Guan, the fourth wife, used to be a little shrewd and liked to scheme for personal gain, but ever since she almost let her daughter marry into a spy's family, she has become obedient.

She didn't dare to make any decisions now. She just had to ask her mother for advice on everything.

She now really admires her mother.

As expected, mothers are the most powerful. Jiang Zhinian actually has the opportunity to become the Crown Princess.

It can be seen that the mother taught her well.

Anyway, Guan understood that no matter whether Jiang Zhinian could become the Crown Princess or not, the Jiang family was highly valued by the Emperor.

Especially as long as his mother is around, the emperor will take better care of the Bo Mansion.

With the emperor attaching importance to their uncle's mansion and the lady-in-waiting's supervision, Hui Jie'er will marry into a good family.

As for the rumors outside, Guan was very panicked at first, but after thinking about it, she became much calmer.

In the past, Jiang Zhinian was slandered even more severely, but in the end, not only did those rumors disappear, Jiang Zhinian's reputation became better and better, and she was even named County Lord.

So this is ability, there is nothing to worry about.

Guan sat in the chair and didn't say much.

She knew that she just had to listen to her mother. After all, her mother was capable and could arrange everything, so she couldn't worry about anything.

And even if she was worried about something, she was like a headless fly, and had no idea about what was happening outside or the changes in the court and the situation.

But my mother is different, she is a daughter of the Wei family.

In the past, Guan might not have been convinced, but now he is completely convinced.

But Jian was a little worried and confused. Seeing her mother not saying anything, she asked anxiously, "Mom, what should we do now?"

"Don't even mention the guy who proposed marriage to Fang Jie'er a few days ago. Even the nephew of the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has regretted it. I heard that he has been engaged to another girl, the youngest daughter of a fifth-rank official, who is much better than Fang Jie'er."

"Also, I asked someone to ask the wife of the director of the Imperial Hospital. I heard that Madam Zhu's attitude was very tactful and she didn't seem to be in a hurry."

After hearing these words, Madam Wei Ying looked at Jian carefully and felt a little embarrassed.

She didn't pay much attention to her concubines' wives.

As long as they don't cause trouble, she won't bother them.

I used to think that the Jane family was very well-behaved, and that a few little thoughts were harmless.

But now it seems that he is still petty and ignorant.

I was anxious about this small matter and failed to see the problem from this small matter.

After Jian finished speaking, seeing that the lady was not very happy, she hurriedly asked cautiously: "Mother, I...did I say something wrong!"

"Mother, I don't know anything about the outside world. I will listen to you in everything."

The lady said, "Listen to me in everything. If I really make the decision, don't feel any resentment in your heart."

"Are you blaming me for stopping you now? You might even be thinking that if it had been earlier, when the Zhu family or even the Right Assistant Minister's family arranged someone to propose marriage to Fang Jie'er, you would have agreed earlier."

"is not it?"

Hearing the lady say this, Jane's heart skipped a beat.

She had indeed thought so, but she didn't dare to show it. It was just a thought that she occasionally had in her heart. How could the lady know?

She carefully raised her eyes to look at the lady, and felt that her eyes were extremely sharp, as if she could see through all the thoughts in her mind.

Jian felt that she could not hide anything in front of the lady.

She quickly apologized, "Mother, I would never dare to have such a rebellious thought. I know that you are doing this for my own good and for Sister Fang's good."

"If mother really wants to ignore it, she won't care about our second house."

Jane felt bitter.

She might have displeased the lady.

I don’t know what will happen to the second room in the future.

These years, she has been careful not to fight or compete, just hoping that the lady will give her more protection.

In fact, she also understood that if the lady was gone, or if the lady separated them out of kindness, they would not know what would happen.

Without the protection of the Earl's Mansion, they were just commoners. Not to mention marrying into noble families, they couldn't even see these noble families on a daily basis.

They will have to rely on the Madam in the future, and even on Jiang Zhinian.

Jane felt humbled and anxious, worried about her daughter.

She knew the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and how difficult it was to be born out of wedlock.

So I wanted my daughter to marry into a good family and become the legitimate wife.

The lady did not say anything at first, but Jian felt cold sweat coming out on her forehead.

Guan, who was watching from the side, also became nervous.

Guan was smart. She knew that as long as these people did not affect Jiang Zhinian, the lady would not bother to care.

But if their actions affect Jiang Zhinian, the lady will definitely take action. She may ignore them or even separate them from the Bo Mansion.

So Guan's face changed and she hurriedly said, "When it came to Hui Jie'er, I was as anxious as my second sister-in-law. As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion, and those involved are confused while those who are on the sidelines can see clearly. I just couldn't see clearly at that time. The other party was so enthusiastic, there must be something wrong. It turned out that he was a spy. In order to infiltrate our Bo's Mansion, he valued Hui Jie'er."

"Second sister-in-law, don't blame me for being nosy. The Zhu family and even the Right Assistant Minister's family can act like this, which shows how snobbish they are."

"If Fang Jie'er really marries over there, it would be good if our Bo's Mansion has power, and they would be able to take care of Fang Jie'er a little more. But if Fang Jie'er can't bring them any benefits, will they still care about Fang Jie'er?"

"Especially if you, second sister-in-law, lose your patience and ask, you will definitely be looked down upon by others. Even Fang Jie'er will be looked down upon by others."

"Second sister-in-law, they are here for the Earl's Mansion and the eldest daughter. They will only show some reaction after the eldest daughter is named the county lady. They are not here for you and Sister Fang. You have to understand this clearly."

When Jane heard this, her face turned pale, as if her face had been torn off.

"Mother, I...I just did this for Sister Fang. I have no other intentions."

The lady said calmly, "They are so powerful that they will come forward when the situation is clear, and retreat far away when the situation is unclear."

"Jian, do you think these two families are good families?"

"The fourth daughter-in-law saw it clearly this time."

Guan smiled and said, "It's still mother's teaching that's right. If mother hadn't asked someone to investigate before, I would still be kept in the dark. Hui Jie'er is now so scared that she said she would listen to her grandmother from now on and that she only believes in her grandmother."

Guan's words are not exaggerating.

If the lady had not intervened at that time, and Hui Jie'er had really been involved in the spies after marrying him, she would have lost half her life if not died.

Isn't it scary?

Jane's face changed again.

At this moment, she actually understood that people just looked down on her sister Fang.

But she was just anxious and wanted to get on with it too much.

But she forgot that she could actually ask the lady for help.

Madam, you must have a way.

The lady looked at Guan and her expression eased a little, "You are smart now."

"Jian and Guan have already said that. If you still don't understand, you can arrange this matter yourself. I am old and I don't care about anything if I can."

When Jian heard this, she was terrified. Her legs went limp. She got down from the chair and knelt down. "Mother, it's my fault. I didn't see clearly."

"Please ask mother to help and help Fang Jie'er. As long as mother asks, they will definitely give in. As long as mother is here, they dare not treat Fang Jie'er badly."

"Besides, the eldest lady is capable. As long as she gives Sister Fang some advice, Sister Fang will benefit a lot and will definitely be looked up to."
