My husband married a concubine? I turned around and married the cold prince.

Seeing that Manager Zhang had left, Piaoyun walked over with the osmanthus cake.

"Miss, Manager Zhang treated you like that before, and yesterday, his son even tried to kidnap you. Why are you still so soft-hearted?" Bo Yun was very puzzled.

This matter should be handled impartially, and Manager Zhang should be severely punished to see if he dares to go against the young lady again in the future.

She remembered clearly the situation in the Marquis' Mansion where Steward Zhang and those stewards had caused trouble.

"Manager Zhang is smart and capable. Although he is a bit treacherous, he has a weak spot. As long as I can use it, it will definitely be a great weapon."

Although An Qingqian secretly hated what Manager Zhang had done before, between making an enemy and finding a loyal person, she naturally chose the former.

Besides, after one night, Zhang Yizhou must have learned his lesson accordingly.

She believed that with Manager Zhang's ability, he would definitely give her unexpected surprises.

An Qingqian took the cake and tasted it. "Boyun, has Liu Yiyi been active recently?"

Liu Yiyi has been too quiet recently, and An Qingqian almost forgot about her existence.

"Liu Yiyi has been staying at Mingde Courtyard the whole time. She is as obedient as a kitten and has not made any movements. I guess it is because her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it is not convenient for her to move or walk."

An Qingqian had previously ordered that people be sent to closely monitor Liu Yiyi. Although Bo Yun did not understand, he still followed An Qingqian's orders and sent people to keep an eye on the situation over there.

"No movement?" An Qingqian narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard that. Would Liu Yiyi be so obedient?

"That's right, there was no movement." Bo Yun nodded affirmatively.

"No, Boyun, you should rearrange the people and monitor the situation over there." An Qingqian shook her head. There was no way Liu Yiyi would be so obedient.

"Miss, do you mean to say that you suspect Xiaosang has been bribed by Liu Yiyi?" Bo Yun opened his eyes wide and spoke in surprise.

"Go and have a look."

At noon, Bo Yun came to report that Xiao Sang had indeed been bribed by Liu Yiyi. On the surface, she was still passing messages to them, but in fact, she was doing all this according to Liu Yiyi's instructions.

"Miss, I didn't expect Xiao Sang would dare to betray us." Bo Yun was extremely angry. She originally thought that An Qingqian was overthinking.

Who knows, she saw with her own eyes that Liu Yiyi told Xiao Sang what message she would convey to them next.

The news Xiao Sang brought back was exactly the same as what Liu Yiyi said.

"People die for money, birds die for food. Maybe Liu Yiyi gave her enough benefits." She was not surprised by this result.

Liu Yiyi's methods are not simple. She probably realized long ago that Xiao Sang was the person she arranged to go there, so it is normal for her to bribe her to become her own person.

"Just send someone to keep an eye on them again. Remember not to alert them. Xiao Sang will still be useful in the future."

"Yes, Miss, I understand." Bo Yun nodded.

"By the way, miss, yesterday afternoon the housekeeper said that in two days, someone from Zhang's family will be coming over, so please make preparations and receive them." Bo Yun suddenly thought of what happened yesterday.

After An Qingqian came back yesterday, she went to bed early and didn’t know about this matter yet.

"Zhang's maiden family?" An Qingqian murmured to herself.

Yes, it's this time.

In the previous life, someone came from Zhang’s family. They were Zhang’s sister-in-law Huang and her daughter Zhang Qingsha.

Zhang's parents' family were just ordinary merchants, and they had little contact for many years.

Among the four classes of people, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the lowest.

Zhang was always worried that her mother's family was a merchant family and that it would bring shame to her son, so she seldom interacted with them.

Every year, some silver is sent over to appease the Zhang family.

After the Zhang family received the money, they naturally stopped coming here and had nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion.

Moreover, Zhang's younger brother Zhang Zichuan, relying on his nephew being the Marquis of Lin'an, did many absurd things to oppress the people, but each time he was secretly suppressed by Zhang and never exposed.

Huang is insidious and cunning, and despises the poor and loves the rich.

The reason they came here this time was because Zhang Qingsha was about to reach the age of marriage. After discussing with Huang, Zhang Zichuan decided to send Zhang Qingsha to the Marquis' Mansion, hoping to use the relationship of the Marquis' Mansion to marry Zhang Qingsha to a powerful family.

In her previous life, on the first day Zhang Qingsha arrived at the Marquis’ Mansion, she was dazzled by the wealth and luxury here, and she secretly fell in love with her cousin Xue Wanxian.

At Huang's request, Zhang also held a grand coming-of-age ceremony for Zhang Qingsha.

The purpose is naturally to hope that a wealthy family will take a fancy to Zhang Qingsha and provide more help to his son Xue Wanxian.

Zhang Qingsha knew that her aunt looked down on her and didn't want her to be with Xue Wanxian.

So, on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, Zhang Qingsha secretly drugged Xue Wanxian so that everyone could see Xue Wanxian forcing her, and she stayed in the Lihou Mansion because of this.

At that time, due to health reasons, she was no longer in charge of the affairs of the mansion, but she was still clear about these things.

Liu Yiyi didn't expect that someone would snatch her away, and she was worried that Zhang Qingsha, with the help of Zhang, would seize her position in the future.

He decided to go all out and poison Zhang Qingsha directly, and then put the blame on himself.

It was precisely because of this incident that Xue Wanxian acquiesced to Liu Yiyi giving him a chronic poison in an attempt to kill him.

If she had the chance to do it again, she wouldn't be so stupid again.

"Boyun, go tell the housekeeper to have the people down there clean up a yard and let them stay when they arrive."

"Yes."

Sure enough, five days later, Huang brought Zhang Qingsha to the Marquis' Mansion.

"Miss, they are here. There are four people in total, Zhang Zichuan's wife Huang, daughter Zhang Qingsha, a nanny and a maid." Bo Yun reported the situation to An Qingqian in time.

"Okay, I understand." An Qingqian nodded. It seemed that some things had not changed, just like in her previous life.

Huang and Zhang Qingsha had been looking around since they entered the gate of the marquis's mansion.

"Wow, they are indeed a wealthy family. This mansion is so beautiful." Zhang Qingsha looked left and right. It was so beautiful that she could hardly take it all in.

Aunt Qiu and the maid Xiaofang also stared at the things in front of them, looking at them constantly, with amazement flashing in their eyes.

Huang was fine. Although she was also looking at everything around her, she was not as exaggerated as Zhang Qingsha, Aunt Qiu and Xiaofang.

The little maid who led the way looked at them with disdain on her face, but when she thought of their identities, she said nothing.

Several people walked straight into the front hall.

Huang and Zhang Qingsha sat stiffly on their chairs, and soon someone came up to serve them tea and snacks.

"Wow, mom, look, these snacks are so exquisite!" Zhang Qingsha stared at the pastries on the table with eyes wide open, her eyes shining.

She originally thought that their lives were already very good, and she had eaten a lot of good food and seen many treasures.
