for you and the women of the Lu family, I think that if someone spends money to get them out, they will definitely be able to get out."

Zhao Rulan shook her head. "It's easy to say, but where can we get so much money? The Lu family has been raided, so who would be willing to spend money on us?"

"Madam, don't worry, no matter how much it costs, I will save you."

"There are also Sister Dingxiang, Sister Ziwei, and the people from our Orchid Garden."

Dingxiang and Ziwei cried uncontrollably after seeing Cheng Yu, but they dared not say much. They also knew in their hearts that some people would spend money to save their masters, but no one would spend money to save a maid.

Buying a maid outside is like buying a wife, how much money can it cost.

Why spend a lot of money to get a maid in prison?

If no one cares, these maids will definitely be locked up in jail for life. As for their future use, when no one cares about them, they can be dealt with as they please.

Regardless of whether Cheng Yu's words were true or false, they gave Zhao Rulan a glimmer of hope to survive.

Cheng Yu whispered to Zhao Rulan, "I have already written a letter to my brother. He must have sent someone to the military camp to inform the prince."

I just don't know if the prince has his own people in Kyoto. If he has his own guards, it would be much faster.

If not, the round trip would take at least half a month.

Once we arrive at the military camp, if the prince has gone to fight, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in a short time.

"Madam, I'm sorry to trouble you during the time when the prince can't come back. Don't worry, I will come to see you often. My little sister is still young, so I can't bring her here."

"Yu'er, thank you so much." Zhao Rulan said sincerely.

"Before the madam encountered the disaster, she was still thinking about Yu'er's indenture. Yu'er naturally knew how to be grateful and repay her. Don't worry, as long as there is a chance, I will not give up the chance to save you."

He talked a lot.

Cheng Yu took out the food. Since the bowls and chopsticks could not be brought in, the food could only be sent in through the door.

Fortunately, the food Cheng Yu made was easy to handle, including pastries, roast chicken, braised pork elbows, and boiled eggs.

"Madam, I know you are respectable, so I brought two boxes of hair oil. It's not as good as the one you used before, but it smells okay."

"Madam, time is running out. I'm leaving soon. You must take good care of yourself."

Cheng Yu looked at Ding Xiang and said, "You all need to take good care of yourselves. The prince will definitely come to save everyone."

Everyone has lost hope.

The appearance of Cheng Yu gave them hope of survival.

Zhu'er, who had been sitting motionless in the corner, didn't dare to go forward when she saw Cheng Yu. Now the eldest lady had to rely on Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu couldn't even take care of the eldest lady, so how could he take care of her?

She just lived in a servant's room with Cheng Yu.

They are not real sisters.

Cheng Yu took out some braised meat from the food box and said, "This is what the delivery guy brought. He said it's for everyone."

When Zhu'er heard Cheng Yu say "send the food to Zhang", her expression changed slightly.

"He's here too..." Zhu'er whispered, "He definitely didn't come for me, he must have come for Yu'er."

But at least Zhu'er regained some energy.

Cheng Yu didn't talk to them, not because she didn't want to, but because she didn't dare. She was afraid that if she said too much, her words would be warm and give everyone hope. If she couldn't do it in the future, how pitiful they would be.

As long as the prince is around, the lady will definitely be fine.

His Majesty does not like Prince Jing, and no one in the court cares about Zhao Rulan, a girl from Prince Jing's mansion. If she were a favored girl, she could find someone to go to the palace to beg the Queen Mother.

No matter what, Prince Jing also grew up in the palace.

Before Cheng Yu left, the old lady and Sun came up to him.

"Yu'er, Yu'er, you are from the Lu family. Now the Lu family is in trouble. Send a message to the Jiangbei Meng family and tell them that the Lu family is in trouble and ask them to help."

Whose family is the Meng family? The old lady’s maiden name is also Sun, not Meng.

“My Lu family has some dealings with the Meng family, just go…”

"Mother, the Meng family you are talking about is the wealthy merchant family in Jiangbei, the Meng family that is as rich as a country..."

The old lady nodded and said, "I hope the Meng family can help our Lu family once because the master helped them in the past."

Cheng Yu looked at Zhao Rulan.

"Madam, I'd better go to the Meng family in Jiangbei. No matter what, if I save the Lu family, I will also save you."

Going to Jiangbei is much closer than going to the border military camp.

"Before you do anything, make sure you are safe. I want you to be fine so that we can be fine."

"I remember, ma'am."

Sun was still clinging to the iron gate and yelling, "Yu'er, you have to save us. Our Lu family has been very kind to you. Go find the prince and the second wife's brother. He is very capable."

Cheng Yu was upset after hearing this, "No matter how much you cry or scream, the prince won't rescue you even if he comes."

Sun didn't dare to say a word.

Cheng Yu was called out by the official. She quickly packed up the lunch box and left. The waiter Zhang was standing outside the door with a worried look on his face.

"Miss Yu'er, how are the madam and the others?"

"Everything is fine. It looks good, but this prison is nothing compared to home." Cheng Yu said.

Zhang Yuanjie asked again hesitantly, "How is Miss Zhu'er? How are the sisters inside?"

Cheng Yu was looking at Zhang Yuanjie.

"Brother Zhang, if you like Zhu'er, maybe you can marry her when you get the chance in the future? I see that Zhu'er has some feelings for you."

Zhang Yuanjie said: "I don't know either. I don't know either."

Before the incident at the Lu family, he went to the Lu family every day to deliver food. He saw that girl always making phone calls to choke him. He ignored her the first few times, but later he started bickering with her, and it became a habit.

Now I can't see her, and I know she is in prison.

Zhang Yuanjie was tormented and worried.

Even if I say I like him, he doesn't understand.

But to say that I don’t like it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Cheng Yu sighed. She didn't have time to think about the emotional tug-of-war between Zhu'er and Zhang Yuanjie. She also had to think of a way to save the lady.

As for the Meng family mentioned by Mrs. Lu.

Cheng Yu didn't know anything about the Meng family. He just heard the eldest lady say something when she was preparing gifts every year: The Meng family in Jiangbei is so wealthy that it can rival a country. The Lu family is already short of money, but they still have to give them gifts, and why give them gifts that they look down upon?

All we know is that the Meng family is a wealthy family in Jiangbei.

As for the other things, not only Cheng Yu didn’t know, but Zhao Rulan might not know either.

But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Cheng Yu wants to give it a try.

It only took her three days to go to Jiangbei and back, but to go to the military camp, it would take her nearly thirty days by driving a horse-drawn carriage.

Cheng Yu plans to go to Jiangbei.
