Jiang Mingyue was completely shocked. She opened her eyes wide and stared at Jiang Jiu in disbelief, unable to say anything.

Jiang Jiu sighed slightly in his heart, after all, she was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

He had been protected so well by Jiang Liushi since he was a child that he had never seen the world. He only had those little thoughts that were seen through at a glance.

Such a person, if he entered the Chang family, would be no match for Mrs. Chang.

Perhaps it was because Madam Chang saw through her and realized she posed no threat at all that she suggested letting her enter the palace as a maid.

Without shedding blood, the person would be eliminated. He would either be trapped in the palace for the rest of his life without seeing the light of day, or be quietly killed in the palace.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like getting rid of a burden.

Pianjiang Mingyue still thinks she is very smart and dreams of entering the palace to become an imperial concubine.

"You, how do you know?"

Jiang Jiu rolled his eyes at her with disdain and pointed at his head: "You don't have brains for nothing. You have one, I have one, and Madam Chang has one too..."

"If you don't believe me, you can go back and test her. Tell her you don't want to enter the palace and see what she says."

Jiang Mingyue had a complicated expression on her face, but in her heart she had already somewhat accepted what Jiang Jiu said. After thinking deeply, she really didn't dare to confront Mrs. Chang.

"Why did you come to see me today? Anyway, there's no way I can return my identity."

Seeing her shameless look, Jiang Jiu smiled.

"It's okay. I don't like it anyway. However, you have to remember that if your name is Jiang Jiu, your husband is Lu Yunyang, and his true identity is the Ninth Prince."

"The Ninth Prince is about to enter the capital..."

Jiang Mingyue smiled coldly: "With you here, will he still care about me?"

Jiang Jiu: "Whether he cares about you or not, isn't it just a matter of a word from me..."

Jiang Mingyue stopped talking again and glared at Jiang Jiu, her chest heaving with anger.

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "Why don't we cooperate?"

Jiang Mingyue: "How to cooperate?"

Jiang Jiu: "I won't expose you, but I need your cooperation. As long as you can avenge my mother, I will ensure that you marry a man of your dreams."

"I know you want to marry an official from a wealthy family. There are many of them in the capital. Instead of asking Lord Chang to support you, wouldn't it be more prestigious for the Ninth Prince?"

Jiang Mingyue knew at this time that she was riding on the back of a tiger.

Even if you don’t agree, you have to agree.

"what should I do?"

Jiang Jiu smiled slightly: "To prove your identity, you need an important person, that is my wet nurse, Madam Qian. In two days, she will come to the mansion to look for you. Then you will know."

Jiang Mingyue knew in her heart that Madam Chang had been investigating her, and Lord Chang was always evasive in his words to her. To put it bluntly, he still doubted her identity.

A mere jade pendant cannot prove her identity.

But Nanny Qian is different. She has lived in the Chang family, served Jiang, and was Jiang Jiu's wet nurse. Naturally, she can prove her identity.

After meeting Jiang Mingyue, Jiang Jiu's revenge plan began.

She had just recovered from a serious illness and was tired. After staying for a while, the four of them went back.

The four people did not go to Beijing, but directly lived in Jiang Jiu's villa.

In the capital, Yiye Pingzhou has a lot of businesses. In addition to shops, he also has hundreds of acres of fertile land.

Everything was managed by Qin Yuan's younger brother, Qin Shan. At that time, Qin Shan was still a young man in his twenties, but now he has reached middle age.

After Jiang Jiu appeared in Sucheng, Qin Yuan wrote a letter to his brother, saying that he had found the young master's daughter. Now that Nanny Qian had brought Jiang Jiu back to the capital, Qin Shan came over immediately.

The villa is mostly inhabited by elderly people. Even the maid who used to serve Jiang Jiu's mother has now become a nanny and married a tenant farmer of Yiyebianzhou.

As Jiang Jiu entered the yard, she saw that all the servants who greeted her had red eyes, and a feeling of bitterness welled up in her heart.

Nanny Qian stepped forward, supported her, and introduced her to everyone.

"This is our girl."

Everyone saluted Jiang Jiu together, and Jiang Jiu quickly helped them up.

"No, no, you are all older than me, so let's skip this etiquette when there are no outsiders around."

Aunt Cui, who was about the same age as Aunt Qian, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.

"Like, really like, exactly like the young master when he was young. My lady, when you were born, it was this old slave who delivered you."

Nanny Qian hurriedly introduced her, "She is Cui Cui'er, Madam's personal maid. Madam used to call her Cuicui, but now you can call her Nanny Cui. She used to be Madam's most capable person."

Jiang Jiu understood that a capable person must be smart and efficient at work.

When her mother carried her and ran away, she stayed behind to hold the situation and buy time.

Nanny Cui married the son of Fu Bo, the steward of the villa. After Fu Bo passed away, his son Wang Lai Fu became the steward, and the couple helped manage all the affairs of the villa.

Jiang Jiu took Aunt Cui's rough hand and patted it affectionately: "I was young at that time and didn't recognize people. Aunt Cui, you have worked hard."

The villa is located in the suburbs of Beijing, and the accounts in the city and the accounts of the fields are all checked by Madam Cui.

Wang Lai Fu was in charge of the tenants' harvest.

As soon as Jiang Jiu entered the house, Nanny Cui, Lai Fu, and Qin Shan wanted Jiang Jiu to check the accounts.

Jiang Jiu waved his hand and smiled: "Why are you so anxious? You should at least rest for a few days. Besides, all the elders are carefully selected by my grandmother to be the stewards. My mother trusts you, so naturally I trust you even more."

Aunt Cui gave her daughter Wang Cui Ya to Jiang Jiu as a maid.

Jiang Jiu took a closer look at Wang Cuiya. Her skin was delicate and her hands were washed white. She was not cut out for work at all.

The older generation would cry after eating, so they don’t want their children to suffer. They must have been spoiled by their parents.

"No need. I won't be staying here for a few days. I have to go to Beijing. Let her stay here to look after the house for me."

Jiang Jiu is surrounded by Nanny Qian, Xia Zhi, and Chu Yu, and doesn't want to use anyone else.

Zhao Zhuoxi had been following behind Jiang Jiu, and because Jiang Jiu didn't introduce him, no one dared to call him by name.

But privately, Nanny Qian had already told important people that Zhao Zhuoxi was the ninth prince, and when he was on a secret visit, he didn't need to perform formalities, but he had to show respect.

Aunt Cui was so frightened that she dared not utter a word.

That night, Chu Yu took Jiang Jiu's pulse, wrote out a prescription, and asked the servants to get the medicine. Then several people stayed in the side courtyard, waiting for the Ninth Prince's carriage.

The four of them were in the yard, playing cards after dinner, or drinking and playing rock-paper-scissors. The leisurely days seemed like they were stolen, so pleasant.

The Ninth Prince's journey is extremely difficult. He has to travel a distance and rest for three or four days. Rumor has it that the Ninth Prince is seriously ill and will not live past the age of twenty-five. Now that Princess Qiyang has passed away, he is even more grief-stricken and is afraid that he will not even live past the next year.

The trip was originally supposed to be three days, but it was dragged on for seven or eight days.

Only when the eldest princess and the emperor asked about his itinerary every day did he slow down his journey.

Jiang Mingyue, the most important person in the capital, has become increasingly quiet since returning from the Guanyin Temple.

She didn't know Jiang Jiu's true situation before.

All we know is that her father was a high-ranking official in the capital, and her mother was a concubine. It was said that she fled because her father's family was exiled.

Later, Jiang Liu found out that Jiang Jiu's father was actually Chang Mingyuan, the former Minister of Revenue and later the Left Prime Minister.

Jiang Liu then asked Jiang Mingyue to take the jade pendant and come to find her relatives under a false name.
