After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

Mother Hu went out with a pale face.

"Princess Princess, Mother Hu said she is willing to go through fire and water for you. Can we trust her?" Ruyi was a little skeptical.

She has always been used by the Madam, so how could she be easily taken in by the Princess?

Gu Zhiyin smiled indifferently: "It depends on whether Mother Hu wants a future or is exiled to live out the rest of her life. You will know if it can be used after a try. Whether it is loyal or not, you will know after a long time."

Although Ruyi didn't think highly of Mother Hu, she just listened to whatever her master said.

"Did Madam Hu tell the Second Miss about what happened to you in the palace?"

Gu Zhiyin: “No.”

"So it was really that bitch Huilan who spread rumors and made the second lady deliberately humiliate you today?" Ruyi widened her eyes and asked in disbelief.

So the Princess had known about it for a long time, and today she brought Huilan back home and handed her over to the Madam.

Gu Zhiyin glanced at her maid, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea silently without saying anything more.

She couldn't say that Gu Jinse didn't ask Huilan and Mother Hu for information at all, but because Gu Jinse was reborn and had experienced all these things in her previous life when she married into the Pingyang Palace, she was certain that she would experience the same thing as her.

Gu Zhiyin knows Gu Jinse's character very well. They grew up together and she thought that she could get a good husband and change her life by marrying off. So when she returns to her parents' home today, she will try her best to feel superior in front of her.

This gave her a legitimate reason to send Huilan back to the Gu family.

Although she didn't care whether Fu Yunjing took a concubine or not, or what kind of character the concubine was, she definitely didn't need someone as troublesome as Huilan around her.

Mother Hu didn't want to keep the girl at first, but there were three dowries in total, and if she sent two back at once, she was afraid that if she pushed Jiang into a corner, she would send another one over, so it was better to keep her for the time being.

If it works, she will use it.

If it can't be used, there will be plenty of ways to deal with it in the future.

The next day, Mother Hu made an appointment with Jiang to meet at Yunjian Teahouse.

She was waiting in a room on the second floor. At the same time, on the third floor, Gu Zhiyin was sitting in another elegantly decorated room.

Yesterday, Gu Zhiyin used Huilan's excuse of stirring up trouble in the palace to hand the person over to her for disposal before leaving, catching her off guard. Afterwards, she asked Huilan about it, but the girl refused to admit that she had told Jinse about it.

She would not allow Gu Zhiyin to escape her control after getting married, so when Mother Hu sent her a message to arrange a meeting, she could not wait to go.

"This servant has seen the Madam."

"No need to be polite!" Jiang raised her hand: "What is Gu Zhiyin's situation in the palace?"

"I asked Madam to meet me today to discuss this matter." Mother Hu said, "The old princess handed over the power of the household to the eldest daughter, and she is the master of the household. I and Huilan were not the eldest daughter's confidants. If we suddenly followed her as a dowry, it must have taken a lot of energy and effort to gain her trust. I have to say something inappropriate. Huilan privately told the second daughter that Prince Ming abandoned the eldest daughter on the wedding night. She was too anxious."

She didn't dare to blame the second young lady for coming to Huilan in such a hurry to inquire about the eldest young lady's scandal. Even if her own daughter was wrong, the lady would not allow others to say a word against her.

"I asked Huilan and she said it wasn't her," said Jiang.

Mother Hu cursed inwardly. Huilan denied it. Was she trying to throw dirty water on her?

It is impossible for someone in the palace to tell the second young lady the secret, so she and Huilan are the most suspicious.

"But the fact is that she was sent back to the Gu family by the eldest daughter and handed over to the lady for disposal." Mother Hu did not say much, just stated a fact.

Don't rush to prove your innocence.

Anyway, it was Huilan who was driven away by the eldest lady, and it was me who stayed in the palace.

Jiang was silent for a moment and no longer worried about whether Huilan was wronged.

To her, he was just a slave. What she cared about was that Huilan had lost her usefulness.

"I'll arrange for someone else to go there."

"Madam, it's not necessary." Mother Hu said, "The eldest lady is now in charge of the palace. Logically, we servants who followed her from the Gu family into the palace should be given important positions, but the fact is that she would rather let the servants of the palace gain power than give us servants a chance."

"After all, she is on guard against Madam. Even if I have a lot of skills, I can't use them. Huilan is a lesson for me. If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be long before someone finds fault with me and sends me back to the Gu family."

To put it bluntly, even if you send all the servants of the Gu family to the palace, it will be in vain if Gu Zhiyin refuses to use them.

After hearing this, Jiang was so angry that her mouth was twisted. This little bitch started to become arrogant as soon as she got married.

But as soon as she got married, she got the power to be the head of the family. Firstly, she had no handle on anyone, and secondly, she didn't need to rely on her parents' family. How could Jiang control her?

Thinking about it again, the one who originally held the power to be the head of the palace should have been his own daughter.

Now it is a bargain for Gu Zhiyin.

Jiang is so angry!

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Mother Hu lowered her eyes and whispered, "After much thought, I think if I want to gain the young lady's trust, I have to give her my indenture. This way, she can use me with confidence, and I can also keep an eye on the young lady for you, Madam, and prevent her from getting out of your control."

"Indenture?" Jiang's voice suddenly rose a few notches, and her eyes became sharper as she looked at Mother Hu: "Mother Hu, do you think I am such an easy person to fool?"

If she didn't have Mother Hu's indenture, could she safely leave her with Gu Zhiyin?

He is not her trusted servant.

"Madam, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. The eldest daughter has just married and is in the process of running the family. It's time to hire someone. If we wait until her position in the palace is stable, it will be too late to do anything." Mother Hu looked like she was thinking about Jiang. "Besides, although my indenture is not in the Gu Mansion, my son is still a servant of the Gu family. I can't just ignore my son's life or death."

Jiang pursed her lips and remained silent, thinking about what Mother Hu said in her heart.

If she doesn't give it to him, Mother Hu will undoubtedly follow Huilan's footsteps. If she sends someone to Gu Zhiyin again, it will only make her defensive.

Bribe Ruyi or the servants in the palace?

It is simply harder than reaching the sky.

"can!"

After a long time, Jiang opened her red lips and slowly uttered two words.

This old man's son is still at the Gu family, so he is not afraid that she will disobey him.

Mother Hu's heart finally settled down.

In another room on the third floor, Gu Zhiyin looked at the uninvited woman at the door with a teasing expression.

Lin Jianyue!

"I saw my sister while shopping, so I thought of coming up to say hello. I hope my sister won't blame me for coming uninvited." Lin Jianyue said as he walked in.

She was wearing a soft smoke skirt in the color of Xiang Fei, the hem of which hung lightly to the ground, showing her slim and graceful figure. Her waterfall-like black hair was gently tied up with a jade hairpin, and her bright little face was lightly made up, like a lotus emerging from the water.
