Qin Lian pursed her lower lip, knowing that she was just an ordinary citizen and had no right to care about the affairs of the princess and the consort. But seeing Li Wanwan's arrogant attitude, she thought about Princess Anyang who could only lie in bed to recuperate. , Qin Lian was so angry.
But they are not qualified to take care of it...
Facing Su Liuye's confused gaze, Qin Lian sighed, "It's nothing...A Liu, let's go to bed early."
It was very cold at night in winter. Even though there was a charcoal stove burning in the room, we still heard the whistling wind from time to time, which made us feel cold.
Qin Lian lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
Seeing this, Su Liuye also knew that Qin Lian was unwilling to use more hands.
The maid had already helped them tidy up the side room, and Su Liuye simply freshened up and went to bed.
Early the next morning, Su Liuye woke up and found that it had snowed outside all night, and the ground was covered in white.
She put on thick clothes and went to visit Princess Anyang. Princess Anyang was not in good spirits today. When Su Liuye passed by, she happened to meet Yu Qiao.
Yu Qiao told her that Princess Anyang was still resting because it was cold today and Princess Anyang's old illness had relapsed, making it inconvenient to see guests.
Su Liuye didn't bother him.
Seeing that she had time today, she told Aunt Yang that there was nothing she needed help with in the princess's mansion, so she took Qin Lian out, just in time to go back to the house to deal with some things.
"Lianlian, I'm going back first, and I'll leave these things to you."
"Don't worry, Aliu, I know how to do it!"
Qin Lian waved to her, followed the cleared path on the street to the market, and bought many supplies needed for the New Year. These things should have been bought in advance, but Su Liuye only bought part of them when he went to the princess's mansion today.
When she was almost busy, Qin Lian went to a restaurant on the street to rest with her big and small bags. Just after eating some noodles, there was movement from the door. She turned around and saw that the person entering the door was Liu Yuan.
Qin Lian recognized him at a glance, and her face turned dark.
Liu Yuan seemed to know that she was here early on. After entering the door, he walked directly to sit in front of her and unceremoniously picked up the tea on the table and poured a cup.
Qin Lian got angry when she saw him, "What are you doing here!? Why are you drinking my tea!"
Liu Yuan drank the tea in one breath, with some resentment in his eyes, "You still want to ask me? I was busy for two days before I went back, but Uncle Zhou told me that you were not here and that I would stay outside for a few days before coming back. I I came out to find you today. It seems that we are quite destined." As he said that, he smiled again and looked at Qin Lian with burning eyes.
Qin Lian was upset by him and didn't want to talk to him.
She brought Liu Yuan here just because Liu Yuan had saved her. It was already late at that time, so she could not drive Liu Yuan away.
For several days in a row, this person has not moved away, and she has not chased him away. Uncle Zhou is also a hospitable person. He invites Liu Yuan to dine in the hall every time, and Qin Lian cannot keep saying that he is driving him away. Hanging on the ear.
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "Didn't you say before that you would help us deal with the Fifth Princess? What else is important? If you handle this matter, the Fifth Princess will not come to harass us again. Is this what you have been busy with these days?"
She hadn't seen Liu Yuan for several days. This was the first time they had met in the past few days. She thought Liu Yuan had left.
"Of course it's taken care of." Liu Yuan said with a smile in his eyes, "I originally wanted to tell you at the house, but Uncle Zhou said you were out, so I came out specifically to find you."
"How's it going? Have you finished eating? If you finish eating, I'll let you go and see."
"What are you looking at?"
Qin Lian said as she finished the noodle soup in front of her quickly, "Let's go! I'll go take a look!"
If the Fifth Princess could really take charge of Zhou Yun'er, she and Su Liuye wouldn't have to worry so much.
Liu Yuan's smile worsened, but he calmly asked the child to serve him another bowl of hot noodle soup.
Without waiting for Qin Lian to question, he smiled and said, "I've been hungry all day today. Let's go there after I finish eating."
Seeing what he said, Qin Lian glared at him, but didn't say anything.
When Liu Yuan finished eating, he paid the money and took Qin Lian outside to find a carriage.
The two of them went all the way to another restaurant. This restaurant was more upscale and luxuriously decorated. People who came in and out were all wearing luxurious clothes.
Qin Lian followed him to Sanlu's wing. When she entered the door, she saw a middle-aged man dressed as a butler sitting inside and waiting.
Seeing Liu Yuan coming, the man immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Liu, you are here."
"Executive, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
Executive family?
Upon hearing this title, Qin Lian's eyes flickered, and some understanding flashed in her eyes as she looked at the middle-aged man.
No wonder she thought this person looked familiar. It turned out to be the executive family who came to the town to look for Zhou Yun'er before, and he was from the Fifth Prince's Mansion!
"Miss Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time." The housekeeper's memory was obviously better than hers. When he saw Qin Lian, he smiled and held his hands.
"Executive family, long time no see."
Qin Lian still couldn't come to her senses. She glanced at Liu Yuan doubtfully, wondering why he wanted to find Butler Liu.
Butler Liu was a pretty good person. When Zhou Yun'er wanted to slander them, Butler Liu stopped him and gave Su Liuye a jade pendant. The jade pendant belongs to the fifth princess. If Zhou Yun'er wants to cause trouble for them in the future, this jade pendant can help them.
"Mr. Liu, I'm really sorry. I have been busy with family affairs a few days ago, and I also went out for a trip. When I came back, I saw a letter from Mr. Liu." The executive said, "I replied immediately after seeing the letter. I hope I didn’t delay Young Master Liu.”
“Executives are making strong statements.”
Liu Yuan acted like a handsome nobleman in front of others. He cupped his hands with the executive and extended his hand to ask him to sit down.
Liu Yuan didn't waste any time and went straight to the point, "When I first came to the capital, I heard that the Five Princes' Mansion had found its long-lost princess, but after asking around, it seems that this princess is not the princess of the Five Princes' Mansion."
As soon as he said this, the executives and Qin Lian looked at him in surprise.
Qin Lian really didn't expect that he would tell the truth so directly, without beating around the bush at all.
The executive was surprised for a while before he came back to his senses. His voice was trembling when he spoke, "Mr. Liu, what do you mean by this? Our princess was found by the palace after a long search, and -"
"Executive, I know what you want to say."
Liu Yuan raised his head to interrupt him, and took out a dragon-patterned jade pendant from his sleeve pocket, "Look at the quality and workmanship of this jade pendant. Does it look like the one in the hands of your princess?"
When the executive heard this, he quickly picked up the jade pendant and checked it.
The more he looked, the more shocked he looked.
