There were many porridge stalls set up by noble families, so many that a whole row of them were filled with porridge stalls.

But they saw Miss Jiang in the crowd at a glance.

In the cold wind, Miss Jiang had a beautiful face, skin as white as snow, beautiful eyes, and a plain dress that was elegant and refined. Her words and actions were dignified and elegant, but she seemed to be still sick, and her whole body gave off a feeling of fragility.

The wind blew, lifting her plain dress, which moved with the wind, making her feel as if she was about to ascend to heaven.

Yun Lei felt emotional in his heart. No wonder they were so cold and aloof, as if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who seemed to be indifferent to worldly affairs and uninterested in women, was quite special to Miss Jiang.

As subordinates, they had never seen any woman catch the eye of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Not to mention being treated with care by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But this Miss Jiang is the Marquis' wife. No matter what, she is just the Marquis' wife.

Perhaps their prince was only taking care of her for the sake of the Huo family.

Yan Jiyou stood quietly on the top of the city wall, with picturesque features, fluttering clothes, and a slender figure, like an orchid and a jade tree, with outstanding grace and elegance.

He looked down, and his calm eyes moved slightly.

There seemed to be flowing light in those gorgeous and cold eyes, like plum blossoms blooming in the snow, enchanting and charming.

As if thinking of something, Yan Ji sighed softly and whispered, "Arrange more people to watch over this place, don't let anyone bump into her!"

Yun Lei's expression changed, and he naturally understood who she was.

Isn’t it Miss Jiang?

He understands!

"Master, don't worry!"

He would never let anything happen to Miss Jiang.

Yun Lei was very happy to see that the Crown Prince's health was gradually getting better.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in much better health now and can do many things.

In the past, there was no way I could come here to take a look.

If the wind blows, you will become seriously ill.

Moreover, this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took action and severely dampened the arrogance of Lord Zhao.

Now Lord Zhao had to claim illness and not attend court to avoid the turmoil.

Even the emperor had opinions about Lord Zhao and began to support others to fight against Lord Zhao and balance the court.

Lord Zhao should stop thinking about controlling the officials in the court.

The cousin of Lord Zhao was sent to the capital for interrogation just to get more information. This man would definitely be beheaded.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't take action, it's fine. But when he does, he will strike his opponent with precision.

But this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took action, and Lord Zhao must have known about it.

I guess some people will realize that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is getting better.

I don’t know if this will bring danger to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again.

But they will protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince well.

I really hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can have someone he truly cares about, then His Royal Highness will want to live a good life.

……

In this way, Jiang Zhinian spent the entire first and second days at the porridge shed distributing porridge.

The nobles and their families in the nearby porridge stalls also saw it.

At first, I thought Jiang Zhinian was distributing porridge on behalf of the Yongping Marquis Mansion.

No one paid much attention.

But later I found out that the plaque was from Jiang Zhinian himself who was distributing porridge.

Everyone also discussed it privately.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Needless to say, given the situation at Yongping Marquis' Mansion, how can they support distributing porridge and rice for so many days? Jiang Zhinian's help is definitely needed."

"Everyone has heard the rumors before. Jiang Zhinian was taken back to the Earl's Mansion because he was sick because Yongping Hou and his men were too bullying."

"That's because Jiang Zhinian is jealous. Women should stay at home. It's embarrassing to show up in public..."

"That's right. No matter how poor the Yongping Marquis' Mansion is, it had no reputation before. It was ruined by Jiang Zhinian's mess. This woman is so scheming..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Marquis of Yongping favored his concubine over his wife and almost killed Jiang Zhinian. It was the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion who took her back to recuperate. The Marquis's Mansion also occupied Jiang Zhinian's dowry, and all the expenses were from Jiang Zhinian's dowry. Isn't this too much?"

"That's right. Didn't you see that Miss Jiang is now sick and is distributing porridge? It's been two days and Murong Chuan hasn't shown up. This shows what the situation in the Marquis' Mansion is like!"

Everyone was talking and discussing these things behind the scenes.

Jiang Zhinian doesn't care about these.

She stood tall and was unaffected by the gossip.

How could she be affected by rumors when she could live to take revenge and do what she wanted?

Not painful or itchy.

Especially if women do things in public, they will definitely be criticized.

She had already been prepared.

Not only that, she still has a lot to do in the future.

I can't stand even these rumors.

No matter how much we control speech, there will always be people who say inappropriate things.

She still remembered some of the things her grandmother said.

“Others don’t look at what you went through, they only look at the results.”

"It's like a war. If you win, you're a hero. If you lose, everyone will be angry and attack you, and they won't pay attention to the process in between."

"So only by winning continuously can we silence the gossips."

After rebirth, her heart has become strong enough.

Jiang Zhinian still smiled as he gave porridge to everyone and cooked medicinal soup with herbs.

This is the medicine she prepared herself, which is very effective for colds, headaches and fevers.

It was also from the very beginning that the managers were asked to collect medicinal materials from various places.

So she has a lot of medicinal herbs and is not afraid of a large number of refugees.

Even the rice porridge in the pot was more abundant and thicker, rather than having more water than less rice.

On the first day, no one thought much of the people lining up, but on the second day, many refugees spread the word, and people started lining up here to get porridge.

Some people who don't understand the situation or are really hungry will go to other porridge stalls to queue up for porridge.

Lian Qiao whispered, "Madam, there are too many people queuing up for porridge. Can this continue?"

I’m afraid Forsythia won’t last for more than a few days.

Jiang Zhinian was confident and calm, "Don't worry, we have enough food."

There is a lot of food stored, and it is stored in various places.

She is well aware of the fact that all eggs should not be put in one basket.

She was not afraid of the large number of refugees queuing up.

This is a good time to build a reputation.

And she will need more people in the future.

It is easier to accomplish many things when the people are in favor.

The managers reported things directly to Jiang Zhinian, and there were some things that Lian Qiao was not clear about.

Furthermore, Jiang Zhinian knew that in a few days, the imperial court would distribute disaster relief grain, and officials would resettle the refugees step by step, so there would be no need to distribute porridge.

So it’s okay to work hard for a few days.

"It's just that Madam has worked so hard to distribute porridge and is still seriously ill, yet those people are still making up stories about Madam."

"Madam can also let everyone know that the Marquis forced Madam, and we can also spread rumors."

"And the Marquis forced you to register that Murong Yanran under your name. I don't know where Murong Yanran came from. She is not respectful to you, the Madam, at all."

Lian Qiao feels sorry for his wife.

Seeing my wife distributing porridge from morning to night for two days in a row without getting a good rest or eating properly, I was extremely anxious.

Even though she knew that her wife had taken medicine to pretend to be sick and was actually fine, she was still afraid that her wife would get sick from exhaustion.

A strange cold light flashed across Jiang Zhinian's eyes, and he smiled gently, "Don't worry."

In fact, she could expose the identity of Murong Yanran as her illegitimate daughter.

But there is no evidence, and Murong Chuan can simply deny it.

Moreover, in the eyes of noble families, having an illegitimate daughter or even taking a concubine is not a big deal and will not cause any trouble.

On the contrary, because this incident was exposed, Murong Chuan might naturally give Murong Yanran an identity.

On the contrary, Murong Yanran would feel that she was the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, and she no longer had to please her or be so cautious when doing things.

That would be too easy for Murong Yanran and would not be conducive to her revenge.

On the contrary, stewing it with a soft knife like this will make it more lethal.

To deal with the Marquis's Mansion, you must strike a fatal blow.

If you don’t take action, then don’t take action. But if you do take action, it must be effective.

"If these things are made public, it won't hurt the Marquis' Mansion. Everyone will forget about it in a few days. It won't have much of an impact."

Start with what everyone cares about most.

……

Hou Mansion

Sure enough, after Murong Chuan learned the news, he was so angry that he crushed a cup on the spot.

"What a Jiang Zhinian! Where does she put the reputation of our mansion? She is openly stepping on my face!"
