Princess Chaoyang looked at Su Yu and couldn't help laughing. It was interesting. It was really interesting. I thought he was a useless waste, but I didn't expect it.
"Pull her down and kill her with a cane."
"Princess, please spare your life, Princess, please spare your life!"
The maid was being pulled by two guards, and her voice gradually faded away.
When Princess Chaoyang said the word "death with a stick", Su Yu frowned slightly, and then relaxed. She felt so sorry for her maid.
Speaking of "killing with a stick," all the ladies knew that Princess Chaoyang was in an extremely bad mood at this time. Princess Chaoyang liked to kill people when she was in a bad mood, but the people she killed were all slaves in her own house. Every year, the servants in the eldest princess's house A few people will disappear, and the government will have no control over her.
It is true that no censor has impeached Princess Chaoyang before. However, the slaves in the eldest princess's mansion are slightly different from those in other mansions. Except for those who serve closely, most of the third- and fourth-level servants are guilty. They are slaves purchased directly from the government by the eldest princess’s palace. These people themselves are guilty. If it weren’t for the eldest princess’s palace coming forward to buy them into the palace, most of them would have been exiled to the border. People like this are in Kyoto City. No one cared about whether he died or not. The impeachment of the censor was only a matter of thunder and rain, and then the matter was settled.
"We're tired today, let's end the banquet here."
After the maid was pulled away, the atmosphere in the place became a little stiff. Among these ladies, there were also the prince's daughters. In terms of favor, they were not as favored as Chaoyang in front of the emperor, so they avoided his influence. But Chaoyang ordered a maid to be killed with a stick in front of them. More than half of the ladies from each family couldn't accept it, but they wouldn't plead for the maid.
Princess Chaoyang had already spoken, and the ladies from various families were leaving one after another. When Su Yu came out, the sky was already a little dark. It seemed that they would not be able to leave the city today, but fortunately, when they went out this morning, they followed My family has told me that I may not be able to go back today, but there is no need to worry about my family.
At the door of the mansion, Yin Jian was already waiting at the door.
After the two of them got on the carriage, the carriage drove directly to the small courtyard next to the Imperial College. Although the small courtyard was small, fortunately it had three rooms, which was enough for them to squeeze in.
When Su Yu came over, Su Sheng and Li Mu were eating in the kitchen. They heard the sound of a carriage outside the door, followed by a knock on the door. Li Mu quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks.
"Young master, you eat first, and I will go see who is coming."
When Li Mu came to the entrance of the courtyard, he looked out through the door and asked, "Who is it?"
Although the public security in Kyoto City is not too bad, it is not much better. You still have to be careful at night.
"it's me."
Li Mu recognized Yin Jian's voice and hurriedly opened the door.
"Why are you here, girl?"
Su Sheng, who was in the kitchen, heard Li Mu's words, put down the bowl and walked out of the kitchen. He saw Su Yu walking in from outside the courtyard, his eyes widened. This was his monkey-like sister.
"Brother, are you having dinner? Do you have much? Give me a bowl. I'm almost hungry."
Su Yu said that she went to the toilet to relieve herself first. Is it an easy day for her? She even held in her urine. She did not dare to go to the toilet alone in the eldest princess's mansion for fear that she would not be able to come back.
When Su Yu came to the kitchen, Su Sheng immediately asked.
"What's going on with you today? Why are you dressed like this? What time is it now, why are you still in the city?"
"Let's talk while we eat. I'm starving."
As he spoke, he took a pair of bowls and chopsticks and added a bowl of rice.
Su Yu didn't eat as much as Li Mu, but fortunately Mrs. Wu was quick with her hands and feet. When she saw some flour, she hurriedly kneaded the dough and asked Li Mu to help light the fire. It was so late at night that she cooked a bowl of noodles alone.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"Brother, do you still remember the Princess Chaoyang we met a few days ago? She posted a message at home asking me to attend her birthday party. It was already getting late when I came out, so I came to your place to take a rest. It’s late, I’ll go back tomorrow.”
"You went to Princess Chaoyang's banquet. Why didn't you tell me about this? Later I asked about Princess Chaoyang and I heard that she was a difficult person to get along with. Did she make things difficult for you?"
"Don't worry, who am I? How could anyone make things difficult for me?"
Su Yu didn't mention what happened in the eldest princess's mansion, and was very stubborn.
Su Sheng looked at it carefully and felt relieved when he saw that Su Yu didn't seem to be in trouble.
"Next time you have something to tell me, don't always shoulder everything by yourself. I'm your eldest brother. I'm five years older than you. I'm almost 20 now. I can also help with the household chores. Some."
Su Yu rolled his eyes and thought to himself, if you can understand the academic matters, I will already be burning incense and telling you about family matters. There is no need to study at the Imperial College and I can go home and farm directly.
This is not because Su Yu wants to belittle his eldest brother, Su Sheng is really not the smart type.
When Su Sheng saw Su Yu rolling his eyes, he couldn't help but sigh. He had to admit that it seemed like his sister told him that there was nothing he could do, and he couldn't go for his sister. Even if he knew, he could only worry.
"Aren't you going to a banquet? Why, the food at the banquet is not delicious?"
"I have learned a lot today. That dish is not meant for people to eat. When the dish was placed in front of me, it was cold. There was a circle of oil on the edge. I lost my appetite when I looked at it, so I couldn't eat it."
Seeing that his sister was really hungry, Su Sheng didn't say much and ate in silence. After finishing the meal, Su Yu took a change of clothes and went to the empty room. Li Mu had just made the bed. After changing the clothes on his body, he felt a lot more relaxed. Su Yu felt a little sorry for Kyoto. Aren't those ladies in the city tired from dressing like this all day long? She just couldn't stand it after wearing it for a long time.
After changing clothes, Su Yu went to Su Sheng's room, intending to look for a book to read, but flipping through it felt boring. There were just a bunch of books here, and she felt dizzy after reading them. Forget it, I still won’t watch it.
When I went out, I saw my eldest brother still reading in front of the desk, so I couldn't help but give him advice.
"Brother, it's better not to read at night, and pay more attention to your eyes."
"I'll go to bed after I finish reading this book. You go to bed first."
Su Yu glanced at the half-turned book in his eldest brother's hand and shook his head. It would take at least more than an hour to finish reading.
Wu and Su Yu shared a house, and they built a bunk on the floor next to Su Yu. There was a board on the floor, which was fine with a quilt spread on it. There was also a carbon basin in the house, and Yin Jian went to sleep in the same room as Li Mu.
Su Yu was lying on the bed, remembering that she had met Qing Lin just after coming out of Jinjia Village in the morning. Without saying much, he gave her a pamphlet and left. She curiously opened it and saw that it was written about the big and small matters of the eldest princess's house, as well as the habits and preferences of the eldest princess and Princess Chaoyang. That's why she found out that the maid was lying when the maid invited her to see the eldest princess today, and she was instigating the instructions from behind. There is no need to say who this person is.
