Standing at the entrance of Jiang Shuyue's house, there is a large plaque above the door with three striking gilded characters: Princess's Residence.
really.
Liu Yuelan and Xiao Cui's legs went weak. This...this...this...
"Is this Sister Jiang's house?"
"Indeed, this is my residence. Come in quickly, I will instruct the kitchen staff to prepare a delicious meal for you."
Song Ning was a little confused when she entered the mansion.
She saved two people on her journey to escape famine: a prince and a princess.
The person they rescued in the mountains was a general.
Good heavens, that's really good heavens.
Who says you can't just pick things up from the street?
Isn't she just lucky to have met a benefactor?
"Er Ya, Auntie, Xiao Cui, just treat this as your own home. There's no one watching over you here, you're very free."
After saying that, he instructed the maid beside him: "Peony, quickly tell the kitchen to prepare more dishes today, I want to entertain distinguished guests."
"yes."
"Sister Jiang, no need to trouble yourself. We'll just sit for a bit and then head back. I still have family at the inn."
"That's alright, I'll send someone to whichever inn it is."
Jiang Shuyue instructed someone to pick up Song Dahai and the others from the inn, and brought Song Ning and the others into the room. She held Song Ning's hand and was very happy.
"Er Ya, meeting you is the happiest thing that has happened to me these days."
Tang Xinghuai has made me really irritable lately.
Song Ning observed Jiang Shuyue carefully and noticed that she was indeed much more cheerful than before.
Compared to its former lifelessness, it is now much more vibrant.
"Thank you, Sister Jiang."
"Hey, why are you thanking me? If you hadn't saved me back then, the grass on my grave would probably be several feet tall by now," Jiang Shuyue joked.
Xiao Cui gently tugged at Liu Yuelan's sleeve and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Auntie, when did the master meet the princess?"
They all knew Princess Jianing, but they had never seen this princess before.
Her employer is really something else; he knows two princesses.
Even people from the capital city might not have seen a princess before.
Liu Yuelan glanced at the two people across from her who were chatting animatedly and whispered, "This is a long story, I'll tell you about it later."
"Er Ya, what brings you to the capital this time? I heard His Majesty bestowed upon you a house and shops, are you here to oversee these?"
"That's right. We plan to settle down in the capital and do business here from now on."
"That's great! Then I can come to Jingcang to find you. Don't worry, I'll help you open a shop in the capital." Jiang Shuyue said excitedly.
"We don't need Your Highness's help. All you need to do is show up and support us."
"Don't be so formal, Your Highness. Don't worry, I'll definitely be there to support you."
After a few people sat and talked for a while, Song Dahai and his group were invited over.
Upon arrival, Jiang Shuyue immediately instructed people to arrange accommodations and invited the imperial physician from the manor to take the pulses of Old Madam Liu and Mr. Yu.
They were treated to an even more lavish meal that evening, making the Song family feel embarrassed.
After dinner, Jiang Shuyue pulled Song Ning aside to talk.
"Er Ya, I heard from my cousin that the things His Majesty bestowed upon you are temporarily stored at the Duke's mansion. You've been here for so long, why haven't you gone there yet?"
Song Ning smiled slightly and said casually, "Oh, no rush. We've only just arrived in the capital. We plan to look around first. Besides, the Duke's Mansion is not a place that ordinary people like us can just walk into."
Song Ning originally wanted to ask Jiang Shuyue for help, but since it was her first day here, it wasn't appropriate to ask her directly.
Let's talk about it in a few days.
Besides, on such a good day, she didn't want to talk about those dirty things, lest it seem like she was suing someone.
However, Jiang Shuyue was taken aback. As a member of the royal family, speaking was a serious matter, and a slight carelessness could lead to trouble.
Jiang Shuyue couldn't help but overthink.
Which of the powerful and influential families in the capital doesn't have a few unruly and wicked servants in their courtyards?
However, as long as nothing major happens, they usually turn a blind eye.
The master is busy all day and doesn't have time to keep an eye on the people below.
But what kind of place is the Duke's mansion? It's a place that everyone in the court is keeping a close eye on.
So many people wanted to squeeze in, and so many others were waiting to find fault with the Duke's mansion.
Although she might be overthinking it, she immediately sent someone to the Duke's mansion to deliver a message after seeing Song Ning off.
Although she didn't know what had happened between Song Ning and her aunt, she would always praise Song Ning to the skies whenever she mentioned him.
If Song Ning really suffered injustice at the Duke's mansion, those people below him would probably be in deep trouble.
At this moment, the Duke's mansion had just finished dinner.
Because Xie Linzhou was not at home, Princess Jianing was worried and had little appetite.
The old woman brought over some soup and gently comforted him, "Your Highness, please eat some. Xiao Pingzi is taking care of the young master, so he'll be fine."
Princess Jianing sighed softly, her brows furrowed with helplessness: "My son is all grown up now, I can't control him anymore."
"Your Highness, please don't say that. Young Master is a very filial son."
"Filial piety my ass! If you're going to be filial, why don't you hurry up and give me a grandson?"
The old woman quickly reminded him, "Your Highness, you can't say such things. If His Majesty finds out, he'll scold you again."
Princess Jianing then realized what she had just said and sighed, "I'll never change my temper in this lifetime."
As they were talking, Granny Chang came in from the outer room to report: "Your Highness, Princess Changning has sent someone."
