Yan Junuo stared at Xu Qingmo's eyes for a long time. Her eyes changed from frightened to calm, and finally became determined. She raised her chin slightly: "Why don't you dare?"
Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled, with a bit of disdain in his eyebrows: "Oh?"
"I want the power that belongs to my Crown Princess back, and you want Zhu Han's life. Even if you are extremely capable, you can't reach out to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Xu Qingmo, it would be great if you join forces with me!" Yan Zhu Nuo looked at Xu Qingmo and said word by word.
Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows: "When I deal with people, I never care where they are. As long as I want her life, he won't survive!"
Yan Junuo's heart thumped. She originally just wanted to test Xu Qingmo. She knew very well that Xu Qingmo had money and people. With her around, it would be very convenient to do things. But in the end, she didn't have any capital. You can let her join forces with you.
"But..." Xu Qingmo suddenly relented, "If you want me to help you, it's not impossible!"
Yan Junuo's eyes lit up instantly: "What do you want?"
"I don't have anything I want now, but you have to promise me that I will help you except Zhu Han. You can do one thing for me, no matter what it is!" Xu Qingmo looked at Yan Junuo coldly.
"Okay!" Yan Junuo said without any hesitation.
Xu Qingmo smiled, of course she knew what Yan Junuo was thinking, and it was up to her to decide whether she would do what she promised, but from beginning to end, what Xu Qingmo wanted was not Yan Juno's vague words. Promise: "It's a promise!"
"It's a deal!" Yan Junuo looked at Xu Qingmo, his eyes bright.
Xu Qingmo turned around and walked back: "Let's wait for the news!"
Yan Junuo wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the maid beside him!
Xu Qingmo didn't stop for a moment and walked towards the yard. When Yan Junuo could no longer be seen, Qu Lian couldn't help but ask: "Girl, you know that this Yan Junuo is not someone who will keep his promises." Man, why are you still helping her?”
"What I want is not her promise!" Xu Qingmo smiled, "Joining hands with her is like seeking skin from a tiger. As she said, my hands are not that long, and there is indeed no way to reach the prince's house. It’s more convenient to lend her hands to do something!”
Hua Ying who was following him remained silent. Qu Lian thought that Hua Ying still felt a little uncomfortable, so she said, "Sister Hua Ying, you don't have to think too much. In the end, we are just trying to protect ourselves!"
Hua Ying paused and then said: "I know, but I think what the girl wants is not just Zhu Han's life, right?"
Xu Qingmo, who was standing aside, smiled and then said, "Don't think too much!"
Hua Ying took a careful look at Xu Qingmo and saw that her expression was normal, but for some reason, Hua Ying always felt that Xu Qingmo could not think so simply. What she wanted might be much more than they thought!
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Marquis Ningyuan and Xu Yanquan went to court. They also took down the red lanterns in the mansion. After the Spring Festival, the weather became warmer day by day. Hua Ying and Qu Lian took advantage of the rare sunny day. , moved everything inside and outside the house to dry, leaving Xu Qingmo lying alone on the couch in the house.
Just when Xu Qingmo was drowsy, Hua Ying walked in: "Girl, the Crown Princess has sent someone to deliver a message!"
Xu Qingmo paused, then sat up: "Let someone come in!"
The one who came in was still the maid who followed Yan Junuo. This was the first time Xu Qingmo looked at her carefully. The maid stood in front of Xu Qingmo with her head lowered and did not say a word.
"What's your name?" Xu Qingmo looked at the maid and asked softly.
"Slave Xiangye!" The maid still lowered her head.
Xu Qingmo's eyes fell on the maid's sleeves. Her sleeves were a little frayed and missing a hole. The collar was also washed and turned white. She thought she had worn this dress for a while.
"Earlier, I remembered that the one following Yan Junuo was not you!" Xu Qingmo took the tea handed over by Hua Ying and took a sip.
Xiangye paused, and then said: "This slave is the dowry girl of the Crown Princess. She didn't grow up with the Crown Princess. It's normal that Miss Xu hasn't seen her much!"
Xu Qingmo responded, then looked at Huaying: "I remembered that the warehouse made a lot more clothes this year, so go get a set!"
Huaying responded and left.
Xu Qingmo didn't speak, and Xiangye didn't speak either. After a long time, she said, "Did she do what I asked Yan Junuo to do before?"
"The girl sent someone to send a message to the Crown Princess, asking her not to quarrel with the Concubine on the other side these days, but only for a little mistreatment in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. The Concubine is a calm person, and she took her dowry subsidy and said, Don't say a word!" Xiangye said softly.
Xu Qingmo didn't even raise his eyes: "What about the people around her?"
"The maids were all calm, but there was a woman who was so angry that she yelled in the yard, but no one paid attention to her!" Xiangye said softly.
"Then find a few people to deal with her!" Xu Qingmo put down the teacup in his hand, "The Crown Princess is diligent and diligent. Since someone is dissatisfied, she will find a way to get in front of the Crown Prince!"
"In this case, doesn't it give the concubine the opportunity to quibble?" Xiangye frowned.
Xu Qingmo smiled: "Of course I want to give her a chance to quibble!"
"Ah?" Xiangye asked strangely, "Why?"
"For Zhu Han, what he cares about most is his position in the prince's heart. Only by irritating her can she make her attack Yan Junuo. As for people, only when they take the initiative are they most likely to be caught. , and what you want most is this handle, isn't it?" Xu Qingmo looked at the fragrant leaves in front of him and said softly.
Xiangye looked at Xu Qingmo for a long time, and then asked: "Do we just need to anger her?"
"Provoke her, and then wait for her to reveal her fault!" Xu Qingmo smiled and said softly.
It happened that Huaying came in with a set of clothes, Xu Qingmo glanced at Xiangye, and then said: "Yan Junuo is not a particularly serious daughter. She was raised by her mother-in-law since she was a child. Although when she got married, her middle-in-law was married. There is a lot of dowry, but most of it comes from a real estate shop, she doesn’t have much money, and she is vain herself, so she will inevitably treat you badly!"
When Xiangye saw the clothes in Huaying's hand, she immediately realized that Xu Qingmo saw the gap in her clothes and quickly put her hands behind her back to hide her embarrassment.
"You don't have to be formal. Just accept what's given to you. It's not a precious thing!" Hua Ying stepped forward and stuffed the clothes into Xiang Ye's hands.
