Furong has been with Mrs. Jingyuan Hou for many years, and she is also a smart person. Everything is as usual, and no one can see any clues.
A few days later, Qinglan came to see her again.
"Sister Furong."
Qinglan cried softly after seeing Furong.
"Qinglan, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister Furong, there was a thief in my family, and my parents are gone. I'm so pitiful. I have no father and no mother. Ugh."
Qinglan cried very sadly.
Furong had experienced fleeing from famine and had seen with her own eyes the plight of children who were separated from their parents or whose parents were starved to death, so she could understand Qinglan's feelings.
"Don't cry. Mom and dad are gone, but you still have to live well so that mom and dad can rest assured." Furong comforted Qinglan softly.
Qinglan stopped crying after a while, "Sister Furong, you won't dislike me, right?"
Furong was stunned, "Why do I dislike you?"
"Sister Furong, I have no relatives. The first time I saw you, I felt very kind. Can I accept you as my sister?"
Seeing Qinglan's helpless look, Fu Rong softened her heart.
They are all slaves, and the honor and disgrace of their lives rest on their masters. They are lucky to meet a kind master. If they meet a bad master, they will face the end of being bought and sold by Yapo at any time.
Her parents and brothers are all here, and life is going smoothly in the house, but no matter how good the wife is, she is still the master, and she also wants to have a close sister.
Not to mention, I met Qinglan twice, and the two of them got very angry.
"Okay, let's become god sisters."
When Qinglan saw that Fu Rong agreed, she was as happy as a child.
After this incident passed, Furong didn't tell her madam. Unconsciously, she always felt like there was something between her and her madam.
About two months later, Qinglan came again and asked her to go to the embroidery workshop to pick out some embroidery threads.
I met Qinglan a lot these days, and the two of them were getting closer and closer, so Furong and his wife took leave.
Wan Niang is not harsh on these girls, as long as they do things in a down-to-earth manner, especially for Furong, she is even more indulgent.
Furong left the house and saw Qinglan waiting there at the door of the shop.
"Sister, come with me." As she spoke, Qinglan came up and took Fu Rong's arm and entered the shop.
However, he took Furong to the private room upstairs. Furong didn't know what was going on, so he let her go.
Pushing open the door of the private room, Furong was stunned, because there was not only Princess Xian in the room, but also Prince Xian!
She had attended many banquets in the palace with her wife, so she knew Prince Xian well.
"Fu Rong is here, come in quickly." Princess Xian was as virtuous and easy-going as before.
"This slave has met the prince and the princess." Furong quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Princess, is this the Lotus from the same hometown as the nanny?" the wise king asked gently.
"Your Majesty, since the nanny passed away, I have been feeling uncomfortable. Thanks to Furong, she often comes to tell me interesting things about Huzhou, otherwise I would be bored." Princess Xian replied with a smile.
Prince Xian nodded.
Qinglan pulled up Furong and said with a smile: "Princess, I have been very happy since I recognized Furong as my sister."
Princess Xian covered her lips and smiled: "Qinglan's little mouth is always so sweet."
A woman next to her slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, this slave really deserves a beating! I forgot to go to Chen's shop to buy cakes for the young prince. How wonderful is this!"
When Princess Xian heard this, she was also very upset, "You said you forgot about things, but when Jing'er comes, be careful to slap you."
The mother-in-law quickly knelt down and said, "Please, Princess, please save this slave!"
Princess Xian glared at her mother-in-law and said, "Let Qinglan go. Qinglan has quick legs. You can wait outside."
The mother-in-law quickly retreated.
"Sister, please wait for me for a while, I'll go and come back." After Qinglan finished speaking, she exited the private room.
Fleur stood aside.
She didn't know what to say, and Princess Xian didn't say anything to let her go, so she could only close her mouth and remain silent.
Only Xian Wang, his wife and Furong were left in the private room.
Prince Xian put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "Fu Rong, are you the dowry of Mrs. Jingyuan Marquis?"
Furong was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and replied: "As for the prince, this slave has been with my wife since she was five years old."
Prince Xian nodded and then said: "Your family lives in Sanhe Village in Huzhou. My parents and brothers. Your brothers originally had three sons, but two of them died. Your younger brother and sister got sick and died of illness the year before last, leaving behind a child who was less than six years old. Right?"
Furong didn't know why the prince asked these questions, so she could only reply: "Back to the prince, yes."
"Fu Rong, I want you to do something for me, are you willing?"
this?
Fu Rong's face turned a little pale. She didn't know what she could do to help the wise king, so she could only say: "I am just a servant of the Marquis's mansion. What can I do for the prince?"
"Haha, actually you are already helping me."
Furong was confused and looked up at the wise king.
Seeing the stern look in King Xian's eyes, he was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.
"You and Qinglan are sisters. When chatting, you occasionally mentioned who has been to the Hou Mansion and who this person is. This information is enough for me, so you have been helping me."
Furong's feet staggered and she suddenly sat on the ground.
She is not a child who doesn't understand anything. Although she doesn't understand the situation in the DPRK, it doesn't mean that she doesn't know the rumors about the Queen Mother interfering in the affairs of the DPRK.
The Queen Mother is said to be very fond of the wise king.
Princess Xian looked at Fu Rong, who was sitting on the ground and shivering, and said slowly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty doesn't need you to do anything. Just tell Qinglan who comes to the Hou Mansion in the future. Your Majesty." I know that you have deep feelings for Mr. Hou, so I won’t embarrass you."
"No, please let me go!"
"Fu Rong, think about your family. You have already helped me. If the Hou Mansion finds out, the Hou Mansion will definitely not spare your life, and your family will also be implicated by you."
Princess Xian looked at Fu Rong, who had a lifeless look on her face, and added to her anger, "If you help the prince, he will definitely fulfill your wish."
Fleur suddenly raised her face.
"Won't your prince hurt my prince's life?"
"Why do I want to hurt the Marquis' life? Marquis Jingyuan is our hero in Daqi. I just want the Marquis to recognize some people. I will never harm the Marquis and the Marquis' mansion."
"You continue to help me. After the matter is over, I will ask the Queen Mother for a favor and give you to the Marquis as his equal wife."
When Furong heard this, her eyes lit up, "Pingqi?"
"When my mother offers you a marriage, Wan Niang will definitely nod. By then, Furong, you will have finally come to the end of your hardships. Haha, with another son and a half daughter, you will have hope in the future."
Princess Xian raised her hand and said with a smile.
Furong lowered her head. It was her biggest wish in her life to become the Marquis' woman, but after all these years, she had reached this age, and her wife refused to nod.
Madam had previously thought about choosing a good family for herself, but she only had the Marquis in her heart, so she and Madam swore not to marry for the rest of their lives.
Last time, Princess Xian said that it was her wife who stopped Mr. Hou from accepting her as his concubine.
The madam clearly knew that Mr. Hou was interested in her, and she still tried to stop him. The madam was targeting her and pretending to think highly of her. It was really disgusting!
Moreover, the wise king did not harm the Marquis and the Hou family, he just wanted to win over the Marquis.
In addition, the Queen Mother prefers Prince Xian, and the Prince and Prince Xian are drinking together. It is obvious that their friendship is good. If...
Furong just thought about it for a few breaths and then made up her mind.
