Chapter 159: The Princess Has the Final Say in the Palace

When Zhao Zhuoxi heard the woman's question, his mind was churning wildly.

Who is she?

Isn't she the granddaughter of Princess Zhaoyang?

The fake daughter of the Su family.

But why did what she said sound exactly the same as Jiang Jiu's?

Jiang Jiu is dead...

She could be alive somewhere else...

But Suman of the Su family is still alive.

With a "bang", Zhao Zhuoxi felt a severe pain in his head, as if he was being pricked by needles.

It hurt so much that he passed out again.

When he woke up again, he was still lying in bed.

There was no one around him. His new princess and some others were talking in the outer hall.

"You want to go back now? Why? Is grandma not feeling well?"

Jiang Jiu was a little anxious. Everything in the palace had just gotten on track, and she really needed Nanny Xu's help.

But why did she leave suddenly?

Aunt Xu was also somewhat forced to do so.

"Yes, Princess, Her Royal Highness is fine. The main problem is that a new situation has arisen in my family. My eighty-year-old mother-in-law is ill. Originally, my daughter-in-law, the housekeeper, could help take care of her, but she recently gave birth to a child and is in confinement..."

Madam Xu's family also had a lot of trouble. She was a household servant in the princess's mansion, and her whole family lived in the mansion, so she could have taken care of both.

Now that she's gone, things at home seem a bit chaotic.

Jiang Jiu didn't want to force her to stay, so he gave Aunt Xu two exquisite pieces of jewelry.

"This is for your mother, I hope she will like it, and this is for your daughter-in-law, to celebrate the birth of a new child."

Nanny Xu bowed and said, "Thank you, Princess. However, you don't have to worry. These four maids are for you. They are diligent and have good sense. You will definitely like them."

Who would have thought that after Nanny Xu left in the afternoon, by the evening, the four maids all had stomach upsets and were vomiting and having diarrhea.

Jiang Jiu called a doctor to treat them.

At this moment, if Jiang Jiu didn't know that someone was causing trouble in the mansion, she would be a fool.

The only person who was dissatisfied with the princess's mansion sending people was probably Mrs. Chen from the Qin family.

Jiang Jiu is also a person who refuses to admit defeat.

Early the next morning, she asked someone to keep a close eye on Zhao Zhuoxi, and quietly left the house with the original owner's dowry maid Jingshi.

"Princess, it's not a good idea for us to go out like this."

Jing Jingzhen was a little timid, and her original owner was also timid, so Princess Zhaoyang was very worried about her marriage.

After Jiang Jiu left the house, he went directly to the nearby vegetable market.

Like an ordinary young woman, she bought vegetables, meat, some rice and noodles, and a chicken.

Jing Jing was taken aback: "Why did the princess buy all these? Are you going to cook for yourself?"

"Yeah," Jiang Jiu nodded, "Yesterday, Chunhua, Qiuyue and the other maids ate the palace's meals, and ended up getting sick. If one person gets sick, it's her own problem, but if a group of people eat together, then there's something wrong with our palace."

"So, from now on, we will cook the meals in our yard ourselves."

I was surprised to hear that, and it turned out to be true.

"But there are also maids from the palace in our yard."

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "So, let's just do our own thing. As for the other maids, I will take good care of them after we return."

After buying some food, Jiang Jiu went to the Rouge Shop. As soon as he entered the house, Jiao Niang came to greet him.

"Madam, you look very noble. What do you want? I'll introduce you to someone."

Jiang Jiu pointed at a suit in a very generous manner.

"Give me eight copies of this set, and four boxes of this rouge. Deliver them to Prince Qi's mansion."

When Jiao Niang heard about Prince Qi's Mansion, she looked Jiang Jiu up and down.

"The girl looks young, has a woman's hairstyle, and wears noble clothes. She must be the newly married Princess of Qi... This show is a bit low-key."

"Tsk." Jiang Jiu mischievously made a gesture to her to keep quiet.

"I'm just going out for a walk. Why are you making such a fuss? There are plenty of nobles in the capital."

The little girl smiled, with a bitter look on her face.

If her daughter Xiaojiu hadn't died, there wouldn't be any new people entering Prince Qi's mansion.

After working hard for several years, I didn't expect that the princess would become someone else.

It’s just that the new princess’s behavior is a bit like her son Xiaojiu’s.

"Yes, Princess, please wait. We will send her to the palace now."

After returning to the palace, Jiang Jiu took the purchased dishes and went straight back to the yard.

There was a small kitchen in the yard. She asked Jingchen to light the fire for her and she cooked by herself.

I cooked a few dishes and stewed a bowl of chicken soup.

After she finished her meal, she brought the food to Chunhua, Qiuyue and others who were recuperating in the room.

Even in the princess's mansion in the past, it was not reasonable for a few maids to serve their masters.

As soon as they saw Jiang Jiu come in, they all got up from the bed.

But he was stopped by Jiang Jiu.

"I'm sorry to bother you sisters. I made this meal myself, I guarantee it's clean. Please forgive me for what I have done."

When Chunhua heard this, she almost knelt down, but was stopped by Jiang Jiu.

"What are you talking about, Princess? I failed in my duty and made you worry."

Xia Ri was impatient and could not help but complain: "When Madam Xu was here, the servants were more restrained. As soon as Madam Xu left, they were immediately bribed. It's because we were careless that this often happens."

The four maids grew up in the princess's mansion and had seen all kinds of battles.

Since four people fell ill at the same time, we knew that the food they ate was not clean.

In the morning, Jiang Jiu cooked porridge himself, asked the maid Jing Chen to cook medicine, and served them personally.

Qiuyue was also very angry: "Don't worry, Princess. We are almost well now. We will definitely help you punish the evil slaves."

This is what Jiang Jiu thought: "Take your medicine and get better soon."

After Jiang Jiu left, the maid Dong Yang sighed heavily: "We were harmed by someone, and the princess is also soft, why didn't she just arrest the person directly."

Chunhua angrily scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. The princess has only been married for a few days. She has no say in the affairs of the palace. Besides, there are other people living in the palace besides the servants of the palace."

When she reminded them of this, everyone took a deep breath.

Qiuyue was so angry that she cursed: "Could it be the second wife of the Qin family? She comes from a noble family, how could she be so mean?"

Xia Ri was also very angry: "The ladies in the palace, which one is not from a famous family, is not scheming against each other, and the means are not mean, as long as it works."

As he said this, he glanced at Dong Yang and said, "If the princess hadn't cooked for us personally, I'm afraid some of us would have to pack up and go back to the princess's mansion in the afternoon."

Dong Yang pouted: "Originally, we just came to help, but we were poisoned. Don't you think it's infuriating?"

Chunhua was still the most considerate: "Otherwise, if the palace was so good, why would the princess worry about what our girl would do and send us here? As soon as Aunt Xu left, you completely forgot what she said."

Qiuyue thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that someone may have been behind Aunt Xu's departure."

Xia Ri said righteously, "Then we can't leave easily. If we don't help the princess clean up the house, not only will Her Royal Highness be worried, but we will be worried too. Even if she is not a real Su family member, we have been friends for more than ten years. We all know what the lady is thinking."

"You are usually so gentle and weak in the mansion, but now you have entered a wolf's den. I am worried about you anyway."

Qiuyue nodded in agreement: "I will definitely help the princess clean up the palace."
