I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

Chunyu followed Wen Qingzhi's instructions and came to Jiang Yao. "The young lady has already given instructions. The food in the mansion can be used by the young lady for disaster relief first. If there is anything else missing, please let me know."

"okay, I get it."

Jiang Yao and Jiang Nian looked at each other, their lips curled up, their eyes filled with satisfaction and pride.

Seeing this, Chunyu couldn't help but speak, "Madam, my daughter is injured, do you want to go and see her?"

"Injuried?"

Jiang Yao's eyes flashed with worry, but then quickly disappeared. She asked, "Have you asked a doctor to check it out?"

After she finished speaking, she was stunned. "Look at me, what kind of memory is this? Ah Zhi herself is a doctor..."

She looked up and smiled slightly. "I'm busy right now. I'll go see her after I finish the disaster relief work. Just let her recover well."

Hearing this, Chunyu pursed her lips, and although she was dissatisfied in her heart, she didn't say much.

"Yes, I will report the truth. I will take my leave."

She left the room politely, and only started to look unhappy after she left the yard.

'What kind of sister-in-law is this!'

Chunyu grumbled to herself, and when she returned to report to Wen Qingzhi, she was too embarrassed to mention what Jiang Yao had said.

It was not until Wen Qingzhi urged her many times that she said it.

Wen Qingzhi didn't get angry after hearing this.

"From now on, there's no need to inform me about their affairs. Just tell everyone to keep an eye on our own little piece of land. As for them... as long as they don't endanger the Marquis' Mansion, let them do whatever they want."

"Girl, do you mean to give up on them?"

"It's not about giving up, it's about not caring."

Chun Yu was puzzled. "Does it mean something different?"

Wen Qingzhi looked at her with a smile, "You'll know later. Jiang Nian's calculations are nothing more than greater benefits waiting for him, or he wants to use Jiang Yao's hand to bring down the Marquis' Mansion."

She didn't even want to call her 'sister-in-law'.

"As for her exact purpose, I'm still unclear, and I don't want to guess. Anyway... I have a way to deal with it."

"you do not need to worry."

After comforting Chunyu, Wen Qingzhi felt very tired. Just as she was about to rest, Chang Yan's voice came from outside, "Azhi, Master and I are here to see you!"

As soon as the words were spoken, another voice said, "Miss Wen, I'll report the situation."

It’s Zhang Ye.

"Miss, do you want a servant—"

Before Chunyu finished speaking, Wen Qingzhi shook her head and said, "It's okay, let them in. Make me a cup of refreshing tea."

"Yes."

Chunyu went forward to open the door, welcomed everyone in, and then went to make tea.

"Disciple greets Master!"

Chang Baicao came before her and saluted, his eyes fixed on her cheek, "Master, you have suffered."

Zhang Ye was confused and followed to take a look. "What happened?"

Qing Huai's message was not passed on at that time, so it was normal that Zhang Ye was not aware of it.

"nothing."

Wen Qingzhi didn't say: "Your prince, what's going on?"

Zhang Ye was happy when he heard Wen Qingzhi mention Feng Junxiao.

Why?

Because this proves that Miss Wen cares about her prince!

Otherwise, why ask?

Zhang Ye sighed, "The incident happened suddenly, and the prince was ordered to leave the city overnight. Before leaving the city, he also instructed his subordinates to take good care of the Marquis' Mansion."

"Disasters don't happen overnight, and this heavy snow didn't fall in just one day. Didn't anyone report it at first?"

Snowstorms don't happen overnight. To have such a significant impact, there must have been early signs of this, and there may even have been casualties.

Zhang Ye hesitated and said, "No one reported it. Perhaps everyone is just hoping for the best."

"Your prince is truly a brick."

Wen Qingzhi couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Move wherever it's useful. If you do that, I'll really think all the other officials in Beiming are dead."

She spoke directly, which made Zhang Ye feel the same way. "Even for such a trivial matter, my prince has to take action. Even if you don't say it, I still think so."

"However...when it comes to matters concerning the people, the prince always has to do it himself."

"He's kind-hearted."

Hearing Wen Qingzhi's praise of his own prince, he was very happy. He stepped forward and presented a booklet, saying, "Miss, here is all the information about what happened there during your absence. Please take a look."

Wen Qingzhi felt surprised.

When did Zhang Ye's work become so tedious?

She thought that Zhang Ye would come directly to report a few key points, but she didn't expect that this guy actually took notes?

"Okay, I'll finish reading it."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Chun Yu, who was sulking beside her, "Why, who made you angry?"

"Not yet——"

When the words were on the tip of his tongue, he realized he shouldn't have said them, and Chunyu stamped his feet in anger.

"I just went to inform the young lady and told her about the injury. But she said... she would come back to see you after she had dealt with the matter."

She looked around and saw no one else was around. She was so angry that her eyes turned red.

Chang Yan got angry and said bluntly: "She is really a piece of shit!"

"You've suffered so much out there, and what about her? Not only can she not help you at all, but she also makes things worse for you!"

She walked over and sat next to Wen Qingzhi. "I heard that she wanted to provide disaster relief. Isn't this going to drive the Marquis' Mansion to its doom?"

"Needless to say, this idiotic idea must have been Jiang Nian's. If it were you, I'd just give them both a separate residence."

“It would be great if it could be solved so easily.”

Wen Qingzhi yawned and said, "Let them do what they want to do. Don't say anything for a while, or you'll give them something to talk about."

"Have you come up with a plan?"

"Why would we have so many countermeasures? We're just going with the flow. After all, if we don't have food, we'll all starve together."

"what?"

Chang Yan couldn't sit still any longer. "You're not really going to leave everyone starving to death, are you? Sacrificing yourself for others is not acceptable!"

"You've learned how to use words."

Wen Qingzhi's smile grew brighter. Chang Baicao was worried that she might be too lenient with Jiang Yao, so he said, "Master, you should carefully consider this matter. The Marquis' Mansion is not as powerful as it used to be. Furthermore, this incident is before the Emperor, so it's inappropriate for the Marquis' Mansion to intervene."

"No one will take credit for standing up this time. Instead, it will anger others and make them a thorn in their side."

How could Wen Qingzhi not understand what Chang Baicao said?

Now she has offended a noble in the palace, and her life in the Marquis' Mansion will probably become even more difficult in the future.

"If I don't let them do it, I'm afraid that the gap in Little Stone's mother's heart will become even greater. Right now, she's not happy with me letting her mother run the household, and she seems to be unhappy with me running the household too."

"I understand her eagerness to gain fame and prove herself, so... let her do it. She'll figure out what's right and what's wrong sooner or later."

"I don't think so."

Chang Yan took a piece of cake and said, "If your sister-in-law was a clear-headed person, she wouldn't be bewitched by Jiang Nian's words."

"Why should she be so eager for fame? Won't the Marquisate belong to her and Xiao Shitou in the future? You're in charge now because of internal and external troubles. She can't handle it, so this is the case. She doesn't blame herself for being incompetent, but instead blames you?"

"Chang Yan, stop talking."

Chang Baicao said to her and looked at Wen Qingzhi, "Master, do whatever you want. I still have some food there. If it's not enough, ask someone to bring it over."

"Don't worry, you won't be short of food and drink."

Wen Qingzhi glanced at Chang Yan and said, "The grain in the Marquis' Mansion was used for disaster relief, but my father and mother still have some, don't they?"

In an instant, Chang Yan understood what she meant and said with a smile, "You are really amazing."

She was also wondering, given Wen Qingzhi's personality, how could she be so well-behaved and obedient that Jiang Yao and the others would plot against her?

It turns out that I was waiting here.

Sure enough, the older the ginger, the spiciest it is, and Wen Qingzhi is still the most ruthless.

How much food can a marquis's mansion have?

"But……"

She suddenly thought, "If we can't provide food by then, won't the Marquis' Mansion lose face?"

Wen Qingzhi said it didn't matter. "She hasn't thought about this issue. I'm the only one left in the Marquis' Mansion. What does reputation mean?"

"Did the Marquis' Mansion have a bad reputation in the past? What's the point? My father, mother, and brother are dead anyway."

She never cares about details and doesn't care about reputation.

Her words were filled with resentment, and everyone could understand it.

Zhang Ye tried to smooth things over, "That's exactly what happened. The Wen family has devoted themselves to the Beiming region and has always lived in poverty. Everyone understands this."

"How much food is there in the Marquis's mansion, Uncle Wang? Have you told her?"

Uncle Wang, who was hiding in the corner when he was called out, stepped forward immediately and said, "To answer the young lady, I have already said it."

"Then it'll be fine."

Wen Qingzhi waved her hand, "She should be able to arrange the food properly, right?"
