"Are you telling the truth?"

Xichun nodded. "I dare not tell a lie. As soon as Madam left, Madam Chen became arrogant and looked down upon the Second Young Miss. The Second Young Miss was so angry that she started crying and wanted to tell Madam. Only then did Madam Chen realize how to be afraid."

"This idiot, a useless piece of shit who can't do anything good but only causes trouble, let her get better and then come see me."

Zhao Yaru was furious. She originally thought that Mother Chen was an old lady and could better monitor Xu Wanyan.

Now that I have offended Xu Wanyan when I get there, what use will the information she brings be in the future?

"Go back and keep a close eye on her. I won't treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, Madam. I obey your command!"

Although Zhao Yaru was angry, at least she still had Xichun. After a while, she finally calmed down.

Xichun looked at Zhao Yaru and showed no intention of leaving.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Zhao Yaru was a little impatient.

Xichun took out a list from her sleeve and handed it to Zhao Yaru.

"What is this?"

Facing Zhao Yaru's disgust, Xichun quickly knelt down and said, "Madam, this is what the second young lady is missing. She, she said you agreed to let the maid come over."

"Yes, if I can't get it back, then... then don't go back."

Zhao Yaru looked at Xichun, whose head was almost bowed to the ground, and felt annoyed, but had no place to vent her anger.

"Go, go get it from Mother Gu."

Zhao Yaru threw the paper at Xichun's head.

Xichun was a little surprised. Originally, she was worried that the lady would find an excuse not to give it to her.

I didn't expect it to be taken out so easily.

"Thank you, ma'am. I'll get it right away."

"Mom, does that dead girl have someone behind her who is giving her advice?"

As soon as Xichun left, Xu Wanqing walked in.

Zhao Yaru's face was gloomy. "It's hard to say. Xichun hasn't noticed anything yet. However, a girl who has been timid in the backyard for more than ten years suddenly becomes like this. I have to suspect that there is someone behind the scenes."

The fact that she had not disciplined Xu Wanyan for more than ten years did not mean that she had forgotten the existence of this girl. Suddenly, the change was so great that she had to doubt it.

"Then... who could it be?"

Xu Wanqing's eyes were red. She already had someone in mind, but she didn't dare say it out loud, fearing that it was true.

Zhao Yaru looked at her daughter and understood her thoughts. She quickly scolded her, "What are you thinking about all day? Your father loves you the most."

"But, about the jade pot..."

"I haven't investigated the Jade Pot matter yet, so don't overthink it. Besides, I've arranged for people in Feiyun Garden. If there really is someone behind this, I will definitely find them out."

Only then did Xu Wanqing nod, "Mother, is she willing to marry Prince Chen?"

Zhao Yaru's face turned stern, and she cursed with disdain: "Letting her marry Prince Chen is too high for her. She should have married that low-class person."

"Mother, be careful with your words."

"Hmph! If it weren't for you, mother wouldn't have let her marry into the palace. We just hope that Prince Chen is as murderous as the rumors say, and will kill her directly to fulfill our wish."

Xu Wanqing nodded, her expression looking much better. "Mom, should I spend more time with her?"

Zhao Yaru pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "You can go out and give her some nice gifts. Who knows, she might be willing to marry you."

"Okay, then my daughter will hang out with her more often."

Looking at her daughter happily leaving, Zhao Yaru wanted to strangle Xu Wanyan to death.

Unfortunately, she can't yet.

Feiyun Garden

Xu Wanyan watched as Mother Gu and Xichun walked in, each holding a box.

"Second Miss, Madam has prepared everything you want."

After all, Madam Gu was much more experienced than Madam Chen. She knew that the Madam hated the Second Miss, but she still spoke to her with a smile.

"Mother Gu, please thank my mother for me."

Xu Wanyan's eyebrows were curved, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"Second Miss, Madam loves you, and she treats the eldest Miss just the same."

Xu Wanyan suppressed her smile and pretended to be moved as she replied, "I know my mother has always been good to me. From now on, I will definitely get closer to her and my sister."

"Oh, that's right."

As she spoke, she opened the two brocade boxes.

"Second Miss, please take a look."

Xu Wanyan shook her head. "My mother only gave me the best things, so I don't need to look at them carefully."

"That's fine. I'll go back and report to Madam."

Xu Wanyan nodded and said with a guilty look on her face: "I should have given Mom some hard work compensation, but, you know, I... I..."

"No, no, no, how can this old slave take the young lady's hard work fee? This old slave is a servant of the Xu family. It's my duty to help the master."

"But I still feel uneasy. That day, at the Shen family, the master of the Shen family gave rewards to the servants."

This sentence made Mother Gu feel a little uncomfortable. The lady would give her some reward money, but it was only a little bit and she really couldn't give it away.

Think about herself. She has been with the Madam for so many years, and she has been in charge of all matters, big and small. Yet, the Madam is still so stingy with her.

Xu Wanyan stared at Mother Gu and saw a flash of disappointment in her eyes.

"Mother Gu, when my mother gives me my monthly allowance, I will definitely give you some."

"No, no, you keep it for yourself when the lady gives it to you, and the young ladies should also keep their own pocket money."

Mother Gu no longer has the same persistence as before. In the past, she didn't pay much attention to the second young lady.

Now it seems that the second young lady is a likable child.

"Thank you, Mama Gu, for reminding me. I know what's going on."
