The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Jingxue dismissed Xiaoman's words, saying, "If they think it's too expensive, they can come to the store! Can they even come out? Even if they did, they couldn't possibly come out three times a month. So this is a door-to-door service, it's worth the price!"

The Prince of Zhan's residence was not far from the palace; the carriage had to pass through an alley to get there. As soon as they entered, the carriage stopped.

"What's going on?" Jingxue asked, while using her special ability to go out and check. There were several people arguing outside, blocking the way.

"Your Highness, there is a fight!" the coachman of the Prince's residence replied.

Just as Jingxue was about to speak, the coachman said, "Who goes there? Don't come any closer! Otherwise, I won't be so polite with my whip!"

"Excuse me, are you Princess Consort of the War King? We are from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion!" a man's voice said.

Jingxue lifted the carriage curtain; the people outside had stopped fighting and were standing neatly together.

The person at the front saw Jingxue come out, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist and said, “Young Miss, I am Shadow Armor, the leader of the Shadow Guards of the Zhenbei Prince’s Mansion!”

The people behind them also knelt down and bowed.

Jingxue narrowed her eyes. "Do you have any proof?"

A group of people reached into their clothes and pulled out a small plaque from inside the collar. Jingxue had a good eye and saw that it was a silver plaque that looked quite old, with the character "Jing" on it.

"Get up! Where will you find shelter now?"

Shadow A replied, "We followed the prince all the way to the capital. We didn't dare to enter the city rashly. After splitting into five groups, we wanted to find the young lady, but the Prince Zhan's mansion was heavily guarded. We were afraid of causing trouble for the young lady, so we could only look for an opportunity. We stayed at several inns on West Street!"

Seeing that these people were all dressed as ordinary people, some even disguised as small merchants, Jingxue said, "Shadow A, come back to the manor with me. The rest of you, go back to the inn and wait for orders!"

The crowd answered "Yes!" and quickly dispersed.

Shadow A jumped onto the carriage and sat on the other side of the driver.

Upon returning to the palace, I saw four children laughing and playing with a stack of photos.

When they saw Jingxue return, they all gathered around.

Leap Month's loud voice: "Miss, look at the picture Yingying took of Aunt Liu, it only shows her butt! Haha..."

Jingxue looked at the photo in her hand; she couldn't tell who it was at all!

Yingying explained indignantly, "I saw Aunt Liu washing clothes, so I wanted to turn around and secretly take a picture of her, but she suddenly stood up! But I, but I already pressed the button." She then pouted.

Jingxue patted Yingying's head. Jingze, who was standing next to her, hesitated, but Jingxue knew what he wanted to ask. So she said, "Xiaoze, the Emperor has granted us permission to visit our parents on the 18th of every month!"

"Really? Can I go? How much longer?" Jingze asked excitedly.

"Of course you can go, there are still more than twenty days left." Jingxue cursed the emperor in her heart again.

Jingze nodded, "Can I bring them some delicious food? I'll save all the good food my older sister gave me for my younger brother and sister in Mom's belly!"

Looking at such a sensible child, Jingxue felt a pang of sadness. She knelt down and hugged him. "It's good that you're so thoughtful! There's plenty of food there. You're still growing, so eat well and sleep well. Twenty days will pass quickly. Your older sister will prepare things for our parents then!"

"Okay! I'll listen to my elder sister!" Jingze nodded and said.

"Good boy!" Jingxue patted his back and stood up.

Seeing that the children were still enjoying themselves, Jingxue went back into the house and brought out three more Polaroid cameras and several rolls of photographic paper. She taught them how to load the paper and then let them go play.

Just then, the coachman who had taken people to the estate yesterday returned. "Miss, the head of the estate, Li, asked me to tell you that the first batch of bok choy has sprouted. Steward Yuan and the other estate managers will make arrangements for those people."

Jingxue nodded, "Okay! I understand, you can go and rest now!" After saying that, she led Shadow Armor into the main hall.

"Sit down!" Jingxue pointed to the chair next to her.

"Young Miss, you are the master, I will just stand!"

"If you want to leave, I can give you some travel expenses." Jingxue didn't know these people, and besides, they didn't have indentures and all had martial arts skills. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to manage them!

Shadow A suddenly knelt on the ground. "Young Miss, we are all orphans saved by the Prince. The war destroyed our families. The Prince has treated us very well. We will not leave. We will follow Young Miss's lead!"

Jingxue thought about it and realized that these people hadn't left even after Jing Zhiyuan was imprisoned, which truly showed their unwavering loyalty!

"Get up! Don't kneel down so easily."

“Young Miss, I know you don’t trust us, but rest assured! If any of us harbor any disloyalty, we will deal with that person ourselves without your intervention!”

"The War King's Mansion has its own secret guards, so we don't need so many shadow guards. You can choose two to protect Jingze. The rest of you can go to the shops and the estate first!"

Jingxue was troubled; there wasn't enough room for so many people! It seemed she would have to buy a larger courtyard. The twenty servants remaining in the Prince's mansion already occupied a courtyard next to Jingning Garden.

Jingxue always felt that this was not her home, and therefore felt indebted to Ye Muchen.

They say you can count the money you owe, but you can never count the debts you owe in gratitude!

Suddenly, she remembered something. With so many people added, she could no longer take food directly from her space. Before, it was just her and a few children, and no one noticed.

With so many people around, even the steward of the Prince's mansion is starting to get suspicious, let alone others. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it seems we should bring some grain from the warehouse on West Street to the Prince's mansion!

Shadow A interrupted Jingxue's thoughts, "Miss, we've been following that coachman."

"Oh? Did you find anything?"

"After that guy was released from the Ministry of Justice prison, he rented a small courtyard in the southern city and settled down. I think he's afraid to leave the capital for fear of retaliation or being silenced! He was the last person to enter the mansion and rarely interacts with people, but he's really good at raising horses. These past two days he's started looking for work at the carriage and horse market!"

Jingxue nodded, "It's best if he doesn't dare to leave the capital. I feel that he is just a pawn. There's no need to send someone to watch him separately. Just keep an eye on his movements!"

"Yes, I've got it!"

After lunch, Jingxue took Runyue and Shadow A by car to the warehouse on West Street.

Cheng Sanxiang looked at his boss, whom he hadn't seen for many days, then glanced at Shadow A, hesitated for a moment, and bowed to Jingxue.

Sensing that he had something to say, Jingxue went inside first.

Regardless of anything else, during the leap month, they simply stretched out their arms and shouted, "No unauthorized personnel allowed!"

Shadow Armor looked at the thickly dressed, somewhat sturdy little girl and found it amusing!

I can freeze her in place with just one finger.

"Master, the grain in the warehouse is about to be sold out. Even if you hadn't come today, I would have gone to talk to Manager Cai. The money collected by several shops is still sitting in the warehouse!"
