Meng Qi climbed onto the kang, and Madam Liu pulled a thin blanket over her. "The mansion was very quiet today, and none of them made any noise. However, Nanny Hai's daughter-in-law went in and out several times, going to the east courtyard to get Nanny Hai's daily necessities."
Meng Qi nodded, fearing that Nanny Hai knew that she was coming to the palace today and wanted to find out what Concubine Lian thought about her treatment of her.
In fact, she didn't have much of a problem with Madam Hai. After she found out that Madam Hai had no one else around her, she would naturally let her return to the mansion to serve. After all, Madam Hai's loyalty to Song Chengze was unquestionable. But if Madam Hai implicated others or was used by others, then everything would be different.
She had no better solution now. Because of her previous life's stupidity, she didn't fully understand many things in the Rui Palace, especially the interpersonal relationships. Later, one thing after another told her that every one of these people in the inner palace was not an easy person to deal with. Each one of them had their own group of people, and others obeyed them, or they obeyed certain people.
She wanted to find out, especially in a short period of time, which was not easy, so she had to use the process of elimination. Although it was troublesome and complicated, it should be effective.
"Tell Wang Chenghai to keep watching and report anything unusual. Especially those who often visit their house. If they see a stranger, they must keep an eye on him."
Mother Liu responded, "Don't worry, Princess. Wang Chenghai is full of skills now and I don't know where to show them to you."
Meng Qi thought about how Wang Chenghai had been waiting for her at the second gate. She had not returned on time, but he was waiting there so promptly. This meant that he had been waiting for an unknown amount of time.
This was great, she could use them all. The few people she had brought with her were far too few compared to the rest of the palace. She needed more help, and Wang Chenghai was the first choice, and she didn't need to test him much, because she knew him well from her previous life.
There are still people who need her to test, such as Ms. Li. Based on her performance today, Ms. Li has already passed her test, but she dare not draw conclusions easily and always needs to observe her for a while longer.
Just like Song Chengze was observing and testing himself.
"Go back to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow." Meng Qi said softly.
"Yes, what are your instructions, Princess?"
"Tell my second sister that I'm afraid I can't go back to live with her for the month, and ask her to talk to mother and not let her worry about me. Secondly, bring some gifts back and give them to each courtyard. Just tell her to say the worst about me, saying that Xiaolin is in charge of the finances of the palace, and she always puts me in a bad light, using the children as an excuse to make my life difficult."
Mother Liu sighed, "Did the Crown Prince's wife say the same thing?"
Meng Qi thought for a moment and hummed, "If Mom asks, just tell me. If she doesn't ask, don't say anything. But I'm afraid if other people find out, they'll tell Mom about it."
Meng Qi was helpless, but she couldn't tell Wang too much truth now.
"Also, you can choose the head ornaments and bring them back to Meng Juan tomorrow. It will be used as a make-up for both her and me."
When Madam Liu heard Meng Qi mention Meng Juan, she clapped her hands and said, "I almost forgot to tell the princess."
"What's up?"
"Guess who went to the Marquis' Mansion yesterday to add makeup for the eldest lady?" There was excitement in Mother Liu's eyes.
Meng Qi shook her head, "Who? Do I know him?"
Mother Liu nodded. "You may not have seen her very often, but you must know her. She's Meng Zhi, from the Meng family's side branch."
"Meng Zhi?" Meng Qi thought carefully. The name sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember whose family it belonged to.
"You don't remember, it's Meng Zhi who was sent to Prince Cheng's Mansion by the Third Master."
