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

At night, after everyone fell asleep, Xia He and Chun Xiao, along with the secret guards, searched Feiyu Pavilion.

An hour later, the two came back with serious expressions and a hint of fear.

"Princess..." Xia He knelt on the ground as soon as she entered the room, "I failed in my duty and someone took advantage of me and placed such filthy things in Feiyu Pavilion."

Chunxiao also knelt beside Xia He, not daring to say a word. She tremblingly took out a small wooden sculpture wrapped in red cloth from her arms.

"The secret guard said that this is... a man's..." Chun Xiao blushed and spoke awkwardly, and couldn't utter the remaining few words for a long time.

Xiao Yunxi looked at this thing and sneered silently, "All of you get up."

She pondered for a moment, "Xia He, you have to do two things. First, put this thing in Lin Wan'er's room without anyone noticing, and then bring back a piece of writing she has written. Second, carefully check the maids and servants in our yard. If you find anyone unusual, keep a close eye on them and don't alert them."

"Chunxiao, you are good at needlework. Make a doll that is dressed similarly to me. Carve my birth date and time on the back in the same handwriting as Lin Wan'er. Then use a knife to make a few sharp cuts on the face. It should be shocking."

"This..." Chun Xiao pursed her lips, clenched her teeth, and her eyes were full of confusion and fear.

"Princess, I will just kill that bitch directly, why bother..." Xia He was also hesitant to speak.

Xiao Yunxi smiled soothingly, "Ghosts and gods are not as scary as human hearts, just do as you are told."

What she didn't say was that it was with the help of ghosts and gods that she was reborn from hell, giving her the opportunity to seek revenge on those people.

Chun Xiao and Xia He were worried that the witchcraft would backfire on Xiao Yunxi.

But they would do whatever the princess ordered. If such a day really came, they would just slit their throats and follow the princess to the underworld to serve her.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yunxi went to Shou'an Hall to pay her respects with a calm face.

Ruan had been waiting inside long ago. When she saw Xiao Yunxi walk in calmly, she was a little annoyed, "Princess, didn't the old lady ask you to clean up the inner courtyard yesterday? Why didn't you do anything?"

After Xiao Yunxi bowed, she replied softly, "Yesterday I told the housekeepers to keep a close eye on every place. If there is any situation, report it in time."

Ruan was so angry that she slammed the table and said, "How can we find out who owns that filthy thing? Why don't you take people to search the whole mansion now?"

The old lady remained silent, because she also hoped that Xiao Yunxi could take this opportunity to search the inner courtyard. On the one hand, she could tighten the belts of the servants to prevent them from being lazy and slacking off, and on the other hand, she could find out the dirty person.

"Mother, the Zhennan Palace is a hereditary title after all. Unless you commit treason, there will never be a day when your family will be confiscated and exterminated."

Xiao Yunxi looked at Ruan with amusement.

"You are now going to raid your own house. If word gets out, people will think that our Zhennan Palace has done something terrible. We are targeting our own people. Who knows, it might even attract the attention of the censor or even the Jinwu Guards..."

Ruan looked confused.

"Can't you search your own mansion yourself?"

"It's not that we can't, but no one in every dynasty has ever violated this taboo. After all, 'search' and 'confiscation of property' mean the same thing, and no one wants to bring bad luck upon themselves!"

"This..." Upon hearing this, Ruan frowned and asked Xiao Yunxi, "So we can only let that bitch go?"

"Of course not." Xiao Yunxi looked at the old lady and the princess. "Since this concerns the reputation of the palace, Yunxi naturally has to act carefully. She announced to the public that it was because she discovered that someone in the palace was gambling privately. She asked the wives and mothers in charge to keep a close eye on them, and also added more night watchmen."

"If we can really find out who that person is, it would be best to deal with him quietly. If we can't find him, we can also make her be cautious and restrain herself for a while, so as not to cause trouble at this critical time when she is staying at the Dong family."

After hearing what Xiao Yunxi said, the old lady and Mrs. Ruan had to admit that this was indeed the best way to deal with it.

Ruan looked at Xiao Yunxi with satisfaction, "You are really good at managing general affairs!"

The old lady gave her a sidelong glance and said, "You are really bad at this!"

Ruan pursed her lips, lowered her head in shame, and muttered softly: "My daughter-in-law is lucky. You were in charge before, and now the princess is in charge."

The old lady didn't want to pay attention to her anymore, and continued to ask Xiao Yunxi, "Have you found anything so far?"

Xiao Yunxi shook her head.

"Have you also instructed Shou'an Hall and the housekeeper in my courtyard?" Ruan asked without thinking.

Xiao Yunxi chuckled, "Princess, the housekeeper in your courtyard has already given instructions yesterday."

"But after all, the cousin of the Lin family lives in Shou'an Hall. I dare not speak rashly. After all, she is a distinguished guest. If you behave like this, it will seem as if our palace is treating a distant relative poorly and bullying a widow."

Ruan waved her hand indifferently, "How can she be so precious? She is just a little bitch. She lives in our palace, so she must abide by the rules of the palace."

Xiao Yunxi glanced at Ruan with a smile but didn't say anything.

When the old lady saw Xiao Yunxi's expression, she clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ruan finally realized what she had said and laughed dryly, "Then Lin Wan'er is indeed a bit annoying. I didn't mean anything else."

After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Yunxi nervously.

"You are very thoughtful, Princess. However, since she is staying in Shou'an Hall, you should send someone to search her to avoid suspicion, so as to avoid any misunderstandings in the future."

Xiao Yunxi understood that the old lady was trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

"Madam, as the saying goes, there are always troubles around a widow. If we really find something extraordinary in Miss Lin's room, even if you know nothing about it, you can't escape responsibility."

"The better version is that you helped your grandson hide a mistress for an affair." Xiao Yunxi smiled, "The worse version is that I'm afraid your reputation will be ruined."

The old lady was very flustered and trembled as she said, "Forget it. After all, she is also a guest of the palace. We should give her some face."

The old lady knew that Xiao Yunxi must have known about the relationship between Lin Wan'er and her two sons and Lu Jingting for a long time, which was why she spoke in a sarcastic way.

But since no one has revealed the truth and Xiao Yunxi has not made a fuss, let's just keep it a mystery.

Xiao Yunxi had already anticipated the old lady's reaction and replied indifferently with a "yes".

After Ruan and Xiao Yunxi left, the old lady had a gloomy face and asked, "What do you think Xiao Yunxi wanted to do? Why didn't she take the opportunity to deal with Lin Wan'er?"

Madam Li didn't dare to answer, "I am stupid."

The old lady had already made up her mind. No matter whether this thing belonged to Lin Wan'er or not, she would pin the blame on Lin Wan'er. Even if she couldn't take her life, she could at least drive her out.

Letting Xiao Yunxi take the opportunity to get rid of Lin Wan'er is both reasonable and a good way to vent anger. Why not do it?

However, thinking of what Xiao Yunxi had just said, the old lady was also sweating with regret. If it was really as she said, and she found something in Lin Wan'er's room...

I’m afraid that my reputation will be ruined in my later years.

The old lady said to Li Ma Ma with a pale face, "Go and call Lin Wan'er! And find that thing and burn it!"

Nanny Li's expression was stern, "Yes!"
