Not long after the maid finished her cleaning duties and left, Peach Courtyard received a message from Pear Courtyard.
Xiao Hezi personally relayed the message to Jiaming: "Master, news came from the people in Consort Li's courtyard that they heard her shouting loudly in the room, 'Wang Xuezhen, it's her! She's not dead!' The others were too far away and the voices inside were too soft to hear clearly."
"I see," Jiaming said, not disappointed. She nodded and then pondered what Xiao Hezi had just said about Li's exclamation.
Speaking of which, she actually felt familiar with the name Wang Xuezhen.
Although she had a good memory and was sure she could remember who Wang Xuezhen was, a good memory meant she had a lot of information in her head, so it was difficult for her to recall Wang Xuezhen's memories from among her many memories.
Since I can't think of anything right now, let's analyze Li's exclamation. Maybe we can find a trigger for our memories from that sentence and remember Wang Xuezhen.
Li's exclamation, "It's her!" clearly shows that she knows Wang Xuezhen.
Besides, in Li's memory, Wang Xuezhen was still a dead person, which is why she exclaimed in the second half of the sentence, "She's not dead."
Jiaming muttered, "Wang Xuezhen, who is already dead."
After repeating it a few times, just like Li, a flash of inspiration struck her, and soon a memory flashed through her mind.
Wang Xuezhen, it turns out it was her!
Speaking of which, she got into the Fourth Master's harem thanks to Wang Xuezhen. Wang Xuezhen wanted to get into the Fourth Master's harem, so she drugged him when he went to the temple. However, things didn't go as planned. She didn't get what she wanted, but she ended up getting into the master's harem herself.
Not long after the Fourth Prince discovered her, she died in a fire. Unexpectedly, it was intentional; she escaped death in the fire. But she ended up in the backyard of the Eighth Prince's mansion.
Then she thought back to how the Eighth Prince's wife had fought against her and lost again and again. She had discussed it with Xiao Hezi before and thought that she had a way to save her life. At that time, she guessed that she had a life-saving medicine.
Now that I think about it, she was a time-traveling woman who was able to secretly drug the Fourth Prince and repeatedly escape unscathed from the Eighth Prince's wife's brutal methods. It's likely that she had drugs on her person, and those drugs might even be her cheat code.
I ruined her plans back then, so she must hate me to death. Therefore, she is also my greatest enemy. In addition, with those complicated drugs, I must strengthen my defenses even more.
"Little He, send more people to be planted in the Eighth Prince's mansion, especially in Wang's place."
The better you understand the other party's actions, the better you can guard against them. In short, it can be summed up in eight words: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
"This servant understands," Xiao Hezi quickly accepted the order, and then asked, "Master, do you want our people to retaliate?" Otherwise, why send so many people to Madam Wang's place in the Eighth Prince's mansion? If it's just for surveillance, the people sent before and not long ago should be enough.
“No,” Jiaming waved her hand and said, “Wang will be dealt with by Li and the others in the backyard. Let our people keep a close eye on things and send back more messages. Of course, if there is an opportunity and we are not in danger, we can also help Li and the others so that their actions against Wang can proceed more smoothly.”
"Yes, sir." Xiao Hezi accepted the order and left.
The next day, the weather was fine. Jiaming had been staying indoors all day for the first two months because of pregnancy complications. After her condition improved, she started going for walks in the yard.
But the scenery in Peach Blossom Courtyard was all the same, and after seeing it so many times, she became a little impatient. Today, she had another thought and wanted to go out of Peach Blossom Courtyard for a walk.
"Master, you should just walk around in our courtyard and not go out," Hongtao advised Jiaming worriedly.
Green Willow, who had just brought Jiaming the cloak, quickly chimed in, "Those women outside Peach Garden have ill intentions again, then it's dangerous..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiaming interrupted him, "Our trip to Peach Garden was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. How could those women have known about it beforehand? If they didn't know beforehand, how could they have planned to scheme against me? So there's no need to worry, we should be safe."
"But Master, they've also suddenly decided to plot against you." Hongtao was still worried.
Jiaming let Luliu fasten and straighten her cloak, her attitude clearly indicating that she was determined to go, no matter what Hongtao said.
However, to reassure Hongtao and Lvliu, she continued to explain, "Don't worry, they wouldn't dare. Even if they had designs on me, they would think it over again and again because of Master's consideration. By the time they've thought it over, our walk will be over."
Upon hearing this, Red Peach and Green Willow thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense. Since they couldn't persuade Jiaming otherwise, they let her have her way.
However, they secretly resolved to stay close to their master on this trip and not let anyone harm their master and young master.
When they left Peach Garden and encountered other people, Red Peach and Green Willow widened their eyes, tensed up, and closely protected Jiaming.
Jiaming knew exactly what they were thinking, and immediately felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Soon, after Jiaming took a walk, the other women in the backyard received the news that Guarjia had left Taoyuan.
Just as Jiaming had predicted, everyone wanted to make a move against her, but without a complete plan or prior preparation, they dared not act, fearing that impulsive actions would leave traces and give others leverage over them, especially the master's men.
Even if one manages to outmaneuver the Guarjia clan, the losses outweigh the gains.
Therefore, Jiaming's trip to relax went smoothly, and she sensed that the subtle glances some people gave her were no longer as dangerous as before.
Although she hadn't left Peach Blossom Courtyard for the past two months, there were still some spies planted there by others in the backyard. She could sense the subtle glances these people had given her earlier; they were extremely dangerous, clearly indicating that they would kill her at the first opportunity.
She thought about it for a moment and then roughly figured it out.
The people she allowed others to plant were all from the Fujin, Li Shi, and Hesheli Shi. Not long ago, they learned that they had been framed by Wang Xuezhen, a princess from the Eighth Prince's mansion. They were so angry that their hatred had shifted from themselves to Wang Xuezhen.
This indirectly proves that his previous calculations were feasible and had succeeded.
She estimated the time and returned to Peach Garden just as someone couldn't resist and decided to make a move to deal with her roughly.
The concubine who had been instigated to use brutal methods against her was disappointed when she learned that Jiaming had returned to Peach Blossom Courtyard.
