Not long after the incident, Jiang Ruohua guessed that this was staged by Aunt Yuan. As they had agreed, Jiang Ruohua would keep her and her child safe, and she would help Jiang Ruohua attract the attention of the Third Lady. What could attract the Third Lady's attention more than a child?
Aunt Yuan did this cleverly, and she really put a lot of thought into it. She not only kept herself safe for a long time, but also fulfilled her agreement with herself. In order to attract attention, she also scooped up Aunt Ying, the new favorite. Third Master Jiang would spend more time with her, and blow the pillow wind. Wouldn't he be proud for a long time?
"By the way, it just so happens that the people I asked your parents to choose before can choose two suitable ones to replace Xiaoju and Xiaoxiang. The medicine is made by our own people, so there is no need to worry about mistakes in the future."
Yinqiu nodded: "Don't worry, my father has specially inquired about them in his spare time. Some of them are children of the Duke's old subordinates, or they have leverage over them. Although there are not many people, they will not betray you."
Jiang Ruohua nodded. After looking for Grandpa Gao once, although she never mentioned it, Grandpa Gao should have contacted people for her. When she bought servants a few days ago, most of them should have been selected. She was really grateful in her heart, and she must take the time to thank them.
In this way, plus the servants with leverage over them, although there are not many people, there are finally more manpower to use, which is one step closer to eliminating the troubles in the third room!
But in the same way, to fulfill the promise she made to Aunt Yuan, she still needs someone.
Pursing her lips, she was not in a hurry about this matter. After all, Aunt Yuan would not give birth until early winter. Jiang Ruohua gently pinched her chin with one hand. The age difference between the daughters of the third room was not big, and Jiang Ruoqi was not far from engagement age.
Speaking of the right family, she closed her eyes and thought about it. There were countless powerful people in the capital, but there were very few who could look up to Jiang Ruoqi's background, and who had a good family background or official position, as well as good character.
But it was not completely hopeless. There were several opportunities to take Jiang Ruoqi to try. Whether she could get a good marriage still depended on Jiang Ruoqi herself.
Even if there was no perfect one, at least she could spend some effort to keep Jiang Ruoqi away from the husband of her dreams.
Thinking in this way, the marriages of the third concubines' daughters in the dream almost all became tools to pave the way for Jiang Ruoting. In order to curry favor with the king and to make Jiang Ruoting the queen of King Ying, the husbands of the third concubines' daughters were really miserable. Some were married to colleagues of the same age as Jiang Sanye as second wives, some were married to playboys with seven or eight men at home and a dozen outside, and some were married to scumbags who seemed to be handsome but were drunkards and beat their wives behind his back.
The most miserable thing for Jiang Ruohua was her fourth sister Jiang Ruoyan, who married a sickly man from a powerful family and became a widow the next day. Her in-laws thought that she had brought bad luck to her husband instead of happiness, so they never treated her well. Within a month, she was tortured to death and committed suicide by jumping into a well. As a result, she was not even allowed to enter the ancestral tomb, and she died without a peaceful rest.
If it was still as in the dream, Jiang Ruoqi would not be able to marry into a good family, and Aunt Yuan would naturally not want to see her daughter so miserable. In short, if the candidates she favored were not good enough, she would ask the grandfather to come forward and find a family of equal status, which would be good.
"Let's make some arrangements tomorrow, and go out and buy some things." Jiang Ruohua said, "We'll have someone send them to the manor to prepare them for entertaining Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Yes." Yinqiu nodded.
The two of them walked leisurely towards the courtyard. The only way was quite quiet, and there were few servants passing by at this moment. Jiang Ruohua had clear ears and eyes, and she could tell from a distance that someone was waiting for her. Then she whispered, "Follow her from a distance and see if anyone is nearby."
"Okay." Yinqiu nodded, slowed down her pace and followed Jiang Ruohua farther and farther away.
There was a servant standing at the corner. She was quite plump. If I remembered correctly, she was in charge of the food. This job was lucrative and the people in charge of this area were mostly fat. Almost all the delicious food that slipped through the masters' fingers ended up in these people's stomachs.
When the fat maid saw Jiang Ruohua coming, she knelt on the ground
with a thud and said, "Thank you so much, Miss. Your daughter and I are grateful!" The fat maid had just cried and her voice was still sobbing. She kowtowed to Jiang Ruohua several times and said gratefully, "If it weren't for the young lady's mercy and pleading, Xiaoxiang would have been dragged out and beaten to death. Thank you, Miss, thank you!"
Jiang Ruohua raised her eyes and said slowly, "Your daughter was beaten with a stick. If she is not handled properly, she may still lose her life."
The fat maid was the mother of the careless girl Xiaoxiang. She raised her head with red eyes. Although she was Although she was a well-known servant, she did not dare to take care of her daughter so openly. After hesitating for a moment, she kowtowed to Jiang Ruohua and said, "Miss, please save Xiaoxiang. Xiaoxiang and I will be yours from now on."
It was unreasonable for the master to save a maid who had done something wrong. The fat maid knew this. The reason why the fat maid did this was because she only had such a daughter. Her husband was also a servant in the family in his early years. Unfortunately, the two of them only had such a daughter. They thought that boiling medicine would not go wrong, so they asked their clumsy daughter to do it, but in the end, this happened.
The fat maid could not ask the third lady for help, so only Jiang Ruohua could give her a glimmer of hope.
"Get up." Jiang Ruohua said, "I will ask someone to get you some good medicine later. As long as the flesh wound does not cause fever and can form scabs, you can survive. Give it to your daughter later." "
Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss!" The fat maid thanked repeatedly, her heart full of gratitude!
"However, a loyal servant does not serve two masters. Your daughter's life is not important to me, but it is more important to you than your own life." Jiang Ruohua passed by her and whispered, "Xiaoju is an example of an unfaithful servant, isn't she?"
The fat maid lowered her head, then nodded: "The eldest lady is Xiaoxiang's benefactor. I am willing to serve the eldest lady even if it costs my life."
"That's good." Jiang Ruohua smiled, "Don't worry, I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. If you do well, you will naturally be rewarded."
She recruited another person to work, and this time she got something out of the blue. Although Xiaoxiang is a clumsy girl, Xiaoxiang's mother is quite capable. She is also the one who takes care of the food, so there are really many things she can do.
"I understand. Send the young lady." Xiaoxiang's mother lowered her head and waited for Jiang Ruohua to leave, then quietly left from another path.
Yinqiu quickly caught up with her, and recalled carefully, "Miss, that seems to be the mother of the girl who committed a crime today? I remember that she seemed to be working on the shopping trip."
