Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Chapter 283 Where is Sister Lian?

After Qu Yingying's repeated requests, the Eighth Princess had no choice but to agree and ordered her personal maid to help her up.

"Help Madam to rest"

Ning Xinyun assured, "Since the fishmonger has done you a favor, I have no choice but to save her. It's just that it's difficult to communicate with Fifth Sister, so it will take some time."

"Thank you, Princess," Qu Yingying thanked gratefully.

"You should take good care of yourself. I will come to see you another day."

"Farewell to the Eighth Princess"

After the people walked away, until there was no trace of them. Xiaohuan, the maid who had been staying beside Qu Yingying, had long been unhappy. The previous fifth princess was arrogant and eccentric. The current eighth princess was not a good egg either. The young lady was sick, and she was obviously doing it on purpose.

I couldn't help but complain, "Miss, you are still thanking her. She made your condition worse and you have to stay in bed for a while."

No matter what Ning Xinyun's purpose was, she was the one who brought the news to herself. Qu Yingying closed her eyes and said, "Xiaohuan, bring more money and find some reliable people to go to the Princess's Mansion to inquire about the situation of the fishmongering girl."

"Yes"

After leaving Xie's house, Ning Xinyun was washing her hands in the carriage. Cui Huan asked, "Why does the princess bother with Madam Xie?"

Ning Xinyun wiped her hands with a smile and handed her the handkerchief, "Do you really think she is Mrs. Xie?"

"Qu Family Concubine"

"No, she has a secret, and I'm afraid she doesn't know it herself." Otherwise, why would the third brother be engaged to her, Qu Yingying? The third brother and her, Ning Xinyue, have the same father and mother, so she naturally knows something about her mother's secret.

My brother was not interested in the arranged marriage, and he did not take it seriously even if something happened to Qu Yingying. If my mother had not been angry, she would not have known that Qu Yingying's dead mother was a member of the Wang family army stationed at the border.

There was turmoil on the border back then, and countless people in the Wang family were killed or injured. Now the only one left alive is Wang Feihu, who is also Qu Yingying's uncle.

If her mother, the imperial concubine, had not met the Wang family, she would not have known about this. I am afraid that Wang Feihu still thinks that he is alone now, which is why he has not returned yet.

It's a pity that the third brother found out too late, and this piece of fat meat became someone else's. As for why he was obsessed with Qu Yingying's token of love, it was the token of Wang Jiajun. If he succeeded, it would be of great help to the third brother to ascend the throne in the future.

The fishmonger in the cell was named Xia Lian. She didn’t know what happened. She just went to the pawn shop and was arrested.

They tortured her without a word, until a brightly dressed woman interrogated her and found out that she was the suspect in the murder of Mrs. Xie. But she defended herself by saying that it was the reward for saving people.

Even if Xia Lian protested her innocence, it was of no avail as she was hit with the stick again and again.

She didn't understand what she had done wrong. Was she going to die just for a bracelet?

In a trance, Xia Lian shouted, "Brother Dali, save me." The only person she could think of at this moment was someone who could save her.

It seemed like a vague figure in my memory appeared in my mind.

The beating did not stop until the person fainted.

A memory slowly emerged, but she couldn't remember who it was.

I only remember that Dalige called the woman the boss and that Dalige was a monster. Later, her indenture contract was returned to her, and it was given to her by a masked man. In order to remember her lifesaver, Xia Lian threatened to write an IOU, and she thought the person looked familiar.

It turned out to be Dali Ge, he worked in vain. He wasted so much money.

Xia Lian was lying on a haystack, surrounded by a foul smell. After waking up, she stared at the top of her head in a daze.

I have been working very hard to live, I am just a little greedy, what's wrong with that. I didn't steal or rob, why?

It was difficult to turn over now. She lay straight in pain. Even if she felt sleepy, she didn't dare close her eyes for fear that she would not wake up.

"No, I can't just sit there and wait like this." She endured the pain and stood up. The hay beside her was already stained red.

Fortunately, the place where he was imprisoned was a dilapidated small woodshed, and hope for life appeared in his decadent and dim eyes.

There was only one lock on the door, which was no problem for her. Xia Lian looked around, trying to find something handy, and finally found a rusty wire in the corner.

Taking advantage of the darkness, after much effort, she finally managed to pry open the lock on the door. Xia Lian fell to the ground, not caring about the pain in her body, she lay on the ground and looked for anyone.

Because the place where she was imprisoned was remote and there were not many people around.

But I just used up all my strength trying to open the lock. What should I do now?

Is my life going to end here? "No, I still want to find Brother Dali, I have something to ask him." Xia Lian rested for a moment and struggled again.

Suddenly two figures jumped down from the high wall and she was so scared that she dared not move.

Those two dark shadows were sneaky, but unfortunately we were cautious as usual.

"You said Miss Xia Lian was imprisoned here, are you sure?"

"Shh, keep your voice down"

"Ah" the man guessed something and screamed out with a startle.

"Brother, you stepped on my hand." When the two of them mentioned her in their conversation, Xia Lian hadn't spoken yet when she felt a pain on the back of her hand. She hadn't even screamed yet, but the man kept screaming.

As a result, the guards at the princess's mansion captured the two men and learned that the person they were looking for was right under their feet.

The two were very happy at first, "We finally found you, Miss Xia Lian, we are here to save you."

It was the first time that Xia Lian heard someone call her Miss and she was very happy. But when she heard someone save her, she smiled helplessly.

"It's okay, we still have people."

"really?"

Then I saw three or four more people were arrested, all of whom were here to inquire about her.

Xia Lian thought that she was no longer afraid because she had a companion.

"I'm sorry to have caused you trouble." But I don't know who contacted them.

After they explained the whole story and found out that the matter had not been accomplished, they simply went to the Xie Mansion to look for a job, also to express their gratitude for not killing them.

As a result, he fell into the hands of the princess, which was like walking into a trap.

"So that's how it is. You guys deserve to die," Xia Lian cursed. "You actually want to harm someone just for a little money."

“We’ve all been punished.”

"In my opinion, you don't deserve to die, you are just scum." Thinking of herself being with them, Xia Lian ignored the pain and stayed away from them.

Now that there was such a commotion, a bunch of them were tied up. I couldn't help but sigh. I finally managed to break free from the ropes in the suburbs, but now I was tied up again.

“What can we do?”

"Others who survived a great disaster will have good fortune in the future, but we will definitely have a disaster."

“It’s what he deserves.”

But everything has a chance to turn around, because the next day a rare guest came to the princess's mansion.

Ning Fanghua had never expected that the reclusive King Li would come to visit her, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked her for someone.

"Hand over Sister Lian quickly!" Xiong Dali, who came with them, was very anxious and yelled at people. The guards beside Ning Fanghua drew their swords and pointed them at him.

Ning Fanghua was puzzled, "If the emperor's uncle wants someone, he just needs to come to my princess's mansion in person."

Ning Fanghua felt very unhappy when she thought about what happened last time.

Wu Xin scolded the man to leave, saying he was so impulsive. I should have told him not to bring him along.

"A fishmonger. I heard someone brought her into the princess's mansion yesterday, and there has been no news since then."

"Fish seller" Ning Fanghua frowned, "Uncle, where do you think I am? Why is a fish seller here?"

"Is the emperor's uncle drunk and trying to make fun of me?"

"Oh, really!" Wu Xin sighed, "That person is from my palace. He happened to be missing yesterday. He also happened to be related to you, my niece."

"What a coincidence." Ning Fanghua never thought that this fish-selling girl was involved with the emperor's uncle. She must be looking for trouble.
