Xiao Yunxi and his group had just arrived at the hot spring villa. They were directing the servants to pack up and prepare the barbecue and bonfire for dinner when they heard a maid come to report that the Princess of Yongning had arrived.
"Ah my, it seems I came at the right time."
Mu Qingyun, the Princess of Yongning County, came to the farm under the guidance of a little maid, and saw Xiao Yunxi and Xia He skewering meat, while a boy of seven or eight years old was studying how to make fire by drilling wood.
Seeing someone, Xiao Yunxi quickly instructed the maid to bring a chair to Mu Qingyun, "This is perfect, come and skewer the meat!"
"You little bitch, you invited me here as a guest, not to work for you!"
Mu Qingyun was not forgiving in his words, but he sat down and worked consciously.
"Hmph, the guest should follow the host, don't you understand?" Xiao Yunxi kept her hands busy, raised her head and gestured for Lu Zhan to salute, "Zhan'er, come here, pay your respects to the Princess of Yongning County, say something nice, and you'll get a big red envelope!"
"Lu Zhan greets the Princess of Yongning County!" Lu Zhan had been standing aside since Mu Qingyun came in. After Xiao Yunxi signaled, he hurried forward to pay his respects.
Mu Qingyun had long known that Xiao Yunxi cared about this child, so she asked her personal maid Yue'er to bring the gift that had been prepared in advance.
"Good boy, call me Auntie Yun from now on."
Lu Zhan looked at Xiao Yunxi, and only when he saw her nod did he dare to step forward and accept the gift, "Thank you, Aunt Yun."
Seeing how Lu Zhan respected Xiao Yunxi, Mu Qingyun smiled more sincerely.
"I also brought a pony with me today. You and the guards can go play with it."
Seeing Lu Zhan's excited eyes, Xiao Yunxi waited for her to speak, "Go, be careful."
"Yeah!" Lu Zhan ran out impatiently.
"This child looks innocent. I heard that your second brother is teaching him some lessons?" After washing his hands, Mu Qingyun also started to skewer the meat.
"Yes, it's rare that the Lu family, with all its bad bamboos, can produce such a good bamboo shoot!"
"You really don't want to give birth yourself?"
"Going through the gates of hell for such a cheap man?!" Xiao Yunxi pouted, "I don't want to!"
Mu Qingyun knew that Xiao Yunxi hated Lu Jingting, so she didn't ask any more questions.
"I have brought the person you asked me to find. He is outside. Do you want to see him now?"
Xiao Yunxi glanced outside and told Chunxiao, "Let them in."
Chun Xiao walked out and glanced up and down at the two people standing outside, "Two girls, the princess wants to see you!"
The two of them bowed their heads, walked in properly, and knelt in the yard, "Your servant Cuiwei (Hongyu) greets the princess."
Xiao Yunxi looked at the two people who were timid and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Raise your heads."
Cuiwei on the left was wearing a dark blue cloth skirt with the cuffs worn white. She had delicate features but dark skin.
Hongyu on the right is wearing a green floral dress with a flowing ribbon tied around her waist. She looks petite and delicate, and her every move is charming beyond her age.
Xiao Yunxi chuckled twice and said bluntly: "Miss Hongyu, it's been a long time."
Hongyu's body trembled slightly, and she replied in a muffled voice: "Princess, I know I was wrong! Please save me!"
"What do you mean by this?"
Hongyu sobbed quietly, "Two years ago, I was sold to a merchant who came to Beijing to sell goods. A while ago, the merchant's business failed, and he wanted to sell all the maids in the mansion to brothels."
"If you hadn't sent someone to buy me back, I would have become..."
Hongyu cried so hard that she couldn't speak.
Xiao Yunxi frowned and asked in a calm voice: "Have you ever served that merchant?"
Hongyu hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, I have always been a second-class maid in the Madam's courtyard, and I have never served her closely."
Xiao Yunxi didn't say anything, and looked at Hongyu coldly, "Really?"
Hongyu's heart tightened, and she resisted the urge to wipe the sweat off her forehead. "I dare not lie to the princess."
Mu Qingyun watched coldly from the side, complaining in his heart that this servant was very thoughtful!
Xiao Yunxi continued to look at Hongyu, tapping the stone table with her slender, white fingers, "That's good. Are you willing to return to the mansion and continue to serve the prince?"
Hearing this, Hongyu was overjoyed and kowtowed immediately: "Princess, I am willing to do so! I will definitely be loyal to you!"
"By the way, Lin Wan'er is staying in the mansion as the prince's 'distant cousin', and her son and daughter have been adopted by me."
Hongyu’s eyes widened instantly. That bitch was so lucky!
She took a deep breath, her eyes filled with hatred, "I was stupid and ignorant, and was provoked by others, so I offended you again and again. Relying on the fact that I served the prince and received a few compliments, I started dreaming of becoming your principal wife!"
"It is because I am blind that I mistook a man's lust for true love."
"I have learned my lesson in the past two years and I have repented."
"Men are not as important as money!"
"I am willing to return to the palace to serve the prince. I only ask that the princess will allow me to leave the palace alive in the future because of my dedication."
After saying this, she kowtowed deeply.
Xiao Yunxi raised her eyes slightly, "As long as you serve the prince wholeheartedly, I will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."
"Thank you, Princess!"
Hongyu knew that her life and death, honor and disgrace would be in the hands of the princess from now on.
Two years ago, Lin Wan'er framed her and the prince abandoned her.
For two years, she had been hoping that the prince would come to save her.
When she was about to be sold to a brothel, it was the princess's people who saved her.
She knew that the princess would not save her for no reason, but she was not afraid.
Being able to be used means that you still have value.
She believed that as long as she submitted to the princess, she would have a place in life in the future.
In fact, it is more comfortable and free than being the prince's concubine.
There was no reason, she just wanted to believe Xiao Yunxi.
Of course, she could only trust Xiao Yunxi.
Cuiwei, who was standing next to her, kowtowed to show her loyalty before Xiao Yunxi could say anything.
"From now on, I will follow the orders of the princess and have no second thoughts!"
Xiao Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then raised her lips and smiled, "Do you know what I asked you to do?"
"I know. I will serve the prince."
"Okay, as long as you are loyal, I will find a way to remove your brother's slavery, send him to the Xiao family to study, and ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."
Xiao Yunxi's voice was soft and beautiful, revealing a calmness that made people feel awe.
"Thank you, Princess!"
"After returning home, I will raise you as concubines and give birth to children for the prince."
The two looked at each other cautiously, not sure whether this was a test from Xiao Yunxi.
Xiao Yunxi ignored their doubts and continued, "I'm sure you all know that the prince hates me and would rather adopt a son than have a legitimate child born by me. Whether you give birth to a boy or a girl, I promise you that as long as they work hard, they will have a good future."
"Of course, in addition to you, I will also select a few beautiful maids. How far you can go depends on your own efforts."
"Chunxiao, take them to wash up, change their clothes, and let them get familiar with the rules of the mansion."
After sending the two away, Xiao Yunxi continued to chat with Mu Qingyun.
