Changxin Palace

Shaoyao had been awakened by such a big commotion, but the guards prevented her from entering, so she had to wait outside the door.

Now, everyone has finally left, and Peony can enter the house.

"Miss, what on earth is going on? I was sleeping soundly, but I vaguely heard crying. I thought I was dreaming!"

"What else could be going on? It's not that Liu Yingshi has bad intentions and wants to harm me! It's a pity that your lady is not that easy to bully!"

Jiang Liuli dusted herself off. After experiencing such a turmoil, she was in high spirits and no longer sleepy at all.

"My slave just saw Xia Ling walking out crying and disheveled in the yard. What happened to her?"

Shaoyao hesitated to speak. She seemed to have vaguely guessed something, but she was not sure.

After all, this is about the innocence of the girl's family. It is a very important matter and cannot be talked about casually.

The matter was such a big deal, even if she didn't say anything, Shaoyao would know about it sooner or later.

"Liu Yingshi drugged me, bribed the servants to steal my innocence, and even brought the prince to catch me!"

Jiang Liuli shook her head helplessly. She never expected that such a bloody plot would happen to her.

"Fortunately, I was alert and escaped!"

Shaoyao was frightened when she heard this. If the lady hadn't noticed, it would have been another story!

"Then what happened to Xia Ling?"

Shaoyao didn't understand. Since the young lady saw through it, she could just stay away.

Why is Xia Ling still involved?

"Does that need to be said? If she helps the tyrants do evil, I will let her suffer the consequences!"

Jiang Liuli said it confidently and did not feel that she had done anything wrong.

But when Shaoyao heard this answer, she was so scared that she frowned.

What the lady is doing is too cruel?

Although Shaoyao didn't say anything, Jiang Liuli still interpreted other meanings from her subtle expression.

"Do you think I did something wrong?"

Jiang Liuli didn't like hiding things, especially when the other person was her personal maid who "depended on each other for life". If the two of them were still suspicious of each other and misunderstood, how could the days ahead be sweet and relaxed?

"I don't dare!"

She didn't say anything, but her thoughts were revealed by Jiang Liuli, and Shaoyao suddenly felt a little guilty.

What's wrong with her?

He is obviously the lady and should be on the lady's side. How can he turn his elbows outward?

"Is there anything we can't say between you and me? Even if you don't say it, do you think I can't tell?"

Jiang Liuli's eyes were as bright as a torch, as if he could see through something.

"Miss, don't think too much! I just think that Xia Ling is too pitiful! After all, she only obeys the master's orders. Such a punishment is a bit harsh."

Shaoyao didn't dare to question his master, but he couldn't help but sympathize with Xia Ling.

How important is innocence to a girl!

Now, Xia Ling's innocence has been ruined, which means that her life is over!

Xia Ling was wrong, but it wasn't like——

Shaoyao couldn't help but think of herself. If she accidentally made a mistake, wouldn't that be the case?

Today's young lady is so unfamiliar that it scares her!

"Yes, you are right! Xia Ling is just a maid, and she only takes orders from Liu Yingshi. However, everyone has to bear the consequences for what they do! As the saying goes, if the emperor breaks the law, he will not be with the common people.

The same crime! Even if the princes and nobles commit a crime and don’t say anything, the nine tribes will be implicated! Then where can you go to reason?"

Jiang Liuli kept a straight face and carefully analyzed the peony.

Shaoyao is a kind and good girl, but kindness must have its own bottom line, and kindness must also have an edge.

"Do you know who drugged me today? Yes, it was Xia Ling! If I hadn't found out in time, I would have been the one whose innocence was ruined, and I would have been the one who was soaked in the pig cage by the prince! That one

At that time, do you think I can still survive?"

Jiang Liuli's analysis was very clear. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

Shaoyao gasped when she heard this, she thought too little!

"At any time, you must never have the intention of harming others, and never have the intention of guarding against others! If you follow me wholeheartedly, I will never treat you badly!"

Jiang Liuli looked at Shaoyao sincerely, and every word and every sentence came from the bottom of her heart.

"I know my mistake!"

Shaoyao's face was burning, and she felt extremely ashamed.

"If you can have a better life and live a better life, I will never stop you!"

Jiang Liuli suddenly thought of something, turned around suddenly, opened the cabinet beside the bed, and took out a yellowed deed of betrayal from the cabinet.

"This is your deed of betrayal. I've wanted to return it to you for a long time! But I thought you had nowhere to go, so I kept it. It's okay to let it go today. I'll give it to you!"

Jiang Liuli handed the deed of betrayal to Shaoyao, she was not just talking about it.

"Miss--"

Shaoyao stared at the thin piece of paper in Jiang Liuli's hand, but she bit her lip and couldn't help but burst into tears.

The maid's contract of sale has always been in the hands of the master, just for the sake of easy control.

In the past, Shaoyao had never thought that one day she would have the opportunity to redeem her deed of betrayal, regain freedom like a little bird, go wherever she wanted, and do whatever she wanted.

But when this day really came, she panicked!

"Miss, are you kidding?"

"Do you think I'm joking? Even if you don't believe me, don't you still believe the words in black and white?"

Jiang Liuli unfolded the thin paper carefully, pointed to the fingerprint she pressed and said, "Even if you don't recognize the handwriting, you should know this fingerprint, right?"

"Miss, I realize my mistake! Please don't drive me away!"

Shaoyao was completely panicked. After her biological mother passed away, her father quickly married to fill the house.

As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather. She did the hardest and most tiring work at home, but she couldn't get enough to eat.

Especially after her younger brother was born, she was even more miserable.

She could tolerate all this, but what she didn't expect was that her father actually sold her away at the instigation of her stepmother!

From now on, where will she have a home?

Although she couldn't live a life of luxury with Jiang Liuli, she was already used to being with Jiang Liuli!

For her, Jiang Liuli is now the person she is closest to in this world.

She really didn't know where else she could go without Jiang Liuli?

"I didn't mean to drive you away!"

Shaoyao seemed to have misunderstood her meaning. Her original intention was to be good to her, but now seeing Shaoyao's panicked look, she seemed to have done something bad!
