After Jiang Chuwei ran out of the yard, she no longer looked sad at all.
"Miss, how did you know that the young master went to see Madam Qiao?"
Chunqin was puzzled; how did the young lady know that the two had a past?
Few people in the Marquis's mansion knew that the heir apparent was incompetent.
These personal maids knew it.
The young lady did not hide it from them.
The young master always looked at his mistress with a guilty expression.
Although they felt sorry for their young lady, they never imagined that the young master had conspired with the royal physician to deceive her.
Pshaw, what nonsense about impotence! I hope his wish comes true!
"Your young lady also knows that Qiao Xuerou's courtyard is connected to Qingfeng Courtyard."
After Jiang Chuwei finished speaking, apart from Chunqin, the maids' mouths were agape enough to fit eggs.
Xia Qi: "This is so shameless."
"Did you already know?" Xia Qi looked at Chunqin.
"Today, Miss had me block the secret passage between Jianjia Courtyard and Qingfeng Courtyard, forcing them to escape through the main gate." Chunqin was already shocked once.
Even the usually composed Granny Qiu became angry: "If Miss is unhappy, we can go to her door and cause trouble."
Suffering such a great injustice, keeping it bottled up can easily make you sick.
"It's nothing, I'm very happy today." Jiang Chuwei meant it sincerely.
Today's performance in front of everyone is preparation for returning home.
From now on, she will be a pitiful victim.
"Qiu Shu! Have your brother go to the teahouse and tell him what happened today." Qiu Shu's brother, Yu Datong, was outside managing the shop for her.
"Tell him to go to places like taverns and teahouses as much as possible to spread the word."
Taverns and teahouses are a melting pot of all sorts of people.
It's also the place where gossip spreads the fastest.
People are especially eager to learn about the scandalous gossip surrounding nobles.
Qiu Shu's older brother, Yu Datong, is very clever. He can quickly and efficiently complete any task assigned to him.
Sure enough, the news of what happened at the Pingyang Marquis's residence last night spread like wildfire throughout the capital.
Lu Yanfang went to a banquet, but returned in a fit of rage halfway through.
She ran to Shou Kang Hall: "Grandmother! Who spread our family's secrets outside? I'm so ashamed today!"
Yesterday I said a few words about Jiang Chuwei, and the rumors have spread like wildfire, Grandmother! You must find this person and beat them to death.
Does she even care about her reputation?
Madam Lu angrily said, "Which heartless bastard spread this? Investigate him!"
Lu Yanfang was furious: "Now even the opera troupes are singing that our Marquis's family only married Jiang Chuwei because they were after the General's family's dowry and connections. They even said..."
"What else is there to say? Tell me the truth now, are you trying to drive me crazy?" Old Madam Lu scolded.
"They said that my brother and Qiao Xuerou were having an affair right under Jiang Chuwei's nose, and they also said... they also said that my brother... couldn't do it, that's not true." Lu Yanfang's voice grew softer and softer.
She had no idea that her older brother's excuse was that he was incapable, and she was too ashamed to refute it.
I'm so embarrassed today.
"What did you say?" Old Madam Lu couldn't catch her breath and fell straight backward.
"Grandmother!" Lu Yanfang cried out in a panic, "Quickly, summon the royal physician!"
"Grandmother, wake up!" Lu Yanfang was terrified, her face turning deathly pale.
If something were to happen to her grandmother, how could she face her father?
"Quickly, go and invite the young mistress." Granny Wu didn't care that she had been hit by the young mistress and ordered the maid to go and invite her.
The maid of Shou Kang Hall rushed over to invite Jiang Chuwei.
"Young Madam, the Old Madam has fainted. Please go and take a look."
When she first married into the family, the old lady would faint whenever she was stimulated.
He would always have a terrible headache after waking up, and Jiang Chuwei would always be there to take care of him.
"The old lady is ill, so she should go to the family physician. Why would she need to see our young lady?"
Xia Qi stopped people from coming in.
This whole family should get lost.
The young lady had just lain down to take a nap.
The noise outside makes it impossible for anyone to sleep.
"Let her in!" Jiang Chuwei ordered.
The young maidservant knelt down as soon as she entered the room: "Please, young mistress, go and see, the old lady has fainted."
If she hadn't invited the young mistress over, she would have been in for another beating.
The old lady wanted Jiang Chuwei to see how difficult life was for the servants of Shou Kang Hall if she didn't attend to their illness.
In the past, if she arrived even a little late, the servants who came to fetch her would be punished.
Jiang Chuwei couldn't bear to see the servants suffer because of her. Whenever she heard that the old lady was feeling unwell, she would rush over immediately and eat and sleep in the old lady's room.
Jiang Chuwei sighed.
I've been so stupid these past three years, completely manipulated by the old lady.
The servants of Shou Kang Tang could be punished however Madam Lu pleased.
What does it have to do with her?
She used to consider herself a member of the Marquis's mansion and always thought of the mansion's interests.
She never mistreated the servants.
Now, let the old lady do whatever she wants!
There are so many people suffering in the world that she cannot possibly sympathize with them all.
The old lady punished her servants without any limits, and in the end, she was the one who lost the hearts of the people.
When the maid returned, the old lady had already woken up.
Upon not seeing Jiang Chuwei, Old Madam Lu was furious: "She's really audacious! I can't even get her to come back. Oh dear, my head is killing me."
In her excitement, her headache flared up again, and Old Madam Lu wailed in pain.
"Suxin, go and invite her yourself! Tell her to come over quickly," Madam Lu instructed Granny Wu.
Madam Lu was used to being served by Jiang Chuwei.
There was also her homemade Zhengqi Pill, which was practically a miracle cure; taking it would immediately relieve headaches.
