"This king has a distinguished status, how can he take in people of unknown origin?"
"As long as King Jing is willing to take it in, the untouchables will no longer be people of unknown origin." The young man replied calmly, "Although the untouchables are not talented, they are loyal and will never betray."
King Jing was silent for a moment, then slowly took out the yellow silk from the envelope, looked at it carefully for a moment, and was about to put it away, but found a word written on the inside of the envelope - "Fan".
Jing Wang and Wei Ding's eyes flashed at the same time.
"This king has no shortage of loyal servants, but this king is about to enter the capital, and the horses in the house may not be taken care of. Would you like to be this king's stable boy?"
"Untouchables are willing." The boy was overjoyed.
A few days later, Qi Surong received the news that Yuan Xi had entered King Jing's mansion. She was happy for Yuan Xi, but she didn't know that danger was approaching her.
"Miss, Mrs. Su's daughter invites you to visit the manor for a while." Ping'er reported.
"The daughter of Master Su's family?" Qi Surong asked, "Can you tell me what's the matter?"
"Miss Su is going to a tea party this afternoon, and I want to ask the lady to dress her up."
Qi Surong thought for a while and said, "Go help me refuse, just say I'm not feeling well."
Ping'er went out to answer, and when she came back, her face was confused: "That person said that Miss Su accidentally hurt her face a few days ago and was afraid to see anyone, but this tea party was invited by the prime minister's daughter, so it's hard to refuse, in order to avoid loss. Yi, I can only ask the lady to help and find a way to cover up the scars on her face."
Qi Surong was quite hesitant. She knew that noble girls valued appearance very much. If she attended a party with an injury, it would be a small thing to be ridiculed by others, and a big thing to offend the powerful. The daughter of the Su family is relatively introverted and has no conflict with her. It's okay to help her this time.
Thinking of this, she asked Ping'er to respond to the invitation of the Su family.
After talking to Qi's mother, Qi Surong took Ping'er to Su's house in a carriage. The Su family's status in the court was not high, and they acted quite neutrally. They rarely made enemies, and they did not have any particularly prominent political opinions.
Qi Surong was led by the servant to a room.
The servant bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, girl, and the villain will report to the young lady."
Qi Surong nodded.
After a while, the servant returned and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, the lady is entertaining guests, so I need to delay for some time."
"It's okay." Qi Surong sat at the table with no impatience on his face.
The servant said again: "Miss not long ago asked someone to buy a batch of fabrics and put them in the warehouse. Miss asked the villain to fetch it and ask the girl to help you choose it and make a skirt."
"Okay, it's work."
The servant was about to leave, and suddenly, as if thinking of something, he said to Qi Surong: "There may be a lot of things. Can you ask the girl's girl to come and help? The girls in the house have gone to entertain the female guests, and I can't call anyone for a while."
"Well, Ping'er, you can go with this little brother." Qi Surong nodded in agreement without thinking about it.
After the two left, Qi Surong stayed in the room alone, there was no sound around, there was not even a girl serving tea, it seemed that they all went to the front hall to greet the guests. don't know who came to the Su Mansion. was in a hurry before and didn't have time to listen to the news.
But after a while, the door made a creaking noise. Qi Surong thought it was Ping'er coming back and didn't care, but she didn't want a pair of arms to suddenly hug her from behind, her body shape and arm strength obviously belonged to a man.
Qi Surong's face changed greatly, she struggled to break free, turned around and looked, it was actually Cao Xiang who had threatened to marry her as a concubine.
"You, why are you here?" she asked.
"Of course I came here by invitation." Cao Xiang approached him and smiled evilly, "When I saw you that day, I thought like crazy. If you don't want to be your concubine, then you can spend a time with the next spring night. Solve the pain of lovesickness below."
"Shameless!" Qi Surong turned around and ran towards the door. Unexpectedly, Cao Xiang pulled him back before his hand touched the doorknob. With a forceful toss, Qi Surong staggered and fell to the back room.
She knew that she was being framed, but it didn't help, so she could only find a way to escape from here first. Even if she died, she didn't want to be tainted by this villain.
"Aren't you self-proclaimed virtuous?" Cao Xiang said disdainfully, "Today I want to see how virtuous you are?"
He grabbed Qi Surong's arm and dragged it to the bed. Qi Su tolerated the nausea, quickly grabbed a handful of chili powder from the bag, and slammed it into Cao Xiang's eyes.
"Ah!" Cao Xiang covered his eyes and threw himself on the bed.
Qi Surong took the opportunity to withdraw and ran out of the room without daring to stay.
As soon as he ran out of the room, he heard a muffled sound behind him. She glanced back hastily, and saw that Cao Xiang seemed to hit the bedpost in the confusion.
"What happened?" A surprised voice suddenly entered Qi Surong's ears. She was in a bad mood, although she knew that there must be someone waiting for her to enter the urn outside the door, but now she can't avoid it.
She stood on the spot and looked at the prestige, only to see Miss Su walking along with four or five women.
She knew all these women. They were either famous ladies or young ladies. All of them had expressions of consternation and doubt on their faces, whether it was true or false, it was difficult to distinguish.
At this time, Cao Xiang's voice came from the room: "My eyes, my eyes... Come on! My eyes can't see!"
Miss Su hurriedly called a servant to check in the room, then looked at Qi Surong and asked, "Miss Qi, what happened just now?"
Qi Surong looked at them indifferently, and said coldly, "A man broke into the room just now, intending to do me wrong."
"You are talking nonsense!" Cao Xiang walked out with the help of his servant, covered his red eyes, and said angrily, "I do have a lot of admiration for you. There may be inappropriate words, but nothing wrong."
Qi Surong looked at him coldly: "There is absolutely no wrongdoing? If you really know the courtesy, why would you break into the room rashly?"
"Didn't you invite me in?" Cao Xiang said angrily, "Why are you accusing me now? Last year, you used a bloody poem to make me lose face among scholars, and I have no hope of career since then. Now we meet, but this is the case. What is your intention to slander me? Do you still want to use this to show your purity?"
