Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

The next morning, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

In March, the wind carries a chilly chill from late spring.

Jiang Qingyue opened her eyes drowsily, and saw the drizzle outside the window with the sound of raindrops.

Lu Huan came in, "Madam, you are awake."

"Ah."

Jiang Qingyue saw that she looked unnatural and asked:

"Where's Bai Wei?"

"The palace is preparing a welcoming banquet for the prince, and she went to meet with the steward to coordinate the palace plaque."

"Yes. Did you see him this morning?"

"Yes."

Lu Huan lowered her head, feeling flustered and distressed.

Last night, the lady quietly told her that the general had arrived and asked her to keep an eye on Bai Wei and pay attention to the people outside.

She never expected that the general would stay overnight in the lady's room.

It was inappropriate for a man to come to the lady's room quietly in the middle of the night, and it was really inappropriate for him to spend the night here...

My wife has suffered too much injustice.

Jiang Qingyue closed her eyes. The sound of rain became clearer in her ears and the sound of the wind became much stronger. Fortunately, the quilt was warm and comfortable.

"This won't happen just once."

She knew very well that for Dong Lingyan, she was still a novelty for the time being and it would take some time.

She has to adapt, and Lu Huan also has to get used to it.

"Yes." Lu Huan lowered his head and cried, looking at his wife with heartache.

"Madam, please take a bath."

"it is good."

This kind of thing had happened before. She felt guilty, wronged and sad, so she didn't dare to show the slightest sign of it. She didn't even dare to get up early to take a shower, for fear that others would notice.

Now, you have to make yourself comfortable first.

Lu Huan helped Jiang Qingyue get up, and Jiang Qingyue asked her to bring some contraceptive pills.

After taking a shower, Jiang Qingyue felt much more refreshed. She walked out the door and sat down on a chair under the corridor.

There is a round table under the corridor, with a rich breakfast on it. Ivy hangs down from the glazed tile eaves, raindrops fall, and the beauty's clothes flutter. It is quiet and far-reaching, like a poem or a painting.

Jiang Qingyue sat in the main seat and ate slowly and leisurely.

There was a voice coming from the gate of the courtyard. It was Bai Wei coming back.

She walked quickly into the hanging flower gate with anger on her face. She stopped in front of Jiang Qingyue, bowed to her, and then spoke:

"Madam, this Aunt Chu is really too much. How could she be so good at such an important matter as the prince's welcoming banquet? She is really taking on porcelain goods without diamonds, and she is not afraid of hurting herself."

Bai Wei cursed and was obviously very angry.

Jiang Qingyue noticed that she was more polite than before and knew that she took what she said yesterday to heart.

While continuing to drink the lily porridge, he asked casually:

"When is the welcoming banquet for the prince scheduled?"

"It's the last day of March, and there are exactly ten days left."

Lu Huan bit her lower lip, suppressed her emotions and asked, "Madam, do you want to go see the old lady?"

Such a big matter, without asking the Madam, and handed it over to a concubine, the old lady is ungrateful, and the prince is also...

"No need."

"Yes."

Jiang Qingyue looked at Bai Wei and said, "Thank you for your hard work today.

"But it's a good thing to exercise more. Instead of letting others get away with it, it's better to let you experience more."

Bai Wei instantly understood the meaning of this sentence. She looked at Jiang Qingyue in disbelief, suppressed her ecstasy, bowed her head and knelt down:

"Madam, I have no other thoughts. This is all for you."

Jiang Qingyue took a sip of porridge and gently put down the spoon in her hand. The spoon hit the wall of the bowl, making a crisp sound.

It felt like thunder in Bai Wei's heart.

She held her breath and didn't dare to look up. It took a while before she heard the voices.

“I think you have feelings for the prince, if I’m wrong, then forget it.

"You and Lu Huan will go out with me today, and I will leave all the affairs in the mansion to other people. I think many people will be willing to do so."

"Madam..." Bai Wei raised her head, her face pale.

Looking at Jiang Qingyue's expression, I couldn't figure out what she meant.

She naturally had her own ideas, but she was afraid that Jiang Qingyue would deceive her and think that she had ulterior motives.

But now that Concubine Chu has come into the family, and the prince is also in love with Concubine Chu, and she didn't inform Madam about such a big thing today. As Madam's maidservant, it is reasonable for Madam to let me take the position...

Bai Wei thought about a lot of things in her mind.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and kowtowed to Jiang Qingyue:

"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness. I am willing to do this. If I am lucky enough to catch the eye of the prince, I will definitely be of the same mind as you and will never forget your kindness. I will definitely be grateful to you."

Lu Huan was so angry that her face turned pale, but she couldn't utter a word.

Bai Wei's words directly revealed that she had this idea in her mind for a long time.

As a maid who came with the dowry, it was understandable that she wanted to enter her brother-in-law's room, but... Lu Huan couldn't describe the feeling in her heart, she just felt very uncomfortable.

She and Bai Wei grew up together with the Madam and entered the Marquis' Mansion together, but today she found that Bai Wei was so unfamiliar, as if she had just met her for the first time.

Lu Huan didn't understand. She felt uncomfortable not because Bai Wei was going to be a concubine, but because the real Bai Wei was different from how she appeared.

She couldn't imagine what the strange Bai Wei had done behind her back to make her wife so wary of her.

Jiang Qingyue smiled slightly:

"Get up."

Bai Wei raised her head and looked at Jiang Qingyue. After confirming that she was really not angry, she breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that her back was covered in cold sweat.

"Yes." She stood up tremblingly and stood aside, not daring to move.

Waiting for Jiang Qingyue's instructions.

Jiang Qingyue didn't say anything. The surroundings were quiet and a drizzle was falling. Bai Wei felt uneasy and thought that she had responded too quickly.

Madam has been waiting for the prince for so many years. Now that he is back, no one would send him away at this time.

I was still too impatient.

But now that the words have been spoken, there is no way to take them back, so I can only bite the bullet and move forward.

Even if the lady doesn't have such an idea, she will make the lady willingly send her to the position.

"I have already thought about it. The first thing I will do is to find faults of Aunt Chu. Once I find them, I will remain calm and leave everything to Madam to handle."

"very good."

This time, Jiang Qingyue responded to her quickly.

Bai Wei felt slightly relieved, secretly thinking that she had made the right move.

Jiang Qingyue: "It is my idea to let you go, but whether you can win the favor of the prince depends on your ability."

"Yes, I understand." Ever since Jiang Qingyue asked that question last night, she has been thinking about it.

Originally, she thought that since the prince liked Aunt Chu, the lady needed her, and she could take the opportunity to ask the lady to help her get promoted. But now, she dared not ask for anything. She even had to flatter her face and do things for the lady.

"I will definitely let the prince see me."

Jiang Qingyue was very satisfied with her attitude: "Well, from now on, you will be responsible for the communication between Wutong Courtyard and the prince."

Bai Wei was overjoyed, knowing that the Madam accepted her. She relaxed a little, unable to hide her joy on her face, and said with a smile:

"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Madam. I will try my best."

"Go down."

"Yes." Bai Wei glanced at Jiang Qingyue, and not noticing anything unusual on her face, she stepped back.

After the people had gone far away, Lu Huan secretly wiped away a tear:

"Madam, is Bai Wei...trustworthy?"

“Not credible, but usable.”

She will repay those who hurt her in her previous life tenfold or a hundredfold.

This time, she wants to lead Bai Wei by the nose, make Bai Wei depend on her, but not betray her.

The first step is to make her stand on the opposite side of Chu Wan'er from the beginning and face her head-on.

Whether from the perspective of personal relationships or interests, there is no chance for them to cooperate at all.

After Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, she stood up and went into the house. Lu Huan hurried over to help her.

When he reached the door, Jiang Qingyue looked back at the table and instructed Lu Huan:

"Is there a maid named Liang Jin in Wutong Courtyard? Transfer her up here."

"Yes."

"I don't like this name, let's change it to: Shiso."

"Yes."

Jiang Qingyue entered the room and whispered a few instructions to Luhuan, who was startled after hearing them.

"Madam, are you going to give away all the dowry? Or are you going to keep some?"

"No need. I have no use for it. Someone needs it more than me."

In her previous life, her uncle from her maternal grandfather’s Lin family was a businessman who had a liking for a batch of silk. However, because he had no money, he gave the good business to other people. Not only did he miss out on a large sum of income, but he also put his money on another batch of jewelry. However, he was suspected of accepting bribes from officials in the court and his wealth was confiscated by the court. He lost his fortune overnight.

In this life, she wants to avoid this tragedy.

My second uncle, who was a juren, contracted a serious illness at the end of this month and died because he was short of three or two taels of ginseng.

In this life, she wants to save her second uncle.

My maternal grandfather’s family, the Lin family, was considered a scholarly family in the past, but it was not well-known in the capital city where nobles were everywhere.

Later, when the Lin family encountered difficulties, it was her grandfather who accidentally saved the Lin family. It happened that her father met her mother by chance and was attracted by her beauty and wanted to take her into the family.

The women of the Lin family were not allowed to be concubines, but the Lin family was in the capital, and their family background was not good enough to become the wife of a high-ranking official of the imperial court.

Her mother didn't want to embarrass her parents, so she agreed to let her go.

Only then did she enter the Jiang Mansion as a concubine.

However, she did not expect that the Jiang Mansion was a den of dragons and tigers. Her mother died when she was still a child.

In the past, she thought that her mother's death was just as outsiders said, that beauty was doomed to a tragic fate.

Now that she has experienced this life, she no longer thinks so.

Man is evil by nature.

Thinking back to what happened in the mansion, she was almost certain that there was something fishy about her mother's death.

This time, she wants to find evidence and make the person who did the bad thing pay with his life.

We must also protect our mother’s relatives.

Lu Huan still advised: "Madam, please keep some money. You will need it eventually."

Jiang Qingyue shook her head: "No need, I've got a little bit, it's enough, go ahead."

If she needs money and the Marquis's Mansion doesn't give it to her, there's still Dong Ling Yan.

In the past, she dared not use other people's needles and threads. Her bitter experiences made her understand one truth:

As long as it does not break the law, you can use other people's things. As long as the other party is willing to give and you are not greedy, there is no problem.

In this life, she doesn't want to be a person with a strong sense of morality. She wants to be a little selfish and willful.

People who are too sensible are so tiring.

“We will start preparing for the welcoming banquet today. There are many people coming and going in the mansion, so no one will notice us.

“You should sort out the things now, save the big ones for shipping later, and pick out the worthless ones.

"After the valuable boxes are compacted, they can be shipped out openly by horse-drawn carriage. I will be with you then.

“I saw it when we were packing it up yesterday, and the big ones can be transported out in one horse-drawn cart.

"Also, there are two young servants named Da Wu and Xiao Wu in front. They are the grandsons of the gatekeeper, Old Yu. Transfer them over to serve.

"If anyone asks, just say that the previous ones were not convenient to use, so I randomly picked two from the outer courtyard to be my guards and drivers in the future."

"Yes." Seeing that his wife had a plan, Lu Huan did not say anything else and left.

Lu Huan left and Jiang Qingyue sat down in front of the window.

Wutong Courtyard was quiet, but one could vaguely hear the noise outside.

Jiang Qingyue didn't care at all.

She was thinking about several things:

——Three days later, when she returns to her parents’ home, she will take all of her mother’s people with her and buy a house to house them.

——How can we secretly deliver the dowry to the Lin family today?

——Welcome banquet, since Chu Wan'er wants to worry about it, let her go. It's just right to hand over the household expenses.

She had long since given up on living in this dilapidated mansion.

Let everyone see what the real marquis’ mansion looks like.

She was looking forward to seeing their expressions.

……

Jiang Qingyue drank her tea quietly, thinking over the past few days from beginning to end.

With more confidence in his mind, his expression became more determined.

There is just one thing...

Donglingyan.

She had plans and intentions for other things, but Dong Lingyan...

She didn't know what changes would happen, what the impact would be, or where it would go.

She took a sip of her tea.

When I put the teacup down, it made a dull sound on the mahogany carved table, like a stone falling into a calm lake. The still water runs deep, stirring up a circle of ripples that spread far away and finally return to calm.

After finishing a pot of tea, Lu Huan came back with someone behind her.

The two of them walked to Jiang Qingyue and stopped. The person behind Lu Huan took a step forward and knelt down in front of Jiang Qingyue:

"Your servant Zi Su greets Madam."

"Well, get up."

Zi Su stood up as he was told and waited at one side with his head down.

Jiang Qingyue looked at her and nodded:

"I originally had Lu Huan and Bai Wei by my side. Bai Wei will be in charge of external affairs in the future, so I will only have Lu Huan by my side. Now I am transferring you to serve me. Are you willing?"

"In reply to Madam, I am willing to do so."

Jiang Qingyue smiled at her.

In her previous life, she was falsely accused of having an affair with a servant. Xue Feimu beat her severely and locked her up in the woodshed. It was Zi Su who secretly brought her a clean meal.

Zi Su said that it was because she was bullied by a servant once, and it was the lady who protected her, sent the servant away, and helped her get justice. She said that the lady was kind and not a bad person.

Jiang Qingyue didn't even remember this happening, but Zisu did.

She felt that someone who was so grateful must not be a bad person.

"Okay, you can get familiar with it for a few days first, and then replace Bai Wei. If you don't know anything, just ask Lu Huan. Lu Huan is someone I trust."

"Yes, I understand." Zi Su immediately understood the meaning of Jiang Qingyue's words.

If you have any questions, ask Lu Huan instead of Bai Wei.

"Okay, I'll take Lu Huan out in a while, you stay at Wutong Courtyard."

"Yes." Zi Su responded.

You can see that Shisu is still a little nervous.

Jiang Qingyue smiled at her again, in a gentle tone:

"If anyone comes, don't be afraid. Just wait until I come back."

"Yes, please keep this in mind, slave."

"Ah."

Jiang Qingyue went back to the room, changed into a coat, and went out with Luhuan.

In the Wutong Courtyard, Zi Su watched the two of them leave, and the hand that was clutching her sleeve finally loosened.

Madam is such a kind person, she must do things well.

She had been transferred to work in Wutong Court with great difficulty, and now she was fortunate enough to be by the lady's side. This was truly a blessing from her previous life, and she must cherish it.
