Chapter 196 This is reality
Seeing Yu Zhengsha silent, Yu Zhenzhen's face turned ugly. Judging from her father's expression, is he not going to pursue the matter?
"Daddy..." Yu Zhenzhen was about to speak, but Wang pulled her sleeve and stopped her with a look.
"I see. It seems we misunderstood the young lady." Wang smiled gently and turned to Yu Zhengsha, "Master, it seems the maid who came to report didn't explain clearly. Since it was these useless things that made the young lady angry, a beating would probably teach her a lesson."
Yu Zhenzhen turned her head in surprise. Why would her mother speak for that bitch?
"Mother!"
Yu Zhengsha glanced at Yu Qingli calmly, "In that case, let's just leave it at that. From now on, the servants in the mansion must behave politely when they see the young lady! Got it?!"
The maids who were beaten were all very depressed, and they had no good feelings towards this young lady who appeared out of nowhere. However, a man of insight is a wise man, so they could only compromise temporarily.
"I obey your command!"
"Okay, you all go down first. Someone, please invite Doctor Liu. We have taught him a lesson. We can't let this cause any bad consequences that would let others say that we in the Yu family are harsh on our servants, right? What do you think, Miss?" Wang asked in a pretentious manner.
Yu Qingli sneered, "That's your business, Auntie. It has nothing to do with me. As long as no one comes to trouble me, it's fine. This Liuli Residence is now my place, Yu Qingli. If you disturb me without my permission, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Wang lowered her brows and looked respectful. "Miss, you are right. Don't worry, we will not bother you."
There was a hint of grievance in his tone, and Yu Qingli secretly laughed. This grievance was probably done for Yu Zhengsha to see.
Yu Zhenzhen was filled with anger, but couldn't vent it due to the current situation. She felt very aggrieved, but could only leave Liuliju under Wang's persuasion.
Yu Zhengsha did not stay any longer. After looking at Yu Qingli meaningfully, he turned around and left this disgusting place.
Yu Qingli, it seems that she is getting more and more out of control, and she must be dealt with as soon as possible.
Yu Zhengsha returned to the study, and Jiang Bai followed him as usual.
"Jiang Bai, what do you think about this matter?"
Jiang Bai hesitated for a moment, lowered his eyes, and hid the murderous intent in his eyes. "It seems that we have to act quickly."
Yu Zhengsha nodded slightly, "What happened to those people last time?"
"I heard that the young lady was rescued by someone."
"Do you know who he is?"
"The other party claims to be the King..."
Yu Zhengsha's eyes were sharp, "Is it Murong Yanhui?!"
"Except for this King Yan, there is probably no one else in Canghe who dares to be so presumptuous."
Yu Zhengsha snorted coldly, "If it happens again, I'll get rid of him too! I'm sure His Majesty will be very grateful to me."
"Yes! I understand!"
Jiang Bai retreated and stopped at the door. "Master, Eunuch Xi from the palace sent a message saying that His Majesty's heart has wavered. Master, you'd better prepare in advance."
"I know about this matter. You can go down first."
Yu Zhengsha remained expressionless. Was Murong Shiling's heart wavering, or had he been acting from the beginning? The emperor's heart was as unfathomable as the sea. In this court, if one stood in the wrong place, the consequences would be unbearable.
Yu Zhengsha's eyes flashed with brilliance. Yu Qingli, he would never let a woman ruin his future and career, even if this woman was his own daughter!
After Yu Zhenzhen and others left, Yu Qingli told Mei Hong and others to move the chair back and took the medical book to read it carefully.
Yinhuan looked at her hands in a daze because she had hurt someone before, but there was no regret in her eyes. If it happened again, she would still listen to the young lady. After all, since they came to the Imperial Capital, the people in this mansion have looked at the young lady with disgust and disdain.
This is really unbearable. The young lady is obviously the real eldest daughter of this mansion!
Mei Hong, who was standing by, couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes. She said excitedly, "Miss, it was so satisfying just now..."
"Hmm..." Yu Qingli responded lightly, and reminded him neither lightly nor seriously, "Don't let your guard down just yet. If you offend someone in this mansion today, you won't have a good life here in the future."
Yinhuan came back to her senses and said seriously, "Don't worry, my lady. We servants will definitely protect you."
"Meihong is the same. Don't worry, Miss. You are now the eldest prince's consort. If there is anything, you can ask the eldest prince for help."
Yu Qingli frowned. "Looking for Murong Feng?! I'm afraid I'll die even faster!" She had never counted on Murong Feng, but Yu Zhengsha would probably be a little hesitant and not dare to attack her for the time being.
Seeing Yu Qingli in a daze, Mei Hong asked, "Speaking of which, Miss, the wedding is more than a month away, and the master and his family haven't mentioned preparing a dowry for you yet. What should we do..."
"Don't worry about that. Even if my father can afford to lose face, the emperor can't. My wedding day will definitely be a grand occasion!"
Yu Qingli spoke with great confidence, but she didn't know that danger was approaching her step by step, and it was coming so fast!
After dinner, Yu Qingli asked Meihong and the others to go back and rest, while Yinhuan slept in the outer room of Yu Qingli's courtyard to keep watch. She and Meihong took turns keeping watch, and today was Meihong's turn.
The night was deep, but Yu Qingli couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Was it right or wrong to return to the capital?
But at this point, she has no way out.
Yu Qingli turned over and heard Yinhuan's soft whisper from outside, "Miss, are you still awake? Are you unable to sleep?"
Yu Qingli responded, "Go to sleep, don't worry about me."
Not long after, the sound of the door opening was heard. Yinhuan's footsteps were very light, and she was holding a light incense in her hand. The faint scent of orchid could be smelled, which could calm people's mood.
"Miss, this sachet is made of dried orchid petals. If you don't mind..."
"Put it down. This smell is really refreshing. It's getting late. You should go to bed early."
"Well, I will leave now. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."
"Okay..." Yu Qingli did not reject Yinhuan's kindness. Although Yinhuan had been her maid for a short time, it was obvious that this girl was much more useful than Meihong. However, she didn't know how long such loyalty would last.
Yinhuan walked out quietly. It was not known whether it was the effect of the incense or Yu Qingli was really tired, but in the faint floral fragrance, Yu Qingli actually fell asleep.
After a moment, the door opened slightly again, and a pair of eyes stared at Yu Qingli's sleeping face carefully, and soon disappeared into the night with an expressionless face.
A dreamless night till dawn!
It was already noon the next day when Yu Qingli got up. Her mind was not as clear as she had imagined. Her eyes darkened, "Yinhuan, don't let me down."
"Miss, are you awake?"
Yinhuan smiled and walked into the room with water in her hand. "Wash your face first."
Yu Qingli responded, got up from the bed, and changed into a light blue dress, which made her look even cooler.
"Where's Meihong?!"
"Miss Meihong has gone out. She said it's autumn and she wants to buy two new clothes for the young lady."
"She is thoughtful." Yu Qingli smiled lightly, washed her face with water, then stood up and walked out.
The weather is fine, which is perfect for a walk.
Before leaving Liuli Residence, I saw a little maidservant of about sixteen or seventeen years old standing at the door very stiffly. She looked like she was about to cry. It seemed that her bad reputation had spread in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Something happened?!"
Yu Qingli took the initiative to ask, and the maid retreated a few steps timidly, and then actually knelt on the ground, "Miss... Miss..."
Yu Qingli's brows were cold, and she glanced at the maid calmly, "Get up, what's the matter?!"
"Second... Madam sent this servant to invite the young lady..."
"Second Madam?"
"It's Madam Cui Er!"
Yu Qingli raised an eyebrow and stared at the little maid in front of her. What could Cui want from her?! She didn't want to get involved with Yu Zhengsha's concubines. As long as they didn't cause her trouble, she had no reason to initiate any conflict.
Her enemy was Murong Feng, and she knew this by heart! Since the other party had taken the initiative to attack, she wanted to see what this Concubine Cui was up to.
"In that case, let's go and take a look."
Yu Qingli was about to go out with the maid, but was stopped by Yinhuan, "Miss..."
He gave Yinhuan a soothing look and said, "It's okay, I'll be back soon."
"Then I will accompany you, young lady."
"No need. You wait for Meihong in the yard. When she comes back, I have something to tell you."
Seeing Yu Qingli's cold gaze, Yinhuan immediately stopped talking.
Yu Qingli followed the maid towards Cui's courtyard. Cui's courtyard was in the northwest direction and was closely connected to the courtyard where Yu Zhenzhen currently lived.
There were flowers all along the way, and there was not a trace of autumn. However, in Cui's yard, there were rare red maples. It seemed that Cui was very favored.
"Miss, please come this way..."
The long corridor had a distinct Jiangnan feel. Walking along it, Yu Qingli unexpectedly thought of her deceased mother. I wonder if Yu Zhengsha, while meticulously decorating his home here, ever thought of his mother back in Luoyang?
"The eldest lady is here!"
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Yu Qingli heard a warm voice coming from her ears. She looked up and saw Cui, who was wearing a purple dress, walking towards her with a smile on her face.
Yu Qingli looked indifferent, but still nodded to Cui and said, "Hello, Aunt Cui."
"Miss, you are so polite. Please come in. My sister and Zhenzhen have been waiting for a long time."
Yu Qingli smiled faintly, her eyes filled with curiosity. She wondered what these two were doing here? Were they trying to reconcile? Perhaps it wasn't as simple as she thought!
