The maid was escorted into a private room by two women. When she saw that the real person who captured her was Li Qingyi, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"I wonder what Miss Li has to do with this slave?"
"I haven't asked you yet, but you asked me first?"
Li Qingyi felt funny in his heart. This maid must have thought that it was the third princess who captured her, but when she saw it was him, she became arrogant.
"This slave just sent me a message. I wonder if Miss Li has anything to ask."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
"After all, I am one of the best ladies in the capital. You are clearly just a servant, but you don't have a trace of fear. You must be confident."
Li Qingyi looked at her with his chin in his hands, and said word by word in an unhurried manner: "So, your master's status must be higher than mine?"
The maidservant froze. She didn't expect that Li Qingyi could see so much in her movements, and he was inevitably surprised.
She bit her lip. It seemed that Li Qingyi was not an easy-to-fool daughter-in-law.
Thinking of this, the maid immediately changed her strategy and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Miss Li, I don't know anything. Please let me go!"
Li Qingyi glanced at her, "You said you don't know anything before I even asked. It seems... you must know something."
"No, no, I don't know! I really don't know anything! Your master doesn't remember the faults of villains. Just pretend that you have never met this person. Let me go! I promise that I will never come out to hinder your eyes again. !」
Seeing her nervous and frightened expression, Li Qingyi looked at her with his chin and said, "I don't want to ask anything. The third princess will come and ask you in person soon. You'd better think about how to explain it to Her Royal Highness."
"Three, third princess?"
The maidservant's body went limp and she became really frightened. She was so frightened that she couldn't even kneel straight.
"With the temper of the third princess, if this slave falls into her hands, she will shed her skin even if she is dead! Miss Li, I beg you, please save this slave, I will tell you everything!"
Li Qingyi was noncommittal and looked at her without saying a word.
The maid understood what Li Qingyi meant and wanted to see if she could keep what she said, so she swallowed her saliva and sobbed: "My name is Fuye. She is not a servant of Xiang Xiang's Mansion. She came with Miss Guo Si. It turned out that the slave girl was new to the house and she usually did not serve the fourth girl. Today, the maid next to the fourth girl was sick and there was not enough manpower, so she chose the slave girl to follow her. At that time, the third princess went to change clothes, and the fourth girl also followed. , and then I asked my slave to go and send a message to you..."
When Li Qingyi heard this and saw her pause, he asked: "So, Miss Guo Si asked you to lead me to the rockery?"
"Yes... I was relying on my master's orders, so I spoke rudely and bumped into you with random words. It was not for any reason... I don't know the rules. Please forgive me this time!"
"Then do you know what's the mystery behind the rockery?"
Fuye lowered her eyes to cover up: "The fourth girl just asked the slave to lead you to the rockery, but the slave doesn't know why..."
Li Qingyi listened to her words without comment and just snorted: "I think you don't want to walk out of here alive today."
Fuye suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Qingyi, her eyes full of surprise.
Li Qingyi looked at her calmly: "You poured dirty water on Guo Zi'er without saying a word, which shows that you are not afraid of her at all, nor are you afraid of the Guo family's disposal. Therefore, your real master's status should be higher than that of the Guo family." Master, I can make you so confident."
Fuye hesitated: "This slave just wants to save his own life, so he has no choice but to betray his master..."
Li Qingyi has already guessed it almost exactly, so of course he won't believe her lies.
The eleventh princess and the third princess have been at odds for a long time. Not long ago, the two princesses were punished for Huang Chongfeng's affair. Perhaps the eleventh princess had long suspected or understood the relationship between the third princess and Huang Chongfeng, and wanted to take advantage of the spring day. Yan exposed this scandal.
If her guess was correct, Fuye should be the eleventh princess's wife.
But why did she follow Guo Zier?
What about around you?
Guo Zi'er is just a little concubine of the Guo family. She shouldn't dare to make any suggestions and handle such matters for Princess Eleven. There must be someone else in the Guo family who has secret dealings with Princess Eleven, and this person has a certain say in the Guo family. , can control Guo Zi'er and give her certain benefits.
From another perspective, Concubine Hui always followed Concubine Mu in the palace. The eleventh princess was equivalent to being in the same boat as Concubine Mu, that is to say, she was on the same side as the fourth prince.
So, could the person who summoned Guo Zi'er and secretly communicated with the Eleventh Princess be the one who turned his elbow outward behind Guo Shangshu's back, conspired with the fourth prince to assassinate Qin Zeng, and then passed the blame on the second master Guo?
In this way, a line can be connected...
Concubine Hui and Princess Eleven, mother and daughter, are of the same mind as Concubine Mu, who is equivalent to the fourth prince.
The traitor of the Guo family secretly communicated with the eleventh princess and got in touch with the fourth prince.
He learned that Mr. Guo wanted to help Wei Laner kill Li Qingyi, so he told the fourth prince. The fourth prince took the opportunity to arrange a manpower to ambush Qin Zeng, and then put the blame on Mr. Guo.
This time the eleventh princess wants to deal with the third princess. Through the traitor of the Guo family, she wants Fuye to follow the Guo family daughter to the spring banquet, waiting for an opportunity to break the affair between the third princess and Huang Fangfeng. The traitor of the Guo family found Guo Zi'er and asked her to expose the third princess's affair and at the same time take the opportunity to drag Li Qingyi into the water.
Guo Zier persuaded Fuye and asked Li Qingyi to break up the affair between the third princess and Huang Chongfeng for them. In this way, they could achieve their goal without touching the mountain.
But, this is not the point.
But all the information was gathered in one place, which made Li Qingyi vaguely think of the identity of the traitor of the Guo family!
Mr. Wei Er wants to help Wei Lan'er kill him, and the traitor of the Guo family also wants to help Wei Lan'er kill him.
This shows that the traitor of the Guo family has a very close relationship with Wei Laner, and is most likely the second wife of the Guo family.
But this man secretly conspired with the Eleventh Princess and conspired with the Fourth Prince, which shows that he and Mr. Guo are seemingly inseparable.
Li Qingyi could only think of one person who agreed to such conditions.
The heir of Mr. Guo Er, Guo Qian.
Guo Qian's situation in the second room of the Guo family was a bit embarrassing.
He was adopted by Mrs. Guo from a young age and was named as his heir. He was originally the envy of others.
Unexpectedly, within a few years, the adoptive parents had their own son.
Although his adoptive parents still love him very much, how can an adopted son compare with his parent-child.
Guo Qian may have thought about returning to his biological parents, but compared with his brothers and sisters, how much affection can his biological parents have for him, a child who was taken away at birth?
What's more, he has become the young master of the Guo family, and his biological parents have benefited a lot from it. For the sake of profit, they may not be willing to let him go back.
Guo Qian was in a dilemma.
