"Madam, please spare me. It wasn't me. How dare I murder you? It wasn't me..."

The maid turned pale with fear and kept denying it, but she couldn't explain why.

She was following the old lady's orders and deliberately made things difficult for Jiang Wansang, but she didn't expect an accident to happen, so of course she couldn't say anything.

Just as she was panicking, Jiang Wansang seemed to hear her inner thoughts and suddenly said, "You said it wasn't you. Could it be that someone else asked you to bring such scalding hot tea?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're able to serve the old lady. In the entire main courtyard, the only people who can order you to do things are the old lady and Nanny Li, right?"

When these words were spoken, Mrs. Jiang, Meng Lianshu and Mrs. Liu all felt a pang of fear in their hearts.

Jiang Wansang's gaze swept over the three of them, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to see through people directly.

"Could it be that the old lady asked you to prepare such scalding hot tea, hoping that I would make a mistake when serving it, and then punish me? Could it be that my mother and second aunt are holding a grudge against me for what happened last night, but are wary of me being the savior of the Imperial Master, so they came to the old lady to complain and came up with this method of revenge?"

The three of them changed their expressions, obviously not expecting her to guess so accurately.

They really couldn't swallow the humiliation of last night, and were also afraid of Master Pei, so they came up with this idea.

The three of them exchanged glances, and finally, Liu couldn't hold back any longer. With the anger of having her thoughts exposed, she spoke: "We are your elders. If you do something wrong, you should be punished. Even the Imperial Master can't do anything about it!"

"is it?"

Jiang Wansang still smiled calmly and pointed at the roof. "The person the Imperial Master sent to protect me is right there. Why don't we ask him to go back and ask the Imperial Master if he has any say in the matter of my lifesaver?"

She had witnessed last night how useful Pei Zhanzhou's name was in the Jiang family, so she naturally used it without hesitation this time.

The secret guard on the roof: "..."

Although the master told him not to hide his whereabouts anymore, even Jiang Gaoyuan's secret guards didn't notice him entering the Prime Minister's Mansion. How did Miss Jiang find out?

He has been observing Miss Jiang for so long, but he still can't tell that she is a martial artist?

Old Lady Jiang and the other two subconsciously looked up at the place she pointed, but they saw nothing and felt inexplicably panicked.

They were unwilling to believe that the State Master would attach so much importance to a bastard, but they did not have the courage to gamble on the State Master's affairs.

Looking at their faces that were blue, purple, and even a little green, Jiang Wansang smiled sarcastically.

She beat up so many people with her own hands last night, but they still thought she was an easy bully. But now they were scared just by hearing Pei Zhanzhou's name.

It seems that she was not cruel enough last night!

Jiang Wansang glanced lightly at everyone and had no intention of taking action at this time.

Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion owed a debt to the original owner. If they simply burned everything down, it would not be enough to offset the suffering the original owner had endured over the years.

She will slowly make these people lose everything they care about, repay what they owe to the original owner, and by the way, let these people help her deal with Jiang Zihan and Su Huanyu.

After a long, eerie silence, Meng Lianshu spoke first, "You daring slave! You must have been instructed by Nanny Li to deliberately play along with her in this drama, so she can gain a reputation for loyalty and protect her master, and then get benefits from the old lady. You are truly greedy and unforgivable!"

After all, she was the prime minister's wife, so she thought quickly and directly put all the blame on Li Ma, thus preserving the reputation of Old Lady Jiang without offending the Imperial Master.

If Jiang Wansang wasn't involved, she would have wanted to applaud her.

The maid was not stupid, so of course she would not jump out and identify Old Madam Jiang, so she accepted Meng Lianshu's questioning.

Jiang Wansang knew what was going on, but she didn't expose it, nor would she let it go. "I never thought that Nanny Li, who has served the old lady for so many years, would still harbor such greed. The old lady must punish her severely."

She looked at Old Madam Jiang with an air of filial piety, "If you can't bear to do it, why don't I ask the Imperial Master how to handle this?"

Meng Lianshu's expression was stiff and ugly. "This is the Jiang family's family affair. Why bother the Imperial Master?"

Jiang Wansang smiled but said nothing.

Of course, she would not bother Pei Zhanzhou with such a matter. After all, he had not yet agreed to accept her as his adviser.

She said this just to let Old Lady Jiang personally order the punishment of Nanny Li, and at the same time test the depth of the relationship between the master and servant.

Nanny Li has served Old Madam Jiang for so many years. She should be the person in the world who knows the most secrets of Old Madam Jiang, right?

Jiang Wansang didn't continue to dwell on this topic. "Mother is right. I believe the old lady will handle this impartially."

She brought the topic back to herself, "Old Madam, the tea is gone. Do you still want to pay your respects?"

Old Mrs. Jiang felt a sudden panic in her heart, and she felt that what had just happened was all related to the person in front of her who had changed so much.

But Jiang Wansang just stood there without moving, and the maid who served tea and water was also hers. It was impossible for her to be bribed by Jiang Wansang, nor was it possible for her to be so careless as to fall down at such a time. All this seemed like a coincidence.

But the women in the deep mansions least believe in coincidences.

Could it be that someone arranged by the Imperial Master is secretly helping Jiang Wansang?

But in just a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Mrs. Jiang's mind.

She looked at Jiang Wansang, who remained calm and composed, and rubbed her forehead with a headache. "I'm feeling a little unwell today. You all should go away."

Meng Lianshu and Liu were hesitant to speak, especially Liu, whose expression was clearly full of reluctance.

Jiang Wansang ignored them, casually bowed, and turned away.

When she reached the door, she seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to look at Meng Lianshu, "Mother, as the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, please deliver the things you promised to give me last night to Tingsang Pavilion as soon as possible."

"I plan to personally bring some goodies to the Imperial Master's residence later to thank the Imperial Master for arranging someone to send me back last night."

It was a blatant threat, but Meng Lianshu could not refuse it at all, except that her face became even uglier.

So not long after Jiang Wansang returned, boxes of good things were delivered to Tingsang Pavilion.

It was the first time that Zheliu saw so many good things. He stood there in a daze for a long time. He even pinched himself to make sure he was not dreaming. He immediately ran excitedly to take all the things in person.

She also went to the warehouse to get an empty box and picked out some things.

Jiang Wansang was curious about what she was doing.

Without even looking up, Zheliu explained as she chose: "Aren't we going to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion? I have to choose some good things to thank the Imperial Preceptor."

If it weren't for the protection of the Grand Master, these things would definitely not have reached Tingsang Pavilion.

Jiang Wansang laughed and took the box from her hand. "Silly girl, the Imperial Master's Mansion doesn't need these things of ours! Just sort them out and put them all in the warehouse."

As for Pei Zhanzhou, I believe that everything that happened in the main courtyard must have reached his ears!
