The maid's road to success

When they finally escaped from Xiaoyu Lane, the flames were already rising into the sky. Yuxi and Liunan looked at the location of Xiaoyu Lane and couldn't hold back the tears in their eyes. After two years, they finally escaped from that damn place. Only they themselves knew that if it weren't for the safety of their families, they would have died long ago. They just didn't know that since Princess Fu'an had decided to make everyone in Xiaoyu Lane shut up, would their families be implicated?

"my little sister?"

When Yuxi was brought back by Princess Baozhu, she was using her sister as a threat. Only the handkerchiefs sent from time to time could let her know that her sister was still alive. However, she has not received any handkerchiefs made by her sister in the past six months. She doesn't know how her sister is doing now?

"Miss Yuhu was bullied by a guard leader of Princess Baozhu half a year ago. After the young master contacted you again, he sent someone to bring Miss Yuhu out and settled her in a remote mountain villa. The two elders of the Liu family were also settled in the villa. I will have someone take you two to meet them tomorrow."

Liu Nan heard that Yu Hu was in trouble, but his parents were fine, so he put his arm around Yuxi's shoulders and comforted him. The other people in the yard were more or less bewildered by Princess Baozhu's wealth and power, and only the two of them were forced to come in, and they had been protecting and relying on each other.

"I want to kill this bitch, Princess Baozhu. My sister, my sister actually, actually..."

Zhuhai handed Miss Yuhu's silver lock to Master Yuxi.

"You should recognize Miss Yuhu's silver lock. Our master means that as long as you are willing to work for him, he will help you avenge Miss Yuhu and guarantee that she can still marry and have children in the future. And Mr. Liu's parents, your parents have been ill since you were taken away, and now our master has found a doctor to take care of them. I hope you can help our master and overthrow the Grand Princess Fu'an."

Yuxi hung her sister's silver lock around her neck and looked at Xiao Yuxiang with hatred in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't let my master down. I will repay him a hundredfold for what he has done for me, as long as he can help me settle the jade pot."

Zhushan brought the two young masters to live in An Zizhong's own house. The three-story house used for the wedding had been replaced with many people because of the first time the reputation of Princess Baozhu bullying her husband spread. This time there was also a big reshuffle. An Zizhong had taken the opportunity to replace them with his own people, and only a few were still kept in the front yard.

The two young masters discussed and decided not to meet with their families. Since they decided to follow An Zizhong, it would be better to have less contact with their families. After all, it is not so safe to overthrow Princess Fu'an. It is better to be cautious. As long as they know that their families are safe, they will be fine.

Zhuhai sent two servants to serve the two young masters respectively.

"These are the men our girl has chosen who are suitable for marriage. Master Yuxi can choose one. Master Yuxi wants you to settle your sister first, and then you can work for him with peace of mind."

Yuxi didn't expect that An Zizhong had already made all the arrangements. He was finally able to muster up some energy to carefully look at the portraits and information of these men. His ancestors were also officials, but later fell into poverty, leaving only him and his sister to depend on each other. He was also thinking about studying hard and getting an official title so that he could find a loyal and honest husband for his sister to support her. Princess Baozhu ruined all of this.

"Thank you for your arrangement, sir. I'll take a look and tell you when I've made my choice."

Zhu Hai nodded.

"Well, the Master said that you can choose it yourself, and the other Masters will arrange it."

After settling Yuxi and Liunan, Zhuhai returned to An Zizhong and briefly reported what had just happened. An Zizhong drew the figure of a petite girl and just said "hmm" lightly.

Zhu Hai watched his master drawing the woman without a face again, then he shut up, pushed the door open and left.

An Wen's mother helped An Yun sort the medicinal materials. An Yun was preparing pills to help Liu Yan successfully conceive. There was also a portion for the Sixth Prince. It was difficult for An Yun and An Qing. Since they followed her to Kyoto, they had been very busy and had to stay in the pharmacy all day long.

"Girl, please leave it there. This herb has a strong smell. Don't let it get on your clothes."

An Wenniang put down the bamboo basket and looked at An Yun's busy figure.

"An Yun, I want someone to send An Rui and An Nian here, what do you think?"

An Yun raised his head and looked at An Wen in surprise, wondering why her mother said that.

"I think it's not a good idea for you four siblings to be separated like this. I didn't know that Madam Su was still here. I thought we couldn't take care of them, and I was afraid that they would be exposed because of their young age."

An Yun nodded. His two masters had helped analyze the situation at the beginning, and they also agreed that his younger brother and sister could live in Anjia Village. It was impossible not to worry, but the two of them were still young, and taking drugs to change their appearance was useless. He was also afraid that someone would recognize them and bring trouble upon them.

"My brother bought a farm in the suburbs of Kyoto. If you don't mind, you can let An Rui and An Nian live there. You can at least see each other. Just make sure you don't leave the farm. In Anjia Village, you're probably stuck in the village and can't leave at will. Isn't it the same here?"

An Yun shook her head. She knew that Wen Niang was worried about her and her brother, but she also knew that it was indeed inconvenient for them to come to Kyoto. She looked at An Wen Niang and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, girl. My brother and I are fine now. We hope they are safe and secure rather than reuniting as a family. It's good the way it is now. We are lucky to have escaped from the mines in the southwest."

An Wen's mother nodded and asked her to write a letter. They would send someone to Gongzhou to bring a group of people over recently. Then they could go and check on An Rui's situation, so that An Yun wouldn't have to dream about An Rui and An Nian.

The Sixth Prince slept in a guest room outside the imperial mausoleum. When he closed his eyes, he felt uncomfortable all over. He felt as if there was a fire burning in his heart, and his hands and feet were a little numb. He smelled the purse in his hand, which was made by Liu Yan for him before, but he still felt uncomfortable.

"Someone, go pick up Liu Yan. Be careful on the road and avoid the bumps."

The servants outside looked at each other, and the butler gave a reminder.

"Your Majesty, this is the imperial mausoleum. Miss Liu cannot come. If the Fourth Prince knew about this, I'm afraid..."

The Sixth Prince smashed the water glass on the table and scolded.

"Just answer it when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll chop you up first."

How could the head steward dare to persuade him? The master had already been distracted by the concubine and had no time to take care of Jingnan Lane. For some reason, he was hooked by that person again and it was completely out of control. The Sixth Princess gave him money to find out about the situation, but he could not say anything. He also suspected that the Sixth Prince had been drugged, but the imperial physician Yueyue took the Sixth Prince's pulse, and those were the Sixth Princess's uncles from her mother's family, and he did not find anything wrong.

Liu Yan took a carriage and went straight to the imperial mausoleum. She didn't want to come at first, but the butler said that the Sixth Prince had lost his temper, so she had to pack up and come. She knew it was Jiaoyan's fault, so she secretly hid Jiaoyan under her fingernails and swallowed the other red pill herself, thinking of Xing'er's instructions.

"Beforehand, you take the red pill, and let the Sixth Prince take the white one. After half an hour, you can have sex again. It can only be once. And the girl should not take a bath, just lie still, and then take the brown pill. You can't eat meat for a month."

Liu Yan looked at the shadow of the Royal Villa in front of the imperial mausoleum, put the white pills into the ring holder, and got off the carriage with the butler's arm. The Sixth Prince had been waiting in the room for a long time.

Liu Yan mixed the white pills in water and gave it to the Sixth Prince to drink. There was no incense burner in the room. Looking at the little bit of black showing through her fingernails, Liu Yan thought for a moment and opened the small porcelain bottle of floral dew she carried with her. She put the pills in it, waited for them to melt and mix evenly, then applied it on her neck and skin.

She also applied a little on her hair, and her long black hair hung in front of the Sixth Prince's face. The Sixth Prince, who had been waiting for two days, could no longer bear it and directly hugged Liu Yan in his arms. The sweet fragrance that floated into his nose calmed the Sixth Prince's burning heart.

"My Lord, please don't be so impatient. I have been riding the carriage for such a long time and I have sweated a lot. Please let me wash it clean."

The Sixth Prince's wet lips brushed against her long hair.

"Yan'er's sweat is also fragrant. No need to wash it. I like this smell."

Liu Yan struggled to stand up from the Sixth Prince's arms. Her red lotus bellyband had been torn loose, barely covering the beautiful scenery.

"My Lord, you bullied me again. Is this all you think about? Don't you feel sorry for me?"

The Sixth Prince was not happy with the effect of Jiao Yan's medicine, and Liu Yan still wanted to refuse, so she frowned. Liu Yan quickly stepped forward and held the Sixth Prince's hand.

"Your Majesty, please accompany me to take a shower. I am sweating and feeling uncomfortable."

Seeing Liu Yan say this, the Sixth Prince smiled again and let Liu Yan pull him into the bathroom. The servants had already prepared hot water. The Sixth Prince followed behind and stretched out his hand to untie the thin string at Liu Yan's waist. Now the bellyband was only supported by the strap around her neck to prevent it from falling off. Liu Yan blushed and shrank back, leaning in the Sixth Prince's arms.

"My Lord, please don't do this."

The Sixth Prince had only absorbed the floral dew soaked in the Delicate Beauty Pills on his hair, and he hadn't smelled it on his body yet. With just this little bit, she was afraid that the Sixth Prince wouldn't be able to hold on for two days and would have to look for her again. She had been told to stay in bed as much as possible after the incident, and she couldn't let the Prince have drug addiction again and come looking for her.

After waiting for the Sixth Prince to absorb the medicine, he hurriedly took a bath and returned to his room. After venting his anger, Liu Yan persuaded him to copy scriptures. Liu Yan lay on the bed and took the last brown medicine and slept well all night. The next day when she returned to Jingnan Lane in Kyoto, she lay on the bed and gently touched her belly, hoping that Xing'er's master could really make her pregnant.

Liu Yan was not a stupid woman. She knew that Xing'er's master must want to plot something from her, and it must be something about the Sixth Prince, but she had to accept their arrangement. The Sixth Prince's wife was too cruel and patient. If she was really loyal to the Sixth Prince and refused to accept it, she would be the one to die. Now she had only helped to pass the message once, and had not contacted her since then. Liu Yan could only hope every day that the other party was just using her to get close to the Sixth Prince, and that she would still be alive and well when everything was settled.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise, she could actually get pregnant with a child. As long as she could have a child of her own, she was willing to do things for Xing'er's master.

An Wenniang sat in a teahouse room near the gate of Kyoto City and watched the Sixth Prince's carriage drive into the city. An Yun looked at her thin coat and took out a padded jacket for her to put on.

"The young master has been promoted and is now working in the Tongzhengsi, but he is also busier. Miss, do you want to call An Lan to help you?"

An Wenniang shook her head and pulled An Yun and Bai Mei to sit down together.

"An Lan and An Huang are very busy in Gongzhou taking care of the people in Xishan. I can handle it, but it's troublesome for you to keep preparing the medicine."

An Yun didn't feel tired. She and her brother escaped from the southwest alive and could get a monthly allowance of two taels of silver. They saved it for their younger brother and sister-in-law's wedding in the future, and they could also take revenge together with An Zizhong. What was there to be dissatisfied with in such a life?

Bai Mei also feels that her life is very good now. She doesn't want to live even one day longer than she used to begging. Now she feels that she is a very useful person.

"Xing'er said that Liu Yan wants us to find a reliable person to serve the Sixth Prince. She doesn't plan to serve the Sixth Prince before giving birth, but she is afraid that the Sixth Prince will take drugs and force himself on her."

An Wenniang did not agree.

"You all know the efficacy of Jiaoyan. Our people are all young girls. Once they use it, they have to use it for the rest of their lives, otherwise they will age immediately. Didn't An Yun say that Jiaoyan can be ground into powder and made into a health-preserving snuff bottle for the Sixth Prince? There is no need to find another girl."

Bai Mei nodded. Although the two masters trained them to be spies, they would not let the girls in Black Hawk do the jobs of serving men unless they had to.

The Wen'en Pavilion opened by An Zizhong made a lot of money, and his other shops were not bad either, but the money was still not enough. It was very expensive to go to Xishan, and he had to send silver bills back regularly. Fortunately, Princess Fu'an gave An Zizhong a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and manors to compensate him.

An Wenniang also received a lot of jewelry. Zhiyuxuan has now started to make a profit and sent the first dividend. An Wenniang also wants to go and look at several houses near the Kyoto city gate. They have to be spacious and close to the city gate, which is not easy to choose.

When Madam Su saw that An Wenniang had finally returned, she showed An Wenniang the information of the two houses she had chosen.

"I have found the courtyard that Young Master Li wants today. The young lady hopes that they will not be too close to us. This is it. It costs seven hundred taels of silver. It has two entrances. The furniture in the courtyard is all ready."

An Wenniang nodded and asked her to arrange to send it to Li Changan. When she went out today, she happened to see Jin Yue sitting in a carriage going to Zhiyuxuan. Jin Yue's face was covered with a handkerchief because it was scratched by Madam Qi.

But her arrogant expression made An Wenniang feel very strange. Jin Yue was probably too arrogant now and might get into trouble. She was a prostitute who completely relied on Qi Yangchuan's power and was not restrained at all. She lived an even more luxurious life than Madam Qi.

After thinking about it, she decided to stop supplying the antidote to Wuxin Powder to Simian. She couldn't let Jin Yue ruin An Zizhong's plan, but she didn't want to really kill anyone. Stopping Jin Yue from supplying the antidote was the cruelest thing she could do.

When Yuxi was studying, he was one of the best figures in the academy. Although his reputation was ruined by Princess Baozhu, he was still capable and could always come up with unique insights on many things around An Zizhong.

Liu Nan also had a great talent for business and quickly took over many of An Zizhong's businesses, which finally made An Zizhong feel a lot more relaxed.

Yuxi looked at the letters sent from all directions. Although they were all trivial matters, careful analysis could yield a lot of useful information. No wonder An Zizhong was able to find them in Xiaoyu Lane just after he married Princess Baozhu. His information network was very wide.

I just don't know why An Zizhong has such power and wants to marry a woman like Princess Baozhu? With so much obscure information, it is completely possible that Princess Fu'an would not dare to marry him to Princess Baozhu.

"Don't think about it. The young master is not an ordinary person. I always feel that he might be plotting something else. You should do your job well. When the young master is done, we will take the money and find a place where no one knows us to start a new life."

Yuxi did not respond. He looked at the Four Books and Five Classics on the bookshelf, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes. His biggest dream was to pass the imperial examination and become an official, climbing up step by step to become a good official, but it was all ruined. He almost lost his life, and his originally obedient sister was harmed by others.
