Chapter 466; Goodbye Xu Qingqing

The materials sent by King Jin were secretly sent away by Lu Yaoyao that night.

The money and so on naturally went into the treasury.

The next day, early in the morning, after breakfast, Lu Yaoyao called for people to prepare the carriage. She wanted to go to Beijing to express her gratitude.

We arrived in the capital soon. Now that the Lu family is no longer in the capital, there is no need to settle there as before.

Looking at the time, it was still early, and the court had probably not ended yet. She called the coachman to go to the Princess's Mansion.

This Princess's Mansion is actually her former Township Master's Mansion, located behind Baizhen Tower.

Originally, the emperor wanted to reward her with another mansion, but she said that she didn't come to the capital to live often, and it was enough to have a township monarch's mansion to stay, and there was no need to give her a princess mansion.

Therefore, the original Xiangjun Mansion was directly changed to the Princess Mansion.

She doesn't come here often. On weekdays, shopkeeper Zhou of Baizhen Building occasionally arranges for someone to clean it.

The carriage quickly arrived at the Princess's Mansion, and he got off the carriage and entered the mansion.

The yard was quite tidy, but there was still a lot of dust, so Qiu Yu and Qiu Shuang immediately started cleaning it.

Of course, it's not the whole house cleaning, it's just cleaning the inside and outside of the main courtyard.

Lu Yaoyao was sitting in the main hall of the main courtyard, drinking hot tea that Qiu Yu had just made.

Suddenly, Qiu Shuang hurriedly ran in from outside.

"Miss."

"What's wrong?"

"Hurry up and take a look with me. There is a problem in the woodshed."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao frowned, put down his teacup and asked, "What's the problem?"

"There is a man in the woodshed."

"Is there someone? Who is it? Did Baizhen Tower arrange for someone to come and stay here temporarily?"

She had told the shopkeeper of Baizhen Building before that if the staff dormitory at Baizhen Building was not enough, she could arrange for people to stay temporarily in the servants' room here.

"She's not from Baizhenlou, she's a little girl. I look like she's Miss Qingqing from the Xu family."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yaoyao's face was shocked.

"Xu Qingqing? How come she is in my house again?"

As she spoke, she quickly stood up and left the main hall, heading straight to the woodshed next to the kitchen.

At this time, Qiu Yu was also in the woodshed. On the ground in front of her, there lay a little girl with torn and dirty clothes, a pale face and a thin body. If she looked carefully, there were many blood marks on the little girl's body. It looked like she had been beaten by someone.

It was whipped with a whip or a cane.

The little girl was in a coma at this time.

"Miss, you are here."

Lu Yaoyao ignored Qiu Yu, walked directly to the little girl and squatted down, carefully looking at her dirty little face.

Although she has lost her appearance a bit, she can still identify her. This is Xu Qingqing, the daughter of Xu Zhao and Gao.

When she first returned to the capital, she had met this little girl and had several friendly interactions with her.

In fact, Lu Yaoyao didn't hate this kind little girl who called her sister at all, but rather liked her a bit.

Now that he suddenly saw her miserable appearance, especially seeing the bloodstains and injuries on her little arms and face, Lu Yaoyao's eyes were a little cold.

"Go to the doctor."

"My slave has asked the coachman to look for her."

"Get her to my room quickly."

Qiu Yu quickly stepped forward and picked up the unconscious Xu Qingqing and took her to a wing in the main hospital. Soon the doctor came.

"The injuries look pretty serious, but they're all skin injuries. You just need to rest for a while. I'll leave some ointment for you later."

"Not heavy? Then why is she unconscious?"

"I guess I'm hungry because I haven't had water for many days."

As soon as the doctor said this, Lu Yaoyao immediately asked Qiu Shuang to go to Baizhen Tower to have someone prepare porridge and water.

After half an hour of busy work, Xu Qingqing still didn't wake up.

"Miss, it's almost time. You'd better go to the palace first. The slave here can stay and take care of you."

"Don't worry, thank you anytime. You can go in the afternoon. I want to know what's going on with her."

She pointed at Xu Qingqing, turned to Qiu Shuang and asked, "After what happened to the Gao family, I never paid attention to the Gao family. What is her situation now?"

"I don't know much about this, but after the Gao family was destroyed, I heard someone mentioned that the Gao family seemed to have left the capital with a pair of children. I don't know exactly where they went."

"Left the capital? Then why is she here?"

Qiu Shuang is also confused.

"Could it be that the Gao family offended too many people at the beginning, and they were caught by their former enemies when they left the capital? And then they were secretly brought back to the capital?"

Qiu Yu guessed on the side.

Although this guess seems a little unreliable, Xu Qingqing is in front of him now, so it cannot be said that it is completely wrong.

About half an hour later, Xu Qingqing moved on the bed and opened her eyes faintly.

His eyes were confused at first, and then he quickly turned over and got up, as if he had been frightened, and huddled towards the corner of the bed.

Her actions immediately attracted the attention of Lu Yaoyao and the others.

"Qingqing, you're awake, what's going on with you? Why are you in my house?"

Lu Yaoyao hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Don't come over, please, don't come over, don't hit me, I don't dare to do it anymore, please don't hit me."

Xu Qingqing, who was sitting at the corner of the bed, didn't recognize Lu Yaoyao at all, so he kept backing up, waving his hands, and his little face was full of fear and pleading.

Seeing her like this, Lu Yaoyao frowned, knowing that she might have been scared out of her shadow.

He quickly said softly, "Don't be afraid, Qingqing. My sister won't come over. You need to calm down first and see who I am."

"Don't hit me, don't hit me. I know I was wrong and I will never run away again."

Xu Qingqing still waved her hands and shook her head crazily.

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao once again softened his voice to comfort him.

"No fight, no fight, don't be afraid, look who I am, I am your sister Lu Yaoyao, do you still remember me?"

After a while, Xu Qingqing's mood calmed down, and her dull eyes began to focus, looking at Lu Yaoyao steadily.

"Yes, take a good look, I am your sister."

"Don't be afraid, you are safe now, no one will hit you again."

Xu Qingqing stared at her blankly for a long time.

Suddenly, he cried loudly and threw himself at Lu Yaoyao with open hands.

"Sister, really sister, I finally found you."

Lu Yaoyao was hugged by her and her body was a little stiff. To be honest, she had never seen anything like this before.

But she could clearly feel the inexplicable dependence of the little person in her arms on her. Perhaps in her heart, her sister was the only one she could rely on now, the only savior.

"Don't cry, don't cry, sister is here."

She didn't have any ill feelings toward Xu Qingqing. Even though she was the daughter of Xu Zhao and Gao, she had never regarded her as her enemy.

After another long period of peace, Xu Qingqing's mood became more stable.

"Qingqing, why are you in the woodshed of my house, where are your mother and brother?"
