"It is said that Aunt Lin was the one who pulled the strings."

"Oh, she's always trying to please me, but why is she pretending to be so noble?" Fang Ruoliu said this sarcastically, and then ordered coldly: "Go and find out how much silver I spent on the wedding dress."

Chunhong respectfully accepted the order and said, "Yes, I will ask someone to find out right away."

Fang Ruoliu nodded.

Chunhong immediately walked out of the kitchen and pulled a little maid standing in the corridor to whisper something to her.

The little maid quickly left Qin Garden.

Chunhong then returned to the room.

Fang Ruoliu didn't look up, but drank her tea.

When Chunhong came closer, she put down her teacup and said calmly, "Have you arranged your trip to the palace tomorrow?"

"My lady, everything has been arranged."

"Well, tomorrow's visit to the palace is very important, and nothing can go wrong."

"Don't worry, Madam. Everything has been prepared as you ordered."

The next day, Fang Ruoliu took Chunhong and boarded the Jiang Mansion's carriage from the main gate, driving all the way to the palace gate.

As soon as she left, the concierge quietly came to Yilanxuan.

Lin Wanyi has been busy preparing for Jiang Yun's wedding these days. In order to avoid any mistakes, she almost did everything herself, and as a result, she lost a lot of weight.

She was having breakfast when she heard the maid say that someone from the concierge came to see her.

As soon as she thought about it, she knew that something might have happened in the mansion.

These days, she was in charge of all matters big and small in the mansion. She treated the servants with kindness and generosity, which also earned her a lot of prestige in the Jiang Mansion.

Recently, many useless women and maids have come to her to surrender.

Lin Wanyi basically accepts all such people, but she will not express her attitude. Instead, she will give them some rewards after they provide some useful information.

Lin Wanyi immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "Let her come in and report."

Her personal maid, Manju, immediately ordered someone to clear away the dishes and then went out to bring the old woman in.

As soon as the old woman arrived in front of Lin Wanyi, she knelt down and shouted, "Madam Lin, I have something important to report."

Lin Wanyi gestured to Manju to help her up and said, "Mammy, if you have anything to say, please stand up and speak properly."

The old woman waved her hand and continued in a low voice, "I saw the lady go out in a carriage early this morning."

Lin Wanyi narrowed her eyes and asked, "Do you know which direction she went?"

The old woman smiled shyly and said, "A few days ago, I saw a man dressed as a eunuch come to see Chunhong, the head maidservant beside the Madam. The carriage was also heading in the direction of the Imperial Palace. I guess the Madam must be going to the Imperial Palace."

After hearing this, Lin Wanyi became even more confused.

Ever since she took over the Jiang family's affairs, Fang Ruoliu has been claiming to be sick and has never left the yard.

You actually went to the palace today while you were sick?

But who should I meet in the palace?

Lin Wanyi lowered her eyes and thought, then suddenly her eyes lit up, and then she stood up with a frown.

Seeing her like this, Manju asked in surprise: "Aunt? What's wrong?"

Aunt Lin looked at the old woman and asked, "Madam, have you been seen by anyone when you came to my courtyard today?"

The old woman shook her head and said, "No, no, I have been avoiding people all the way here, Madam Lin, don't worry."

Lin Wanyi nodded, "Well, you did a good job."

Then she said to Manju, "Go and get Mammy an ounce of silver."

When the old woman heard about the silver, she smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face could kill a mosquito. "Thank you, Madam Lin, thank you, Madam Lin."
