In fact, Xia'er has always been Jiafei's spy planted in the Jiang Mansion.

Ever since Old Madam Jiang assigned her to serve Qinghe personally, she has been secretly reporting Qinghe's every move to Concubine Jia.

However, after spending some time with Qinghe, Xiaer discovered that this young lady was a kind-hearted person and very easy to get along with. Therefore, she concealed many things when reporting to Concubine Jia. For example, when Jiang Yaonian left Beijing to go hunting in the enclosure, she did not tell Concubine Jia that Qinghe and Zhao Cheng stood by the lake for a night, nor did she tell anyone that Qinghe went to see Zhao Cheng on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But when Concubine Jia came to her with the ruby ​​hairpin, she still chose to betray Qinghe...

Because her younger sister worked in Yuhua Palace, her family had already arranged a marriage for her, and she could leave the palace and get married in two years.

That night, Concubine Jia found Xia'er and told her that as long as she completed this last task, her sister could leave the palace smoothly!

Moreover, her family will receive a large and generous reward as a dowry, and she will no longer have to continue to be a spy.

After all, by then everyone will be dead, so there will naturally be no need for Xia'er as a spy.

After hesitating for a while, Xia'er agreed to Concubine Jia's request.

She took the ruby ​​hairpin to Jiang Yaonian and told him about it, falsely accusing Qinghe of eloping with someone...

Although she had hesitated and struggled at the time, Qing He treated her well, but she framed her against her conscience, and she felt really bad...

But when she thought of her sister who was still in the palace waiting to get married, she had no choice but to sacrifice Qinghe's reputation and go to tell Jiang Yaonian!

But she later discovered that Jiang Yaonian often came to the villa alone in the middle of the night to miss Qinghe. The guilt and self-blame in her heart were difficult to describe in words, so she could only say silently in her heart: "Master, Madam, I'm sorry..."

She hated herself for betraying the young lady unjustly, and also hated herself for making the young master a lonely and pitiful person...

When Xia'er heard today that Qinghe had returned to the Jiang residence, she was shocked and frightened. She immediately ran to the upper room and found that the young lady had indeed returned!

At the same time, she found that Jin Ling'er had also gone to the upper room, hiding in the crowd and silently looking at Qing He who had returned...

When it was time for dinner, Madam Jiang set a large and sumptuous table. She kept smiling as she asked Xing'er to serve Qinghe the dishes. She said with a smile, "Qinghe, I remember Nian'er said that you liked grilled lamb chops and lotus root fish fillets the most. Come and try them. They taste different from before!"

Madam Jiang politely asked Yan Shixun to say, "Mr. Yan, you are Qinghe's cousin, so you are also a guest of our family. Don't be polite, just treat yourself like you are at home!"

Yan Shixun didn't know whether to laugh or cry...

He knew that the old lady was defending her sovereignty and deliberately emphasized that Qinghe was a member of the Jiang family, reminding him not to get the situation confused and not to do anything inappropriate with Qinghe again!

The old lady seemed to have noticed that he had a crush on Qinghe, and she kept criticizing him overtly and covertly!

Qinghe didn't pay attention to these things, and found that a pretty girl sitting diagonally opposite her was constantly looking at her secretly.

But when Qinghe smiled at her friendly, the girl quickly lowered her head again!

Qing He was a little surprised, so she turned around and asked curiously: "Madam, who is this girl..."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jiang's expression suddenly became awkward and unnatural. After hesitating for a while, she stammered, "This is Nian'er's cousin, you can just call her Ling'er..."

Qing He asked doubtfully, "Cousin?"

Madam Jiang tried to cover it up by saying, "Yes, she is a distant cousin! Ling'er, call her cousin-in-law!"

Jin Ling'er raised her head, looked at Qing He with a very strange expression, and called softly, "Cousin-in-law!"

Qing He quickly waved her hands and denied, "No, no, no, I'm not!"

Jin Ling'er turned her head to look at Old Madam Jiang beside her, her eyes filled with deep doubt and confusion.

Madam Jiang coughed lightly and explained, "Your cousin's wife is just teasing you! Wait until your cousin comes back and coax her."

After the old lady finished speaking, she asked Xing'er, "Have you told Nian'er? When will he be back?"

Xing'er replied: "Yes, Young Master Nian wrote back saying that he will be back tomorrow at the latest."

Madam Jiang nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Oh, that's good! I'm sure he will be so happy when he comes back!"

After hearing this, Jin Ling'er's face changed instantly and she lowered her head quietly!

Qing He was worried, thinking: This is the end! What if the old lady's grandson insisted that I was his wife? Should I really take the case to the government?

Seeing this old lady seeming fearless, her family must have close ties with the government. She isn't afraid of a lawsuit, right?

Yan Shixun quickly thought that if Qinghe refused to give in, would he have to cut his face with a knife to escape, just like last time in the palace?

After the meal, except for Madam Jiang who was calm and composed, everyone else was nervous!

Everyone is wondering what to do next...

Madam Jiang ordered, "Take Master Yan to the Rose Garden to rest. Qinghe will stay with me in the upper room!"

The three of them looked at Madam Jiang at the same time. Jin Linger looked at Qinghe with a smile and said, "Isn't my cousin going back to live in the villa?"

Qing He was startled after hearing this, frowned and asked back: "Why should I live in the other courtyard?"

Yan Shixun immediately understood that the missing Madam Jiang must have lived in the villa before!

Madam Jiang looked at Jin Ling'er and said coldly, "No one has lived in the villa for a long time! Let's have someone clean it up tomorrow and then let your cousin move in. Let her stay with me in the upper room today!"

Jin Ling'er quickly lowered her head and said, "Yes."

Qing He understood that the old lady was on guard against her running away in the middle of the night, so she arranged for her to stay in the upper room.

But Madam Jiang added casually, "Ling'er, when Nian'er comes back tomorrow, don't go to the study anymore..."

But even with such an ordinary sentence, Qing He saw shock, astonishment, anger and other different expressions flashing across Jin Ling Er's eyes, and then she glared at Qing He with great resentment...

Qinghe didn't know what was going on at the time.

But I immediately understood it the next day.

The next day.

Qing He, who had not slept well the previous night, asked for leave from Madam Jiang: "Madam, I want to go for a walk in the garden and skip breakfast."

Madam Jiang said immediately, "Then let the maid accompany you. The garden is a bit big, and it will be easier to walk around with someone. You can tell the maid what scenery you want to see."

Qinghe shook her head, "No need! I'll just walk around the area with Brother Shixun, not go far."

When Madam Jiang heard that she was going to take a walk with that pretty cousin, a hint of displeasure flashed across her eyes, and then she immediately smiled and said, "That's fine, go ahead! When you were in a bad mood before, you liked to stroll in the garden, and you haven't changed at all now!"

Qing He gave a bitter smile. Even for such a small matter, the old lady could immediately associate herself with her granddaughter-in-law. This was really... not missing any opportunity!
