The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

Shen Tangan was extremely satisfied with this situation. It seemed that she had brainwashed him very successfully.

Some of these people were brought by my mother from the Shangshu Mansion, and the first few who stood out were them.

The other part were trained by these people, and those who could serve in the inner courtyard were all under life-long bonds. They dared not leave easily and were more loyal than anyone else.

They knew it better than anyone else that even the Marquis did not favor his wife.

The illegitimate concubine in Lihua Garden is not even as good as a finger of the lady.

Even if the marquis is scolded by his wife, he has to be polite and docile, because a concubine is not worthy of being in public after all.

What's more, Zheng was notoriously stingy and always acted like a master, often withholding rewards from her servants. They had heard countless complaints from the servants in Lihua Garden in private.

Everyone in the mansion envied those who worked in Biyun Courtyard, serving the most amiable master and earning the highest reward. Such a good job would be hard to find even with a lantern.

"Go away."

Now that they have been scolded, these people have recognized who their master is, so there is naturally no need to stay any longer.

If the door of Biyun Courtyard remains closed, misunderstandings are inevitable.

He ordered Nanny Wang to let everyone disperse and not to give these people some reward money. The servants were grateful again after hearing this.

When she returned to the room, her mother had already drunk the medicine with Mu Tao's help. She looked much better than when she came, but her face was still pale.

This kind of disease cannot be rushed, with her around, it will slowly heal.

After taking the patient's pulse, I found that most of the poison had been eliminated, and the rest would be slowly excreted from the body through medication.

"What's going on? I just heard a commotion outside, it seemed like someone was being punished."

"The person who poisoned her has been found, and she has confessed."

Shen Tangan covered her with the quilt and said casually.

"How was it handled? Is this matter related to Zheng's?"

Lin's face changed slightly. When she mentioned Zheng, she even looked up at her, fearing that she might have some grudges. Seeing that she looked normal, she felt relieved instantly.

Now it seems that she doesn't care at all.

"She did it, but my daughter plans to use this incident to lure the snake out of its hole."

Shen Tangan sneered, "She hurt you, I will make her pay the price."

"Are you sure about this?"

Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment as she looked at her daughter, who looked strange yet familiar to her. Is this still her daughter?

He cared about her so much that it felt unreal to her.

"Well, we just lack manpower."

Shen Tangan frowned in distress. There were not many people around her who could be used. If she wanted to investigate the palace doctor, she was afraid that she would not be able to find many useful clues if she only relied on the people in the Marquis' Mansion.

"Your grandfather..."

"Grandfather..."

The mother and daughter spoke at the same time, then stopped at the same time, stared at each other blankly, and after they reacted, they laughed at the same time.

Lin smiled easily and gently, holding her hand affectionately.

"Your grandfather's birthday is coming up, and your uncle should be back from the frontier soon, as well as your cousin who is one year older than you. If you need help, just go to the Shangshu Mansion and ask for it. They will help you."

"it is good!"

Shen Tangan nodded heavily, looking at his mother's face which was thin due to illness, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

If my mother goes back like this, my grandparents will definitely be sad to see that their most beloved daughter has suffered so much injustice in the Marquis' Mansion.

Before returning home, she was determined to make sure her mother was in good health.

"By the way, your aunt sent a letter yesterday saying that she was not feeling well. I wanted to go to the palace to see her today, but this happened. If she saw me like this, she would definitely blame me."

Lin sighed lightly. Although her sister was a noble concubine, she had never been distant from her. Even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they still had endless things to talk about when they met again, just like when they were children.

That's why I'm particularly worried. There are constant attacks and attacks in the deep palace, and I don't know what has happened to my sister.

"aunt?"

Shen Tangan was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that her aunt, the imperial concubine, was second only to the emperor and was loved by everyone.

Her eyes suddenly lit up. The book described her aunt, the imperial concubine, as a stunningly beautiful woman who had been in the palace for more than ten years and was the most favored of all the harems.

It’s a pity that the book has a very bad ending. The royal family who was fighting for power with the prince cousin became a victim of court struggles and died when he was less than forty years old.

No!

She wants to save her aunt!

My mother has such a good relationship with my aunt. She would be very sad if something happened to my aunt.

"Mother, you are not feeling well. Why don't I go to the palace to see your aunt for you?"

"You...don't you hate entering the palace?"

Lin was stunned for a moment, and looked at her with a strange look.

In the past, she always said that the palace was oppressive and unbearable. Except for palace banquets, she rarely went into the palace with him, and he never mentioned it on his own initiative. It was strange that today she asked for it herself.

"My daughter hasn't seen her aunt for a long time, and she heard that she was not feeling well, so she naturally missed her."

Shen Tangan noticed that there was something wrong with her eyes and hurried to explain.

But she was secretly complaining in her heart, it wasn't that she didn't like him, it was clearly Shen Qingwan who was dragging her along and coaxing her with sweet words.

Even though Shen Qingwan was recognized as the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, on the surface she still followed Zheng's remarriage and was not considered to be of the Marquis's bloodline. She was not qualified to be included in the family tree and recognized under the name of the mistress, let alone enter the palace.

So he was jealous that she could often attend palace banquets and make the acquaintance of noble ladies from aristocratic families. He pretended to be pitiful in front of her and said that the noble ladies were too arrogant and looked down on her.

It's not that those rich girls look down on her, it's clearly that she is just being too clever and likes to use some little tricks to highlight herself.

No one in the capital is a fool, and noble ladies have been strictly disciplined since childhood. As the head of the family's mother has educated her herself, does she really think that no one can see through her methods, which are as shameful as Zheng's?

It was because she was hopelessly stupid that she truly believed Shen Qingwan's one-sided words. In order not to make her sad, she lied to her mother that she didn't like entering the palace.

As she remembered, her aunt loved her the most. She kept all the new things in the palace for her, even her cousin the Sixth Prince had no share.

How could she not care about such an aunt?

"I see. Well, you can go there for me. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy."

Lin had no doubts and was always worried about her sister in the palace. It made her feel at ease knowing her daughter was visiting her instead of having someone else visit her.

Lin had just been detoxified, and there was still some residual drugs in his body. After chatting with Shen Tangan for half an hour and having his meal, he felt sleepy and fell asleep.

Shen Tangan did not stay long. He asked Nanny Wang to take good care of her and left with the maidservants around her.

"Miss, how do you know Chunhong has family outside the mansion?"

On the way back, Yunzhu couldn't help but ask the questions in her mind.

After what happened today, he was completely in awe of the young lady, and his tone became even more respectful.

"As soon as something happened, she rushed out in a hurry. If she didn't have someone she was worried about, why would she be so panicked and at a loss as to where to go?"

Shen Tangan looked indifferent. She was just guessing at the time and she just said it to trick her.

It was because Chunhong cared too much about her younger sister outside the mansion that she was given the opportunity to take advantage of him.

"The young lady is so smart!"

Mu Tao looked at her young lady adoringly with a silly smile on her face.

How could she be worthy of being with such a powerful lady!

"You should learn from him in the future."

He turned around and smiled at her, then suddenly thought of something and frowned.

"Can you all learn to write?"

"When Xue Ji and I were in Madam's courtyard, we learned some of it."

As a first-class maid, Yunzhu naturally knows much more than ordinary maids.

"This slave...can't."

Upon hearing this, Mu Tao lowered her head in embarrassment. She could not read a single word and was not as smart as sisters Yunzhu and Xueji, nor as capable as them.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. Follow me in the future and I will ask the teacher to teach you."

Shen Tangan saw her embarrassment, patted her shoulder comfortingly, and then looked at the other two.

"You must not only read books and learn to read, but also learn to do accounting and account books, and learn some business skills."
