Especially when seeing Jiang Zhinian's shoulders twitching and crying so hard, Murong Chuan couldn't scold her and say anything else.

"Okay, stop crying. I misunderstood you."

"It's my fault."

However, Murong Chuan still remembered how shabby his cousin's clothes were.

Since Jiang Zhinian cares about him so much, she probably won't chew out if he makes a request at this time.

"But I'm just giving my cousin a place to stay, so don't be so stingy."

"Also, since my cousin is going to be my concubine soon, her clothes represent my reputation, and her current clothes are too shabby."

"The embroiderer from Jinxiufang, have someone come to the mansion and make some nice clothes for my cousin."

"I heard that a batch of Shu brocade came in recently, let's go with Shu brocade!"

A cold light flashed across Jiang Zhinian's eyes.

What a good Murong Chuan! Before Su Wanruo was officially promoted, he was already trying to find ways to benefit her.

However, Jiang Zhinian thought about it and understood the trick.

She pretended to be angry and said loudly: "What did you say?"

"Okay, you're eyeing the things in my store. I'm still sick, but you don't care about me, but you're thinking about your cousin!"

"You also want to give the things in my shop to your cousin. I didn't even want to use those Shu brocades. They were things I was going to give to the nobles. How dare she covet them..."

Jiang Zhinian cried with tears in her eyes, "You are too much of a bully."

"I plan everything for the Marquis's Mansion, thinking about sending things to the palace for the nobles, but you are only thinking about your good cousin, ahem..."

"Since you miss your cousin so much, then go see her."

"Woooo..."

Having said that, Jiang Zhinian pushed Murong Chuan out of the room and closed the door.

Murong Chuan stared blankly at the closed door.

He just mentioned it, how did it turn out like this?

However, when he heard the whimpering sound in the house, Murong Chuan touched his nose and wondered if it was really too much.

But then he also felt that Jiang Zhinian’s things should be his, so isn’t it natural for him to give them to whomever he wants?

Without considering his feelings at all, he was kicked out.

He wanted to comfort her, but he thought she was being unreasonable.

Then he shook his sleeves and left.

Lian Qiao watched Murong Chuan leave through the crack in the door, and then said to Jiang Zhinian, "Madam, the Marquis is gone."

Jiang Zhinian then took off the towel, dipped it in green onions and ginger, and put it over his eyes, and tears naturally came to his eyes.

At this moment, she immediately returned to her original expression.

"kindness!"

Lian Qiao quickly fetched some water and brought it over so that Jiang Zhinian could wash her face.

"Madam, now everyone in the Marquis' Mansion will know that you and the Marquis are having a quarrel."

"And he drove the Marquis out."

Jiang Zhinian raised the corner of his mouth in an icy arc, narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, "Just taking advantage of the situation."

"Just wait and see, Su Wanruo will make another move!"

When she returned home, she heard the servants mention that her cousin had gone to the study.

How could it be such a coincidence!

What Su Wanruo wanted Murong Chuan to do could be heard from Murong Chuan's words.

The fact that he wanted Shu Jin was false, but the fact that he wanted her to have a quarrel and conflict with Murong Chuan was real.

"Madam, are you really going to give Shujin to Empress Zhen in the palace?"

"Although this Concubine Zhen looks a bit like the late queen, there are also concubines in the palace who look like the late queen. But the emperor favored her for a while, and then he favored a new one again. Concubine Zhen is in the limelight now, but it is only temporary."

Jiang Zhinian shook his head and said, "No, this Lady Zhen is different, so don't underestimate her."

She wanted to win this person over to the prince.

The former queen is already dead. Even if the emperor still misses her, he will still favor other concubines.

The harem is closely related to the court.

In particular, some concubines in the harem could guess the emperor's news faster than the court officials.

Now that the former queen has died, it will be disadvantageous to the crown prince if there is no concubine in the harem who is loyal to him.

Moreover, now that I have my own people in the harem, it will be easier to deal with the Fourth Prince and the Marquis' Mansion in the future.

Lian Qiao thought for a moment and said, "But Empress Zhen is very popular right now, and there are so many people sending her gifts. It's not easy to win her over, right?"

Jiang Zhinian said calmly: "Don't worry, I have a way!"

Thanks to her experiences in her previous life, she learned a lot of secret information.

"Of course, more haste makes waste. I'll send the gift first, at least to let Madam Zhen know who I am."

After Jiang Zhinian washed his face, he changed his clothes and tidied himself up before asking Lian Qiao to call Chunlan in.

"This slave has met Madam!"

When Chunlan heard that the lady was looking for her, she became nervous and worried.

Jiang Zhinian said: "Chunlan, I heard that you and Yinzhu are from the same hometown."

Chunlan said respectfully, "Yes, Madam, I and Yinzhu are both from Xinghua Village in Qingzhou."

Qingzhou is just north of Yanjing, not far away, and can be reached in three or four days by horse carriage.

Chunlan entered the mansion when she was five years old. She took the initiative to enter the mansion because her family was poor when she was young.

She knew Yinzhu when she was a child, but Yinzhu got lost when she was a child. It was when she returned home that she helped Yinzhu's family find Yinzhu.

But in the mansion, they each serve their own masters and cannot contact each other too much.

Jiang Zhinian said, "Well, there is something you need to do. If you do it well, maybe you can save your sister's life!"

Chunlan looked up at Jiang Zhinian in disbelief.

Lianqiao took Chunlan aside and gave her some detailed instructions.

Chunlan's face was pale when she came out, and she kowtowed in front of Jiang Zhinian. Although she didn't say anything, she understood everything in her heart.

Jiang Zhinian knew that Chunlan was loyal and righteous, and was also a smart person.

"Chunlan, now that this matter is settled, you can come and serve me from now on!"

Chunlan couldn't believe it.

She was a third-class maid in the mansion, doing some rough cleaning work and was not taken seriously at all.

Not to mention the monthly salary, she couldn't even imagine being promoted from a third-class maid to a first-class maid.

Not to mention the moon silver.

She knew that the lady was kind and generous to her subordinates, gave them a large monthly allowance, and provided them with good food, clothing and other necessities.

She also understood that it was best to follow the lady.

"Thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am."

Chunlan stepped back.

Soon, rumors in the mansion were spreading again.

They all said that the lady deliberately lost her temper with the Marquis and drove him out.

"I heard it was because of my cousin, and about taking a concubine."

"Madam, you are too jealous and intolerant."

"What should I do, cousin? It's so pitiful!"

Su Wanruo listened and laughed.

After dinner, Su Wanruo knelt at the gate of Haitang Courtyard.

Lian Qiao looked at Su Wanruo at the door and was surprised. "Madam, what you said is really right. Miss cousin really came and knelt there."

"She said that she caused the quarrel between the Madam and the Marquis, and it was her fault. She came to kneel before the Madam."

Lian Qiao said with a pah sound: "It was nothing at first, but now that she kneels down like this, others will think that it is Madam's fault."

"The reputation that Madam worked so hard to build has been ruined just like that."

Jiang Zhinian was fiddling with some medicinal herbs inside. "Just let her kneel down first. Don't worry about it for now."

Lian Qiao was so angry when she saw Su Wanruo's expression, "I really want to open the door and send her back."

"She won't go back." Su Wanruo is a very patient person. Since she is here, she will not leave until she achieves her goal.

Lian Qiao glared at Su Wanruo at the door and said, "I will pour the water I use to wash my feet tonight on her and see if she will leave."

Jiang Zhinian shook his head and said, "That would play right into her hands. She wants us to get angry and use her body to ruin our reputation."
