After being expelled from the palace, she returned with her cub and amazed the whole city

"Really? Sanlang must love me. My father was so annoyed by our affair that he didn't even give me a dowry."

"Let's go to bed first, and I'll ask Aji to bring you my little treasury later."

After a few sweet words and a night of rain in Wushan, Jiang Jiaojiao saw hope again.

Early the next morning, Wei Mingzhou said that he had to go to the office for something. As soon as Wei Mingzhou left, Aunt Chen sent a servant girl to bring Bizi soup.

"Just put it there and drink it after it cools down."

How could the servant girl not know Aunt Jiang's little thoughts? She remained motionless and looked aggressively: "Please Aunt Jiang, please don't embarrass the old slave. Aunt Chen ordered the old slave to serve Aunt Jiang before she can leave."

Seeing that there was no way out, Jiang Jiaojiao had no choice but to drink the Bizi Soup.

When the maid sent by Aunt Chen left, she began to vomit vigorously.

Seeing that she retched several times but nothing came out, Caiyan shouted anxiously from the side: "Miss, hurry up, poke your throat with your finger."

Caiyan's father is an alcoholic. She has seen her father drunk since she was a child, and he would cause vomiting when he felt uncomfortable.

Caiyan is also a miserable person. Her father is addicted to alcohol. Even if there is only one copper left at home, he wants to drink instead.

Her mother really couldn't bear that kind of life, and finally ran away with another man.

Her father said that he could not support her, so he sold Caiyan to Ren Yazi. She knew that her father sold her to buy wine.

Now she can only hope that the lady will be kind to her.

After listening to Caiyan's words, Jiang Jiaojiao actually vomited it out, including all the porridge she had just eaten.

"Ahem...water."

Aunt Chen saw that the servant woman didn't reply for a while, so she walked to the corridor and looked outside.

After a while, there were rapid footsteps at the door of the courtyard, and the servant woman walked in quickly.

"How is it? Did she drink it obediently?"

"Master, that little whore wanted to play tricks. The old slave watched her drink it before leaving. But when I left, she started to vomit. I don't know if this soup is useful?" the servant woman reported truthfully.

Aunt Chen's charming eyes were as cold as frost, and she shook the hand holding the handkerchief hard, "You keep an eye on Wangchunyuan for me every day, especially when that bitch's menstrual period is, you have memorized it for me. , if there is anything wrong, give her abortion pills.”

"Bitch, you ruined my son's good marriage, and you still want to give birth to the eldest son of a concubine. She has a good idea."

Aunt Chen only learned this morning that Jiang Jiaojiao had been demoted to a concubine.

Aunt Chen, who has been immersed in the concubine for many years, felt something was wrong yesterday and sent someone to inquire today. As expected, the Shangshu Mansion did not marry her as a legitimate daughter.

Yang was demoted back to the concubine's room, and her legitimate daughter became a concubine again.

"Oh! You said that my legitimate daughter married a lowly woman, and she is trying to be my son's concubine. You two should keep a close eye on her. If she dares to get pregnant secretly, see if I don't kill her."

Aunt Chen said and turned around to enter the house. As soon as she opened the door curtain, she turned back to the servant woman and said, "Don't let that bitch enter the courtyard. You'll get upset when you see her."

Aunt Chen was simply overthinking this. After a night of clouds and rain, Jiang Jiaojiao felt that she had another hold on Wei Mingzhou's heart.

She used her personal money to ask Caiyan to go out of the house to help her buy incense and rouge powder.

All her thoughts were spent on how to please Wei Mingzhou. The concubine was not allowed to see her elders unless ordered to do so. She understood this rule. Her mother-in-law was an aunt and was not easy to get along with, so she couldn't avoid it.

No one cared about serving tea or anything like that, and she didn't care either.

At noon, Aji delivered eighty taels of silver. Aji said that this was all of Wei Mingzhou's personal money. Jiang Jiaojiao almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

Before Jiang Jiaojiao had time to put away Wei Mingzhou's eighty-liang treasury, Caiyan came back with an anxious look on her face.

"Miss, it's not good. When I went to buy rouge, I heard others gossiping that the master wanted to renew his relationship, and the matchmakers were looking everywhere."

"It's over. When stepmother comes in, mother will never have a chance to make a comeback in her life, and I won't be able to rely on her."

Despair enveloped her like a dark night, spreading throughout her body, and like countless vines, entangled Jiang Jiaojiao until she couldn't breathe.

…

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were two heavy rains in Yannan.

The settled refugees saw the crops growing well, and everyone had hopes for life again.

Especially those whose children have gone to the military camp. With their children’s military pay in their hands, their lives are much better than before.

Today, Prince Yan's palace is packed with guests, all of whom are female relatives.

The eldest lady, Xiao Dai, was very busy today. The fifteen-year-old girl couldn't stand it anymore as she watched the pretty and dewy girls arriving one after another.

The mother-in-law said that today she would look for wives for the eldest brother and the second brother. The eldest brother was talented, so naturally he wanted to choose a girl who understood and respected him and was both talented and beautiful.

As the heir apparent, the second brother must find a dignified, virtuous and wise girl if he wants to inherit the title in the future.

Why! The girls who came today are like flowers in the garden, colorful and in full bloom. They are all good. Who will the eldest brother fall in love with?

I wonder if the second brother’s icy face will scare the pretty girls.

Ouch...headache.

Xiao Dai's task today was to entertain the girls. She rubbed her forehead, shook off her thoughts, and led the maids to greet them.

Only then did Xiao Dai realize the troubles and helplessness of her mother and concubine.

Ten-year-old Xiao Yun was like a soy sauce cook. One moment she would run to the princess to act coquettishly, and the next moment she would pick up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.

Princess Yannan watched her two daughters move quietly and said to Aunt Cai beside her: "I don't know whose temper Yun'er followed. When she stood still, she was still a reserved girl, but when she moved, she looked like a stray rabbit. ”

Aunt Cai looked at Xiao Yun who ran away with a doting look on her face and smiled: "I think the second young lady is lively and cute, and she looks most like the prince when he was a child."

"Speaking of the second son, I don't know if he can get away from the military camp today. The letter was sent, but he didn't reply. Alas! This son was raised in vain."

It would be fine if Xiao Jingzhao was not mentioned, but the princess's head hurt when she mentioned this son.

"Princess, don't worry. The girls will come to pay you respects in a while. You must observe carefully. I will send someone to invite the eldest young master to come."

Princess Yannan flicked her wide sleeves, "Go and come back quickly. With you by my side, I feel more at ease."

The princess sat at the top of the flower hall, and the breeze blew, and the gauze curtain fluttered.

The maids and servants placed cakes and fruits on the table in an orderly manner.

The roses in the garden were in full bloom, and the princess specially asked someone to pick some roses from the back garden to make flower cakes.

"Mother, please have a taste. Today's flower cake is especially delicious."

While she was distracted, Xiao Yun came in from nowhere and walked behind the princess, holding a flower cake that she had bitten into a crescent shape and was about to stuff it into her mouth.

The princess was startled by the hand that suddenly stretched out from behind her. She tilted her head slightly and the flower cake rubbed against her face.

"Yun'er, mother finally put on her makeup carefully and you ruined it. Don't be naughty. Go and see if your second brother is back?"

Princess Yan Nan was extremely beautiful. She was gorgeous even with light makeup on weekdays. Today, she only put on a little more makeup.

"I won't go. I'm afraid my second brother will glare at me. My eldest sister told me to pick a sister-in-law I like. Aunt Cai said that those beautiful sisters-in-law will come to pay respects to mother in a while. I'll watch here."

"If mother doesn't let me watch here, I'll chase them to watch. Don't say Yun'er is rude." The cute little girl was like a scoundrel, and her words were full of threats.
