“Who are you?

How do you know these inside stories?

How do we know if you are telling the truth?

Aren't you also a close confidant of Princess Jing?"

The tea drinkers looked at Zhou Ruolan with inquiring eyes and asked a series of questions.

Ouyang Liuli was furious when she heard this.

“You keep questioning what other people say.

But how much inside information do you know?

Taking a step back, even if you don't know the inside story, you shouldn't make malicious assumptions about Princess Jing.

Ask yourselves, have Prince Jing and Princess Jing done anything bad to the people after they returned to Yunzhou?

On the contrary, they are always considering the people's livelihood.

Building schools, developing high-quality seeds, reclaiming wasteland, and punishing corrupt officials, can't you see these?"

"One yard owned by a yard.

Princess Jing is really good to us common people.

But she is a woman after all, so it is possible that she is jealous.

That’s not a conflict, is it?”

someone retorted.

At the same time, many people nodded in agreement.

Ouyang Liuli was so angry that she wanted to whip him again.

Zhou Ruolan hurriedly said loudly to the tea drinkers:

"I am Zhou Ruolan, the daughter of Governor Zhou."

As soon as these words came out, the tea drinkers all fixed their eyes on Zhou Ruolan.

"The daughter of Governor Zhou is the daughter of Governor Zhou who surrendered himself to the government office for corruption."

Although Zhou Ruolan also didn't like everyone's gazes.

But in order to make things clear for Princess Jing.

She withstood the pressure and looked at everyone with a firm gaze.

"Yes, I am the daughter of Governor Zhou who went to the Yunzhou government office to confess his crime yesterday.

Therefore, selfishly speaking, it is impossible for me to intentionally speak well of Princess Jing.

I will only say what is fair.”

“That’s true.

Why don’t you tell me why Miss Zhao was detained?

Isn't it because Princess Jing is intolerant? "

Zhou Ruolan said with a serious expression:

“The princess is not an ordinary woman, and she is not a jealous person.

What's more, Zhao Xueqing is not liked by the prince at all in the palace.

The prince had long wanted to send Zhao Xueqing out of the palace.

So the princess had no reason to be jealous of a woman who posed no threat to her.

The reason why Zhao Xueqing was sent to the government office and detained was because she wanted to murder the prince and the princess.

She has it all her own fault.”

The tea drinkers tend to believe what Zhou Ruolan said.

After all, everyone knew that Zhou Ruolan had sold herself into Prince Jing's Mansion together with Zhao Xueqing.

In addition, although Zhou Ruolan's father went to the yamen to surrender himself, there must have been pressure from Prince Jing behind the scenes, which made him submit.

Therefore, according to normal logic, Princess Jing should be Zhou Ruolan's enemy.

Princess Jing's enemies are all speaking well of her.

That only goes to show that Princess Jing is also a very nice person in private.

“It seems that we have misunderstood Princess Jing.

Although Miss Zhao is a filial daughter, it cannot be ruled out that she has no ambitions.

Wanting to be Prince Jing's concubine, or even wanting to replace Prince Jing's wife, is indeed wishful thinking.

In the end, he even became so angry and humiliated that he wanted to poison the prince and princess.

Then her detention really doesn’t deserve any sympathy.”

For a moment, everyone began to blame Zhao Xueqing.

Seeing this result, Ouyang Liuli breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhou Ruolan with gratitude.

Afterwards, he paid the bill and left the teahouse amid the tea drinkers' accusations against Zhao Xueqing.

Zhou Ruolan is no longer a slave in the palace, and her indenture has been taken back.

Now she lives with her mother in Qian's family.

Although, grandparents were a little unhappy with their sudden return home.

But after all, they are blood relatives. Although they complained, they still arranged for them to live in a separate courtyard.

However, the money for daily expenses still needs to be earned by the mother and daughter themselves.

In fact, the Qian family is considered a wealthy family.

There is still enough money to support Qian's mother and daughter.

However, Qian used all her dowry to pay the fine to Governor Zhou.

Not only did she return to her parents' home penniless, but her son-in-law was also a corrupt official.

The Qian family felt that the Qian family had brought shame to their family.

Being able to take them in was already a concession made out of blood ties.

It is even more impossible to support them.

After leaving the teahouse, Zhou Ruolan bowed to Princess Liuli and said:

"I'm going back."

Ouyang Liuli also has some understanding of her current situation.

Just as Zhou Ruolan turned around and prepared to leave, Ouyang Liuli called her.

“Thank you very much today.

Otherwise, tea drinkers would not be willing to believe what I say.

Your Majesty, the reputation of the princess among the people is extremely important, and you have done a great service today."

As he spoke, Ouyang Liuli looked at Yanzhi behind him.

"Give Miss Zhou three hundred taels of silver."

"Yes, princess."

Yanzhi responded and took out the silver bill from her sleeve pocket.

Zhou Ruolan quickly declined.

"It is the greatest gift that the princess can return my indenture to me and set me free.

I have done wrong things before, and the princess is doing me a favor by not holding it against me.

I just told some truths in front of everyone today, I don't dare to take credit for it."

Having said that, Zhou Ruolan turned around and was about to leave.

Princess Liuli refused to comply, and grabbed her arm and stuffed the banknote into her hand.

"How can I take back the money I gave you?

Besides, three hundred taels is nothing to this princess.

But considering your current situation and that of your mother, three hundred taels of silver can be of great help.

Just accept it."

After saying that, Ouyang Liuli turned around and walked away quickly without waiting for Zhou Ruolan to answer.

Zhou Ruolan held the banknote in her hand and her eyes became red.

In her eyes, Princess Liuli has always been proud and casual.

And he has a bad temper.

But today I am willing to give her money.

She was surprised, but more touched.

She just helped Princess Jing clarify a few things, but Princess Liuli was so grateful to her.

It seems that Princess Liuli has a very deep affection for Princess Jing.

The relationship between sisters with different surnames is even better than that between biological sisters. It is really enviable.

She looked down at the banknote in her hand, and then looked at Ouyang Liuli's receding back.

He bowed deeply to Ouyang Liuli.

In the end, he kept the banknotes.

This money can really be of great use to her.

She could even buy a small yard and live alone with her mother.

The remaining silver can sustain their livelihood for a period of time.

She wiped her tears and watched Ouyang Liuli walk away, looking back every few steps as she left.

As soon as Ouyang Liuli returned to the Prince's Mansion, she went to Yaxiangju.

Fang Ling was feeding Nuannuan and Dabai in the yard.

"Sister Ling, I'm back."

A clear and pleasant voice was heard, and Fang Ling knew without even looking that Ouyang Liuli had returned.

She fed the two big chicken legs to Dabai and Nuannuan respectively, then took the handkerchief from Chunmei and wiped her hands, and then looked at Ouyang Liuli.

"Are you going out to fight for me?"
