Looking at Meng Wenhao's expression of resentment and accusation.
Xiao Lingyue's conscience ached a little.
She coughed and said seriously: "In short, a lot of things have happened in the capital in the past few days, which are turbulent and turbulent. You have stayed in Tianlao for the past few days, so you have avoided the storm."
Qing Luo asked: "Miss, has the murderer of Mr. Shen been found?"
"We found it, it's Aunt Hua." Xiao Lingyue didn't hide anything, "She has been arrested, and His Majesty personally sentenced her to death in Lingchi!"
"Lingchi?!" Meng Wenhao was shocked.
"Aunt Hua? How could it be her?!" Qing Luo was also shocked.
"She was not the only one, but Shen Yuting and Grandma Li were also sentenced to Ling Chi."
There was a hint of indifference in Xiao Lingyue's eyes.
She said calmly: "You don't need to ask for details. You just need to know that everything that happened to the Shen family was done by the three of them. Shen Zhijiang was dismissed by His Majesty. The Shen family has been expelled from Beijing and will never come back again."
."
Qingluo was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Meng Wenhao was a little confused: "Who is Shen Zhijiang?"
"He is... the young lady's father, but he has severed ties with the young lady."
Qing Luo said with complicated emotions: "I didn't expect that it would turn out like this in just a few days..."
When Meng Wenhao heard this, he couldn't ask any more questions for a while.
Xiao Lingyue didn't want to talk more about the Shen family, so she changed the subject and said, "I am temporarily living in Prince Yi's Mansion. For some reasons, it is inconvenient to leave in a short time. Qingluo will naturally follow me. Mr. Meng and Xiaomu, if you don't mind,
, how about staying here for the time being?"
"Is this appropriate?" Meng Wenhao was a little surprised, "After all, this is the palace, and I am a native of Dong Qi..."
Xiao Lingyue said with a smile: "I have already told King Yi that you were sent to the heavenly prison because of my fault. It is not convenient to go back to the place where you originally lived. For the time being, I will stay in King Yi's Mansion for a few days while waiting for the princess's mansion next door.
After the repairs are completed, you can move over with the small pieces of wood."
After a pause, she smiled again: "You probably haven't forgotten that I asked you to consider being my housekeeper, right?"
Meng Wenhao nodded complicatedly: "I remember."
"How do you think about it?"
"Miss Shen, I know you have good intentions and want to help me, but..." Meng Wenhao said with a grateful look on his face, mid-sentence.
Xiao Lingyue shook her head and interrupted: "I'm not helping you out of kindness, I'm just doing it for mutual benefit."
Meng Wenhao: "...ah?"
"It's inconvenient for you to carry a small piece of wood with you. You also need a monthly allowance to support yourself and save money for your trip home."
Xiao Lingyue said: "And I just need someone who is trustworthy and can take care of things to help me take care of the mansion. I don't have so much energy myself, so I ask you to be the housekeeper. You can take Xiaomu to live in the princess
If you go to the government, help me with the chores, and I'll pay you monthly payments, isn't this the best of both worlds, mutually beneficial?"
When Xiao Lingyue wants to persuade someone, the reasons she gives are often difficult to refuse.
Meng Wenhao opened his mouth and found that he was speechless.
Finally, he smiled bitterly: "Miss Shen, it's such a pity that you don't want to do business!"
It's not just a matter of eloquence, the key is to be able to see through people's hearts.
After all, Meng Wenhao is a grown man with his own pride and bottom line. He is not willing to accept kindness from others. He would rather work harder and get it through his own efforts.
This can be seen from his hard work carrying small pieces of wood and looking for work everywhere.
He wants to earn his own living, rather than shamelessly asking for charity from others.
Xiao Lingyue respected such people in her heart, so she never mentioned borrowing money to help from the beginning to the end. She only said that her mansion needed a housekeeper and asked him if he would be willing to do it.
Although she does not lack this little money. This chapter has been completed!
