When Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Cai were brought into Lingfeng Pavilion, they were extremely surprised.

Sitting in front of him were the second young lady Shen Qingyin and Madam Mu from the general's mansion.

I never expected that after following the old lady back for a walk, I would end up back at Bixiyuan…

Madam Mu smiled and signaled to Nanny Zhou beside her to hand the couple's indentures to Shen Qingyin.

Then he said to the two of them, "You are no longer members of the Shen family. From now on, Miss Yin is your master. Don't be confused about what to do."

The two of them kowtowed hurriedly: "No, no, we are not confused, but we will do our best to obey your orders."

"Okay, in that case, just tell us as much as you know about the Shen family's affairs." Shen Qingyin said calmly.

The two were stunned: "Second Miss, do you mean anything is fine?"

Shen Qingyin nodded: "Well, as long as it's a secret, tell me everything."

The two old women looked at each other, and after a moment they began to talk nonstop.

"Although the master still goes to the eldest lady's room occasionally, he has not slept with her for a long time. Before, the eldest lady went to the old lady privately to cry and complain. The old lady promised to persuade her, but behind her back, she scolded the eldest lady for being shameless at her age..." said Mrs. Gu.

In her opinion, they had already said last time that the eldest lady was not Shen Qingyin's biological mother.

Shen Qingyin must be dissatisfied with the lady who always treated her badly.

It would be right to talk about the eldest lady’s embarrassing incident first.

"Yes, the eldest lady is very jealous. In fact, the master wanted to take a concubine several times, but because the eldest lady refused to agree, the master had to give up. The reason why Concubine Qing was able to enter the family was because Concubine Qing was the cousin of the old lady, and it was the old lady who facilitated it..." Mrs. Cai also said.

"Although Aunt Qing looks very ordinary, she is much younger than the eldest lady. No wonder the master only likes to go to Aunt Qing..." Mrs. Cai continued.

Mrs. Gu disagreed with her words: "I don't think so. If it were you, the master doesn't like to share a bed with the mistress because she has body odor..."

"It's because Aunt Qing is young and the eldest lady is wearing perfumed powder!"

"No, it's the Madam who has body odor! Aunt Qing is not pretty..."

.......

I could see the two old ladies' gossiping spirits growing stronger and stronger, becoming more and more outrageous.

Shen Qingyin held his forehead and waved his hand, signaling them to stop.

He asked directly: "Do you know Miaomiao's life experience?"

The two of them looked at each other unconsciously again, and suddenly realized.

It turns out that the Second Miss wanted to hear about the Fifth Miss...

"The fifth young lady, she was picked up by the master and brought into the Shen family. The old lady said that she felt sorry for the fifth young lady, so she brought her up with her and raised her personally. We don't know anything else..." The two old women shook their heads in frustration.

It's a pity that they don't know what the second young lady wants to hear the most...

But after a pause, Mrs. Gu said, "I think there is something very strange."

Shen Qingyin stared at Granny Gu and said, "Tell me about it."

"Even when we were in Yuhu County, the old lady never let the fifth young lady show her face in front of outsiders. Once, when there were guests in the front yard, Yang Laoliu's family took the fifth young lady to the front yard. As a result, when the old lady came back, she had someone whip Yang Laoliu's family severely."

"Now that you mention it, I remember that it was indeed the case. It was not until she came to the capital that the old lady stopped restricting the fifth young lady as she did before." After hearing what Mrs. Gu said, Mrs. Cai also said.

Shen Qingyin's heart moved.

Come to think of it, Miaomiao had indeed been staying in the Shen family's backyard when she was in Yuhu County.

There were a few times when she wanted to take Miaomiao with her when she went out, but Miaomiao happened to be unwell or had other things to do and could not go out with her.

Although she always felt regretful, she never thought about it carefully.

Now it seems that there must be something fishy going on.

Not allowing Miaomiao to meet outsiders, is it because they are afraid that Miaomiao will meet acquaintances and be recognized?

Otherwise, what is the need to restrict a child of only a few years old so strictly?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingyin suddenly felt excited.

Miaomiao's family is probably in Yuhu County...

Prince Kang's Mansion.

The New Year is approaching, and the servants in the entire mansion are extremely busy.

Some were cleaning, some were shopping, and some were busy delivering New Year gifts to various mansions...

The servants in Shen Rongyue's yard were also very busy.

But they were not busy with cleaning and shopping, let alone sending New Year gifts, as that was far from their turn.

Several maids and old women were busy every day helping Shen Rongyue take a bath.

Even in very cold weather, Shen Rongyue takes a bath in fragrant hot water every day.

Although she had a small kitchen in her yard and had spent money to buy a large pot to boil water, she did not have a well.

The nearest well was in front of the palace's canteen, several hundred steps away from their yard.

But the maids and old women had to work hard. They took turns fetching water, and after fetching water, they had to hurry to boil the water. After the water was boiled, they hurried to pour it into the bathtub.

After soaking the spices, adjust the water temperature, wait for Shen Rongyue to soak for half an hour, then scoop out the water one scoop at a time, put it into the bucket, and take it out to pour it out.

This would take them almost half a day.

This went on for several days.

There were only four or five people in total, and they were all tired and had back pain.

Shen Rongyue doesn't care about that.

She is in a good mood!

Compared to the first two days after entering the palace, she had been feeling particularly comfortable these days.

The prince was indeed conquered by her charm on the bed. He came almost every night, and occasionally during the day. Every time he came, he was extremely affectionate...

She felt that she was getting closer and closer to success.

As long as she strikes while the iron is hot and works harder.

Even if Shen Qingyin was still alive, there would be no need for Shen Qingyin.

These days, she used silver to get some petals.

Although the petals are dried and collected in spring and summer, they still smell very good when used in a bath.

The prince really likes her, and he always praises her for her fragrance when he hugs her...

After taking another bath, Shen Rongyue lowered her head and smelled the pleasant rose scent on her body. She contentedly instructed Yin Xin beside her to wipe her body, put on her translucent gauze underwear, and then cover herself with a layer of warm winter clothes.

After that, she waited quietly in the room for the prince to come.

While waiting, an impulse suddenly struck me.

Every time it was the prince who came to her room. If she took the initiative to find the prince, would his feelings be different?

Come to think of it, the prince didn't seem as excited as before last night...

As soon as the work was done, he left without staying for long...

It's time for something new and different!

Shen Rongyue made up her mind and took the initiative to find the prince today.

She tightened her winter clothes and walked out of the yard with Yinxin.

Although she had never been to the prince's Zhulanyuan, fortunately she had figured out its location.

Perhaps because the servants were busy, there were no maids stopping her as she went out like in the previous few days.

Shen Rongyue walked all the way to the gate of Zhulan Courtyard and ran into Qin Yueze who was seeing off a guest.
