The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

Linghua's face was pale and she dragged her weak body into the Song Mansion. As soon as she saw Song Xiwan, she knelt down crying.

"Please, Princess, save my brother..."

There it is again.

Song Xiwan knew at a glance that she must be injured, so he immediately asked the servant to prepare a chair and tea, and then let Linghua slowly tell him what happened.

Linghua apologized first, "I didn't want to disturb the princess at this time, but Madam insisted that I instigated the young lady to do this."

She was also beaten with a stick. Her three-year-old brother was so scared that he kept crying. He was already in poor health, and the lady said that her brother was a burden and wanted to sell him to a human trafficker.

No matter how Linghua begged for mercy, it was useless, so she had no choice but to ask the princess for help.

She kowtowed repeatedly, "Please, Princess, as long as my sister and I can be safe, I will do anything."

Seeing that her forehead was broken, Song Xiwan quickly stopped her.

"You get up first, there's no need for this."

Linghua cried so hard that she was completely exhausted and had to rely on the servant to support her to sit still.

Song Xiwan pressed for details, "Did my aunt do this alone? No one else tried to stop it?"

Linghua smiled bitterly, "Who would care about the life of a vulgar maid like me? The Xu family is currently busy with the young lady's affairs, and the mistress and the master quarrel every day."

She and her brother became the targets of venting anger.

Song Xiwan's face darkened. "At this critical moment, your aunt is still acting this way. Where is your brother now?"

Linghua knew that the princess was willing to help her, and she cried uncontrollably.

"He was sent to the human traffickers. I couldn't stop him."

Song Xiwan immediately had Linghua brought to her brother and gave her a bottle of ointment. "Apply it to the painful area. It will temporarily relieve the pain."

Linghua clenched the medicine bottle in her hand and nodded vigorously.

"Thank you, Princess."

From now on, her life will belong to the princess!

Mu Yun personally led people to find the human trafficker. After thinking about it, Song Xiwan decided not to go to the Xu family immediately, so as not to worry her mother.

She simply asked Qiu Zhu to pass on the message, "Tell Grandmother that I will visit her tomorrow."

"it is good."

Qiu Zhu went to do it without stopping.

When the Xu family received the news, their faces looked strange.

They had anticipated this day would come, but when they learned it so suddenly, the Xu family members were all worried, especially Xu Xiaoyong and his wife.

They have been unable to sleep or eat these days. On the one hand, they are worried about Miaoyi's condition, and on the other hand, they are not sure how Xiwan plans to solve this problem.

Just then, Old Madam Xu called Xu Xiaoyong and his wife over.

As Qiu Zhu left, Madam Xu swept a sharp gaze over the two people in front of her and asked with authority, "You heard what Qiu Zhu said just now. What do you think?"

Xu Xiaoyong and Lan's hearts skipped a beat.

What else can you think of this?

Xu Xiaoyong was the first to speak, saying in a deep voice, "Everything is subject to mother's decision."

"boom--"

Madam Xu slammed the table and glared at him. "You're leaving it to me, your mother, to make the final decision now. How do you usually discipline your daughter?"

Xu Xiaoyong and Lan were always afraid of their mother getting angry, so they knelt down and admitted their mistakes.

"Mom, please don't get angry and get yourself hurt. This is all my fault. If you want to punish me, I'll accept it!"

Madam Xu was so angry that she couldn't even let go. She asked coldly, "Do you know that what she did this time will destroy the reputation that the Xu family has built up over three generations? What's the point of beating you and punishing you?"

Xu Xiaoyong lowered his head even lower, without saying a word in rebuttal.

Of course he knew.

Madam Xu knew that it was pointless to get angry, so she said in a graver tone, "Things have already become like this. There's no point in arguing about who is responsible. When Xiwan comes tomorrow, we must discuss this matter."

The room became quiet for a moment.

Xu Xiaoyong and Lan were both waiting for their mother's opinion on how to deal with Miaoyi.

After a while, Madam Xu continued, "Let's follow Xiwan's wishes."

I don’t know what Xi Wan’s plan is yet, but I’ll do as she says tomorrow.

Lan's strength was suddenly drained away, and she collapsed to the ground, mumbling, "Mother, Miaoyi is the eldest daughter of our Xu family. You've watched her grow up over the years..."

"enough!"

Old Madam Xu shouted angrily, stopping Lan from continuing.

Her eyes were filled with coldness. "If you hadn't neglected her, how could she have done such a thing? If this incident implicates the Xu family, you can't escape responsibility."

This left the Lan family speechless.

No matter how she is dealt with, Mrs. Xu will never be able to hold her head up high in the future.

……

The next day.

Song Xiwan brought Linghua to Xu's house.

Go all the way into the front hall.

The Xu family and others were all there, their faces a little stiff, probably because they felt guilty.

"See Princess."

Everyone salutes.

Song Xiwan stepped forward to support Old Madam Xu, "Grandma, there's no need to do this. Xiwan can't accept this courtesy."

Seeing Xi Wan's usual respect, Old Madam Xu felt relieved but also guilty.

What a good child!

When Lan saw Linghua, the fat on his face trembled.

"Why are you here?"

Madam Xu looked over when she heard the voice, her brows furrowed slightly, "Are you Miaoyi's maid?"

Linghua stepped forward and saluted, "Yes, old lady."

Madam Xu had not expected such a situation. She looked at Song Xiwan gently, "What's going on? Why did Miaoyi's maid come with you?"

Song Xiwan helped the old lady sit down and stared at Lan calmly.

"I have to ask my aunt why she took out all her anger on a maid. Do you think her cousin did nothing wrong?"

Lan almost fainted.

This damn girl actually dared to go to Song Xiwan to complain!

"boom--"

Old Madam Xu was so angry that she slammed the table again. In the past two days, she was really dizzy because of her son's family.

Her voice was trembling. "You, what a stupid thing you did!"

Lan's legs softened, and she knelt down to deny it. "Mother, I'm definitely not venting my anger. It was this maid who instigated the master to do this, so I drove her away."

Song Xiwan smiled faintly, without any emotion on her face.

Linghua thought about it all night and realized that she couldn't rely solely on the princess to seek justice for her. She had to do it herself.

"What Madam said is pure slander. It was the young lady who forced me to drug the prince and princess that day. If I didn't agree, she would sell my brother out. I had no choice but to seek the princess's protection."

Every word and sentence is clear and well-organized.

Lan was so shocked that she forgot to refute. She didn't expect this girl to be so good at talking!

Madam Xu cursed, "Evil creature!"

I don’t know if he was talking about Xu Miaoyi or the Lan family, but the Lan family was pretty scared.

Song Xiwan hurriedly tried to calm the old lady down, "Grandma, calm down. I'm only here to resolve this matter properly. Mother doesn't want to see you getting sick from this."

Old Madam Xu felt even more ashamed!
