Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

The human trafficker was rewarded with a piece of silver and was very happy. Yan Xining only asked a few questions casually, but he wanted to tell her all the information he knew, not only about Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, but also about other mansions.

Of course, he was just a human trafficker and the information he received was limited.

But seeing that Yan Xining was interested in these, he decided to collect more in the future. After all, the princess was generous and the information was easy to obtain.

Something big and small did happen in Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

Last night, Tian Jiaying was so angry that she almost couldn't sleep all night.

She never expected that the Nanny Yu, whom she trusted, would stab her in the back.

When Nanny Yang came to tell her the secret, she still didn't believe it.

But she still sent people to search immediately, and they easily found the envelope. When she saw the contents inside, she almost got angry!

Nanny Yu knelt down in panic and shouted, "Madam, please believe me, I will never betray you!"

Tian Jiaying was so angry that she slapped her face and threw the letter at her feet: "Old hag, you didn't betray me? Why did that slave girl send someone to deliver the letter to you? How do you explain the contents of the letter? And the fifty taels? Why did she give you fifty taels for no reason?"

When Nanny Yu saw the contents of the letter, she was shocked.

There were only a few words in the letter:

"Aunt Yu, thank you for your planning, which gave me the opportunity to return to the capital. I am offering you a small gift as a token of my gratitude. I will do my best to repay your kindness in the future!"

The signature is Yan Xining.

Tian Jiaying was not unfamiliar with this handwriting. After all, after Yan Xining returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she found excuses to punish him and made him copy scriptures several times. She recognized the handwriting.

Tian Jiaying gnashed her teeth in hatred, her eyes as cold as ice. "Well, I thought you were really here to help me, but it turns out you and that bitch have been colluding for a long time, and you're deliberately using this opportunity to get her back, right? I trusted you so much, and this is how you repay me?"

Nanny Yu was panicked.

Others may not know, but she knows it very well. She is only loyal to the Madam. When she proposed to let Yan Xining replace Miss Xueqi, it was all for the Madam and Miss's sake.

Looking at Nanny Yang who was fanning the flames in a subtle way.

She immediately understood that she had been tricked.

When Caizhu had given her the envelope, revealing the banknote, she was struck by the large denomination and, without a second thought, stuffed it into her arms, unaware there was a letter inside. Worried about the banknote being discovered, she hurriedly put it back under her pillow, intending to keep it safe after her shift ended.

She crawled on her knees a few steps to grab the hem of Tian Jiaying's skirt, and spoke incoherently to defend herself: "Madam, madam, you have to believe me. Think about it, was my proposal originally for the sake of the Second Young Lady? Otherwise, if I didn't bring that country girl back, the Second Young Lady would have to marry the Fifth Prince. You saw with your own eyes what kind of physique the Fifth Prince is today. If I really had colluded with that country girl, would I let her come back as a widow? Madam, it was really that country girl who harmed me. She did it on purpose. I understand. She deliberately alienated us..."

"Since you and that country girl weren't secretly colluding, why did she send someone to deliver a letter and money to you?" Nanny Yang scoffed coldly, "When that little girl sneaked up on you earlier, I felt something was amiss. When she gave you the letter, you smiled so happily. Now you're saying it was a rift. Do you think Madam is a fool?"

Yu Ma was filled with regret. She shouldn't have been greedy for money and shouldn't have been so happy at the sight of fifty taels. She hadn't considered the sinister intentions of the slave girl at all.

The longer she stayed with Tian Jiaying, the more she understood that today, she was probably doomed.

Nanny Yang's instigation made her even more furious. Since she was not having a good time, she would never let the person who was taking advantage of her misfortune have an easy time.

She burst into tears and cried, "Madam, I know you won't believe me no matter what I say now, but I am truly loyal to you. I am not like Yang Cuilu, who secretly stole your jewelry to support her son. She also stole a set of the young master's four treasures of the study and gave it to her grandson. She didn't even think about how a lowly slave could use such fine four treasures of the study!"

Nanny Yang's face turned pale and she rushed over to hit him: "You are such a bad-mouthed woman. You did something wrong and you still want to bite others, right? I will beat you to death!"

Yu Ma was also furious. She wrestled with her and cursed, "I am greedy for money, but I only covet wealth from outside. You are a thief in the house. You have stolen my wife's things more than once or twice. You want to harm me, but you don't even consider whether your own bottom is clean or not."

"Yes, you're greedy for money, so you sold out all the information about your wife, you traitor!"

"You're talking nonsense. I didn't do that. Unlike you, you and Manager Zhang made those maids pay protection money to buy a house outside for your son and daughter-in-law. Do you think I don't know?"

The two men wrestled with each other, arguing with each other and making a mouthful of fur.

Tian Jiaying never expected that the two maids she trusted most were not good people.

Her eyes were filled with poison, and she immediately ordered them to be beaten to death on the spot.

Amidst the two's disbelief and desperate pleas for mercy, and amidst Tian Jiaying's rage, they would never believe that they would die like this.

After these two followed Tian Jiaying into the Marquis' Mansion, they married the mansion's steward, gave birth to sons and married their daughters-in-law, all of whom were family members of the Marquis' Mansion. It was not enough to just beat them to death, and their families were not allowed to stay in the Mansion either. So early in the morning, Tian Jiaying had their relatives cleared out and sold them together.

This news was already on Chu Jinxun's desk.

Chu Jinxun chuckled.

His princess is becoming more and more interesting!

Jingfeng came in and reported: "Master, Chief Secretary Bao wants to see you!"

"Let him in!"

When Bao Yishi entered the room, he saw Chu Jinxun leaning on the couch with his eyes closed, and bowed, "Your Highness!"

"Is there anything I can do for you, Chief Secretary?" Chu Jinxun opened his eyes, and a trace of laziness appeared on his delicate face. The sickly paleness made his skin look like it was coated with a layer of moist jade, and there was a sense of brokenness, like a delicate porcelain, which seemed to break at any time.

Bao Yishi calmed himself down and said, "Your Highness, you are not feeling well. Normally, I shouldn't bother you with these trivial matters. But this matter is of great importance, and I have to report it. The princess sold two of her servants today!"

"Hmm!" Chu Jinxun rubbed his forehead, very puzzled: "Then what happened?"

Bao Yishi was slightly startled and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, how could a wealthy family in the capital sell off their servants? Even if they committed a crime, they would be dealt with in the palace. If this person is sold off, it would be like selling two mouths, and other people would know what is going on in the palace."

Chu Jinxun nodded: "What you said makes sense, you can handle those two people!"

Bao Yishi's face was filled with worry: "But the princess said that we have to sell two every month from now on!"

"Did the princess say what the reason was?"

"They said the palace will conduct monthly evaluations, and these two salespeople who cheated and slid are now ranked at the bottom!"

"Listen to her!"

Bao Yishi's eyes widened. "Your Highness, this is impossible! Even if the servants we sold were unimportant, they still know something about the palace. In a few months, the whole capital will know about the palace's affairs!"

"Now that you know, you know. There are no secrets in the palace. Ahem…"

"But if you allow the princess to do this, the servants will panic and harbor resentment, which will definitely affect the stability of the palace. How can you, Your Highness, rest assured and recuperate in peace like this?"

"Ahem...it's okay!" Chu Jinxun felt a growing sense of brokenness. He was weak and distant, like a banished immortal from heaven, cold and indifferent. His voice was faint, ringing in his ears and knocking on Bao Yishi's heart: "Bao Changshi, how long do you think I can live?"
