It's great, another day of lying down and idling in the palace

The two walked along a small path, and soon they saw a strong woman with a thick waist and a fat belly scolding a two-year-old girl harshly.

"You are such a troublemaker, you are a money-loser girl. What do you want to eat? I told you to cry! And you're still crying!"

He scolded her and then started beating the skinny and dirty little girl ferociously.

The little girl had many bruises on her body, her hair was dry and frizzy, and she curled up her body and only dared to cry quietly, not even daring to hide.

Seeing this scene, Ji Yunqing's face immediately turned dark.

She walked quickly forward to stop him.

"stop!"

When the old woman saw Ji Yunqing, she immediately changed her face to a smiling one, and stepped forward to apologize, "Concubine, why are you here?"

"This place is filthy. If you have any instructions, just let me know."

The fat, sweaty body kept moving closer to Ji Yunqing, and it made people dizzy when they got too close.

Ji Yunqing pointed to a place three meters away with disgust and ordered her to stand there and not move.

Then he walked towards the little girl, wondering as he walked: "Do we need to hire such a young maid in our mansion? What can she do?" Was King Zhao probably crazy?

Concubine Jian reminded quietly: "Concubine, this is not a maid in the mansion, this is the third lady, the daughter of Concubine Li"

Concubine Li’s daughter…?

Ji Yunqing was surprised. She carefully distinguished the eyebrows and eyes, and then she found a hint of familiarity in the thin face with dirt and tear marks.

This child is really the daughter of Concubine Li!

"Miss San? Is it really you?"

"Why are you here? You..."

She reached out to pull the little girl, but saw the little girl's small body tremble suddenly.

The fear is visible to the naked eye.

Ji Yunqing frowned unconsciously, and his tone became gentler: "Don't you recognize me? At that time, I played the piano at the gate of your yard all day long."

She was talking about the time when she was painting on Concubine Li's wall and playing the piano.

But it has been so long, Ji Yunqing guessed that the girl might have forgotten it a long time ago.

Thinking of this, Ji Yunqing comforted her a few more times, but to little effect.

Just when Concubine Jian was worried that Ji Yunqing would get impatient, she simply picked up the thin girl and said directly, "Let's go."

Then he looked at the stinky old woman and said, "Take her with you too."

Seeing this, Concubine Jian felt relieved.

Ever since Concubine Li left, the Third Young Miss became an orphan. She knew that this old woman often beat the Third Young Miss secretly here, but she had no influence and was completely powerless.

So he deliberately took the opportunity to let Concubine Ji witness this scene.

The little girl struggled timidly at first, but after Ji Yunqing said "Don't move", she stopped struggling.

Ji Yunqing walked straight to the main courtyard.

When the maid guarding the gate saw this, she hurried to inform Madam Lou.

Nanny Lou wondered why the concubine went and came back this season.

When he came out, he saw Concubine Ji holding a child who looked as small as a beggar in her arms, and the maid Jian was following behind her with her head lowered and her face submissive.

And the fat old woman who was dragged over by several maids.

Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that someone was bullying Concubine Jian, and even bullying the Fourth Young Miss?

How else to explain this scene?

She went forward and said, "Concubine Ji, what are you doing..."

Ji Yunqing put the child down.

"Tell someone to take her to wash up"

When the child was carried down by the maid in the main courtyard to wash, Ji Yunqing sat at the head of the table with a serious face, "Madame Lou, please stand aside and listen to what is going on!"

She first asked someone to drag the old woman away.

Then he looked at Concubine Jian and said, "You speak first."

Concubine Jian pinched the handkerchief in her hand and then spoke slowly.

After the eldest son became the son of Prince Lie and was taken away by people from Prince Lie's palace, Concubine Li became depressed and died not long after.

Ji Yunqing widened his eyes: "…When did this happen?" How come she didn't know?

“This is all in March.”

It is autumn now.

Finally, only this tiny little girl was left.

The prince was busy this year and the princess was not in good spirits, so none of the servants dared to disturb the princess with such a trivial matter.

There is no benefit in helping this little girl, and the real bad thing would be to bring bad luck to the princess.

So now there is only a wet nurse taking care of the child.

The wet nurse is the fat woman.

Ji Yunqing fell silent.

She looked at Concubine Jian and said, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest first."

Concubine Jian was worried: "Then the third young lady..."

She really couldn't bear it. After all, the third and fourth young ladies were born in almost the same year and month. Looking at a child who was the same age as her daughter, she felt distressed.

Only then did he muster up the courage to lead Concubine Ji over.

Ji Yunqing said: "Don't worry, I'm here."

After Concubine Jian left, Ji Yunqing looked at Madam Lou and said, "Go check this matter - forget it.

Go and lock that woman up temporarily. Oh, there is another woman who stole money from the mansion. I happened to see her. She is locked up in an empty yard now. Concubine Jian’s maid knows where she is. Find a place to lock her up temporarily as well.”

"I will talk to the princess about these things later, and we will solve them when they are free."

Nanny Lou thought that since the concubine dared to order her around this season, she would not be afraid that she would mess up.

But Ji Yunqing continued, "I will tell the prince and princess. If you don't do what I ask you to do, what will the prince and princess think of you?"

"Will the princess think you are stupid? Can't you do anything right? Or will the prince think you are old and useless, and considerately replace you with a more useful servant?"

"Anyway, I am so eager to help the prince and princess in this matter. If the news of abusing concubines and concubines gets out,

Others will never say that it was done by a concubine like me who doesn’t care about things. If that happens, it will be the princess who will be blamed for it.”

Ji Yunqing stared at Madam Lou, smiling: "Madam, you don't want the princess to be maliciously slandered, right?"

Nanny Lou's expression became serious; she was under a lot of pressure.

After Ji Yunqing gave Nanny Lou some "instructions", he took the little girl back home to take care of her for a few days.

This incident happened the day before, and Ji Yunqing spent the following time walking around the mansion when he had nothing to do.

On the third day, an old steward who tried to take advantage of the chaos to force the young maid was caught. He was first beaten with twenty boards and then dragged out to carry manure.

On the fifth day, she met an old woman who was extorting money from a young maid. She was beaten with twenty boards and then dragged out to carry manure.

In short, as long as it does not involve the masters of the mansion, they will all be beaten with a stick and then taken out to carry manure.

After several examples, the mansion gradually calmed down and returned to its previous peace.

On the tenth day, the new emperor, who had finished his work in the previous dynasty, finally remembered the people in the palace and issued an edict to summon all the people from various courtyards of Prince Zhao's palace to the palace.
