Princess Cheng married two legitimate daughters, and the total value of the dowry she arranged was similar, and the number and specifications of the servants in the dowry were also the same, but now...

The maids and servants around Princess Kang Yi, including the wet nurse and the head maid, are old and no longer serve her.

But their daughters-in-law or daughters have been trained to become new head maids, and some granddaughters have become first-class maids. They are all house-born children.

There were also some maids bought from outside, and the ones who were reused were still the ones born in the family.

Looking at Princess Kangning again...

Not counting the maids, servants and guards who were on business trips outside, there was also the old woman who was beaten to death by Princess Kangning after she exposed the matter of the real and fake daughter last time.

The entire Jinhua Hall no longer has the people who came as dowries back then. Even the children in the family are managing the farm and shops outside and are not in the mansion.

Prince Cheng was sitting in the main hall of Jinhua Hall, watching the head maid holding a booklet and introducing the maids and servants who were kneeling on the ground one by one. None of them was from Prince Cheng's mansion.

She felt very uncomfortable.

I had never thought about this problem before. I just felt that after more than 20 years, it was natural for the dowry to be transferred and new people to take over.

But after Yuntang said that, she decided to investigate what secret plots Jinhuatang had. When she thought about it a little more, she discovered that the number of people around her two daughters was so different.

Although Corning had her own explanation, she believed that her marriage arrangements for her two daughters were fair.

Now that this change has occurred, she can't help but reflect. However, Kang Yi is not satisfied with her arrangements back then. Is she not satisfied with the staff she used?

But Tang'er told her to come to Jinhuatang to see these people, because what they have done will always leave traces.

Now she found that none of these people were from that period, nor were they family-born children. Isn’t this a trace?

Looking at Kang Ning again, he was indeed very sick, as if he had caught a cold and had been bedridden for at least half a year, but Tang Er said that he did not look sick...

Princess Cheng was upset but determined to investigate, so she signaled her two daughters-in-law to take the people away and interrogate them one by one in two places.

All the servants in Jinhua Hall knelt in the main hall, silent as a mouse. The list in the hands of the head maid was taken away by the head maid from Prince Cheng's Mansion.

After that, one person was called out one by one, and after being questioned, he was directly locked up in another empty room and waited.

It would be difficult to collude in their testimony if they were questioned separately like this, and Princess Cheng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law suddenly came to visit.

Even though Princess Kangning knew that Yuntang had just held a grand banquet yesterday, she was prepared to play the victim as someone from her natal family might come to scold her today.

But who would have thought that Princess Cheng would close the gate of Jinhua Hall as soon as she arrived, call out all the servants in the courtyard and begin to interrogate them one by one?

Princess Kangning was so angry that she fainted.

Zhou Siyue, who had been detained here to take care of the patient, stopped the maidservant beside Princess Kangning from crying and shouted, and told her not to disturb her mother-in-law who was resting, and then had her driven out of the inner room.

This time, even Wei Yulan remained silent and pretended not to see it.

Marquis Yong'an was watching over the shop outside, and Jiang Yanting returned to the South Camp today. After all, the Luotian Grand Ceremony was approaching, and they were very busy in the South Camp, responsible for defense.

Even my second uncle Jiang Mingli went back to the South Camp and said he would not be back home for a while.

Jiang Yanxuan continued to study.

Little Ming'er was taken by his nanny to the third room to play.

The Second Lady is in charge of the household affairs at the Marquis' Mansion and is very busy every day. The Third Lady is in charge of the sewing room in the mansion, and it just so happens that they need to buy summer clothes for each room. Having her in charge can help the Second Lady share some of the burden.

Originally, some time ago, Marquis Yong'an planned to let his eldest daughter-in-law, Wei Yulan, take over the kitchen and warehouse in the mansion. After all, she is the eldest daughter-in-law in the eldest house, and her child is almost two years old, so it is time for her to gradually take over the mundane affairs.

But when Princess Kangning fell ill, she specifically asked her two daughters-in-law to take care of her, so there was no way for her to take charge.

Fortunately, everyone in the mansion is united and everything is going smoothly. However, the sudden arrival of Princess Cheng and her mother-in-law and the direct visit to Jinhua Hall still made others feel a little surprised and restrained.

It was obvious that Princess Cheng came to see Princess Kangning.

But after all, it was a relative or elder who came to the house, and the second wife was the one in charge of the household affairs. The old lady, who was supposed to come out to greet them, had been claiming to be ill and had been concentrating on worshipping Buddha, not asking about the affairs of the house or the interpersonal relationships.

It’s hard to entertain, but we have to entertain.

Finally, the second wife asked the third wife to discuss whether they should go to pay the visit together and then act accordingly.

Jiang Yanxuan also heard the news from the secret guards.

Jiang Yanxuan asked the secret guard to investigate again, and when he learned that his second aunt and third aunt had gone to Jinhua Hall to pay a visit, he hurried over.

However, the guards of Prince Cheng's mansion who were guarding outside Jinhua Hall saluted and said, "The princess has ordered that we are only here to visit the patient and will not disturb the mansion. We will leave later."

The implication was that the second and third wives of the Marquis' Mansion did not need to go to pay a visit.

She said not to disturb the Marquis's Mansion, but what she actually meant was that she didn't want anyone to disturb her.

Her status, family background and even seniority are all there, so Princess Cheng does not need to entertain the sisters-in-law from the second and third branches of her son-in-law's family.

The second and third wives stood there with slightly awkward expressions, looking at Jiang Yanxuan for help.

Jiang Yanxuan looked at the tightly closed courtyard door and asked in a low voice: "I can't go to pay my respects to my grandmother?"

The palace guards had received the order from Princess Cheng and quickly said, "Yes, the Marquis cannot enter either."

Jiang Yanxuan understood what was happening, and turned around to tell his second and third aunts to go back and not to bother with what was happening here anymore.

While eating barbecue last night, his sister quietly told him to keep an eye on Jinhua Hall in the next two days to see if anyone from Prince Cheng's Mansion came.

If someone came over, she would find out the result, because she had told her grandmother that her mother was seriously ill but showed no signs of illness, and she knew what her mother had done.

Originally, their mother suddenly fell ill again, and they didn't think much of it. In addition to the court doctor, their father also invited the imperial physician to come over. They all diagnosed that she had caught a cold. As a result, when the weather got warmer, the cold became worse...

Jiang Yingxue, who went to take care of the patient first, also fell ill and was said to have vomited blood.

There was no news of anything unusual happening to the sister-in-law and Yue'er who went to take care of the mother later, except that her mother's condition got worse. It was also said that a maid and two young servants had died in Jinhua Hall.

The whole thing is weird.

It was a good thing that my father was sick, at least he didn’t have the energy to cause trouble at the Princess Protector’s Mansion.

Although Tang'er is not afraid, it would always be ugly if something happened. She still hopes that the banquet can be lively and completed smoothly.

As a result, Tang'er told him those words. Today, his grandmother came with his eldest aunt and second aunt, and brought a lot of maids and servants, and ordered the palace soldiers to surround the entire Jinhua Hall.

After Jiang Yanxuan asked his second and third aunts to go back, he sent someone to inform housekeeper Hu that his grandmother and aunt were coming to visit, and his mother had not been reunited with her family for a long time, so they should not disturb her.

Everything in the palace remains the same. Anyone who talks too much will be severely punished according to the palace rules.

The gossips naturally correspond to some of the recent rumors outside, no matter whether they say bad things about Princess Kangning or Yuntang, in the end it is the reputation of the Yong'an Marquisate that is ruined.

Therefore, in fact, the Marquis of Yong'an had already issued an order not to let anyone in the mansion talk too much, whether inside the mansion or outside.

This time, Jiang Yanxuan mentioned it again, and Butler Hu became more cautious.
