Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 343

She had felt nervous for the first two times. Then she found that nobody noticed her outfit, so she became much bolder. Besides, she didn't expect that Qi'er would be taken here by the guards today. She was so anxious that she forgot to take off the ear lobe. She didn't expect that Yun Shang was here and the first thing Yun Shang said to her was this.

Others didn't think of that too.

Lady Ya looked at Qin Meng's eardrop, and remained silent for a moment. Then she said, "I've heard that there's no family around Meng Jieyu outside the palace, and no one has ever visited her..."

The underlying meaning of this sentence was that the origin of her ear ring was very strange.

Emperor Ning kept silent for a while. He knew that Yun Shang wouldn't mention something about the ear drop without any reason. He looked up and asked, "who gave you the ear ring?"

Qin Meng bit her lip and did not answer.

Yun Shang smiled. "On behalf of Meng Jieyu, I'll answer your question, father. The ear studs are brought in by Qi'er's relatives every month when they visited her in the imperial palace. It's pretty normal that the servant sends gifts to the master, but I asked the price of the ear ring the other day. It seems to be three or two bucks of gold? I have no idea that your maid is also so rich, Meng Jieyu. Besides, it seems that it's not the first time I have seen you wearing such valuable things, Meng Jieyu." She paused before looking at Qin Meng with contempt, "the old maid said the perch fish meat was brought into the palace by Qi'er just now. If you want to frame lady Jin, wipe the traces off."

Qin Meng shuddered at her words. She quickly raised her voice, "it's nonsense. Why did Qi'er tell her about this?"

Yun Shang smiled again at Qin Meng's words. No wonder she always thought Qin Meng would never be able to achieve great things. Qin Meng was only a maid before she became a concubine, and it was said that she couldn't write and read. She came from a poor and miserable family. Although she had seen all the tricks of the late empress, she was still not the late empress. Even though she had learned some tricks, she couldn't learn from the empress who had used her identity to build her connections in the past twenty years. Nor could she learn the empress who was still calm in spite of her anger and dangerous situation.

After all, she just wanted to be a contemptible scoundrel and was not presentable at all.

Yun Shang turned to look at Qi'er, who frowned a little when Qin Meng uttered those words, as if she was blaming Qin Meng for being stupid.

Yun Shang felt it interesting. The maid was much smarted than Qin Meng. Yun Shang didn't know who was the maid's real master, but she had only a few enemies in the Imperial City, Jing Wenxi and Ning Hua Jing were the most obvious ones. When she first saw Qin Meng wear the bead from outside the palace, Ning Huajing was not in the imperial city. Is it possible that Jing Wenxi or Jing Kui did this?
