Madam Jiang saw off Old Master Jiang and his entourage early in the morning, then turned her head to look at her second son who was handsome and elegant, and also glanced at her smiling daughter. There was a smile in her eyes as she turned back to talk to the young servant from the Jiang family behind her: "In two days time, Second Masters family will be leaving, so tell your people to treasure those gifts that have been prepared, and make sure they understand clearly, dont let careless people mix up good things with bad ones, and ruin my and Old Masters filial piety."

  Xiao Jiangs family nodded and said, "Master, rest assured. My family member may be a bit foolish, but he is honest and has sharp eyes. He will carefully observe them." Madam Jiang smiled and turned her head to look at her, saying, "When the second master returns, there will be fewer things to do in the mansion. You can also take two days off and go back to take care of the two children. I have prepared some things for the children here, consider it my reward for their good behavior."

  Xiao Jiangs family was overjoyed and laughed, saying: "Master, my two children at home are also delighted to have Masters favor. Of course, Master will reward them. However, if Master wants to reward them, I will take it back for them. Now, please help me thank Master on their behalf." Xiao Jiangs wife, Mrs. He, looked pleased and thought to herself: "No matter how Master treats her husband coldly, for the sake of the children, she still hopes that he wont neglect her."

  Madam Jiang heard this and glanced at her, saying: "Its good that your family is a bit foolish, so I can tolerate you more." Madam Jiang was relieved to see Jiang An staying in Guiyus room last night, breaking the usual routine of him sleeping in his own room on this day every month. After getting up early, she saw the maid serving the young master and noticed that she couldnt hide her surprise when she saw Jiang An in the room. Only then did Madam Jiang remember what had happened the previous night, and for a moment, she was even happier than when she and her husband had reminisced about old times the night before.

  Xiao Jiangs family listened to the teasing of Madame Jiang, thinking about Guiyus lonely night, and suddenly felt a sense of relief. Since becoming a concubine, Guiyu had always been cheerful in front of people but cold behind their backs, especially after giving birth to a daughter, Master Liu would spend one night a month in her quarters, making her even more arrogant among the concubines, except when facing Madame Liu, she usually walked with her head held high.

  Xiao Jiangs wife was behind Madame Jiang, saying some playful words that made Madame Jiang smile. As she smiled and glanced at Madame Jiangs profile, her eyes inadvertently swept to the main courtyard where a servant woman from Lins house was standing behind a tree, making anxious eye contact with her. Xiao Jiangs wife gave her a once-over before turning back to Madame Jiang and saying: "Madame, someone from Lins house has come looking for me, Ill go hear them out and be right back." Madame Jiang nodded smilingly and said: "Go ahead."

  Xiao Jiangs wife walked to the foot of the tree, looked at Lins wife and shook her head saying: "You made eyes at me in front of our mistress. You really have no shame." Lins wife stretched out her hand and pulled Xiao Jiangs wife behind the tree, saying: "Auntie Xiao Jiang, Guiyus mother went to make trouble with the new bride, her maid said it was because of Jiyus words that caused harm." Xiao Jiangs wife immediately asked her: "Who in our courtyard is going to deal with this matter?" Lins wife hastily replied: "It was Yuxiu who led a few servant girls over there. When I came back, Guiyus mother was still shouting."

  Xiao Jiangs family heard this and raised an eyebrow, coldly smiling as she said to Lins wife: "Ill go tell the master about this, you quickly go tell Yuxiu and the others to stop Guiyu. If she has any grievances or injustices, during the New Year period, they must be endured. If she really cant endure it, let her come directly to the master to speak of it. In the past, she was a person by the masters side, the master will always give her some face." Lins wife heard this and quickly ran off, taking two steps before turning back to say: "Xiao Jiang aunt, auspicious words..." She hastily ran off under Xiao Jiangs sharp gaze.

  Xiao Jiang returned to Jiang Dashis side, accompanying her back to the main courtyard. She helped Jiang Dashi sit down and personally served her hot tea. After making eye contact with the maids in the room, she dismissed them on a pretext before speaking up about what Lin Jias housekeeper had said. Upon hearing this, Jiang Dashi smiled and said to Xiao Jiang, "Fortunately, Yuxiu is clever and knew to intercept the news. If Second Masters family were still at home, it would be a big loss of face for me."

  Two people were talking, when they heard a noise outside. Immediately, Yuxiu spoke softly from the outside: "Master, may I come in and report something?" Xiao Jiangs wife smiled and went to open the thick curtain door, welcoming her with a smile: "Master, weve been waiting to hear your words." Yuxiu saw that Xiao Jiangs wife had lifted the curtain, so she took over the curtain and smiled: "Xiao Jiang Mama, it turns out theres only you serving Master. I was just thinking, what happened to those careless maids, how did they suddenly become lazy?"

  After marrying into the Xiao family, Madame Jiang arranged for her a small position in the inner courtyard. She still spent most of her time revolving around Madame Jiang, and the people in Madame Jiangs courtyard knew that her relationship with their master was different, so they generally didnt dare to let her lift the door curtain for them. When Madame Jiang heard Yu Xius words, she smiled and said to Xiao Jiangs wife: "Look at this little girl, shes more capable than you were in your youth, and her verbal skills are not ordinary either."

  Yu Xiu heard what Mrs. Jiang said, she quickly looked up at Xiao Jiangs house and saw that there was a smile in her eyes, so she relaxed a bit. She leaned close to Mrs. Jiang and whispered about the cause and effect of the matter. Mrs. Jiang listened and found out that Gui Yu Niang suspected it was the new girl, blocking Mr. Jiangs footsteps last night, making him not stay in her room as before. A smile appeared on her face, and then she heard Yu Xiu say Gui Yu Niang, early this morning, after hearing that the fifth miss was busy, she took a rough servant woman to settle accounts with the new girl.

  Madam Jiang had already shaken her head in her heart, thinking that after becoming a mother-in-law, Guiyu became more and more foolish every year. It turned out that being pampered also made one foolish. Yuxiu said they persuaded Guiyu back and comforted the crying new bride. As for what happened later, she thought it was better to listen to Masters decision on how to deal with the person who spoke nonsense in the middle.

  Madam Jiang looked at Yuxiu and asked, "Do you think this is a case of Jiyan stirring up trouble?" Yuxiu shook her head repeatedly and said, "Jiyan isnt capable of that. Shes been in our courtyard for several months, shes young and straightforward, loves to talk, but shes not someone who harbors evil intentions. She serves in Third Misss courtyard, and even though Third Miss is so strict, Ive never seen her speak ill of anyone outside. Her only fault is that she likes to sneak out of the courtyard to play, but she never causes trouble. The little maid by Madames side is timid and afraid of taking responsibility."

  "After the incident, she kept crying and said it was Jiyans words. I asked the people from the patrol institute, last night in San Niangzis courtyard, after the door closed at night, no one else entered or exited. Master, I have already told that maid to wait outside, waiting for you to have time to ask her questions. I have already sent someone to find Jiyan and bring him over, we will confront them together." Madam Jiang nodded and said: "Alright, lets wait for Jiyan to arrive and then summon them in together."
