He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

But he quickly realized that it didn't matter whether Jiang Lingyi was really ill or fake. What was important was how his brother should behave after learning about it.

After rummaging through the small warehouse and finding a few rare supplements, Jiang Huan asked his servant to deliver them to Jiang Lingyi, and told her to take good care of her body and not be in a hurry to return home at this moment.

…

Prince's Mansion.

Jiang Lingyi slept for a long time before faintly waking up. When she opened her eyes, she faced Chu Nanchen's face full of concern.

He raised his hand and touched Jiang Lingyi's forehead. After feeling that the temperature had dropped a lot, he felt a little relieved.

He called the girl to bring the chicken soup that was still warm, and Chu Nanchen fed Jiang Lingyi to drink it himself. Jiang Lingyi immediately refused, saying that it would be fine if Yun Lan did this, but Chu Nanchen insisted, and in the end Jiang Lingyi had no choice but to let him go. .

At this moment, the boy sent by Jiang Huan delivered the supplements. Jiang Lingyi was slightly surprised, but she asked Yun Lan to accept them and asked the boy to convey her gratitude.

After Jiang Lingyi finished the bowl of chicken soup, Chu Nanchen wiped the corners of her mouth and asked casually: "Master Jiang, are you being nice to Jiang Er?"

There was a smile in Jiang Lingyi's eyes, and she nodded towards Chu Nanchen, but Chu Nanchen saw clearly that Jiang Lingyi's smile did not reach his eyes.

So Chu Nanchen understood in an instant that the entire Jiang Guogong Mansion was not good to Jiang Lingyi, but Jiang Huan, among this group of not so good people, could be considered the best.

Seeing the flash of thought in Chu Nanchen's eyes, Jiang Lingyi knew that his goal had been achieved.

Jiang Huan is her ally, and as the first step to gain a foothold in the Prince's Mansion, Chu Nanchen's love is not enough. She also needs a powerful mother clan as her backing, and that mother clan is in power. The person cannot be Jiang Guogong.

Therefore, introducing Jiang Huan to Chu Nanchen was a very important step.

However, what Jiang Lingyi didn't expect was that Jiang Huan had already found an opportunity before she made any move.

Sure enough, it is worry-free to cooperate with smart people.

As she expected, Duke Jiang Guo must be angry at the servants in the mansion at this time, right?

As for Luo Shi, it's not hard to guess. It's nothing more than disappointment and complaint. He was disappointed that she couldn't go home, and complained that her failure to return home after three days had made Jiang Guogong embarrassed. Between the two, if nothing else, it should be the latter. It accounts for a larger proportion.

It has to be said that Jiang Lingyi controlled the emotions of the two people extremely accurately.

Two days later, Jiang Lingyi's body basically recovered, so her return was scheduled for the next day.

Chu Nanchen originally wanted to accompany Jiang Lingyi, but was rejected by Jiang Lingyi, "His Royal Highness is the crown prince and is busy with government affairs. Although returning home is a big event, it is enough for me alone, not to mention that His Highness just came with me the day before yesterday. My father has taken leave. Taking leave again will inevitably make him feel that His Highness has put too much thought into the relationship between his children. This will be detrimental to both His Highness and me. "

Seeing that what Jiang Lingyi said was reasonable, Chu Nanchen did not insist anymore, but he had some vague guesses in his heart, "I have prepared the things I want to bring back home and put them all in the warehouse. I will let Xunyue take them tomorrow. Go check it out again, and if you think something is wrong, you can make some changes and it shouldn’t be too much trouble.”

Xunyue is the eldest maid next to Chu Nanchen. Before Jiang Lingyi got married, she was in charge of many things in the house.

And Jiang Lingyi also heard the implication of Chu Nanchen's words, which was to let herself take care of the gifts she brought back home, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I've written it down."

Early the next morning, Chu Nanchen went to the morning court, while Jiang Lingyi slept until midnight and got up unhurriedly to freshen up. After breakfast, she went to the warehouse to cut the gifts prepared by Chu Nanchen to half, and then After changing for most of the time, he took Yun Lan and Chuntao onto the carriage.

When Jiang Lingyi arrived at Jiang Guogong's mansion, he was catching up with Jiang Guogong coming back from the early morning court.

The two carriages traveled together, but in the end the groom from Jiang Guogong's mansion gave in and allowed Jiang Lingyi to enter the mansion first.

In the past few days, Jiang Guogong, who had been ridiculed openly and secretly by his rival, was even more unhappy. However, he couldn't bear the fact that Jiang Lingyi's current identity was no longer what it used to be, so Jiang Guogong could only bear it all in frustration.

Duke Jiang got out of the carriage with a pulled face and saw Jiang Lingyi directing the servants to move down the gifts.

Looking at the exquisite and luxurious gift boxes, Jiang Guogong finally felt better. He stepped forward and picked up one, opened it and looked at it. He saw that there were random things inside that were not good in appearance or size. The roots of ginseng were so thin that Jiang Guogong had to suspect that it was a defective product eliminated by the Prince's Palace.

Unwilling to give up, Jiang Guogong opened the second brocade box and looked at it. He saw that there was another pearl hairpin with an average color inside. The hairpin was as dull as the copper one.

Jiang Guogong pursed his lips and looked at Jiang Lingyi with a displeased expression. However, despite the crowd's confusion, he asked dryly: "Have you been cured of your illness?"

Jiang Lingyi responded with a smile: "Well, it will be cured that day."

Jiang Guogong really wanted to ask why he came back now when he could have been fine that day, and brought with him such a bunch of unattractive things.

Jiang Guogong knew without thinking that it was Jiang Lingyi's own idea. If Chu Nanchen had accompanied him, the scene would never be like this.

Thinking of this, Duke Jiang felt even more nauseated. It was not that Duke Jiang's mansion lacked any rare treasures, it was just that Duke Jiang couldn't swallow this breath.

It was obvious that his daughter had married the current prince and became the crown princess, but why was his life getting worse day by day?

Seeing Jiang Lingyi turn around and walk towards the backyard, Duke Jiang hurriedly followed. After there were no people from the Prince's Mansion around, Duke Jiang gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Lingyi, you did it on purpose, didn't you?"

From the postponement of the return gift the day before to the defective gifts today, it was all done on purpose by Jiang Lingyi.

Jiang Lingyi did not deny it, and responded naturally, but the next sentence was a reminder: "Father, now I am the Crown Princess, the future master of the six palaces, so the things I bring back, whether good or bad, you must accept them with a smile."

Originally, Jiang Lingyi marrying into the Prince's Mansion was Duke Jiang's dream, but now that this day has really come, Duke Jiang is a little regretful, because Jiang Lingyi and he are obviously not of the same mind.

After a moment of silence, Duke Jiang threatened coldly: "Jiang Lingyi, don't forget that you can be where you are today thanks to the support of Duke Jiang's mansion. Without me, you are nothing."

"Don't think that you can do whatever you want now that the Crown Prince favors you. When those concubines and wives come in one after another, are you sure you can still keep this favor?

I tell you, a man's favor is always the most unreliable. Only a strong mother family is your greatest confidence. You challenge my bottom line again and again, which is undoubtedly digging your own grave!"

As a man, Duke Jiang thought he knew men better than Jiang Lingyi, just like he could hold Aunt Su in his hands, and when it conflicted with his own interests, he could also watch her die in Jiang Lingyi's hands with cold eyes.

A man's heart has always been ever-changing.

Jiang Lingyi stopped and turned to look at Duke Jiang, with a dangerous and playful expression on her lips. "Father, don't worry. I have always remembered my identity as the daughter of the Jiang family. After all, if I accidentally violate the taboo of His Highness one day, I will have to rely on the Jiang family to share the blame for me."

Duke Jiang's face suddenly sank.

He wanted to work with Jiang Lingyi to create a prosperous Jiang family, but Jiang Lingyi wanted the Jiang family to clean up the mess for her. How could he have such a daughter?
