The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Zhou Shiyue didn't care that they were barbarians, so Bai Hui and Aunt Yao felt relieved.

"As for her..." Zhou Shiyue's gaze fell lightly on Shui Xin.

Shui Xin's heart suddenly began to tighten.

At the same time, a surge of anticipation emerged.

Zhou Shiyue quickly looked away and looked at Lu Zhaoling.

"A Ling, what do you think we should do?"

Lu Zhaoling glanced at him.

"Bai Shuixin didn't do what she wanted to do; she was being manipulated." This requires truthfulness. "I already dealt with the alien spirit in her last night. She'll be a little weaker, so she needs to rest well. Going to the Royal Villa again won't work."

Aunt Yao understood what she meant and looked up at her in surprise.

She originally thought that Lu Zhaoling would be disgusted by what Shui Xin did. Although it was not Shui Xin's original intention, it concerned the prince. As the future Princess of Jin, it was normal for Lu Zhaoling to hold on to it or dislike Shui Xin.

"Aunt Yao was your mother's former friend after all, so there's some affection between us."

Lu Zhaoling added, "So, I think we should free her from slavery and let her go home."

"But until the relationship between the Bai family and the barbarians is clarified, they cannot leave the capital for the time being."

After hearing what Lu Zhaoling said, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

He is now very satisfied with Lu Zhaoling in every way.

So grand.

Master Ling is indeed not a petty person.

He also looked at Shui Xin, hoping that these people could cherish Master Ling's kindness and tolerance, and not seek death.

Zhou Shiyue actually guessed that Lu Zhaoling would let Bai Shuixin go.

Ultimately, this matter was directed at him.

The people behind this were trying to deal with him.

"Since my A Ling is kind-hearted, then let it be."

Zhou Shiyue said to Yun Bo, "Yun Bo will go and get their indentures back later so that they can be restored to civilian status."

Yun Bo responded.

Aunt Yao and Bai Hui kowtowed repeatedly in surprise.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"Thank you Miss Lu!"

Xiaoqin was also very surprised and kowtowed quickly.

I foolishly sold myself into slavery. Although I had no choice, I still regret it when I think about it occasionally late at night.

But they had to pay a high price to enter the royal villa, and it was also difficult to redeem their indentures. They had saved for several years but had not saved much money.

Now that things have turned around, she is truly grateful.

Zhou Shiyue's gaze fell on her again. Xiaoqin froze, and her heart sank again as she thought of her parents.

"Your father's case isn't serious. He's been coaxed and deceived by your mother all these years. Plus, he..." Zhou Shiyue thought of the white-clothed male ghost on Xiao Qinniang's body, and his mouth twitched. "It's pretty miserable too. I'll spare him and only give him ten strokes of the cane to teach him a lesson."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy." Xiao Qin kowtowed again.

"But I don't want to forgive your mother." Zhou Shiyue said lightly again.

Early this morning, he had sent someone to call Chen Deshan.

Chen Deshan will come and take the couple away soon. They should be beaten and imprisoned.

Xiaoqin's eyes were red, but she had heard the whole thing last night. She thought that her parents could not escape. Now her father only gave her ten strokes of the cane, which was already very good.

Since she was a child, her father loved her more.

Her mother always went back to her parents' home and treated her uncle better than her biological daughter. She became a maid, and every time her mother came to see her, it was just to ask her for money, and the money she took was given to her uncle.

Xiaoqin always believed that if she encountered any difficulties, her mother would sell her to help her uncle.

So, she had been disappointed with her mother for a long time.

"I dare not plead for my mother, I just want to ask Your Majesty," Xiao Qin took a deep breath and said, "Will she die?"

Although Xiaoqin was disappointed with her mother, she didn't want her to die.

Zhou Shiyue paused, "She will be exiled with a group of criminals. I will not kill her, but after exile, her life or death will be up to her."

Xiao Qin trembled a bit, but still bent down, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Aunt Yao hated her sister-in-law, and she didn't say anything about her sister-in-law's current fate.

Just when the matter had come to an end, Shui Xin took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak.

"Your Highness, since we cannot leave the capital yet, can I stay with Madam Qing for the next few days? I want to atone for my sins and work hard for the palace with Madam Qing."

"Xinxin?" Aunt Yao was stunned for a moment.

Although she had thought about letting Shui Xin stay in the Prince Jin's Mansion before, that was based on the premise that Shui Xin was still a slave. Since she was going to be a maid, it would naturally be best if she could work in the Prince Jin's Mansion!

But now the result is much better than she expected!

Now the prince has freed them from slavery!

Since I am no longer a slave, how can I continue to work in the Prince of Jin's mansion? This is inappropriate!

Xiaoqin was also a little surprised and looked up at her cousin.

"You don't have to be a slave anymore and you don't have to stay in the palace." Zhou Shiyue said.

"I learned a lot in the Royal Courtyard, and the tea I brewed has been praised by many distinguished guests."

Shui Xin gritted her teeth and refused to back down.

"And I can also make soothing soups and various nourishing teas. I can also read and have read many books before. I know a lot about local customs and interesting stories. If Your Majesty and Miss Lu are free, I can tell you some anecdotes to cheer you up."

Someone like her, if placed in a wealthy family, would be qualified to be the mistress's first-class maid.

It's just that she didn't want to before.

"Shui Xin, what do you want to do?" Aunt Yao pulled her sleeve, lowered her voice, and called out anxiously.

That doesn't sound right.

"I can also play the pipa and sing some decent little songs." Shui Xin ignored her and looked at Lu Zhaoling again, saying sincerely, "Miss Lu, I have also learned a set of massage techniques. If you feel tired, I can help you relax."

Lu Zhaoling raised her eyebrows and looked at her meaningfully.

Shui Xin was very beautiful at this moment, with a determined light in her eyes.

It's the kind of determination that makes you want to risk everything to fight for your own future.

Qingyin and Qingbao looked at each other and frowned.

But they also knew that it was not their turn to speak in this situation.

The emperor also sat up straight and looked at Shui Xin with a frown.

He is not a young boy, so he can understand Shui Xin's intention.

I'm afraid this girl has developed some ideas.

He looked at Zhou Shiyue and cursed angrily, "You stinky boy, this rotten face of yours will only cause trouble!"

Zhou Shiyue: “…”

No, are you going to scold him for this?

If he didn't have this face, Aling would definitely look down on him.

But he only wanted to seduce Lu Zhaoling with this face, and didn't want to seduce more than one.

Lu Zhaoling also looked at him, and when she heard the words of the emperor, she smiled.

"Do you want to stay in the palace?" Zhou Shiyue asked in an ambiguous tone.
