The palace carriage picked up Jiang Segu at Chenshi (7-9 AM).
Madam Zhou said with great concern, "Madam, what should we do? The Yin family's daughter was sent away by the Sixth Miss before dawn today!"
"What's your hurry! How could I let the Yin family leave the capital so easily!"
"Did the old lady know long ago that the Sixth Miss would not allow the Yin family's daughter to enter the palace, so she made arrangements in advance?"
As Madam Jiang fiddled with the newly strung Buddhist prayer beads, she didn't answer Zhou Mama's question, but instead reminded her, "The eldest daughter-in-law's work is too slow, go and help her!"
Zhou's mother understood and withdrew.
The fact that the Sixth Miss is not in the manor today is indeed a good opportunity to poison the young master!
You can't blame her for being ruthless; you can only blame the young master for being born into the wrong family!
With the young master dead, the third mistress's dowry...
It's not that the old lady is greedy, it's just that bribing everyone involved costs money!
The Bao family is making exorbitant demands again, and the young lady can't keep subsidizing the old lady forever.
In that case, I can only apologize to the young master!
Aunt Lan saw everything Zhou's mother did, but she did not stop her.
Although what Gu Songhan said was true, evidence was needed to bring Old Madam Jiang to justice.
Madam Jiang is very cunning; she does everything meticulously. If you want to find fault with her, you'll have to find another way.
In that case, I can only apologize to Young Master Jiang!
Jiang Wenlin, unaware that he had been wronged by both sides, had just drunk the medicinal meal that Wen Dong had brought.
It wasn't that he was feeling unwell, but rather that he asked Dong if it was something Miss Liao had personally prepared for him.
He couldn't very well let Miss Liao down, could he?
Watching him drink every last drop of the medicinal food, Wen Dong sighed inwardly: This man is so easy to fool! I wonder how the cunning Jiang Liu girl could have such a kind-hearted brother!
Jiang Wenlin showed no sign of being disliked and handed the bowl to Wen Dong, saying, "Brother Wen Dong, please tell Miss Liao that I appreciate her kindness, but please tell her not to make me medicinal meals anymore."
Still thinking about the future?
Wen Dong felt that Jiang Wenlin was overthinking things!
He smiled and agreed, "I will definitely convey the message to General Liao!"
After leaving the house, Wen Dong handed the empty bowl to Chang Xi, and then stood at the door like a door god.
Changxi, whose face was still covered in charcoal dust, was both angry and furious upon seeing this.
How could you lie to the young master?
Wen Dong pretended not to hear.
Completely ignored, Changxi was about to go in to find Jiang Wenlin, but he hadn't asked Dong Gao or Dong Zhuang. He wanted to shout, but then he saw the gleaming sword at his neck...
Never mind, it's not a big deal!
He's a magnanimous man who doesn't hold grudges against petty people and doesn't bother with such a barbarian!
Chang Xi, beaming with joy, took the medicine jar to the pharmacy.
On the way, I happened to run into Zilan, who was carrying a food box.
"Sister Zilan, where are we going?"
Zilan is gentle and never argues with anyone. Although she is not as eloquent or charming as Qiaohe, she is kind and speaks softly, which makes her very popular.
Zilan smiled and said to Changxi, "Madam made some food for Young Master Wenlin and was just about to ask me to deliver it! I didn't expect to run into you on the way, which saves me the trouble of making an extra trip!"
As he spoke, he handed the food box to Changxi.
Recently, Madam Jiang has been frequently preparing food for Jiang Wenlin, and Changxi has gotten used to it, so she naturally accepted the food box without any suspicion.
As soon as Changxi took the food box, Zilan took the empty bowl from his hand. "What's this? Are you taking it to the kitchen? I'll take it for you, so you don't have to make the trip in this heat!"
Changxi thanked Zilan and then carried the food box back to Huayangxuan.
Seeing him return so quickly, Wen Dong's eyes flashed with a cold smile.
When Changxi saw this, her heart skipped a beat. "Why are you looking at me like that!"
"You came back really fast!"
"Mind your own business! Anyway, you don't need to brew the medicine or bring the bowl, so why are you making such a fuss!"
"Was that food box you're carrying sent by the First Madam?"
It's no wonder Wen Dong asked that question; previously, the food was always delivered by the First Madam herself.
"I met Sister Zilan on the way, so I suppose the First Madam is here today..."
Purple Orchid?
Wen Dong vanished in a flash, leaving Chang Xi, who hadn't finished speaking, standing there grimacing in anger. He muttered a few curses at Wen Dong's departing figure before carrying the food box into the house.
Jiang Wenlin, who had just finished drinking the extremely bitter medicinal diet, was feeling nauseous. Looking at the pastries in the food box, he no longer resisted them as usual and picked up a red bean pastry to eat.
Not long after, Changxi's voice came from Huayang Pavilion, shouting urgently, "Young Master, Young Master, what's wrong? Don't scare me..."
The news quickly reached the ShÅtai-in.
Madam Jiang scraped the teacup with satisfaction, "They should be going to see Doctor Li by now."
"Yes, but arsenic is a poison that kills instantly upon ingestion; even a celestial being would be helpless! We are fortunate to have Miss Cousin's help, otherwise we would have no way to buy such a poison!"
It was uncommon for Zhou's mother to say something ingratiating, then she glanced at Old Madam Jiang and asked, "I wonder what Old Madam's plans are regarding Miss Liao?"
"As long as Lin-ge'er is gone, a wife who hasn't been publicly acknowledged is nothing to fear! Besides, I've been watching closely, and Miss Liao seems to have a much stronger interest in A-Zi than in Lin-ge'er!"
Mother Zhou nodded with delight, "This old servant was worrying unnecessarily!"
Now that the young master is dead and the sixth young lady's fate is uncertain in the palace, it seems that once news of the sixth young lady's death arrives, Miss Liao will have no reason to stay in the Marquis's mansion.
While the Changping Marquis's mansion was in chaos because of Jiang Wenlin, the Yilan Palace where Jiang Chuhui lived remained very quiet.
At that time, Jiangse Valley had not yet arrived.
Only Jiang Chuhui and Mu Ying were in the hall.
The master and servant stood at the palace gate, gazing at the distant sky.
"Muying..."
"This servant is here!"
"How long have you been following me?"
"Your Majesty, Mu Ying has been with you since she was three years old, and this is now her thirteenth year!"
"It's been so long!" Jiang Chuhui sighed softly. "Do you still remember your original name?"
Mu Ying smiled and replied, "I remember, her name is Cuihua."
Do you know why I changed your name to Mu Ying?
Mu Ying shook her head, "Your Majesty has never mentioned this matter, but Your Majesty is very learned, so it is likely that the words were taken from a poem."
Jiang Chuhui also shook her head, "Ying, it's the 'Ying' in 'dandelion'!"
Dandelion?
Mu Ying?
Mu Ying was a smart person, and she understood the meaning of her name in an instant.
Do you envy dandelions for being able to travel far away on the wind?
So, Mu Yuan... is she envious of kites that can fly high in the blue sky?
Looking at Jiang Chuhui's profile, Mu Ying felt a pang of sadness.
My dear girl, you only see that the dandelion can move away from where it takes root, but have you ever thought that it needs the wind to move away!
Although a kite can fly high in the sky, it is always tethered by a string!
Both things seem free, but in reality, they are not in control of their own destiny!
Just like her and Mu Yuan!
Just like a young girl!
