When Jiang Yuwei saw that Mrs. Tian had left, she put down her broom, sat next to Aunt Ning, took Aunt Ning's hand and said:

"Aunt, I shouldn't have said this, but the head of the village let you do it, and Ning Chen and Ning Qiu are both obedient children. If you can't distinguish right from wrong, your family will be torn apart by these bad-hearted relatives sooner or later. Do you really want to watch Ning Qiu and Ning Chen stay in this small place of Ningjia Village for the rest of their lives, just like you and the head of the village, farming and raising ducks, and do that for the rest of their lives?"

Aunt Ning hurriedly shook her head after hearing this:

"I don't want to. I hope they can have a bright future and go out."

Jiang Yuwei patted Aunt Ning's hand and said with a smile:

"You are their mother, of course you wish them the best, but others may not. For example, this old lady Tian has bad intentions. Are you willing to let her control you? If she makes a scene tonight, and Aunt Zhou's family really keeps Ning Wu and Ning Qiu in Ningjia Village, is this the result you want?"

Aunt Ning lowered her head and sighed:

"I didn't want this to happen. It was my sister. She insisted on pulling me over to reason with her. I, I couldn't stop her."

Jiang Yuwei patted Aunt Ning on the back and said with a smile:

"Do you remember how I threatened her with a broom just now? If she comes to your house to make trouble again, just kick her out without saying a word. Who does she think she is? She wants to be the master of your house. If you are afraid of her, she will get more and more arrogant. If you make trouble once without caring about it, I guarantee that she will not dare to come to your house again!"

After hearing this, Ning Qiu hurriedly sat down next to Aunt Ning, took her hand and said:

"Mom, Sister Yuwei is right. If she dares to come to our house to cause trouble next time, you should deal with her like this. We are about to leave. If you can't stand up at home and always let others bully you, how can you let me leave with peace of mind?"

Aunt Ning heard what her daughter said and said with tears in her eyes:

"Ning Qiu, I know. I was wrong before. From now on, I will learn from your sister Yuwei and drive out all those bad-hearted relatives. We will just live our own life."

Seeing that her mother had finally figured it out, Ning Qiu quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

Aunt Ning smiled and said:

"Okay, I've also delivered the dry food to you. I'm going back now, you guys should pack up now."

After saying that, Aunt Ning got up and left. Ning Qiu was reluctant to let her go and walked to the gate of the courtyard and watched for a long time before returning to the courtyard.

Jiang Yuwei looked at Aunt Zhou and said:

"Aunt Zhou, I wanted to come and see if you have finished your work. I'll help you."

Aunt Zhou waved her hands and said:

"I'm done with my work, Yuwei. Thanks to you for coming here tonight. Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to reason with this old lady Tian."

Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:

"Now that you are done with your work, you should rest early. You don't have to be nice to people like Mrs. Tian in the future. I will go back first if everything is fine here. I will go back and discuss it. We should try to set off tomorrow morning. The longer the night, the more troubles we may encounter."

Aunt Zhou nodded and said:

"Okay, Yuwei, you decide on the arrangements, we'll all follow your instructions."

Jiang Yuwei said goodbye to Aunt Zhou and returned to the courtyard. At this time, Aunt Wang and Daya had prepared the dry food and baked the dried meat. Ning Daya was packing the dried meat with Ning Wan.

Jiang Yuwei went to the backyard to check on the sausages again. They were almost smoked. Jiang Yuwei went to the front yard and called Ning Huaizhi and Ning Zixuan to replace Yun Qing and Ning Zhao for a while.

Jiang Yuwei put away the dried steamed buns, flatbreads and dumplings and placed them in the space, leaving only three to five days' worth of food to carry with her.

Seeing that the dried meat was packed, Jiang Yuwei hurriedly said to Daya and Ning Wan:

"Go back to your room and have a good rest. We will set off early tomorrow morning."

Then Jiang Yuwei looked at Liu and signaled her to go back to her room and sleep.

Seeing that everyone in the yard had gone back to sleep, Wang Ma walked up to Jiang Yuwei and whispered:

"Yuwei, are we leaving tomorrow?"

Jiang Yuwei nodded and said:

"I have arranged everything on my side now, and we have also bought everything we need for the journey. I think we don't need to delay any longer, lest we have more troubles."

After hearing this, Wang Ma nodded and said:

"Yes, let's leave early so that we can get to the capital earlier. I'm really worried that the princess won't be able to hold on until we get back. I'll go and call Chen Po and the others to set off early tomorrow morning."

Jiang Yuwei nodded, and just as she turned around to go into the house, Wang Ma grabbed her arm and whispered:

"Well, Yuwei, actually I shouldn't say this to you, but I'm really uneasy in my heart. I think you have been in Ningjia Village for so long, you know the temperament of this young master better, and you also know Sun and Xu Qianqian better. I don't trust anyone else, so I can only speak to you."

Jiang Yuwei turned to look at Wang Ma and said with a smile:

"Auntie Wang, just ask whatever you want to ask. I can tell you everything I know."

Seeing this, Wang Ma pulled Jiang Yuwei to sit down at the stone table and spoke worriedly:

"Yuwei, you know that the most important thing for us in Prince Jing's Mansion is our reputation. Sun is fine, at least she is innocent, but Xu Qianqian is really not presentable. I'm afraid that if I bring her back like this, the princess won't be able to bear it."

Jiang Yuwei naturally understood what Wang Ma was thinking, so she followed Wang Ma's words and spoke:

"Wang Mama, I know you're stuck in the middle, but you don't have to worry too much. Xu Qianqian and Ning Chunlin haven't gotten married yet. Even if Xu Qianqian follows us to the capital, it won't be legal for her to enter the palace. When the time comes, just find her a small courtyard to live in first, and then make plans later. Maybe after Ning Chunlin sees the world and arrives at the palace, he won't be interested in Xu Qianqian anymore."

After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, Wang Ma suddenly understood and nodded with a smile:

"Okay, okay, this is a good idea, but Sun's status is not worthy of the title of the principal wife. If the princess brings her to the banquet later, won't it be embarrassing?"

As she spoke, Mother Wang looked at Jiang Yuwei with some concern, waiting for her to give her some advice.

Jiang Yuwei now felt that the Queen's mother was really worrying too much. She was a loyal servant, and she was indeed very loyal to the princess, but she always wanted to make decisions privately without asking her master's questions about his affairs, which was indeed crossing the line.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuwei smiled faintly:

"It is an unchangeable fact that Sun is Ning Chunlin's principal wife, and she also gave birth to a daughter for Ning Chunlin. You can't drive her out even if you want to. You can't let the descendants of the palace wander around outside. Besides, Wang Ma, you don't have to worry too much about things that haven't happened. Didn't you say that the princess is not in good health, so how can she have the energy to attend a banquet?"

Jiang Yuwei stood up and looked at Wang Ma and continued:

"If the masters in the palace really don't like Sun's behavior, they will definitely have ways to deal with it. They can just marry Ning Chunlin a decent wife, or marry a few more obedient concubines to suppress Sun's arrogance. In any case, these are not things we should worry about. If you have nothing to do, you should rest early. You have to get up early tomorrow to travel."
