The Madam Gu and Gu Qin Wan were clueless about the situation. They felt as if something was not under their control, so they panicked a little.

Madam Gu was the first to suppress the shock in her heart, and welcomed Gu Qinglan with a smile: "Lan'er, where did you go to play? What nonsense! Eunuch Zhang has been waiting for you! "

Zhang An tilted his body to the side and didn't receive her bow. Instead, he said, "Princess, you're too serious.

In the past, Gu Qinglan did not mind the rewards, after all, as the young miss of the general's household, she would definitely eat and drink a lot, so if the Madam Gu s did not give the rewards to her, she would not ask for them.

Even those young eunuchs wouldn't waste time waiting for her, let alone Zhang An, the eunuch in charge.

Moreover, Zhang An had never called himself an old servant in front of her before.

Qinglan smiled, he didn't bother with this matter too much, as he had some guesses in his heart.

"Eunuch will not mind at all, that's because of the big measure." Lan's gaze swept across the Madam Gu, swept past Gu Qin Wan, and finally landed on Xiang Lian who was quietly waiting at the side. "But my underlings have deceived me, delaying my precious time, so I cannot let them go so easily."

Zhang An was startled, and turned to look at Xiang Lian following the gaze of Qinglan. He remembered that the servant had entered in a hurry and reported that the Princess Zhaoyang could not find her. Hearing Qinglan's tone, it was likely that there was something more to the story. For a moment, the expression on her face darkened.

Xiang Lian was not stupid, she immediately understood the meaning behind Qinglan's words, and fiercely raised her head to look at Qinglan. A trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she asked: "First Miss, what do you mean by that? This servant has always been obedient, and will never maliciously deceive Master. "

A slave? Qinglan pursed her lips. At this moment, she knew that she was calling herself a servant. She also knew that she had to call her Eldest Miss. When she was faking sleep on the fake mountain, this Xiang Lian had spoken with his mouth wide open!

QingLan saw through the loathing in Xiang Lian's eyes and said calmly: "Since the Eunuch Zhang is here to pass down the decree, why don't you go to the Purple Bamboo Courtyard and call for me? Mother just asked me where I went to play... Where did I go? As my personal servant girl, don't you know? "

Xiang Lian was startled, and immediately explained: "Young miss, you cannot slander me! Eldest Miss, you've never told this servant where you're going, so how would this servant know where you're going! Just now, this servant clearly did not see the young miss at the Purple Bamboo Courtyard, so I asked quite a few maids along the way. They all said that they did not see the young miss! This servant cannot find Eldest Miss, nor can I delay the time of those nobles in the palace. That's why I came to report to you like this! "

Xiang Lian spoke sincerely, she did not seem to be lying at all.

"Big sister, don't be so fierce. You've scared your own maid to death, and mother has to find you another one. You're so picky, but mother doesn't know how much effort it will take to find one that suits you."

Gu Qinwan's words contained a lot of information. The word "again" meant that this was not the first time something like this had happened, which confirmed the rumor that Qinglan's violent nature was not out of the blue when she was being cruel to her servants.

Everyone present were smart people. Eunuch Zhang had been in the palace for so many years and he understood what was going on, but he did not say much.

Madam Gu thought for a bit, thinking that Xiang Lian didn't have the guts to lie in front of so many people, and even said it with confidence. Maybe she really did not find Gu Qinglan that slut just now. Gu Qinglan was at odds with Xiang Lian, maybe she was worried that she would ruin her reputation in front of the Eunuch Zhang.

Madam Gu sneered from the bottom of her heart, she thought to herself, isn't it a little too late for me to defend my own reputation! As a result, she didn't stop the mockery Gu QIngwan held in her words towards Qinglan.

Qinglan smirked as he turned to ask Zhang An, "Eunuch, how should you punish a slave who cheated on her master, was exposed, and then took a bite out of her master's mouth?"
