I drank a lot of milk to calm down the shock. The whole family was waiting for me to rescue them.

Chapter 48 Everyone has their own agenda
  Nanny Zhang entered Wen's house, and the warmth inside drove away the chill from her body.

Wenshi was leaning on the small couch, and Zheng Xiulan was leaning against her. She didn't know what she was talking about, but she seemed intimate enough anyway. Qiao Muyang sat aside and joked with them, still holding a book in his hand.

Nanny Zhang's intrusion broke their "family" and harmonious scene.

Wen Shi frowned: "What's the matter?"

Aunt Zhang changed her attitude of baring her teeth and claws in front of Yuanxiang, walked to Mrs. Wen and bent down with a flattering look on her face: "When I get back to the old lady, the little girl named Yuanxiang came to report that she has something to tell you, it seems. It’s about the Marquis and the Crown Prince.”

"It's just that I think this little girl's words are exaggerated. How could a second-class maid like her know about the affairs of the Marquis and the Crown Prince?" Granny Zhang curled her lips with disdain.

There was no expression on Mrs. Wen's face, and she seemed to have the same idea as Granny Zhang. It was Qiao Muyang who spoke up.

"Mother Zhang, it seems inappropriate to distinguish between high and low. Since she has something important to report, let her come in first. What if there is something really important?"

He put down the book in his hand and looked at Wen with a sincere face: "Of course she has to make the decision whether to see her or not. Mu Yang is just a suggestion. I believe that my aunt will naturally make the decision!"

Wen Shi nodded repeatedly: "Mu Yang is right, I treat all the servants in the house equally. As the mistress, I naturally have to take care of their affairs. Aunt Zhang, please let Yuan Xiang in."

Yuanxiang had been waiting outside for a long time. The cold wind blew her whole body, but when she suddenly heard someone speaking for her, she naturally felt warm in her heart.

When she came in, she glanced at Qiao Muyang, who was speaking for her, and the latter smiled gently at her, making her hurriedly lower her head in shame.

Young Master Biao is indeed a talented person, I heard he is also good at studying!

Wenshi pursed her lips in displeasure. How could she not know what Little Hooves was thinking now?

Is it just that the young master cousin is what she wants?
  "Madoka!"

Wenshi sternly interrupted Yuanxiang's infatuation, which frightened her so much that she turned pale and subconsciously knelt in front of Wenshi: "Anne, Madam."

The smile on Qiao Muyang's face became deeper and deeper, but Yuanxiang's back was turned to him and she didn't see the flash of teasing in his eyes.

He stepped forward and put his hands in his hands to say good things to Yuanxiang: "Grandma, this little maid looks young and has an unstable temperament. Why should you argue with her?"

Qiao Muyang blinked at Zheng Xiulan, and she immediately reacted and directly pulled Yuanxiang up from the ground, pulling her to praise Wenshi: "Look at how standard this girl looks, she is not beautiful even if you scare her. Poor little thing, don’t be afraid, your old lady is cold-faced and kind-hearted, but she’s actually a very nice person.”

She is not as sensitive as Wenshi, and she never thinks there is anything wrong with this little girl coveting Qiao Muyang.

Her son is good-looking, and it is his ability to make these women devote themselves to him with just his face!
  She is still proud!
  She patted Yuanxiang's hand and said, "I heard from Grandma Zhang that you have something important to report. I wonder what it is?"

Yuanxiang glanced at the old lady and saw that her expression softened before speaking: "I just heard what the Marquis and the Crown Prince said. I heard..."

She hesitated a little, glanced at Zheng and her son, but did not say anything.

Qiao Muyang immediately poured a glass of warm water for her: "Is it cold? Take a sip of hot water and say slowly, don't treat me and my mother as outsiders."

Mrs. Wen raised her chin and ordered: "Speak."

"The Marquis said there is something in your yard, and asked the prince to check the people in the yard. Including..." Yuanxiang glanced at Qiao Muyang and lowered her head, bending down to emphasize, "Including Young Master Biao and Mrs. Zheng."

Wen was shocked, her handkerchief was twisted into a ball, but her face remained stable.

Qiao Muyang immediately thought of the mind-bending grass in the backyard. Didn't he have someone get rid of it?

Is there something wrong with those two boys?

Wenshi and Zheng Xiulan were a little panicked, but Qiao Muyang was still calm. He did a good job of concealing the matter about the heart-wrenching grass, and in the end he could only find out about the dead Nanny Qin. Since the person is dead, there is no proof of death, so you can say whatever you want!
  He gave Yuanxiang a stiff smile and said, "Don't worry about this, it's just that there are servants with unclean hands and feet in the yard. Thank you for coming to report, but Miss Yuanxiang doesn't seem to be a servant of Zhuyuan?"

Yuanxiang nodded: "This servant is served by Jingxinyuan."

Jingxinyuan? Qiao Muyang's heart moved, the smile on his face became brighter, and he became more enthusiastic about Yuanxiang.

This girl seems to have a lot of money, but she has only ambition and no brains, so she can be exploited. She is a person in Yun Jinglan's yard. If she can be owned by him, sooner or later she will become a knife that stabs Yun Jinglan and Su Junyao!

Sooner or later, he will take revenge on Wenyang Houfu for humiliating him!
  "No wonder I have never seen such a well-behaved and smart girl like you. Don't think too much, just go back. Mu Yang would like to thank Miss Yuanxiang here."

Qiao Muyang's polite look immediately struck Yuanxiang's heart.

Although the old lady promised to make her the prince's concubine, she was nothing more than a toy to be manipulated, and there was no comfort like being a decent lady.

The young master Cousin is not only talented but also young, just about the same age as her. And she felt that the way young master Ciao looked at her was unusual. If she could seize the opportunity...

Yuanxiang thinks that she is not inferior to a famous lady, but her background is a little worse. But she didn't sell herself to the Hou family, so she wasn't a lowly person. The young cousin is also white, so she must seize the opportunity. If she had attended the young master's high school and had the support of the Hou family, she could have been a serious official's wife!

When she thought about it, her mind became warm, and her eyes looking at Qiao Muyang were also fiery.

Two people with different agendas faced each other.

After Yuanxiang left, Qiao Muyang's face suddenly dropped. His eyes were disgusted and he felt sick.

The look in the slave's eyes really made him sick!

"Mother Zhang, throw away all the tea cups on the table!"

Grandma Zhang was stunned: "Master Ciao, these are jade brocade tea cups made by the official kiln. This is the only set produced last year. This is too..." What a pity!
  Qiao Muyang's eyes were cold: "Throw it away, disgusting!"

Nanny Zhang was startled by him, and with Wen's acquiescence, she bowed out with the jade brocade tea cup in hand.

When there were only three of them left, Wen asked nervously: "What if the Marquis asks us about this matter?"

Qiao Muyang comforted her: "As long as you don't let go, no one will dare to do anything to you! You just need to remember that in the past, Grandma Qin took care of everything in the Zhuyuan. She betrayed her master and embezzled the government money. She did it."

"As for how the heart-wrenching grass came from, only the ghostly Nanny Qin and her good daughter know!"

Wen Shi nodded and then thought: "Then it won't be traced to you, right?"

Qiao Muyang shook his head: "Don't worry, grandma, I'm still going to be the top scholar. My hands are cleaner than anyone else!"

"We can't keep that Yuanxiang!"

Wen was not sure how much she knew, so it would be better to kill her first!

But Qiao Muyang disagreed.

Wenshi was not happy: "Why?"

He smiled lightly, full of calculations: "Of course it has great uses! Whether she can get rid of Yun Jinglan depends on her!"
