But the warmth didn't last for a while. Shen Wan hadn't finished one candied haws, so Shen Du asked, "Did you ask Prince Ling's people to scare Ziyu?"

Shen Wan's heart was slightly shaken, "Brother, how did you know...?"

Shen Du raised his hand and knocked on Shen Wan's forehead, "My father is also a great general. Without his permission, how could Prince Ling's people have been able to enter your courtyard and stay for so long?"

Xie Jingyan's people were able to come in because they told the truth about King Jin's bullying of Shen Wan, so Shen Jing allowed Xie Jingyan's people to enter Qinglan Garden to protect Shen Wan.

When Shen Du came to find Shen Wan, he happened to meet Ziyu who was beaten and carried to the front yard for sale. Shen Du asked Ziyu a few questions, and Ziyu took the opportunity to complain to Shen Du.

The man in black in Qinglan Garden must be from King Ling, but King Ling's people should not be so bold as to scare Ziyu. It must be Shen Wan's instruction.

Shen Du wanted to know why Shen Wan did this. In the eyes of his eldest brother, his sister had always been sold for money...

Her eldest brother already knew it, so Shen Wan didn't hide it from him, but before she said it, she said, "I can tell eldest brother, but eldest brother promises not to tell father."

Shen Du said, "Okay, I won't tell father."

As long as his elder brother knows, there is no need to tell his father.

Shen Wan said, "Second aunt asked Ziyu to give me some cartilage powder, and then invited a Taoist priest into the house, saying that King Ling had conquered his wife, and wanted me to break off the engagement with King Ling and marry King Jin. I saw through their plan, and I gave him some cartilage powder." Changed to flour, these days, I have been pretending to be sick, Ziyu also wanted to frame Yinshuang, so I designed to drive her out of the house."

Shen Du's face darkened, and Shen Wan said, "The second uncle and the third uncle seem to respect my father, and only his father follows his lead, but in fact they are submissive to my father. I'm afraid they will be harmful to my father. And eldest brother, you must be careful too."

Shen Du nodded and asked curiously, "How did my sister find out?"

How did she find out? Shen Wan couldn't tell the truth, so she could only vaguely say, "That's how I found out. Your sister and I are not stupid. In short, we must not have the intention to harm others, nor must we have the intention to guard against others."

It seems that my sister has really grown up and started to give advice to his elder brother. My sister seems to have grown up overnight. Could it be because of King Ling? Sure enough, he was right to choose King Ling.

Shen Du just came to see Shen Wan. After making sure that Shen Wan was okay, he was about to leave. After taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned around to tell Shen Wan, "It's half a month until King Ling's birthday. Last year it was The gift I prepared for you cannot be asked to be done by my eldest brother this year, so don’t forget it.”

After giving the instructions, Shen Du left.

Watching her eldest brother leave, Shen Wan was confused. Why was he helping her give King Ling a birthday gift?

However, they generously lent her their position as princess, and she must express her gratitude to him for his birthday.

But what should I give him?

Shen Wan walked back to the house holding the candied haws.

Although Prince Ling is no longer favored, he has been favored by the emperor for twelve years after all. He is not short of money, and there should be no shortage of things that money can buy. Giving him a belt or purse or something seems too intimate. After a while, their relationship was not that good. Shen Wan thought about it for a long time and didn't think of what to give. Anyway, there was still half a month. It wouldn't be too late to decide what to give when she saw him one day and asked him.

Shen Wan sat on the small couch and read a book. The maid Haitang came into the room carrying cakes, with uncontrollable joy on her face.

She went out to buy the girl's favorite chestnut cake, but the second-class maid went out. When she came back, she was told that she had been promoted to a first-class maid. It was like a dream. How come it was her turn to have such a good thing? Woolen cloth.

Haitang knelt down to thank Shen Wan and expressed her loyalty, "Thank you, Miss, for trusting me. I will do my best to serve you in the future."

"Get up."

The reason why Shen Wan chose Haitang was very simple. Haitang's mother was the dowry maid brought into the house by Shen Wan's mother Yun's family. She had kept her in the yard since she was a child. If her mother were still alive, Haitang would definitely be her eldest maid.

In her previous life, Haitang did not follow her to the Prince of Jin's Mansion. She was attracted by the son of the second manager of the Hou Mansion. When the second manager came to her, Shen Wan married Haitang to the son of the second manager. As for whether she lived a happy life, Shen Wan She didn't know that Haitang didn't pay much attention when she was in front of her in Qinglanyuan, let alone that she was married.

Let's promote him to be the eldest maid first. If Haitang still likes the son of the second manager in this life, she will still fulfill her wish.

The next day was another sunny day.

After breakfast, Shen Wan went to the garden for a while. The maid sent from the front yard came to report to her that Ren Yazi had brought the maid into the house, so Shen Wan took Yinshuang to the front yard.

She specifically asked Yazi to bring more people, and this time they brought a lot of people, a total of thirty.

Seeing Shen Wan, Ren Yazi said with a smile on his face, "Miss Shen, let's see if any of these girls are suitable for you. I have screened them all before bringing them here. They need to be decent-looking and diligent. , there are also some who know a few words, and there are all kinds of maids you want."

Shen Wan looked over one by one. Some were timid and saw her lowering her head, while others secretly looked at her with envy on their faces.

Shen Wan looked around, briefly asked the maids a few questions, and then selected two who were diligent, two who could read and write, and two who were handsome.

When a lady gets married, no matter whether she needs them or not, she usually prepares two maidservants to take care of her husband when she is inconvenient. Although Shen Wan feels that she does not need to prepare, but if she does not prepare, she will just give it to the second wife and her husband. The old lady had the opportunity to crowd people around her.

Yinshuang paid the money and got the deeds of sale for the six of them. The mother in charge of the maids was about to take the maids down to teach them the rules. Shen Wan refused, "I will teach these maids the rules myself."

The mother in charge was embarrassed, "This is against the rules..."

Shen Wan knew that the mother in charge belonged to the second wife. After taking charge of the palace, the second wife replaced all the people arranged by her mother with her own people.

Let the second wife's people teach her maids the rules. After the teaching is completed, it is not certain whether these maids will recognize her as their master.

Shen Wan's cold eyes swept over the face of the mother in charge and said, "Are you teaching me the rules?"

The steward’s mother shivered and said hurriedly, “I don’t dare, this slave.”

"If you don't dare, just get out of the way," Shen Wan said bluntly.

The mother in charge didn't dare, but she stood still. Shen Wan walked towards her. The mother in charge took a step back. Just when she was about to take a second step, Shen Ying's voice came, "Mother Cheng is just following the rules. Why should eldest sister embarrass her?"

"If everyone is as willful and unruly as big sister, wouldn't this house be in chaos?"
