Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Chapter 130: Conferring a Princess

Royal study room.

Princess Fu'an sat on a wide chair with her tightly bandaged arm, which made her look small, as if she was still the crybaby girl.

Emperor Yingtian's heart softened a little. He whispered, "This must not be the first time Roujia has bullied you. Why didn't you tell father?"

Princess Fu'an's eyes moistened slightly as she whispered, "Xuan'er lost her mother when she was young. She was too young at the time and has no memory of her at all."

"Roujia said that my mother had made a mistake and was banished to the cold palace by my father. My father disliked my mother and made her live in the remote Yilan Palace. My father also dislikes Xuan'er and will not support her."

"Xuan'er knows that father likes Roujia, so Xuan'er dare not say it, for fear that father will hate Xuan'er even more!"

Xuan'er! Emperor Yingtian hadn't heard this name for many years. Fu'an's name was Chu Jinxuan, so Qin'er called Fu'an Xuan'er when she was alive.

Thinking of Empress Yao, Emperor Yingtian felt even more guilty. He said softly, "Xuan'er has endured it all before. Why did you come to me to complain this time? Is it because of Xuan'er's guest? Who is Xuan'er's guest?"

When mentioning Xie Qingli, Princess Fu'an smiled slightly and said softly, "That guest is the one who saved Xuan'er's life when her horse was startled yesterday, Xie Qingli, the eldest daughter of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion."

"If it weren't for her, Xuan'er would have either fallen off the mad carriage and been on the verge of death like Chen Xing, or Liang Yanqi would have succeeded in his scheme, been embraced by him in public, and finally been forced to marry him."

"So Xuan'er is very grateful to Li'er and likes her very much. Xuan'er already regards her as her best friend, so she naturally can't bear to see Roujia humiliating her like that!"

She paused, looked at Emperor Yingtian with a pitiful gaze, and pleaded, "Father, why don't you also give Sister Li'er the title of Princess? That way, she will be of equal status to Roujia, and even if Xuan'er isn't by her side, she won't be bullied by Roujia!"

Emperor Yingtian tapped Princess Fu'an on the head and chuckled, "Xuan'er, do you think being granted the title of Princess is as easy as getting clothes and food?"

The hopeful light in Princess Fu'an's eyes gradually dimmed, and she whispered, "Father, Xuan'er knows she was wrong!"

Emperor Yingtian couldn't bear to look at Princess Fu'an's dim eyes, and said gently, "Father, please think of another way. I will definitely not let Xuan'er's friends be bullied again."

He couldn't help but feel curious. He heard that the daughter Jiang Muxue found was just a village girl. Why did his two children protect her so much?

……

In the slums south of Shengjing City, the houses are dilapidated, the roads are narrow and muddy, and there are all kinds of people living together.

Xie Qingyao was wearing a plain dress, with her hair simply tied up and wearing only two small pearl flowers. She wore a veil on her head to cover her face. She followed Xiaotao hurriedly, looking around vigilantly from time to time.

Early this morning, Aunt Hua left the house with a smile on her face. She must have gone to see her beloved grandson Song Tianbao again! Xie Qingyao took the opportunity to sneak out of the Marquis's Mansion with Xiao Tao.

Xiaotao has now become Xie Qingyao's most trusted maid.

Ever since Xie Qingyao learned about her life experience, she began to be wary of Madam Hua. However, the maids in Yaofang Pavilion were all selected and trained by Madam Hua herself, and Xie Qingyao often beat or scolded Hongshang and others. Hongshang and others must have resentment towards her, so Xie Qingyao was not at ease to entrust those secret matters to them.

Xiaotao had just arrived at Yaofang Pavilion, and Xie Qingyao not only did not beat or scold her, but also often rewarded her, which made Hongshang and others extremely jealous of Xiaotao. They often formed a group to exclude Xiaotao. Xiaotao became increasingly isolated in Yaofang Pavilion and naturally became more dependent on Xie Qingyao.

This morning, Xie Qingyao and Xiaotao hid from Hongshang and others and quietly went to the south of the city to look for Xie Qingrou. The last time Xiaotao left the house to look for Qin Bitong and her daughter, she found that they had settled in the slums in the south of the city and made a living by laundry.

The Third Prince had survived the crisis without a single iota of danger, but the Fourth Prince had already died! Xie Qingyao realized that the Third Prince must have been extremely resourceful to have been able to turn a disaster into a blessing, and that Xie Qingrou's words were most likely true.

The two men finally found the yard where Qin Bitong and her daughter were staying, but they saw a strange man with a fat face standing in the yard, and there was no sign of Qin Bitong and her daughter.

Xiao Tao bravely stepped forward and said, "Hey, big brother, are the mother and daughter who stayed here a few days ago still here?"

The man glanced at Xiao Tao obscenely, grinning lewdly, "Miss, are you asking about that delicate mother and daughter? Come into the house with me, and I'll tell you..."

Xiao Tao turned pale with fear. She took two steps back silently and said in a trembling voice, "No, no need. I won't look for it anymore..."

The man's eyes followed Xiao Tao closely, and as he looked along, he suddenly saw Xie Qingyao standing not far behind Xiao Tao. Although her face was obscured by the curtain, her slender figure and graceful posture showed that she must be a young lady raised in a wealthy family. Looking at her dress, she seemed to have run away secretly.

Sensing danger, Xiao Tao ran out of the yard quickly, grabbed Xie Qingyao and ran on the muddy road.

The man grinned, revealing a mouthful of black and yellow teeth, thinking to himself that he was lucky today. He shouted, "Wait a minute, young lady!" and then quickly chased after her.

Xie Qingyao ran frantically after Xiaotao, her fear reaching its peak. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she secretly resented the injustice God had shown her. She had once lived a stable and affluent life as a young lady, her daily worries centered around how to compose more brilliant poems, create more exquisite embroidery, and match her clothes and jewelry to perfection.

But now, everything has changed beyond recognition. At this moment, she is being chased by such lowly and despicable inferiors, running for her life at a speed she has never run before, like a lamb running in panic!

Xiao Tao was not familiar with the roads here either. The two of them rushed along recklessly, not knowing where to go. When they were about to be caught up by the man, they rushed out of an alley with all their might. Suddenly, the view in front of them opened up and they saw a wide avenue with people walking in groups of three or two.

The two men rushed to the main road quickly. The man poked his head out of the alley, cursed his bad luck, and turned to walk deeper into the alley.

After surviving the disaster, Xiao Tao couldn't help crying with joy. She pulled Xie Qingyao, but Xie Qingyao fell to the ground with a pale face. Xiao Tao squatted down to check and found that Xie Qingyao's right foot was sprained and swollen.

Xiaotao looked up and around, and found that the man in the alley had come back for some reason and was staring at them. She was so scared that tears fell.

Just at this moment, a carriage sped past them, but after a moment, it retreated.

A young man lifted the carriage curtain and asked gently, "Girls, do you need any help?"

Xie Qingyao raised her head slightly, her eyes wide with surprise. The man in the car was actually Han Jun, the imperial physician who had been treating Qin Bitong and her daughter. She was both surprised and delighted. She gently lifted the veil that covered the entrance and called out softly, "Imperial Physician Han, it's you!"

Han Jun couldn't help but be stunned. The woman in front of him was as pale as paper, with tears in her eyes. She looked like a delicate and fragile gardenia, completely different from the bright and flamboyant appearance when they first met at the door of the Marquis' Mansion that day.

Han Jun's heart seemed to be hit, and it was beating wildly...
