Jiang Shuyu called Jinshu and asked carefully:
"Have you made any progress on what I asked you to do?"
When Jiang Shuyu knew that Jiang Zhongming was coming back soon, she asked Jinshu to make preparations in advance. You know, although these are small things, if they are used by someone with ulterior motives, it will be more trouble than gain.
Jinshu looked at Jiang Shuyu's serious expression and hurried forward to say, "Don't worry, young lady. A few days ago, I cleaned up the farm outside the city and arranged for people to be there to help those with disabilities familiarize themselves with the operation procedures as quickly as possible. Although they have difficulty in moving, they don't want to be a burden to others, so they are all working very hard."
Speaking of this, Jinshu couldn't help but feel a little angry. They were originally heroes of the country. If they hadn't fought to the death on the battlefield, there would be no peaceful and prosperous times now.
They thought their later years would be guaranteed, but they didn't expect that the relief funds issued by the court were all embezzled, and all of this was within the jurisdiction of the master.
The master was away from home all year round, so he entrusted someone he trusted to do this. However, he did not expect that this person had been bribed and not only took the money but also did not do the work.
He beat and scolded these powerless people. If the girl had not secretly investigated on a whim, they would probably still be kept in the dark!
Fortunately, there are arrangements now that can provide security for their lives, so that their trust in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion will not be in vain.
Jiang Shuyu's eyes dimmed slightly, but she did not relax her composure despite Yu Lanmang's words. You know, the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion has always taken care of those who retreated from the battlefield, and has never abandoned them just because they have disabilities.
This is why, although the Duke Dingguo Mansion no longer has the glory of the past, it is still as righteous as ever in the eyes of the people. This is because the Duke Dingguo Mansion has been nourishing them from beginning to end, and this is why it has won the trust of the people.
However, this good deed was gradually discredited by others, who only cared about their immediate interests and ignored these people. As a result, when this matter was exposed, it caught the father off guard.
These matters had always been managed by the Duke, but now they were handed over to Jiang Hongtai by Jiang Mingxuan. In the beginning, Jiang Hongtai did a good job and did everything himself, but these were just their tricks. After Jiang Mingxuan completely let go, the result can be imagined.
Jiang Hongtai not only withheld the money allocated for their relief, but also assigned them heavy tasks. Their bodies were already weak, so how could they continue to work so hard? After a long time, some of them would naturally be unable to bear the hard labor and gradually become resentful, which eventually led to deaths.
At that time, his father was betrayed and encountered suspicion from the emperor. It happened that he encountered such a thing. The combination of the two made Jiang Zhongming, who was already in trouble, even worse.
Later, my father was stripped of his power. If it weren't for His Royal Highness Prince Jing's intervention, my father would have found it difficult to gain a foothold in Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Now that she knows this in advance, she naturally has to make plans early.
"Those original people have been controlled. Now that my father has not returned to Beijing, we naturally cannot alert them. Otherwise, all our efforts will be wasted!" The person she needs to pay attention to now is Jiang Hongtai, to prevent him from getting wind of the news and speeding up the persecution of these people.
"Don't worry, young lady. The Second Master is extremely busy now, so he naturally has no time to take care of these things!" When he said this, Jinshu's eyes were full of smiles. After all, it was no longer a secret that the Second Master had a mistress outside.
Because of this, the second house quarreled every day, and they also joined in to watch the fun!
"Oh! This matter turned out to be so smooth. I thought it would take some time!" Jiang Shuyu said doubtfully.
"That's not the case. You know, flies don't bite seamless eggs. The Second Madam used to be good friends with Fang, but I'm afraid even she didn't know what the Second Master was thinking. Now she and Fang have become sisters, but I don't know who is better!" Yu Lan poured a cup of tea for Jiang Shuyu and spoke slowly.
Jiang Shuyu picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, lowering her eyes slightly. Yuan Peishan had the support of Concubine Yuan behind her, so Jiang Hongtai naturally didn't dare to do anything too much. But it would be difficult for Yuan Peishan to easily control Jiang Hongtai in the future!
Jiang Shuyu was thinking about what to do when she heard Ruan's voice. She quickly put down her teacup and went out to greet her.
"Why did mother come here in person? You can just send someone over to do some bidding, and Yu'er will be there too!"
"It's only a few steps away, there's no need to make such a big deal. You're weak, and your mother won't bear to torment you!"
Ruan stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Shuyu, and then they walked into the room together.
"Luckily, you've gained some weight these days. Otherwise, when your father comes back tomorrow and sees you looking so thin, he'll probably be heartbroken again!"
Jiang Shuyu covered her lips and chuckled: "That's right, my father always blames my mother for this, but it's Shuyu's fault."
Thinking of Jiang Zhongming's bad temper, Ruan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Jiang Zhongming really loved Jiang Shuyu to the core, and he didn't care so much about those two boys. Fortunately, she also loved Yu'er sincerely, otherwise, who knows what would happen!
"Has the second house been causing trouble for you these days?" She was so busy with the affairs in the mansion these days that she had neglected Yu'er a lot!
Thinking of Yu Lan's words just now, Jiang Shuyu's eyes were full of smiles, and then she looked at Ruan and told her one by one. Ruan was immediately shocked:
"There is such a thing?" You should know that she doesn't want to get involved with the second house at all, so naturally she didn't let anyone pay attention to their movements. She didn't expect that the second house was so corrupt that they even kept a mistress, and she was Yuan Peishan's former close friend. It would be strange if she didn't make a fuss.
But it's not anyone else's fault. After all, it was she who often invited Fang over in the beginning. It was inevitable that people would get accustomed to her after so many visits. I'm afraid Yuan Peishan must be regretting it now.
But when Yuan Peishan was mentioned, Ruan couldn't help but frowned, and then looked at Jiang Shuyu worriedly and said,
"The banquet for Concubine Yuan's birthday is coming up soon. Yuan Peishan has been feeling incredibly frustrated lately. I'm afraid she'll take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble. And Jiang Wanrong will definitely not let this opportunity slip away. If you don't want to go, just stay home. Mother will make arrangements for you. What do you think?"
When Jiang Shuyu heard what Ruan said, she remembered what happened at Concubine Yuan's birthday party. Her already frowned brows unconsciously furrowed even tighter!
This birthday banquet was originally held for Concubine Yuan to select a concubine for Xiao Jinrui. At that time, civil and military officials would come with their families, giving their daughters a chance to show their talents. If they are lucky, they could climb up the social ladder and rise to prominence.
