"Auntie, help me look at the water in the pot."
Qin Lian spoke to the cook and went to find Su Liuye with the notice. Seeing that Su Liuye had just woken up, she showed her the notice in her hand.
"A Liu, look! This morning when I went out to buy groceries, I saw a notice on the door of our store. It said Five Princes' Mansion!"
When Su Liuye heard this, he immediately took the notice and read it quickly, with a solemn look on his face.
The notice said that the Fifth Prince's Mansion would like to invite them to cook a meal at the residence. If they agree, they can go to the Fifth Prince's Mansion with the notice and someone will help guide them.
There is also the seal of the Five Princes' Palace below. No one in the capital would dare to forge this seal.
Qin Lian and Su Liuye naturally understood this.
Qin Lian said worriedly, "A Liu, why did the people from the Fifth Prince's Palace suddenly invite us? Is it because Zhou Yun'er said something, so the Fifth Prince's Palace..."
When she said this, her voice was trembling. After all, the other party was the prince. If she really wanted to, she could kill them with just one sentence.
"That's also possible."
Su Liuye did not deny this.
Zhou Yun'er has never been a large-scale person. She hasn't appeared recently. Maybe she went to someone from the palace to help her vent her anger.
Thinking of this, Su Liuye felt that the notice in her hand was a hot potato.
The Fifth Prince's Mansion posted the notice on the door so directly, probably because they couldn't find her whereabouts, and the nearby neighbors didn't know where she lived, so they simply posted it on the door.
After Su Liuye had finished washing her clothes, she originally wanted to ask Uncle Zhou about something. Uncle Zhou is the steward sent by Xiao Yun, and he has been in the capital for so many years, so he must know who the fifth prince is.
Moreover, if she remembered correctly, Xiao Yun was a disciple of the Fifth Prince before. As Xiao Yun's housekeeper, Uncle Zhou knew more things.
"Madam, Uncle Zhou went out in the morning and hasn't come back yet." Xiao Wu happened to be in the hall and heard their words and said, "Mrs. Chu, why don't you go out and find Uncle Zhou?"
"No, I'll wait for a while."
Uncle Zhou is going out to buy Xin's charcoal today and will probably be back soon.
Su Liuye looked at the notice in her hand, her expression still solemn.
Qin Lian went back to the kitchen and cooked a few bowls of noodle soup. She was about to go back to the hall when she happened to meet Chu San on the way.
Chu San took the initiative to stop her, "Miss Qin, wait a moment! I just heard that the Fifth Prince's Mansion came to see you and Sister Liu Ye for something. Why?"
"Mr. Chu, how did you know?" Qin Lian was surprised.
"I asked Qingshu to get me hot water from the kitchen. The cook told Qingshu."
"So that's it." Qin Lian suddenly realized, "There is indeed such a thing. People from the Fifth Prince's Palace posted a notice on the door of our store, saying that they wanted A-Lian and me to cook at the Prince's Palace, saying that they liked our store. The food in it.”
Speaking of this, Qin Lian also felt strange. Their store only had a few dishes and it had not been open for a long time. How could the palace know about it?
"Is there a royal seal on the notice?" Chu San asked.
"Of course there is, no one in this capital dares to pretend to be a prince, right?"
"It's hard to say." Chu San asked with a slightly cold voice, "Miss Qin, what do you think, do you plan to accept the palace's invitation?"
"I don't know either."
Qin Lian was not in charge, and she didn't know how Su Liuye would handle this matter.
But... she said worriedly, "I still feel so strange. I really don't understand why the palace came to us."
"Maybe it's because the palace likes the skills of you and Sister Liu Ye." Chu San laughed.
Qin Lian sighed, "But we had some conflicts with the princess of the Fifth Prince's Palace before, and they all came to her door that day. Today, the palace said that we should go there. This is really strange."
"Princess? Are you Princess Kangle?"
"Yes, that's her!" Qin Lian was a little angry when talking about this person. "This princess is so stingy, how could she let me and A Liu go? What if this invitation is really her plan? If Liu is gone, wouldn’t he be deceived?”
"What's the problem between you and Princess Kangle?" Chu San asked.
Qin Lian hesitated. She really didn't know how to tell Chu San about this matter.
Could it be said directly that they knew that Princess Kangle in the palace was fake and accidentally came to the capital and accidentally attracted the attention of the princess.
Are they so careful now because they don't want Princess Kangle to see them, lest they be killed? But can these things be said?
Even if they knew that Zhou Yun'er was a fake, they couldn't say it at this time, because the palace recognized Zhou Yun'er for some reason. If they told this fact in public, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the palace? By that time, they would have really offended the palace.
Qin Lian's eyes flickered, "Mr. Chu, it's not easy for me to tell you this matter. Anyway, apart from this matter, we have no other relationship with the palace. I really don't know why they came to me and A Liu." .”
After thinking about it, she really couldn't find the reason.
When Chu San heard what she said, his expression became solemn, "I remember that Princess Kangle is quite famous in the capital, but her reputation is not very good. She often uses her identity as the princess to bully others in the city."
Speaking of this, he said with disdain on his face, "Such a princess is considered a disgrace to the royal family, and will only be discussed by the people in the future."
"Mr. Chu, don't talk nonsense!" Qin Lian's expression became visibly nervous, "Even if this matter is true, don't say it out loud!"
Zhou Yun'er is so stingy, if she knew they were talking about her here, she would definitely find a way to torment them!
"It's okay." Chu San smiled and said, "Miss Qin, if you and Sister Liu Ye really don't want to go, I can help you inquire about why the palace came to you."
"Mr. Chu, do you even know people from the palace?"
"Haha, it can't be regarded as acquaintance, just some connections." Chu San said cheerfully, "I am also a businessman. I have been to the capital several times. After all, I know some people. I want to inquire about this matter. It’s not difficult.”
"Okay! Let's go over and talk to A Liu now!" Qin Lian was excited for a moment and pulled Chu San towards the hall.
Just as she set off, she saw Liu Yuan coming back from the gate, followed by Zhang Shan, the loser.
Seeing her and Chu San, Liu Yuan's unattractive face immediately darkened, and he stepped forward and said, "What are you doing?"
Being stared at by him, Qin Lian subconsciously let go of her hand, "No, I didn't do anything. I just have something to ask Mr. Chu. What does it have to do with you?"
