Liang Qingchen stared at her, his eyes narrowed slightly.

If looks could kill, Jiang Muyu felt that he might have died a thousand times.

She swallowed and smiled awkwardly: "I was just joking, don't be angry..."

"Hehe - you should know very well whether it works or not." After saying that, Liang Qingchen lay back down.

It’s over. I already have a picture in my mind…

Jiang Muyu silently turned over and faced away from him, so as to avoid being seen by him with her face that had turned red all the way to her neck.

Suddenly, someone's hoarse voice came from behind him, "When my injury is healed, it will be your turn to be bedridden."

Jiang Muyu: “…”

Okay, stop talking, she's already started playing dead.

She lay there stiffly for a long time, and when she heard no movement behind her, she thought Liang Qingchen had fallen asleep, so she breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Little did they know that Liang Qingchen actually stayed up until the late night before falling asleep.

The next day, Jiang Muyu was having breakfast when Yunshan came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the palace."

As he spoke, he presented a rolled-up piece of paper.

Jiang Muyu took it and felt that the paper was a little damp. She also smelled the fragrance of osmanthus on the paper, so she asked, "How did this get delivered from the palace?"

Yunshan said, "The Concubine De bribed the purchasing agent of the imperial kitchen to hide the message in the unfinished sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and then poured it into the manure bucket and sent it out."

"Uh..." She suddenly felt that the breakfast in the bowl didn't taste good anymore.

She endured the discomfort and opened the note, on which were written four words: "Waiting for good news."

Then he immediately put the note on the candle, but because the paper was damp, it took a while to light and was finally destroyed.

It seems that Wei Zelan has already completed the task initially and is just waiting for her.

Since the emperor has no intention of investigating the matter of Princess Rong An, Jiang Muyu certainly won't rush to get involved.

The emperor didn't touch Qing Guiren because he was concerned about Sun Chou. So she should bring down Sun Chou first. Then who will be able to protect Qing Guiren?

Of course, if Sun Chou was innocent, she would naturally find it difficult to do anything to him. Unfortunately, this man was all show and no substance.

Previously in Changchun Palace, she and Wei Zelan had discussed countermeasures and asked Wei Zelan to start with the investigation in the palace. As long as Sun Chou was responsible for one of Qing Guiren's actions, this matter would be much easier to handle.

They checked the code and wrote "wait and see" if there was no situation, and "wait for good news" if there was a situation.

Now it seems that there must be something wrong with Sun Chou.

But where should she start?

Jiang Muyu was thinking when Yun Yan suddenly came in from outside and said, "Madam, there is a Madam Chu who wants to see you."

Coming so soon?

Jiang Muyu stood up quickly and said, "Take Madam Chu to the West Guest House first, I will be there soon."

"Yes." Yun Yan went out again.

Jiang Muyu looked in the mirror and found nothing wrong, so she added some more lip balm and left Qingyu Courtyard.

When meeting a financial sponsor, one must always act respectfully to show that one is valued enough.

Yun Yan had just brought the teacup when Jiang Muyu walked in.

The people in the house saw her standing up and bowing: "This humble woman has met the princess."

"No need to be so polite, both of you."

She walked to the seat at the top and sat down, and Mrs. Chu also sat down on the right.

She saw a tall and thin young woman standing next to Mrs. Chu. She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with her hair in a bun.

"This must be the Master Tan Niang that Mrs. Chu mentioned."

Tan Niang said quickly: "I don't dare to be a master, I just know a little skill to make a living."

"You are so modest. I have seen the cloth you dyed. It is very beautiful."

"Thank you, madam."

"Does Master Tan Niang have a surname?"

"My family name is Tan."

This...isn't the name a bit too hasty?

"Is Master Tan married?"

Chu Yu said, "Tan Niang combed her hair when she was twelve years old."

"Is that so..."

Jiang Muyu looked at her and suddenly felt that this was also good, not getting married and not having children, coming alone and leaving without a trace.

She changed the subject and asked, "Master Tan, are you willing to work under me?"

Tan Niang said: "Of course I am willing, but..."

"What's wrong?"

Tan Niang suddenly came forward and knelt in front of her.

Jiang Muyu was stunned, "What are you doing?"

Tan Niang said, "I have another unwelcome request."

"You say, I'll listen first."

"I have an older sister. In her early years, she followed a caravan as a escort. However, she was robbed by a group of bandits on the way. Although she escaped, she injured her hand and has been unable to do heavy or delicate work since then. But my sister is smart. She can not only read and write, but also do accounting. So, I think..." She paused here.

Jiang Muyu understood, "Do you want to find a job for your sister?"

"Well, Sister Man used to be a very capable person who couldn't sit still, but after that incident, she couldn't find a job. She's been languishing for the past two years, and I want to cheer her up."

She was afraid that Jiang Muyu would not agree, so she said, "It would be fine if the Queen took her in as an accountant and gave her a few coins every month. As long as... as long as she feels that she is useful in this world..."

Jiang Muyu thought for a while and said, "I am not someone who wants to be taken advantage of. I don't have that much spare money."

Tan Niang was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing. The light in her eyes dimmed and dimmed, and she slowly lowered her head.

"How about this, I'm going to Jiang's Dyeing Factory later, you can bring her here for me to take a look. If she's suitable, I can consider keeping her here."

Tan Niang immediately became angry and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Princess, thank you, Princess."

"You go first. Mrs. Chu and I still have something to talk about."

"Yes." Tan Niang walked out with a look of joy on her face.

Chu Yu watched her leave, then he spoke, "Madam, I have also met her elder sister."

"Really? Madam Chu, do you think that person can be kept?"

"She is indeed quite capable, but unfortunately..." Chu Yu sighed and said, "Mrs. Tan is understating it. Qingman's hand was not simply injured, but her tendons were severed. Let alone heavy work, even lifting a teacup full of water would be difficult for her."

"It's so serious..."

The fingers are connected to the heart. If you accidentally cut your hands while cutting vegetables, it will hurt like hell, not to mention having your tendons cut. Jiang Muyu felt a chill all over his body just thinking about it.

Chu Yu also felt very sympathetic.

However, she quickly passed over the matter and changed her face to gossiping, saying: "I heard that Tan Niang and Qing Man are not sisters. The two of them live in the second alley of West Street. They are a family with no blood relationship and have a very close relationship. It's just that Qing Man went out to prostitutes when she was fifteen, and Tan Niang has been a self-combed woman since then."

Jiang Muyu found it more and more strange as he listened, and asked, "Does anyone in Tan Niang's family have any opinions?"

"I heard that Tan Niang was an orphan who was abandoned when she was still a baby. She was found on the roadside by Qing Man's father."

"No wonder they are as close as sisters."

Chu Yu said: "Qing Man is a pitiful person. She was a high-spirited girl when she went out, but she was in a miserable state when she came back. She suddenly learned that her father had passed away, which was like adding insult to injury."

This... is too tragic. Jiang Muyu also felt a little sympathy.

"No matter how much I say, it won't be as good as seeing it with your own eyes. I don't have anything important to do today, so why don't I accompany you to the dyeing workshop?"

"Great." Jiang Muyu was very happy. With Chu Yu around, she could discuss things with others.

The two of them walked out of Prince Rui's Palace together and took a carriage to the dyeing workshop.

At this time, no work was started in the dyeing workshop. Only the shopkeeper Huang and Xu'er were standing outside the door, waiting like two husband-waiting sisters.

Until they saw the palace's carriage approaching, both of them were delighted and stood up immediately, one on the left and one on the right, one tall and one short, like two doormen.

Jiang Muyu saw this scene when he opened the carriage curtain. He couldn't help laughing, "What are you two doing here?"

Xuer smiled and stepped forward to bow, "My queen, we have waited so long for you to finally come."

Yun Xuanxuan helped her out of the carriage.

She said, "If I hadn't come today, would you have waited until dark?"

Huang, the shopkeeper, scratched his head and said, "The dyeing factory has stopped working. My father and I have nothing to do. We can only wait for you to come."

At this moment, Jiang Muyu felt that he had a huge responsibility. He was extremely poor, but he still had to support a large group of people.
