After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death
Chapter 172: Searching for People, Entering the Fantasy
Chuncao raised her head and interrupted her: "Nonsense! The girl said clearly that she came here to look for Qiujun who had fallen into the laundry room."
Shen Chongyao's face turned cold and he scolded, "Tell the truth!"
Lady Li was so anxious that she was sweating all over her forehead. She defended herself by saying, "Although I am stupid, I am in charge of dozens of people in the laundry room, and I remember their names and identities clearly. If you don't believe me, you can check the list yourself. There is really no Qiujun mentioned by this girl in our laundry room!"
Seeing her confident statement, Shen Chongyao could not help but exchange a glance with Chuncao and asked in a low voice: "What did Miss Ning say? Who exactly is this Qiujun?"
Chuncao glanced at Ning'er and said softly, "That maid was originally the head maid in Cangbai Hall. She was sent to the laundry room by the Madam because she angered the eldest young master."
Shen Chongyao frowned and said, "Why did you bother your young lady to come and look for such a person?" He looked at Ning'er with worry, "Your young lady is weak, how could you let her run to such a place? How can I explain to the Lord... How can I explain to the Marquis if she becomes like this!"
Shen Chongyao almost let the cat out of the bag in his anxiety, but fortunately he changed his words in time. Chuncao was focused on Ning'er at the moment and didn't notice it.
She said worriedly, "Second Master, don't you know the girl's temper? She has made up her mind, who can persuade her? We can only go along with her."
Speaking of this, Shen Chongyao nodded in agreement. If Ning'er had any slight movement, he would be more anxious than anyone else.
The Marquis's Mansion is now in a time of trouble, with major and minor issues constantly happening. At this critical juncture, he is really afraid that he will not be able to take care of anything and something will happen to this ancestral treasure. What will he have to explain to the emperor when the time comes?
He sighed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, since Miss Ning is the apple of your eye, why don't you show mercy and take her back to the palace? Why leave her in the Marquis's mansion, worrying about her and causing them to suffer?"
Shen Chongyao comforted Chuncao: "Don't worry, I sent someone to find Master Liu when I came here. Let's talk about it after she comes to see the girl."
Madam Li knelt on the ground, and the more she listened, the more frightened she became. Who on earth was this fainted girl? Why did even the Second Master speak of her in a nervous and respectful tone? Could it be that some noble lady had come to stay at the Marquis's mansion?
Once she accidentally offended such a person, she regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. If she had known this would happen, she would never dare to say a word even if she was scolded.
Chuncao looked at Shen Chongyao with tears in her eyes: "Second Master, our girl wants to find Qiujun, please help her!"
He hurriedly asked, "What's the difficulty?"
He looked at the housekeeper and sneered, "I am not unaware of the methods of you wives and mothers. Since she was sent to you, and now you can't find her, if you really investigate, do you think you will get away with it?"
"What happened here, and who did what? I won't ask anything. I only give you half an hour to find out the whereabouts of the person. If you can't hand him over by the time, I will only hold you accountable!"
Madam Li's face suddenly turned bitter. This was forcing her to do something that would offend others.
Shen Chongyao gauged his expression and said sarcastically, "You don't need to be embarrassed. I just want to tell you that today's matter, no matter who has connections, it won't work. Even if they are connected to the old lady or the marquis, don't worry about it!"

Ning'er wanted to stay awake, but she didn't expect that almost at the moment she fell down, her eyes suddenly went dark, and her whole body seemed to have fallen into the water, falling heavily.
The noise of the crowd, the panic of the spring grass, and everything around her suddenly drifted away from her at that moment, as if separated by a thick film.
In the strange light, her consciousness was like a piece of driftwood that had fallen to the bottom of the water. It was out of her control, swaying and floating to the surface.
In a daze, she had a vague thought: Am I dreaming...
I don’t know how long it took, or maybe just a moment, Ning’er heard the sound of dripping water in her ears, and she subconsciously looked in that direction.
The white light burst out, stinging her eyes and causing pain. She quickly raised her hand to block it. When she put her hand down, Ning'er suddenly found that she seemed to have come to a very familiar place.
A sharp female voice rang out: "You damned girl, you broke the young lady's embroidered gold and pearl cape, how many lives do you have to pay for it!"
She looked down at her hands in a daze. Her hands were still the same hands, but they seemed to have grown a little bigger. They were just more bony, with distinct joints, and thick calluses on the fingertips and pads.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the woman seemed to get even angrier. She picked up the clothes mallet and smashed it hard on her shoulder, swearing, "You've caused such a disaster, and you still want to play dumb! Don't expect anyone to speak for you this time."
The sharp and unfamiliar pain made Ning Er shiver uncontrollably. She heard her own weak voice defending herself, "Madam Li, it wasn't me. I really didn't..."
The woman threw the clothes mallet into the basin in front of her, splashing cold water all over Ning'er's head and face. She put her hands on her hips and scolded coldly: "It's you! Wu'er and Si'er saw it with their own eyes. It was you who did it. Whoever made the mistake should bear the responsibility. Now that the eldest lady has blamed you, you have no choice but to follow the nanny!"
Ning Er reached out and touched the dirty water on her face, repeating woodenly, "It really wasn't me."
Madam Li ignored her words and reached out her hand with disgust to pull her up. Her long nails dug into Ning'er's arm and she dragged her to a stern-faced old mother.
She followed him to a magnificent courtyard, and the old lady flattered a maid dressed in red and green, "Miss Caitao, the manager of the laundry said that it was this little girl who didn't know the rules and damaged the young lady's cloak. She has been brought here. You can do whatever you want with her."
Cai Tao looked at her reservedly, as if she was being insulted by talking to such a lowly servant, and said coldly: "What job do you have? You brought in a yellow-haired girl like this to touch the lady's precious cloak."
She stretched out her bright red nails and pointed at the bluestone below the steps: "Go kneel over there first, I will ask for the young lady's instructions."
The old lady seemed to obey the order and pushed Ning'er hard, shouting, "Go and kneel down!"
In the dead of winter, Ning'er, with sweat still hanging from her body and face, knelt on the hard and cold bluestone slabs, shivering in the biting cold wind.
Cold... It was too cold. The coldness that penetrated into her bones made her shiver unconsciously. Ning'er felt that something was wrong, and it seemed as if this was herself...
I don't know how long it took, so long that Ning'er was completely cold and numb, and she had no thoughts. Suddenly, there was a familiar sound of footsteps, and her heart moved inexplicably, and she forced herself to raise her head.
The man was tall and straight, with an extraordinary heroic appearance, long eyebrows reaching his temples, a pair of phoenix eyes that were intimidating without being angry, and a sullen face that made people feel intimidated.
Ning'er was stunned. It was the Marquis...
