Mrs. Bo looked around, and suddenly a look of disgust that was hard to conceal appeared on her face.
She didn't like these flowers and plants; she loved jade and gold jewelry. These flowers and plants took up nearly half of her annual expenses, and in the end, they would turn into a handful of mud, leaving nothing behind.
But she needed these flowers and plants. She knew the prince loved these things that couldn't be eaten or used, and his favorite was the plum tree, which was said to be priceless. And she knew the reason without having to think too much.
She often stared at the tree quietly, having in her heart cut it down thousands of times and burned the felled trunk as firewood thousands of times.
But she knew she couldn't do that. So she needed the brightest flowers, the strongest fragrance. She would do everything she could to hide the existence of the plum tree.
"Miss."
Mrs. Bo came back to her senses a little, and when she looked up, she saw her personal nanny walking towards her quickly.
The hostess of the palace resumed her gentle and dignified demeanor, pursing her lips and staring at an apricot that was crushed into a pool of mud at her feet.
"how's it going?"
The nanny spoke in a low voice only after she was very close.
"Those who came from the palace are still in the ancestral hall."
"What took you so long?"
"Master, he..."
There was a hint of hesitation on the nanny's face, and Mrs. Bo curled her lips into a sneer.
"explain."
"The master seems to want to set up a memorial tablet for the Mei family in the ancestral hall..."
The nanny's voice faded until it was silent. The side courtyard became quiet again, and suddenly a woman's slightly out-of-tune voice was heard again.
"Since ancient times, no woman has been allowed to enter the royal ancestral temple. How could Mei Ruogu really turn the tables?!"
She was filled with hatred when she said this, but only after she finished speaking did she realize she had lost her composure. Taking a deep breath, Mrs. Bo's face, which had been slightly distorted, became smooth again.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. When you came here just now, did you see the adopted daughter of the Xiao family?"
The nanny nodded quickly, "I saw it. He's just as domineering as before. It looks like he's pissed off Wanwan. I'm afraid he'll be nagging about it for days."
Mrs. Bo sneered.
"She was an official for a few days. Wanwan is no match for her. I wonder what kind of magic potion a crude and lowly person who wields a spear and a club could have that would make Su Pingchuan so obsessed with her."
The nanny quickly glanced at her master who was a little unhappy today, made up her mind and whispered.
"In my opinion, no matter how strong-willed and warlike she is, she is still a woman after all. If you want to destroy her mind, you must start with her body."
Mrs. Bo remained motionless, but her eyes turned to the person beside her.
"You cunning slave, what dirty tricks have you come up with?"
Upon hearing this, the nanny slapped herself hard and said anxiously.
"This servant deserves to die. I am just concerned about the young lady. I can't bear to watch another domineering and glamorous mistress move in to this courtyard. If that happens, the young lady's life will be even more difficult."
Mrs. Bo was silent for a moment, the expression on her face became a little erratic, but her voice returned to that thin and soft tone.
"Although your method is despicable, it is indeed the most effective method at the moment. However, there are too many people here today..."
Upon hearing his master's words that there was a turn for the better, the old slave, who had seemed a little exhausted before, instantly became energetic and even his mouth no longer felt any pain.
"Master, don't worry. I'll do this for you. No one will notice."
Mrs. Bo nodded in satisfaction, then stretched out her slender white fingers to look at her nails that had just been trimmed and dyed.
"Is Wanwan already over 28 this year? She should be getting married."
"Exactly. What do you mean, young lady...?"
"Chuan'er is still young, full of vigor and vitality, and some things happen against his will. But we are a wealthy family, and we can't do things that take advantage of others and then deny it. If the other family is also a good one, we can't bully them. We can only turn this ugly thing into a good one, and make it a fleeting marriage. What do you think?"
The nanny showed some joy on her face and said yes repeatedly.
"Wanwan and the young lady are of the same mind and will surely be a great help to this mansion in the future. The young lady is truly thoughtful. I will take care of it now."
"As for the Xiao family's adopted daughter..." Madam Bo paused meaningfully before continuing softly, "Even with the support of the Marquisate, her background is definitely not enough to reach the high branches of the royal palace. She seems to have some self-awareness of this, but Chuan'er won't let go easily. We, as elders, must be more attentive and teach them to see reality as soon as possible, so as to avoid bitter consequences and regrets in the future."
The nanny understood what he meant and immediately offered a good plan.
"I remember that there are still some Red Blood Crows given by the Di people in the north. Perhaps they can be used today."
"Well, this is just right. It can be regarded as a win-win solution without endangering her life."
"My lady is kind-hearted. I will do it now."
The nanny bowed and retreated, and Mrs. Bo sighed as she looked at the spring scenery in the garden.
"Chuan'er, Chuan'er, as your aunt, I cannot compare to your biological mother's magical powers. I can only give you this one gift. You don't have to refuse it. Please accept it."
******************
The name Yiyuan was unfamiliar to Xiao Nanhui.
But when she got there, she realized that she had been here a long time ago. Because many years ago, Su Pingchuan's birthday party was held here.
At that time, she was not much taller than the stone table in the garden, but now she can touch the branches full of flower buds just by raising her head.
