"They're all bad!" Jingrou glared angrily, pointing a chubby little finger at the people in front of her.
They were definitely bad people. Sowing discord and stirring up trouble, the people in the Hesheli clan's courtyard all glared angrily at the two of them.
“This mother is from the second son’s courtyard, and this little maid is here!” Of course, Hesheli couldn’t recognize everyone in the mansion, so at this moment, the nanny in charge of this matter stepped forward.
"Your Highness, this person should be one of the gardeners who was recently recruited..." She stared at the little maid for a few moments, her brows furrowed. She hadn't expected that the expansion of the household would result in the recruitment of such a treacherous and ambitious person.
Since this person isn't someone the household regularly employs, they must have been engaging in divisive activities since entering the Prince's residence. Their motives for coming in are probably not pure...
Clearly, Hesheli had also figured out the key to it.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, already wondering which family had sent the spy, or if they wanted to disrupt their peace.
“Mama Chen, you’ve served by March’s side for a long time. If you still can’t understand these divisive words, you’re really getting worse as you get older! Is it because you’re having too much of a comfortable life serving your master that you’ve started having such thoughts!” Wu Mama, who served Hesheli, was exasperated.
She knew most of the old women and nannies in the mansion.
Although Chen's mother was largely lucky to get to work for March, she was usually quite capable and took good care of people, which is why she was valued.
But who would have thought that she would resort to such crooked and unethical means in order to be given more important responsibilities?
Thankfully, she wasn't allowed to go out and talk about it. Otherwise, wouldn't she have stirred up trouble in the mansion?
In fact, when the people next to her introduced the maid in green as someone who had only recently arrived at the mansion, Chen Mama's face turned deathly pale.
Although she might be a little dim-witted, she wasn't stupid. She clearly understood that this maid was of unknown origin!
She believed this man simply because he was eloquent and charming, able to flatter her with his sweet words, and because his words always struck a chord with him…
Mother Chen was eager to impress her master and gain his favor.
She must have come up with some clever ideas to keep her guard down!
After all, those who can establish themselves in the Prince's mansion must be quite clever.
"Your Highness..." Mother Chen kowtowed repeatedly, her lips trembling but unable to utter a word.
"I want to see who's stirring up trouble and making our Zhuzhu angry!" Lady Irgen Gioro lifted the curtain and came in. She was wearing a light purple dress, which she usually wore in the mansion. She came in a hurry, and her hair was a little messy.
First, Yiergenjueluo apologized, then looked at Jingrou with worried eyes. Seeing that she seemed unfazed and was looking at her with bright eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart softened completely.
How can there be such a lovable little girl? She's the one who's been wronged... yet she acts like she's comforting others.
When Jingrou saw the worry in Irgen Gioro's beautiful eyes, she let go of her grandmother's hand and went over to take Irgen Gioro's hand.
No matter what, her aunt and cousin are innocent. She wanted to punish these self-righteous and divisive people, not her own family members!
My aunt and second uncle stayed outside the Great Wall. If it weren't for their pregnancy, they would have returned to the capital and stayed there for three to five years. Now they still have to endure the yellow sand outside the Great Wall. How could Jingrou blame her?
"It's really because I wasn't careful enough that such a person managed to sneak in. Luckily, no one was allowed to... otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to stay in this household. How could I face you and Zhuzhu?" As she spoke, her voice began to tremble with tears, but she still stubbornly held back. She was never the kind of person who would cry easily.
Even when she returned to the capital alone, feeling isolated and helpless, she wouldn't cry.
She not only felt guilty, but also felt that those people behind the scenes were really going too far, using their methods against the Prince's Mansion and targeting their weakest point! As an orphan and widow, she stayed in the Prince's Mansion while her husband was not in the capital, so weren't they the most vulnerable to being bullied?
Hesheli pulled her to sit beside her, saying, "Don't say that. Neither I nor Zhuzhu meant to blame you. Just be more careful with such petty people in the future..."
Empress Hesheli gave a wink to the people around her, and two palace maids quietly withdrew to investigate.
As for those two people, they were set aside before the incident was fully investigated. The Prince's Mansion has the right to deal with people, and these two were not obtained from the Imperial Household Department, but were purchased by the Prince's Mansion itself from outside; their indentures are still kept in the Prince's Mansion!
"Don't worry, this matter will definitely be investigated thoroughly... You should also keep a close eye on March, and see if that scoundrel said anything he shouldn't have."
Irgen Gioro nodded. Of course, she had to go back and keep a close eye on things, but when she thought of her son's simple and honest appearance, she knew that if Chen's mother had really said something to him, she wouldn't have been able to hide it at all, and she would have found out long ago, instead of waiting until now.
