Yan Xin successfully bought the west room house outside the corner gate leading to the entrance of the alley.

“This Xihu family is all from the Jiang family, and they gathered together in the early years.

It's just that in the past twenty or thirty years, the Jiang family has stopped favoring relatives from the Ze clan and refuses to give out even a bowl of rice during holidays. "Sister-in-law Cheng said.

In front of and behind the houses of big families, clansmen with less favorable conditions would gather and receive some care on weekdays.

This is by convention.

The old man of the Jiang family passed away, and the old lady just couldn't get in or out, and didn't take her family members seriously.

In ordinary times, it would be difficult for a poor family to come to borrow some rice and grain, let alone give some money during the holidays.

The clan members gradually lost contact with the Jiang family.

If they hadn't been helpless and unable to relocate, they would have left long ago.

The money Yan Xin gave was [-]% higher than the market price, and he also ordered not to tell the Jiang family in advance, so the Xihu family happily accepted the money and moved out overnight.

Twelve adjutants from the Governor's Mansion have been delivered, and Yan Xin asked them to help with the move.

There was no news inside Jiang Mansion about this matter.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.

Yan Xin went back to her parents' house in the morning to give her grandmother a holiday gift and gave her a hundred silver dollars: "What do you usually want to eat? Ask grandma to buy it, or tell Zhu Shichang's family, don't wrong yourself."

Grandma refused to take it: "Your life will be more difficult."

"It's not difficult for me. The Governor's Mansion gave me a lot of money." Yan Xin said.

She could lie down and eat for the rest of her life.

In addition to giving money to her grandmother, Yan Xin also took several boxes of snacks and candies to Zhu Shichang's house.

She gave Zhu Shichang's wife ten silver coins and asked her to think about her grandmother's food.

"I go to see my grandmother every now and then. She sends people to tell me what she wants to eat, what she wants, and what she doesn't feel comfortable with," Yan Xin said.

The Zhu Shichang family members were all smiles and were overjoyed: "Don't worry, I will never let anyone mistreat the old lady. I have everything under my control."

Yan Xin thanks.

After having lunch in front of her grandmother, Yan Xin returned to Jiang Mansion to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

When she came back from Yan Mansion, she asked the rickshaw driver to take a shortcut, first to the southwest corner door of Jiang Mansion, and then to the main entrance.

Unexpectedly, she saw a few people at the corner gate, and Mrs. Xia, who was beside the eldest lady, personally led them in.

Yan Xin looked at it several times.

Back at Songxiangyuan, Yan Xin immediately asked Bai Shuang to go to the yard of his concubine Mai Qiu.

"You quietly ambush at the door to see who comes in and out and where they go," Yan Xin said.

Bai Shuang: "Miss, what do you need to pay special attention to?"

"Pay attention to Mrs. Xia next to the eldest wife." Yan Xin said.

Bai Shuang said yes and went immediately.

She was gone for several hours and didn't come back until almost dusk.

Because of her skill, Yan Xin was not worried about anything happening to her, but was just curious about why she had been gone for so long.

"...Western people, an old lady, a young couple, and a little girl came out of the concubine's yard.

Mrs. Xia then sent them to the southwest corner gate, and hired a carriage to send them out of the city to the countryside on the outskirts of the city.

That family lived in a brick house and seemed to be a landlord, so I carefully inquired around the outskirts of the village.

It turned out that it was my aunt’s natal family. The old lady is her mother, the young couple is her brother and sister-in-law, and the little girl is her sister. Bai Shuang said.

Feng Ma and others listened.

"My concubine is pregnant again during the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is nothing wrong with sending someone to pick her family up to see her. Right, Miss?" Banxia said.

Mrs. Cheng and Ma Feng were a bit old and felt vaguely uneasy, but they didn't know what was wrong.

Yan Xin nodded: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with it."

Feng's mother said: "The eldest wife definitely wants to deal with the aunt, let's stay away and don't get involved."

He added, "We should be careful when we go out."

As for the aunt, she is not a Yanxin person, so there is no need to meddle in her own business. It depends on her fate.

Everyone has their own destiny.

Yan Xin shook her head and smiled bitterly: "How can the eldest lady let me go with such a good opportunity? Once she wants to deal with the aunt, we will not be able to protect ourselves."

Several servants thought of Sang Zhi not long ago.

At that time, the eldest lady would harm others if she made anything out of nothing, let alone now that she has made a big enemy?

The third young master eloped with Sang Zhi, and even stole the money of Mrs. Xi. The eldest wife lost all her dignity, and she hated her face.

"Then what should we do?" Banxia was worried, "Miss, let's go back to Yan Mansion to stay for a while? You can go back to your parents' house."

Yan Xin: "Children's words. Don't be afraid of trouble. Pinellia ternata, there is nothing to worry about. When the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth."

She asked the servants to be mentally prepared.

Yan Xin sent Feng's mother's son, daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law away from Yicheng under the pretext of purchasing some land.

These servants have nothing to worry about, they just need to be careful in their behavior.

"Now that we have manpower, we don't have to keep an eye on it like before." Yan Xin said, "Bai Shuang, send two people to my concubine's natal village to keep an eye on it.

Send two more people to pay attention to the movements of the concubine. It's okay if she doesn't go out. Once she goes out, she must be guarded and observed everywhere she goes. "

Bai Shuang said yes.

Yan Xin makes long-term plans.

In the evening, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner at Jiang Mansion. Yan Xin changed her clothes and went to Shanjin Pavilion for dinner.

This time it was not just the people from the eldest house, but also the second master, the seventh master and others, and it was packed with about seventy people.

The Jiang family is prosperous.

Yan Xin knows them all. She has a good memory and has an impression on most people she meets once.

The second aunt, the seventh aunt, and several cousins ​​​​all came up to say hello and were very enthusiastic about Yan Xin.

Mai Qiu, the elder's concubine, also came.

The aunt smiled gently. Although morning sickness made her lose her appetite, she was in good spirits.

From this point of view, the eldest wife's plan has not officially started yet, it is just laying the groundwork.

My aunt is ignorant.

Yan Xin smiled and planned to sit at the table next to Jiang Siqiao.

Unexpectedly, the old lady called her: "Xiao Xi's daughter-in-law, come here."

She asked someone to add a chair, and Yan Xin sat next to her, sitting at the same table with the elders.

Everyone was stunned.

The old lady was so blatantly partial to Yan Xin. In addition to liking her very much, she also deliberately made the eldest lady angry and disgusted.

Everyone in Jiang Mansion is gray, no one is pure white.

Even if the old lady treats Yan Xin well, she won't plan everything for Yan Xin.

She has her own selfish motives. While she praises Yan Xin, she also wants to use Yan Xin to suppress her eldest daughter-in-law.

Only my own grandmother would tolerate everything and consider Yan Xin's difficulties.

"If I keep a low profile, will the eldest lady let me go?"

Yan Xin thought so and sat next to the old lady with a smile, accepting her unusual status with great peace of mind.

The uncles and aunts in the second and seventh rooms had different expressions. The eldest man was also a little dissatisfied, but he did not dare to offend the old lady.

The eldest lady's face was so angry.

What's even more disturbing is that the old lady also deliberately asked the eldest lady a question.
