"I have already told the princess and the grandmother this morning about the shortage of people in our courtyard. I think arrangements should be made in the next few days. There must not be enough servants in the mansion. Please take some time to find Mother Liu and ask her to make preparations." Meng Wan instructed Mother Kong.

Mother Kong responded softly, "He Wen hasn't had much contact with Mother Fan recently, and I haven't seen her go to other courtyards. But the little girl next to Mother Fan runs out almost every day."

Meng Wan nodded. It was normal for a little girl to be bribed. It was just a matter of a few copper coins or a few pieces of material. There was nothing valuable to be learned from such a little girl. She was just simply telling others what happened in Qinghe Garden as soon as possible.

Of the two little girls she sent out, one went to Zhongcui Garden diligently, and the other went to Zhou Yingning diligently.

And those who are truly deeply embedded by them and are able to make moves in Qinghe Garden are smart people and will not be easily discovered by her.

"Also, let Cai'er go to the Second Master's outer courtyard more often when she has nothing to do. The Seventh Sister must be frightened. She is not smart to begin with, so don't let her be really fooled. Cai'er has had contact with her in Hongluo Temple, so she can talk to her."

"Yes, then, do you want to find a reason to send the girl next to Madam Fan away as well?"

"No need for now. I have to wait until I finish taking the medicine. Besides, I always feel that there is something else with Wen, and it is not as simple as finding medicine for Mama Fan."

Mother Kong looked solemn, "But this girl hid herself so well that we haven't seen any movement from her until now. Could it be that she is just helping Mother Fan find medicine?"

"I thought so at first, but I felt it was wrong when I talked with Second Master that day. You see, Mother Fan got the medicine she sent and confirmed it at the pharmacy before grinding it. That is to say, the herbs were visible in Hewen's hands. You see, if Mother Fan really bothered her to help get the medicine, would she not check what it was? That medicine is a 'fertility-aiding' medicine in any pharmacy, how could Hewen not know? How could she not know that this medicine was for Mother Fan to give me? But she still got it for Mother Fan, and didn't say a word to me."

Mother Kong understood, "She must not have thought that we knew that she was the one who found the medicine for Mother Fan. From this point of view, this girl is very scheming."

"So, if she is really from the Hu family, that would be great. The problem is that we can't tell now, and we don't know what her next move will be. And if she is really not from the Hu family, then whose is she? And the real Hu family's killer hidden in the yard is even more terrifying."

Meng Wan stood outside the window, looking at the sky that had just cleared after the snow, and the maids in the yard were sweeping the snow. After sending a few more people out, she thought that there were fewer people and the work would be harder, but she didn't expect that the few people who stayed would be much more diligent.

The reason was that although the Second Grandma had sent those people away at will, she would not allow any leniency. Two of the four who left at the beginning seemed to regret something and begged Mother Fan, but the Second Grandma still did not agree to let them come back.

This is enough to show that although this second wife is not smart and has no method in managing the yard, there is one thing that everyone can see through, that is, she is honest and stubborn, and she will not easily change the decisions she makes.

Another reason why those maids wanted to come back was that Second Madam was generous. Apart from what they were supposed to do, Second Madam would reward anyone who could find something or provide something. She would also let those with children bring back some snacks and fruits.

Such good things would not make people think too much about it once or twice, after all, it is just a few more copper coins and a few more bites of food, but the second grandma likes it so much that she rewards it anytime and anywhere, which makes people very happy.

Meng Wan used this method of small favors to almost clear out the servants in the courtyard. Originally, these servants were not in the eyes of the Hu family. If they were not serving in front of them, they would naturally not get any useful information. They did not want to spend their energy and money. Therefore, after she cleared out the exposed ones, they did not rush to arrange more people in, which proved from another perspective that there were more hidden people in Qinghe Garden.

Who could it be? Meng Wan thought about the people in the yard. Chuntao didn't need to be considered. Lvliu had been particularly outstanding recently. After he had reused her last time, this girl still looked calm. Thinking that her sister was Zhou Yingrong's dowry, Meng Wan felt that there should be no problem.

It is now clear that He Wen was planted by someone else, but who knows yet? Meng Wan believes that this will be discovered sooner or later. Since that person drugged him through Fan's mother, he will naturally be concerned about the subsequent development of the situation and wait for Qing Ning to research the formula of the drug. He will know from the reactions of some people who have taken it. He only needs to perform a few scenes and the person behind He Wen will surface.

Then there was Wanxia, ​​who had a sharp tongue and looked fearless until now. She didn't believe that someone with this kind of personality was planted by someone, because she was too ostentatious, but there were always unexpected things.

Then there are the maids and old women of lower status. They have very few opportunities to come into contact with me, but the possibility of being taken advantage of cannot be ruled out. The little girl beside Fan's mother is an example.

So, even though we cleared out a few, we still had to be careful and wait for the people that Mother Liu favored to come in safely.

Of course, there was one thing Meng Wan did not tell Zhou Yu, and that was that the people prepared by Mother Liu were not only to enter Qinghe Garden. If they were lucky, some of them might go to Junyueju and Zhongcui Garden. After all, it was the end of the year and people were needed everywhere.

By then, there will be people who will spread the gossip to others.

"Second Madam, can you look at these things?"

Meng Wan looked at the phoenix hairpin, two pieces of fabric, and a few boxes of gouache on the table and nodded. She and Meng Xiu were not even close, and it was just a modest gift for her sister.

Moreover, Meng Wan had never had a good impression of Meng Xiu. As a concubine's daughter, it was understandable that she had a hard life, but it was annoying for her to help others do bad things. That's right, Meng Wan always believed that Meng Xiu had instigated Meng Qi to fall into the ice, although Meng Qi did not identify her and did not say anything.

Meng Wan's opinion of Meng Qi is very complicated now. According to Meng Qi's performance during this period, Meng Wan guessed that maybe Meng Qi was reborn. Maybe in her previous life, there was no Meng Xiu, and there was no Meng Xiu to help Meng Juan harm her. That's why she said that she didn't expect that she was her sister, and she was very happy to be her sister. That's why she didn't mention anything Meng Xiu said to her that day. That's why she let herself persuade Wang Xu Mengwei to go to Sichuan. That's why she fought with Meng Zhi while making herself good friends with Meng Zhi...

All signs indicate that if this girl is really as he thought, it would be really interesting. Two sisters, one is a time traveler and the other is reborn. This is probably the plot in novels.

Should I verify it myself? If Meng Qi is really reborn, then she will have the upper hand. If nothing else, she will definitely know who will sit in that position in the future. If I ask it myself, then Zhou Yu won't go the wrong way. What if this guy is following the wrong person now?

How should I ask? Will she tell me? I have tried my best to hide the fact that I have traveled through time from everyone, for fear that they would find out and treat me as an alien. I am sure Meng Qi would have the same idea.

If it is not handled well, it will make Meng Qi doubt her identity. On second thought, if she was really reborn, then Meng Qi would definitely not watch Zhou Yu stand on the wrong side. Since she asked Zhou Yu to help Meng Wei follow Yue Sanye, does it mean that the person Zhou Yu is following now is the right one? So, Meng Qi did not object, nor did she remind herself, and she was relieved to let her third brother stand on the same side with Zhou Yu and the others?

That's right, it must be. The person Zhou Yu and his followers are following now must be the one who will sit in that position in the future. And Zhou Yu also clearly said that they are not loyal to King Jing and King Cheng, the only ones left are King Duan, King Rui and the crown prince, and the crown prince is most likely the one among them.

Thinking of this, Meng Wan breathed a sigh of relief. This was good. As long as he followed the right person, nothing would be a problem in the future.

But no matter what, these are just my guesses. I still have to test Meng Qi when I have the chance. Maybe she will tell me something. After all, she must be planning something. No matter what the plan is, even if I have the upper hand, some things still require help to implement.
