Bing Sui said with a delighted look on her face: "Princess, Madam Jiang really went to catch the adulterer after receiving the news!"

Jingying smiled sweetly, "Did she make a scene on the spot?"

Bing Sui shook her head. "No, after taking a look, she went upstairs. When she came out, she didn't look very well."

Jingying smiled and said, "She went to confirm whether Liu Dongzhi came to see the old lady or to see Mr. Jiang! Don't worry! The fun is yet to come! Have someone send a handkerchief over and say that the guard found it from the study. Ask if it belongs to the young lady. Remember, it should be from Caidiexuan, and then sprinkle some clove dew on it to fumigate it."

Bing Sui asked, "Princess, any pattern will do?"

Jingying smiled and said, "No, I want pink and purple."

Bing Sui suddenly realized and said, "Miss Liu smells like lilac..."

Jingying praised: "Yes, if you want to act, you have to do it in full!"

……

At lunchtime, Qing He waited for Jiang Yaonian to tell her about Liu Dongzhi's visit in the morning...

But who would have thought that he didn't even mention it. He just said a few casual words and left.

Qinghe could only comfort herself by saying that maybe she was overthinking it and nothing special happened, so he didn't tell her.

Who would have thought that in the afternoon, Yun'er came in with a handkerchief in her hand and asked, "Madam, the maid said that the guard just brought it here, and wanted to know if you left it in the study?"

Qing He took it and looked at it in confusion. Suddenly, a strong sweet fragrance came to her nose. She thought it must not be hers. Just as she was about to say it was not hers, her mind suddenly moved and she suddenly remembered something. She hurriedly said to Yun Er: "Oh, maybe I forgot it there before."

When the maid went out and told the old woman who was waiting outside about this matter, and the old woman told Jingying, Jingying sneered and thought to herself, that little country girl wants to keep things quiet, but I won't let her do that!

She immediately sat down at the dressing table and dressed up carefully, preparing to give Qinghe a surprise in the evening!

Not only has the existing thorn in her heart been removed, but a new one has been added!

……

The entrance of the Duke Qing's mansion was filled with joy, with carriages and horses constantly coming and going, and servants busy coming in and out.

In the hall, all the guests congratulated the Duke's wife on her birthday: "Old Madam, may you be blessed as vast as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains!"

"Old lady, the pine and crane are evergreen, and they never grow old!"

"Princess Jingying of Prince Jing's Mansion has arrived!"

Following the host's shout, Jingying, who was dressed like a fairy from heaven, walked down from the carriage, attracting a lot of discussion from the crowd: "She is so beautiful! She is worthy of being the most beautiful woman in the capital!"

"That's right, even the maidservant next to her is so pretty, how can the princess be any worse?"

"Oh, I wonder who will be so lucky to marry such a beauty in the future!"

"You can try to get close to the Duke's daughter-in-law. You see, the princess seems to be very familiar with his daughter-in-law..."

The daughter-in-law of the Duke's Mansion welcomed Jingying in with a big smile on her face, and said with a smile as they walked in: "Oh, Jingying, you are really getting more and more beautiful!"

Jingying smiled sweetly and said softly, "Xueyuan, you are getting more and more beautiful! You should eat the fruit bird's nest porridge I recommended to you last time regularly, so that your skin will get better and better. In addition, I have the Qi-replenishing and Yuan-strengthening paste given by the Concubine Dowager. I will send some to you later. Eat a spoonful on an empty stomach every day. It is very nourishing..."

The two of them walked into the hall hand in hand, chatting and laughing. Jingying saw a group of dignitaries chatting with Jiang Yaonian. She took a look silently and then lowered her head.

Tan Xueyuan saw something was wrong at first glance, and approached Jingying and whispered, "I heard that you have been staying at the Jiang family recently to pray for the concubine, why don't you go over and say hello to Mr. Jiang!"

Jingying laughed at herself and said softly, "I'm afraid Mr. Jiang doesn't want to see me now..."

Upon hearing this, Tan Xueyuan immediately asked curiously, "Ah, why?"

Jingying raised her head and said slowly, "A few days ago, a fawn that Madam Jiang raised suddenly died inexplicably. I don't know who dumped the body in the garden where I live. So Madam Jiang insisted that I killed her fawn. She quarreled with me on the spot and wanted Master Jiang to kick me out of the Jiang Mansion! I'm afraid Master Jiang is feeling uncomfortable now... How dare I go up and ask for trouble?"

Tan Xueyuan said in astonishment, "This young lady is really unreasonable, isn't she? How could a weak and fragile girl like you do such a cruel and bloody thing? I'm afraid you have never killed any small animals in your life. It's incredible that she would wrongly accuse you like this!"

Jingying smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know, ever since the day I moved into the Jiang residence, she has been trying to find a way to drive me away, and she won't let go of any opportunity she can take advantage of!"

"Why? Did they know that you liked Mr. Jiang before?"

Jingying nodded and said helplessly, "She used to make a living by embroidery. After she suddenly became the young lady of a wealthy family, she couldn't help but feel anxious and worried. She strictly guarded against any woman who might get close to Mr. Jiang. She had already driven away a maid in the mansion. She often quarreled with Mr. Jiang for no reason and used various means to control him..."

Tan Xueyuan was shocked and asked, "Ah, does Mr. Jiang listen to her?"

Jingying smiled faintly, "What if she doesn't listen? With Madam Jiang backing her up, who dares to mess with her? Mr. Jiang has to report to her wherever he goes and who he meets now, otherwise if she acts like a spoiled child to Madam Jiang, Mr. Jiang will be scolded by his grandmother!"

"It turns out that this young lady is such a narrow-minded rural shrew. It's such a waste of Mr. Jiang! He should have married you at the beginning. I really don't understand what the Jiang family was thinking!" Tan Xueyuan looked indignant.

Jingying lowered her head and said in self-pity: "Alas, it's all my fault that I'm unlucky. I can neither be humble nor please the old man..."

Tan Xueyuan pulled her out and said as they walked, "Oh, don't be sad! Come on, I'll walk around the garden with you, and we'll sit at the same table when the feast starts."

……

Both the guests and the hosts had a great time at the banquet. When it was over, Jiang Yaonian came to the door and was about to get in the car when he suddenly saw Jingying standing on the side of the road in thin clothes, staring blankly, with the daughter-in-law of the Duke's Mansion standing next to her with an anxious look on her face.

When they saw him coming out, they both showed surprise on their faces, but Jingying immediately lowered her head...

Tan Xueyuan walked towards Jiang Yaonian, bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Jiang, can you let Jingying ride in your carriage?"
