By the time Lady Shao came back with Grandma Cui and Grandma Lu, Li Lijun had already taken a nap.

Also coming with her was Lu Ying, another maid of Princess Dou.

Aunt Cui and Aunt Lu both looked depressed and gloomy. Mrs. Shao was also crying non-stop. It was clear at a glance that something bad had happened to them.

Lu Ying smiled sweetly in front of Li Lijun, and even showed a small dimple: "Our princess said that the fourth lady was injured, and the nuns who were waiting for the former princess didn't come for a long time. They were too derelict in their duties.

She really couldn't stand it, so she ordered the slave to go and scold her. When they arrived at the front hall, the slave could not find anyone anywhere. Only when he saw Mrs. Shao next to the fourth lady did she realize that the two nuns were being held captive in the stable by the Chen family.

They threatened the two nuns, saying that if they didn't agree to the request, they would sell their whole family and their relatives! Madam Shao had no way to deal with the Chen family, so she had to bring the two nuns over.

My grandma has been rescued. Don’t worry, Fourth Lady, both grandma’s are safe and sound. Our princess has said that it’s not the Chen family’s turn to step in and teach the people of the Sui Palace!”

Li Lijun only felt surprised: "In our Sui Palace, the servants of our Sui Palace were detained in the stable by the Chen family and threatened. How does this sound like a dream? Are the Chen family so capable? Our family is like this

Just sit back and do nothing?" She looked at the two nuns Cui and Lu, "If the nuns can't resist, why can't they call for help? You actually let the Chen family be escorted all the way from the front hall to the stable?"

The nuns all showed shameful expressions.

Lu Ying smiled and showed her dimples again: "The fourth lady didn't know that Mother Ma was there at that time. She has always had a good reputation in the palace, and others thought it was the successor king's order, so they didn't stop her."

Mother Ma?

It had been so long that Li Lijun couldn't remember which one it was, or Erhong reminded her: "It's her?! Her granddaughter acted as an accomplice to the third wife, which made our little lady miserable.

She actually has the idea of ​​​​a little lady’s business?!"

Li Lijun immediately remembered. Mother Ma, this was the wet nurse of the little Yang family, who was married into the Sui Palace. Her daughter-in-law, Lady Ma, was Li Yanjun’s wet nurse and Cuihua’s mother. Because the little Yang family was heir to Wang Li

Dai favored her, and she also had a high status in the Sui Palace. Although she was not a serious grandmother, she was able to speak out on many matters.

Li Lijun couldn't help but smile: "It's funny. Cuihua helped the third sister take my life, but her grandmother came to the Chen family to threaten the mothers around me and take away the property left by my grandfather. Normally speaking,

, how could the few powerless branch clan members of the Chen family have the guts to come to the Sui Palace to act wild? As long as I am still alive, the Sui Palace would not be able to let the Chen family take away their granddaughter’s things. But if I die...

…”

Mrs. Shao was shocked when she heard this and quickly interrupted her: "My dear, don't say these words, it's unlucky!"

Li Lijun glanced at her and continued: "...if I die, according to tradition, do I have to return the dowry and dowry property I inherited from my mother to the Chen family? Grandma Aweng is reasonable.

Even if you are unwilling, you will not use your power to overwhelm others. However, if Mrs. Yang has a way to conquer the Chen family and get this property first, I, Aye, will definitely be happy, and neither will Aweng.

Say more, after all, the meat has rotted in the pot, and it has never been easier for outsiders to go."

She paused and looked at the two nuns: "At that point, who cares what happened to the nuns? Who will make the decision for them?"

Aunt Cui and Lu's expressions became even uglier. Aunt Cui gritted her teeth and asked, "My dear lady, did the third lady really say that they instigated my lady's death?!"

"I was injured like this just because the third sister wanted to silence me. Could it be a lie?" Li Lijun glanced at her, then turned to Lu Ying, "Ms. Yang always said that she didn't know that the third sister would kill me, and then she said

The third sister was just impulsive, but her confidants all ran to seize my property at the same time. If she didn't know about it, how could it have been such a coincidence? It's a pity that I didn't die according to her ideas.

Otherwise, she might not be happy now that everything is going as she wished and she has made a contribution in front of Aye, and maybe she won't be able to pretend to be sad in front of my mother's spirit."

Lu Ying smiled and blinked: "Don't worry, Fourth Lady, the princess will definitely make the decision for you!"

What Li Lijun wanted was her words, and she sighed: "My grandma has already gone, and Aye is still partial to Mrs. Yang and her third sister, and even turns a blind eye to them even if they want to do harm to her brother and eldest sister. I am young

I'm still young, and I'm all alone at home. I really don't know what to do, so I ask my grandmother to take pity on me."

Lu Ying bowed to her: "Four ladies, don't worry, I will pass the message to the princess."

Lu Ying resigned and left. She was the only one left in the room. Li Lijun was too lazy to go around in circles. She ordered Erhong to close the door, and asked the nuns and Madam Shao to come to her. She asked directly: "Tell me, Chen

What do you want to do? Did they already know that something would happen to me today?"

Aunt Cui showed hesitation on her face: "Don't worry, little lady, we were not prepared today, and we will never fall into other people's schemes in the future! Whether it is the safety of the little lady, or the property left by the master and the lady, we will protect it.

of."

Aunt Lu was more frank than Aunt Cui: "The Chen family never revealed that something would happen to the little lady, and I think they didn't know about it. They just thought that the little lady was still young and didn't know how to run a store, so all the business matters were left to the servants."

They held it in their hands. They said that they were afraid that our slaves would deceive the master, so they wanted to go over to the store first and help take care of it. This actually made some sense, but the gentlemen from the Chen family were not usually very shrewd.

What good can these capable people do if the store is left in their hands?

"We told them that we should let the original shopkeepers take care of it first. If the husbands don't trust us, they can just check the accounts from time to time. When the little lady grows up, we will properly hand over this property to the little lady.

It’s in the hands of the wife. But the husbands refused to agree. They said that we were hiding adultery and wanted to sell us all, even the shopkeepers. We thought how could the Chen family sell people from the palace? But Ama

Just following them, she must have deceived the Chen family!"

Li Lijun raised her eyebrows: "Aunt Lu, do you think...the Chen family and Aunt Ma are not the same group? But I don't believe it! Even if my mother passes away, I am still young, and the confidants left by my mother can still be there.

Everyone is betraying their masters, but no one can be trusted? Do I need people from outside the family who are separated by blood to take care of the property for me? Even if I lack people, does the palace still lack people to take care of me? The Chen family is also a wealthy family, so always

You can’t even hear such lies, right?”

Aunt Lu hesitated for a moment and then said with a wry smile: "Young lady is smart, how could I not know that the gentlemen of the Chen family have bad intentions? It's just that... they are also members of the old man's clan after all, and they can be regarded as relatives of the lady and the young lady. The lady has already

After leaving, the heir is again focused on the west courtyard and is indifferent to the young lady. If there is no help from the outside family members, how will the young lady live in the future? I am afraid that if you are wronged in the palace, there will be no one to help you.

support."

Li Lijun disagreed: "I almost lost my life, and they didn't support me. They even sold my attendants and took away my property. What kind of help are they going to do?! Besides, Mrs. Yang's daughter almost died

She was also an accomplice in killing me. Both mother and daughter are now my enemies. The Chen family colluded with my enemies to seize my property, and they were afraid that they no longer regarded me as a relative. I also told them

Is it because of family ties?"

She raised her eyes and stared at the two nuns: "If any of our people want to go back to the Chen family, or switch to the Yang family, just tell me, and I will never stop them from pursuing a good future!"
