Han Yunxi did not expect that Xiao Jingchen specially invited her here just to talk about this matter.

She had promised to let the aunt and nephew out of the palace before, but because Mu Qiulan had helped her, she thought that she might not be worthy of a good husband in the future because of her ugly appearance, so it was better to let her go to Prince Qi's palace as a dowry girl.

, it would be better for her to be married to a servant in the palace than to marry a country man in the country.

But now that Xiao Jingchen brought it up, she had no choice but to give it up.

"I originally wanted to find a good family for her. Since the prince said so, I will go back to my house to report to my mother and let them out of the house."

Han Yunxi looked at Xiao Jingchen shyly as he spoke: "Your Majesty... don't you have anything else to say to me?"

Xiao Jingchen said expressionlessly: "The days are long, are you still worried about not having time to talk?"

Han Yunxi was very happy after hearing this, "Your Majesty is right, the future is long..."

"Okay! I have something else to do, so I'll take a step ahead. It would be too much to gossip, so I won't send you back home."

After saying this, Xiao Jingchen stood up and walked towards the carriage on the roadside.

"Your Majesty..." Han Yunxi shouted resentfully, but could only watch the carriage drive away.

"Miss, let's go back to the house too!" the maid stepped forward and said.

She sighed gloomily: "Let's go!"

…

As soon as Han Yunxi returned home, Mrs. Liu called her into the room.

Although Ms. Liu was just a humble dowry girl back then, and her appearance was not outstanding, after years of proper maintenance, she gradually became wealthy and had the aura of a mistress of the house.

"I heard that you went to see King Qi?" Mrs. Liu drank tea slowly, and the maidservant knelt down to beat her legs.

Han Yunxi said with a guilty conscience: "Mom, how did you know?"

"Do you think there is anything else in this house that you can hide from me?" Mrs. Liu put down her tea cup and said, "You and Prince Qi are not married yet. If you keep in touch with each other privately, wouldn't you be criticized? After all, you are also the daughter of a minister, how can you do that?

Such disregard for etiquette."

Han Yunxi said disdainfully: "Anyway, I will never marry him unless I marry him in this life, so there is nothing to avoid."

After hearing this, Ms. Liu slammed the table angrily, "The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes!"

She sent all the servants out of the room, and then asked: "Xi'er, tell mother honestly, is King Qi sincere to you?"

Han Yunxi didn't know how to answer, "I...I don't know."

"I don't know? What do you mean you don't know?"

"Mother! Don't ask." Han Yunxi said, "Didn't the Holy One already grant the marriage? Does he still dare to resist the decree?"

Mrs. Liu snorted coldly: "He doesn't dare to resist the decree, but if he has no affection for you, I'm afraid he will be eager to take a concubine soon after the wedding, and your life will be even more difficult by then. You have to know that a woman,

If you cannot please your husband, it is like being a widow."

That was how she was back then!

Han Yunxi panicked when she heard this: "Mom, what should I do?"

Liu said: "Prince Qi is very popular nowadays. I don't know how many princes and ministers want to marry him. Although our Han family is the first to get the marriage decree, there is no guarantee that others will not come later. It doesn't matter how many concubines Prince Qi has, the most important thing is

It is you who must give birth to a legitimate son for him, so that your status will be stable."

She sighed and said bitterly: "If I could have given birth to a son, your father would not have brought that little bastard back. I am afraid that this huge family fortune will fall into his hands in the future."

"Mom, are you too worried?" Han Yunxi said, "Then Han Wei is just my father's adopted son and not a close relative. What are you afraid of him for?"

"What do you know?" Mrs. Liu said, "That boy is very ambitious."

When Han Yuanchong brought five-year-old Han Wei into the house, Mrs. Liu sent people to check his details, but found nothing. She also thought about whether Han Yuanchong was born by a woman outside Han Yuanchong, but she never found any evidence.

"Mom, I think you are just too suspicious." Han Yunxi thought of what Xiao Jingchen told her and said hurriedly: "Mom, there is one more thing, A Chou and Aunt Mu, can you let them out of the house?"

Ms. Liu was confused and asked: "Why do you suddenly care about these two people?"

Han Yunxi said: "Aunt Mu has been a slave and a maid in the palace for half her life. Now that she is old, why don't you show mercy and allow her to return to her hometown for retirement? Besides, I have already promised the prince..."

Mrs. Liu was even more confused: "Is this what King Qi meant?"

Han Yunxi nodded: "When the prince was conquering Nanyi, A Chou saved him, so he asked me to release the two of them from the house. This matter should be what A Chou asked the prince at that time."

Mrs. Liu frowned, and the more she listened, the more strange she became: "The noble prince would actually ask about a maid's affairs. I think the two of them have been getting along day and night in the past few months, so I'm afraid there is something ulterior."

"Mother, what are you thinking?" Han Yunxi said displeased: "How could the prince be so noble, how could he fall in love with such an ugly and humble maid? What you said is simply slandering the prince's reputation."

"You're not even married yet, so you're turning your elbows outward!" Madam Liu said, "I'm just reminding you. Even if Prince Qi is a gentleman, there's no guarantee that that girl won't have those wishful thinking."

Han Yunxi retorted: "Even if she wants to fly up a branch and become a phoenix, it depends on whether the prince can see her. Not to mention how ugly she is, no matter how pretty she is, she is not worthy of the prince based on her status."

Although she was talking about Mu Qiulan, it also hit a sore spot in Mr. Liu's heart. She was quite pretty back then, but compared with Ms. Ye, she was in heaven and on earth. Who doesn't like men?

She was beautiful. Even though she was now the wife of a minister, Han Yuanchong still missed the late Ye and was always indifferent to her.

But she also has to thank Mrs. Ye. If it weren't for her, Han Yunchong would have taken in so many concubines, and there would be no place for her.

"That's all, it's up to you." Mrs. Liu waved her hand, thinking that an extremely ugly girl couldn't stir up much trouble.

Han Yunxi was then satisfied, "Then I'll go down."

She wanted to tell Mu Qiulan about this.

In fact, she didn't listen to what Ye said at all. Before that, she had thought about letting Mu Qiulan go to the palace as a bride, but Ye's words reminded her. If this ugly girl really had that ambition, it would give her a chance, so she might as well let it go.

Far away, foolproof.

When Mu Qiulan heard Han Yunxi say that she could return to her hometown with her aunt, she was so happy that she cried with joy. She kept kowtowing and thanked her: "Thank you so much, miss. Miss, you are so kind and kind, and I can't repay you for it."

Han Yunxi said: "I don't need you to repay any kindness, as long as you always remember this kindness."

"Ah Chou will be engraved in my heart!"

"Well, I see that you are also homesick, so why not leave tomorrow? From now on, you will have nothing to do with Shangshu Mansion. You will just serve Aunt Mu wholeheartedly. This Kyoto... and don't come back again!"

Mu Qiulan: "Yes!"

Kyoto, she will indeed never come again, nor will she see anyone again.
