Chapter 221 Going Out for Help
"How's Xu Banxian doing?" Su Qingwan asked.
Speaking of Xu Banxian, Qingda felt that he was almost pissed off to death by this money-obsessed old man.
"Although there was a small accident, fortunately we managed to make it in time. The talisman paper has been handed over to the Second Madam's people." Qing Da said helplessly.
"I just asked him to deliver a piece of talisman paper, what kind of accident could happen?" Su Qingwan asked curiously.
When Qingda heard her question, he immediately said, "Xu Banxian went to check the Feng Shui of a house and almost missed Yang Laoliu's carriage."
So that’s it!
Su Qingwan's smile deepened. Xu Banxian was also from Qinglin Village, and his status in Qinglin Village was not low. He used to be a military advisor. He was very good at fooling people with his mouth.
"It's good that you caught up. You can go down now." Su Qingwan asked Qingda to leave.
The night passed very peacefully, and no screams were heard in the mansion. Xiao Kang kept her eyes open, not daring to fall asleep, for she was afraid that Campbell would come looking for her.
But until the dawn, nothing she was worried about happened, so she finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep.
……
"Second Miss, you are going to marry our prince in the future. The walking posture is very important. You must be steady and dignified, not put your feet too hard, and the size of your steps must be moderate. Look at the steps you just took. I really can't bear to watch. Please walk again!"
The governess nanny arranged by Concubine Shu said expressionlessly.
The nanny has said the word "walk again" no less than fifty times.
Su Yunrou did as she was told. It was easy at first, but as she walked back and forth more often, her feet began to hurt.
"Madam Song, the second young lady is already tired. Why don't she take a rest before continuing?" Zijuan watched Su Yunrou walking around the yard again and again, feeling anxious.
The two maids arranged by Concubine Shu were clearly trying to make things difficult for the Second Young Miss, especially Maid Song. She accepted a lot of tips but continued to act as usual.
Nanny Song glanced at Zijuan, rolled her eyes, and said to Su Yunrou:
"Second Miss, your wedding with our prince is coming soon, but you have been practicing for so many days and you still can't even walk properly. You are not anxious, but I, your servant, am anxious!"
"Okay, let's practice again in the afternoon. You can think about it carefully by yourself."
Nanny Song patted her clothes, bowed to Su Yunrou, and retreated.
As soon as she left, Zijuan hurried over and supported Su Yunrou, "Miss, please go back to the room and rest for a while. I will massage your legs for you."
Su Yunrou hadn't said a word just now, but her hand holding the handkerchief was clenched tightly.
A hateful nanny who thinks she has the support of Concubine Shu, really thinks she can't do anything to them.
But what matters now is her marriage to Prince Rui. If this issue is not resolved, she will really become Prince Rui's Consort.
She suppressed her anger and let Zijuan help her into the house to rest.
"Go out for a while and tell King Qi about my situation, but don't deliberately let King Qi think that you are going to find him, understand?" Su Yunrou said.
She couldn't leave the mansion now, so Zijuan had to go out.
"Don't worry, Miss. I know what to do!" Zijuan said hurriedly.
It is not good for the Second Miss to be trapped in the Marquis' Mansion like this, especially since the two governesses are always finding fault with her. Zijuan wishes that these two people could get out of the Mansion as soon as possible!
When the second young lady becomes the Princess of Qi in the future, I will be the most favored maid around her.
Zijuan received the task and then left.
As soon as she left, Liu came to see Su Yunrou.
"Yunrou, are you tired today?" Liu looked at Su Yunrou with pity and did not let her stand up to greet her.
"It's OK, but my feet are a little sore."
Su Yunrou answered, and at this moment a young maid was gently massaging Su Yunrou's legs.
"You go down first." Su Yunrou asked the maid to leave. After watching her leave, she asked Liu, "Is there any solution?"
Mrs. Liu sighed.
"Someone came from the palace today and said that the wedding should not be overly extravagant and that all matters should be kept simple. I'm afraid it won't work if we want to postpone it."
Su Yunrou didn't expect that the palace would be so anxious. In order to allow her to marry Prince Rui, they actually asked for a simple wedding. This was simply an insult to her.
"Yun Rou, I'm afraid you are really going to marry Prince Rui." Liu said.
If Prince Rui was still as handsome and handsome as before, and a prince who won the emperor's favor, she would be eager to let Yun Rou marry him as soon as possible.
But now is different from the past. If Yunrou marries him now, it would be like jumping into a fire pit!
"Mom, don't worry, there is always a way." Su Yunrou said this, but the feeling of uneasiness in her heart was slowly growing.
She couldn't marry King Rui, absolutely not!
After Zijuan left the Marquis' Mansion, she visited several shops before going to the teahouse she had been to before.
"Boss, has this year's golden orchid fragrance arrived?" Zijuan asked.
The shopkeeper knew Zijuan, "Miss Zijuan is here, please take a seat. The Jinlanxiang was just delivered yesterday and was about to be sent to the second young lady. I didn't expect you to come today."
Zijuan didn't say much. She knew that this teahouse was already the property of King Qi, and she thought that she would be able to meet King Qi soon.
Jin Lanxiang brought it quickly, Zijuan paid the money and went out.
She had only walked three blocks when she was stopped.
"Miss, my master wants to see you."
Zijuan recognized the person who stopped her. He was the attendant of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. She nodded, followed the man and entered a library.
Zijuan was led all the way and after many twists and turns, she finally met the King of Qi.
"This servant greets His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi."
"How is your young lady doing these days?" asked the King of Qi.
After that meeting, Su Yunrou never left the palace again, and he was reprimanded by the emperor and could only stay in the palace for a few days.
"Your Highness, my young lady...my young lady..." Zijuan pursed her lips, looking like she was about to cry.
"What happened to your young lady?" King Qi asked hurriedly.
"Our young lady is getting married to Prince Rui soon. Concubine Shu has arranged for a nanny to come to the Marquis's residence to teach the second young lady. The young lady has become so thin from all the hard work these days. Just before I left today, the nanny had asked the second young lady to practice walking back and forth."
"I saw that the Second Young Miss was walking very well, but Nanny Song said that it was not okay, and she forced my Young Miss to walk so hard that she almost fell down..."
Zijuan's tears fell as she spoke. She didn't dare to look at King Qi's expression, but she thought he must be very angry because he even clenched his fists.
"How can this be possible!" the King of Qi shouted angrily.
He grew up in the palace, so he naturally knew the methods used to punish people in the palace. He didn't expect that the vicious woman Shufei would use this method on Yunrou. It was really hateful.
"Your Highness, calm down!" Zijuan quickly knelt down, "Your Highness, please just pretend you don't know about this. Our young lady has told me not to tell you about her affairs."
