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

Lu Huan stood at one side, looking at Bai Wei, her face changing. Thinking of what her mistress had told her when she came back just now, asking her to be wary of Bai Wei, her brows slightly frowned.

She and Bai Wei lived together day and night, and she was quite displeased with some of Bai Wei's behaviors, but they were all harmless things, and as long as she was loyal to the lady, she had nothing to say.

But now it seems not.

Madam has always been kind to others, and was even more compassionate and gentle to the two of them. If Bai Wei didn't have a big problem, Madam would never have reminded her like this.

Thinking of this, she perked up and answered her doubts:

"That was the old lady's idea. She said that the mansion has only become what it is today thanks to our lady's management over the years. Everything the lady has given away for the mansion has been recorded in the mansion's books.

"Now the mansion is getting better and better. All the things that Madam gave from her dowry will be returned now."

"Great, great."

Bai Wei showed a look of joy on her face, but seeing Jiang Qingyue's indifferent expression she did not dare to act presumptuously. Her voice gradually became softer and she hurriedly directed people to put everything in place.

Lu Huan went into the house and put the bracelet away.

Jiang Qingyue had lunch and took a quick rest. At around 3 p.m., she was called by Luhuan.

"Madam, the prince is back."

Bai Wei's joyful voice came from outside: "Madam, Madam, the prince has returned to the capital. The news just came that he has entered the palace to meet the emperor. The old lady ordered everyone in the mansion to wait at the door."

Jiang Qingyue woke up from her sleep with a start, not knowing what day it was. When she saw Lu Huan, it took her a while to come back to her senses.

Bai Wei walked in with a look of joy on her face. She saw Jiang Qingyue get up from the couch and helped her wring out the towel to wipe her hands.

"It was originally said that it would take two days, but it's too early."

Jiang Qingyue sat in front of the dressing table and looked at Bai Wei through the mirror. Bai Wei seemed to realize that her expression was a bit too much and quickly added:

"The prince must have been worried about his wife, that's why he was so busy for two days.

"Madam has suffered for so long, now that the prince has returned, it is like the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is visible. It will be a good life from now on.

"The house is getting better and better. Madam, you have finally gotten what you deserved after all the hardship you've endured."

Jiang Qingyue withdrew her gaze and said nothing, allowing Luhuan to tie her hair.

She casually pointed at a few pieces of jewelry. Lu Huan looked at the hairpins that the lady had never worn before, was slightly stunned, and then did as she was told.

Bai Wei was left aside, head down, hands folded, nervously moving back and forth, her heart beating fast:

Could it be that I secretly conveyed the message to the old lady and she found out?

Probably not...

She only passed it on once, and it wasn't any secret.

Even if Madam knew, she shouldn't suspect her.

Although she thought so in her heart, she still glanced around guiltily and waited quietly, not daring to say much.

Jiang Qingyue retracted her gaze. Bai Wei needed to be dealt with, but not now. Right now, she had just had some thoughts and didn't dare to make a big mistake. It wouldn't affect her much, but it would be of great use in the future.

After everything was packed up, Jiang Qingyue took the two of them and left the main courtyard.

They had only walked halfway when a maid came to report: Everyone had gone to the front, and the old lady and the eldest wife were almost at the door.

Jiang Qingyue walked to the door, which was already full of people. In addition to the people in the mansion, there were also many ordinary people.

The Marquis' Mansion was not low-key either. They scattered some fruits among the children to celebrate the occasion. More and more people came, and it looked very lively.

The old lady and the eldest wife were looking forward to the long streets and alleys, their faces full of anticipation and excitement.

She stepped forward to salute, and when the old lady saw her, her expression turned colder:

"Why did you come just now?"

Although Xue Feimu has not arrived yet, Jiang Qingyue cannot be late.

If it were in the past, the old lady would still give Jiang Qingyue some face, but ever since she confirmed the news that Xue Feimu would be returning to Beijing soon, the old lady's attitude towards her has completely changed.

The tone of this sentence was full of blame, as if she had done something terribly wrong.

Jiang Qingyue said calmly, "I was so excited when I thought about my husband coming back that I redid my makeup before coming out. That's why I came late. Fortunately, my husband hasn't arrived yet."

She raised her voice a little so that people around her could hear her, and when she said this, her face was a little shy like a girl.

The old lady felt very uncomfortable after hearing this and couldn't find any words to refute.

When Xue Feimu and Jiang Qingyue got married, they went to the battlefield without removing their veils. Later, it was reported that Xue Feimu died in the battlefield. Jiang Qingyue still stayed in the mansion. Now that Xue Feimu came back, it was completely reasonable for Jiang Qingyue, as his legal wife, to dress up a little. Besides, Xue Feimu had not arrived yet.

Jiang Qingyue's words made it seem like she was just looking for trouble.

Sure enough, after Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, the common people who had gathered around to watch the fun looked at her and started pointing and talking in low voices.

She had never been looked at like this before. She felt uncomfortable all over. Seeing Jiang Qingyue becoming more and more unhappy, she had to put on a smile and explain:

"Yes, look at me, Mu'er is so excited to go back to the mansion that she can't even speak clearly. It's only right for her to dress up. You've worked hard for the mansion over the years, managing everything inside and out. Now that Mu'er is back, life will be better."

"Yes." Jiang Qingyue responded.

After saying these words, the old lady felt suffocated. She didn't want to praise Jiang Qingyue at all.

But everyone in the capital knew what Jiang Qingyue had done for the Marquis's Mansion. In order to save her reputation and to show that she was grateful and not ungrateful, she had to pretend.

Although I was not happy about it, at least the incident was over and I felt relieved.

She didn't want to say anything more to Jiang Qingyue, but Jiang Qingyue followed her words and spoke again:

"What the old lady said is what the granddaughter-in-law should do. The old lady said this, but it is embarrassing for the granddaughter-in-law.

"When my husband went to the Jiang Mansion to ask for my hand in marriage, he said that he would treat me well, so I should return the favor. I have indeed suffered a lot over the years, but when I think of my husband, I am not afraid of any hardship."

The people watching the excitement around listened to Jiang Qingyue's words and praised her. Everyone praised her by saying that the Marquis's family was blessed with such a daughter-in-law.

"I heard that the one who had an engagement with the Marquis' Mansion was the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, but later on, for some reason, it was replaced by the third daughter."

"I heard that the prince's wife is a concubine's daughter."

"The Crown Prince's wife is beautiful. She was once crowned the most beautiful woman in the capital. Moreover, even if she is a concubine, she is still a lady from the Shangshu Mansion."

"That's right, you're wrong. I heard that three years ago, the Marquis's family came to ask for the hand in marriage, and the prince said it himself that he was deeply in love with the Third Miss Jiang. The news spread at that time, and many servants in the Jiang Mansion saw it."

"Later, when the news came out that the prince had died, his wife did not leave. She took care of the family and took care of the household chores for the prince. From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that the wife of the prince has done a great favor to the Marquisate."

"That's right. The Marquis's Mansion had no male heirs, and the side branches wanted to divide up the mansion. It was the Crown Prince's wife who personally stepped in to calm the situation. She single-handedly saved the Marquis' Mansion and even agreed to adopt a child to guard the mansion until old age."

"Yes, and I heard that the Crown Prince's wife sold her dowry to buy land and shops for the Marquis's mansion..."
