When they returned, Jiang Jiuniang deliberately placed the pile of medicine in front of Granny Pang and said sarcastically, "Granny, you've been serving the Peng family for many years, haven't you?"

Granny Pang couldn't figure out what she meant, so she lowered her head and said yes.

"That's really strange. You've watched Yuanyuan grow up. I've only been gone for a few days. How could you take such good care of her?"

As she spoke, she patted the pile of medicine in front of her and continued, "Does the old lady know that Yuanyuan has been depressed these past few days, unable to eat or sleep, and has been imprisoned in this courtyard by you all, unable to go out for a breath of fresh air? How can the baby in her womb be safe if this continues?"

"This is General Qin's first child. If anything goes wrong because of this, can any of you bear the responsibility?"

These words were too harsh; Granny Pang couldn't take them, and her knees buckled, causing her to kneel down.

The others also knelt down, but they looked somewhat resentful.

They were all following Madam's instructions to take care of Miss, all for her own good. How did things turn out this way with Madam Lu?

"Madam, you misunderstand. My wife feels that this border city is not safe and is worried about my daughter's safety, so she asked me to keep a close eye on her. She would never dare to imprison her!"

Granny Pang directly brought up Madam Peng, since Madam Peng had powerful backing her up and wasn't afraid at all.

Jiang Jiuniang smiled casually: "Does that mean Aunt Peng sent you all the way to the border just to torment Yuanyuan and then take the opportunity to abort the child in her belly? No way, how could Aunt Peng be that kind of person!"

"No, no, that's not how it is!"

Granny Pang finally started to get scared. She was completely bewildered by Jiang Jiuniang's words. She never expected her to be so eloquent.

If she says it was arranged by the madam, then the madam is trying to harm the girl. But if she says it wasn't the madam's doing, then she'll be in trouble.

I knew Jiang Jiuniang was difficult to deal with before, but I didn't expect her to be this difficult. And this has nothing to do with her, yet she's meddling in other people's business.

"So what exactly happened? I'm asking you, how exactly did you take care of Yuanyuan when she had health problems!"

Despite the freezing weather, Granny Pang felt that her back was soaked with sweat.

She kowtowed repeatedly, apologizing to Peng Yuan: "Miss, it's all because I didn't take good care of you and made you suffer. But I really didn't do anything wrong. Please forgive me, Miss, for the sake of how many years I've served Madam!"

Peng Yuan didn't speak. Jiang Jiuniang handed a pile of medicine to Chunhua and Chuncao and instructed, "Go and brew medicine for your girls. Boil three bowls of water down to one bowl, and simmer it over low heat."

Chunhua and Chunyuan were originally kneeling on the ground, but when she was called, they hurriedly got up to do it without even looking at Pang Mama's attitude.

Peng Yuan then said, "Of course I know that you meant well, Granny. I'm not angry. Get up."

Granny Pang was instantly smug. She thought they were going to do something to her, but it turned out to be all bark and no bite and the matter was dropped.

Fifth Sister is indeed someone she watched grow up; she is gentle and kind, and won't do anything to her.

Just as she stood up happily, she heard Peng Yuan say, "The reason you came all this way is to ask me to take the Su sisters in. I've agreed. You can pack your things and go back in a bit. I have so many people to serve me here. You can go back and report to Mother."

When she said this, Peng Yuan was calm and expressionless, completely different from when she was sulking earlier.

Granny Pang was first startled, then overjoyed. The two maids kneeling further away behind her exchanged a glance, their faces beaming with happiness.

"Oh my, my good girl! You've finally figured it out! A man can't be without women serving him. The general works so hard on the battlefield, you should be more understanding. The Yalan and Yamei sisters were personally trained by the madam, they're so obedient. Just order them around, they wouldn't dare compete with you for favor!"

Jiang Jiuniang watched from the side. At this moment, Granny Pang's expression was just like that of a madam in a brothel, with a lewd smile that she couldn't stop.

It seems that his attempt to plant a seed by the Empress's side failed, but he finally succeeded with Peng Yuan, which is quite unsettling.

"However, this old servant is not in a hurry to go back. Madam's intention is for this old servant to stay here and take care of the young lady until she gives birth. Pregnancy is difficult, and she must not suffer from the bumpy ride on the way!"

She then said that she wouldn't go back, thinking that Peng Yuan probably wouldn't refuse.

Peng Yuan ignored it completely, paying no attention to it and ignoring Granny Pang. She simply said to the two sisters, "You two, come forward."

The two sisters hurriedly knelt at Peng Yuan's feet, thinking that Peng Yuan wanted them to serve her tea. They believed that if they served tea, they would become General Qin's concubines and rise to prominence.

Just as she was feeling happy, Peng Yuan asked, "You were sent by my mother to serve me, so I will naturally not mistreat you. In the future, when I am pregnant and it will be inconvenient for me, you will have to do many things for me."

Hearing this, the two sisters were even happier. This meant that since it was inconvenient for her to serve Qin Jian, the two sisters could serve him instead!

"yes……"

Just as the two sisters were about to agree, Peng Yuan said, "Now that I'm going to partner with Sister Jiu Niang in business, I can't go because I'm pregnant. Sister Jiu Niang has been doing all the work for me all this time. From now on, you will follow Sister Jiu Niang and take over my work. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you don't do well, I don't keep idle people here."

Upon hearing this, only Jiang Jiuniang laughed the most happily; everyone else was dumbfounded.

What is all this?!

The two sisters were there to help her serve men, but she wanted people to run around doing business for her.

"Miss, this..."

Granny Pang immediately realized she had been tricked and wanted to explain herself.

"What, does Granny think there's a problem? My eldest sister is also involved in that business. I used to be able to help out with Sister Jiu Niang, but now I can only watch Sister Jiu Niang work alone. My eldest sister and I are both involved in the business, how can we let Sister Jiu Niang do it all by herself? It's a good thing that Granny sent two people to replace my eldest sister and me. I should thank Granny."

Granny Pang turned pale, convinced that Jiang Jiuniang had corrupted her young lady. She had never been like this before; everything had changed since Jiang Jiuniang returned.

Unfortunately, all the girls in the family liked to hang out with this woman, so she had to find an opportunity to talk to her mistress and warn the girls to stay away from her.

"Why is Granny Pang suddenly glaring at me? Who is I, and who is you? How dare you glare at me? That's quite amusing. Li Hu!"

She called out, and Li Hu came in instantly. She ordered, "That old hag dares to glare at me. Go and gouge out her dead fish eyes. They're just annoying people anyway."

"yes!"

Without saying a word, Li Hu drew his dagger and was about to step forward.

I've been sick these past two days and used up all my saved-up chapters, so updates will be slower today. Please be patient, ladies!
