After her fate was taken away, she was favored by her five brothers.
Chapter 331 Meeting Hualien
Qingbei stepped forward and said, "Madam, you are really forgetful. The last time we met in the capital, it's only been more than half a year, have you forgotten?"
Mei's mother looked at him suspiciously: "Who are you?"
"The day when Master Yun and Miss Mei got engaged."
Mother Mei looked at Qingbei and Qi Junye for a moment, and suddenly thought of the young man who helped them that day.
At that time, because Mei's mother's health had not yet recovered, Uncle Mei came to make trouble. She used up all her strength to drive him away and could only lie down and relax.
I didn't see the boy's appearance clearly.
After Qingbei's reminder, she finally remembered.
I didn't expect that they also came to Shiqiao Town.
"Thank you for your help that day. You two are here to make clothes, right? Please go upstairs. Several pieces of good material have arrived in the past two days. If you like any of them, please put them on my account."
Mei's mother also knew that with the two men's temperament, if they were to make clothes, they would definitely use high-quality fabrics.
The most expensive clothes in the shop cost several hundred taels of silver each, and she really couldn't afford them.
But she still had to say something to save face. Moreover, since these two people were able to drive away the people from the general's mansion, their identities must be extraordinary.
If I could exchange two sets of clothes for their protection of the Mei and Yun families in the future, it would be worth it.
"It was just a small favor last time. Madam, you don't have to be polite. We came here today to meet Madam Yun."
Qi Junye directly stated his purpose.
Mei's mother glanced at Qi Junye, feeling somewhat puzzled as to what they were looking for Hua Li for.
The reason why Hua Li was not in the shop was because she did not want those people in the capital to know that the shop was opened by her. How did this person know?
She also thought about how when her two children were getting engaged, her son-in-law seemed to be familiar with the young master, and he also helped them.
After confirming that Qi Junye was not here to cause trouble for Liu, he said:
"She's in the cubicle, just follow me."
Qi Junye followed Mei's mother into the compartment, where Liu was doing embroidery.
Liu came to the shop today to get work.
Most of the clothes in the shop are not embroidered, only a small number of them are embroidered, and some customers request embroidery.
But clothes with embroidery would be much more expensive, so only those high-quality fabrics that were custom-made by noble ladies would require embroidery.
At present, the seamstresses in the shop can only do simple embroidery. Those complicated patterns need to be embroidered by Liu and Mei's mother themselves.
Liu originally wanted to take the clothes and leave, but Mei's mother had a job that she could not embroider well, so she wanted Liu to help her finish it before leaving.
Because today was the day when customers came to pick up clothes, Liu had no choice but to stay in the shop and finish embroidering before leaving.
When Mei's mother came in, she heard the noise but did not stop the work in her hands.
"A guest is here to pick up clothes? It will be ready soon. Let them wait a moment."
Mei's mother said, "Don't worry, the guest who came to get the clothes hasn't come yet, but these two young masters are looking for you."
"Who's looking for me?"
Liu turned around and glanced at Qi Junye and Qingbei, but she didn't recognize them. "What do you want from me?"
Liu had certainly never met Qi Junye in Shiqiao Town.
Qi Junye helped the Yun family several times, and Liu was not present.
But she didn't think about Prince Chen. She also knew that Prince Chen was in Shiqiao Town last year, and later she heard that he had returned to Beijing.
Not long after, news spread in the capital that the Seventh Prince had been found. She was relieved at the time. She didn't want to take the risk of letting Xiaowu return to the capital before he grew up and became fully grown.
Qi Junye asked, "Madam Yun, don't you remember me?"
Liu was puzzled and shook her head.
"Mrs. Mei, I want to talk to Mrs. Yun alone."
Mother Mei said, "Okay, okay, you guys chat, I'll go get busy first."
Qingbei closed the door and stood guard outside.
"Sister Huali, I'm Xiaojiu."
Liu (Hua Li) opened her eyes wide and looked at Prince Chen, her eyes filled with shock: "You...you are Prince Chen?"
Liu could never have imagined that Prince Chen could recognize her.
After Liu married Yun Zhengqing, she rarely returned to the Su Mansion.
And since Su Wan was in the palace, the two of them met even less frequently.
Sometimes when Empress Su missed Hua Li, she would summon her.
She remembered the last time she saw Prince Chen, which was probably when he was four years old. He was very clingy to Sister Wan, and the two of them looked more like mother and son than uncle and sister-in-law.
At that time, whenever he saw me, he would always call me, "Sister Huali."
The moment Liu knew that he was Prince Chen, she felt very complicated.
This seemed to bring back memories of the past: her eldest sister Su Wan suffered hemorrhage after giving birth, her father Su Zhongxing was beheaded after returning victorious, her mother Hua's hair turned white overnight, the Su family was ransacked, and all male members over the age of three in the family were exiled.
Fortunately, the current emperor still has some humanity. Considering the military achievements made by the Su family for generations, he pardoned the women of the Su family from becoming official prostitutes and only demoted them to civilians.
She hated everyone in the royal family, including Qi Junye.
But she also knew her current situation. She wanted to hate, but she couldn't, and she was powerless.
If she acted impulsively, not only herself, but also her husband, children, and the Su family would be implicated.
"You have worked so hard to raise our nephew over the years."
Liu remained calm and said, "What nephew? I don't know."
In fact, he was extremely nervous inside, as how could the Prince know that he had taken the Seventh Prince away.
