"Alright, I've already seen you, Grandmother. You can do whatever you want to do, whether you want to clear Li Shuangyan's name or not. I have to go back now. If I don't, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will start to complain."

After saying this, she ignored the stunned people in Songhe Hall, held her bulging belly, and walked away.

Xu's face looked really ugly. Ever since Miaomiao became the Crown Princess, she has become more and more arrogant.

But no matter how much she reminded her now, Miaomiao would not listen to her.

She had used that method to climb into the bed of His Royal Highness Prince Heng, and was severely punished by her when she came back.

Even when she married into Prince Heng's palace, she was not given any decent dowry.

She was carried away in a sedan chair.

Since entering Prince Heng's Mansion and now moving to the Eastern Palace, she has only returned once and has long since cut off contact with her family.

Oh, never mind. It won’t be long anyway. Just leave it to her for the time being.

Li Yuanqiao felt the gaze from behind again, as if it was staring at him.

Turning around, I saw a screen behind me, and behind the screen was the old lady's bedroom.

The bedroom door was closed, and I guessed that person was inside.

The feeling of being spied on became stronger and stronger.

Li Shuangwan also noticed that his brother was looking back frequently.

She looked up and saw that although the old lady's bedroom door was tightly closed, she knew that Fang Yuqian, her good sister-in-law in her previous life, must be looking at her through the crack in the door.

In this life, she will never have anything to do with her brother again.

Not long after Li Shuangmiao walked out of Songhe Hall, he saw someone stealthily sticking half of his head out of the corner and looking over here.

I was just so angry at Songhe Hall when I saw someone dare to be so unruly in the Duke's Mansion.

He shouted angrily: "Who is over there? Get out here!"

The figure shrank back in fear.

Li Shuangmiao ordered the eunuch behind him: "Go and bring the person to me."

After a while, the young eunuch picked up the trembling Qiao'er and threw her on the ground.

Qiao'er was so frightened that her face turned pale. She knelt on the ground, seeming to be holding something tightly in her arms.

"Keep your head up."

Qiao'er seemed extremely frightened. She shrank back and hugged the thing in her arms even tighter.

The young eunuch stepped forward, grabbed her hair and forced Qiao'er to raise her head.

"Qiao'er? I remember that you are Li Shuangxi's maid. What are you doing over there secretly? What are you holding in your arms? Give it to me!"

"No, nothing." Qiao'er quickly hid her hands behind her back.

She looked as if she was afraid that Li Shuangmiao didn't see that she was hiding something.

The young eunuch snatched the item, placed the jade pendant in his palm, and respectfully handed it to Li Shuangmiao with both hands: "Princess, look, this is a top-quality jade pendant."

Li Shuangmiao gently lifted the string of the jade pendant with one finger. It seemed familiar. He had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't quite remember.

But such a good thing could never be produced by Qiao'er, a concubine's servant.

He glanced at Qiao'er on the ground with cold eyes: "Tell me, where did you steal it from?"

Qiao'er hurriedly denied and shook her head.

The young eunuch slapped her in the face and said, "The Crown Princess is asking you a question, you little bitch, are you itching for trouble? You dare not even reply to the Crown Princess's question."

"It was not stolen by me. Even if I had a hundred guts, I would not dare to steal the masters' things."

"It's not that I don't want to reply to the Crown Princess, but, it's that I don't dare, I don't dare to say it."

Li Shuangmiao seemed to be interested: "I grant you innocence, answer your question properly."

The young eunuch grabbed Qiao'er's collar and pressed her straight, making her kneel down.

Another young eunuch brought a chair.

Yi Qing supported Li Shuangmiao, helped her sit down, and then went to see Qiao'er.

Although her face was filled with fear, there was clearly no fear in her eyes.

Instead, I feel like I'm ready to die.

She felt that the Crown Princess was being used by the Third Lady as a fool.

Looking around secretly, this place is in the corridor leading out of Songhe Hall. The old lady has always disliked the servants of the Duke's Mansion, and usually only brought servants from Shengjing to serve her.

But perhaps he was in time this time, so he only brought a few servants, who were all serving in the front hall.

At this time, there are not many people here.

It seems that the third girl also knows that the Crown Princess is stupid enough, so she really doesn't want to think of any troublesome tricks to deal with her.

Yi Qing whispered in Li Shuangmiao's ear, "Crown Princess, this is the Duke's Mansion's business, you'd better not interfere. It's better to hand the person over to the old lady or the eldest lady for disposal. Let's go back to the East Palace as soon as possible."

Li Shuangmiao glanced at her and said, "If you want to stay in the Duke's Mansion so much, I can let you go now, and you won't have to go back with me!"

Yi Qing stopped talking. If she was sent back to the Duke's Mansion by Li Shuangmiao and she failed to handle the Second Young Master's business, he would not spare her life.

Never mind, some people are courting death, and even if she is a cow, she can’t pull them back.

"Hurry up and say it!" Li Shuangmiao looked coldly at Qiao'er lying on the ground.

"Reply, reply to the Crown Princess, this jade pendant belongs to the princess."

"It turned out to be that little bitch Li Shuangyan. No wonder I felt she looked familiar."

Li Shuangmiao threw the jade pendant hooked on her finger to the ground in disgust.

The jade pendant immediately broke into two pieces.

Qiao'er was startled and hurriedly crawled over to hold it in her hands.

She cried, "It's over, it's over. This, this is something I found in Xingshui Hutong and wanted to return to the princess. Now it's broken. What should I do? This is such a valuable thing, even if I sell myself, I can't afford to pay for it."

Li Shuangmiao frowned: "What did you say? Xingshui Hutong, that place is full of untouchables, what is Li Shuangyan doing there?"

When Qiao Er heard this, she immediately covered her mouth and said, "No, I didn't say that. I didn't say Xingshui Hutong. Princess, you heard it wrong. I didn't say anything."

"You little bitch, how dare you lie to my face!" The young eunuch slapped her in the face again.

Hongshuang's cheeks suddenly swelled up.

"Hurry up and tell me, do you want me to have you hung up?"

Qiao'er's face was pale, tears welled up in her eyes, and she shook her head desperately, looking extremely frightened.

"Go, hang her under the sun for me. Right now, everyone in the Duke's Mansion is in Songhe Hall, and they won't come out for an hour or two."

The young eunuch flattered, "Crown Princess, even if they come out, it will be useless. You are the Crown Princess, the future Queen Mother, how can they go past you?"

"Besides, Qiao'er is just a servant of the second wife's concubine, so no one is willing to stand up for her."

Li Shuangmiao was pleased by this: "You are still good at talking, Yi Qing, reward him with a golden grain."

Yi Qing rolled his eyes, took out the golden grains from his purse and patted the young eunuch's hand.

The young eunuch took it with a chuckle, and did not forget to say, "Thank you, Sister Yi Qing."
