Chapter 304: Mutual suspicion, no peace
Chapter 304: Mutual suspicion, no peace
Lian'er nodded in agreement.
"Actually, it's good for Xu Yan'er to make a fuss like this." Dong Ling held her belly, the corners of her lips slightly raised, "Son, maybe we can see the lady tomorrow!"
"Puchi!" Lian'er couldn't help laughing out loud, "I finally know. Aunt is Madam's aunt."
Dong Ling had already walked to the table and sat down, continuing to embroider a purse for Ji Chuhe.
I'd better finish embroidering it tonight so that I can give it to my wife when I see her tomorrow.
"Auntie is originally the master's property. I was a slave in the Huaiyang Palace and signed a death contract. The prince is the master, and the madam is also the master. Why can't I be the madam's?" Dong Ling picked up the needle and thread and began to embroider and sew as she spoke.
"I will take the tea down and prepare some snacks for you. You must make this purse tonight."
"Go ahead, wait till I finish sewing it, just in time for supper."
……
Liao Yunfei hadn't slept yet, waiting for Lian'er to go outside to find out what was going on.
"Madam." Lian'er walked back quickly from outside.
"How is it?" Liao Yunfei asked anxiously.
"Everyone involved in this matter has been sold out today."
"Where's Feng? Did you kick her out?"
"Feng didn't even punish me!"
"Doesn't Ji Chuhe always mention rules? Why is he so biased towards Feng? Feng even beat someone up, but she hasn't been punished yet?" Liao Yunfei's voice rose several degrees!
"I also found it strange, so I went to find out. Feng really didn't gossip. On the contrary, Liu Ying was suspected of deliberately causing trouble for Feng."
There is no smoke without fire. Liao Yunfei felt that there must be someone behind this matter.
Since someone is interfering, there must be a purpose.
What is the purpose?
"With so many maids gathered together, talking so much, even if Feng didn't say anything, it would be hard for her to prove her innocence. How did Ji Chuhe find out?"
"Some of those maids confessed, and there are also maids who were cleaning and a maid who worked as a servant as witnesses."
"It seems that the people in the prince's mansion are complicated, and Ji Chuhe has ways to deal with them. There are also spies deployed by Ji Chuhe everywhere in the mansion." Liao Yunfei said with emotion.
It is really difficult to find any flaws in Ji Chuhe.
Such an opponent is like a stone in a toilet, smelly and hard!
"Didn't Feng beat Aunt Xu with a broom? How did Ji Chuhe get away with this?"
"She didn't hit him, she just wanted to scare Xu Yan'er. Feng even bit back, saying that Aunt Xu wanted to murder the prince's offspring, and she was disrespecting Aunt Xu because she was protecting the prince's offspring."
"Oh!" Liao Yunfei sneered, "This must be the idea of Aunt Dong. That fierce woman Feng can't say such a high standard of words! In this case, what is Feng's fault? She has made contributions!"
"Madam asked Feng to apologize to Aunt Xu, and the matter is over."
"That Aunt Dong is really a loyal and good dog raised by Ji Chuhe!" After Liao Yunfei said this, he thought about the matter carefully again, and suddenly his face changed.
"Why do I feel like this is directed at me?"
Lian'er was confused, "Madam Ce, what does this have to do with you?"
"Why is it okay? Think about it. If Feng Shi hadn't gotten out of this matter, she would have been kicked out of the mansion! If something happened to Concubine Dong again, wouldn't the child be harmed? If something happened to Concubine Dong and the child, Concubine Xu would be finished too! So many people were implicated at once. Who will be the final winner of this incident?"
Lian Er also understood, "Everyone will think that the winner is you, Madam!"
"Ji Chuhe is such a cruel person!"
"Madam, do you mean that Madam arranged these things? But she handled the matter, and nothing unexpected happened, and Madam was not implicated!"
"This is exactly what she wants! She wants me to be unable to explain myself! It seems like it has nothing to do with me. If this matter is spread to the Duke's Mansion, everyone will think it was me who did it! She is afraid that if the relationship between me and the Duke's Mansion eases a little, it will threaten her position in the future!"
"Otherwise, why can we investigate clearly even though there is so much thunder but little rain? Ji Chuhe also took the opportunity to clean up those old women. Maybe some of them were deliberately placed in the mansion!"
Lian'er nodded in agreement.
"Ji Chuhe, just wait! I will never let you go! There is still a long way to go, don't think that you can sit firmly on the position of the Crown Prince's wife! Let's wait and see!" Liao Yunfei said gritting her teeth.
……
After taking a bath, Ji Chuhe returned to his room.
Mianzhu immediately went forward to wipe her hair.
Nanny Ji brought over a bowl of soup.
"Mammy, I really can't eat anymore."
"This is made with fish paste. It doesn't take up any space in your stomach. Madam has become tired and thin these past few days, so you need to nourish your body." Nanny Ji filled a small bowl and handed it to Ji Chuhe.
Ji Chuhe had no choice but to take it and eat it together.
As soon as she saw her eat it, Nanny Ji immediately showed a relieved smile.
"Mianzhu, have all the materials for making spices in the house been cleared out?"
"Don't worry, ma'am, everything has been packed up."
"That's good."
Ji Chuhe would usually bring spices into the house. She hadn't seen Dong Ling for a long time, and she planned to have Dong Ling come over for dinner tomorrow, so she went to clean out all the ingredients in advance.
In the future, all the materials for making spices will be moved to the shop.
This way, I don’t have to avoid Dong Ling.
"Madam, did you deliberately keep the maid named Liuying?" Madam Ji asked softly.
"Yes, her body is innocent. I can't be sure who she belongs to. Let's keep her for now and don't alert the enemy."
"Does this matter really have nothing to do with Liao Yunfei?" Mianzhu asked curiously.
"So far, Liao Yunfei has not been able to win over the hearts of people like Liu Ying. Liu Ying is very smart. People like this are obviously cultivated."
"What purpose does Liu Ying's master behind the scenes want to achieve by making such a scene?"
"We don't know yet. The enemy is in the dark and has just started to deploy their moves. Let's take it one step at a time." Ji Chuhe can only passively defend now.
Fortunately, any move made by the enemy would expose some spies in the mansion, otherwise, nothing would be possible.
For example, these old women who are gossiping today.
She could also take the opportunity to clean out these people and replace their blood over and over again.
Once the blood has been almost exchanged, it will not be so easy for the enemy to cause trouble in her territory!
"Has the prince gone to Aunt Xu's place?" Ji Chuhe suddenly asked.
"No, I went to Aunt Dong's place, but I just sat there for a while and then left."
Ji Chuhe frowned slightly.
Did this incident really create a rift between the prince and Xu Yan'er?
