Tong had no choice but to send someone to call Jiang Ying with a gloomy face.

I feel so depressed.

She also didn't know that Old Madam Jiang actually didn't know that Jiang Ying was Yan Zhuo's mistress, and everyone in the Duke's Mansion misunderstood that Jiang Ying and Qi Ren were a couple!

On this side, Jiang Ying continued to make trouble in Tong's yard.

She sprinkled the powder that caused ants and earthworms to grow on the flower beds and other places with soil. Two old women with dead faces followed her, staring at her but not daring to interfere.

This person's identity is very sensitive, the kind that feels both low and high. If nothing happens, it's fine, but if something goes wrong, none of their ten heads can bear the responsibility.

Suddenly, Bai Zhi came over and called her to the front yard. Jiang Ying raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Is that so? But didn't the princess want to lock me up in the woodshed to await my punishment? If I leave like this, it would be considered disrespectful to the princess. What if my crime is compounded?"

Bai Zhi, “…”

You are a stubborn person!

Finally, after Bai Zhi said some nice things and repeatedly emphasized that the princess was just joking, Jiang Ying took the child and walked slowly, "Okay, this shabby yard is boring anyway."

Bai Zhi, “…”

This is a famous Feng Shui site in the palace. It was once divined by a Feng Shui master. The princess begged the prince for a long time before he allowed it to be used as the main courtyard.

Because the area is not large, the prince's study and tea room can only be expanded from the side. She actually said that this is a broken yard?

What Baizhi didn't know was that no matter how good Jiaofangyuan was before, it would be useless and would soon become a place that everyone hated.

When Jiang Ying saw Yan Zhuo in the flower hall, she pretended not to know him. Just as she was about to bow while holding the child, Old Madam Jiang rushed over and said, "Hey, little girl Jiang, we are all family. No more so many formalities in the future!"

Jiang Ying, “!!!”

Yan Zhuo, "???"

Tong's eyes widened. This... this is a family? Why is Mrs. Jiang so kind to her granddaughter's rival?

Just because Jiang Ying knows medicine and has cured her illness?

This little girl is so lucky!

The reason why Tong asked Jiang Ying to come was that she wanted to give her a warning as a mother-in-law. Now, not only did her warning fail, but she was also furious.

The most annoying thing was that she couldn't lose her temper at all in front of Old Madam Jiang.

Old Madam Jiang held Jiang Ying's hand, her eyes doting and loving. "Child, have you cured the princess? I have something important to tell you. If you're well, can we find a quiet place to talk?"

Tong: Why does this damn old woman insist on saying that she is sick? Isn’t it annoying, huh?

Jiang Ying quickly understood the old lady's meaning and couldn't help laughing. "The princess is fine. It's probably because the prince is not at home and life is too lonely."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have called her over to cause trouble!

Years ago, snowstorms hit several states. After the imperial court allocated funds for disaster relief, it was afraid that local officials would embezzle and accept bribes to enrich themselves, so it sent loyal officials to inspect various places on behalf of the emperor.

It's been a while since I left.

Upon hearing this, Tong suddenly clenched her fingertips that were resting on the armrest.

Jiang Ying thought that in a few days, the palace would be full of ants, earthworms, cockroaches and the like to accompany Tong Shi and relieve her loneliness and boredom. He thought that the scene would be very beautiful.

Yan Zhuo lowered his head to drink tea, trying not to laugh out loud.

The wild girl's claws are really sharp!

Old Madam Jiang was eager to recognize her relatives, so she apologized to Tong and then took Jiang Ying out.

Tong Shi was unwilling to give up and still wanted to make Jiang Ying unhappy, so she took a deep breath and looked at Yan Zhuo, "Prince, it's only a little over a month away from the sixth day of April. Your wedding gifts are almost ready at home, except for a few odds and ends. Since it's a rare opportunity for you to come here today, why don't you check the list of gifts yourself?"

She smiled, her delicate makeup dazzling. "It just so happens that Old Madam Jiang is here too. If you have any specific requests, we can discuss it together."

Oh! You little stinky girl, what's the point of being arrogant now because of your child? When the principal wife comes into the house, how can a lowly concubine still make trouble?

Besides, they were discussing the arrangements for marrying a wife, and if she listened and understood her own supporting role, it would be needless to say how painful it would be.

After Tong finished speaking, she vowed to wait and see Jiang Ying cry.

Unexpectedly, the old lady didn't even pause, and continued to pull Jiang Ying along quickly. "No need to look at it anymore. Princess, please make your own decision. I have no objection."

The one she was going to marry was Jiang Yilin's fake granddaughter, not her precious little Jiang girl, so why should she care?

If her precious granddaughter had not yet married and Yan Zhuo was a good boy worthy of entrusting her life to, she might consider snatching this marriage for her granddaughter.

Now, love whoever you want!

As soon as Madam Jiang took Jiang Ying away, Yan Zhuo stood up and said, "This prince has no objection. Mother, just follow the rules."

Then he followed slowly.

Tong was left sitting at the top in a daze, her face gradually becoming more and more distorted.

"How can this be? None of these people, big or small, take this princess seriously!"

Tong was so angry that she couldn't help but overturn the teacup on the table.

Bai Zhi said distressedly, "Your Majesty, you worry too much. The Prince has never been like this. He has been the same for twenty years, not just today. As for Madam Jiang, perhaps she doesn't have much longer to live, so she speaks and acts more arbitrarily."

The implication is that one is a stinky stone in the toilet and the other is an old man who is about to die. Why bother with them?

After Tong understood, she felt a little better.

After a while, he looked up and asked Bai Zhi, "Where's Aunt Zhao? Has she recovered?"

"I've already asked the maid to call a doctor. Madam Zhao was just frightened. She'll be fine after drinking some tranquilizing soup."

Speaking of this, Tong's temples began to ache again, "This Zhao Ma is really something, she has been following this princess for so many years, and she can still be scared by such a childish trick?

"I think she's old now, and she's not as useful as she was when she was younger!"

Baizhi waved her hand and asked the little girls to quickly clean up the filth on the ground.

She stepped forward and massaged Tong's head. "Xiangling...after all, Madam Zhao saw her die with her own eyes. The way she died was really...so, Princess, don't blame Madam Zhao. Fortunately, she was just frightened. Her brain is still good. After a while of recuperation, she will be a good helper to the Queen again."

Tong's headache was relieved a lot and her temper was not as bad as before.

She nodded slightly, adjusted her breathing and stopped talking.

I was just wondering in my heart, how did that rascal mistress know about Xiangling?

…

When Yan Zhuo stepped out of the mansion, he happened to see Old Madam Jiang getting on the carriage, and Jiang Ying also got on a little later, holding the child.

It would have been fine if the two of them had treated him as invisible, but they actually lifted the curtain and enthusiastically greeted his guard Qi Ren, "Qi boy, come here."
