When a married niece talks about her aunt behind her back, outsiders' first impression is not what the aunt did, but that the niece is ignorant.
Fang Zhi tapped Gan Tang's forehead and said earnestly, "You, be careful of what you say."
Gan Tang's eyes widened and he covered his mouth in fear.
Shang Tingli couldn't help laughing: "Don't tease her, she's about to burst into tears for you."
Gan Tang blinked.
Fang Zhi smiled and said, "This servant is doing this for her own good."
Shang Tingli shook his head: "Follow me to prepare the return gift."
Although the princess does not seem like a mean mother-in-law and seems to care about herself, no one can say for sure whether it is because the prince is around and the princess is just putting on airs.
So you have to prepare in advance. You can't wait until tomorrow to be caught off guard and then make hasty preparations just before departure.
Shang Tingli never lets anyone catch him in the act.
Both of them were her confidants and understood what she meant. Without asking any questions, they just followed her to the warehouse.
As the three of them stepped out of the hall, they saw the second-class maid Cai He in the courtyard hurried over. When she saw Shang Tingli, she quickly greeted him.
"This slave has met the Crown Princess."
Shang Tingli stopped and looked at her: "What's the hurry?"
Cai He replied, "Madame Wen from the princess's side came over and said she wanted to see you for something. I was just about to report it."
Shang Tingli nodded: "I understand, please let Madam come in."
Turned back to the house.
"Yes."
After a while, Cai He brought Nanny Wen to Shang Tingli.
Nanny Wen bowed politely: "This old servant pays respects to the Crown Prince's wife."
"Madam, please stand up." Shang Tingli extended his hand to help her and told Fang Zhi, "Bring tea to Madam."
Nanny Wen took the teacup handed over by Fang Zhi and said with a smile, "You are so polite, my princess."
Shang Tingli smiled and said, "Mammy is an elder by Mother's side, so it should be like this."
Nanny Wen smiled back and explained her purpose: "I am here on the orders of the princess to tell the Crown Prince's wife that the princess has already prepared your return gift tomorrow, so you don't need to worry about it."
Shang Tingli said, "Thank you for troubling me, mother."
Nanny Wen took a sip of tea symbolically and put down the cup. "Thank you for the good tea, Princess. I have delivered your message and will go back to report to the Princess."
Shang Tingli said: "Madam, please take care."
Aunt Wen bowed her head.
Shang Tingli gave Gan Tang a look.
Gan Tang followed, supported Nanny Wen with a smile, and handed her a bulging purse, "Thank you for your hard work, Nanny."
"Oh, this is my job, you can't do it again." Nanny Wen refused.
The two walked away a little, and I don't know what Gan Tang said to make Nanny Wen smile.
Fang Zhi and Shang Tingli looked at each other, undecided, and asked, "This...are you still going to the warehouse?"
Shang Tingli shook his head: "Since the princess asked Nanny Wen to make this trip, it must have been arranged. We don't need to waste our time."
Fang Zhi: “Yes.”
Shang Tingli was in a trance.
This shows that the princess is not a bad person.
……
Nanny Wen returned to Ronghua Hall happily.
When Wen Hui saw her coming back, she asked, "Have you made it clear with the Crown Princess?"
Nanny Wen smiled and replied, "Yes."
"Can you see anything?" Wenhui asked.
I was afraid that it was an accident that I heard the Crown Prince's wife's inner thoughts, and I might not hear them one day. They just met today, and it is impossible to see through a person just by a few words.
Nanny Wen thought about what she had seen and replied, "I think the Crown Prince's Consort is a good person."
Wen Hui was surprised: "Oh?"
Nanny Wen took out the purse that Gan Tang had stuffed in from her pocket and said, "He is a man who knows how to behave."
Wen Hui breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Nanny Wen comforted her, "Don't worry too much. After all, she grew up in a marquis's mansion. How bad can she be?"
Wen Hui shook her head, "Don't be so confident." She glanced at Nanny Wen, "They are both daughters of the Marquis' Mansion, how come one is betrothed to the Crown Prince and the other is only betrothed to a sixth-rank guard? My cousin is also a daughter, why does she have to marry so low?"
"..."
Nanny Wen couldn't answer. After all, she was not the wife of Marquis Yi Zhong and she didn't have a close relationship with her, so how could she know what the wife of the Marquis thought?
"No, you can't judge things by appearances."
Wen Hui asked, "What do you think of the Crown Prince's wife's words and actions? Is she a sensible person?"
Nanny Wen nodded and said yes.
"Every family has its own problems. I'm afraid that Pan is deliberately suppressing us. Otherwise, how can we explain why the Crown Prince's Concubine never leaves her house?"
Wenhui thought about what she had heard, that the child had never even touched a red jade bracelet in Marquis Yi Zhong's mansion, which showed how difficult his life was.
What is Yi Zhong Hou Mansion? Pah, a family of hypocritical people.
Nanny Wen hesitated and said, "I have seen Miss Yu many times at banquets, but I have never seen our Crown Prince's Consort."
After hearing this, she finally understood some things. Perhaps, as the princess said, the wife of Marquis Yi Zhong had intended to suppress the Crown Prince's wife.
Although the Crown Prince's wife is a cousin of the Marquis's family, her father was once the top scholar chosen by the late emperor. If he had not been exiled because of that incident, his rank would not be lower than the third rank now.
If Mr. Shang and Miss Yu were still alive, they would never let Mrs. Pan treat their only daughter like this.
When Nanny Wen thought of this, she suddenly remembered that the Crown Prince's wife didn't seem to have a dowry maid, so she said, "This Marquis's wife is not a good aunt. She is not even willing to give her niece a dowry maid."
It's really not kind.
Wen Hui was surprised: "Really?"
Madam Wen nodded heavily: "I will never lie to you."
Wen Hui sighed and said, "Please take good care of the child in the future and don't let anyone bully her."
"Yes."
……
Since there was no need to prepare return gifts, Shang Tingli had some free time and prepared to meet the people working in the courtyard.
"Call all the maids and servants in Xinyuan to see me."
As soon as I gave this order, I felt that there were so many things I should worry about.
She still didn't know if there were any spies of the Fourth Prince in the courtyard. In order to sleep peacefully, she had to deal with this matter quickly.
Gan Tang asked, "Will you also call the maidservant that Madam Hou gave you as a dowry?"
Shang Tingli said, "Call them all together."
After a while, the two maids gathered all the servants working in Xinyuan.
Shang Tingli did not rush to speak.
Although everyone did not understand the Crown Prince's Consort's intention, no one expressed dissatisfaction, and they all waited for instructions obediently.
A quarter of an hour later.
Shang Tingli said slowly, "Whatever you did and how you did it in the past, you should do it the same way in the future. I only ask for your loyalty."
She showed a gentle smile, but her eyes were sharp: "Don't let me find out who is betraying me, or I will be in trouble."
"Yes."
The loud voices of the crowd echoed in every corner of the courtyard.
In the past, the people in the new courtyard were all managed by the princess, and the prince never cared about these trivial matters. Because the prince's affairs, except for food, were all taken care of by his own secret guards, so there were no first-class maids in the courtyard.
