Although Jiang Wansang has been busy with Shisanying's affairs, she knows that Jiang Gaoyuan and his wife will deal with her at the birthday party, so of course she can't do nothing.

Now Zhe Liu is able to take charge of things on her own in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is natural that she is the one who keeps an eye on Jiang Gaoyuan and his wife.

Within two days, she really noticed Meng Lianshu's little movements.

"Miss, a while ago, the nanny beside Madam brought back a lot of portraits of men, but I don't know what they are for."

The maid in charge was very vigilant and held the portrait tightly in her arms as she went back and forth. If the people arranged by Zheliu had not deliberately bumped into it, the content on the portrait would not have been discovered.

"After the nanny entered the lady's room, she called everyone out. No one knows what she said to the lady in the room."

Zheliu was afraid of alerting the enemy and causing trouble for the young lady, so he didn't dare to investigate too much.

"A portrait of a man?"

Jiang Wansang was stunned.

Although Meng Lianshu is old, she secretly collects a large number of portraits of men in her room.

Could it be that spring has arrived and it’s time to cuckold the Prime Minister?

Jiang Wansang perked up. "Everyone's been busy preparing for the Prime Minister's wife's birthday banquet lately. They must be tired."

"Zheliu, go to the Prime Minister's residence and spread some gossip to cheer everyone up!"

She didn't hide the malicious smile on her face at all. "It's said that the Prime Minister is old and beginning to be unable to do his job, forcing the wife to secretly hide a portrait of a man in her room to relieve her loneliness..."

Jiang Wansang spoke every word happily, but Zheliu blushed with embarrassment.

The lady is really too bad!

But...what's going on that she feels like she likes it so much?

Zhe Liu felt that she had become bad, but she did not question Jiang Wansang's orders at all and immediately ran to do the work.

Looking at her slightly happy back, Jiang Wansang suddenly felt a little guilty.

Why did she feel like she had led a cute and kind little sheep astray?

Jiang Wansang silently chanted "Amitabha" in her heart to shake off the guilt and waited to see the good show in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As the head of the family, Jiang Gaoyuan really didn't focus much on his family, so the news spread throughout the house and even had a tendency to spread outside before he finally heard the news.

According to Zhe Liu's feedback, Jiang Gaoyuan was so angry that he slapped Meng Lianshu in front of all the servants, and then dragged him into the house with a gloomy face.

Faced with the furious Jiang Gaoyuan, no one dared to move forward, but the cursing and smashing sounds coming from the house from time to time were clearly heard by everyone.

Later, no one knew what Meng Lianshu said, but it not only appeased the furious Jiang Gaoyuan, but also made him personally deal with those servants who were gossiping.

Although Jiang Wansang didn't know what the couple said, she could guess that Meng Lianshu's words to appease Jiang Gaoyuan were most likely related to what she was going to do to her at the birthday party.

Could it be that those portraits of men were prepared for her?

Jiang Wansang has always been suspicious and sensitive, and she guessed the general idea from these clues.

But she didn't know the specific situation yet, so she had to find out before the birthday party so that she could make preparations early.

But before Jiang Wansang had the time to investigate, someone took the initiative to bring clues to him.

It was Concubine Zhou from the second house.

Aunt Zhou is a clear-headed person. Although Jiang Wansang verbally agreed to accept her kindness, Aunt Zhou knows in her heart that if she is useless, Jiang Wansang will not accept her out of kindness.

She knew that Jiang Wansang was going to deal with the people from the first wife's house, so since she left Tingsang Pavilion that time, she had been paying attention to the mansion, especially the actions of the first wife.

Although Aunt Zhou had secured a stable second half of her life in the second house, with her smart and decisive personality, she naturally would not rely entirely on Liu's kindness for the stability of her second half of her life.

So during these years in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she also trained a lot of her own people, which really allowed her to discover Meng Lianshu's actions.

"The portraits of men that Madam has found are all young talents from the Imperial City. Their reputations are mixed, and the forces behind them are complex and complicated."

"Most importantly, these men are not married."

Aunt Zhou spoke briefly and to the point, without asking for anything in return. She simply told everyone what she knew.

"I don't know who the lady chose. After getting rid of those portraits, she had a portrait of the young lady painted and sent it out."

Aunt Zhou has been running the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years and has not had much contact with the outside world, so she doesn't know where Meng Lianshu had the portrait sent.

Jiang Wansang had been listening silently to Aunt Zhou's words. No emotion could be seen on her face, but her dark eyes were getting colder and colder.

At this point, if she still can't guess what Meng Lianshu is planning, then her name should be written backwards!

Oh, you want to make a fuss about her marriage?

She wanted to see if they could bear the consequences!

Although Jiang Wansang was angry about the news, she did not lose her mind and quickly thought of the point of doubt.

Jiang Gaoyuan has always wanted to use her and Jiang Zihan as bargaining chips for his future career, so he has been wavering between several princes over the years.

Now Jiang Zihan has completely tied Su Huanyu down. Logically speaking, given Jiang Gaoyuan's personality, he would definitely not easily arrange her marriage.

But Meng Lianshu convinced Jiang Gaoyuan that something else must have happened behind the scenes.

Jiang Wansang quickly guessed various possibilities in his mind, but did not show it on his face.

She looked at Aunt Zhou who had been waiting beside her. The latter stood there properly with her hands clasped, obviously aware of her identity.

Jiang Wansang was happy to work with someone so sensible and intelligent, and her attitude towards her was gentle and respectful. "Thank you, Aunt Zhou, for personally delivering this message. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you."

This is a kind of promise, agreeing to owe Aunt Zhou a favor.

Although it was just a verbal promise, Aunt Zhou still believed in Jiang Wansang's character and felt a little relieved.

In each of these confrontations with the eldest wife, the eldest daughter always had the upper hand, which is enough to show her ability.

If the eldest wife fails in her attempt to influence the eldest daughter's marriage this time, they will have nothing to threaten her with.

Then her decision to take the initiative to stand on the side of the eldest lady was the right bet!

After sending Aunt Zhou away, Jiang Wansang asked Zheliu to prepare some gifts and send them to Aunt Zhou secretly.

Jiang Wansang has always been generous to his own people. Although he promised to reward them in the future, he still gave them the necessary thank you gift.

As for Meng Lianshu who was against her...

Ah!

I hope this birthday will be the most unforgettable one in Meng Lianshu’s life!

Jiang Wansang planned to take the initiative and make sure Meng Lianshu had no extra time to think about her marriage on her birthday.

But before she could start planning her actions, Pei Zhanzhou came rushing to her door.

The first thing he said when he saw Jiang Wansang was a gloomy question: "If this national teacher kills Meng Lianshu, will it affect your plan?"
