After a while, the maid came back and hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, my wife followed the old lady to the theater to watch a play."
Shen Shuli's face was swollen like a pig's head. She didn't want Qiao Jianghong to see her ugly look, so she covered her face with a piece of black gauze.
A month? She couldn't let her face stay ugly for so long.
If you want to catch a man, then hold on to his body firmly and serve him well.
Let alone Qiao Jianghong, she couldn't bear to see her like this.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid my face will be ruined if it's too late." Shen Shuli begged Qiao Jianghong pitifully.
Qiao Jianghong was also anxious, beauty was too important for a woman.
"Go to the theater quickly and ask Madam to come back."
The maid pointed the finger and quickly went to invite An Qien.
After a while, Mrs. Qiao came with a cold face, followed by An Qien with a calm expression.
Shen Shuli blushed and knelt in front of Mrs. Qiao and An Qien, "Please, madam, madam, save this slave."
Qiao Jianghong said anxiously, "Qi'en, Shuli got ringworm after using your rouge. The doctor needs to know the special ingredients in it to cure it."
An Qien glanced at Qiao Jianghong indifferently, "Your Majesty, I have never rewarded the maid rouge, but I lost a box of rouge in my room a few days ago. I wonder if the rouge the prince mentioned is the box I lost?"
Qiao Jianghong blushed. He had planned to say hello to her when he took the box of rouge that day, but he couldn't say hello after all.
He was thinking of just a box of rouge and gouache, and didn't care about it afterwards.
Old Mrs. Qiao was furious, "You bitch, you are so dishonest! You dared to steal things from the mistress of the house when you first came here, your conduct is so bad, I will never keep such a person in the Marquis' Mansion."
Qiao Jianghong explained, "Grandma, please calm down. I gave the rouge to Shuli, she didn't steal it. I saw that Qi'en had more rouge, so I casually rewarded Shuli with a box."
Mrs. Qiao looked at Qiao Jianghong doubtfully, "Is this really true?"
"Seriously, a grandchild never deceives his grandmother."
Mrs. Qiao didn't look like he was lying, so she believed it.
It's just a box of rouge. As long as it's not stolen, it's a trivial matter.
Mrs. Qiao's expression softened a little, and she glanced coldly at Shen Shuli, who was kneeling with a low eyebrow.
It had only been a few days since he had been in the Marquis Mansion, but trouble arose, and he didn't look like a peaceful person.
She opened her mouth and said, "How does a maid look like when she is dressed up like a flower? The rouge used by the mistress is not something that ordinary maids are qualified to use. It is her own fault for being like this."
Shen Shuli cried and admitted her mistake. Saving her face was the most important thing at the moment, "Old Madam, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again."
Qiao Jianghong then begged, "If grandma is to blame for this, it's her grandson who gave her the rouge. Please don't blame Shuli."
Old Mrs. Qiao has always pampered Qiao Jianghong. He is recovering from a serious illness and it is impossible to severely punish his beloved for this matter.
The reason for saying these two words is just to make An Qien feel better.
"Jiang Hong, she is now a maid. A maid looks like a maid. She is so smeared. Do you think my palace is Pansi Cave?"
Qiao Jianghong replied respectfully, "My grandson knows he was wrong."
Mrs. Qiao pretended to scold her, then turned around and took An Qien's hand with a kind face and said, "Qien, she's just a maid. Don't take it to heart. This kid will use your things to reward others in the future." I broke his legs."
Qiao Jianghong also felt that this was done unkindly and apologized to An Qien, "Qien, there won't be a next time."
An Qi'en's face was indifferent, "Grandma, the prince, is just a box of rouge, Qi'en never takes it seriously."
Seeing her calm face and temperament like a clay figurine, Qiao Jianghong asked directly, "The doctor said that if you want to reduce the swelling on your allergic face, you must know the specific ingredients to cure it. Otherwise, it will take a month for Shuli's face to be swollen. Qi'en Do you know what special ingredients are used in this rouge?”
An Qien replied, "This rouge was given by Madam Liu, not bought from a shop. I only know how to use it, not how to make it."
Qiao Jianghong asked again, "Where is Madam Liu? I'll send someone to find out."
His anxious look really showed his true feelings for Shen Shuli.
"Ms. Liu went to the palace to celebrate the Queen's birthday. She wrote before that she would stay for a month or two."
Old Mrs. Qiao became interested. The person who had anything to do with the Queen was no ordinary person.
She squeezed An Qien's hand again and asked, "What is Madam Liu's identity?"
As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Qiao immediately thought that the Queen's surname was also Liu.
Is it possible?
"Ms. Liu is the Queen's biological sister."
The old lady was shocked. She did not expect that Madam Liu was the daughter of Tong Zhongshu's disciple Ping Zhangshi, who held the position of prime minister.
If we can establish a good relationship with the Queen and the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Hou Mansion will definitely be in full swing here in the future.
The old lady's tone changed, and she asked softly, "You must have an extraordinary relationship with Madam Liu?"
An Qi'en knew that this old lady was a power seeker. In her previous life, it was because she told the truth about her relationship with Madam Liu.
She has brought a lot of trouble to Mrs. Liu, so she is not that stupid in this life.
"No, it was one day during the Lantern Festival. Madam Liu accidentally knocked the lantern fire into me. She used rouge to apologize to me afterwards. By the way, she also mentioned that she would be away from home for a few days. She must have told me this because of fate. thing."
Old Mrs. Qiao's eyes deepened, with an inscrutable look on her face. If she had good connections, she would definitely be able to establish a relationship with the Prime Minister's Office in the future.
"You are bored in the house all the time. When you have nothing to do, you can go out for a walk. Since you have a fate with Madam Liu, don't waste this fate and invite her to your home someday."
An Qien nodded but did not respond.
Shen Shuli was even more sad, and now her face was expressionless.
I don't know if what An Qien said is true or false.
Qiao Jianghong asked the doctor urgently, "Does the doctor have any other ideas?"
The doctor shook his head helplessly.
The last hope in Shen Shuli's heart was shattered.
....
As soon as they returned to Qiushui Residence, Qingbi and Bailu were very happy.
An Qien sat down and took a sip of tea comfortably.
Qingbi stepped forward to press her shoulders and said proudly, "Ma'am, you still have the foresight. That little bitch is so embarrassed and his face is as swollen as a pig's trotters."
Bai Lu was fanning An Qi'en from the opposite side and happily agreed, "Her face will be swollen for at least a month. The prince will definitely not look at her again."
Qingbi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Madam, did you know that Shen Shuli was allergic?"
Because two days ago, An Qien asked her to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and hand a letter to Madam Liu.
Madam Liu has a lively and unruly personality. She used to go to the palace early and come back early, never staying overnight.
An Qien smiled faintly, and Qingbi knew the answer.
If you take other people's things, you have to pay a price.
