Ye Zhen received the reward and handed it over to the steward of the Marquis's residence, instructing him to use the money to distribute porridge at the city gate.
She herself quietly slipped into Ye Wantang's room.
Ye Wantang has not had a comfortable time these past few days. Although she was released from confinement due to the arranged marriage, the two old nannies keep a close eye on her and make her learn all sorts of rules.
Only at night can one catch one's breath.
"Once my wish comes true, the first thing I will do is kill these two old shrewish women, and then tear Ye Zhen to pieces."
She rubbed her swollen knees and cursed under her breath.
The person I hate the most is still Ye Zhen.
Tan Ge hurriedly said, "What Miss says is true, but for now you have to make do. We'll talk about everything after you enter the Prince Ning's residence."
Having finally seen a turn of events, she was afraid that Ye Wantang would mess things up again, so she coaxed her, "Once you're in a high position, you can move whoever you want."
Ye Wantang knew in her heart that she had to endure it, but she complained aloud, "Why does the Empress dislike me? I haven't even disliked Prince Ning yet..."
She launched into another tirade of complaints, and Tan Ge could only gently soothe her. After a long while, Ye Wantang finally vented her frustrations and went to the bathroom with Tan Ge's help.
Ye Zhen emerged from behind the curtain.
He poured the medicinal powder into the warm tea on the stove and then leaped onto the roof.
After Ye Wantang finished washing up and drank the water, she left.
Upon arriving at the Marquis's residence, she saw Xie Tingzhou waiting for her. "You went to the General's residence?"
Ye Zhen nodded, "Let her try the medicine that Wang used last time."
Ye Wantang is morally corrupt and looks down on others. Wait until she vomits in public, then we'll see how she manages to marry into the Ning Prince's mansion.
Xie Tingzhou rubbed her head and said, "We're going to the Imperial Estate to escape the summer heat the day after tomorrow. I've prepared a few outfits for you."
In the shadows, Marquis Zhongyong curled his lip.
He's been his father for years, but I've never seen him prepare anything for him. What a bastard who forgets his father for the sake of a pretty face.
However, he was inspired and had the embroiderers in the mansion make several summer clothes and cloaks for Cui Yihuan overnight.
He proudly picked up the cloak embroidered with orchids, saying, "The scenery at the Imperial Estate is beautiful, and the night view is also extremely nice. It's just a bit chilly at night, so you'll have to bring this cloak with you."
This summer retreat will be accompanied by officials of high rank from the court, and he will naturally take Cui Yihuan with him.
But Cui Yihuan said, "My grandmother is seriously ill. The doctor has told us to prepare for her funeral. The Cui family will all stay in the capital, and Minister Cui also asked me to stay."
Although I'm not close to them, it's not appropriate for me to go out for sightseeing at this time.
Most importantly, during her visits to Mrs. Cui, she discovered that her symptoms were the same as Mrs. Cui's.
She suspected that Cui Yihuan's biological mother had been poisoned to death.
Marquis Zhongyong was worried, but Cui Yihuan insisted that although she was Lou Tinglan's soul, she still had Cui Yihuan's memories and emotions.
She wanted to find out the truth about this.
Marquis Zhongyong had no choice but to comply and personally went to the Wang family to ask the old lady Wang, who was staying in the capital, to take care of her.
Before they knew it, the day arrived for everyone to set off.
The imperial carriage led the way, followed by a long, seemingly endless procession. The group didn't arrive until the afternoon.
Amidst the chaos and confusion, no one noticed a slender woman sitting on a distant hillside.
Xie Jinyao looked at the commotion outside the royal estate, her eyes filled with hatred. If it weren't for Ye Zhen and the others, she would have been one of those people in the commotion.
She remains a figure surrounded by admirers.
"Mingyue, your injuries haven't healed yet, let me carry you back."
The burly man behind her asked cautiously.
He was the son of the family where Xie Jinyao was hiding, and he admired her.
Xie Jinyao suppressed the hatred in her eyes and showed a hint of grievance, "Brother Shuanzi, you said you know people in the royal estate, right?"
