When Jiang Fenghua heard the rumors outside, there was not much emotion on her face. Her eyes were deep and her brows were slightly wrinkled, but she quickly regained her composure and looked expressionless.

Lian Ye said anxiously, "Princess, why didn't you react? What are people saying about the eldest young master? Those people are really good at making things up."

"Don't bother the princess. She will make the right decision." Hongxiu quietly ground the ink for her. Lianye stopped making any more noise and stood aside obediently.

Jiang Fenghua likes to practice calligraphy. When she practices calligraphy, she can calm down and think. At this time, her head is full of thoughts. Because she has experienced too much, she habitually thinks more about benefits in all things. Seeking money is considered a benefit, and destroying someone's reputation is also related to benefits. The only key is who will benefit and who will lose in the end.

At first glance, it sounds like a love affair between a couple of men and women, but if you think about it more deeply, it is not that simple.

She put down the last stroke of the pen, placed the Wolf Howl Pen on the pen pillow, and said calmly, "It's not groundless. At least Sang Yu Pianpian did live in the Jiang Mansion, and Big Brother and Li Cheng did have a fight. Zhang Yumo and Li Cheng were engaged, but now they have broken off the engagement. All of these things happened, right? They were just taken advantage of by others, who used the opportunity to distort the truth. Moreover, these rumors were spread after the Princess of Chaoxi Country left Shengjing City. Putting all these together, this matter is not a rumor, but a conspiracy."

Someone is hiding behind the scenes and weaving a big net, trying to drag the Jiang and Zhang families into the water.

Although Jiang Jinyan framed Li Cheng, the Zhang family finally succeeded in breaking off the engagement with the Li family.

When Jiang Jinyan did this, he just wanted to let people know that Li Cheng had a bad character. He did not take the initiative to let the Zhang family break off the engagement with the Li family. He had already thought about breaking up the marriage between the Zhang family and the Li family and did not want to get involved in unnecessary entanglements. However, now rumors about Jiang Jinyan and Zhang Yumo are spreading.

This wasn't something that had been planned for a long time.

Isn't it obvious that there are people around them who know Sang Yu Pianpian's identity, who know that Zhang Yumo and Jiang Jinyan are involved, and who want to attack the Jiang family and her, the Princess Heng?

She thought Su Tingwan didn't have this brain, otherwise she wouldn't have been sent to Jingci Temple to recuperate.

Jiang Fenghua thought carefully about all the people around her. It was impossible for Old Madam Su and Yun Fang to come up with such a method of cutting off the source of the problem.

They only know how to resort to vicious and despicable means to destroy others' innocence.

She thought of another person who was involved with Su Tingwan in her mind—Ji Chen.

She and Ji Chen had never met each other twice. If her experience in her previous life had not been so terrifying, she would never have connected him to Ji Chen.

She and Ji Chen had no vested interests in this matter. Jiang Fenghua sneered and said, "Since you dare to touch my Jiang family, please accept the wrath of this princess!"

Ji Chen and Xie Shang call each other brothers, simply because he is attracted by Xie Shang's status as a prince. In his previous life, Xie Shang did trust Ji Chen very much. After becoming emperor, he also made Ji Chen a king of a different surname, entrusted him with important tasks, and let him enjoy supreme wealth and glory.

In this life, she wants to keep Ji Chen away from wealth and glory and drive him back to his paradise.

He may have underestimated her ability to persuade others with his pillow.

Jiang Fenghua had a smile on her lips, as if she had never whispered anything to Xie Shang.

She began to look forward to her performance, but given Xie Shang's trust in Ji Chen, this might be difficult. She didn't know who Xie Shang would prefer between his wife and his friend.

Su Tingwan is the woman that Xie Shang likes, but Ji Chen often goes out with her. Not only is Xie Shang not jealous, he even feels as if Su Tingwan is being entrusted to his care.

Given Xie Shang's jealous temper, this is very unreasonable.

Jiang Fenghua asked Lian Ye to dress her up carefully. Looking at her pure and lovely appearance in the mirror, she was almost mesmerized by her own appearance.

Her face was cleverly powdered and her makeup was not ostentatious, making her look like a shy flower bud about to bloom, attracting attention.

Jiang Fenghua walked to the front yard and sat comfortably on the armchair, with maids standing on her left and right, quiet and well-behaved.

Butler Cheng presented the account books of the palace one by one, "This month's income is good. The suggestions made by the princess last month are indeed very practical. This has increased the income by one more level."

Jiang Fenghua looked at each book carefully. In the golden sunlight, she seemed to be surrounded by a halo, which was fascinating.

She said in a deep voice, "It is also because everyone cooperates with this princess. Butler Cheng will arrange it. Everyone's bonus will be doubled this month."

Butler Cheng was surprised. "The princess raised their wages last month and gave them extra bonuses. This month, it's doubled again. I'm afraid that if we don't have this money next month, everyone will think it will be bad for the management of the palace. We should be more cautious when distributing it."

"Butler Cheng thinks this way because of our status. Even if there is no bonus, everyone will be afraid of the palace and do things. But this princess does not want them to be afraid, but to submit and even admire. Only with rewards will there be motivation." She added, "Take from the people and use it for the people. This is what they deserve. Without rewards, no one will work actively."

Butler Cheng was stunned for a moment. After hearing what the princess said, he admired her even more. The status of the royal palace was already high, and there had never been such a people-friendly approach.

Since the princess became the housekeeper, everyone has been smiling more, working more proactively, and completing tasks at a high rate, so the palace has earned more income.

Butler Cheng said, "I will go and make a list right away. Please ask the princess to distribute it uniformly. We should let them all remember who gave them the gift."

"Go ahead. If Steward Cheng needs me to do anything, just send someone to find me." Jiang Fenghua smiled slightly, with a natural clarity between his brows and his eyes were bright and radiant.

She has a slim and graceful figure, and her every move exudes nobility and dignity. What a stunning beauty.

After dealing with the accounts, the two maids accompanied her to the backyard.

The courtyard was deep and dark, with bright light and shadow. A pair of sharp eyes like a wolf or a tiger seemed to be fixed on Jiang Fenghua. He sighed at King Heng's good fortune. Su Tingwan's beauty was far inferior to Jiang Fenghua. No wonder he changed his heart so easily.

Ji Chen was preparing to take part in the next year's spring examination. He was staying at the Prince Heng's mansion. He was sitting on the long corridor with a book in his hand, reading aloud, "The orioles are singing on the island in the river. The fair lady is the ideal match for the gentleman..."

Jiang Fenghua just wanted to sneer in her heart. She straightened her back and walked forward slowly. She seemed not to hear Ji Chen's reading. Read louder, it would be better to let Xie Shang also hear what his good brother is doing in the palace.

Hongxiu and Lianye had also been reading since childhood, and knew that "Guanju" was a poem by a man proposing to a woman. They did not expect that this Master Ji was so coquettish and recited this poem in public.

They didn't know Jiang Fenghua's intention, so they supported Jiang Fenghua and quickened their pace, just wanting to leave here.

At this time, Yun Fang suddenly walked up to Ji Chen holding a pile of clothes and said, "Master Ji, your clothes have been washed. Please take them back by yourself!"
