Chapter 117 Qi Family
After Jiang Sisi analyzed the situation for Ye Jinshu, although there were still many things that were not clear, Ye Jinshu could see it more clearly than in any of his previous lives.
Not long after that, in order to comfort the people who lost their loved ones in the plague, the emperor and empress went to the epidemic area in person, and of course Ye Ruoyan accompanied them.
All the people who lost their loved ones in this plague can be exempted from taxes for ten years. If the only male in the family died of the plague, they can also receive monthly relief from the court.
Although the relief money is not much, it can basically satisfy the need for food and clothing by living frugally.
This plague was discovered early and properly controlled, so it did not spread on a large scale. The person who made the greatest contribution to this was Ye Ruoyan.
Everyone was waiting for Ye Ruoyan's reward, but there was no result for a long time. The less news there was, the clearer it became in everyone's minds that Ye Ruoyan was going to be the Crown Princess.
The current Crown Princess and the future mother of a country.
Although she is just a concubine's daughter, her current achievements are enough.
The plague had just ended and the palace advocated frugality.
Starting from the Queen, all food and clothing expenses were halved.
Ye Jinshu didn't think it was a big deal. When she went to the manor, her food and clothing expenses were halved even more than this, so she was considered to have adapted well. However, Qi Ningyu was heartbroken outside the palace.
She kept asking Jiang Sisi to come to the palace to take a look.
"The princess has just recovered from her illness, and now she has to eat porridge and small dishes with those people in the palace. How can her body handle it! Sister Jiang, can you bring some food in for me?"
How could Jiang Sisi have the ability to send something to Ye Jinshu alone when the entire palace was being frugal? If she did, wouldn't that be disobeying the imperial order?
"Calm down. Giving gifts to the princess now would only harm her."
Qi Ningyu was still worried: "If we can't send things to the princess, can we let her leave the palace so I can prepare some nourishing food for her."
"Condensed words."
"It's in my yard. There are only three of us. No one else will know."
Jiang Sisi thought about it and decided that it was not impossible.
After all, she was called into the palace by the princess a few days ago for a chat, but Qi Ningyu hadn't seen the princess for a long time.
"Then I'll write a letter to the princess and ask her what she thinks."
Jiang Sisi still overestimated Ye Jinshu's determination. She received a reply that very evening just after she sent the letter.
【I will definitely come! 】
There were only a few words in the letter, but Jiang Sisi seemed to see Ye Jin's powerful look when he wrote this sentence.
Someone was sent to deliver a letter to Qi Ningyu, and Jiang Sisi suddenly remembered something.
The concubine's younger sister in Qi Ningyu's family is also a nuisance. I just hope she doesn't appear in front of them tomorrow, otherwise it would be quite a spoilsport.
Although Qi Ningyu's family had not yet reached the point of favoring the concubine over the wife, Qi Ningyu's father was very doting on the illegitimate daughter born to the concubine.
Also, because Qi Ningyu's mother failed to give birth to a son, the only son in the Qi family was the illegitimate son born to that concubine. When Qi Ningyu's mother was ill some time ago, many servants in the Qi family said that as soon as the mistress passed away, it would not be long before the concubine would become the legal wife.
But no one expected that Qi Ningyu's mother actually survived.
Jiang Sisi also investigated secretly and reminded Qi Ningyu to search the concubine's room or the illegitimate son's room in the mansion, and she would definitely find poison.
But Qi Ningyu was afraid that her father would be sad, so she hesitated to take action. Instead, she bought one anti-poison sachet after another.
Jiang Sisi didn't want to interfere in the Qi family's affairs, but then she thought again: it's really not easy for her to interfere on normal days, but what if those people came forward and asked her to teach them a lesson?
Thinking about it this way, if those annoying things come to spoil the fun tomorrow, she can take action now.
……
Ye Jinshu went to find Jiang Sisi first after coming out of the palace, and then the two went to the Qi family's mansion together. But Jiang Sisi's dress was very strange, not her usual dignified and gorgeous style, but she changed into the clothes of a maid.
As for how Ye Jinshu knew that those were the maid's clothes, it was of course because she saw Jiang Sisi take the clothes off her maid with her own eyes.
Jiang Sisi said that she had to pretend to be Ye Jinshu's maid first, so that she could have a good show when she went to Qi's house.
"What's the show?"
Jiang Sisi smiled mysteriously: "You will know when you go there."
In fact, after Jiang Sisi received Ye Jinshu's letter yesterday, she only wrote that Ye Jinshu would go in the letter she relayed to Qi Ningyu, but did not mention herself.
Ye Jinshu in the palace might not know what the outside world has said about her and Ye Ruoyan.
The gossip in the circle of noble ladies has been centered around Ye Jinshu and Ye Ruoyan these days.
Some people speculated how Ye Jinshu would go crazy after Ye Ruoyan became the Crown Princess, some people speculated how Ye Ruoyan would take revenge, and some people said that Ye Jinshu was so scared that he dared not leave the palace and was no longer as arrogant as before.
Some people even speculated when Ye Jinshu would be charged with a crime.
After all, Ye Jinshu had made some achievements, and her reputation among the people for the fertilization incident was no worse than Ye Ruoyan's. If one wanted to let Ye Jinshu step down from the position of Crown Princess naturally, Ye Jinshu had to make a mistake.
Many people are looking forward to seeing the once arrogant Ye Jinshu fall to the bottom.
It’s not that Ye Jinshu has any grudge against these people, it’s just that people’s malice sometimes comes for no reason. They just want to see someone who was once pampered fall to the bottom.
In this situation, if Ye Jinshu were allowed to enter the dirty place of Qi's family alone, I wonder what would happen.
"Don't be afraid, Princess. I will be your maid and accompany you today."
"Princess, where is this servant?" Xiao Cui was anxious.
Ye Jinshu thought for a moment: "Can't I bring two maids?"
Xiao Cui was quiet again.
Several people set off for Qi's house.
Just like Jiang Sisi said, the Qi family did have a surprise.
Ye Jinshu still remembered that when she went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, not only Jiang Sisi was there to greet her at the door, but even the Prime Minister came. But now, there was only a little maid who looked a little anxious waiting at the door of the Qi Mansion.
Seeing Ye Jinshu and the others coming, she immediately came forward to greet them. Although she was very polite, her face was filled with worry. "Greetings, Princess Anping. My mistress asked me to wait for you here."
"My Lady, this is not like Miss Qi's usual manners."
Jiang Sisi reminded him, and Ye Jinshu immediately realized that something was wrong. He asked the little girl, "Where is your young lady?"
The little maid seemed to be afraid to speak. Ye Jinshu looked around and said directly: "Take me to find your young lady."
The little maid immediately led the way.
After turning two corners along the road, Ye Jinshu heard some noise.
"It's just to entertain an unknown princess. How can you use such a nice courtyard? My younger sister is going to hold a flower viewing party today and has already said that she wants to use this place. You should find another place."
"I told my father yesterday that I would entertain the princess today."
"Oh, sister, maybe father forgot. He just said that the yard is for me to use. Sister, please go back."
Thank you! Thank you! A! Zi! for the gift! I! can’t! sleep! anymore!!
get off work!
