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

The old lady pondered for a while:

"Forget it, I'd better not go. Since it has been announced to the public that Jiang Qingyue wants to divorce, don't take the initiative to cause trouble. As for the Jiang family, I'll talk about it later.

"In this matter, we are the party that was notified and we are the victims. If someone says that the Marquis' Mansion is not right, we will have an excuse."

"But if this news gets out, the Jiang family will know it soon. Especially if Jiang Qingyue really committed a crime, the Jiang family will definitely not agree to divorce and let Jiang Qingyue return home."

If a daughter of a wealthy family divorces, it is extremely shameful and has a huge impact.

If I live back home, the women in the mansion will be pointed at and talked about.

If you are not allowed to go home, your parents will be accused of being inhumane.

If you make a mistake, you can go to the ancestral temple.

A divorced daughter is really disadvantageous to her parents' family.

If Jiang Qingyue is really guilty and they divorced, then the Jiang family will have to bear all the consequences and they will not let it go.

"Then try to delay it."

Xue Feimu thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a solution: "Then how to delay it?"

The old lady gritted her teeth, her eyes full of shrewd calculations:

"Let everyone think that Jiang Qingyue was wrongly accused and will be released soon. In this way, this matter will only be a temporary excitement.

"We will quietly spread the news to the public, saying that we have found the Imperial Concubine, and that she is still alive and well, and that she did fall off a cliff. This will not only help the Jiang family relax their vigilance and prevent them from coming to our door, but it will also help change the topic in the capital so that everyone will not focus on this matter at the Marquis' Mansion."

"This... is good, but this... is already considered a rumor. If the government finds out, it will be difficult to deal with."

"It's just a small thing, just do it carefully and don't let anyone find out. There are so many new things happening in the capital every day. Teahouses and taverns say all kinds of things. Who would know it was us?

"Let's take a step back and say that even if they find out something later, it's just a small matter of spreading rumors. They can just push a scapegoat out of the way. In this way, the Marquis' Mansion can clear itself of all charges."

The more Xue Feimu listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he immediately arranged for someone to do it.

Watching Xue Feimu leave, the old lady took a big sip of tea and took a break.

He cursed at Jiang Qingyue.

"It's no good, it's just causing trouble."

Nanny Li said, "Fortunately, they are divorced. The old lady can choose the next wife for the prince. The Marquis's mansion has status and position, and the prince is handsome. He will definitely marry a young lady who is helpful and has a good temper."

These words touched the old lady's heart.

"Yes, I'll have to take a closer look after this matter is over."

The old lady looked at the divorce papers on the table and snorted coldly.

"You go to Wutong Courtyard in person, and while she's away, take out all the valuables from her dowry, and tell everyone that she spent them herself.

"Also, take out all the valuable things in the house."

Anything that enters the Marquis' Mansion belongs to the Marquis' Mansion and you cannot take it away.

If General Dongling hadn't asked about it last time, many things would have been in her Cisongyuan now.

"Madam, this is a dowry. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?" Nanny Li asked hesitantly.

She naturally knew what the old lady was thinking, but if people knew that it was she who moved the young lady's dowry, she wouldn't know how people would criticize her.

To be honest, she didn't really want to go on this mission.

The old lady said: "What's wrong with that? She is a divorced woman, so she should just be with the Buddha forever. What does she need so much money for? Is she thinking of getting married? What a joke."

Nanny Li wiped the sweat from her forehead and replied awkwardly, "Yes."

Although he was reluctant, he didn't dare to show it.

Nanny Li stepped back and took a few people with her and went to Wutong Courtyard immediately.

When the maidservants in Wutong Courtyard saw Li Ma and her entourage coming in a threatening manner, they were so scared that they retreated and hid.

Only Shisu was left guarding the door.

When Zi Su saw their posture, her heart skipped a beat.

The affairs of the young lady were being spread throughout the mansion, so naturally she had heard about it as well.

Nanny Li came here at this time with no good intentions.

Fearing that he was here to cause trouble, she suppressed her fear, took a step forward, and greeted him with a smile:

"Madame Li is here, is there anything?"

Nanny Li glanced at her, ignored her, and waved to the people behind her.

The maid behind her stepped forward and was about to rush into the house. Zi Su was startled and stretched out her hand to stop them:

"What are you doing? This is the Crown Prince's wife's room. You are not allowed to enter without her permission."

She spoke very loudly, but no one paid any attention, and the person who came forward tried to force his way in.

Zi Su took a step back, stopped him again, and shouted:

"What's the difference between you and robbers?"

"Pa." Nanny Li stepped forward and slapped Zi Su in the face. One side of Zi Su's face turned red visibly.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? Get out of the way."

"No."

Zi Su was slapped and felt a burning pain on her face, but she stood at the door without any intention of backing down.

"You can't go in. This is the place where the prince's wife lives."

"What Crown Prince's Wife? From now on, there is no Crown Prince's Wife in this Marquis' Mansion." A old woman said sarcastically.

"Impossible." Zi Su was a little anxious. She didn't know what was happening outside that these people dared to say such things.

"Even if the young lady is not here, you are not allowed to enter this room."

Zi Su was very scared at this time. She didn't know what they meant, but she knew that something big had happened.

If something really happened to the young lady, she would not have a good ending given her current condition. But no matter what, she could not let them touch the young lady's things.

Since she had promised the young lady, she had to keep it well.

"Although the young lady has been imprisoned, the truth is still unknown. How dare you treat the young lady like this and openly break into her room? If you tell anyone, aren't you afraid of bringing shame to the Marquisate?"

"What a loyal dog you are! You have forgotten who your real master is. The Marquis' Mansion provides you with food and clothing, but it is not for you to betray others. Open your dog eyes and see clearly that those who come here are from Cisongyuan."

"People from Cisongyuan cannot just barge into the young lady's room like this."

Nanny Li saw that Zi Su didn't know what was good for her, and she was very angry:

"Come here, pull her away. If you dare to stop me again, I'll break her legs and sell her to a brothel."

"Yes." Several old women and maids rushed towards Zi Su.

Zi Su was forced to step back repeatedly. Although she was terrified, she still spoke out to stop them: "No, you can't do this."

"I'll let you see if it's possible or not."

Zi Su tried to stop her, and two old women came forward and tried to grab her arms and restrain her.

"You can't do this..." Zi Su shouted in horror.

Just as he was about to be held down, a loud shout came from the door:

"stop.

"This is Wutong Courtyard's maid. You are not qualified to deal with her."

At the gate of Wutong Courtyard, Lu Huan came in hurriedly from outside and stopped these people from taking action.

When Li Ma saw Lu Huan, she sneered:

"Oh, I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Miss Green Wash.

"Miss Lu Huan, you are wrong. You are the young mistress's maid, but she is not. According to my status as an old servant, I still have the right to deal with the servants of the Xue family."

Lu Huan replied, "Zi Su is not a family-born daughter, but a maid bought from outside. When my young lady asked for her from the palace, she also bought her with the indenture, using my young lady's own dowry. Zi Su is now my young lady's maid, and it is not Li Ma's turn to do anything.

“If she is really wrong, my young lady is not here, and the Jiang family’s mistress will punish her.

“My young lady is indeed not close to the Jiang family, but she is also the biological daughter of Minister Jiang. Even for the sake of the Jiang family’s reputation, Minister Jiang would never allow a servant to insult my young lady like this.

"Now that my young lady and the prince have divorced, Nanny Li is so eager to take back Wutong Courtyard. Is this going to make the Xue and Jiang families enemies?"

Lu Huan's words were powerful and she stated the facts and moved out of the Jiang family. No matter what Nanny Li wanted to do, she had to think twice.

The last sentence said that Nanny Li sent people because the prince wanted to take back Wutong Courtyard after his divorce, which also gave them a way out.

The young lady instructed: The most important thing is to bring out the perilla, the other small things don’t matter.

Her dowry had been given away long ago and there was nothing important in it.

Nanny Li looked at Lu Huan and cursed in her heart, asking her how she dared to use the Jiang family to pressure her.

She could deal with Zi Su, but she really didn't dare to deal with Lu Huan. Lu Huan just said something very right. No matter how much Minister Jiang disliked the young lady, he would not allow a servant to insult the Jiang family.

Back then, when the male members of the Marquis' Mansion were in trouble, many people from the side branches of the Xue family with bad intentions wanted to divide the Xue family up. It was only because the young lady's surname was Jiang and she spoke up that they had to be cautious.

Even the uncles and aunts from the side branches were like this, let alone her, a small servant.

Nanny Li saw the situation clearly and naturally did not dare to make things difficult for Lu Huan.

"She's quite a clever girl. She's worthy of being taught by the young mistress.

"I am not trying to embarrass you. I am here on the orders of my master to take back Wutong Courtyard. Now that the prince and the young lady are divorced, it is not appropriate for the young lady to live in Wutong Courtyard. Besides, the young lady will not be able to come back for a while, so it is reasonable for us servants to clean up Wutong Courtyard.

"Well, pack up your things and leave. Miss Lu Huan, please don't talk nonsense when you return to the Jiang family."

"Of course not."

Lu Huan pulled Zi Su and was about to go into the house when Li Ma Ma's voice came from behind:

"Miss Lu Huan, please hurry up. I have been ordered to come out and I have to go back to report. Please don't make it difficult for me, Miss Lu Huan. Just give me a quarter of an hour."

Luhuan nodded and went into the house with Zisu.

As soon as the door was closed, Zi Su looked at Lu Huan and tears fell. Lu Huan grabbed her hand and found that she was trembling violently.

"Don't be afraid, the lady asked me to come back and take you out."

Zi Su nodded desperately, and tears fell with every nod.

"Pack your things first. To make it short, the young lady and the prince have divorced, and we need to leave the mansion as soon as possible. Don't take things that can be left alone. Some things cannot be taken away. Only take the most important things. But we still have to pretend..."

Lu Huan said in a low voice, finishing quickly, and Zi Su nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

Lu Huan put away Zi Su's indenture contract, and then packed Jiang Qingyue's usual clothes and jewelry into two bags.

I brought two sets of clothes with me, and packed all the other things into a box. I put some cloth ornaments that looked slightly valuable on the top, and filled the bottom with random things.

Because he had prepared in advance, he collected it quickly, but he was not in a hurry to come out. He waited until Nanny Li outside urged him to come out, then he came out with a smile, wanting to ask for more time and gave a piece of silver.

Madam Li took the silver and put it in her sleeve pocket, then gave them some time. She thought to herself: No matter how you pack it, you can't move these things. It's a waste if you don't do a favor.

Lu Huan was very grateful and spent a long while counting the boxes in the storeroom and piling them up before she left the storeroom and thanked Li Ma:

"Today, there are only two of us, so we should first send these clothes and jewelry that my young lady usually wears back to the Jiang family, and send someone to get the other things later."

Naturally, Nanny Li was more than happy to do so.

And to avoid her not letting them take things and causing a quarrel.

"Of course. But..."

As she spoke, she glanced at the bundles behind them:

"You still need to check the baggage you carry."

Zi Su frowned: "These are all the young lady's things, why do you need to check them?"

Nanny Li said in a domineering tone, "It's not that I don't trust your young lady, but you've been disloyal since you left the mansion. Who knows if you took the opportunity to take something away? Wouldn't it be bad if your young lady was misunderstood because of this?"

Zi Su was very angry and was stopped by Lu Huan:

"Since Madam wants to see it, then go ahead. If there is anything in here that is suitable for the Marquis, I will keep my life in the Marquis's mansion, without a second thought."

As he spoke, Lu Huan walked to the table, took down the bags behind him and Zi Su, opened them for them to check, looking humiliated.

Nanny Li looked over and saw that the clothes and jewelry inside were indeed those that Jiang Qingyue usually wore.

There were several bracelets of excellent quality, which were worth a lot of money, and her eyes lit up when she saw them.

If I had known earlier, I would have just let them leave their luggage behind without making excuses.

Now they have found a reason. The other party is very aggressive and really does not have anything from the Marquis' Mansion, so it is difficult for them to seize it.

The old lady had repeatedly warned that valuable things must never leave the mansion.

Just as she was thinking about how to keep these things, Lu Huan pointed to the dowry boxes in the storeroom:

"Since Madam wants to see our things, now that she has seen them, I think she will not embarrass us any more. Madam, please keep a good eye on the things in the warehouse for us."

Lu Huan's words were spoken in anger, but they sounded different to Nanny Li.

When the dowry was mentioned, Nanny Li immediately gave up the idea of ​​confiscating the jewelry.

Compared to Jiang Qingyue's ten miles of red makeup, this little thing is really not worth mentioning.

Anyway, her task was just to leave the things behind. What happened to the dowry and how the two sides quarreled had nothing to do with her.

"Of course, this old slave will certainly make people look favorably upon him."

"Then I'll trouble you, Madam." Lu Huan still had anger on her face. She put away the two bundles, and she and Zi Su each carried one on their backs and quickly walked out of Wutong Courtyard.

Nanny Li looked at the two men's backs and felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Thinking about the old lady's instructions, he immediately went into the warehouse next door to check Jiang Qingyue's dowry.
