After rebirth, I will be the royal aunt to the scumbag

"No, no." Mr. Hu waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this. Looking at the bloody guards surrounding him, he was so frightened that his legs weakened. He said hurriedly, "Don't bother these guards. I will think about it again. Let’s put the matter on hold for now.”

Hua Niang was naturally very happy, but Mr. Hu wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Outside the door, Xue Xueyao was listening to what was going on in the house. After hearing what was going on, she blinked and prepared to ask Gao Runiang to go to the Prince's Mansion to send a message.

However, she searched around the palace and didn't see Gao Runiang at all, and she couldn't help but wonder.

Just as she was preparing to go to the Prince's Mansion, she suddenly heard a whimper coming from the woodshed.

She hesitated for a moment, but decided to go over and find out.

What she never expected was that when she opened the door, she saw the tied up Gao Runiang.

Her face was full of shock, but she did not dare to untie the person. She only dared to tear off the cloth from the person's mouth and asked repeatedly: "Ru Niang, why are you locked up here?"

"Please help Second Miss." Gao Runiang burst into tears, "In order to make Second Miss gain face in front of the prince, I thought of getting rid of Xue Jinruo's confidant Xiaochun, but I didn't expect that she would find out and trap me here. Second young lady, you must rescue me this time."

Xue Xueyao subconsciously took two steps back.

She still remembered that she had been tied up for many days, and her body already smelled like urine, not to mention that Gao Runiang had been trapped for so many days.

"Just wait, I'll beg the prince." She said and ran out.

Gao Runiang couldn't help but feel disappointed.

She fully expected Babao and Xue Xueyao to come and save her, but in the end no one was willing to take action.

……

Xue Jinruo saw Master Hu off and was about to go to the small courtyard to ask Xue Sijian, but unexpectedly, Xue Xueyao knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Xue Yao, what are you doing?" Sheng Jingze looked at Xue Xueyao who was kneeling on the ground and frowned. He really didn't know what she was trying to do.

"My lord, please be noble and let Gao Ru Niang go. She is the only one I can speak to in this house." Xue Xueyao said with a tearful voice, but she couldn't squeeze out a single tear from her eyes. , The reason why she begged for mercy here was because Gao Runiang could still be of some use, but she didn't really want to save her life.

"What's wrong with Gao Runiang?" Sheng Jingze was very puzzled. These words were asking both Xue Xueyao and Xue Jinruo.

"Gaoruniang was locked up in the firewood shed by her sister's maid Xiaochun. She didn't get any water for several days. Now she's almost dying." Xue Xueyao knew after hearing this that Sheng Jingze didn't know about this, so she immediately added fuel to the fire. He told Gao Runiang's plight.

"Is this possible?" Sheng Jingze turned his attention to Xue Jinruo.

"Yes, but why didn't you say that the reason why Xiaochun locked Gao Runiang in the woodshed was because Gaoruniang wanted to kill her? Let me ask you, if you wanted to kill me, I would lock you in the woodshed , Do you dare to plead with the prince like this?" Xue Jinruo looked at Sheng Jingze, but turned his eyes to Xue Xueyao on the ground, especially the second half of the sentence was a killer, leaving Xue Xueyao speechless.

Seeing the undercurrent surging between the two of them, Sheng Jingze sighed and said, "Since Gao Ru Niang was at fault first and intended to murder Xiao Chun, then Xiao Chun's self-defense is naturally reasonable. In my opinion, Gao Ru Niang should be killed Get out of the house and save us from having to resort to lynching."

"I disagree."

"no!"

Unexpectedly, Xue Jinruo and Xue Xueyao reached a rare agreement this time. They both disagreed with Sheng Jingze driving Gao Runiang out of the house.

The reason why Xue Xueyao disagreed was naturally because Gao Runiang was now her most effective assistant.

However, she could not state the reason why Xue Jinruo disagreed openly. She just said in Sheng Jingze's ear: "Gaoruniang is not the real lady of the Gao family, but some people don't know that I already know it. I must take advantage of this." , in order to turn passivity into initiative.”

Xue Xueyao was also curious about what the two were talking about. She listened for a while but heard nothing, so she had to retract her ears angrily.

After hearing the words, Sheng Jingze thought about it for a while, and then said: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the life penalty cannot be escaped. In my opinion, we should put her in a water prison first."

Xue Xueyao panicked instantly after hearing this order.

If she didn't have Gao Runiang, she would have no one to advise her.

Thinking of this, she could only continue to cry: "Your Majesty, Xue Yao is a miserable person. The maids she serves around her have accidents one after another. If you lock up Ru Niang again, then Xue Yao will have to do everything herself."

She said, wiping away the tears from her eyes.

Xue Jinruo felt dizzy when he heard her pitiful look. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but say: "In that case, I'll give you Xiaoxia."

She said, not forgetting to give Xiaoxia a color.

After all, Xiaoxia was a confidant trained by Sheng Jingze. If she stayed with Xue Xueyao, she would have control of all her whereabouts.

Xue Xueyao is not stupid, so naturally she doesn't want to take Xiaoxia.

"If you don't want to, I'll ask the imperial concubine to assign you a nurturing aunt tomorrow, who can also teach you the rules." Xue Jinruo saw what she was thinking and spoke quickly.

Xue Xueyao pursed her lips. No matter how much she didn't want to, she could only bite the bullet and agree: "Okay."

"It's just..." She raised her head suddenly, "I want to go into the palace and ask for it from Concubine Min."

"Okay." Xue Jinruo agreed readily.

……

After all this was resolved, Xue Jinruo thought about going back to his house to rest.

As soon as she lay down, Xiaochun handed over the message: "Princess, Madam Cui's wife sent someone to post a message, and wanted to invite you to come over and talk about it. The slave thought that you would not be free, so she already asked someone to refuse."

"Well...how is Miss Cui's family?" After all, she is a doctor, so she always has to think about her patients.

"I have recovered. I saw Miss Cui a while ago. She was bouncing around and seemed much more cheerful than before. I think Mrs. Cui came here to thank you." Xiaochun answered truthfully.

Xue Jinruo sat up straight and suddenly thought of Qing Yutang.

She hasn't been there for many days, and she has to go there to check on the situation in the past two days.

Besides, the information she wanted to know hadn't been obtained yet.

She was about to take a nap when Xiao Yi appeared outside the door: "Princess, the evidence of the relationship between the prince and Rouran has been found."
