This move was the most ruthless. At the moment, all the unmarried maids in the yard were frightened and rushed to expose them.

After a quarrel, Madam Lan was impatient and called them to the house one by one to ask. The people outside didn't know what they were saying in the house at all. She was even more worried that others would say more than they did, and she didn't dare to hide it at the moment. She said everything she shouldn't say, which naturally included Li Tong's debts in business. Although the maids didn't know too specific things, they were not complicated to do it, so they just gathered them all.

Madam Lan was shocked and immediately reported to Princess Anning.

Princess An Ning was even more angry and immediately ordered someone to search for Li Tong. She wanted to call Su Yihua back overnight, but was persuaded by Madam Lan. On this night, she went to find the person back. It was difficult for the in-laws to explain, and it was even more ugly when the matter spread. Princess An Ning gave up.

Before the princess's mansion came to pick her up the next day, Su Yihua knew the whole story. Su Yirong and Mrs. Cen had the deepest relationship with her grandson, and had been staying in Yuanping's mansion these days, so naturally he knew it.

He even advised Su Yihua not to take this matter into consideration. No matter how the people in the Princess' Mansion are coercive and tempted, they should not be moved by any tempting promises. Remember the lesson Su Yiqing was in danger in the Princess' Mansion. The people in Princess Anning's Mansion were just a group of ungrateful wolves who had crossed the river and burned bridges.

In order to prevent Su Yihua from being soft-hearted, Su Yirong also made harsh words. If he doesn't listen, he won't recognize her as his elder sister in the future. She is not so weak and can be bullied, which is embarrassing to mention it.

...

The matter next door seemed complicated. Su Yiqing didn't want to get involved, but she had no choice but to come to her. It seemed that she couldn't get rid of it, so she could only bite the bullet and resist it.

She went to Madam Yin to learn about the situation of Prince Cheng's Mansion and Princess Kang's, but Madam Yin's focus was not on the situation most of the time, and she just kept saying how much Prince Cheng favored this second wife and how powerful Kang's family was, and that she couldn't grasp the key points at all.

When asked Mama Li, Mama Li would tell you how Prince Cheng has prestige in the royal family. Prince Cheng has a good relationship with the harem, etc. Everyone knows about it.

Su Yiqing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. If she was sensitive to the politics of the Houzai, she remembered that she came here. Sometimes talent is really important. No wonder when reading history books before, many emperors may not have known that a minister was not right. But she still insisted on using it because some things really require these people who are good at franchise.

Sometimes I really want to come whatever I want.

As soon as Su Yiqing thought of this person, Xin'er came to report that Madam Zhou was asking for a meeting outside.

Just as he thought of Madam Zhou, Madam Zhou asked for a meeting this time. It was such a coincidence. Su Yiqing hesitated.

He was also afraid that Su Yiqing would not see him, Xin'er quickly said, "Princess, Madam Zhou has been here twice, this time it's the third time. She looks very anxious and almost kneels down and begs for the people from the corner gate to inform him."

After all, if the old nanny who had been serving for several years was driven out if she didn't meet her, she would be driven out. If something happened, it would be bad to spread it. Madam Zhou was actually good to the little maid below. When Xin'er came to be a little maid, she was more or less cared for and couldn't bear it. She had to blame Madam Yin twice before. She thought about the little dirty things back then, but she refused to report it. As a last resort, Madam Zhou wanted to ask her to pass on her. It was not easy to meet a maid, but it was easier to meet a maid.

"Let Madam Zhou come in." Su Yiqing said lightly.

Madam Zhou is not the kind of person who fights Qiu Feng for nothing. There must be something difficult to ask for. She didn't make any big mistakes at the beginning. If you can, just help.

After a while, Xin'er led Madam Zhou in.

Madam Zhou dressed as she used to be. Maybe she wanted to maintain her face in front of Su Yiqing, but her clothes were still the same, but her spirit was different. She seemed a little frightened without the calmness she used to be.

"The civilian woman has seen the princess." Madam Zhou knelt down and kowtowed to Su Yiqing firmly, and gave a big gift.

Su Yiqing was slightly stunned, remembering that Madam Zhou was already free, but ironically, this free self was not as decent as being a slave, and she didn't need to give such a big gift when she was a slave.

"Madam, get up and talk." Su Yiqing said lightly, thought for a while, and then said, "Madam is no longer a servant in the mansion. There is no need to be too polite, just sit and talk."

"No, no, there is no place where the civilian woman sits in front of the princess." Madam Zhou waved her hand quickly, her expression even more frightened.

Su Yiqing sighed secretly, okay, she insisted on sitting down, for fear that she would be even more uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with Mama here this time?" Su Yiqing wanted to exchange a few greetings before getting to the point, but seeing Mama Zhou's uncomfortable look, she felt that it would be better to go straight to the topic.

"The civilian woman is here to ask the princess for her life." Madam Zhou said, and tears flowed down her face.

Thinking about how these days are like nightmare, and life outside is not easy. She actually knows that, but she always feels that with some of her connections as a nanny for many years, she can still live a life with her endurance in everything. But who would have thought that something happened after just how long it took.

It was said that the family was unwilling to accept it. The third wife was originally kind-hearted. After she let her go, she asked her son to work as a shopkeeper and became an envious person. But the son was too fond of him and felt that instead of making wedding dresses for others, it would be better to open a shop and earn as much as he earned by himself.

She couldn't resist her son. Thinking about it, her son had a good idea. Since he had already redeemed, why bother to do things for others? He was dwarfed everywhere, which was not much different from before.

Then she took out her savings and rewards from the third wife before leaving, and asked her son to open a small cloth shop. The most stable business in the cloth shop was. After all, she had been immersed in the Duke and Marquis' family for many years, and she still had a certain vision and could help her. She dare not say that she was very prosperous and would not lose money at all. The cloth shop could cause less trouble, unlike the teahouse and restaurants, where there were too many idle people and wild men, and if she accidentally caused trouble, there would be gangsters fighting.

It's right to think about it this way. The cloth shop was prosperous as soon as it opened. At first, most people were afraid of her working in Yuanping Bo Mansion. Ordinary gangsters dared not make trouble. However, as time went by, her cloth shop business became prosperous, and she inevitably squeezed out the business of other cloth shops. Some people became jealous. Then they turned around and found out that she had actually been driven out by Yuanping Bo Mansion. She was not a servant of the Bo Mansion.

The news spread, and the gangsters who collected protection fees came to collect the money. First, one or two taels a month, and then more and more, the family could only tolerate it. After all, others cared about it. Unexpectedly, such tolerance would make people more and more difficult. Recently, those gangsters did not seem to only charge some protection fees, but seemed to drive their family out of the capital. She immediately thought that maybe another cloth shop gave the money to encourage the gangsters to make trouble.

She became alert, but before she could come up with any solution, something happened. A hooligan came to the shop to make trouble and tease her daughter-in-law. Her son couldn't help but beat the man, but ended up being beaten and paralyzed.

The gangster was named Zhang Bao, and those who could be gangsters had some backstages. At that moment, his family sued his son and took his son away. She persuaded him and stuffed a lot of money. She turned around and found an old lady who worked in the home of the governor's yamen. She gave the eldest aunt the most beloved aunt, but she had to say one thing: the people would not sue the official and not investigate, and asked her to reconcile Zhang Bao himself. As long as the Zhang family quit the lawsuit, there would be nothing.

She had looked for Zhang Bao's family. As soon as Zhang Bao opened her mouth, she asked their cloth shop not to say anything, but to ask for a thousand taels of silver. This was too much. Not to mention that she couldn't bring out so much silver, even if she could take it out, would she have no savings and the cloth shop wait for her son to come out and beg for food? There was no way, she could only come and beg the princess.

I hope that with years of friendship, as long as the princess says something, she can at least lose less money.

Su Yiqing looked at the smart Madam Zhou, who was once smart, and instantly felt like a hero was useless. Madam Zhou used to plan and predict things as if she was a god. As a result, once she had no protection from power, even a rogue could be bullied.

In terms of emotion, she sympathized with Madam Zhou, but rationally, she felt that she could not just listen to Madam Zhou's one-sided words. There were too many pitiful people in this world, and she did not have much sympathy to give to others.

But what is going on now? You can’t act like you don’t know anything and just drive Mama Zhou out.

Su Yiqing pondered.

Madam Zhou didn't dare to say anything. She never saw through what the princess was thinking. She could not infer from common sense that the princess's behavior was. She just vaguely felt that the princess was kind-hearted, but she didn't know how kind-hearted she could reach.

"Madam, you know. I have always been not good at dealing with the outside world, let alone the government affairs. In this way, let me think of a solution." Su Yiqing made up an idea.

"Princess, the family of the people is grateful." Madam Zhou did not dare to cry Su Yiqing's promise. Although she was anxious, she still did not lose her mind.

Su Yiqing nodded and ordered Xin'er: "It's getting late, so let Madam Zhou stay here for one night, and let Qingwu pack a guest room in her yard and entertain Madam Zhou. Madam will feel wronged that you and Qingwu will squeeze in."

Madam Zhou thought she was sent back to wait for news, but now she was unexpectedly left in the mansion. This is a huge sign, indicating that the princess is actually going to interfere in this matter, but she is not sure and it is difficult to say too much. Not to mention huddling with other maids, she would be willing to live in the stable.

After thanking again and again, Madam Zhou followed Xin'er.

Xin'er took Madam Zhou to the outer courtyard where Qingwu's family lived, and only told Qingwu that this was the nanny who used to take care of the princess. She had already redeemed her and wanted to stay here for two days and let Qingwu's family take care of her. (To be continued.
