At noon, Song Chengze came back angrily and went straight into Jing'an Garden.
The servants at Jing'an Garden were terrified, their faces grimacing as they hid in their rooms, not daring to breathe. It was said that Yuandong and Lixia were still standing at the door of their landlord's house, refusing to leave, when Prince Rui threw his teacup at them and yelled at them to get out.
Then the angry rebuke of Prince Rui and the rebuttal of the princess were heard. After drinking a cup of tea, Prince Rui stormed out of Jing'an Garden again.
In the afternoon, news spread in the capital that Song Chengze was scolded by Concubine Lian.
It was said that when Princess Rui entered the palace to meet with Concubine Lian yesterday, she said something that upset Concubine Lian. Furthermore, Princess Rui was unyielding and didn't take Concubine Lian's careful teachings to heart.
Last night, she even invited Prince Rui to the inner chamber to complain about Concubine Lian, which infuriated Prince Rui so much that he went to the palace early in the morning to apologize to Concubine Lian. Concubine Lian, however, gave her son no respect at all and scolded Prince Rui in front of the servants of Qionghua Palace.
She also said that since Princess Rui didn't know the rules, it would be better for her to stay in her Qionghua Palace for half an hour every time she entered the palace in the future, and she would teach the new princess the rules.

Meng Qi was scribbling on a piece of paper, holding a specially made charcoal pencil with a cap, making it very convenient to use without having to constantly dip it in ink. This pencil was made at Meng Wan's request, and she had initially found it awkward to use, but after using it herself a few times, she realized how convenient it was.
Each piece of paper was filled with the names of women from the inner chambers of Prince Rui's Palace. Li, Xiaolin, and Wu each took up a piece of paper. Further down were the names of those surrounding them.
Meng Qi wrote each name on three different pieces of paper, but unfortunately her memories from her previous life were of no help to her, because she had no idea who among these people was placed in Prince Rui's Mansion.
Because in her previous life, no matter what news about the Prince Rui's Mansion was known to the outside world, no matter whether it was released intentionally or discovered accidentally, she really didn't care at all.
What she knew was that during the last year she lay there, Mrs. Bai, Ms. Zhang, and Mrs. Xiao Lin were all dealt with by Song Chengze. This meant that there was someone behind these people, but she didn't know who it was.
Later, she was sent to the farm, and she had no idea whether Li, Ms. Li, and Wu were also suspects.
Therefore, she planned to start with the first three. Among the three of them, Xiao Lin and Bai were obviously in the same group, which made it much easier.
Her time was too tight. Although Song Chengze had a frosty look on his face when he came back, the uncontrollable joy in his eyes seemed to be flowing out. It was obvious that the opportunity she created for the mother and son to meet openly made their conversation very effective.
Song Chengze told him that he would discuss it with her in the evening, but not in Jing'an Garden, and would ask her to go to Bibo Hall at that time.
Meng Qi was very excited when she heard this. She had a hunch that the mother and daughter might need her to do something. This was a good start. No matter what it was, at least there was a task assigned to her. It gave her a chance to show her ability and was another step towards gaining their trust.
Therefore, she must hurry up and clear out the people and things in her past life memory that were detrimental to the Rui Palace. This way, she can free up more energy to deal with the affairs of the palace. After all, for Song Chengze, the affairs of the palace are a big deal.
In her previous life, she hadn't paid any attention to the affairs of the mansion, and Song Chengze hadn't let it cause any trouble either. But in this life, she wanted to handle these matters herself. The most important reason was that she wanted to find the person in her previous life who had ordered the two maids to hold her down in the water, leaving her lying there for three years, half-dead and half-ghost.
Yuanyue came into the room, and Yuandong gently blew dry the paper Meng Qi had written on and put it aside.
Meng Qi flexed her wrist and said to Yuan Yue, "Have they all been transmitted?"
Yuan Yue nodded. "Princess, you always say that I'm a good talker, but let me tell you, Xiao Man is the real deal. Especially when she's with San Ya, these two girls are so in tune with each other. If I didn't know the whole story, I would have believed everything they said."
Meng Qi smiled and said, "This proves that you are a good teacher. Didn't Xiaoman say that you are her master?"
"Well, I haven't even seen a great master's Shuxiu yet, how can one become a disciple like this?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Dong tapped Yuan Yue's forehead and said, "You are becoming increasingly unruly in front of the princess. It is important that you report the mission you just took to the princess."
Yuan Yue turned her head and gave Yuan Dong a chuckle, "Don't worry, Princess. Everything has been spread. No matter which courtyard gets the news, it's absolutely correct."
"Are you sure you're not confused?" Yuan Dong asked.
"No, and I definitely didn't let anyone else hear it."
Meng Qi nodded. She deliberately asked Yuanyue to take Xiaoman and Sanya out, and revealed three pieces of information to Xiaolin, Bai and Ms. Zhang.
This is important news for those who want to know the inner affairs of Prince Rui's Palace. Considering that the Queen's Autumn Banquet will be held in a few days, if these people are really planted by other princes, then the princesses will naturally not miss the opportunity to attack themselves.
By then, everyone will know who is whose. The reason Meng Qi only brought out three pieces of information was because he thought that the enemies had to be eliminated one by one, so he had to deal with what he knew in his previous life first. As for those who were still hiding in the dark, he would have to slowly look for opportunities.
"Princess, do you think this plan will work? What if they don't bring these things up? What this servant means is that after all, these are three different pieces of information. If one family were to verify them again, I'm afraid the secret would be revealed."
Meng Qi shook her head. "Don't be afraid. I angered Concubine Lian yesterday, and the news that she reprimanded the prince today has spread throughout the capital. The general idea is correct. As for the inner news, everyone must know something different. As long as it's caused by this incident, it's fine. As for those servants who brought the news out last time, find a fault with them and send them away. Just say I was in a bad mood and it was me who got into trouble."
