She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 3 The Xu Family
"what happened?"

Xu Shu was not in a good mood and asked with a straight face.

Ah Wei also turned to look at the maid who was guarding the door, and gestured with her eyes.

One of them was lying on the ground and said with some embarrassment:

"It's a lowly servant girl in the garden. She said she has something important to tell the princess. But it's so late, and if there is something really important, the princess will send someone. The servants asked her to report tomorrow, but she refused to let go up."

Xu Shu was not too sleepy yet and was a little curious about the purpose of this maid's visit, so she was let in.

Soon there were small footsteps.

Lai Sheng has a good face, a well-proportioned figure, and is very calm, not disturbed by disturbing the master's rest, not like a maidservant who does rough work in the garden.

Xu Shu has already learned with her mother how to control servants and how to distinguish the purpose of loyalty and adultery. Such a valuable maid, logically speaking, should not be reduced to doing rough work.

Xu Shu's eyes moved to her hands hanging by her sides. She glanced at the fingertips a few more times, and the suspicion in her heart eased a little.

"What do you want to say to me? You can say it now."

She meekly knelt on the ground, revealing a smooth and white neck, and the words she spoke were not docile, and could even be called bold:

"Please also ask Your Highness to keep the rest of the people away. If the matter is not kept secret, there will be harm."

Xu Shu sat up slightly. Her mother had warned her since she was a child that people who were from a humble background but had read books, and people who were illiterate but knew the truth should be taken seriously even if they could not be used by themselves.

"Have you ever read a book?"

"This slave once knew a few words."

"People who can only read a few words can't say this. However, everyone has their own circumstances, and I won't get to the bottom of it. If you really have something to say, then say it."

The kneeling maid raised her head slightly and glanced at Ah Wei, then gritted her teeth and said:

"The princess is still sleeping here, but your father is about to be kicked out of the house! No one in the whole house has informed you. It can be seen... it can be seen..."

"As a child, how can you just watch your father suffer this humiliation? After today is over, who can believe that you have been kept in the dark from the beginning to the end? People will only say that you are afraid of power and abandon filial piety. Princess Your Highness, I want to trap you into injustice!"

Xu Shu stood up suddenly, and Awei, who was still helping her hair, didn't react and pulled out a few strands of her hair.

But Xu Shu didn't have time to care about this. She held the dressing table with her hands and took a few steps forward, as if she was about to go out to stop something, but she quickly stopped again.

Ah Wei was stunned for a moment by these changes. She was not a very capable maidservant. The reason why she was sent to the princess's only daughter was because she was loyal and didn't have the scheming to exert too much influence on the little master. body.

It's just that even the most obtuse person feels that things are about to get worse at this time.

She didn't know what His Highness would do to the Prince Consort, but she knew that if the Princess was allowed to question His Highness, there would be a gap between mother and daughter.

If it comes to such a field, His Highness will suffer too much, and the princess will suffer too.

"Princess Princess, her identity is unknown. How much of what she said is true or false needs to be carefully investigated. If she questions His Highness's decision based on just one word of her words, I am afraid that it will play into someone's mind. What's more, His Highness I care about you so much, and even endured the things that happened to the Xu family for you, how could I really expel the consort?"

Xu Shu had already reacted without Ah Wei's persuasion.

After all, she is more sensitive, and even her mother will not make a decision on such a big matter as divorce, and will definitely communicate with her and make arrangements in advance.

Xu Shu sat back down again, and then looked at the kneeling maid, the suspicion in her eyes grew a bit stronger.

A rough maid, good-looking, eloquent, and able to find an opportunity to come to her to estrange family ties in the princess's mansion, which is controlled by her mother-in-law, is really an amazing character.

Xu Shu took a sip of tea, then put the teacup on the table, made a moderate sound, and asked:
"Who purchased her? In what year did she enter the palace? Are there any relatives alive?"

The maid at the door quickly left.

After a while, Huang, the manager of the garden, walked in quickly and fearfully.

Xu Shu had some impressions of this person.

He was originally in charge of purchasing matters in the house, but later he somehow annoyed her father.

At that time, the relationship between father and mother was pretty good, and a mother who was in charge couldn't bear to refute my father's face, not to mention that after doing shopping for a long time, she could always pick out some mistakes of corruption, so she just sent him off.

only……

A steward who offended her father, but took care of the servant girl who spoke for her father, and let people touch her outside the courtyard so easily...

"Tell me who she is."

Huang Guan fearfully recognized the fault of poor supervision beforehand, and then reported in detail:
"When she was the son-in-law's birthday last year, the old lady of the Xu family sent it with the congratulatory gift. She said that she was a servant, knew the rules, and knew how to treat doctors. It's just that the princess felt that she was a bit unruly and said that she wanted to grind her temper. Looking at her Knowing medical theory, thinking of always giving full play to her abilities, she was put in the garden to take care of the rare birds."

last year……

Last year was a year when many things happened. It was a year when Xu Jiazhi was very proud, and it was also a year when her mother struggled.

Xu Shu took another deep look at the maid: So the Xu family felt really bad for sending such a person at such a time.

Xu Shu was even a little angry and laughed.

Grandma always said that the Xu family is shallow-minded and easy to control and teach. However, no matter how shallow-minded a person is, they can still do it once they truly want to disgust someone.

"Okay, very good. I still have such a loyal servant in my family, but it's actually the pearl that secretly cast it. He's really capable..."

Go, Awei, go to your mother, find out her deed, and return it to my good grandmother. Since she is a loyal servant, how can she not be allowed to accompany her master through thick and thin? "
