As for Concubine Yu, her life is in her hands, so there is no need to worry about her betraying her.
"By the way, Princess, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you!" Nanny Hua thought of something and suddenly said with some difficulty.
"What's up?"
"It's the old lady of the Yang family."
"What happened to her?"
Princess Yuchang naturally remembered the old lady of the Yang family, an extremely stupid old woman, but because of her existence, she was able to grasp the fatal "weakness" of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Aunt Hua said, "She's been a bit noisy these days."
"Want to escape?"
"no."
This was the first time Aunt Hua had encountered such a troublesome person, otherwise she wouldn't have come to ask her master for instructions. "The old lady of the Yang family is really difficult to serve. She's picky about everything, from food to clothes. In the end, she even disliked the maids who served her. She kept crying and making a fuss, demanding a replacement. In the past two or three months, she's changed so many people."
"It's been hot lately, and she's been clamoring for sweet lotus roots made from the Summer Lake, and some kind of milk tea made with fresh milk, and... a lot of other requests. If we don't satisfy them, she starts crying and making a scene."
"And that Wei, I don't know if she's been bleeding too much lately, but she keeps saying she has no appetite and hasn't eaten in ages. She only eats after her maids force-feed her some soup or something, or Madam Yang coaxes her into eating. I've seen a doctor, and he's confirmed she's very weak and can't bleed anymore for the time being."
Actually, these are easy to solve.
What really worried Aunt Hua was, "There's another thing. I don't know what Madam Yang has eaten recently, but she seems to be... poisoned. When the doctor was examining Madam Wei, she suddenly fainted, and that's when they discovered it."
Princess Yuchang frowned when she heard this.
"Have you found out who poisoned him?"
"I checked, but I didn't find anything."
"Go and have a look."
Old Madam Yang cannot die for the time being, otherwise all her future plans will be wasted.
In a big house.
Old Madam Yang looked at the plates of exquisite food in front of her, her face as ugly as if she had eaten shit. She raised her hand and threw the plate in front of her to the ground: "What the hell are you guys doing here? Didn't I tell you that I want the tenderest spring bamboo shoots, not these old, tooth-wrenching ones? Are you deliberately trying to starve me to death?"
The old women and maids serving on the side all shrank back.
They were used to this situation, but they were still afraid that the old woman would hit people with things if they disagreed with her. Since they were ordered not to hit her, they could only endure it.
"And what is this thing?"
Old Madam Yang picked up a piece of stringy meat with her chopsticks. It was coated with flour and fried until golden brown. It looked very appetizing, but the old lady just threw the chopsticks back when she came to pick them up.
"What are you all up to? I'm old and my teeth aren't very good to begin with, and yet you bring me something so sweet it's sticky that it could make my teeth fall out. Are you trying to make me die of sweetness so you can be liberated?"
"And this, this..."
"Bang, bang, bang"
Plates of food were thrown to the ground, making a series of banging noises, and Princess Yuchang came in under such circumstances.
One of the meatballs bounced directly onto the hem of her clothes, and the thick vegetable juice left a mark on it.
"presumptuous!"
When Aunt Hua got stuck, she immediately started yelling, and the maid behind her hurriedly wiped Princess Yuchang's face with a handkerchief.
When Old Madam Yang saw Princess Yuchang, she seemed stunned for a moment.
As Aunt Hua's voice sounded, she seemed to react. Her face, which had been a little distorted just now, was now full of tears, and she rushed directly towards Princess Yuchang.
"Princess, you are finally here. If you hadn't come, I, an old woman, would have died."
Because she was too fast.
Even Aunt Hua had no time to stop it.
Princess Yuchang was almost knocked down by her, and was so angry that she could hardly maintain her kind expression.
In the end, it was Aunt Hua who pulled her away.
"Madam Yang, what are you doing? Let's talk nicely."
Old Madam Yang ignored Nanny Hua and tried to reach out to pull Princess Yu away. She said aggrievedly, "Princess, I've had a hard time these days without you coming..."
Aunt Hua's mouth twitched violently.
Princess Yu Chang glanced at the mess on the ground, her eyes darkening. In the end, she maintained her composure and said, "Old Madam, if you have anything to say, please speak to me in a nice way. Getting angry like this is bad for your health."
"Oh, the eldest princess is really considerate of me, an old woman."
Old Madam Yang seemed to have found her organization, and her tears came without warning. If the floor wasn't a mess, she would probably have sat on the ground and slapped her thighs and cried.
"Princess, look at what's lying on the ground."
"I am also an old lady from a noble mansion. Although I cannot compare to those royal relatives, I used to be very careful when I ate. When have I ever been treated like this? These people look down on me and want to starve me to death while you are away, Princess."
"Isn't this good?"
Princess Yuchang was not blind, and she knew exactly what the dishes that were scattered on the ground were. There were fish and meat, and it was a very rich meal.
However, Old Madam Yang widened her eyes in disbelief.
"What's so good about this? Princess, you don't know. I said this morning that I wanted to eat those tender spring bamboo shoots. You know, it's hot out, and eating a bowl of porridge with those tender bamboo shoots is so comfortable."
"But do you know how they did it? They made a plate of dried bamboo shoots to fool me, an old woman. I took a bite of it and nearly broke my old teeth. And this..."
Old Madam Yang pointed at the sweet and sour pork that was still stuck together on the ground.
"I clearly said I wanted to eat some sweet meat. My mouth has no taste, so I need something sweet to sweeten it up. But look at what they sent me. It's a sticky mess. If I take a bite of it, it's going to stick all my old teeth off. And this and this... none of it is edible. Isn't this deliberately torturing me, an old woman..."
The more she spoke, the sadder she seemed, and she even started crying.
But the maidservants who were listening were trembling with fear and hurriedly explained: "Princess, it's not like that. This morning, Madam Yang said she wanted to eat bamboo shoots and sweet meat. But now it's summer, where are the spring bamboo shoots? So she could only buy some dried bamboo shoots at the market. This sweet and sour pork is also Madam Yang's..."
"What's the matter? You can't do anything, and now you want to frame me?" Before the old woman could finish her words, Old Lady Yang interrupted her with great dissatisfaction.
The old woman wanted to say something else.
Princess Yuchang spoke at this time: "In that case, then let's take these incompetent people down and kill them..."
