What happened in the inner quarters wouldn't normally reach the front yard, but someone with ulterior motives had already planted spies in the back yard, so Wan Tianci quickly learned of Madam Jiang's sinister intentions.
However, he still had to follow Jiang Wenlin, so he whispered a few words in Disheng's ear.
"That's not a good idea, young master! That's your great-aunt..."
Wan Tianci reached out and pinched Di Sheng's ear, "Does what I say no longer have any effect?"
Earth-born ears are naturally large and easy to twist, but that also makes them very painful to twist.
He tried to cover his ears with both hands, but Wan Tianci's hands were still twisting his ears, so he could only plead in a low voice, "Young Master, I'll go, please let go!"
"If you had been this sensible earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer! Hurry up and go. If anyone finds out, don't be afraid. Just say I ordered you to do it! If anyone dares to hit you, be quick on your feet and run to me right now. I'd like to see who dares to hit my people!"
These words deeply moved Di Sheng, making him feel that he had followed the right master. However, Wan Tianci's next words chilled him to the bone.
"However, I will never support useless people. If this matter is not accomplished today, you will no longer need to follow me!"
Disheng knew that Wan Tianci was truly angry with his great-aunt, and inwardly groaned: "When gods fight, mortals suffer." But aloud, he assured Wan Tianci, "Young Master, Disheng will definitely avenge Sixth Miss!"
Thus, with the croton powder he had bought a few days earlier tucked in his arms, Disheng quietly sneaked into the backyard.
This croton powder was originally prepared for Young Master Liang, but he has been behaving himself lately and hasn't bothered Young Master Jiang, so it hasn't been used for a while.
I thought I'd been rendered useless, but then my great-aunt bumped into me today!
Taking advantage of the crowd and the fact that no one was paying attention, Disheng went to the small pharmacy next to the large kitchen.
Because of her infertility, Madam Jiang had always taken medicine and never missed a meal.
However, when Disheng arrived at the small pharmacy, the medicine was no longer being brewed on the small stove inside, which left Disheng dumbfounded.
He rummaged around and saw that the medicine pot was still hot to the touch, so someone must have just poured out the medicine and left.
Disheng quickly chased after her and soon saw Zijin beside Madam Jiang. He quickly pinched some croton powder and put it between his fingers.
"Sister Zijin, what are you doing here?"
Zijin turned around and looked at the panting Disheng, puzzled for a moment, "Shouldn't you be asking me what I'm doing here?"
"I was ordered by the young master to deliver some things to the sixth young lady, but who would have thought that she would use me as a messenger? But I don't know this backyard at all. I've almost run my legs off, but I still haven't found the sixth young lady's maid!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the teacup on the tray in Zijin's hand out of the corner of his eye, reached out and took it, lifted the lid and was about to drink, "I've been running for so long, I'm really thirsty, I'll drink this tea first!"
"Oh no! This isn't tea, it's my mistress's medicine."
In that instant, all the croton powder between Di Sheng's fingers had fallen into the teacup.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I didn't know! What's wrong with Auntie? Is she feeling unwell somewhere?"
With a stern face, Zi Jin covered the medicine cup while scolding, "Is this something a servant like you can ask? Since Sixth Miss ordered you to go find someone, what are you doing running to the main kitchen?"
"I've gotten lost. Could you please take me to see the Sixth Miss? I've forgotten where the banquet is being held in the inner quarters!"
Zi Jin glanced at the medicine cups on the tray and said calmly, "Then you may come along!"
We arrived at Biyue Hall.
"Sixth Miss is there, go ahead!"
"Thank you so much, Sister Zijin!"
After watching Disheng walk to Jiang Segu's side and say a few words with a worried expression, Jiang Segu looked somewhat dissatisfied. Zijin then glanced at the medicine cup in his hand.
Is she overthinking it?
That's true! Why would Young Master Wan bother playing tricks on the First Madam?
Thinking this, Zijin placed the medicine cup in front of Madam Jiang. To be on the safe side, he also told Madam Jiang about his encounter with Disheng and how Disheng had picked up the medicine cup.
Madam Jiang looked at the medicine cup, thought for a moment, and then waved for Zijin to take it away.
Although she has been obsessed with having children all these years, she has now become more open-minded and thinks it's better not to take the medicine!
While talking to Jiang Segu, he kept an eye on Zijin and Madam Jiang. Seeing that Madam Jiang hadn't taken her medicine, he became anxious and a worried look appeared on his face.
Seeing that he was absent-minded, and remembering that he had come with Zijin, and then seeing Zijin leave with his teacup, Jiang Segu became suspicious. So she said to Disheng, "Go back and tell your young master that there are many guests today, and tell him not to be petty!"
With Jiang Segu's words, Di Sheng's worried expression finally disappeared. "Thank you so much, Sixth Miss!"
Di Sheng returned to the front yard with a big smile, while Marquis Changping was anxiously waiting for Gu Songhan to arrive.
Didn't Deputy Commander Gu say he would come today?
Why is there still no sign of them even though the banquet has already started?
We can't exactly send someone to their door to urge them!
Just then, someone came and whispered a few words in his ear, and the Marquis of Changping immediately beamed with joy...
Jiang Segu was unaware of what had happened in the front yard, and his forced smile almost froze.
Unfortunately, at this very moment, someone brought up Liang Shaojie's matter again.
Because there were many guests this year, the Jiang family girls served guests at two-person tables.
Jiang Segu was with Jiang Youhui, and the people at their table...
Looking at the Song sisters and Princess Baole, who shouldn't be at this table, Jiang Segu felt like he was running into a ghost even while wearing a Taoist robe!
Princess Baole already harbored resentment towards Jiang Segu because of what had happened before, and with the Song sisters stirring things up, she naturally wouldn't miss the chance to mock Jiang Segu!
"Jiang Segu, I've heard that you used to follow men around like a shadow. How come people are blind now, and you've become as ruthless as a snake? A woman like you who only cares about profit, who would dare to marry you in the future?"
Zeng Baozhu was eccentric by nature and wanted to embarrass Jiang Segu, so she raised her voice very high, hoping that everyone could hear her!
When Jiang Segu saw the Song sisters and Zeng Baozhu getting mixed up together, she had anticipated this scene. So when everyone's eyes were on her, she was not flustered at all, nor did she rush to speak up to refute. She also wanted to see what new words Zeng Baozhu could come up with!
Seeing that she didn't speak but just smiled at her, Zeng Baozhu was annoyed and said fiercely, "If you don't speak, does that mean you admit that you are a vicious person? Or are you saying that you are going to marry that blind man, so you are not afraid of what people say?"
Just as Jiang Segu was about to reply, the old woman from the front yard arrived, glancing at Jiang Segu before speaking...
