"He Lu was the youngest daughter of Doctor Du, a renowned doctor in the west of Phoenix City. She grew up surrounded by a family atmosphere of literature and medicine, and possessed a gentle personality and a kind heart. Unfortunately, things can go awry. A few months ago, Doctor Du died after treating a patient, leading to a murder case. Doctor Du was imprisoned and sentenced to death. His family, in order to compensate the victim's family, was left with a mountain of debt, and they had no choice but to sell He Lu to a pharmacy for silver."

"As for Lan Zhi, her life story is more complicated than these three."

"This servant also inquired for a long time before she found out that Lan Zhi was actually the youngest daughter of the former Minister Hong. Years ago, Minister Hong was found to have formed a clique for personal gain. The Emperor was furious and had all the male members of the family exiled to Lingnan. The female members of the family became official slaves. Unfortunately, most of them couldn't withstand the imprisonment and died one after another. Only a few of the younger generation were left. Most of the male members died on the way to Lingnan. It is said that only Minister Hong's second and third sons arrived in Lingnan. As for the female members of the family, Lan Zhi was the only one left."

When Nanny Wang found out about He Lu and Lan Zhi's life stories, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Now that Jiang Yun has told it again, she still sighs with emotion.

"Oh, these four girls are more pitiful than each other!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun narrowed her eyes and asked, "Did Dingxiang and Jufang buy them at the mansion?"

Nanny Wang was taken aback and said, "Yes! They were bought by Ma Po before the New Year, but they were never favored by the masters, so Ma Po arranged them to guard the corner gate. Lan Zhi and He Lu were both bought by Concubine Lin later, and they were immediately sent to the young lady for her to choose."

Jiang Yun ignored Lan Zhi and He Lu and continued to ask, "So Ding Xiang and Ju Fang's life stories were learned from Ma Pozi?"

Nanny Wang nodded.

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Mammy, I haven't seen the people who served my mother in this mansion for a long time. I don't know where they were sent to. Mammy, why don't you start from here?"

Nanny Wang narrowed her eyes, a stern look flashing across them. "Young lady, are you saying there's something fishy about Dingxiang and Jufang's backgrounds?"

"Not necessarily, but I always feel that Aunt Lin won't send these four people to me so easily."

"I'll go check it out right away. This time I'll go to the pawnshop that Ma Po mentioned."

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Be careful."

Qinyuan.

Fang Ruoliu was leisurely practicing flower arrangement in the room, humming an unknown tune.

Chunhong standing by no longer had the bitter look she had a few days ago, and now had a smile on her face.

"How is it? Does it look beautiful like this?" Fang Ruoliu put down the scissors in her hand, picked up the vase, turned her head and looked at Chunhong and asked.

Chunhong stepped forward with a smile: "The flowers that Madam arranges are always the most beautiful~"

"Hmph, you only know how to flatter me." Fang Ruoliu said with disdain, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

She moved the branches a few times and placed the vase in the center of the table. She looked at it again and again before she smiled with satisfaction.

Then she looked at Feng Jing outside the window and said calmly, "Is there anything going on in Yuming Hall today?"

Chunhong rolled her eyes, stepped forward, and replied respectfully, "The people from Jinxiu Pavilion are here today to deliver the wedding dress to the young lady."

Fang Ruoliu frowned, "Why did she let Jinxiu Pavilion make her wedding dress? Jinxiu Pavilion is so expensive! Is she worthy of it?"
