Jiang Zhinian recognized the voice at once, Murong Zhi's voice.

She was born into a third family out of wedlock.

After Mr. Murong passed away, the old lady drove the other concubines' children out of the mansion and made them live in the west house next door.

They were driven out of the marquis's residence yet kept so close to each other that it was easier to control and monitor them.

The old lady was cruel and had never arranged for the third master of the third house to get married.

The third master was served by only one maidservant.

So Murong Yuening was also the daughter of this Third Master and his maidservant.

The third master died in battle while fighting at the border.

Not long after, the maid also died.

Only this one daughter was left.

Murong Zhi, who was left behind, was always looked after by the maid in the mansion, but in fact, she was constantly bullied.

The reason why she knew Murong Zhi in her previous life was that she was sick with a fever and was dying.

She found out by chance and asked the imperial physician to save her life.

But he found that the little girl was thin and small, with bruises all over her body.

She dealt with the stubborn slave and assigned a maid to serve her.

According to the monthly salary from the mansion, someone was asked to take good care of her and show some concern for her occasionally.

When she was still the lady of the Marquis's Mansion, the little girl's situation was not bad.

But after she lost power and was imprisoned, the little girl was hungry and full.

And often bullied.

Later I found out that Murong Yanran also had a hand in this.

Murong Yanran is as selfish and domineering as her father.

Even if she only cared about Murong Zhi occasionally, she would hold a grudge against her.

Even though Murong Zhi was in a difficult situation, he still secretly sent her food and medicine in order to repay her.

Later, he wanted to rescue her, but unfortunately, Murong Chuan and Su Wanruo found her and killed her.

Jiang Zhinian lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw a kite hanging on the tree.

Some old kites look clumsily made at first glance, but they are indeed kites.

When Jiang Zhinian saw the kite, he couldn't help but think of Murong Zhi.

"parking!"

Zheng Daniu stopped the carriage.

Lian Qiao asked, "Madam, what happened?"

Jiang Zhinian got off the carriage directly, and Lian Qiao and Zheng Daniu followed in confusion.

Jiang Zhinian said: "Let someone open the door!"

This is a back door location.

Lian Qiao knocked on the door quickly.

When the doorman opened the door and saw Lian Qiao, he was shocked because she was the lady's first-class maid.

But when he saw the lady, the doorman was startled and hurriedly bowed, "Your servant greets the lady!"

"Open the door!"

"Yes Yes!"

Even though this is just the west courtyard, the entire courtyard belongs to the marquis's mansion.

The servants didn't dare to stop him.

Not to mention that they were just poor servants of the third room.

A single word from the lady could determine their life or death.

After Jiang Zhinian entered, he went straight towards the voice.

As soon as I stepped into the remote and dilapidated courtyard, I saw a nanny beating a little girl's arm with a willow branch.

The little girl looked to be only four or five years old, thin and small. She stretched out her little hands, tears in her eyes from the pain, and kept begging for mercy.

"Mammy, please stop hitting me. I won't dare to do it again. I'll be obedient, I'll be obedient..."

Jiang Zhinian felt the hot blood in his body rushing up.

"stop!"

Jiang Zhinian walked over and slapped the nanny hard on the face.

With a slap in the face, the nanny was stunned and fell to the ground.

Jiang Zhinian felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw the little girl's bruised arms and her tears that she dared not let fall.

After being reborn, her heart had become cold and hard.

But when facing the little girl who would rather die than not protect her in the previous life, her heart couldn't help but soften.

Fortunately, she was reborn and the people who cared about her were still alive.

Jiang Zhinian looked at the little girl's timid and frightened look and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm your aunt."

"From now on, with me here, no one can beat or bully you!"

As Jiang Zhinian spoke, he took out a towel and carefully wiped the little girl's tears.

Pull her into the house and apply medicine on her.

Fortunately, she had some excellent medicine with her.

She carefully treated the little girl's wounds.

She took the little girl's pulse again, and this time her face changed even more.

Murongzhi is now severely malnourished and her body is still very weak...

Fortunately, it was discovered in time and he will be fine with proper treatment.

The little girl blinked her clear eyes and looked at Jiang Zhinian cautiously and trustingly.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Jiang Zhinian sighed and touched her hair.

In this life, we finally got to know each other earlier.

Lian Qiao was dealing with the nanny.

The maid knelt down and begged for mercy, "Please forgive me, Madam. It's all my fault that I was bewitched. Please have mercy on me, Madam. I won't dare to do it again."

"According to the rules of the mansion, if someone disobeys his superior, he will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane and sold out!"

Now that he is reborn, Jiang Zhinian is no longer a soft-hearted person.

As the wife of a marquis, she was in charge of the household expenses and also managed the concubines' wives, so it was a simple matter for her to deal with a servant.

The reason for the rule is just to give a warning to everyone that a servant should not think of disobeying the rules.

It is also to tell everyone that Murong Zhi is not unattended, she still has someone to protect her.

The maid screamed and was soon gagged and dragged away to be beaten with a stick.

Jiang Zhinian asked Zheng Daniu to get some snacks from the carriage and give them to Murong Zhi.

"Eat it, this is given to you by your aunt."

Murong Zhi looked at Jiang Zhinian timidly, "Auntie, can I really eat it?"

She didn't have enough to eat at every meal. She was really hungry, but she couldn't just take anything to eat.

"Well, eat it. If it's not enough, there's more."

Murong Zhi ate carefully and happily. She hadn't had snacks for a long time.

Jiang Zhinian said lovingly, "I will never let you go hungry in the future."

"Auntie will arrange two maids to serve you first."

"After some things are resolved, I will find a way to bring you to my side to teach you."

There has been some commotion in the marquis' residence these days, so it is not convenient to bring Murong Zhi with me for the time being.

And we must find a reason that will convince the old lady and the marquis.

Of course she wouldn't record anyone else's name.

Murong Zhi was very smart and naturally knew what this meant.

Murong Zhi hurriedly knelt down.

"Hurry up and get up. You don't have to kneel, auntie."

"Zhizhi wants to thank my aunt!"

Jiang Zhinian stayed with Murong Zhi for a while, talked to her a few words, and then asked Lian Qiao to arrange two trustworthy maids to take care of Murong Zhi's daily life.

Then, the two of them prepared to return home.

The Marquis' Mansion is right next to the West Mansion, and it's only a few steps away.

On the way, Lian Qiao asked in confusion, "Madam, do you really want to bring Miss Zhizhi to your side to take care of her?"

"Then the Marquis may use this opportunity to ask Madam to help take care of Miss Yanran."

Lian Qiao was not sparing towards Miss Yanran, fearing that she would get close to Madam.

Jiang Zhinian thought of Murong Yanran, and said with a look as sharp as a knife: "Don't worry, Murong Yanran is nothing to be afraid of."

In her previous life, because she trusted Murong Yanran to protect her and gave her all the people and money in her hands, Murong Yanran was able to do many things.

Without her paving the way for her in this life, Murong Yanran would be unable to do anything.

Seeing that the lady knew what was going on, Lian Qiao didn't ask any more questions.

After they entered the mansion, they heard the servants discussing something.

"The old lady is sick, and the lady is out, and she comes back so late!"

"It seems that Madam was just pretending before."

"This guy can pretend for a short time, but over time, his true nature will definitely be exposed."

"You are so unfilial and don't take the old lady's health seriously. It shows that your heart is cold and hard and you are cruel."

"I don't know why the Marquis married a lady."

"It's because Madam insisted on marrying here with her dowry, otherwise it wouldn't be her turn."

"The Marquis only gave Miss Cousin a place to stay, but the lady got so angry. Who can stand such a person? Even if the Marquis has a good temper, he can't help it. Will he divorce the lady?"

"Don't the Bo Mansion and the Huo Family attach the most importance to rules and reputation? Our Madam can't see that at all."

"That's right. He runs out every day and doesn't take the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion seriously at all..."

The servants in the mansion all looked dissatisfied with Jiang Zhinian, and they were all making up bad things about Jiang Zhinian behind his back.

In everyone's opinion, the lady had moral problems. She was disrespectful to her husband, unfilial to her elders, and jealous.

Lian Qiao listened and became furious.

But when she thought about what the lady had told her on the way, she knew that the lady had her own intentions.

But he still couldn't help but get angry and said, "It's a pity that Madam was so kind to them before."

The lady has a good temper and is kind to her servants. She never beats or punishes them.

However, things must be done according to the rules. If a mistake is made, it will naturally be dealt with according to the house rules of the Marquis' Mansion.

But the lady has been kind to them.

If anyone has any difficulties, please report to my lady and she will help.

Jiang Zhinian looked at Lian Qiao's angry expression, but he felt calm.

In her previous life, she was abandoned and trapped in the backyard, where these servants cursed her even more unscrupulously.

The insults were even more harsh at that time.

That's nothing.

"Most people in this mansion are servants of the Murong family. They think about things from the perspective of the Marquis' Mansion."

"This person, it's not like you're nice to them and they'll be grateful."

"Sometimes when you are too kind, others will think you are easy to bully."

If she used both kindness and force, and if these servants were afraid of her from the beginning, they might not dare to talk about her like this.

He acted as if he wasn't afraid that she would hear it.

Jiang Zhinian's mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc.

"Since we are the housekeeper in the future, we have to change the management method."

Do you really think she is kind-hearted and easy to bully?

Since she is said to be cruel, she will naturally show these people how cruel she is.

Not long after they entered the house, the maid outside the door reported, "Madam, the Marquis is here!"

Jiang Zhinian was not surprised at all, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc, "You came just in time!"
