Chapter 10 Visiting the Duke’s Mansion at Night
"You said Madam Lin is back? Isn't she..." Jiang Wenjin was very surprised. He had always heard that there was a lady in the Marquis' Mansion, and she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. It was said that she often bullied his mother and almost caused his mother to have a miscarriage, which was why his father sent her to the farm.
Later, he also heard from Wenzhu that the news of her death seemed to have come a few years ago, but now she was not only alive but had come back.
"Wenzhu, go to your mother's place later and remind her to be careful of Madam Lin in the future."
She almost caused her mother to have a miscarriage before, and now that she is back, it might be even more detrimental to her mother.
"Okay, young master. I'll go talk to the lady in a moment. Young master, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"
The eldest young master has become more and more sleepy recently. He wants to sleep every time it is this time of year. But today he is quite energetic.
"Later, go get me a storybook to cheer me up."
Wenzhu tucked the corner of the quilt for him, walked to the bookcase beside him, took out a storybook from it and handed it to him.
The young master doesn't have any other entertainment activities on weekdays. He occasionally goes to the yard to bask in the sun. Wenzhu will go out to inquire about all kinds of gossip and tell him about it to entertain him.
Sometimes when he was outside basking in the sun, he would hear the laughter of the young master next door, and the older master would be very envious.
If he had the chance, he would probably like to go out for a walk.
Wen Zhu saw Jiang Wenjin reading quietly, so he didn't disturb her. He quietly left and went to find Liu Shuang.

Jiang Nanyuan asked the servants to replace everything in the yard, especially the quilts and sheets on the beds. Those were the ones Jiang Xiuxiu had slept on, and she hated them very much.
"Miss, are you there?"
Jiang Nanyuan had just sat down when she heard someone calling her outside. She opened the door and saw that the person who had just spoken was Li Qing, followed by two maids.
Seeing Jiang Nanyuan come out, Li Qing smiled awkwardly and pointed at the two maids behind her, "Miss, these two maids were assigned by Concubine Liu to serve you."
"Chunhua, Qiuyue, why don't you quickly bow to the young lady?"
The two maids immediately knelt down and shouted in unison: "The servants Qiuyue and Chunhua greet the young lady."
Jiang Nanyuan nodded slightly and sneered in her heart.
Haha, they want to send someone to monitor me? Then they have to have the ability to do so.
"Okay, I'll take him."
Neither of them had any martial arts skills, so they posed no threat to her at all.
Li Qing felt relieved when he saw Jiang Nanyuan accepted the person.
The young lady had a bad temper and I thought she would refuse it when she heard it was sent by Aunt Liu, but I didn't expect her to accept it so easily.
"My lady, I will take my leave first."
Jiang Nanyuan waved her hand indifferently. After Li Qing left, she turned to look at Chunhua and Qiuyue who were still kneeling. "You two can stand up. You can follow me. I only have one request: you can't betray me. If you do, I will make her die miserably."
When the two maids heard Jiang Nanyuan's words, they looked up at the same time with guilt, then quickly lowered their heads.
The oppressive feeling of this young lady was so strong that even though she was smiling, they felt terrified.
"Yes, miss."
The two of them glanced at each other secretly, then stood up together.
Jiang Nanyuan had been alone for a long time and was not used to being served by others. However, since someone had sent her, she didn't mind keeping her for now. She wanted to see what they wanted to do.
There is a small kitchen in Jiang Nanyuan's yard. Knowing that Qiuyue can cook, Jiang Nanyuan asked her to cook.
She went into the house and asked Chunhua to guard outside. She entered the space and began to practice.
The spiritual energy in the space gradually recovered, and she was able to practice in the space, but the speed was extremely slow, and she might only be able to improve a little bit in a month.
But it's better than nothing, and it's already good enough.
The sky gradually darkened, and Qiuyue brought the food over. Chunhua then went forward and knocked on the door.
Jiang Nanyuan heard some noise outside in the space, so she stopped practicing, came out of the space, and opened the door.
"Miss, the food is ready. Do you want it brought in?"
Jiang Nanyuan nodded, and Qiuyue brought the food into the house and placed it on the table.
Chunhua took a handkerchief and asked Jiang Nanyuan to wash her hands. She took it, wiped her hands, and started eating.
Qiuyue’s cooking skills are pretty good, and the food she makes is not bad. Jiang Nanyuan ate a little of everything. She didn’t care whether the food was poisoned or not, after all, she was immune to all poisons.
After dinner in the evening, Chunhua Qiuyue brought water into the house to help her take a bath, but Jiang Nanyuan sent them away and did not let them help her.
She did not bathe in the wooden barrel, but entered the space and took a bath in the hot spring.
How can bathing in a wooden barrel be as comfortable as bathing in a hot spring?
After soaking for about half an hour, she put on her clothes and came out of the space, asking them to come into the house to clean up.
At night, Jiang Nanyuan did not let them keep watch and let them go back to the house to sleep.
Jiang Nanyuan lay on the bed with her eyes closed. After midnight, she immediately opened her eyes and adjusted to the darkness. She took out a set of night clothes from the space and put them on.
He used the art of stealth to sneak out of the yard and quickly headed towards the Duke's Mansion.
In just a few breaths, she arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, and she found that the gate was heavily guarded.
Why didn’t we notice any soldiers guarding here during the day?
Without thinking too much, Jiang Nanyuan did not enter through the main gate, but slipped in through the side door. She came in very easily without attracting the attention of the guards outside.
She didn't know where the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion was, so she had to go to every courtyard in the dark.
After looking around, she found that there were very few people in the yard. Only a few yards were occupied, and many yards were empty with no one inside.
She also found the yard of Lin Zhixue's mother, who is now her grandmother.
As soon as I entered the room, I realized something was wrong. There was a strong smell of medicine in the room.
There were two people lying on the bed. Jiang Nanyuan had no impression of the Duke and his wife, but she felt that the two people on the bed were her grandparents.
She walked forward lightly and saw that the two were sleeping soundly and had no idea she was coming. She walked forward and put her hand on one of them's pulse.
Immediately, she frowned tightly and withdrew her hand. She did not stay in the Duke's Mansion for long, but left and returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
She didn't go back directly after she came back because she saw Jiang Nanfeng and several servants holding lanterns walking quickly towards a place.
What was he doing up so late? Wasn't today his wedding night? He wasn't having a wedding night, and he was out so late, so there must be something important going on.
Jiang Nanyuan thought so and followed slowly at the back.
