After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Bai Qingyun blinked at Bai's mother and asked mischievously, "Mother, did your maid hear about the fate of their family on the street?"

How could such a thing as taking someone's family as hostage become a public topic and spread to the ears of the people?

People are very secretive about the topic of the royal family and will not touch on it easily.

Generally speaking, those who dare to speak are speaking for the royal family.

For example, the eldest princess only brought her personal maid with her to observe mourning. When she heard that her brother was seriously ill, she hurried back. When she entered the imperial city, she was stopped by a country girl...

Things like these are all how Du Weixuan has accumulated a good reputation among the people.

Such a reputation would not threaten the imperial power, but on the contrary would maintain the authority of the royal family.

The eldest princess was stopped outside the city gate and did not use her privileges at will. Afterwards, she generously forgave the country girl.

Not only that, he also kept the disabled girl by his side and did not despise her at all.

Only such speech will be allowed to spread among the people.

Madam Su had obviously anticipated this question, and she said bluntly, "Madam later met Jiang...Muli!"

He didn't even use a questioning tone, but said it with certainty.

Bai's mother had not intended to mention it, but she didn't expect that the two people chatting today were really much smarter than the child's father.

After Jiang's father and mother came to Dayang Village, they were always able to intentionally or unintentionally evoke memories of their past.

Although he is not as carefree as the people in the village, he is also a person who is truly loved by his parents.

Whenever she talked about the hardships she had experienced in her studies, or the exclusion she had suffered from her second uncle's family in the Jiang family, her father would always hug her with a look of pity on his face and comfort her softly, and then she would be unable to sleep the whole night.

He didn't expect that the level of meticulousness of these two people could not be compared with his father.

Bai's mother said somewhat embarrassedly: "When I ran away from my marriage..."

"At that time, the eldest princess had already gone to the Royal Temple to pray for the eldest and second princes. Mu Li followed the eldest princess's order and went back to the princess's mansion to get some things."

"When I saw her, I was also stunned. The people sent by my parents were chasing me closely. I was afraid that she would betray me!"

"But she didn't even ask any questions and directly asked the driver to drive the carriage out of the city. She even helped me avoid the inspection of the soldiers guarding the city."

Bai Qingyun was surprised by this person's change, and said to Bai's mother with a smile: "Doesn't that mean that it is thanks to her that we have such a good mother!"

Bai's mother doted on Bai Qingyun's nose and said with a smile, "Yes, without her, I might not be alive. I'm waiting for your father to save me!"

"After we left the city, she took me directly to the eldest princess' farm in the countryside. It was then that I learned that her whole family had been taken in to live there."

"Aren't they the hostages specially arranged by the Grand Princess? How can they meet easily?"

This is quite different from ordinary protons. Not only do they allow the two parties to meet frequently, but they don't even hide the location?

"Hostages, that was for the Jiang family to hear. They were living well. Muli's brother was highly regarded by the eldest princess. At that time, I heard that he would take over the old steward and become the new steward of the manor."

"I think it should be done now."

"Then how did Muli gain the trust of the eldest princess?" the two asked in confusion.

This time, Bai's mother did not tell the two the answer easily, but smiled mysteriously, until Bai Qingyun could not help but put aside his face and hugged Bai's mother's arm and acted coquettishly, which moved Bai's mother.

Madam Su looked at Bai Qingyun, whom she "had never met before", and was frightened to such an extent that she almost ran away from him, for fear of getting too close.

Shamelessness is notoriously contagious.

Bai's mother poked Bai Qingyun's forehead and said, "You two, have you forgotten who Madam was with before?"

Bai Qingyun replied confidently: "I haven't forgotten, the late queen!"

Bai's mother rolled her eyes at Bai Qingyun, wondering where all her cleverness had gone!

Bai Qingyun thought about it carefully for a while, and under the contempt of his mother, he quickly figured out the key point.

The eldest princess is the biological daughter of the late queen, so naturally she knows the nanny.

Then he glanced at Bai's mother and said uncertainly, "Mother...you don't want to say that it was Madam who asked someone to rescue Muli, right?"

"Otherwise, at that time, who would have the ability to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to save people!" Bai's mother looked at Bai Qingyun unhappily and said.

"So, Mu Li's family is only a nominal hostage. Just because of your highness's life-saving grace, Mu Li will not easily betray the princess!"

Madam Su didn't want to be classified as a "stupid" person like Bai Qingyun by Bai's mother, so she spoke quickly.

Bai's mother: "Not only that, when the eldest princess was...hunted down, it was Mu Li who blocked an arrow for His Highness, so that the eldest princess was able to reach the Imperial Temple safely."

Bai Qingyun heard about the situation during that period from Wei Xi.

At that time, the eldest prince and the second prince contracted the disease after returning from fighting the epidemic and both died, making the situation in the court tense.

The Chu family naturally supported the second prince, and now that he was gone, the eldest prince was also gone. They wanted His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the cause of death of the two princes.

But Your Majesty is immersed in the grief of losing his son and has no energy left.

However, everyone knows that the result of this investigation is nothing more than pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, which will only damage the power of both sides and will do more harm than good.

What's more, it goes without saying who was responsible for the second prince's death. It was the eldest prince.

And weren’t the injuries on the eldest prince also caused by people they arranged?

No one is a good person, and no one has clean hands. All these are destined to disappear into the dust with the death of the two princes.

But this did not affect the Chu family's decision to transfer their anger to the eldest princess Wei Xuan.

They were all born to the late queen. Why is it that the Chu family is now completely wiped out while the peasant woman's children are still alive and well in this world?

The Chu family was also very careful in their actions. Seeing that His Majesty had no time to care about his other children and was only concerned with his own grief, he was unable to consider the long-term.

The eldest princess seemed to have anticipated this and asked to go to the Royal Temple to pray for blessings. She didn't even have time to pack her things before she hurriedly set off.

Fortunately, after the death of the late queen, His Majesty has never relaxed his attention on the safety of the princes and princesses. Although the number of secret guards around him is limited, the guards in the princess's mansion are all good fighters.

But the Chu family had anticipated that the people they sent out would not be so easy to deal with.

In close combat, every assassin's weapon was clearly pointed at the princess.

Most of those guards are men, and they cannot protect His Highness closely, which gives the killer an opportunity to take advantage.

Unexpectedly, this also gave Mu Li the opportunity to express his loyalty.

Bai Qingyun recalled and said: "It seems that Mu Li has found a good way to make a living for himself!"
