Chapter 164

"I will teach them a lesson for the mistakes they made in the future, but this plan must not be hit. If the three planks go down, no one will be working in this courtyard. Then all the things will be piled on grandma, but ask Yue

I don’t want to burden my mother, you see…”

"Forget it, I will let the two girls plead for you today. If there is another time, I will sell you out directly. Do you hear me?"

"I heard it..." the maids said sparsely.

"You go and do your work," Jiang Wenyue said and turned around, "Mommy, please come with me, I have something to explain."

She led her grandma into the house and closed the door.

"What are the second girls doing?" Grandma was a little confused.

Jiang Wenyue didn't answer, but took out a box from the bottom of the cabinet, which contained a set of exquisitely shaped headscarves with many jade stones inlaid on them."

"Mommy, you have worked hard in our hospital these days. I have nothing to give you, so I will give you this set of masks?"

Grandma's eyes immediately lit up when she saw the jade on her head, but she couldn't believe it: "Second girl, is this really for this old slave?"

"It's indeed for you. I know that Auntie is an old lady next to the eldest lady. You have helped us a lot in the house for so many years. You deserve this. But please keep this matter a secret. Absolutely not

Tell others."

"Thank you, Miss Second, I understand."

After taking the noodles, grandma happily returned to her room, only to be dragged from the bed to the ground the next morning.

"Who are you? What are you going to do? I am the First Lady's servant. If you want to touch me, you must pass the First Lady's test!"

"Mommy, let me tell you the truth! Today we are here to take you to the main hall on the orders of the Prime Minister. It is useless for you to move the eldest lady out."

"Main hall? What are you doing in the main hall?"

"Don't ask so many questions. You'll know when you get there."

Grandma was dragged from the courtyard to the main hall. As soon as she walked in, she heard a burst of sobbing coming from inside.

"Father, that head was a gift from the prince, and it disappeared into the Prime Minister's Mansion without anyone noticing. What should my daughter answer if the prince pursues her in the future?"

"Don't worry, I have ordered people to search the whole house thoroughly," Prime Minister Jiang frowned, "If you can't find it in the house, then you can only report it to the official."

After a few cups of tea, two young men came to the main hall carrying a bundle: "Prime Minister, I found the thing, intact."

Prime Minister Jiang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Where did you find it?"

"I found it...in the room of the nun in charge of the second girl's courtyard."

"Sure enough, it's you? The servants all said that you might have taken it. I didn't believe it at first. Now that everyone has the stolen goods, what can you say? As a servant, how dare you steal the things of the girl from the Prime Minister's Mansion? Who's here?

!Take me down and beat him hard!"

The nanny on the ground looked at all this and suddenly realized that this was all a trap designed by Jiang Wenyue.

"Sir, madam, this was not stolen by the old slave. This was given to the old slave by the second girl with her own hands. The old slave is wronged!"

"What are you talking about, mama?" Jiang Wenyue looked at her with tears in her eyes, "This thing was given to me by His Highness the Crown Prince. Even if I reward you, I will only reward you with some ordinary objects. How can you treat this thing like this?"

I gave you something? You said I rewarded you with this, do you have any evidence?"

"I……"

Grandma opened her mouth but could not say a word. She and the second girl were the only two people in the room at that time. Where was she going to find evidence?

"Wenyue, she is a person in your yard after all. Tell me, how do you want to be punished?"

"After all, she is an old man from the prime minister's house. It's okay to slap her with three or four bans and expel her from the house."

"No, it can't be like this!" The eldest lady suddenly stood up.

"Mother, why can't this be like this? You previously taught Wenyue to treat your servants with kindness and power. They should never be lenient when they make mistakes. Why has it changed now?"

"After His Highness the Crown Prince returns to the capital, if he finds out that there are evil slaves who dare to steal the things he gave me, it will not be as simple as expulsion from the mansion. By then, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion may be implicated. Wenyue cannot do anything for the sake of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Don’t do it.”

The eldest lady had no choice but to watch helplessly as her confidant, the nanny, was beaten to a bloody pulp and thrown out of the house. There seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.

"Master, I am not feeling well so I have to leave now."

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Prime Minister Jiang to answer, and quickly left this place of dispute with her mother. It wasn't until she entered the house that she realized that her back was already soaked with cold sweat. Jiang Wenyue's move could be described as quite ruthless.

Mammy was hers, and executing her would undoubtedly be a slap in the face.

She can no longer let the second girl go down like this. She must find a way to hold her tightly. Only in this way will she not pose a threat to her beloved son after becoming the crown princess.

"Come here, go and call Chun Zhi, the rough servant maid."

After a while, a little maid with a pointed chin and fair skin knelt in the room: "Slave Haru Zhi has seen the eldest lady."

"Look up, I remember you said when you entered the house that you have a distant cousin? Is he in the capital recently?"

"Returning to Madam, my cousin has been staying here since he entered the city last year and has never left. He sets up a stall and makes a small living every day."

Haruzhi was not sure what the eldest lady meant when she asked her this question, so she thought carefully about her reply again and again.

"You don't need to be so nervous. I remember that your cousin sells paper umbrellas, fans and handkerchiefs. I was thinking that I could bring some gifts to the eldest daughter when I go to the Marquis Mansion later." The eldest lady kindly helped her off the ground.

Started, "You just need to tell me when your cousin will leave the stall."

Haruzhi breathed a sigh of relief and told the whole story. Before leaving the room, the eldest lady put some broken silver into her hand: "Don't tell the third person about today's questions. You can buy some rouge jewelry with this silver. In two days,

You are no longer a rough maid, but a personal maid."

"Chunzhi thanks the eldest lady! Thank you eldest lady!"

At night, the eldest lady specially ordered the kitchen to bring Jiang Wenyue a bowl of chicken soup.

"The eldest lady said that the second girl was suffering in the ancestral hall. She specially ordered someone to stew chicken soup in the hope that the girl would recover."

Jiang Wenyue's expression remained unchanged but she had already begun to guess various possibilities in her mind. The eldest lady had always regarded her as a thorn in her side and had not taken the initiative to please her. Either there was something wrong with the chicken soup or there was something wrong with this grandma.

Is she going to kill herself?

"Girl, why don't you drink?"

Jiang Wenyue picked up the bowl and drank the soup in one gulp: "Thank you for giving me a message to my mother, saying that this chicken soup tastes very good. I'm sorry for bothering you."

"Did she really drink the whole bowl of chicken soup?" The eldest lady's expression changed.

"Drink it," Mammy said. "I saw her swallow it with my own eyes. The second girl will faint in less than half an hour."

"Okay, is anyone here?"

"We have asked him to wait at a side door. He will be admitted to the hospital immediately after you give the order. Moreover, we have evidence that he owes a huge amount of money in the gambling house, so he can only be at your mercy."

Half an hour later, a dark figure sneaked into Jiang Wenyue's yard through a side door. He quietly pushed open the door, but before he could see clearly the furnishings inside, his head was twisted with a "click".

Jiang Wenyue, who had a clear look on her face, walked out from behind the screen and looked at the man on the ground with some disgust: "This is the method she used to drive my aunt out of the house before. This is the same method she used on me. It's boring."

The eldest lady only thought that Jiang Wenyue liked medical skills, and never thought about how proficient she was in medical skills. Shortly after drinking the bowl of chicken soup, she applied acupuncture on her body to disperse the medicinal properties, but the medicine had no effect on her at all.

"How will he deal with it?" Leng Ruoshuang kicked the man.

"Throw it into Madam's yard. It's best to break her hands and feet. The more miserable it is, the better. As long as it scares her."

Leng Ruoshuang nodded, carried the body and disappeared into the night, and soon returned to the yard.

Jiang Wenyue was a little curious: "You came back so soon? What did you do with the body?"

"I found a rope and hung him on the eaves. You can see it as soon as you open the door."

Jiang Wenyue nodded with satisfaction: "That's right. With Madam's temperament, she probably won't be able to sleep all night. I'll go pay her respects early tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning, the eldest lady was shocked when she heard that Jiang Wenyue was coming to say hello. She had wanted to catch the rapist when the time came yesterday, but when she opened the door, she saw a limp person hanging from the eaves.

She was so frightened that she didn't dare to close her eyes the whole night.

In the main hall, Jiang Wenyue stared at the dark circles under the eldest lady's eyes, which was a bit funny. Even if she applied thick makeup, she could not hide the fatigue on her face.

"Mother, Wenyue wishes you well."

She walked up to the eldest lady step by step with tea in hand: "Mother, you have done this wrong. Do you think that you can take advantage of me and let Jiang Xiyuan compete for favor in the Hou Mansion with peace of mind? You are wrong.

One thing, it is true that I am the Crown Princess now, but I will be the Queen in the future!"

"The Queen is facing off against a little Madam Hou. Who does mother think will win?"

She put the tea on the table, took a few steps back, lowered her eyebrows, and said, "Mom, please respect yourself. Wenyue excuses herself."

"Crazy, crazy, all crazy!" After Jiang Wenyue left, she swept the tea cup to the ground and smashed it to pieces, "I made a mistake. I never cared about her before when she was just a concubine, but what about now?

Now she actually dares to threaten me like this?"

The eldest lady regretted that she should not have agreed to Jiang Wenyue's marriage to the prince in the first place. She thought that by controlling her, she could establish a relationship with the East Palace, but who knew that the prince only recognized one princess?

"No, I must find a way to cure this little bitch, otherwise Jiao'er's life will be difficult in the future."

After thinking about it, she finally came up with a solution. Since Jiang Wenyue claimed to be the future queen, why not just choose a young and beautiful woman to come over? She heard that the prince's decision to return to Beijing had been made, and she wanted to take a look.

How can a concubine like Jiang Wenyue compete with others!

"Come here, repair a book for me and send it to my parents' family, and ask my niece Yun'er to come to Beijing and chat with me. The sooner you come, the better!"

Her niece is called Liu Xiangyun. She has a gentle temperament and good looks. She is quite outstanding even among noble girls. Such a person can outdo Jiang Wenyue no matter what!

Liu Xiangyun rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion the next day after receiving the letter.

"Aunt, these are some hometown-style foods brought to you by your father and mother. They were worried that you would be homesick in the capital and specially prepared them. This is my purse. I heard that the eldest and third girls have gone to the Hou Mansion.

Not so much to show off, this is for the second girl."

"You're not busy, please put the things aside for me to take a good look at." The eldest lady looked at her niece, and she became more and more satisfied. "You have become more and more beautiful after not seeing you for a year or two. I am afraid that the person who wants to marry you will soon find you."

Has the threshold of your home been broken through?"

"It's not that exaggerated, it's just a little bit."

"Then do you have a crush on whose young master?"

"I...Yun'er...Yun'er doesn't want to say it." She lowered her head deeply, "Yun'er is afraid that if she says it, her aunt will laugh at her."

"Why can I laugh at you since I'm your aunt? Tell me, maybe I can help you."

After Liu Xiangyun was silent for a while, he mustered up the courage to raise his head and said, "I don't want to marry the son of any family. I want... I want to marry the prince..."

Ever since she met the prince once before, she had regarded him as her property in her heart. Every time someone came to propose marriage, she would involuntarily compare him with the prince. Then she realized that no matter who the person was, he was worthless.

Only the prince best fits her image of a husband.

After she finished speaking, she was a little discouraged when she couldn't wait for a reply: "Yun'er knows that she is wishful thinking, and she also knows that His Highness the Crown Prince's candidate for the concubine has already decided on Sister Jiang Er. I don't dare to ask for the position of the concubine, as long as I can be a concubine.

As a concubine, I would be satisfied if I could enter the East Palace."

"Who says you are wishful thinking?" The eldest lady motioned for her to raise her head, "You are my niece, and I am the prime minister's wife. As long as I say a few nice words, you may enter the East Palace and become the concubine. Although you are now the concubine.

Concubine, but when the prince ascends the throne, you might become a concubine."

"I...can I really do it?" Liu Xiangyun was full of expectation.

"Why not if you have looks and talent? You can't have only one mistress in the East Palace. The prince will have to choose his concubine sooner or later. Even if it's not you, it will be someone else. But if you are willing to listen to me, then entering the East Palace will be a matter of course."

"Auntie, you said that as long as there is a way to enter the East Palace to accompany His Highness the Crown Prince, Yun'er is willing to do anything!"

"You must also know that the current Crown Princess is Jiang Wenyue, right? If you want to enter the East Palace safely, you must first establish a good relationship with her. After all, you will need her approval before you can enter the East Palace."

"Yun'er understands."

"You sit here for a while, and grandma will bring her over soon."

Liu Xiangyun sat in the main hall and waited obediently. After a while, he saw a woman in a cloak walking in. Compared with her Xiaojiabiyu appearance, Jiang Wenyue had a calmness that was inconsistent with her age. She had the innocence of a girl and the innocence of an adult.

People's stability and self-control can be found in her.

"I've seen my mother. I wonder why she asked Yue Lai?"

"Let me introduce you. This is my niece from my mother's side. Her name is Liu Xiangyun. She came to the city to accompany me this time. She is a few months younger than you. You two can be considered sisters."
