Yu Yuanzheng didn't have much objection to Shangguan Ziqi's treatment of her.

After all, those two maids had served him for so long, and if they were too ruthless, their loyalty to the eldest son would be greatly reduced.

Proper consideration of the master-servant relationship will actually make other servants more loyal.

Everyone wants to follow a loyal and righteous master.

"Madam, this matter involves my second brother's two concubines. How do you think it should be handled?" As the eldest brother, Shangguan Ziqi could not directly deal with his second brother's concubines.

"Actually, this matter started with me because my eldest sister couldn't bear to see me doing well and wanted to ask me to help her get rid of those two concubines.

How could I possibly give her what she wanted? This matter should be left unresolved, and the two concubines should go to ask for benefits from my eldest sister.

But it's not really over. If there's a chance in the future, I can consider putting a few more women around the prince.

"It makes the eldest sister jealous every day, and she has to deal with the women around the prince."

Yu Yuanzheng wasn't really forgiving of grudges, so going directly to Yu Chaoyang to argue was a bad idea.

The best thing to do is to give her some time off when you get the chance.

"As you say, Madam. I will not interfere in matters between you women. If you can't handle it, you can ask me for help. But we have to find the traveling doctor who sold medicine to Ruyue and the other two, and see who else is involved." Shangguan Ziqi thought that it was not such a coincidence.

When he talked about this, his face turned cold.

"Yeah." Yu Yuanzheng agreed.

Shangguan Ziqi arranged secret guards to investigate the matter.

Within two days, the traveling doctor described by Ruyue and the others was found. He really was a traveling doctor, but he never came to the streets of the palace. It was impossible for him to have business here.

Chunlei arrested the man and interrogated him privately, and found out that the itinerant doctor was hired by a woman for ten taels of silver and was waiting near the palace to sell the medicine to two maids.

He did not recognize the two maids, but the woman gave him their portraits, and he wandered around the palace for three days before he finally met them.

When asked what the woman looked like, he could not answer. She was wearing a mask.

When Chunlei told the two masters the information he had obtained, Yu Yuanzheng frowned.

A woman? And two maids?

It should be Yu Chaoyang's grandmother Liu. The portrait must have been painted by Yu Chaoyang.

She was quite diligent in painting, so she had no problem drawing a portrait of two people.

After figuring this out, she had a clear idea in her mind.

"Zi Yue, I asked you to build friendly relationships with the maids in each room in your mansion before. Now it can be put to use. Find someone to encourage the two concubines of the prince.

Let them ask for more benefits from the Crown Prince's Consort, otherwise they will go to the Great Prince and say that it was the Crown Prince's Consort who asked them to instigate Ruyue and the other two to drug the Great Prince."

How could Yu Yuanzheng do nothing?

The Crown Prince had two concubines, one named Jinling and the other Yinling, who were specially chosen by Concubine Luo for her son.

She is both beautiful and lovely.

The two men were still waiting and watching, not daring to look for Yu Chaoyang.

Ruyue, Rushuang and their family were sold out the next day. They were shocked when they found out.

Unexpectedly, the eldest son was so angry that he sold out both of them and even spared their families.

If Ruyue and the other two gave them up, they would be in trouble.

After waiting for two days, nothing happened.

They finally felt relieved.

The two of them secretly met to discuss how to find the Crown Prince's wife and promise her some benefits.

As a result, as soon as they came out from behind a rockery, they heard two maids passing by talking as they walked.

The two immediately hid again.

As a result, the two maids stopped in front of where they were hiding and started chatting.

A: "The eldest young master's wife is really kind. She clearly knows that the two maids of the eldest son were instigated by the two concubines of the prince, but she doesn't intend to cause trouble for the concubines of the prince."

B: "What do you know? This is obviously arranged by the Crown Prince's Consort."

A: "Oh? Can you explain it clearly? Why was it arranged by the Crown Princess?"

B: "How could the prince's concubine instigate the eldest son's maid?

There must be someone behind this, who else could it be other than the Crown Prince's Consort?

I heard that when she was at her mother's house, the Crown Prince's Consort often bullied the Eldest Young Lady. Now that the Eldest Young Lady is living a good life, how could the Crown Prince's Consort be happy?

So I thought that the eldest son would also have a concubine like the crown prince, and it would be best if she could be promoted to concubine directly.

Then the eldest young lady will feel uncomfortable. If the Crown Princess sees that the eldest young lady is unhappy, won't she be happy? "

A: "Oh, I see. But why did the Crown Prince's Consort let two concubines instigate the matter? Didn't she let someone else instigate the matter?"

B: "Isn't this simple? The Crown Prince's Consort must be trying to get rid of the two concubines through the eldest son or the eldest young master's wife.

If Ruyue and the others succeeded, the eldest prince would naturally take them in as his concubines, and the eldest young lady's wife would definitely vent her anger on the prince's two concubines.

If they fail, then the elder brother will be angry. Neither of them can escape anyway."

A: "Then the current eldest young master's wife doesn't bother them so that the two concubines of the prince will think that the matter is over. After that, they can go to the prince's wife to ask for benefits. Am I right?"

B: "That's right. But this matter has nothing to do with us, so don't say anything, lest the princess hears and accuses us of gossiping, and we will be punished."

Person A: "I'm not that stupid. Let's go and get to work."

The two walked away again.

Jinling and Yinling just came out from behind the rockery.

"It turns out that the Crown Prince's Consort wanted to get rid of both of us. I thought she was really so generous and said that if we could handle this matter well, she would make us concubines." Jin Ling said gritting her teeth.

"We are still too naive." Yinling was very calm.

"Then should we go to the Crown Prince's wife and talk to her about my aunt's matter as we discussed just now?" After listening to what the two maids said, Jin Ling felt that this matter was not that easy.

"Now everyone knows about the Crown Prince's wife's intentions, how can we succeed?" Yin Ling gave Jin Ling a foolish look.

"What should we do then?" Jinling's brain is not as good as Yinling's.

"You should go talk to the prince directly and explain the whole thing clearly.

If the Crown Prince cannot suppress the Crown Princess, then we will find the Princess.

How could the princess let her own son suffer? She will definitely help us. Although the prince is not the princess's biological son, she is the mistress of the house and the legitimate mother of the prince, so she will definitely take care of it." Yinling said the solution.

"Doesn't the princess know about this?"

"Whether the princess knows or not depends on whether the eldest young master's wife and the eldest son are willing to let her know."

"Why don't we go directly to the Crown Prince's wife and use this matter as a threat?" Jin Ling was puzzled.

"Stupid, whether a woman has status in the backyard depends on whether the man loves her or not. If we have the support of the prince, the prince's wife won't dare to do anything to us.

If we use this to threaten the Crown Prince's wife, and she mentions us as her aunt, we will be completely controlled by her in the future, and we won't know how we will die." Yin Ling felt a little disappointed.

That night, Shangguan Zishu arrived at the mansion, but was stopped by two maids on the way and pulled into the study.
