The Crown Princess is reborn, and the three treasures compete to burn the family tree

The Marquis's wife patted Xie Yan's hand and called in Nanny Du, who was kneeling outside the door.

She looked at the panicked Madam Du and said, "Seal the doors and windows of the East Courtyard tonight. No more food will be delivered. Jiang Li will not be allowed to step out of the door again!"

Madam Du's old face trembled. Madam Hou was going to starve Jiang Li to death in the East Courtyard, but she said without hesitation: "Yes, Madam, don't worry!"

On the other side, Jiang Li and Qingzhu had already left Wangchunyuan and returned to the East Courtyard in a sedan chair.

Compared with Dujuan Chunwang, the East Courtyard is pitifully small. It has no front garden and back kitchen, and only the main house and two side rooms on the left and right, as well as an ear room.

The front yard is not very big, with a clump of wintersweet flowers on the left and a grape porch on the right, with a set of chairs and benches underneath.

In February, all the flowers and leaves have fallen and no new branches have sprouted, and the whole courtyard is desolate and empty.

As long as the gate and the flower walls on both sides of such a courtyard are locked, the people in the courtyard cannot fly out even if they have wings.

After the meal, it was already dark. Jiang Li washed up and prepared to go to bed. She didn't have the habit of letting the maids stay in the room all night, so the maids and servants had already left.

Qingzhu did not leave, but looked at Jiang Li, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Jiang Li asked directly: "Qingzhu, what do you want to say?"

Qingzhu said tactfully, "Princess, aren't you going to see the young master today?"

Xie Yulang did not live in the East Courtyard, but in Linlang Yuyuan.

Jiang Li didn't say anything, and Qingzhu stammered again.

"The Marquis's wife and the young lady have been making things difficult for you during the day. They will definitely not let it go. I'm afraid they will gossip about you and alienate you from me."

Over the years, Jiang Li wanted to give her heart to Xie Yulang, but Xie Yulang only listened to Madam Hou and Xie Yan, and opposed Jiang Li everywhere.

Originally, the mother and son parted on bad terms in the morning. If Jiang Li didn't go to see Xie Yulang, Xie Yan and Madam Hou would probably instigate Xie Yulang to be angry with Jiang Li, and Xie Yulang would make a fuss again tomorrow morning.

Qingzhu doesn't like Xie Yulang, but she doesn't want Xie Yulang to become the sword to attack Jiang Li.

Jiang Li shook his head and said, "No need, let them go."

She would not coax Xie Yulang anymore, and as expected, Madam Hou and Xie Yan would definitely take action tonight. They would not be able to wait until tomorrow morning, and there would be no need to alienate her and Xie Yulang in the future.

Qingzhu was still worried, but she knew that once Jiang Li made up his mind, no one could say anything.

I had no choice but to leave the room and go back to the servants' room.

The maids and servants in the mansion lived in a separate place and did not live in the east courtyard.

On the other side, inside Linlang Yuyuan, Xie Yulang was making a scene.

"Master, please eat a little more!"

Since coming back from school, Xie Yulang has been as excited as if he had eaten firecrackers. The food has been changed more than ten times so far, but he still doesn't eat.

Xie Yulang knocked over the food with one hand and kicked the maid.

"Get out, I don't want to eat!"

The maid had no choice but to pack up and quickly leave.

As the night grew darker, Xie Yulang couldn't help but call the maid in.

"Isn't she here yet?"

As he spoke, he looked towards the door, his little face showing great dissatisfaction and grievance.

The maid was stunned for a moment, "Who are you talking about, Master?"

Suddenly she realized something and said, "You mean the young lady? I'll go and invite her right away!"

The person Xie Yulang is closest to is his aunt Xie Yan, and he would look for her whenever he is unhappy.

Xie Yulang was furious and said, "No!"

The name that he had been holding back in his heart suddenly came out, and he said anxiously: "Where is my mother! Why doesn't she come to see me!"

Normally he was angry with Jiang Li, and at night Jiang Li would definitely bring her homemade meals to coax him.

But it’s almost midnight and Jiang Li hasn’t come yet!

Moreover, he listened to Jiang Li and went to school today. The more Xie Yulang thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and he rushed out with red eyes.

"I'm going to find her!"

The maid was shocked. It was strange that Xie Yulang would take the initiative to find Jiang Li and even call Jiang Li mother!

Why did they suddenly become so close?

She instantly became alert and hurriedly stopped Xie Yulang.

"Master, it's very late. The Crown Princess is probably already asleep. You can go and pay your respects to her in person tomorrow morning!"

But Xie Yulang must not be allowed to go find Jiang Li. When the Marquis's wife sent her to Xie Yulang, she instructed that Xie Yulang and the Crown Prince's Consort must not be allowed to get too close.

Xie Yulang said stubbornly: "No! I want to go now!"

The maid said, "Master, please think twice. If you rashly barge into the East Courtyard now, the Crown Prince's Consort might be angry."

Upon hearing that Jiang Li would be angry, Xie Yulang's momentum suddenly wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.

He didn't dare nor wanted to anger Jiang Li again, so Xie Yulang turned to the maid and said, "Then...you, wake me up at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, no, wake me up at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow morning!"

The maid breathed a sigh of relief and agreed immediately.

The Yongning Marquis' Mansion passed peacefully overnight, with only one piece of news quietly reaching Prince Yong's Mansion.

"The gate of Jiang Li's courtyard has been sealed, and I'm afraid the prisoners will be trapped to death."

The next day, at about half past the morning hour, Mrs. Hou had just gotten up and had not yet gone to check on Xie Yan when Nanny Du came over excitedly to reply.

"Madam, I have already followed your instructions and poured molten iron into the gate of the East Courtyard. The four stained glass windows have also been sealed to ensure that no one can enter or leave, and nothing can be thrown in or out! In addition, this old servant has already arranged for the servants of the East Courtyard. The pawnbroker will take them to the pawnbroker at 9:00 p.m."

In other words, Jiang Li now has no way out, and there is no way anyone can save her!

“Excellent!”

The Marquis's wife leaned back in her chair, sipped her tea comfortably, her eyes narrowed, and she looked indescribably proud.

"You dare to challenge me? Humph, you don't know how to live or die. It would be a good thing for her to starve to death!"

If she wasn't worried that something might happen later, and Jiang Li had caused Xie Yan to suffer so much, she would have skinned Jiang Li alive and tortured her!

Madam Du became more flattering, "In no more than three to five days, Madam and Miss will surely get what they want!"

These words touched the Marquis's heart. She smiled brightly, put down the teacup, took out a gold bracelet, and handed it to Madam Du, "Reward!"

As they were talking, a group of people came into the courtyard with a small figure. Before they reached the Marquis's wife, the maid in the courtyard came in with a smile and announced, "Madam, the young master is here!"

Xie Yulang entered the room and knelt down to kowtow to Madam Hou in a proper manner, "Grandson greets grandmother."

The Marquis’s wife hurriedly helped Xie Yulang up, smiling from ear to ear.

"Oh, dear grandson, get up quickly. Grandmother has already told you that you are the most honorable person in our Yongning Marquisate. You don't need to pay homage to anyone in the morning or evening!"

She repeated the same old thing and habitually belittled Jiang Li.

"Don't listen to your mother's lies, and don't go to see her all the time. She has always been dull, short-sighted, hypocritical, and really hateful! She only regards you as a tool to gain a foothold in our mansion!"

In a few days, there will be no need to worry about Jiang Li's influence on Xie Yulang!

But Xie Yulang seemed to have been hit in the sore spot and suddenly turned hostile.

"enough!"

He glared at the Marquis's wife, his eyes blazing with anger, and the sound of resentment seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"How dare you slander my mother like this!"
