On the day of my tragic death, I was reborn and married to the Regent
Chapter 3 Planning
The backyard was cold and gloomy. Although it was only early autumn, this was the dirtiest place in the entire Jiang family and no one wanted to come here.
Jiang Nian and her maid came all the way here and saw from a distance that several people walked out with their noses pinched.
Only after everyone had gone far away did Jiang Nian walk into the courtyard.
Three maids were sitting in the yard scrubbing the toilet. One of them threw the brush on the ground and started complaining, "How long are we going to finish scrubbing the toilet? We've been sitting in this yard all day, and we're almost getting pickled!"
The other woman was in a good mood: "Well, where have you come from?"
As he said this, he turned to look at the disheveled old woman at the far edge.
"Look at her. She's been here for over ten years, and she's going to have no chance of making a breakthrough in her life."
The old woman seemed not to hear anything, and continued to move her hands, grunting as she cleaned the toilet.
Jiang Nian walked in with his maid in a proud and arrogant manner. The maid received the young lady's order and went up to ask loudly, "Who cleaned the toilet in Qingfang Courtyard yesterday?"
When the two old women saw Jiang Nian's face, they knew that he was someone not to be trifled with. They quickly waved their hands and without asking what was going on, they quickly pushed the responsibility onto the old woman.
"She, it's her! She was in charge yesterday."
Jiang Nian glanced at her coldly, and the maid acted arrogantly: "This is the eldest daughter of the mansion. If I find out you are lying, you will be in trouble!"
The old woman whose face could not be seen stiffened for a moment when she heard the word "eldest girl", but soon returned to normal.
Jiang Nian was sure that this was the person she was looking for.
He gave the maid a wink and turned to leave the yard.
A maid's voice rang out from behind: "You slut! You're so rude to our young lady right after she came back! The toilet in Qingfang Courtyard wasn't cleaned yesterday, and our young lady is upset. Just wait and see how I'll deal with you! Go!"
It's true that Baozhu is a good girl at taking advantage of others' power. Along the way, she acted like a smug villain and dragged the old woman to Qingfangyuan, cursing at her.
Many servants saw them on their way back and hurried to Shou'an Hall to inform Old Madam Jiang.
Originally, it would not have been a big deal for the eldest lady of the mansion to deal with a servant, but the man turned out to be someone close to Lin, so Old Madam Jiang had to think too much and immediately came with a large group of people.
But when she entered Qingfang Courtyard, there was no one else in the courtyard except Jiang Nian who was sitting there practicing embroidery. When she saw Old Madam Jiang come in, she quickly put down what she was holding and stepped forward to pay her respects.
"Why is grandma here?"
Madam Jiang glanced around the yard and heard no movement from inside the house. She smiled kindly again, "I heard you were angry this morning and brought back a maid?"
Jiang Nian feigned surprise: "Grandma, you know all this? It's nothing, it's just that the old woman who cleans the toilet didn't do her job properly and didn't take my granddaughter seriously. I was so angry that I brought her back to punish her."
After saying that, she looked at Old Madam Jiang and asked with a smile, "That old woman is really prestigious. Is it worth Grandma making a personal trip?"
Seeing that Jiang Nian had no unusual expression, Madam Jiang felt relieved. "He's just a servant. Why would you want to save face for him? Even though all these people are now under the management of the Feng family, any disposal of servants must go through the Feng family first..."
"Grandmother," Jiang Nian interrupted her, aggrieved, "I'm the legitimate daughter, and I need my aunt's consent to deal with a servant who cleans the toilet? My granddaughter will be a concubine in the Yan family in the future, and yet I don't even have this right?"
Mrs. Jiang is a smart person and should understand what she means.
He wants her to be his concubine, but he doesn't give her the corresponding rights at home. If he makes her unhappy, then whoever wants to be his concubine can do it!
Madam Jiang said kindly, "Grandmother, that's not what I meant. It's just that you are a girl waiting to be married. You should focus on Master Yan and learn how to serve him. Then when you get married, you won't have to worry about not getting pregnant. If you have a child, the wife won't be able to do anything to you.
Besides, that old woman is an elder in the mansion after all, so she should be treated kindly. If she makes any mistakes, just give her a few words of advice. You can just wait for the Yan family to come and take her. The rest will be handled by grandma."
Jiang Nian has really broadened his horizons. What grandmother would let her granddaughter learn those seductive tricks before she even gets married?
And have a child? The wife is not pregnant yet, but the concubine is pregnant first. Not to mention that the wife does not agree, the Yan family cannot afford to lose this person.
But then again, her grandmother herself was promoted from a concubine, and she taught those methods to Feng, who then taught them to her daughter, so it can be considered a continuation of the tradition.
"Grandmother, are you going to help your granddaughter make the decision?"
"Yes, you just returned home and you don't know many people yet. So, won't your grandmother help you with some things?"
Jiang Nian sneered in his heart. This kind-hearted elder wouldn't even believe it if he told him about it.
"Grandma, I know you care about me, but that old woman is so cunning. She didn't even take a grown-up girl like me seriously when she came to my courtyard. How could such a person offend your eyes? I will sell her out directly."
"What? You!"
"What's wrong, Grandmother? Is there something special about that old woman that my granddaughter can't deal with?"
Madam Jiang felt guilty and immediately changed her expression: "It's okay, she's just an old woman who cleans toilets, I'll sell her off if I want."
It's not reassuring to keep that person in the mansion. She won't live long anyway, so just sell her off to avoid being an eyesore in the mansion. The woman's indenture is not in the mansion to begin with, so we can send someone out to check for it. It would be best to sell her off to the capital to prevent future troubles.
Mrs. Jiang didn't realize it until she left Qingfang Courtyard. Wasn't she here to punish Jiang Nian? Instead, she let that little bitch take advantage of her.
But as long as she obediently becomes Yan Qingsong's concubine, she won't cause any trouble.
As soon as the person left, Jiang Nian stopped smiling and looked at Baozhu: "Have you arranged everything?"
"Don't worry, young lady. My cousin used to work for a human trafficker, so we have some connections. If you give him some money, it shouldn't be a problem to get him to do something about it."
For fear of delaying things, Baozhu quietly left the house after Mrs. Jiang left last night and hurriedly woke her cousin up from his sleep.
"I can't leave the house these days, so I'll leave the outside affairs to your cousin. Tell him that as long as he does a good job, I won't treat him unfairly."
Baozhu bowed and said, "Thank you very much, young lady. Don't worry, although my cousin doesn't have a legitimate business, he is a decent man and will not ruin your business."
This little girl, who was afraid that she would punish her last night, spoke very coherently today. She must have been by her side and shared a lot of worries with her in her previous life.
"Did you also deliver the prescription I asked you to deliver yesterday?"
"They've all been sent there. My cousin said he'll go to Wanfu Hall after he settles the people down. He told the young lady to wait for a few days and he'll definitely get things done."
Jiang Nian nodded. Even if she was anxious, it would be of no use. Things had to be done step by step. This matter could not be rushed.
In the following days, Jiang Nian was so quiet that everyone in the mansion almost forgot what happened that night. During this period, only Old Madam Jiang sent someone to deliver things, and everyone in the mansion thought she had accepted her fate.
Although the Yan family is a good family, Yan Qingsong is not a good person.
Yan Qingsong pretends to be gentle and polite, but he is actually a hypocrite.
No one understands this better than the Jiang family.
The daughter-in-law chosen by Madam Yan is from a marquis's family, a concubine? No matter how you think about it, she won't have a good life in the future.
It is autumn now, and Yan Qingsong will get married after the New Year. If she cannot cancel the engagement, she will have no choice but to become a concubine of the Yan family. She must plan for herself.
"girl!"
My thoughts were interrupted when Baozhu ran in excitedly with the medicine she had just brought back: "Girl, it's done!"
