Although there were quite a few letters, with a translation pen, the translation speed was extremely fast. In less than an hour, Jiang Ling had translated more than half of the stack of letters on the table.
However, Jiang Ling stopped her work at this moment. She looked at the letters, studied them for a while, and finally decided to translate all the letters in about twenty days.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ling gathered all the letters together, pressed them down with a paperweight, stretched out her arms and deliberately showed a tired look before pushing open the study door.
"An... Anren!" The two maids who had been guarding the door greeted Jiang Ling in a flustered manner as soon as she came out.
Jiang Ling nodded and looked at the two girls, who were about the same age as her daughter, and asked, "What are your names?"
"Your servant is Lanting, your servant is Lanzhi!" The two maids answered with their heads bowed, still somewhat fearful.
Jiang Ling handed a letter to Lan Ting and said, "Lan Ting, do me a favor. Please deliver this letter to Ye Feng, the head constable of the Six Doors!"
Lanting carefully grasped the letter, nodded, and walked towards the door.
"Lanzhi, go and buy some milk pastries and jujube paste rolls!" Jiang Ling said to another maid.
Lanzhi glanced around and hesitated. Jiang Ling knew that the little girl was afraid that she would run away, so she quickly explained, "Go and call another maid over!"
Lanzhi nodded and immediately ran towards the side room. Soon after, two older-looking maids came over with Lanzhi.
"My lady!" the three bowed.
"This servant is Lanxin!"
"This servant is Lan Hua!"
The two gave brief self-introductions.
"Well, I just asked Lanting to deliver a letter for me. I suddenly have a craving for milk pastry and jujube paste rolls. I was thinking of asking Lanzhi to buy some for me, but Lanzhi seemed undecided, so I asked her to go find you two instead!"
Lanxin and Lanhua immediately understood Jiang Ling's meaning. Lanhua said to Lanzhi with a stern face, "You've already forgotten Lord Zhao's instructions as soon as he left? Hurry up and go! If you anger Lady An, be careful Lord Zhao will punish you severely!"
Lanzhi shuddered and immediately turned and ran towards the door.
Jiang Ling grinned as she looked at the orchid in front of her. "So, I'm the villain now?"
As Jiang Ling pondered, Lan Hua smiled obsequiously and said, "Madam, don't worry, Lord Zhao instructed us before he left to take good care of you. Rest assured, when Lan Zhi returns, I will have a good talk with her!"
"Well, now Jiang Ling is in an even worse predicament. She grumbled without saying anything and turned back to the study."
Back in her study, Jiang Ling aimlessly browsed the system shop. She needed to find something to amuse herself, otherwise she would be bored to death for the next seventeen or eighteen days.
After searching around without finding anything she particularly liked, Jiang Ling sat down in a chair, feeling somewhat dejected, and began to rack her brains about how to get through the next few days.
On the other side, just after Grandma Jiang finished asking Jiang Ling her question, Jiang Zhitang and Madam Ma also came out from the next bedroom.
Especially Ma, ever since she was frightened last time, she has been afflicted with a condition where she would instinctively tremble whenever she saw a man dressed in such fine clothes.
This time, his face was even more frighteningly pale.
"Brother...brother, who were those people who came just now?" Jiang Zhitang asked in surprise.
"Oh, it's nothing, they're just looking for my older sister!" Jiang Zhishan was too lazy to explain to Jiang Zhitang, so he just said a few words to get rid of them.
"Oh, that scared me to death! Thank goodness they weren't looking for us!" Upon hearing this, Ma patted her chest in relief.
Seeing Madam Ma's behavior, Old Mrs. Jiang glared at her in annoyance. "If you're not feeling unwell, get up and do some work! How come you've become so pampered after just a few days in Shengjing? Do you expect me, this old man, to do all the housework?"
Ma was somewhat indignant, but ultimately didn't vent her anger. She touched her stomach, her eyes darted around in their sockets, and she probably frowned and let out a soft "ouch."
"Wife! Wife! What's wrong!" Jiang Zhitang was startled by Ma's appearance. He grabbed Ma and asked anxiously.
"Husband, my stomach is a little upset, please help me back!" Madam Ma frowned, looking like she was in great pain.
This was Jiang Zhitang's first time being a father, so he had no idea about Madam Ma's little scheme. He nodded repeatedly and helped Madam Ma back to her bedroom.
"Pah! You lazy, greedy, and cunning little rascal! Let's see how you'll keep up the act after you give birth!" Old Mrs. Jiang spat at Madam Ma's departing figure and cursed under her breath.
To avoid seeing her and getting annoyed, he turned around, went out the door, and headed towards Qin Lingrui's estate.
Inside the imperial city, the Empress Dowager's expression was very serious.
Looking at Gu Aqi and the Third Prince kneeling on the ground, they could not calm down for a long time.
"Third son, what did you promise me again? It hasn't been that long! You and that Lady Jiang have become good friends? Where am I supposed to put my old face?" The Empress Dowager slammed her phoenix chair down heavily after she finished speaking.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This matter has nothing to do with Ah Shun..."
"You country bumpkin, you're just a country bumpkin with no manners. Do you think it's your place to speak? Shut up!" The Empress Dowager glared at Gu Aqi, who was about to explain, and scolded him.
Upon seeing this, He Shunsu immediately defended Gu Aqi.
“Empress Mother, this has nothing to do with A-Qi. It's all my fault. Why are you taking your anger out on her? Over the years, she's raised the child alone and has suffered a lot…”
"Enough! Are you trying to anger me to death? You still have to mention this bastard even now?" The Empress Dowager was probably blinded by rage, and she even cursed He Shunsu to the point of being a bloodthirsty wretch.
