As the maids around Jiang Nian, Yulan and Yuejian are now very respectable. Of course, this respectability belongs more to Yulan.

Jiang Nian heard this and waved his hand calmly: "Go ahead, let Yue Jian bring it to me, you go and rest for a while."

When Yulan heard her say this, she smiled and replied: "My lady is so generous, I don't feel tired at all. It is my blessing to serve you."

Jiang Nian had been complimented a lot recently, and he had gotten used to it, so he stopped talking.

Yulan tactfully took the plate of osmanthus cake and walked out.

She closed the door quietly and just as she turned around, she saw Yuejian standing in the corridor, looking over here.

Yulan immediately walked past Yuejian with a smug look on her face, holding the osmanthus cake in her hand.

When the maids who were cleaning the courtyard saw Yulan bringing out something, they all ran up to her and chattered nicely: "Sister Yulan, what is this? Osmanthus cake, it looks delicious..."

"Sister Yulan is really respectable. I gave you all the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes that the young lady likes."

"That's right. Don't you see what Sister Yulan is capable of? In our courtyard, Sister Yulan is this! Unlike some people, she stays with the young lady the longest, so what..." The little maid holding a broom said while giving a thumbs up, and did not forget to glance at Yuejian in the corridor.

The other maids also nodded in agreement: "Yes..."

Yue Jian, who was standing in the corridor, heard their conversation clearly.

Although she pretended to be angry, she was calm inside. She was so used to hearing this kind of talk that she could tell it was a lie. Whoever wanted to say it could say it!

In short, she no longer has to worry about her mother's medicine money every day, and she is very content.

The maid's words seemed to please Yulan. She took the bitten piece of osmanthus cake from the plate and said with a smile, "Here, a reward for you." After that, she carried the plate and walked towards the maid's room.

The little maidservant was immediately overjoyed and kept thanking her behind her back: "Thank you, Sister Yulan, thank you, Sister Yulan..."

The other maids all looked at her with envy, their mouths watering...

Yue Jian watched Yulan enter the house, then walked towards the small kitchen.

She heard what Jiang Nian just said outside.

But she waited for such a while, but Yulan didn't tell her anything. It was obvious that this person was deliberately hiding something bad from her so that she could be punished by the second lady.

Since she heard it, she couldn't do as Yulan wished.

After the guests had been pleased, Qin and Liu stood on the steps outside the gate of the Duke's Mansion, one on the left and one on the right, with just the right smiles, to see off the Jiang family members who had come today.

After everyone had left, Liu, supported by Madam Zhao, rubbed her sore face, and said to Qin, "Sister-in-law, I'll go back first. The Duke ordered the courtyard for my aunt to live in, so I have to clean it up quickly. I can't let her wait for us, right?"

Qin Shi was a little upset when she saw her smug look, but she knew she couldn't act rashly.

What's more, there was another old hag, Jiang Baozhi, in the mansion who disliked her.

She held Danyu's arm and replied with a fake smile: "Go ahead."

Bitch!

It would have been better if she didn't mention it. As soon as she mentioned the yard, Qin immediately became furious.

The old woman said that the yard she lived in before was in disrepair and unsuitable for living. Besides, she was used to living in the mountains and liked a spacious and bright yard, preferably one that was quiet.

If you like quietness, why come back? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to stay in the villa on the mountain?

At worst, isn't there more space at the village down the mountain? It's not crowded even if you run horses there.

She really has the nerve to ask for it.

Jiang Zhou was the same. He would not choose any other courtyard, but had to choose the one with the best location and layout in the mansion.

She had her eyes on this yard a long time ago.

She had already planned that when Jiang Huai grew up and had his own yard, she would give this yard to him.

At that time, she, as a mother, would spend some money to expand the yard and build a small garden, and it would be complete. Even if Jiang Huai got married in the future, he would not have to move the yard, but could get married directly in this big yard.

Now, all her plans were disrupted by this old hag who suddenly returned.

The more Qin thought about it, the angrier she got. Suddenly, she had a headache: "Hiss~"

"Madam, what's wrong with you? Would you like to ask Doctor Qin to come and see you?" Danyu noticed that something was wrong with her and asked cautiously.

Qin waved her hand: "Nothing. Has the old lady returned to Fu'an Hall?"

"To reply to Madam, the old lady has already returned to Fu'an Hall and has gone to bed."

Qin nodded when she heard this. She closed her eyes and sighed deeply. When she opened them again, her eyes had regained their former shrewdness: "Let's go, help me back to Chunhuayuan first."

The old woman had only been back for half a day, but she was already so angry that she had a headache. She had to go back to the yard to calm down and think of some countermeasures to deal with the future.

It looked like the old woman was determined to come back and live here. As her niece-in-law, I couldn't chase her away, or I would be labeled an unfilial elder.

As the wife of a duke, she also had the title of second-rank chaste lady conferred by the late emperor. If she could be raised in the duke's mansion, it would not only show the respect of everyone in the duke's mansion to the royal family, but also bring more benefits to the children in the mansion, especially the young ladies in the mansion.

Those rumors that arose because of Jiang Nian a few days ago will no longer be mentioned in the future.

It is also good for her daughter Yin'er.

On the way back to Chunhuayuan, Qin seemed calm, but in fact, she had already analyzed thoroughly in her mind the fact that Old Madam Qi could be raised in the Duke's Mansion.

For Qin, Old Lady Qi was like a boat that went with the flow in terms of Jiang Yin's reputation, but in terms of being her enemy, she was like a sword hanging over her head.

From now on, she has to keep her eyes on the sword at all times, for fear that it might fall and pierce through her body.

Jiang Luo supported Old Lady Qi and walked towards the backyard. Along the way, he met several groups of servants from the mansion, all of whom were hurriedly carrying things and walking in one direction.

"Little girl, you should know who I am, right?" Old Mrs. Qi asked casually as she walked slowly, as if recalling the differences between the things in front of her and those decades ago.

Jiang Luo had a good impression of her, no matter who she was or what she had done. But today, among so many people in the ancestral hall, only the old lady Qi in front of him spoke up to defend her.

Even though Mrs. Qi had ulterior motives, she didn't hurt her.

She was a person who was stupid and unaware of it in her previous life. She was cowardly, incompetent, blind and heartless.

If she were to live her life again, she would only recognize people who were good to her, people who treated her well from the bottom of their hearts.

As long as this person is good to her, he is a good person.

Even if this person is notorious for his evil deeds in the eyes of the world, she will still think he is a good person.
