The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

Jingying knew what was going on immediately after hearing this. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and said, "It must be Master Jiang who released her mother! And he didn't allow them to return to the Yao family. They had no choice but to become maids for others!"

When she said this, Jingying couldn't help but shudder!

Yao Bilian and her daughter only forced the little village girl to break off the engagement, but Jiang Yaonian locked them up in jail for half a year, and after they were released, they were homeless and had to work as servants to earn a living... If he knew that I had harmed that little village girl, wouldn't he use even more cruel means to deal with me? !

When Jingying thought of this, she secretly decided to make good use of this unlucky mother and daughter! Not only to make them her accomplices in the Yao Mansion, but also to get rid of them afterwards so as to eliminate the trouble forever!

She asked softly, "Has Lord Yao agreed to attend His Highness' birthday party?"

Li Jian said calmly: "Still not."

Jingying frowned and asked, "Why?"

Li Jian said: "It's not possible to get too close to the eldest prince in private, so as not to be considered by the emperor as secretly taking sides in the fight for the throne."

"But Yao Yuntao is the leader of the civil servants and the Censor-in-Chief. If he refuses to express his opinion, the other officials will just wait and see... The eldest prince's plan will not be able to go forward!" Jingying analyzed calmly.

Li Jian asked: "What should we do then?"

Jingying smiled and said, "There is no good solution, but didn't you just say that Yao Bilian is now a maid in the Yao family? We can start with her to achieve the goal of getting Yao Yuntao to stand on our side!"

……

In the backyard of the Yao residence, the maid Lanxiang whispered to Madam Yao, "Madam, I heard from Xiujuan and the others that the second son of Minister Li's family actually knows Hong Aiyu, the swill carrier, and he even calls her the second young lady!"

Mrs. Yao asked in confusion, "Really? The Li family has lived in the capital for generations. Didn't Hong Aiyu and her daughter escape to the capital from other provinces? How do they know each other?"

Lan Xiang nodded and said, "Yes! According to Xiu Juan, the two of them clearly knew each other before and were very familiar with each other, but Hong Ai Yu obviously didn't want to mention it and left without saying a word."

Madam Yao said, "Call her mother over here, and I'll ask her what's going on."

"Yes."

Lanxiang turned and went out.

When Li heard that Madam Yao wanted to see her, she couldn't help feeling uneasy, fearing that the fish noodle incident had made her suspicious of Bilian!

She followed Lanxiang all the way to the upper living room, and after greeting Mrs. Yao, she asked very docilely, "I wonder why the lady called me here?"

Madam Yao looked at her and asked, "Do you know the second son of Minister Li of the Ministry of Revenue?"

Li was shocked when she heard this, and wondered why she suddenly asked herself this question. Could it be that her and Bilian's identities were exposed?

Li lowered his head and said nothing, thinking urgently about how to answer this question...

After a while, she raised her head and said, "Madam, when I and my daughter first arrived in the capital, we worked in Prince Jing's mansion for a while, responsible for delivering messages and things in the Western Garden. At that time, Master Li often went to the mansion to visit Princess Jingying, so we got to know each other after a few visits."

In order to avoid being recognized by Princess Jingying again in the future, Li simply brought both of them along this time!

After listening to this, Madam Yao asked with great interest, "Does that Mr. Li know Princess Jingying well?"

Because Mr. Li has been visiting the Yao Mansion frequently recently, Mrs. Yao knows about this person.

Li replied very cautiously: "The two are as close as siblings! Princess Jingying often asks Master Li for small favors."

This answer is very clever.

It shows that the two of them have close contacts, but does not directly state that they have any private affair. Even if they have any romantic feelings in the future, it is very reasonable. After all, they are as close as brothers and sisters. They can attack when they advance and defend when they retreat. There is nothing wrong with it.

Madam Yao continued to ask, "I heard that Master Li called your daughter the Second Miss. What's going on?"

Li quickly denied it, "Maybe the maids heard it wrongly, it's not true!"

Madam Yao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, it's alright, you can go down."

"Yes."

Li respectfully left the living room.

It was not until she walked out of the yard of the upper house that she breathed a sigh of relief!

Fortunately, she was able to improvise and smooth things over, otherwise the truth would have been exposed because of this small matter!

No, she must find a chance to talk to Li Jian and ask him to keep the true identities of her and her daughter a secret!

Before she could take any action, Li Jian came to her door.

The next day, a maid suddenly came to Li and said, "Sister Huang, your nephew is looking for you outside the gate. He said something happened at your mother's house and asked you to go back with your daughter."

Li was stunned after hearing this, "Nephew?"

She was sold to the He family as a maid when she was young, so where did her nephew from her mother's side come from?

Li agreed and went to the door. She saw a strange man approaching and said, "Aunt, my grandma is sick. My father wants you and your cousin to go back!"

Li looked at the man in confusion, and the man whispered, "Princess Jingying wants to see you."

Li suddenly realized what was going on and hurriedly shouted, "Wait a moment, I'll go in and ask your cousin to come with me!"

She went to the back house, explained the reason to the housekeeper, then took Bilian and left with the man.

The man brought them to the elegant pavilion of Yunlai Restaurant. Jingying had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw Li, she smiled and said, "Madam Yao, congratulations on being released!"

Li said in a deep voice: "What does the princess mean? If it weren't for you, would we mother and daughter be locked up?"

Jingying smiled and said, "Madam Yao, you have wronged me! In fact, I have always wanted to rescue you and your daughter, but Mr. Jiang's power is too great. Without his order, no one can visit you in prison! Not to mention getting you out! Although I do have some connections, I can't compare with the Jiang family, so please forgive me!"

As she spoke, she handed over a banknote and said, "Although I cannot rescue you and your daughter from prison, this banknote can show my gratitude a little bit!"

Li reached out and took the banknote.

Although she was very resentful of Jingying for causing her to go to jail, the incident had already passed, so she might as well ask for some money as compensation. After all, what the mother and daughter needed most now was money, otherwise they would not have gone to the Yao family to become servants.

After Li put away the banknotes, she asked Jingying, "The princess specially asked us mother and daughter to come out today. What's the matter?"

"That's great! Madam Yao is really a smart person!" Jingying looked at her with ill intentions and smiled, "But I don't know what you want to do by going to the Yao family?"
