The servants of the Shen Mansion have four days of rest every month. Jiang Miao is kind-hearted. As long as the servants don't make the big mistake of eating everything inside and outside, she will let Qinglian and Wu Yue take care of some minor problems.
Although Xun Ying has only been in the mansion for half a month, she has already figured out the rules in the mansion.
She was distracted from her work these days, and her hands would touch the purse around her waist from time to time. Even Sister-in-law Yang could tell that she was absent-minded.
Jiang Jiu has been weaned and can now eat some rice soup, egg custard and the like. The cooks in the Shen family are better than those in the Jiang family. Even the most ordinary egg custard can be made sweet and tender, with minced meat and green onions sprinkled on top. Jiang Jiu ate happily.
He had just eaten half of it when he saw that the woman feeding him began to lose focus. She held the spoon in her hand but did not put it into his mouth. The custard was shaking and about to fall out.
Jiang Jiu was so anxious that he screamed and tried to pull her with his little hands, but he was as strong as a kitten and did not wake Xun Ying at all.
When Mrs. Yang entered the door, she saw this scene.
"You can't even feed the little master. Don't think that since you are sent by the princess, I won't dare to do anything to you. If you can't take care of the little master, even if the princess wants to punish you, I have to go. A lawsuit against you in front of her!"
Sister-in-law Yang's already long face grew longer. She snatched the bowl from Xun Ying's hand, picked up Jiang Jiu and gently coaxed her.
"Young master, be good, I will feed you egg custard, ah~"
Xun Ying was interrupted from her thoughts, and a flash of impatience flashed in her eyes. Looking at the well-behaved and sensible Jiang Jiu in Sister Yang's arms, she felt even more depressed.
If it weren't for Jiang Ru, she would still be Jiang Zhe's aunt, so there would be no need to hide her name and start as a little maid.
Originally, she only wanted to see her son, but due to the difference in their identities, and the fact that Jiang Jiu was closer to Sister Yang than to her, the little affection in Xun Ying's heart gradually changed.
She wanted to recognize her son and become a master, and she shouldn't be taught by a rough mother-in-law like she was now.
She couldn't bear such days!
Xun Ying pinched the purse in her hand, a look of determination flashed through her almond-shaped eyes.
If people don't care for themselves, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth. She is just a common person.
Jiang Miao was lying on the sofa, reading a storybook, eating fruit in her mouth. When she heard Wu Yue's words, she pinched the strawberries.
"She asked for leave?"
"Yes, because she has only been here for less than a month and has not received any time off, so she asked for leave from the housekeeper."
"I know, let someone follow her quietly and see where she goes."
Jiang Miao knew from the news from the secret guard that Xun Ying and Master Fang Ci were in the same group. As soon as she had people spread the news about her miscarriage, Xun Ying took action.
Jiang Miao sneered, they really couldn't wait.
I don’t know what Tuoba Mingge’s purpose is.
However, she is not afraid of soldiers coming to block her, or water coming to cover her with soil!
Xun Ying left Shen's Mansion and went shopping calmly. She specifically selected rouge, gouache and ready-to-wear shops. She went in to take a look at each one and didn't buy anything. She didn't seem to have any problems.
The secret guard behind him followed carefully, for fear of arousing her suspicion.
Finally, when Xun Ying walked to a jewelry store, she didn't come out for a long time after entering.
The two secret guards following were both men. It would be too ostentatious to swagger into the jewelry store, so they could only wait anxiously outside.
"If I had known that Wu Yue had come with me, she would have been able to go in and keep an eye on her."
"The maid knows Wu Yue. If she is allowed to follow her, won't she be exposed directly?"
"That's what you said, but since Xun Ying went in and didn't come out for so long, there must be something fishy about this shop."
After all, she is a maid who has just joined the house. She cannot be invited for a whole day just to buy jewelry. Therefore, it is normal for the two secret guards to be suspicious.
"Jinbao Pavilion? This shop is probably the stronghold of Xixia."
Specially used to collect information.
They left one person here to watch, and one person went back to tell Jiang Miao.
Xun Ying was quite cautious. She knew that both Jiang Miao and Shen Yanqing were quite capable, so just to be on the safe side, she still went shopping outside.
The secret guards guessed correctly that this was the intelligence point specially set up by Tuoba Mingge in Dayan. That Master Fang Ci was not a nun, but a member of his intelligence point.
Because of his superb disguise skills, he was highly valued by Tuoba Mingge.
She also helped disguise Xun Ying's appearance.
At this time, behind the Zhenbao Pavilion, Fang Ci was dressed in red, with the collar open to her chest, revealing two white lumps on her chest.
She was eating a cherry in her mouth, gently twisting it with the tip of her tongue and picking it slowly, with a charming look in her eyebrows. The two guards serving next to her were blushing and their eyes were flashing, wanting to look but not daring to look.
Xun Ying followed the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion in. Seeing her like this, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
Fang Ci is charming, and naturally she is also Tuoba Mingge's woman. On the surface, the two of them live in peace, but only they know about the turbulent undercurrent behind it.
"Can't your makeup last for a while?"
It means why are you here now?
Fang Ci didn't have a good impression of the woman in front of him. He just wanted to be favored by his master just because of her beauty. He didn't care about his status and ability to compare with her.
But when it comes to matters in the capital, the master asked them to cooperate, but even if Fang Ci was unwilling, it would be hard to go against her.
"Something happened to Jiang Miao."
Xun Ying concealed her emotions, sat in front of her with a cold face and said.
"Oh? The yellow talisman works so quickly?"
Fang Ci felt proud. The Shen Mansion was tightly guarded. The maids and guards in the mansion were screened at all levels. Even Tuoba Mingge couldn't get anyone in.
So she didn't know about Jiang Miao's situation. Xun Ying's words finally calmed down her uncertain mind in the past few days.
The medicine on her yellow talisman is very poisonous. As long as Jiang Miao wears it on her body, it will make her unconscious in three days.
"She had a miscarriage."
"Had a miscarriage?"
The smile on Fang Ci's face suddenly stiffened. It was impossible. This medicine would only make her comatose. Then she could enter the Shen family in the name of medical treatment and gain Jiang Miao's trust.
But she suddenly had a miscarriage, completely out of their plans, and Fang Ci was caught off guard.
"Are you sure she really had a miscarriage?"
Xun Ying was naturally not sure. These words were just what she heard from the maid.
But it was rare for her to win over Fang Ci. Xun Ying stiffened her neck and nodded.
"The maid next to Jiang Miao said it herself. How can it be false?"
"You'd better check it out with your own eyes. The medicine I administered will not affect the child in her belly. I'm afraid there is something fishy about this."
In fact, what Fang Ci was even more afraid of was that Jiang Miao knew exactly what they were doing.
Just thinking about it made her hair stand on end.
Xun Ying turned pale with fright at her words. No, Jiang Miao trusted her very much and personally sent her to serve Jiang Jiu. Fang Ci's worries were groundless.
