It was quite tiring to walk around the entire house, so I only took a general look at it. The rest was introduced by Nie Cheng'an.

The servants of the Ji family had already left, and there was no way to sit down and rest and drink tea, so Mrs. Wang suggested going to Jiujiangli for lunch.

As soon as I walked to the small garden at the second gate, I heard a loud man's voice.

"You want to get away from the door!"

Mrs. Wang immediately showed an interested expression and slowed down her pace.

Mo Chenxi didn't know who lived next door and was curious.

In ancient times, there were also couples who quarreled and wanted to divorce. It seems that in this family, the woman wanted to divorce, but the man refused.

I don’t know which woman is so brave.

Seeing Mrs. Wang slow down her pace, she smiled secretly, thinking that people from all ages and backgrounds, both Chinese and foreign, love gossip.

There was a quarrel next door, but I couldn't hear it clearly.

Mrs. Wang smiled at Mo Chenxi and whispered, "Come to my place after dinner and I'll tell you."

Nie Cheng'an frowned. It was not that this house was too much to his liking, but he really didn't want to live next door to a big shot.

He thought for a moment and asked his eldest sister and the others to go out through the back door. He went out first to drive the carriage to the back door to avoid meeting the eldest sister.

After Nie Cheng'an dropped them off, he said he was going out to do something and would come to pick them up later.

There is a private room on each of the second and third floors of Jiujiangli. It was Mo Chenxi who specifically proposed to add soundproofing. It was also because she had read a novel. Coincidentally, it was about a middle-aged couple who were getting divorced and went to the restaurant to talk. A concubine was curious about what the middle-aged couple talked about during the divorce, so she asked her son to go to the restaurant's private room in advance to dig a hole in the wall and cover it with a painting.

So she thought of soundproofing a private room and reserved it for her family to dine in, so that no one could hear her.

Only the Mo family and Wang Dong's family know about these two rooms. When there are not many guests, no one will be arranged in these two rooms.

Wang Jingye had booked the room on the second floor all year round, so they went to the third floor.

As soon as they reached the third floor, they saw Madam Jiang coming out of a private room. Seeing them, she stepped forward and saluted with surprise, "Sister Wang, Sister Mo, you are here. It's my treat today."

Look at how sweet they are, it seems like they are very familiar with each other.

Mrs. Wang smiled brightly, "No, no, it's my turn to treat Mrs. Mo today. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I want to have a meal and talk together."

Madam Jiang seemed to have failed to grasp the implication that outsiders were not allowed in, and followed them inside. "It's alright, we're already so familiar with each other. I've always wanted to invite Sister Mo, but I heard she was recuperating at home and not seeing guests, so I didn't bother her. It's such a coincidence that I met you two today, so I'll treat you."

She followed them into the private room, and politely asked them to sit down, and she sat down next to them.

Seeing that her sister was curious about her age and did not look very scared, Mrs. Wang did not drive Mrs. Jiang out, but wanted her sister to gradually adapt to the outside environment.

Mrs. Jiang kindly asked Mrs. Wang and the others to order the dishes.

Mrs. Wang was not polite and ordered a few of her favorite dishes. Mrs. Jiang added a few more dishes and asked for a pot of wine.

She actually sat down and refused to leave. After a few words, she started talking about the big shot who has been in the spotlight recently, with a mysterious expression on her face.

"Sister Wang, you haven't seen a big *** yet, right? You'd better stay away from her next time you see one."

Mo Chenxi thought, fortunately this private room is soundproof. If what Madam Jiang said was heard by others and then reached the ears of the princess, she would not be able to bear the food and would leave.

She had also heard about the tyranny of the queen, not only was she at odds with her husband, but she also openly kept a lover.

She hadn't heard the latest rumors yet, but when Mrs. Jiang said that the eldest lady liked women, Mo Chenxi was shocked.

Mrs. Wang had a gossipy look on her face, but she said, "It's better to talk less about the royal family's affairs."

Madam Jiang, who was not afraid of death, said, "Everyone in the capital knows about it. I'm not the only one who said it."

As soon as she finished speaking, a man rushed in. Before anyone could react, the man walked up to Mrs. Jiang, who was shocked with her mouth wide open.

Mo Chenxi saw that the woman who came in was in her thirties, tall, with a man's bun. Although she was wearing women's clothes, she did not have the charm of women's clothes. She was simple, or in today's words, neutral.

He has a handsome appearance and looks very much like Jia Baoyu played by Concubine Lin.

The woman pushed the door open and slapped Mrs. Jiang, who stood up in panic.

"I was wondering who was talking nonsense out there, and it turns out it was you! No wonder Concubine Jiang said that even if she beat your mouth to pieces, you would still talk."

Mo Chenxi understood that the real person behind the incident had arrived. It seemed that when his family came to eat in the future, he would have to post a guard at the door to watch out for the neighbors and also to guard the door.

"You think your daughter is going to enter the palace and you're so proud of it, bah! Even if she enters the palace, she'll still be a concubine. If you want to be the emperor's mother-in-law, don't you consider whether your Jiang family is qualified?"

Mo Chenxi looked at Madam Jiang who was stunned by Wenshan's words. No wonder she couldn't hide the joy on her brows just now.

After Mrs. Wenshan finished beating Mrs. Jiang, the nanny who followed her grabbed Mrs. Jiang's collar, pulled her out, forced her to kneel on the ground, and slapped her several times.

The eldest lady said, "Alright, don't scare the little sister of the Nie family. For the sake of my nephew, please spare her life."

Her nephew is the emperor, so it seems that Madam Jiang is really going to become the emperor's cheap mother-in-law.

When the nanny started to attack, no one reacted. When the nanny started to attack, Mo Chenxi hurriedly hugged Nie Lingxuan in his arms and covered her eyes.

Now that she had let go of her hand, Mrs. Wang couldn't say anything because she was a big sister.

The eldest lady pulled out a chair and sat down. "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I'm the emperor's aunt. You can just call me Wenshan."

How could Mrs. Wang dare to call the Grand Madam by her title? She was a relative by marriage and only the Grand Madam was a royal relative.

She and Nie Chenxi both stood up and saluted, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Wenshan Daxue waved his hand and said, "Don't be so tedious in the future."

Then he turned to Mrs. Wang and said, "I know you are the emperor's aunt. I also know that it was your family that bought the Ji family's villa. It's good that you did it. I hate the Ji family. What's wrong with me listening to a song? It makes me feel like I'm plagued. I haven't come to stay here for more than ten years. It's better for you to move in so that you can visit us in the future."

Mrs. Wang said tactfully, "My little sister needs to rest."

She felt terrible. What if the eldest sister saw her sister-in-law Xiao and fell in love with her?

Beware of both men and women!

Wenshan said, "I know. From now on, I won't listen to music in that princess's mansion."

She immediately softened her tone and said to Nie Lingshan, "Little sister, would you like to come over to my place someday? I have a great shadow play there."

Nie Lingxuan whispered, "I'm not going."

Wenshan was not angry at all. He said to Mrs. Wang, "She is not familiar with it. Once she gets familiar with it, she will like it. Everyone likes watching shadow puppetry."

She didn't stay long and said she would continue after moving.

She walked to the door and turned back, saying to Mo Chenxi, "You are Madam Xiaojie, right? I've heard of you."

Mo Chenxi quickly stood up again.

"I have a good friend who has been dreaming about her great-aunt for the past two months. I'd like you to help me see if her great-aunt has something to say to her."

Mo Chenxi was embarrassed.

It turns out that I had heard of her in this regard.

Ms. Wenshan left without waiting for her to say whether she agreed or not. Then again, how could Mo Chenxi dare to say no?

I heard that the Queen Mother couldn't afford to offend her.
