My money-loving little lady

"Anyway, you can't blame him. He lost his mother when he was a child, and I failed to take good care of him at that time. It's normal for him to be a little withdrawn. If you really don't like the look in his eyes, just don't look at him." Ronghua touched the pearl hairpin in front of him and felt a little confused.

"Eh? Isn't this the pearl hairpin in the box that Ziyue checked before?"

"This is the dowry gift my father gave me, the Nine Phoenixes and Pearl Hairpin." She murmured with a smile.

Jing Rongyao knew that it was not unreasonable for Ronghua to be called the most noble princess. Among the children of Emperor Shizu, Ronghua was the most similar to the Queen Mother and him. The late emperor was good at riding and shooting, but unfortunately Queen Duanshu was in poor health. , the prince who was born was weak after being born less than a month old. He would have high fever from time to time and had to be cared for.

When the Queen Mother was still a concubine, she often taught her children to practice martial arts and physical fitness. Therefore, among the several princes and princesses, the seventh prince Fu Qingxuan and her Fu Ronghua had the best physical fitness.

Even Fu Qingxuan's equestrian skills were not as good as hers. At that time, there was still a rumor among the people that if a woman was to become emperor in the Daqian Dynasty, Fu Ronghua would definitely be the best candidate to be the crown prince.

But the Queen Mother had no such intention and has been supporting the current emperor.

After so many years, the Queen Mother had actually realized that something was wrong with the emperor. On Ronghua's birthday, the emperor fell ill with smallpox. She had had smallpox, so she took care of her brother all night long.

When he woke up, the Queen Mother clearly saw in his eyes infatuation, but it was more like the infatuation of maternal love.

So, in order to avoid suspicion, she proposed to build a princess palace so that Ronghua could move out alone. Then, without hesitation, she agreed to the marriage arranged by the emperor for her.

"Could it be a mistake in itself?"

Jing Rongyao saw that her mother was lost in thought again, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. She heard Ziyue say that some seriously ill people would have a period of recovery before dying. This was indeed the case. She had seen these days. She could get out of bed and walk around, and she could even walk for about half a day, but the doctor saw that there was no real improvement.

"Mom, are you okay?" she tentatively asked the woman in front of her.

The woman slapped her funny and angrily, "What's wrong? You wish you had died for your mother?"

Seeing the seriousness, she gave up some thoughts and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's okay.

After kneeling down, she returned to the house and saw Yun Xi waiting early in the house, with a mother in coarse clothes standing behind her.

"Girl, I've asked this before. Mother Fang wants to tell you something about the second young lady."

After hearing Yun Xi's report, Jing Rongyao gave him a look. Yun Xi immediately walked outside the door, opened the door and looked around for a while, then closed the door and stood outside to watch.

"Tell me." Seeing this, she lazily turned her head to look at her mother in front of her.

I saw Fang’s mother hesitating, as if she didn’t want to say anything yet.

"What do you want?" She was not surprised by this. One hand fiddled with the bead string on her other wrist without looking at the woman.

"The eldest lady is smart, but this slave is a rough person. Today's matter is of great importance. If this slave really tells the matter directly to the young lady, and the young lady is fine afterwards, the slave will definitely be killed by my aunt." She knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and then

He slowly raised his head, seemingly testing.

"The slave wants the young lady to help the slave and the slave's daughter Zhu'er leave the Jing family. If the young lady can do it, the slave will definitely not reveal a word about what happens next. The slave will take her daughter back to her hometown, which is one hundred thousand miles away from the capital.

Eight thousand miles away, my aunt will not be able to catch this slave by then."

"Ha, you have a good idea." She was not surprised and glanced at Fang's mother on the ground.

"Now that Aunt Song is in charge of the back house at home, she also has the contract list for buying and selling slaves. How do you want me to find her and ask for your list in exchange for information about harming her daughter?"

"Miss!" Fang's mother stood up decisively, "I am not a slave of the Jing family. I am with the old lady. Therefore, the old lady is in charge of the deed. I am really at my wits' end." As she said this, she rolled up her sleeves and

What caught everyone's eyes were the scars from the whips and the circular marks burned by the fire.

Jing Rongyao frowned slightly, and then took a serious look at the woman in front of her.

"After my servant and the old lady entered the Jing Mansion, they had little potential. When they reached the age, they should have been sent home by their mistress to get married. However, Aunt Song saw that I had been on good terms with the lady, so she secretly sent her nutritional supplements. As a result,

I was betrothed to a gambler in the front yard. Gambler Lao Jiang was also addicted to cigarettes. Whenever he got angry, he would beat and scold us mother and daughter. I had already given up, but when I saw the young lady that day, I easily gave in to the second young lady.

, this ignited a glimmer of hope, please, Miss, please save our mother and daughter!"

Seeing her crying sincerely, the girl next to Jing Rongyao couldn't bear it.

"I know, I will get your body deed, and I will also give you a carriage to help you two leave, but the premise is that the news you give me is worth what I do."

"Thank you, Miss!" After hearing her words, Fang's mother smiled with tears in her eyes and kowtowed to her solemnly.

"Get up and talk." She motioned to Yan'er to help Fang's mother up, and then Fang's mother rested for a while and began to speak after her mood returned to normal.

"That day, the slave girl was taking care of the plants in the backyard. She accidentally saw something vague in the bamboo forest, as if there was something inside. The slave girl was timid and was afraid that some small beast might come in, so she hid on the edge.

She didn't dare to say a word. But she was afraid that if she didn't clean up, she would be punished if someone found out, so she waited and didn't leave. Within half an hour, the slave saw the second lady walking out of the forest in disheveled clothes, with people behind her.

There is a, a man."

After hearing this, she became interested and asked, "Who is the man?"

"I don't know, slave, but the clothes are very noble and don't look like the people in the mansion." She stated truthfully. Jing Rongyao nodded. It is true that as a slave, she doesn't know many men.

"But if I let you see me again, I will definitely recognize you."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Then take a look and see if he is this person." She pondered for a while and then motioned to Yan'er to get the portrait of He Zijie that was displayed in the bedroom, because they were still engaged and the matchmaker had given her the portrait in advance.
Fang's mother squinted her eyes and looked at it carefully. After a while, she said righteously, "Yes! It's him, I've seen him! This young man looks a lot like him. Moreover, he also wears a special

A big yellow jade pendant, that jade pendant is crescent-shaped! It’s the pattern in the painting.”

"Okay, I understand. You go back through the back door first and wait for my reply."

"Yes, I will leave this slave."
