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

"Brother Wang Yi, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Nian looked up and the snack crumbs in his mouth accidentally fell out and hung on the corner of his lips.

Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, nothing. As long as you like it, I'll bring you more next time."

He scratched his hair uncomfortably, his eyes subconsciously falling on the snacks, gradually becoming gloomy.

"That's too expensive."

Jiang Nian shook his head and refused. "The snacks at Xinghualou are not cheap. How can I bear to let Brother Wang Yi buy them for me all the time?"

Yeah, it’s not cheap.

What Chang Yan bought today is really expensive...

"It doesn't matter, as long as you like it, I will buy it for you."

Wang Yi blushed in embarrassment. Jiang Nian saw this and chuckled, "I can't bear to do that."

Wang Yi didn't know what she meant by this, but he felt sweet in his heart.

"It's windy outside, you should eat inside."

Wang Yi was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he urged her to go back and eat.

Jiang Nian stood up slowly, holding some snacks, and smiled sweetly, "Brother Wang Yi is a great doctor. Even if I catch a cold, Brother Wang Yi will cure me quickly, right?"

She smiled and spun around innocently to express her joy, "So, I'm not afraid!"

Jiang Nian walked towards the house, looking back at Wang Yi from time to time. She found his expression of standing in the snow and staring at her ridiculous.

"Brother Wang Yi, let's go back. It's so cold outside!"

She waved to Wang Yi and turned to go in.

After entering the house, she casually threw the snacks on the table and said, "Sister, Wang Yi has sent snacks again. This time they are much more expensive than before. You should try them too."

She wiped her hands with a handkerchief as she spoke, "Sister, is everything okay with the food?"

Jiang Yao, who was embroidering, accidentally pricked her hand with a needle. She let out a hiss and put her hand in her mouth, her expression dazed. "It's all arranged."

Seeing this, Jiang Nian immediately went over to comfort her, "Sister, are you okay?"

Jiang Yao shook her head. "It's okay. Don't worry, everything has been arranged. Uncle Wang has also given Azhi all the food. Starting tomorrow, we can start giving alms."

"it is good……"

Jiang Yao was nervous, feeling that this wasn't going to work.

Jiang Nian noticed her hesitation, and just as she was about to open her mouth, she was silenced by Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian said, "Sister, don't worry. I've arranged everything."

She sat down next to Jiang Yao, raised her hand to cover hers, and said with concern, "Sister, you are well aware of the current situation in the Marquis' Mansion. Sister Wen would rather let an outsider take charge than let you come. Doesn't she still not trust you?"

"If a woman gets married without the support of her family, she will be bullied!"

"Dad was also furious at the time. After all, you got pregnant before marriage and brought shame to our Jiang family. Who wouldn't be angry?"

"So, this time, let's give our full support and make the Jiang family the biggest winner in this disaster relief effort. Dad will definitely forgive you for what you did before and let you and Little Stone return to the Jiang family."

"Once you have the Jiang family's support, who in the Wen family would dare to look down on you?"

Jiang Nian's words were like a poisonous insect, bewitching Jiang Yao's heart.

She looked at Little Stone playing with the wooden horse nearby, and with a determined heart, she gritted her teeth and agreed, "I understand. Please, sister, please talk to Dad about this matter. It's my fault as an unfilial daughter, so I resorted to this desperate measure. I hope he can forgive me!"

"Don't worry, sister. I will."

Jiang Nian walked to the dressing table and sat down. She picked up a gold hairpin and placed it on the tip of her hair, trying to figure out how to wear it properly.

Jiang Yao looked at her back and fell into deep thought.

……

Early the next morning, Uncle Wang loaded all the food onto a horse-drawn carriage as Jiang Yao had instructed and drove it to the charity site.

He went back and forth several times, but he didn't see anyone there. When he came back, he asked in confusion, "Young Madam, there's no one guarding the alms-giving site. Is everything really alright?"

Jiang Yao's eyes flickered as she shook her head, "It's okay, don't worry, someone will take care of it."

"Yes."

Uncle Wang responded and loaded the last bag of grain onto the carriage. He then reminded Jiang Yao, "Young Madam, this grain is all the grain in the Marquis' Mansion."

"Food is hard to come by in the current situation, and we don't know how long the disaster will last..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Nian interrupted him, "You're just a dog in the Marquis' Mansion. How can you speak to my sister like that?"

All the servants in the marquis' mansion who were helping to transport the food stopped and looked at them.

Jiang Yao's face flushed and paled, and she looked at Uncle Wang awkwardly before she said to Jiang Nian, "Niannian, don't say anything nonsense. Steward Wang is a servant of the Marquis' Mansion, he was just expressing his concern."

Uncle Wang was not angry, and still had a smile on his face.

He retreated respectfully, "Young Madam, everything is ready. If you need anything, just call me."

After Uncle Wang left, Jiang Yao walked up to Jiang Nian and frowned slightly, "Niannian, Uncle Wang is not an ordinary servant. Even when the Marquis' Mansion was in the most difficult time, his family still stood by Ah Zhi. This kind of loyalty is rare, and you must never say that to him again."

Jiang Nian was dissatisfied, but still pretended to be playful and stuck out her tongue, "Oh, I know, sister! I'm just worried about you. I'm afraid that any cat or dog will run over and act wildly on your head."

"You!"

Seeing her 'obediently' admitting her mistake, Jiang Yao poked her forehead with her fingertips helplessly, "Be more careful next time."

"I'll be more careful next time~"

On the other side, after Uncle Wang returned home, he immediately went to Wen Qingzhi's yard and reported the situation to Wen Qingzhi.

"Girl...what are we going to do?"

Wen Qingzhi was silent for a long time before she said, "Let Zhang Liang watch."

Zhang Ye's notes clearly recorded when Jiang Nian contacted the Jiang family and what they had conspired. She had originally thought that Jiang Yao had suffered so much that she would naturally not go along with the Jiang family.

Jiang Nian would coax her and use other means to accomplish this.

Now it seems that Jiang Yao knew about it.

Ha ha……

Taking her family's food to make wedding clothes for others.

If it were the beginning, she would never let Jiang Yao go.

But now, she had a little affection for Jiang Yao and Xiao Shitou, and she felt deep love for them. She thought about how difficult it had been for them, an orphan and a widow, so she treated them with extra care, and even now, she was tolerant of them in every way.

The result? Now they are "eating from the inside out" and using the Marquisate to make wedding clothes for the Jiang family!

The coldness in Wen Qingzhi's eyes was not concealed at all, and everyone present could see it clearly.

Wherever her cold gaze reached, it seemed as if everything would be frozen into ice.

"girl?"

Chunyu stepped forward and poured her some tea. "How about I go over and take a look?"

"Need not."

Wen Qingzhi waved her hand and said, "Go to the Regent's Palace and call Zhang Ye over."

"Yes."

Chunyu retreated and soon led Zhang Yetong in through the back door.

"girl?"

"Zhang Ye,"

Wen Qingzhi sneered, "Just as you wrote in your notes, they took all the food from the Marquis' Mansion and left today."

Zhang Ye was not surprised, he already knew what would happen.

"What does the girl want me to do?"

"Watch them secretly and see what they do. If they really are using our mansion's food to make wedding clothes for others... then destroy it."

"Yes!"

Zhang Ye nodded and left in stealth.

After Zhang Ye left, Wen Qingzhi stood up and shook her sleeves.

"Chun Yu, go hire a troupe of actors and have them sing for me over the next few days!"
