Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 463: The Little Cannon Fodder in Ancient House Fighting Novels 19

Cui Xiaoxiao was recalling the plot. In the previous life, the fifth prince ascended the throne. Where did the other princes go? What was the fate of the one in front of him? Looking at his confident look, he didn't look like someone who would lose miserably.

So what means did the fifth prince use to win?

However, since she has decided to be with him, she doesn't want a bad ending! No matter what happens, no matter who it is, no one can stop her from enjoying the road of wealth and glory!

"Okay, I'll leave the imperial edict to you. I won't be in charge of it anymore!"

"Don't worry!" He and his mother worked hard together to rescue such a person. If they couldn't get him, then all these years would have been in vain.

"Do you need my help with the matters concerning the Marquis of Le'an's Mansion?" But I hope he would not get the imperial edict while she disappeared before the edict arrived.

"Leave the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion to me! The Marquis is about to leave the capital, so there is nothing to be afraid of those remaining people!" If she is still schemed against by those people, then her life will have been wasted, and even Xiaojiu will laugh at her!

"Okay, you can do whatever you want. Your own safety is the most important thing. If there's anything I can do for you, don't be afraid of the trouble. Just ask!"

"okay, I get it!"

"By the way, Xiaoxiao, do you need someone to serve you?" He knew that the eldest daughter of the marquis's mansion had only one personal maid, and that maid was not very useful.

I heard that she did a lot of things herself.

"There is a maid named Xiangqin in the Le'an Marquis's Mansion. She is mine. If you don't mind, you can keep her by my side and serve me. If nothing else, she is at least more useful than the maidservant beside you."

Cui Xiaoxiao was also a little surprised, "You have people in a small place like the Marquis' Mansion?" Does that mean there are a lot of spies from other people in the mansion?

“What are you thinking about? Our people are not cabbages, there is no place to use them if we have too many of them! The reason why there are people in the Marquis’ Mansion is... because they are suddenly interested in the affairs of the Marquis’ Mansion!” The Tenth Prince felt a little embarrassed!

He was interested in Cui Xiaoxiao last time, so he investigated the Marquis' Mansion! His subordinates saw that he had asked several times before letting someone in. He wanted to see the excitement of the Marquis' Mansion and did not object. But he did not expect that he had such a fate with the Le'an Marquis' Mansion. This person could come in handy!

Cui Xiaoxiao did not ask him whether he was interested in the person or the mansion. She thought it was good to have a capable person in the mansion, who could at least provide her with some cover. Although she could know anything she wanted to know with her mental power, others did not know that she had this ability!

"Oh, so you let her serve me. Is she mine or yours?"

"Do I even need to ask? I've given it to you, so of course she's yours! But if you want to find me, you can also go through her!" The Tenth Prince was certainly not stingy and was very happy that Cui Xiaoxiao accepted it.

If necessary, he would like to send her a few more people. At least she can do less work. How can a daughter of a marquis's family not have a few maids and servants around her? How inconvenient would that be?

But now my name is not right and my words are not in order, so no matter what I give, it will be bad!

After coming out of Fangfei Palace, the Tenth Prince was in a very good mood.

"Your Highness, are you sure that is our mistress?" It was also the first time that his bodyguard Alin encountered a person that his master cared so much about!

"What else? Do you think I have nothing to do every night?"

"Should I give orders to our people to take special care of this person?"

"You better wait a little longer. Don't scare her. At least wait until the imperial edict comes down!"

"Yes, Master!"

The next morning, Cui Xiaoxiao started packing her things!

She didn't bring much with her and hadn't bought anything during the entire draft, so she packed up quickly.

After packing up her things, she had breakfast in the palace and gave Yongqiu a hundred taels of silver to thank her for her careful care during this period.

Yongqiu also thanked her happily. Although she did not get the same high reward as others, this master saved her trouble. She lived very comfortably during this period, and even offered to send Cui Xiaoxiao to the palace gate, which completed the master-servant friendship during this period!

The master and servant then set out from Fangfei Palace. Cui Xiaoxiao looked back at the place where she had lived for more than a month, then walked towards the palace gate without looking back.

After walking a few steps, she saw the Tenth Prince and his guards not far away. When he saw her looking at him, he nodded slightly at her and then watched her leave the palace!

Wing Chun also took Cui Xiaoxiao to the palace gate before turning back! Cui Xiaoxiao left the palace and found that the Marquis' Mansion had not arranged anyone to pick her up!

Many concubines had already gone back, and there were only a few carriages waiting for concubines and guards guarding the palace gate! Cui Xiaoxiao knew at a glance that the Marquis' Mansion had done this on purpose!

Haha, everyone who has a concubine knows that the selection is over today. The Marquis's actions are really petty! Do you really think that leaving her alone here will lose her face? This will only make people look down on the Marquis's Mansion even more!

Cui Xiaoxiao had no choice but to go to the place where she rented a carriage. Fortunately, the place where she rented a carriage was not far from the palace gate!

She spent two taels of silver to rent a carriage and then went to the Marquis' Mansion!

In the carriage, she first used cosmetics to restore her nose to its previous appearance, then expanded her mental power to the maximum, looking at the customs and habits of the streets of the capital, memorizing the approximate locations of inns, teahouses, and various shops for food, clothing, housing and transportation!

The carriage traveled for more than an hour before arriving at the gate of Le'an Marquis Mansion!

Cui Xiaoxiao got off the carriage, took the bag and walked straight to the mansion, but was stopped by the gatekeeper! "Stop, who are you? How can you break into the Le'an Marquis's mansion?"

"Oh? You dog slave, don't you even recognize your own master? What? I am the legitimate daughter of the Le'an Marquis's Mansion, and after the show, I can't even go home?" Cui Xiaoxiao looked at him with a sneer!

"Haha, it turns out to be the Second Miss! I have never seen you before so I don't recognize you. Please forgive me and don't take it personally!" The gatekeeper began to apologize to Cui Xiaoxiao with a smile!

They knew that the second young lady was not favored at home, and they also knew that today was the day the selection was over. Seeing that no one from the Marquis' Mansion went to pick her up, they wanted to make things difficult for her. It would be even better if they could get some reward money.

It can be seen that Cui Xiaoxiao is not as easy to bully as rumored, so she should be more considerate! After all, no matter what, she is also the master of the Marquis's Mansion, and he is just a servant!

Cui Xiaoxiao returned to her own courtyard and saw that the weeds outside the courtyard were very tall and there was a layer of dust inside the room. It was obvious that no one had been in the house for a long time, and there was no trace of the personal maid.

She put her things down first, took a short rest, and then went to pay her respects to Old Madam Hou!

"Granddaughter pays her respects to grandmother. It has been a long time since I returned home from the selection for the imperial examination. Is grandma doing well?" Cui Xiaoxiao bowed and greeted Madam Hou!

"Why did you come back at this time? Do you think you are superior to others because you chose Xiu, and look down on the Marquis' Mansion?" The old lady looked a lot older and thinner in this month, and her face looked a little sour and mean when she was angry.

They had a really hard time this month. They almost turned the mansion upside down, but they still couldn't find the lost things! Life in the mansion suddenly became difficult.

The old lady who cared most about gains and losses was like a lost soul, and she tormented many servants! Now that she saw her granddaughter return, she felt like she had found a punching bag, and she couldn't help but lose her temper on the spot!

"Grandma, why do you say that? What do you mean by being selected as a concubine, you are superior to others? The reason why my granddaughter came back late is that I did not see the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion when I left the palace. I asked other concubines if they were on the way, but I did not find any concubines on the way!

There was no other way. The granddaughter searched for a long time before she found a place to rent a horse carriage, and only then was she able to return safely! The granddaughter really did not delay, and many people can testify for her. "Cui Xiaoxiao didn't want to be wronged for nothing!

The old lady felt her breath pause when she heard this. If this happened, the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion not valuing the legitimate daughter would probably spread out! Behind closed doors, they could ignore her as much as they wanted, but they still didn't want outsiders to know! However, it was something they did, so she couldn't be blamed.

"You, I only said one sentence to you, and you have so many words to evade me and contradict me! You...you are disobedient and unfilial." The old lady spoke without thinking, and she was too lazy to even maintain the airs of Old Lady Hou.

Cui Xiaoxiao didn't expect that just because she lost some money, this old woman would become even more sharp and unreasonable!

Cui Xiaoxiao's face also turned cold. She was not willing to deal with this unreasonable old woman. It really affected her mood.

"After returning home, my granddaughter came to pay her respects to me as soon as possible, but she was also accused of being disobedient and unfilial. Did I pay my respects wrongly? Grandmother, what should I do?

"I know that my grandmother doesn't like me, so I won't stay here to bother you. Lest you see me unhappy, I'll leave now!" After saying that, she ran out with red eyes and covering her nose!

She went to the Marquis's courtyard to pay her respects again!

"A daughter greets her mother!" Cui Xiaoxiao, with red eyes and a bad mood, did not want to say a single extra word.

The Marquis's wife, who was looking at the account book, had also lost a lot of weight, which was probably because she had been thinking about her these days! Of course, it was also enough to show the old lady's ability to make trouble!

"Get up! I'm not in the mood to deal with you, go away!" The Marquis's wife didn't even give her a glance as usual.

"Yes, my daughter will take her leave!" Well, all the face-saving work has been done, and I can finally rest in peace. As for those brothers and sisters, I didn't see any of them!

Cui Xiaoxiao returned to her yard, and was about to fetch water to clean the yard when a maid named Xiangqin came over. It was probably because she had received instructions from her master!

"Miss, this kind of rough work is not for you to do. Let me do it!" After saying that, she moved a stool for her and placed it under the shade of a tree in the yard for her to sit down and rest. She also took a small thin blanket from the cupboard and covered her legs.

After settling Cui Xiaoxiao down, she quickly cleaned Cui Xiaoxiao's room inside and out, and even pulled out all the weeds outside.

She is indeed a capable girl. She has done the work of a week in just half a day! Seeing how she has managed the small yard in an orderly manner, Cui Xiaoxiao really likes this girl. She is so capable. She is really an all-round housekeeper!

"Xiangqin, do you know where Chunyu has gone?" After all, she was his personal maid, and now that she was missing, she couldn't just not even ask.

"Miss, Chunyu was redeemed by her family ten days ago and got married!" In fact, she was sold to an old man as a concubine by her family.

"So you were assigned to my yard?"

"Not really!" Xiang Qin smiled and said embarrassedly.

Cui Xiaoxiao understood that her master had ordered her to come and help! If she wanted her to serve, she would have to ask the Marquis's wife for help, but this was not difficult, and she believed that the Marquis's wife would agree!

Then Cui Xiaoxiao asked Xiangqin about the various things that had happened in the mansion recently!

Cui Xiaoxiao only then learned about the outrageous actions of the masters in the Marquis' Mansion. Only more than 3,000 taels of silver were left in the mansion's treasury for daily expenses, and the rest was divided equally between the old lady and the Marquis and his mother.

The government treasury is running out of money, and the produce from the farm and shops won’t be delivered until the end of the year!

The Marquis' wife would not be foolish enough to use her dowry to subsidize the Marquis' Mansion, so except for the people in her courtyard whose living standards did not decline, the living standards of other masters and servants in the Marquis' Mansion plummeted!

Up to now, no one has seen meat for seven or eight days. It is said that the concubines can only eat vegetables, pickles, steamed buns and steamed buns, which has caused concubines who have not competed for favor for many years to come out to compete for favor, just to eat more good things!

The servants were even worse off, they could only eat coarse grain steamed buns! This was even poorer than the Marquis's mansion before he married Hua Yunrong!

Moreover, when they checked the lost items in the mansion, the servants' rooms were searched several times, and all the valuable things were confiscated. So the mansion treated them harshly, and they couldn't even afford to eat!

Now the servants including the concubines get green eyes when they see something meaty. If they hadn't signed a death contract to sell themselves, there would be few people to serve in the Marquis' Mansion!

The servants were hungry and sleepless, so they naturally wouldn't stick to their masters' affairs. Anyone who wanted to know the news of the Marquis' Mansion could get it by paying a little money.

This is also the reason why the Tenth Prince and Concubine Zhao were able to find out the news about the Marquis' Mansion so quickly.

Cui Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue when she heard this. Are all the masters of the Marquis' Mansion so shameless?

Xiangqin was also shocked by the Marquis's behavior, which broke all her views on the rich and powerful. Fortunately, she brought silver notes with her when she came in, otherwise she wouldn't be able to fill her stomach!

Sure enough, at lunch time, Xiangqin brought her lunch which consisted of only two steamed buns, a plate of cabbage and a plate of pickles.

Cui Xiaoxiao used her spiritual power to observe the other masters of the Marquis's Mansion, and found that only a few concubines who were not favored were similar to her. As for the Marquis's wife and the Marquis's wife, although the food was not as rich as before, it was still very good.

Even Aunt Zhuang spent money to buy two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes!

Cui Xiaoxiao shared the steamed buns first, and then gave Xiangqin twenty taels of silver directly, asking her to secretly go out to buy some food and bring back some pastries for her!
