After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

After a few more days, Ruan was on the verge of collapse.

Although all matters in the mansion could be handled according to the rules set by Xiao Yunxi and nothing went wrong, the fatigue of working from dawn to dusk was unbearable.

Ruan had been married into the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion for decades, and this was the first time she realized that being a housekeeper was such a tiring and laborious job.

After sending away the last housekeeper, she drank two cups of tea and said, "We can't go on like this. Let's go to Shou'an Hall!"

Hongmei, the personal maid, looked at Ruan hesitantly, "But the old lady is ill."

“Tsk,” Ruan rolled her eyes, “Which old woman can eat so much when she’s sick?

Just now the old woman said that a vase was broken in Shou'an Hall this morning.

It's obvious that he was angry because he failed to pretend to be sick! "

"Then you will run into fire if you go there now?"

Ruan thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, the old lady will just scold me at most, that's all.

Besides, I just thought of a good idea, I guarantee the old lady will praise me when she hears it!"

Hongmei suddenly felt uneasy, thinking that the princess was going to do something strange!

He was startled when he saw Ruan had already walked to the door, so he quickly calmed down and followed her.

As soon as I entered the gate of Shou'an Hall, I saw Lu Jingting kneeling dejectedly in the middle of the yard.

"Jingting, what are you doing?"

Ruan walked forward and asked with concern.

"Mother, grandmother is still angry with her son."

Lu Jingting lowered his head. His grandmother pretended to be sick and wanted Xiao Yunxi to take care of her, but Xiao Yunxi also pretended to be sick and gave up.

My grandmother was so angry that she wanted me to go to Feiyu Pavilion and bring Xiao Yunxi over.

There was a flash of embarrassment in Lu Jingting's eyes. Not to mention that he had been whipped by Xiao Yunxi before, if he went to Feiyu Pavilion again, he would probably lose his life.

My grandmother used to be a very sensible person, why is she coming up with all these stupid ideas now?

"Get up," the old prince walked in from outside the courtyard, "come in with me."

"Yes!"

Ruan quickly helped Lu Jingting up and followed him into the inner room.

The old lady was lying on the couch sulking, with a handkerchief on her forehead.

The old prince sat on the couch on the other side and sneered: "Xiao Yunxi is not here, who are you showing this to!"

The old lady pulled off the handkerchief and threw it on the ground, "Then what do you say we should do?"

"Madam, I have an idea. I will make sure Xiao Yunxi will admit her mistake to Jing Ting."

Ruan offered a cup of tea and looked at the old lady with a smile.

"You?!" The old lady glared at him unhappily, "What good ideas can a pig's brain have!"

"..." Ruan pouted in grievance, "Please listen first, and then scold me if it doesn't work."

The old prince was interested. "Tell me about it."

"Yes," Ruan sat on a chair nearby and said softly, "This woman cares most about her reputation. If Xiao Yunxi's reputation is damaged, she will naturally no longer be able to be tough."

"If her reputation is damaged, your son's reputation will be even worse," the old lady felt a toothache when she saw her unfathomable expression, "Do you think your son's brain is not green enough? Must it be green to the point of being black?"

"Oh," Ruan waved her hand, "How come you haven't been thinking clearly after lying in bed for a few days?"

As if she didn't notice the old lady's angry look, she continued, "What if a foreign man touched her body in public, or looked at her while she was bathing?

Or if she has any moles or birthmarks on her body and they were known by other men, what would happen?

Isn't this damaging to reputation?

By then, if Jing Ting is willing to forgive her without any reservations, won’t she be grateful?

Not to mention whipping Jing Ting, I might even have to kneel down in front of Jing Ting and beg for mercy!"

The hall suddenly became quiet.

The old prince had a blank expression on his face, the old lady had a frown on her face, and Lu Jingting was a little nervous instead.

"Mother, it would be best if we could get hold of something that could hold something against Xiao Yunxi. She would definitely obey us. But this would ruin her reputation... I'm afraid..."

Lu Jingting still felt sorry for her. A woman of such noble birth and pure character should not be framed like this.

"What's the big deal? It's not like she's really at a disadvantage," Ruan waved her hand indifferently, "If you really can't bear it, find a maid to secretly remember the location of her birthmark, and then find a ruffian to come to the mansion and make a fuss.

If Xiao Yunxi is willing to bow her head, we can pretend to be magnanimous and not care about it, and then beat that rogue to death with sticks, and put an end to it. Maybe she will be even more grateful! "

"What if..." Lu Jingting was a little moved, "Xiao Yunxi doesn't have any birthmarks on her body?"

Ruan blinked, "Then we can find a local thug to watch her bathing, and then we can run out and catch him in the act, right?!"

Lu Jingting was speechless now. Although Ruan's method was vicious, it was indeed effective.

The old lady put down her teacup, "Then have you thought of someone to find to see if Xiao Yunxi has a birthmark? Where can the ruffians find it?"

Ruan spread her hands and said, "I have never thought about my daughter-in-law. Everything will be up to you, old lady."

The old lady looked at her as if it was her due and was immediately furious. "Useless thing!"

Ruan's face turned ugly after hearing this. The old lady pretended to be sick and lay in bed for a few days, but it was useless. She still had the nerve to say this!

Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute, she was interrupted by the old prince, "It won't work if you're just a scoundrel. It's better to find someone who's easy to control. As long as you hold this person firmly in your hands, no matter Xiao Yunxi, the Ningguo Mansion, or the eldest princess, they will all be afraid to act rashly."

The old lady lowered her head and thought about it. There was no suitable candidate around her. "It's not easy to find such a person."

The old prince tapped the table and pondered for a moment. After a moment, he said, "Your mother's nephew, Jing Ting's cousin."

Ruan and Lu Jingting looked at each other after hearing this. It was him? !

"Ni Feng?" The old lady frowned, "That child is the only legitimate grandson of the Ni family!"

"Haha," the old prince sneered, "Can't bear to part with it?

Over the past few decades, how much money and things have you taken from the palace and sent back to your parents' home?

You've helped your mother's family a lot! Now you need their help but it's not working?

Just tell him that if he agrees to this, I will find a way to send him to the army. In the future, he can be promoted to general based on his military merits. Isn't it just a matter of a word?"

The old lady's face turned red and white. She was angry that the old prince did not give her face in front of his daughter-in-law and grandson, but she was also tempted by the conditions he proposed.

The Ni family fell into poverty, and they have been able to make ends meet over the years by relying on my occasional help.

No matter how much he made a fuss before, the old prince never gave in.

If Ni Feng could join the army and get the support of the old prince...

"Then I will ask him to come over tomorrow," the old lady said in a deep voice, "I hope the master can guarantee Feng'er's safety and future. He is the only legitimate grandson of my Ni family!"

The old prince did not comment, "Don't forget what it means to be obedient to your husband after marriage!"
