Princess, come home quickly, the God of War Prince is going to be jealous to death!

"Xuemei is taking care of things in the side courtyard. If you are bored, you can come with her."

"Okay, I'll go find Xuemei." After saying that, Ye Zhao bowed and walked towards the side courtyard.

Watching Ye Zhao walk away, Wen Zhiyue turned her head and looked at the little girl beside her, "Brother, where did you find this little girl? She is smart and sensible."

"I bought her from Renya." Wen Jingxiao glanced at the little girl and said calmly: "After receiving the letter from my cousin, I went to Renya and bought her back."

"Have you checked the registration deed?" Wen Zhiyue looked at Wen Jingxiao questioningly.

"I didn't check carefully before. After learning about Xue Yi, I asked someone to check again. She is from Tianyu. Her parents died in the flood the year before last. She was begging on the street alone and was raped. I cheated and sold them more than a dozen times, but in the end they were returned because I hurt the owner of the family."

"You were deceived, why didn't you try to escape?"

"Renya said that this little girl ran away five or six times and was caught every time. Moreover, Renyazi changed her status to a slave status at the government. If this little girl ran away, she would be sent back. Little girl Then I stopped running." Wen Jingxiao smiled lightly.

"Why did you hurt the head of the family?"

"This little girl doesn't want to serve others and can't do anything well. As soon as the buyer hits her, she seizes the opportunity to retaliate against the master. In Tianyu, killing slaves at will is punishable, so the buyer returns the human teeth ”

"Then how could she be willing to take care of Xuexiang?" Wen Zhiyue looked at Wen Jingxiao questioningly.

Wen Jingxiao couldn't answer for a while. The little girl next to her put down the basin in her hand, knelt on the ground, clasped her hands, and bowed to Wen Zhiyue and Wen Jingxiao, "My little girl is the daughter of the late Magistrate Hong."

"Hong County Magistrate, which county or city is Hong County Magistrate?" Wen Zhiyue helped the little girl up and looked at Wen Jingxiao.

"Two years ago, the Japanese state was instigated by Yue Huan and invaded the border between Tian and Yu. The city was destroyed in one day and all the men were slaughtered in two days. The women were raped, killed and framed. The roads in the city were filled with blood." The little girl said with tears in her eyes. Like rain, she wiped the tears from her eyes, "My little girl survived by hiding among the dead bodies."

"Since you survived, why didn't you go to Linxian County to report it? You could survive with the pension from your father's death, so why did you become a beggar?" Wen Zhiyue asked softly with an indifferent expression.

"My daughter went to Linxian County, but the magistrate of Linxian County arrested me as a liar on the grounds that all the Hong family members had died for the country. In the next few days, Tianyu's soldiers did not arrive, and the Japanese army became more unscrupulous, approaching the county seat of Linxian County. Two days later, when the county town was about to be destroyed, the princess dressed in red armor and beheaded the Japanese general, so that the people of Linxian County could survive. I and the prisoners in the prison took advantage of the chaos to escape from Linxian County." The little girl's eyes were red from crying. Red, it makes people feel a little sad to see it.

"Then how did you come to Kyoto?"

"After the little girl escaped, she begged on the streets of Linxian County for a few days. Then she heard from passers-by that the princess and the God of War Prince not only defeated the Japanese people, but also invaded the Japanese country and killed their generals." The little girl's eyes were red with a hint of redness. With a hint of light, after a moment, the light in her eyes was replaced by shame, "The little girl admired the princess and was grateful to the princess for avenging her father, so she begged all the way to Kyoto for a living. Before she arrived at the general's palace, she was beaten with teeth. I fainted, and when I woke up, I was sold to a wealthy businessman."

"I said that this little girl took special care of Xuexiang after she came to the General's Mansion." Wen Jingxiao looked at Wen Zhiyue with a smile, but saw Wen Zhiyue give him a fierce look. He suddenly realized that what he had just said He said something wrong and he covered his mouth not knowing how to round out his words.

The little girl's eyes turned, and she nodded and saluted, "Sir, miss, I know that the person in the main house is not the princess."

Looking at the two confused people, the little girl looked calm and said, "When I first came to take care of the girl, I found that the girl's hands were not only rough but also calloused. When the girl first came back, the imperial doctor came to treat her. The eldest son just followed the imperial doctor and asked questions. He seems to be considerate to the girl, but if you look carefully, you will find that the eldest son is not close to the girl."

The little girl rolled her eyes and looked around, then lowered her voice and continued: "The little girl has always wondered whether the person in the back room is a substitute. Today I saw the eldest son and the girl chatting happily, and the eldest son nodded every now and then. Touching the girl's forehead, I knew that she must be Princess Protector."

"If you say this, you know it will be detrimental to you." Wen Zhiyue's face was deep as she watched the little girl's movements and reactions.

"The princess is patriotic and loves her people. She will not argue with my daughter over such a trivial matter."

"The previous princess didn't have to argue with you, but the princess you see today will not let go of a suspicious person." As she said that, Wen Zhiyue took out the dagger from her sleeve, with murderous intent in her eyes, and she pulled it with her hand. Little girl, use a dagger to cut off a stroke of the little girl's hair.

Wen Jingxiao was frightened and looked solemn. His expression softened a little when he saw that the little girl only lost some hair.

"From today on, you are no longer the daughter of Magistrate Hong. Your name is Xuezhu. From now on, you will continue to take care of Xuexiang in the main house until Xuexiang recovers." Wen Zhiyue stared at the pale little girl and slowly pulled her hand. Keep distance.

"Why are you scared?" Wen Jingxiao patted the little girl's shoulder.

The little girl was startled, then regained consciousness, knelt on the ground, and bowed her hands to Wen Zhiyue, "Don't worry, girl, today Xuezhu knows his mistake. He will be careful in his words and actions in the future and will not cause trouble to the general's palace."

"Get up quickly. You are a smart child, and your temperament still needs to be tempered." Wen Zhiyue helped Xuezhu up.

"Girl, the side yard has been tidied up. Do you want to take a rest?" Xuemei came from not far away.

"Brother, I have been traveling for many days and I am a little tired, so I will rest first."

Looking at Wen Zhiyue who was a little tired, Wen Jingxiao nodded, waved his right hand to the side courtyard, and Wen Zhiyue left with a smile on her face.

"Yue'er just suffered a big disaster and managed to escape from death. Don't worry about it." Wen Jingxiao turned around and sighed softly.

"Xue Zhu understands what the eldest son said. It is indeed Xuezhu who doesn't understand the rules today."

As if thinking of something, Wen Jingxiao looked at Xuezhu, "As the daughter of the late Magistrate Hong, you are no longer suitable to be a maid in the general's palace. I will restore your civilian status tomorrow."

"The girl has already named the little girl. From today on, the little girl will be Xuezhu." After saying that, she ran away without looking back.

Wen Jingxiao looked at Xuezhu running into the main room, frowned, shook his head, and walked out of Qingya Courtyard.

In the side courtyard, Wen Zhiyue called Luo Chuan, "Tomorrow you will ask someone to investigate the matter of Magistrate Hong's daughter. See if anyone has received pensions after Magistrate Hong's family died in the country. Linxian County two years ago Who is he, what is his current position, and where does he live?"

"Yes." Luo Chuan took the order and left the side courtyard.

"Girl, your health is urgent, please rest soon." Xuemei made a bed for Wen Zhiyue, and after helping Wen Zhiyue lie down, she and Ye Zhao returned to the penthouse to prepare for rest.
