Just then, she remembered a weakness of the Wen family.

She hasn't actively caused trouble for the Wen family yet, and the thought of it is making me a little excited~~~

"Xiao Tao, take two palace flowers, let's go find Pei Shushu."

Jiang Shuwan ignored Qingxing and Naige, and went directly to the southwest corner with her maid to the house where the fourth branch of the Marquis's mansion lived.

Why is it so cold?

Why didn't you light any charcoal?

"Where is your fourth young lady? Why isn't she in the room?"

As soon as you enter Pei Shushu's room, a chill hits you.

Now that the snow is melting, she has charcoal burning in her house in addition to the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed).

Pei Shushu's room was as cold as an ice cellar.

According to the regulations, Pei Shushu was entitled to two basins of charcoal.

There wasn't a single potted plant lit in her room, and the bedding and furnishings gave the impression that no one had lived there for the past few days.

"Reporting to the young mistress, the fourth mistress is ill."

"These past few days, the Fourth Miss has been taking care of the Fourth Madam during the day and resting in the Fourth Madam's room at night."

"Please wait a moment, young mistress. I will have someone inform the fourth young lady to come back right away."

While the maidservant was replying to Jiang Shuwan, she also told the old woman outside the door to go and inform Pei Shushu.

She still looked flustered.

He seemed flustered, as if he was hiding something.

I don't want Jiang Shuwan to know.

"No need. I, as a junior, didn't even know that my aunt was ill; that's already impolite of me."

"Now that I've come across this, I should go and take a look."

As Jiang Shuwan spoke, she walked towards the Fourth Madam's room. The little maid looked even more flustered, but dared not stop her.

The only thing he could do was give the gatekeeper a meaningful look, signaling her to hurry and deliver the message.

It's obvious, there's something he doesn't want her to know.
