Peng Mu's subordinates looked at Princess Jinghe with suspicion.
Princess Jinghe grinned: "Really, I'm not lying to you. My sister just likes refined people. By the way, would you like to come to my house for a while? My parents are home. If you want to ask my sister for a marriage proposal, you can ask my parents. By the way, where are you from, and what do you do?"
Instead of answering, Peng Mu's subordinate asked, "What did you bring out of the Song family?"
Princess Jinghe: "They're just some scraps of cloth we don't need anymore. My mother and sister are good at embroidery, and a steward from the Song family is familiar with my mother, so he sold us their unwanted stuff cheaply. Oh, brother, even though it's the end of the first month, it's still quite cold. Come back with me, and we'll talk slowly. Hehe, you're the sixteenth man to visit my house during the first month, so can I call you Sixteenth Brother?"
Peng Mu's men were already half convinced, but he still got into the car and opened the sack to take a look.
Princess Jinghe was so angry that she started cursing and even hitting people.
After examining the rags, Peng Mu's men left without saying another word to Princess Jinghe.
Princess Jinghe stood with her hands on her hips and cursed in the direction he left for a quarter of an hour before getting into her carriage and riding away.
Peng Mu's men did not leave immediately; they simply remained hidden in the shadows.
Princess Jinghe leisurely drove back to an alley two streets away from the inn, stopped the carriage, carried a sack, and pushed open the gate to the courtyard: "Father, Mother, has my sister returned?"
Peng Mu's subordinates, who had been following Princess Jinghe, suddenly realized that the brat had said so much, but hadn't mentioned where her sister had gone.
As a middle-aged woman appeared in the room, she slapped Princess Jinghe, then pulled her into the room and whispered something to her. Only then did Peng Mu's subordinate completely believe her; he had been too suspicious before.
He didn't care where that brat's sister had gone and turned back to the Song family.
Inside the room, the middle-aged woman smiled as she watched Princess Jinghe mutter to herself. She watched her like this for a quarter of an hour before pouring her water and letting her rest.
"The princess has grown up so much, this old servant hardly recognizes her. The feng shui of Kuncheng is excellent, it has made the princess even more beautiful!" the middle-aged woman said as she poured water.
“Nanny, please don’t flatter me. I was originally better looking.” Princess Jinghe smiled, took a sip of water, and continued, “Nanny, I’ll come to see you again when I have time. I have some things to do here, and the people outside should have left.”
This middle-aged woman was Princess Jinghe's wet nurse. Years ago, her son became successful and brought her back to Jiangnan. However, her son and daughter-in-law had an accident a few years ago, and they didn't leave behind any children, leaving her all alone. Princess Kang sent someone to bring her back to the capital, but she refused, wanting only to spend the rest of her life in Jiangnan.
Princess Jinghe had sent someone to Fuzhou to inform them of the impending departure. Just now, she had taken out the jade pendant she always wore to recognize her wet nurse, which is why nothing went wrong.
The middle-aged woman was reluctant to part with her, but knowing that the princess had important business to attend to, she could only see her off with a heavy heart.
"I'll come see you again tomorrow, don't see me off." As she reached the door, Princess Jinghe took her hand, stopping her from leaving.
"Okay, okay, I'll make you something delicious tomorrow," the middle-aged woman said happily.
Princess Jinghe nodded and left the courtyard. She made several turns and avoided people all the way to the inn. As soon as she entered the room, she gasped in shock.
