"These are from His Highness. Just put them up if you think they're useful. There's no need to be stingy." Yan Nangui himself didn't bother to examine the contents closely.

I just tipped everyone.

Things should be done one at a time.

Now it's time to cause some trouble for our enemies.

"Chanyi, do you know Dujuan, who works for Old Madam Meng?"

Chanyi nodded: "This servant knows them. Dujuan and...and Xique served the old lady at the same time. Later..."

She couldn't continue, and later, the magpie went with the young master.

“Yes. Dujuan’s family has an older brother and sister-in-law, right? I remember, her brother is greedy, and her sister-in-law isn’t a good person either,” Yan Nangui said.

"Yes, she is often exploited. She's not young anymore, but her family doesn't try to find a way out for her at all. Once, her brother complained that she didn't give him enough money and beat her badly. When the old lady saw her come back with injuries, she didn't ask any questions, but just complained that she was ugly," Chanyi said.

"Find Granny Liu and have her pass on a message to Dujuan. Tell her that if she does a few things for me, I will help her get her freedom and give her money to break free on her own."

"Yes, but will Dujuan listen? What if she tells the old lady?" Chanyi hesitated.

"She wouldn't dare. How could I, a concubine of the Crown Prince, be unable to intimidate a mere maid?" Before leaving, she dealt with Li and Liu for three reasons: first, to vent her anger; second, as part of her plan; and third, to intimidate others.

On that day, she was just a person about to get a divorce, yet she still managed to deal with people with an iron fist.

Now she is the Crown Prince's Consort. Moreover, when she dealt with those forty-odd people at Shuiyun Manor, she showed no mercy whatsoever.

Whether it was Du Juan or anyone else, no one dared to act forcefully. Besides, she knew that Du Juan was someone who wanted freedom but had no way to achieve it.

Doesn't she herself see this as an opportunity?

“Yes, then this servant will go to the estate tomorrow,” Chanyi said.

"Just say it's a message to my aunt. Although it doesn't say that people in the backyard can't send their own people out, it's still a formality, so that others won't accuse us of something," Yan Nangui said.

Cicada Robe agreed.

The news spread the next day: Liu Mama was Yan Nangui's mother's maid at the manor, and later married the man in charge of the manor.

Only the original inhabitants of Shuiyun Manor are trustworthy. Yan Nangui had specifically asked her aunt to screen the people there, and several unreliable ones were sent away.

"That's easy to handle. Does the young lady have anything else to say?"

"The young lady said she hopes the Meng family and the Yan family can still form a marriage alliance," Chanyi said.

Granny Liu was taken aback: "Why is that? The young lady finally managed to get out..."

“Granny, the young lady has jumped out. She doesn’t have any close sisters. What difference does it make who jumps in next?” Chanyi said.

"But what good will it do for the young lady if the Meng family relies on the Yan family's power?" Granny Liu asked, puzzled.

"The girl didn't say, but I think... firstly, it's because the Eldest Princess wants to marry the Seventh Prince. The Yan family's third daughter is of marriageable age. Secondly, she probably wants to tie the Meng family to the Eldest Princess."

“But the Yan family doesn’t just have these few girls; there’s another one in the second branch,” said Granny Liu. “What will the Princess and the Old Madam do if they want to push that one forward?”

"Since you've made this arrangement, Miss, you must have another way. Just follow my instructions, Granny," Chanyi said with a smile.

Granny Liu sighed, "Alright, you all must take good care of the young lady in the manor, she's pitiful..."

Chanyi agreed, thinking that she had been pitiful and foolish in the past. Now she hoped that Liangyuan would never change, and that would be it.

She will do her best.

Of course, there are other plans for the geese to return south.

She sent Yuanhua to the Yan family to deliver something to the old lady. After all, she had entered the mansion, so sending someone to see her grandmother was nothing unusual.

As for whether it's truly out of filial piety or something else, who knows?

However, Yuanhua only conveyed a message: the Seventh and Eighth Princes would be selecting consorts next year. Consort Zhou had already pleaded with His Majesty to remove any daughters with too much power, to avoid suspicion. She only desired daughters from ordinary civil officials. They didn't need to be exceptionally outstanding, just well-educated and reasonable.

These words were naturally meant for Yan Nangui's second aunt, Zou.

Her husband was a civil servant.

If this is true, it means that the second branch of the family has a better chance. And the two princes can't both fail to win.

But the eldest princess's two daughters might not have a chance.

It's easy to imagine that since the eldest daughter, Yan Nan, has already entered the Crown Prince's residence, it wouldn't be easy for her two younger sisters to enter the princes' residences as well.

Because of this, the eldest princess had long hated Yan Nangui.

Although she could ask His Majesty to stop Yan Nan from entering the Crown Prince's residence, she dared not openly say that she wanted to marry her daughter to any of her nephews.

Her Majesty is still young, she dared not say that.

Not saying it doesn't mean I don't want to do it.

After hearing these words, Madam Zou naturally understood the situation, and it was impossible for her not to take it to heart.

Meanwhile, in the Meng family, it's not convenient for Master Meng to return now.

The person couldn't come back, but someone was sent back to deliver him, and he gave Meng Junxian a severe scolding.

He wasn't feeling sorry for Yan Nangui, he just thought his eldest son was incompetent and couldn't handle things.

His marriage to the princess was for protection, and he was promoted smoothly from a local position.

However, he also sent a lot of money to the eldest princess.

Now that the kinship has been severed, and that Yan Nan has even been allowed to enter the Crown Prince's residence, one can only imagine how much she hates the Meng family. Although the Crown Prince's position is unstable, he is, after all, the heir apparent.

If they really target the Meng family, the Meng family will only have death to live on.

But now the die is cast, and Yan Nangui acted too quickly. Even if the Meng family wanted to back out or do something else, it was too late.

Who would have thought that she would get the Empress to issue an edict the very next day? What's the use of finding out that Lady Lan has entered the palace now?

The Meng family dares not say a bad word about Yan Nangui to outsiders, for to do so would be to oppose the Empress and the Crown Prince.

The letter has been retrieved, but who knows what might be inside? How can we keep Master Meng from getting angry and scolding us?

Meng Junxian is now covered in bumps. In the backyard, Li Shi is still ill; this time she almost died. She's alive now, but her body is practically ruined.

My knees hurt when I stand for long periods of time, and they also hurt frequently when I lie down.

She still dreams of her cousin making her his official wife, but unfortunately, the Meng family seems to be doing well now, but in reality, they are in deep trouble.

Sometimes you don't have to do anything; if you offend those in power, you'll face endless trouble.

Even though the princes all coveted the position of crown prince, they still had to show respect to him on the surface.

At this point, the fact that Meng Junxian even thought to glance at Li Shi was a testament to the depth of his love for her.

How can they even think about promoting someone to the official position?

The old lady also looked worried and sighed repeatedly.

When Du Juan was serving her, she gently comforted her, "Madam, please don't do this. Your health is the most important thing. In my opinion, there is a way, but it's a bit difficult."
