Li Lian forced a smile and said, "May I ask, sister-in-law, where is Xiaoyao now?"
Princess Yongning glanced at Li Lian and chuckled, "That maid was simply too malicious. I thought that a maid like Xiaoyao shouldn't be kept in the mansion, as keeping her would only spell trouble in the long run, so I had a broker come over and sold her. Without a contract of servitude, she was almost given away for free. That broker didn't seem like a person from Yanjing; who knows, she might have been sent out of the city by now."
A jolt went through Li Lian's heart as he looked at Princess Yongning, not knowing whether her words were true or false, nor if she had recognized Jiang Youyao's identity, and even less about how Jiang Youyao had offended her—since there were no other people in the courtyard at the time, who knows what had happened.
