After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven
Chapter 36 Enemies meet (2)
Meihong felt puzzled, and then she thought of what the maids had said along the way. A slight smile appeared on her lips, and the dimple on her right cheek was particularly distinct.
Yu Qingli's eyes turned cold. This dimple was exactly the same as the one she saw on the concubine in the cold palace that day!
"Miss, you heard those words too. You think they're funny, right?"
Seeing that Yu Qingli didn't say anything, Mei Hong continued, "Who is this eldest prince? He is the eldest son of His Majesty. Although he has been deposed, he is still a member of the royal family. How could he possibly be interested in these little girls?" Then she glanced at Yu Qingli and saw that she didn't seem to have any intention of blaming her, so she continued, "Even if he wants to marry, the young lady is probably older."
Yu Qingli lowered her eyebrows and remained silent for a long time. Her face showed neither sadness nor joy, which made Mei Hong a little confused.
"Why do you suddenly think of asking this, Miss?"
Yu Qingli glanced at Mei Hong and said, "Oh, I just heard what you said just now and wanted to hear your opinion. Maybe you also..."
Mei Hong quickly waved her hands and said sternly, "How is that possible? I have followed the young lady since I was young, and I have long thought of following her for the rest of my life. Besides, how could I be the kind of person who doesn't know the importance of things?"
Looking at Mei Hong's serious face, Yu Qingli felt like laughing for some reason. Her appearance was extremely similar to Yu Zhengsha's hypocritical face. In comparison, she looked more like Yu Zhengsha's daughter.
Seeing Yu Qingli's half-smile, Mei Hong hurriedly continued: "Miss, don't you believe it? But Mei Hong is sincere. This servant is willing to serve you and accompany you for the rest of your life."
Thinking of the changes in Mei Hong in the previous life, Yu Qingli sneered. She was indeed loyal and had been by her side, but this companionship had gradually changed its meaning and turned into a replacement. How ridiculous!
Mei Hong's heart was pounding. She felt as if the young lady had some inexplicable feeling towards her, which made her feel scared and distressed, but she didn't know why. What had she done to displease the young lady?
Yu Qingli's expression was dull as she softly instructed, "Wash up and change clothes."
Mei Hong hurried forward, prepared the clothes to be changed, stood respectfully aside, holding the water for washing, with her eyes lowered, and her eyes under her long eyelashes quietly looked at her toes, not daring to overstep the line.
Yu Qingli glanced at the plain silk skirt on the table, and admired the maid's keen observation and cleverness. She could understand people's thoughts so thoroughly. No wonder she was no match for her in her previous life.
After getting dressed, Yu Qingli sat in front of the mirror and said, "Meihong, help me comb my hair."
Mei Hong's hands were very skillful. After a few moments, she had combed the slightly messy hair meticulously, leaving a few small braids on both sides of the dignified yet lively bun to show that Yu Qingli was waiting to be married. A simple jade hairpin added a bit of elegance and grandeur to the bun.
Yu Qingli looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, as well as Mei Hong who was obviously a little restrained behind her. She felt something in her heart. Could it be that her attitude made her wary?
Her red lips parted slightly, and her eyes and eyebrows also smiled. "Meihong, you have a clever hand. Look, it's really beautiful!"
Looking at the smile in Yu Qingli's eyes and eyebrows, Mei Hong felt more and more strange, but also obviously relaxed a little. Such gentleness belonged to a young lady. The previous indifference might just be because of the death of the lady.
Thinking of this, the dimples on Meihong's face reappeared, and she looked extremely charming. "Thank you for the compliment, Miss. It's mainly because you are naturally beautiful. Otherwise, no matter how skillful my hands are, I can't cook without rice, right?"
Listening to Mei Hong's strange words, the curve of Yu Qingli's lips became deeper, and her eyes became colder. Could it be that this is how she attracted Murong Feng's attention back then?
After breakfast, Yu Qingli and Mei Hong went to the mourning hall together. Because Li had already been buried, there was only a memorial tablet in the hall. At this time, Jiang Bai was kneeling upright beside the tablet.
Yu Qingli's eyes narrowed. Jiang Bai, was he fulfilling his promise? Was it his own will or his father's? However, it didn't seem to make any difference.
Kneel until I die! It seems like there's still more than a month left! If I really kneel until then, I'm afraid my legs will be useless.
However, she was really looking forward to it.
Seeing Yu Qingli coming, Jiang Bai's expression didn't change at all, as if everything he did now was so natural and necessary. He had no complaints, no dissatisfaction, and no anger at all.
Yu Qingli didn't even look at Jiang Bai, and walked straight past him to burn incense to Li. Mei Hong behind him looked at Jiang Bai with a complicated expression, not sure if it was pity or something else.
The wind suddenly blew, and the candlelight in the mourning hall swayed, but soon returned to calm. Yu Qingli turned her head and saw Yu Zhengsha, wearing a dark blue brocade robe, with a dignified and noble look on his face.
He glanced at Jiang Bai, but his expression remained unchanged. He took three or two steps forward, picked up the sandalwood, lit it, bowed, and knelt down, all in one smooth movement.
Yu Qingli couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Maybe it was because she was used to pretending to be a gentleman, and all this seemed to be branded in her bones and blood. However, she was surprisingly clear about her father's intentions.
So she waited, waiting to see how her always proud father would speak and plead for his right-hand man.
"Yesterday I received a letter saying that the eldest prince has crossed the Wen River and will arrive tomorrow."
Yu Zhengsha did not speak directly, but talked about other things. Yu Qingli did not ask either, but just stood there with her hands bare, waiting for his next words.
Yu Zhengsha's eyes seemed to sweep over Jiang Bai unintentionally, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident. Seeing Yu Qingli's indifferent attitude, his eyes couldn't help but turn cold.
"Children and relatives should be kneeling before the mourning hall. What would the Crown Prince think if he were to see such an incongruous scene?"
Finally, she said it out loud. Yu Qingli sneered. It seemed that Jiang Bai held a very high status in her father's mind. This made Yu Qingli suspicious. If this person didn't know many things about her father, how could her father, who never gave his true heart to others easily, protect a servant so much?
It seems that if I want to know the real cause of my mother's death, I have to start with Jiang Bai.
Yu Qingli's brows were cold, but she still didn't speak, until Yu Zhengsha raised her voice slightly, "Yu Qingli!"
This slightly reminding and intimidating voice finally made Yu Qingli speak, "Yes, father will handle it himself."
Yu Zhengsha was finally a little satisfied, although he was still unhappy in his heart. When did this gentle and weak daughter become so patient and resilient?
No matter what, everything finally went according to his plan, but he didn't dare to be too careless. After all, Yu Qingli today is completely different from the one before Li's death.
Yu Zhengsha felt a little regretful in his heart. Perhaps he shouldn't have killed Li so early, or perhaps he should have a better way to deal with this matter. Although his previous daughter could not make him feel proud, she was much better than the daughter in front of him who always wanted to hinder him.
Yu Zhengsha even felt that he had made a wrong decision. It seemed that he had awakened a little wolf!
Yu Zhengsha personally stepped forward and helped Jiang Bai up, "Alright, Butler Jiang, Qingli has let you go."
Jiang Bai quickly stepped forward and saluted Yu Qingli, "Thank you, Miss!"
Yu Qingli said coldly: "It was my father who released you. It has nothing to do with me."
"Without the young lady's approval, this old servant will definitely not get up." Jiang Bai said seriously, but Yu Qingli scoffed at this. Her father didn't care about her opinion so much, let alone a housekeeper who was nothing? Stop joking!
At this moment, a carriage sped past on the street and hurried towards the Yu Mansion. The dust raised along the way showed how anxious the people in the carriage were.
"Master, I have already inquired about it. It is said that a fire broke out in the Yu Mansion a while ago, burning down the original Yu Mansion. Later, Prime Minister Yu bought a new courtyard in the west of the city. It is located west of this street, not far from the government office."
On the carriage, a tall middle-aged man with a dark red face was driving and explaining to the people in the carriage.
"How long until we arrive?"
The gentle voice is like the warm spring breeze, which can almost melt people's hearts. Although you can't see the appearance of the people in the car, just listening to the voice is enough to make people intoxicated.
"My Lord, at our current speed, we should be there in less than half an hour."
"it is good!"
After a brief conversation, only the sound of the rutted wheels gradually faded away.
Half an hour later, a carriage stopped at the gate of Yu Mansion. The middle-aged man driving the carriage jumped out and arrived at the gate of Yu Mansion in three or two steps.
Before the guard at the door could come forward to inquire, the man politely said, "Excuse me, the eldest prince has come to pay his respects to your late wife, Mrs. Li."
Yu Zhengsha had already made arrangements, and now that he knew the identity of the visitor, the guard at the door quickly went in to report. Not long after, the door to the Yu Mansion opened wide, and Yu Zhengsha walked out respectfully with Jiang Bai and a group of servants.
"This old minister respectfully welcomes the Crown Prince..."
After the formal greetings, a pair of white hands stretched out from the curtain of the carriage. The long and slender fingers had distinct joints, and even the nails were neatly trimmed. It was obvious that this was an extremely particular man. On his jade-like transparent hands, he only wore a jade ring, which was simple yet noble.
A gentle voice came from the car, "Prime Minister, you are polite, please get up quickly."
The sound is like the trickling stream in the valley or the melodious singing of the yellow oriole on the mountain. Not to mention women, even men would be moved when they hear such a gentle sound.
After hearing such a voice, all the servants in the Yu Mansion were secretly wondering what kind of outstanding man had gotten off the car to be worthy of such a voice.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a man walked out. Everyone in the Yu Mansion couldn't help but be dazzled. He was truly a handsome man. Not to mention his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, the facial features were obviously the same, but in this man, they were surprisingly well integrated, giving people a feeling of beautiful jade. The saying "a gentleman is as gentle as jade" should be referring to such a person, right?
The maids in the Yu Mansion could not suppress the enthusiasm and excitement in their eyes. Even Mei Hong, who had been so confident in front of Yu Qingli before, had a few more complicated emotions in her eyes.
As expected, lust is the most harmful thing! No matter if it’s about men or women.
