Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Qing Zhi pondered secretly, and quickened her pace to return to Qingfeng Pavilion. The maids behind her had to run to keep up with her pace. When they arrived at Qingfeng Pavilion, Qing Zhi turned around and wanted to let the others disperse first. Seeing that several maids were panting, she became even more angry: "Why are you so out of breath after going out with me to deliver something? People who don't know would think I bullied you!" One of the maids wanted to speak out to retort, but the maid next to her pulled her sleeve, and the maid had to give up. Qing Zhi saw that they were also very tired, so she said: "Okay, go down and rest for a while. Rest for a while and then go to work, otherwise you still expect me to do all the work alone?" After that, she went to Qin Ruyi's house. The maid who was pulled just now angrily yelled at the maid who pulled her: "Why did you pull me just now?" Another maid patted her on the back: "Didn't you see that Sister Qingzhi was left out for a long time in Banmengxuan just now? It won't hurt you to let her say a few words!" The maid who was pulled could only accept her fate. After all, they were just cleaning maids.

Inside, Qin Ruyi was reading the account book and writing notes on the desk, while Qingyu was grinding ink beside her. Qin Ruyi didn't even look up, only asking, "Did it arrive?" Qingzhi said with a trembling voice that was a little aggrieved, "It arrived..." Upon hearing this, they both looked up at Qingzhi. Qin Ruyi asked, "What's wrong? Who wronged our Qingzhi?" Qingzhi thought about being left out just now, and said with a tearful voice, "Nothing, I just went to deliver something, and Sister Sijian was busy taking care of the princess, and Shijian went to find Xunfeng, so they left me waiting in the front hall for a while."

When Qin Ruyi heard that Shi Jian went to find Xun Feng, and Si Jian left Qing Zhi out because he was taking care of Dugu Jingyao, her first reaction was that maybe they had noticed it, so they deliberately left Qing Zhi out to warn her. When Qing Zhi saw that Qin Ruyi had no intention of helping her vent her anger, she felt even more aggrieved and began to wipe her tears. Qingyu hurriedly said: "Sister Qingzhi, don't cry!" Qin Ruyi also came back to her senses, but was upset: "Why are you crying? Princess Yi'an just fainted and still needs someone to take care of her. It's not uncommon for Banmengxuan to be too busy. How come she is so spoiled by me now that she can't stand any grievances?" Qing Zhi was stunned by what Qin Ruyi said. How could this be different from what she thought? Even if Qin Liangdi didn't help her vent her anger, she should at least comfort herself, right? Qing Zhi had no choice but to kneel down and admit her mistake, saying that she didn't dare. Qin Ruyi knew she was a little anxious, so she said, "Wait, Qingzhi, I have a pearl hairpin in my storeroom, you can take it and wear it." Qingzhi felt a little happier when she heard it, and she and Qingyu retreated together. Qin Ruyi was so nervous that she didn't even eat much and didn't sleep well at night.

A day passed like this, and the next day Shi Jian came to report: "Princess, we found out that Qin Liangdi has not met with anyone from outside the mansion in the past two months. The only time she received your cousin's mother was when you just woke up. Also, I heard from Xunfeng that there were anonymous letters sent to Qin Liangdi for a period of time, but the specific content is unknown." Dugu Jingyao fell into thought after hearing this: Could this matter be related to his second uncle's family? Shi Jian went on, "Oh, Princess. There is indeed a problem with Qin Liangdi's family home that you asked me to investigate. I went back according to the original address and found that all the furnishings in the house were there, but it seemed like no one had lived there for a long time. I also found traces of incense by the window." Dugu Jingyao suddenly realized, "It seems that this matter is inseparable from Qin Ruyi. If I'm not mistaken, it's because the lives of her family members are in the hands of others, so she has to work for others. But that's okay, Si Jian, you go and find out who kidnapped Qin Ruyi's family. If you can find their hiding place, that would be even better. Don't reveal your identity and rescue them." Dugu Jingyao thought to herself: If she was really threatened, then I can still forgive her. If she privately feels that I have taken her daughter's place, then she deserves to be killed!
