Jiang Zhinian looked at the angry Lian Qiao and said, "Don't be angry. If someone wants everyone to talk about something, then everyone will talk about it."
"Rumors can be so deceptive, and we can also take advantage of them."
Lian Qiao said, "Madam, I will find someone to clarify the rumors right away. If that doesn't work, we can find storytellers to clarify the rumors in various restaurants and teahouses."
She couldn't wait to take action.
Jiang Zhinian said calmly: "Don't worry, it's not the right time yet."
She needs to let public opinion reach a peak first. The more people pay attention to it, the better the effect of the counterattack will be.
Jiang Zhinian said: "She is just a helper, she is not the mastermind behind the scenes."
"Even if the mastermind behind this doesn't use her to spread rumors, he will use someone else."
"If she can be used by us, she can naturally provide great value."
"And if she really spread the rumor, it would be faster to use her to counter the rumor."
Jiang Zhinian was also very patient in teaching Lian Qiao.
She knew Lian Qiao was smart, so she gave her some pointers and advice, which would help her think about things more clearly.
……
Wanxiang Tower
When Yinzhu comes back, he will hurry to report to Su Wanruo.
"Miss, everything has been arranged."
"The hairpin was pawned for a total of eighty-six taels of silver at the pawnshop, but this time I only spent fifty taels, so this is thirty-six taels."
The remaining thirty-six taels of silver and the silver beads must naturally be handed over.
Su Wanruo said softly, "Don't be in a hurry to return it. Leave the money with you first. I'll ask you to do something next and you'll need this money."
Yinzhu was a little confused.
The young lady doesn't have much money in her hands on a normal day, so why should she be allowed to hold it?
And why did she instinctively feel uneasy when she held this money?
Silver Hairpin said, "Miss said to put it with you first, so I'll put it with you first, and then I'll let you do something and take it out for use later."
"But I remind you, don't mess with the lady's money."
Yinzhu shook his head and said, "No, no, I will definitely not touch this silver."
She took the silver and thought that her mother was sick and needed medicine, but it would take a lot of silver.
Her mother was reluctant to spend money and only wanted to save money to redeem her.
But the lady wouldn't let her go.
Yinzhu hesitated and wanted to say something.
Before she could speak, Su Wanruo, who was living under someone else's roof, was used to observing people's words and expressions, and could not tell what Yinzhu was thinking. She pretended not to know and interrupted her before she opened her mouth, saying, "Yinzhu, I'm a little tired, you can leave!"
Yinzhu had to swallow the words he just opened his mouth.
Su Wanruo seemed to have thought of something and said, "Later, call Yinju over. She will work with you by my side in the future."
"Miss, then...are you really planning to release the silver beads?"
Su Wanruo said, "We should not underestimate this lady. We should be prepared for her to suspect us of what we did this time."
"Well, what should we do then? Will Madam make things difficult for Miss and not allow her to be a concubine?"
Yinzhu is most worried about this.
Su Wanruo smiled complacently, "The more she disapproves, the more dissatisfied my cousin will be with her."
"My cousin will definitely lift me up."
"Besides, my aunt is here."
"In the past, everyone in the mansion and outside praised Madam, but people just follow the crowd. If the rumors continue, Madam's reputation will gradually be ruined."
As she spoke, a look of jealousy flashed across Su Wanruo's eyes.
When she met the lady in the mansion that day, the way she looked at her and the words she said were very wrong.
She came back and thought about it again and again, and then realized that she might have been exposed at some point and the lady was suspicious of her.
So she couldn't keep pretending and waiting any longer.
She wanted to find a way to get rid of the Madam. Her aunt happened to be pretending to be sick that morning, so she added fuel to the fire and started by ruining the Madam's reputation.
Su Wanruo was thinking, with a calculating look in her eyes.
"Looking at the weather, the Madam should be back soon."
"Let's go, let's go to the study to find the Marquis!"
Then, she got up, changed into plain clothes, took the shoes she had knitted herself, and went to the study to find Marquis Murong Chuan.
When the guards outside the study saw that it was the cousin, they naturally knew the position of the cousin in the marquis's heart and dared not stop her.
"cousin!"
A soft voice sounded. Murong Chuan was reading a book and was feeling restless and irritable. But when he heard his cousin's voice, he instantly felt much better.
Murong Chuan looked at Su Wanruo in surprise and asked, "Cousin, why are you here?"
The study is usually an important place, and Su Wanruo never came here before, always saying that it would be bad if someone saw it and caused misunderstanding.
This was also her first time coming here after he decided to take her as his concubine.
Su Wanruo looked at the surprise in her cousin's eyes, revealed a shy and coquettish look, and lowered her head and said, "Wanruo came to see my cousin. These are the shoes I made for my cousin. I wanted to give them to him."
"I'll go to your yard, just give it to me."
Su Wanruo lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief, "Cousin, are you blaming me for coming to the study?"
"I just, just want to see my cousin!"
Murong Chuan stepped forward and took Su Wanruo's hand, pulling her into his arms and sitting down. "No, of course I'm happy that you're here."
"It's just that Wanxiang Courtyard is so far away from the study, and you're not in good health. I'm worried that you'll get tired."
"If you miss me, I'll go see you."
Su Wanruo looked touched, "Cousin, you are so nice to me."
Murong Chuan felt extremely satisfied when he saw how his cousin simply relied on him.
Su Wanruo looked at Murong Chuan looking at her, and pretended to be uneasy and tugged at her clothes, "Cousin, is this outfit of mine not good?"
"No."
Murong Chuan hadn't noticed anything at first, but now he discovered that the fabric of Su Wanruo's clothes was very rough.
"Didn't your family ask Jinxiufang to make this dress for you?"
Su Wanruo whispered, "Jinxiufang is Madam's property. Without Madam's permission, the stewards in the mansion dare not make the decision. I am afraid of causing trouble to my cousin, so I am fine with this."
"I'm just afraid of losing face for my cousin when I go out."
"I saw Madam yesterday. I saw how beautiful she was dressed."
Su Wanruo showed an envious look.
She looks delicate and gentle, and she looks so pitiful.
Little did he know that these words quietly aroused Murong Chuan's anger.
"This is the Marquis' Mansion. You belong to me. It's not her turn to decide what you wear."
"Besides, if it weren't for the protection of my Marquis' Mansion, how could she be so arrogant!"
Murong Chuan felt annoyed when he thought of Jiang Zhinian's tough look. His cousin was still the best. She was gentle and kind, and always thought of him.
"Don't worry, I'll have someone from Jinxiufang come and take your measurements and make clothes for you, using the best fabrics."
"Cousin, you are so kind."
As she spoke, Su Wanruo took the initiative to hug Murong Chuan's neck.
At this moment, the servant Zhu Ping came over to report: "My Lord, the Madam is back!"
When Murong Chuan heard that Jiang Zhinian had returned, he became furious.
He slapped the table, "She still has the nerve to come back."
Su Wanruo naturally came out of Murong Chuan's arms, stood up, straightened her clothes, and said, "Cousin, since the lady is back, I will go back first."
"You don't have to!"
Su Wanruo looked at Murong Chuan with pleading eyes and said, "Cousin, I don't want to cause you any trouble. I'd better stay away from Madam."
Having said that, Su Wanruo left in a hurry.
Seeing that Su Wanruo looked afraid of Jiang Zhinian, Murong Chuan became even angrier.
Why, why does Jiang Zhinian want to control the entire Marquis' Mansion.
He is the Marquis of the Marquisate, and he should have the final say in everything.
If his mother hadn't said that she was still useful, how could he tolerate her like this.
"Come on, follow me to Haitang Courtyard."
"I want to see how long she can be tough."
……
But when Jiang Zhinian and Lian Qiao were about to return home in a carriage, they happened to pass by the West House.
That is where the concubines' branches of the Murong family lived, right next to the Marquis's mansion.
Jiang Zhinian accidentally heard a slight noise.
"Mammy, please stop hitting me. I won't dare to do it again."
"Miss, this old servant is doing this for your own good. I am here to teach you the rules. You are just a concubine's daughter, so don't go out of the yard and bother the master!"
"Clap clap..."
"Mammy, I won't dare to do that again."
"Miss, will you fly kites again in the future?"
"No... I won't let go... Mammy, please stop beating me. I beg you to stop beating me. I will be obedient in the future..."
A small crying voice sounded, like a kitten.
Hearing this voice, Jiang Zhinian's heart was gripped.
