Zhao Xueqing obviously had a lot of money, but she pretended to be poor in front of the people.

He deliberately took his jewelry and sold it to raise money for his family's funeral arrangements.

Old lady Li, whose only granddaughter was killed by Zhao Hou, was truly penniless and could only beg.

And after the death of Zhao Hou and his son, Mrs. Li's wish was fulfilled.

In addition, her body was exhausted.

Three days after the death of Zhao Hou and his son, she also passed away peacefully.

Mrs. Li has no relatives to help with funeral arrangements.

Fang Ling then used money to arrange for someone to take care of Mrs. Li's funeral.

Now, out of the greed in her heart, Zhao Xueqing pretends to be poor and pitiful in front of the people to win their sympathy.

Fang Ling looked meaningfully at Zhao Xueqing who was kneeling on the ground.

Seeing blood oozing from her forehead, I felt that she was not pitiful enough.

She should be allowed to taste what it's like to be truly penniless and unaccompanied.

When the people saw Princess Jing coming out, they did not immediately help Zhao Xueqing up.

Then some people began to complain about Zhao Xueqing.

"Princess, Miss Zhao is a good and filial girl.

And she didn't do anything wrong.

Don't deserve to be treated like this. "

"Yes, Princess.

I have always heard that you are generous and kind-hearted.

Zhao Xueqing is your maid. You cannot drive her out of the palace just because her father and brother have done something wrong. "

The people expressed their opinions one after another and helped Zhao Xueqing speak.

Chunmei couldn't stand hearing it anymore and scolded the people loudly.

"She herself wants to kneel in front of the mansion and kowtow.

It's not like the princess wants to punish her.

Besides, Zhao Xueqing is just a slave beside the princess.

The princess can even sell her out at any time depending on her mood.

Just because she pretended to be pitiful and kowtowed in front of the palace today to gain sympathy, you misunderstood our princess.

He can already be regarded as a unruly slave.

Based on this, how could she still have the dignity to stay in the palace?

He should be beaten and then sold to be considered peaceful. "

As soon as Chunmei's words came out, Zhao Xueqing immediately cried and begged for mercy.

"It's a slave, isn't it?

But the slave just wanted to apologize, and had no intention of gaining sympathy or tarnishing the reputation of the princess. "

As she spoke, she kowtowed again.

The people watching did not dare to speak anymore, but their eyes were still full of sympathy when they looked at Zhao Xueqing.

At this time Fang Ling spoke,

"You said you were guilty. Why do you think you are guilty? Please tell me in detail."

When Zhao Xueqing heard the princess' question, she stopped kowtowing and whispered:

"My father and brother did something wrong, and the evidence of the crime was found out by the princess.

The slave is afraid that the princess will blame the slave for the fault of her father and brother.

Therefore, I apologized on my own. "

Fang Ling chuckled after hearing this.

"What you said is strange.

According to what you said, your father and brother have done evil things.

I have to reward you to be magnanimous.

Otherwise, if I have any dissatisfaction with you, it will be because of your father and brother. "

Zhao Xueqing was stunned and continued to argue,

"That's not what I meant, slave."

"Then what do you mean?

You suffered miserably in front of the people and took advantage of their simplicity and kindness so that you could do whatever you wanted after you re-entered the palace.

As the master, I can’t have any punishment or dissatisfaction with you?

Otherwise, I'm just using my power to bully others, being petty and taking the opportunity to retaliate?

So even if your father and brother have done evil things, they can become your amulet.

You are really good at calculating.

Tell me, is it as I said? "

Fang Ling was right to the point.

Zhao Xueqing was surprised by the princess's keen awareness.

But she won't admit it.

Without any hesitation, she shook her head like a rattle.

"No, I don't mean this.

The slave had just lost his family for a while, was helpless, and was very frightened.

Therefore, things were done out of proportion.

Please forgive me, Princess."

She looked pitiful and ignorant again.

The people watching felt another burst of sympathy.

"In my opinion, Miss Zhao is simple, how can the princess be so scheming?

The princess just thinks too badly of other girls. "

"you do not say?

Miss Zhao is just a slave. Even if she borrows ten courages, she would not dare to plot against the superior princess. "

The people still stood by Zhao Xueqing's side.

Chunmei and Xia Zhu listened to the people's comments and were so angry that they wanted to call the guards and forcefully disperse the crowd of onlookers.

However, they also know that if they use violence against the people.

Then, there will definitely be unfavorable rumors spreading among the people.

In this way, it would really be in line with Zhao Xueqing's wishes.

Fang Ling didn't panic.

She took a step forward, walked to Zhao Xueqing, reached out and helped her up personally.

"You get up and talk first."

When Zhao Xueqing saw this, she was instantly ecstatic.

But it doesn't show on the face.

If the princess was willing to help her up in person, that would be a compromise.

As long as she can rejoin the palace as an errand, she will still have a chance.

"Thank you, Princess.

From now on, the slave will definitely serve the princess even more wholeheartedly. "

Fang Ling curled her lips,

"I heard that you pawned all the jewelry you were wearing in order to hold funerals for your parents and brother?"

Zhao Xueqing lowered her head,

"Yes, Princess.

Although, my father and brother did something wrong.

But they have left.

As their only relative in the world, the only thing I can do is to do my best to send them on their last journey. "

"So, you are penniless now?"

Fang Ling asked slowly.

"Yes, princess."

Zhao Xueqing replied.

Fang Ling nodded, very satisfied with her answer.

She just wanted Zhao Xueqing to emphasize again in front of the people that she was penniless.

In this case, when she is really penniless, she won't even have a place to cry.

"Miss Zhao is a person who values ​​friendship. It's really not easy."

Some people lamented.

Fang Ling turned to a concerned tone and asked:

"In that case, do you need me to pay you a few months' wages in advance?"

When Zhao Xueqing heard this, she was so excited that she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

But she knew not to show her true emotions too obviously.

She forcibly suppressed the raised corners of her mouth again, and then made a gesture to kneel down.

Fang Ling stretched out her hand to hold her.

"Don't kneel down all the time. I'm not the kind of harsh person."

Zhao Xueqing stood up straight,

"As long as the princess can take in the slave again, it will be a great blessing for the slave.

In the palace, there is food and shelter, and the slaves do not need to pay their wages in advance. "

The common people were happy for Zhao Xueqing when they saw that she could serve as a servant in the palace again.

"It's great, Miss Zhao can finally return to the palace again.

It wouldn't be too pitiful to have a place to settle down. "

"Yes, and Miss Zhao is also contented.

The princess promised to pay her wages in advance, but she refused.

If it were me, I would definitely be happy to accept it, so I wouldn't refuse it. "

“In that case, it’s up to you.

From now on, you can just work by my side as usual. "

Fang Ling continued to speak pleasantly.
