Jiang Yuan frowned as he looked at Chunzhi, whose face was pale and who was trembling all over. "Chunzhi, are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you sick?" As he spoke, he raised his hand and placed it on her forehead.

Chunzhi shuddered, shook her head in panic, looked around nervously, closed the gate, pulled Jiang Yuan's sleeve, walked quickly into the room, and closed the door carefully.

With her back against the door, she gasped in fear, "Girl, what happened to you today? You spoke to the master like that and angered him. You will be punished."

Upon hearing that it was because of this, Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this what scared you so much?"

Chunzhi nodded hurriedly and consoled her, "I know that the young lady is unhappy, but she is in good health. The punishment of kneeling in the ancestral hall for ten days is already the limit. If you continue to torture her, the young lady will not be in good health.

It is late autumn now. Huangjue Temple is located in the suburbs of Beijing. The environment is certainly not as good as at home. It would be a disaster if I caught a cold.

Will you go and ask the master for help tomorrow and wait until next spring?"

Jiang Yuan smiled. This silly girl actually thought that this was the reason why she went to pray.

Chunzhi became even more anxious when she saw that her young lady just smiled and said nothing, not taking it seriously at all.

"Miss, life in this mansion is hard, so you'd better be careful and cautious." Chunzhi squatted in front of Jiang Yuan and said softly.

Looking down at Chunzhi's round face, it was completely different from the Chunzhi in my memory who was abused to death by dozens of beggars and tortured beyond recognition.

Thinking about the scene in his memory, the last time he saw Chunzhi, Jiang Yuan's heart was burning with anger.

She had only known these two girls for one day, but the affection they had for each other since childhood was still in her memory. She knew that these two girls were sincere about her, but ended up with such an outcome.

In his heart, he couldn't help but call Jiang Yuan from his previous life a waste.

"I used to be very cautious and respectful in front of my father. I never dared to contradict him, but does my father like me more?"

Harue shook her head.

"Is my father good to me?"

Harue continued to shake her head.

“So, even though I was amiable and served them carefully, I did not gain their love and protection. Instead, they all thought I was weak and could be bullied.

If we continue to keep silent, we will end up dead."

Chunzhi thought about it, her eyes reddened, "Then, girl, what should we do?"

"Don't cry, silly girl. Let's change the way. From now on, we will do what we can and never waste words."

"Ah~" Chunzhi found it hard to accept for a moment. What did her girl mean? Did she want to fight?

She was directly confronting him today because she was sure that Father Jiang would not do anything to her tonight. Tomorrow is the old lady's birthday and it will be a big occasion. Although she is not favored as the eldest daughter, if she does not even show up, it will inevitably cause gossip.

It is better not to be too obvious about favoring a concubine and neglecting his wife, otherwise who knows who will go to the emperor to report him.

Yusheng Pavilion

Jiang Wan was holding the dress she had just made and her new head ornaments and jewelry in front of a bronze mirror.

Sitting behind him was Aunt Qiu, who had a sad look on her face.

Looking through the bronze mirror at her mother's sad face and sighing, Jiang Wan rolled her eyes impatiently and threw the hairpin in her hand back into the box, "Mother, if you want to sigh, go out and sigh. You've ruined my good mood."

Aunt Qiu picked up the hairpin and looked at it again and again with distress, "Child, such a good hairpin is broken, let's see what you will do."

"What should I do? I'll buy more. I'll soon be the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family. I'll have all kinds of hairpins, rings and jewelry. Besides, this is a gift from the prince."

Aunt Qiu sighed, "Even if you are a legitimate daughter, with the family property in the mansion, do you think you can buy whatever you want? You still have to be frugal with your money."

"Mom, could you please stop being so stingy?"

"I'm not being stingy, but you think it's easy to be the head of a household. You're close to the Prince of Jin, so you'll marry into a wealthy family in the future.

If you don't prepare a generous dowry, you will be laughed at by your husband's family."

"Speaking of silver, the old witch has been dead for three months. Have you found the recipe?" Jiang Wan remembered something important and finally put down the things in her hands and spoke seriously to Aunt Qiu.

Aunt Qiu held her forehead with one hand, frowned, and shook her head, "Find an excuse to move Jiang Yuan out of the original yard, and search through everything carefully.

I almost dug three feet deep into the courtyard where they used to live, but I couldn’t find Xiang Fang, let alone Xiang Momo.”

Jiang Wan gritted her teeth, her expression grim, "Prince Jin has said that if I can get the recipe for Yun's incense, I will be his consort.

Since I can't find the incense recipe, I can only use the second method."

Aunt Qiu quickly grabbed Jiang Wan's hand and said, "Don't do anything rash. What will you do if Jiang Yuan enters Prince Jin's mansion? What will you do if that little bitch uses the fragrance recipe as bait to make the prince really fall in love with her?"

“Oh mother, you have been fighting with that bitch of Yun for so many years, how come you don’t understand her at all? She swore that she would never make incense again. She is a stubborn person.

Not only does she not make incense herself, she also says that the Yun family's daughter doesn't make incense either. Jiang Yuan was almost dying of illness two months ago, and she didn't make any money by making incense. It seems she is a stubborn donkey.

If the hard way doesn't work, then try the soft way. I don't believe it. The prince is suave, noble, and gentle. As long as Jiang Yuan is moved and becomes the prince's person, the incense recipe will be easy to get. She will definitely offer it to him obediently. "

"Could Jiang Yuan really have the incense recipe? I've looked through everything."

Jiang Wan sat in front of the dressing table and said firmly, "She is the last heir of the Yun family. Even if she doesn't make incense, she will definitely make it.

The incense recipes cannot be found, perhaps they were destroyed by them, but Jiang Yuan must know those recipes.

As long as she becomes the prince's person, if soft tactics don't work, she will use hard tactics. I don't believe that she can still be a tough guy.

As for her elder brother, she got married, but he still had to stay at home. For the sake of her brother, she had to submit. "

Aunt Qiu was still a little worried, "But, aren't you afraid that she will become the Crown Prince's Consort?"

"Mother, how could I let her marry into the palace openly and legally? If her reputation is ruined, how can she have the face to be the Crown Prince's consort?

The prince and princess can accept a daughter-in-law like her. Since she is the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, it is good enough to give her a concubine. Otherwise, even if it is a concubine, she can only agree. "

"Is this your plan, or is it?"

Jiang Wan changed her gloomy expression and smiled, "Of course it was the prince's idea. Life in the Prince Jin's Mansion is not that easy. He wants to get the Yun family's incense recipe even more."

Aunt Qiu also secretly made up her mind. Since this was the case, she could only lend a helping hand to her daughter.

At the height of the Yun family's glory, they were wealthy enough to rival a country. Although this was only a rumor, by the time Yun Zhixian married Jiang Zhou, the Yun family had already gradually declined.

But Yun's dowry at that time also shocked the world.

It’s just a pity that the Yun family, which was so wealthy, couldn’t produce an official. Even though they were wealthy, they were just businessmen. Without an official position, they could only be manipulated by others.

In the end, only the daughter of the Yun family married Jiang Zhou, a poor student who had just passed the imperial examination. At that time, Yun Zhixian was the last person in the Yun family who could make incense, and the huge Yun family disappeared.

Yun Zhixian followed Jiang Zhou to the capital and lived in seclusion. Few people knew that she was the successor of Yun's incense.
