After returning home, Tong's mother and others came to serve Chun Ge.

Li Jian'an watched Chunge eat a bowl of millet porridge, and then said: "I am going to the palace tomorrow, so you can stay at home. If there is anything else, we can discuss it when I come back."

He didn't say anything specific, but Chun Ge knew very well that he should be referring to the Zhao family and the second lady.

Chun Ge smiled and nodded.

Li Jian'an looked at Chunge with a complicated expression, and there was pity in his eyes. He hugged Chunge and went to bed to sleep for a while, then went to Jingsi Studio and didn't come back until after the third watch in the evening.

At that time, Chun Ge was already asleep. She felt some noise from the people around her, but it gave her a strange and cool feeling in the middle of summer, so she couldn't help but lean in and rub it against her.

A pair of strong hands reached out and took Chun Ge into his arms, hugging her tightly.

When Chun Ge woke up the next morning, Li Jianan had already entered the palace.

Chunge ate a crystal bun stuffed with mushrooms and meat, drank a bowl of japonica rice porridge, and refused to eat any more.

The best blood swallows were also kept aside.

Chun Ge saw that there were too many and asked Mother Tong and the others to send some to the Fourth Madam and the Fifth Madam.

"Choose the porridge that hasn't been cooked yet and don't serve the finished porridge to others."

This is because they are afraid that the Fourth Madam and the Fifth Madam will think that Meixiangyuan is an unfinished thing.

The mother-in-law who was ordered to deliver something cursed in her heart.

High-quality blood swallows are hard to buy for a thousand dollars. Even in the Duke's Mansion, the queen and empress in the palace only rewarded the third lady with a pound for her charm. Even in the palace, the total was only five pounds.

It doesn't matter if the leftovers are sent over.

The affairs of these masters are really convoluted.

Hongyu, who was waiting in the room, was worried about Ruiniang.

Chun Ge smiled and said, "They are staying at Madam Tai's place, so I don't need to worry about them."

Ruby suddenly realized.

Several girls are now living in the Madam's yard. If Madam sends something over at this time, I'm afraid others will not say that the stepmother is generous, but will privately comment that Madam is being mean to her granddaughter. Wouldn't that be offending the Madam.

Hongyu immediately said: "Madam, I was wrong."

Chun Ge smiled nonchalantly.

Mother Tong and Fei Cui, who were inquiring about the news, came back at this time.

"The second lady's maiden name is Gao, and her ancestors have been doctors of the Imperial Academy for generations. I heard that she is very powerful, and she will teach the children in her family to read in her spare time. The adopted brother of the second lady's natal family was promoted to the general magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture the year before last. He should return this year.

It’s time to report on my work in Beijing. The second lady also likes to play the piano and cultivate flowers. When she has nothing to do, she should copy scriptures..."

Jade is very popular, and he can ask for some information about anything, but he may not be able to get to the point. He talks a lot, but doesn't say anything important.

Mother Tong looked anxiously on the side, so she gave her a hand, went up and said: "When the second lady got married, the wife gave her the house. But it only lasted a year, and the second master left, and the second lady married her.

Three days later, he moved to Shuanglingyuan. Eleven years ago, he was pregnant and bumped into the second lady in the garden, and she almost had a miscarriage. The second lady moved to Zhuangzi from then on and did not return until Brother Wu was born.

He left home after not staying for a month. Then it became a rule to stay in Zhuangzi for seven or eight months every year, and it has not changed until now."

This is the real key!

Mother Tong saw that Chun Ge had listened, and said sternly: "After the second lady moved to Zhuangzi, the Duke of Guo and the lady had a big quarrel. When Brother Wu arrested Zhou, the lady said in front of people

When they wanted the second lady to move back and reunite with their family, Brother Wu fell ill with a high fever the next day. He invited a senior monk from Puning Temple to come and said that he was being held captive. The second lady never entered the courtyard again.

People who have met Wu Geer and Zhou Rui's family in the Taifu's courtyard said that they often hear the Taifu mention the second wife and cry all the time."

Chun Ge's expression also became serious, and she wanted to smile bitterly.

There was a miscarriage before, and then there was another birth control.

It seems that Chen Chunfang really doesn't like this second lady.

However, this trick was too obvious. Even if it took the person far away, it still broke the hearts of Li Jianan and the Dowager. Instead, it made Li Jianan and the Dowager pity the second lady even more.

No wonder the Second Madam treated her like that, and the Tai Madam could only pretend not to see it, and Li Jianan couldn't say anything. Li Jianan even gave special instructions in advance.

Chun Ge felt a headache and rubbed the center of his brow.

But Mother Tong winked at Jade and Hongyu, and asked them to close the window tightly before saying, "Madam, I think there is something fishy about this!"

Chun Ge looked at the child's mother in surprise.

"Madam, if you think about that person's behavior, he is definitely not such a careless person. I have thought about this matter over and over again, and it seems to be obvious, but there is always a hint of weirdness in it!"

Like an enlightenment, Chun Ge, who was still a little confused because of Chen Chunzhen's incident, suddenly regained consciousness and his thoughts began to unfold clearly.

Something is indeed wrong!

Chen Chunfang is arrogant and strong, deep-minded, and ruthless, but she is also cautious enough.

Otherwise, even though Li Jian'an was well aware of many of the things Chen Chunfang had done over the years, he had never been able to get a clear handle on them.

Being able to make Li Jian'an know without evidence is a superb skill in itself.

It's like when Chen Chunfang plotted against herself, she deliberately passed by the eldest wife's side, not only because she lived in the eldest house at that time, so it was convenient for the eldest wife to attack, but also because the eldest house was still Li Jianan's in-law's family after all, and Li Jianan had no way to go there without mercy.

The elder brother made a big fuss. In the end, the deal was done and he had to agree.

Moreover, at that time, Chen Chunfang was about to die and did not have to worry about too many things before she died, so she used this method.

Later, she married into the Li family, in order not to give Li Jianan any reason to abandon her and thus affect Brother Wu's legitimate position in the Li family. Chen Chunfang was also careful about what she did to herself.

The fragrance was delivered to me after seven or eight twists and turns. If it hadn't been for a coincidence and Mother Tong's skills, it would have been impossible for anyone to discover it.

After all calculations, Chen Chunfang lost to Yun Dao in the end. How could she have played such a clumsy move when facing the second lady?

The seemingly impeccable plan had the biggest flaw because of Chen Chunfang's actions.

Then who is plotting against the second wife?

Just because he doesn't like the Second Madam, he still wants to make the Second Madam fight with Chen Chunfang, or he wants Chen Chunfang to fall out of favor with Li Jianan and the Tai Madam.

Chun Ge's heart was spinning, and she couldn't find any clues anyway.

Tong's mother reminded her again, "Madam, if you don't understand, you might as well think about what I said to you when you were just learning female sex."

Chun Ge was startled and her thoughts drifted back.

I had just started to learn to be a maiden, and I felt very distressed when I saw my mother-in-law busy making clothes under the lamp.

At that time, the third wife had to raise her hand for food and drink. Although he was always respectful and submissive in front of the third wife, the third wife also liked to show off. But there would always be times when the third wife was in a bad mood and she would make deliberate arrangements.

Several people in my house help with the work.

What I do most is work on the needlework.

Today I will mend this piece, and tomorrow I will help others trim it.

Even respectable wives and mothers dare to speak.

I wanted to help share the worries of Mother Tong and gain more leverage in the future, so I offered to learn needlework. At that time, I was still young and my fingers were not flexible. Mother Tong couldn't help but feel a little angry when she saw herself threading and dressing under the lamp.

He got up and gave a warning.

"Girl, this life is just like being a female celebrity. Today we have to work harder. We have survived the days of squeezing through the pinhole. It seems that we have suffered a lot. But when we get through it, look at this

It’s not up to us to mend every stitch and thread, how happy and refreshing it is. Those who make fun of us and embarrass us wear the clothes we made and tie them up for the rest of their lives!”

From that time on, I felt that Mother Tong was a very wise person.

Chun Ge came back from her memory and opened her lips when she saw the encouraging smile on Mother Tong's face.

Knowing that Chun Ge had figured it out, Tong's mother smiled happily and said: "Madam, she was also able to figure it out, but she has been troubled by the matter of Grandma Shi Gu in the past two days."

Chun Ge lowered his eyes for a moment, then raised his head, his eyes bright and clear, and he raised his lips and said, "Mom is right, whoever forces himself to pass the pinhole first and survives the hard days will have smooth sailing from now on."

Mother Tong smiled even happier.

Jade is confused on one side, and green jade is also a mess.

Hongyu hesitated for a moment and asked: "Madam, it seems that the second lady has been greatly wronged by this matter. In fact, the Duke and the wife will always remember her love in their hearts."

Chun Ge smiled slightly, with a hint of gentleness on her porcelain-white skin.

However, the child's mother praised Hong Yu without hesitation, "This girl is really smart!" Then she turned to teach Jade, "I have trained you for so many years, and you are still like this. You can't keep up with Hong Yu's finger!"

Jade was very unconvinced and muttered: "It's enough to have a smart one. You have to be so smart to do anything. You are so smart, you have some ideas!" She looked aggrieved.

Tong's mother glared at her with hatred.

However, Chun Ge shook his head and winked to stop.

I also know what Mother Tong means.

He is always worried that she has gone ahead of him and there will be no one around him that he can use in the future.

Although Hongyu is smart, she is still a little outsider, and she is someone who wants to be released to become a commoner and a wealthy family's grandmother. She is not as loyal as Jadeite.

But jade is not that material at all. Even after the amber incident happened, he became much more sensitive, but in the end he was still a little behind on these things.

Jade cannot be turned into a weapon if it is not cut, but rotten wood cannot be turned into good material.

Jade like this is already good. What's more, if there is a smart one, how do you know that he will not end up like Amber. There is no way to have both in the world, so why be too demanding. Is it possible that I still count on a maid to establish a firm foothold in the Duke's Mansion?

.

After all, a hundred smart maids can't stand up to Li Jianan's slightest favoritism.
