At the end of March, Qingyan began to frequently patronize the new residence, and Fei Yanggu specially arranged for a carriage to pick up and drop off Qingyan every day.
Two days ago, Yin discovered that the warhorses had been drugged, and the mastermind was none other than the Eighth Prince.
"Little darling, Fourth Master found out? It really is Eighth Master?" Master Jue Luo couldn't believe it.
In front of outsiders, Eighth Master is gentle and refined, and rarely deals with people. Even if he does take action, it is usually in secret, or he asks Ninth Master or others to do it. He rarely takes action himself.
"Yes, Fourth Fourth has found out that the people in the stables are Eighth Master's men," Qingyan said helplessly.
At the Fourth Prince's doorstep, the horses almost got into trouble, which caused a lot of discussion. Everyone said that Yin must have offended someone to cause such a misfortune.
Some people saw Yin Zhi appear in front of Yin's carriage, and his expression was not good. Everyone guessed that it was Yin Zhi who did it.
While everyone was investigating, the situation took a fundamental turn, and Eighth Master's men came to light.
"You can't judge a book by its cover. Even your father once said that among the princes, the Eighth Prince was probably the least resourceful. Now, he has truly made a name for himself." Everyone was shocked by Yinsi's actions. His private behavior had always been kept strictly confidential.
"Hehe," Qingyan chuckled. Before, she had felt that Yinsi was definitely not someone to be trifled with. In the history of the Qing Dynasty, Yinsi had always opposed Yin, and in the end, he met such a fate.
"Let's talk about Qingming Festival first. All those wearing mourning clothes should wear silver ornaments!" Jue Luo Shi tidied up her jewelry and found that many of them had never been worn before.
"Mother, the silver ornaments are ready, and they should be finished in the next few days!" Qingyan said quickly.
"No need, Mother has plenty of jewelry here, you don't need to prepare anything this year," Jue Luo Shi quickly said.
Qingyan was stunned. Jueluo Shi always asked her for things and rarely said that she had enough!
"Mother, there's no need to be so frugal. Just give away what you don't need. You just need to wear new jewelry. Our family doesn't need to use the old stuff!" Qingyan advised.
Jue Luo shook her head: "No need, so much jewelry, it would be too conspicuous to just give it away!"
When Jue Luo looked at those headdresses made of the finest materials, she felt a great sense of regret.
At this moment, Qingyan realized that Jueluo Shi was genuinely refusing, and she wouldn't want to put her mother in a difficult position.
"Let's compromise. Qingming's jewelry is carefully chosen, and you can wear unused jewelry on other days?" Qingyan finally decided to use this method to solve the problem.
Jue Luo hesitated for a moment, then nodded directly.
"This is the last time. You should make more jewelry and stay by yourself. Your mother will rarely go out for social events!" Jue Luo said helplessly.
"Mother, what's going on?" Jue Luo Shi should be adored by the women, so why is she suddenly not going out to socialize anymore?
“Your father said that the Fourth Prince has established himself firmly in the court. If his maternal family pursues power too much, it may bring disaster to their noble daughter!” Jue Luo Shi also said that these were all arrangements made by Fei Yang Gu for Qing Yan.
"Mother, Father and the others don't need to be so careful. Fourth Prince will definitely be able to handle it!" Qingyan had great confidence in Yin.
“Little darling, I rarely interfere with their decisions. Why don’t you talk to your father directly?” Jue Luo Shi was not going to get involved in anything. “Since the Eighth Prince has already made the first move, you don’t need to worry about the Eighth Princess Consort.”
The Gioro clan always says that they are all equal now, and that the Gioro clan should not always be superior.
"Heh, who cares about the Eighth Prince's wife? She's also a secondary Prince's wife!" Qingyan sneered. "Although everyone is now a primary Prince's wife, the secondary Prince's wife's position is always a bit lower than that of the primary Prince's wife."
Qingyan sneered. The Eighth Princess Consort always overthinks things and doesn't realize her place.
"Alright, when you two meet, as long as you keep up appearances, that's fine. Don't worry too much about me." This was the first time Jue Luo Shi had told Qing Yan that he didn't need to worry about her when facing Jue Luo Shi.
"Mother, is this not good?" Jue Luo Shi is helping her maternal family. Many women in the family say that if a woman in a family is like Jue Luo Shi, that family will be blessed with good fortune.
"No!" Jue Luo resolutely refused Qing Yan's help; the problems of the Jue Luo clan were too great.
Since the arrival of the Eighth Prince's wife, their ambitions have grown even greater. The meager benefits from the Qingyan banquet are no longer enough to satisfy the Jueluo clan.
"Could it be that you were talked about when you went back?" Qingyan saw that Jueluo's face was not good and knew that Jueluo must have come to cause trouble.
Jue Luo sighed: "It's best to avoid contact with them. Before the New Year, I went there once, saying that the Eighth Prince's wife had something to ask me. When I got there, I found out that the Eighth Prince's wife had also gone there. She said she hoped that Linglong Pavilion could make the jewelry, and she didn't even plan to pay for the processing fee!"
Qingyan was stunned. No wonder Jueluo was very angry and emotionally unstable during that period. Sometimes, if they didn't pay attention to what they said, they would touch her sore spot.
"Next time, if someone makes an unreasonable request, just refuse it directly. We don't need to please them!" Qingyan looked down on the Eighth Prince's wife and always felt that there was something hidden in her words. She was always like this.
"Little darling, you don't need to worry about it. I know what to do," Jue Luo said bitterly.
At royal gatherings, Qingyan and the Eighth Prince's wife often met, and the two were at odds. Even the Jueluo clan heard about it, and the Eighth Prince's wife often provoked Qingyan.
“Mother, please take it easy. It’s normal for the Eighth Prince’s wife to provoke me. Which sister-in-law doesn’t scheme against each other?” Qingyan felt that Jue Luo’s worries were a bit excessive.
"The Eighth Prince's wife has gone too far. Aren't you going to fight back?" When Lady Jue Luo attended a gathering of women, many people told her that it was truly remarkable that Qing Yan had done so much, not only to take care of the Eighth Prince's wife but also to take care of the Jue Luo clan.
As these rumors circulated, the Jue Luo clan became even more unscrupulous. They believed that Qing Yan dared not do anything out of respect for the Jue Luo clan.
"It's not that we won't fight back, it's just not the right time yet, Mother. Don't listen to what people outside are saying. We need to broaden our perspective!" Qingyan laughed. Jue Luo Shi was just too concerned about what others thought!
Jue Luo sighed. She had been in a very bad mood since returning from the banquets those days, and was always sighing. Fei Yanggu and his two sons noticed this and asked her what was wrong. After they found out what Jue Luo was thinking, they burst into laughter.
"Alright, I can't argue with you." Jue Luo shook her head helplessly. "Next time someone dares to provoke us, just talk them back. There's no kinship between us and the Jue Luo clan!"
