Shumulu: "You call that normal correspondence? Do you even know who he is?"
Jingxian was also quite curious: "What's his status? He's dressed elegantly, exuding an air of nobility..."
Shumulu was almost driven mad by her: "You...you...I'm telling you, he's just a male prostitute. How could you, a young lady, associate with such a person? If people find out, not only will you be ruined, but all the princesses of our Guarjia clan will lose their future. How can the clan tolerate you? If it really comes to that, even your mother can't protect you."
Jingxian was already disillusioned when she heard about male prostitutes serving customers. After Shumulu finished speaking, Jingxian couldn't believe it was true: "How is this possible?"
Shumulu Shi: "Nothing is impossible. You should reflect on your actions. Your mother's abilities are limited. If this happens a few times, your mother won't be able to handle it. You'd better take care of yourself."
Shumulu had come here hoping her daughter might be a little smarter, but she hadn't even realized her mistakes. Shumulu had decided to give up on her completely.
She is a housewife who loves her children, but she has more than one daughter, and she cannot give up everything for one child.
Jingxian hadn't fully realized that her mother had already left. When she wanted to say something more, she discovered that her mother was gone.
It was only then that Jingxian realized her predicament. She understood how wrong her actions were and that she could not control the ancient times she lived in. She did not understand many common sense things, and even if she had some memories, she could hardly empathize with them.
Jingxian muttered to herself, "Could I have really made a mistake? I traveled back to the Qing Dynasty and still have so many spice recipes in my head. I don't believe it."
Jingxian fell into self-doubt, denying her own actions while simultaneously telling herself that she hadn't done anything wrong.
After being disappointed in her daughter, Shumulu Shi ordered people to keep a close watch on her, and the previous care was gone. The servants below treated Jingxian differently based on her status, and Jingxian's life became increasingly difficult.
Even though life in the nunnery was boring before, she never lacked anything, and the servants around her didn't dare to disobey her orders. Now, she rarely has the power to command her servants anymore.
She realized her predicament and forgot about feeling sentimental. Her "I am the protagonist" mentality, which she had since transmigrated, also changed slightly.
She had never experienced hardship in either of her lives. Even in modern times, with advanced technology, she wouldn't have to do everything herself because of the lack of servants. It would be impossible for her to do daily chores.
Jingxian began using the spices she had prepared herself.
Spices are not a panacea; she first used them to bewitch the servants and learn their secrets from them.
This spice is also very effective; after use, the person who has been exposed to it will not have any memory of it and will not know that they revealed their secret.
Jingxian was smarter this time. She used the spices to find out everyone's secrets, but she didn't threaten everyone. Instead, she chose a few people who had prestige among the servants.
Jingxian first summoned the nanny her mother had given her.
The old woman remained indifferent: "I wonder what instructions Your Highness has for me?"
Jingxian didn't care about the nanny's somewhat arrogant attitude. She wasn't a real person from ancient times and didn't have that kind of mindset of enslaving people. She didn't think the nanny's attitude was disrespectful.
Jingxian: "I heard that the old nanny was Mother's dowry maid?"
This is no secret; anyone could find out by asking around.
The old woman replied, "Yes."
Jingxian: "I see! Does Mother know that the old nanny once accepted money from Concubine Kang?"
Upon hearing this, the old woman's previous cold expression vanished, replaced by a hint of panic in her eyes. However, she still feigned composure and asked, "What do you mean by that, Princess?"
Jingxian smiled and asked, "What do you think that means, Granny?"
The old nanny said, "Consort Kang has long since turned to dust. When Consort Kang was alive, she would often reward the servants. Every servant in the Shumulu household had received money from Consort Kang. Your words are baseless and easily misunderstood. Even if I did not obey Your Majesty's orders, it was the Fujin who instructed me. Your Majesty's words are unjust."
