Because of the sudden news, Shen Zhaoyan was ready to return to Beijing immediately to completely resolve the Tongzhou matter before the emperor left for Beiyuan.

When she was about to leave, Shen Zhaoyan gave her a rare good look and said, "See you later."

"Work hard to live." Jiang Xuening left without looking back.

She was unfazed by Shen Zhaoyan's departure, and her only thought was that there was not much time left for her.

That afternoon, she personally visited several dental shops and bought two maids aged thirteen or fourteen, named Yun Ni Que Ling respectively.

Both of them died in the family, so they had no worries about their life experiences. With some good training, he will be able to become her right-hand man when he comes to Beijing in three years.

That night, the Duke's wife summoned her and handed her a box containing 3 taels of silver notes.

Jiang Xuening immediately refused, "I can't take this money from Aunt Su Qiu."

The Duke's wife held her hand and said, "Listen to me, this money was left to you by your mother."

Things happened one after another in the Gu family back then, so Gu Yuchan probably sensed something was wrong, so Gu Yuchan included 3 taels of silver notes in her birthday gift.

She was in Beijing at that time, and the whole capital was about to be stormy. So she accepted the check without saying a word or saying anything.

Sure enough, Gu Mingyue died tragically within a month, and the Gu family was completely destroyed. Although the emperor did not explicitly order the execution of the nine clans, all direct descendants of the Gu clan died, and most of the collateral descendants also met a miserable end.

On the day when the news of Gu Yuchan's death came, she spent the whole night reciting sutras in the Buddhist hall.

The Duke's wife told her solemnly, "Among the people closest to the Gu family, you are the only one left alive. You must live well and don't let your mother down."

Until the end, she was arranging a way out for her.

Gu Yuchan was planning to send her away, but suddenly she died of illness.

The Duke's wife had doubts about Gu Yuchan's death, but unfortunately the situation at that time did not allow her to take any action.

The Duke's wife hesitated for a moment and didn't say much. The anger in Jiang Xuening's eyes was too strong, and she didn't want her to bear too much too soon.

Jiang Xuening walked out of the yard and slowly exhaled. The hatred in her heart could only be quelled by the blood of the royal family.

The next day, Jiang Mansion's carriage came to pick her up early in the morning.

Qin Weiyun didn't come in person, but her confidant Nanny Zhou came.

Jiang Xuening did not take Qiao, and was very cooperative and prepared to return home.

She said everything that needed to be said last night. She bowed to the Duke's wife in a polite manner, "Thank you Aunt Suqiu for taking care of her these days."

The Duke's wife helped her up with her own hands, "If someone bullies you, write to me."

Neither of them were people who showed their emotions. There was no scene where they hugged each other and cried, and they said goodbye indifferently with a smile.

As soon as Jiang Xuening's carriage entered the gate of the Yushi Mansion, the concierge's mother-in-law quickly went to the main room to report the news.

In the main room, Qin Weiyun was leading four concubines from Jiangzhou, and the two concubines were waiting for Jiang Xuening to come and greet her.

As for her biological children, Jiang Xuening was not worthy of waiting for them so early in the morning.

She picked up the hot tea and took a sip. Now that she had entered the Jiang family's door, she had to follow her rules.

After Jiang Xuening got off the carriage in the outer courtyard, no sedan came to pick her up.

Nanny Zhou said politely, "Madam has been waiting in the yard early in the morning. Miss, please come with me."

Aunt Zhou led the way, and Jiang Xuening slowly followed behind. Are you trying to intimidate her by not arranging a sedan chair for her and letting her walk there by herself?

Aunt Zhou walked very fast, while Jiang Xuening moved slowly step by step like a snail.

She looked at everything familiar and unfamiliar in the house, and easily recalled the way back to Tinglan Pavilion.

Halfway through, she walked directly to the other side with the three maids behind her.

The little maid next to Grandma Zhou reminded in a low voice, "Mammy, the second young lady has gone to the other side."

Aunt Zhou suddenly turned around and said loudly, "Second Miss, you are on the wrong track."

Jiang Xuening seemed to be deaf and walked forward in silence.

By the time Nanny Zhou caught up with her out of breath, they had already walked outside Tinglan Pavilion.

Aunt Zhou quickly stepped forward to stop her, her tone was not very good, "What are you doing, Miss Second?"

"Go back to the courtyard." Jiang Xuening said calmly, "The patriarch's wife promised that I will continue to live in Tinglan Pavilion after I come back."

"According to the rules, Second Miss, you have to go and greet Madam first." Aunt Zhou dissuaded her.

Jiang Xuening said with a half-smile, "Oh, my feet hurt when I walk. I have to go back to my room to rest."

Aunt Zhou got angry and said, "Second Miss, this is Jiangnan, not the countryside. You must follow the rules."

Jiang Xuening was neither angry nor inferior to her for being so obvious. She spread her hands and said, "I just can't walk anyway. Why don't you carry me there!"

Grandma Zhou was so angry that she blurted out, "Second Miss, you..."

"What are you doing? You, a slave, have the qualifications to instruct me to do things." Jiang Xuening turned around faster than flipping through a book and kicked her over. "If you dare to block me again, I will break your legs."

As Qin Weiyun's confidant, Grandma Zhou has always been favored, and she has not been treated like this for a long time. Under Jiang Xuening's fierce gaze, Grandma Zhou quickly realized that the person in front of her was not easy to handle. She lowered her head and said, "I overstepped my bounds, please forgive me."

Jiang Xuening walked past her without looking sideways, "Tell the second lady that I have to visit my mother's memorial tablet first and let her arrange it as soon as possible."

The servants of Tinglan Pavilion watched this big drama at the door silently. They didn't even give Aunt Zhou face, so who were they? Everyone immediately cheered up and carefully waited on the newly returned master.

This is the effect Jiang Xuening wants. Qin Weiyun plays a show of power with her, so don't blame her for killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Qin Weiyun waited in the main room for a long time, and found Nanny Zhou who was limping.

Grandma Zhou knelt down as soon as she entered and did not dare to tell the truth in public, "Second Miss, her feet hurt, so she went back to the yard to rest first."

Several aunts looked at each other and had something to hide.

"Let the others disperse first. I'll go see her." Qin Weiyun said calmly.

Once everyone leaves, the door closes. Her face immediately turned cold and she said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Nanny Zhou told the story in a low voice, not daring to look at Qin Weiyun's face.

Qin Weiyun sneered, "She has to offer incense to her mother before coming to see me. She is reminding me that I will always be just a concubine in front of her mother. Even in front of the memorial tablet, I have to perform the concubine ceremony. What a vicious person. The girl."

As soon as he came back, he didn't play according to the routine and directly poked her in the heart.

Qin Weiyun quickly suppressed the anger in her heart, "The main wife is great, right? Sooner or later, I will make her lower her noble head and regret what she said today."

The struggle in the back house has disappeared. Since Jiang Xuening dares to come back, she must teach her how to behave.
