I just want to rob you of your luck

When Lin Jiuer came out of Jiang Cheng's study, she felt a little dizzy, but the Marquis let her out without making things difficult for her.

Looks like a good start.

"Jiu'er, why are you here?"

Lin Jiuer was startled and saw Nanny Song, who was beside the lady, walking towards her.

She looked at her with suspicion in her eyes. Lin Jiuer was speechless. She had been careless and was dazed by the Marquis. She should leave as soon as possible.

She smiled flatteringly: "I brought some snacks to the Marquis. Is there anything that needs to be done for you, Madam?"

Nanny Song quickly regained her gentle demeanor: "Madam asked me to ask where the Marquis will rest tonight?"

Lin Jiuer's heart moved. It seemed that the Marquis was indeed a little cold towards his wife, but his wife cared a lot about the Marquis.

In the original owner's memory, the lady pretended not to care about the Marquis. If the Marquis didn't look for her, she would never take the initiative to look for the Marquis. However, she often asked people to inquire about the Marquis' whereabouts in private.

She even painted a small portrait of the marquis herself, and secretly took it out to look at it when no one was around, to comfort her homesickness.

These things were only known by a few people who served her closely, and the original owner also happened to know about it.

Lin Jiuer bowed quickly and said, "Then please go quickly, Madam. I will take my leave now."

The moment Nanny Song turned around with a smile, her face darkened. She would definitely report this matter to the Madam later.

It seems that this little girl has really grown up. She doesn't want to be the prince's concubine, but instead plans to marry into the high branch of the marquis.

When Lin Jiuer returned to her room, she saw Xia Liu coming back and packing up her things.

Lin Jiuer smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations, Xia Liu, you finally got what you wanted."

Xia Liu looked at Lin Jiuer with mixed feelings.

"Jiu'er, when did you know that I had a crush on the prince?"

Lin Jiuer smiled faintly: "How many maids in our Marquis' Mansion don't admire the prince? I'm just guessing."

Xia Liu used to be a little jealous of Lin Jiuer, mainly because her appearance and figure were better than hers.

She had seen the prince look at Lin Jiuer with a somewhat unusual look before.

In addition, when the lady was selecting a maid for the prince's room, she unexpectedly chose Lin Jiuer, which made her feel very unbalanced.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jiuer pushed her out. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, she was grateful to Lin Jiuer in her heart.

"Jiu'er, I want to thank you for this. If it weren't for your recommendation, I probably would never have dared to tell the prince that I loved him and wanted to be his maid."

Lin Jiuer curled her lips and smiled: "We grew up together and are as close as sisters. Why do you have to be so polite to me? If you are doing well, I will be happy for you."

In fact, Lin Jiuer knew that Xia Liu would definitely not be favored in the past, because in the original owner's memory, the Crown Prince's Consort Deng was not an easy person to deal with either.

She would not sit idly by and let a maid take her husband away from her.

Otherwise, the Marquis's wife would not have been unable to defeat her and decided to stuff women into the prince's backyard to disgust her.

Moreover, the prince was somewhat picky about women's appearance. If she was not good-looking, he might not be attracted to her.

Even though Xia Liu is grateful to her now, he will probably hate her if he is out of favor in a few days.

So Lin Jiuer's concern for her was just false.

At this moment, a little maid came in hurriedly and said, "Sister Jiuer, the Madam wants you to come over."

Lin Jiuer recognized this maid. She was a second-class maid in the lady’s courtyard, named Xia He.

Xia Liu asked in confusion: "Madam, why did you ask Jiuer to come over so late? Isn't there someone on duty tonight?"

Xia He said hesitantly: "Madam seems to be in a bad mood. I don't know why Madam asked Sister Jiuer to come over."

Lin Jiuer sneered in her heart and already had some guesses.

She stood up and looked ready to die: "Let's go, don't keep Madam waiting for too long."

Soon Lin Jiuer arrived at the main courtyard where the lady lived.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Madam Zhou sitting in the main seat, with Nanny Song standing next to her.

Both of them looked ugly.

She knew that the old hag, Nanny Song, would definitely tell on her.

"Kneel down!" Zhou spoke first.

Although Lin Jiuer was reluctant, she had no choice but to bow to the evil forces as she was outnumbered and powerless.

She plopped down on her knees.

Zhou's face was as gloomy as water: "I thought you were a man of integrity, unwilling to be the prince's concubine, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn and dare to seduce the marquis. I underestimated you!"

Lin Jiuer lowered her head, not daring to refute, as if she was being bullied by her mistress.

Zhou was even more furious after seeing this.

He kept venting all kinds of extremely insulting words towards Lin Jiuer.

Lin Jiuer sneered in her heart. Zhou and the Marquis were rarely together, so she placed all her hopes on her son.

Even if the prince did something wrong, Zhou would settle it for him, and this also made the prince Jiang Hai become lawless.

Although the prince behaves like a gentleman in front of others, Lin Jiuer actually knows that he is an out-and-out playboy.

Compared with the Marquis, she would of course choose the heroic and extraordinary Marquis.

But she certainly couldn't openly go against Zhou now.

She wanted to use her identity to make the Marquis sympathize with her, and then slowly win his heart.

Zhou kept cursing for a long time, but when she saw Lin Jiuer, she was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. She lowered her head and said nothing.

Still not satisfied, he stood up and walked in front of Lin Jiuer.

"You little slut, why aren't you being horny now? Stop pretending to be weak in front of me. I won't fall for it. I think you deserve to be punished."

As he said that, he raised his hand and was about to slap Lin Jiuer a few times.

"Stop!" A cold voice came from outside the house.

There was a hint of smile in Lin Jiuer's lowered eyes.

It seems that the Marquis is not completely indifferent to the things happening in the backyard, or maybe the plate of butterfly cakes that I sent today played a role?

Zhou's body froze, and before she could put down her raised hand, she saw Marquis Dingyuan walking in with a stern face.

"Husband, didn't you say you would rest in the study tonight?"

Lord Jiang Cheng's three-dimensional facial features were all covered with frost, and he exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry.

Lin Jiuer secretly praised in her heart, she was worthy of being a general who had been tempered on the battlefield. Even standing next to her, she could feel a strong pressure.

Jiang Cheng reached out and helped Lin Jiuer up, then looked at Zhou.

"Ms. Zhou, as the Marquis's wife, your every word and action represents the reputation of the Marquis's mansion. For all these years, I had no idea that your wife's private words were like those of a shrew!

I heard everything you said just now. Look at yourself and don't you think you are speaking words that a marquis's wife would say?

Also, I didn't expect that when I wasn't looking, the Madam would bully the servants like this?"

Zhou's face turned pale and she was trembling all over after hearing what Jiang Cheng said. She couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Lin Jiuer thought that the Marquis really had a sharp eye and hit the nail on the head.
