Early the next morning, Jiang Rong began to go to the store to check the accounts.
At the drug store she went to first, the manager received Chang's instructions in advance and presented the beautiful account books prepared...
"These ginseng are all from Yuquan Villa. This is the purchase account..." the manager of the drug store introduced, "The manager of the Villa has a bill for the shipment of medicinal materials. Concubine, you can check it. Our accounts are clear and absolutely correct."
"I naturally trust the person arranged by my aunt. But these things need to be taken to the old lady to see..." Jiang Rong said.
Jiang Rong went to Yuquan Villa again to check the import and export accounts of medicinal materials.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the villa, I heard a noise coming from inside.
……
"Where are my peonies? Why aren't there any left? I want to bring that Wei Zi into the palace tomorrow. How do you take care of it?" Jiang Wan looked at the bare little flowerbed in front of her and was very angry.
Jiang Cai answered cautiously: "Third Miss, calm down. The Crown Princess came here yesterday and dug up the peonies."
"What? Jiang Rong, she stole my flowers? Why didn't you stop her?" Jiang Wan said angrily:
"I've told you before, take good care of this Wei Zi plant. Even if it loses a petal, you're the only one I'll care about!"
Jiang Cai thought to himself, I almost lost my life yesterday, how could I still remember this little thing of yours?
"Third Miss, these famous peonies were left behind by the eldest lady back then. The Crown Princess wants to dig up the peonies, and this old slave... I have no reason to stop her, right?" Jiang Caiwei said.
Jiang Wan said angrily, "Jiang Cai, you were promoted by your mother. Have you forgotten who is your master? Are these peonies hers? These are all mine!"
"What the Third Miss said is true. Every plant and tree in Yuquan Villa belongs to you and the Second Madam. It's just that the Crown Princess came first yesterday, and I was afraid of the Crown Prince and didn't dare to stop her..." Jiang Cai quickly changed his mind.
Yuquan Villa was left by Jiang Rong's mother.
The Earl's Mansion was left by Jiang Rong's father.
But for the second wife of the Jiang family, everything belongs to them. Jiang Wan has long regarded these peonies as her own.
The Queen Mother will hold a peony banquet tomorrow, and all the family members of the third-rank and above court officials will be invited.
Jiang Wan was about to show off her rare peonies, but she never thought that when today came, all the flowers would be gone...
She was so angry that she lost all her manners.
"Third Miss, the Crown Princess is here!" The maidservant's sharp eyes reminded her immediately when she saw Jiang Rong.
Only then did Jiang Wan stop her scolding, turned around to look at Jiang Rong, and put on a bright smile:
"Why are the second sisters here today?"
"I'm here to check the accounts. Jiang Cai, bring me the account of the medicinal materials." Jiang Rong gave Jiang Cai instructions, but then asked as if he hadn't heard anything:
"Third sister, come to enjoy the flowers?"
"Second sister, let me get the peonies." Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she didn't hear anything, and she put on a weak and aggrieved face:
"I'm going to attend the palace banquet tomorrow, and I've fallen in love with Wei Zi a long time ago. I didn't expect that the second sister took it away yesterday... I can only go to the banquet empty-handed tomorrow... Can the second sister give me Wei Zi? ?”
"No. My mother gave me a dream and said that she wanted the flowers she left to accompany me for her. If I gave them to you, it would be unfilial on my part." Jiang Rong looked at Jiang Wan and spoke without missing a beat:
"Third sister, do you want me to be an unfilial person?"
Jiang Wan was speechless. Filial piety is as great as heaven...
"Second sister, you deliberately don't want to use my excuse? How can you use your deceased aunt as an excuse?" Jiang Wan's face turned pale, with a look of pity.
Jiang Rong said seriously, "How could it be? If Third Sister doesn't believe it, you can go down and ask my mother. She really told me that."
Jiang Wan was completely speechless. Could it be that she still wanted to ask?
Jiang Rong is really too irritating.
"Prince Princess, the account books you requested have arrived." Jiang Cai trotted over and brought a few stacks of account books, very attentively.
Jade stepped forward and took the account book.
"Third sister, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Jiang Rong said, looked at Jiang Cai and said:
"Enter my third sister well, don't neglect me."
Jiang Cai said respectfully, "Yes, I will definitely make the third lady feel at home!"
Jiang Rong smiled with satisfaction, turned around and took the people away.
Looking at the back of the glamorous Jiang Rong with her swarms of servants, watching her driving away in a gorgeous prince-sized carriage...
Strong jealousy arose in Jiang Wan's heart, and she raised her hand and slapped Jiang Cai on the face:
"Feeling at home? Who are the guests?"
Jiang Cai was struck dizzy by a melon seed and apologized hurriedly, "Old slave, you made a mistake! You are the master! You are the master!"
……
After checking the medicinal materials account book from Yuquan Villa, Jiang Rong went to the remaining shops.
Check the accounts one by one.
I was so busy that I returned home at dusk.
Feicui felt aggrieved for the Crown Princess. When she returned to the mansion, she immediately ran to Xie Lingxi to complain.
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for the Crown Princess. Today, I accompanied the Crown Princess to check the accounts. When I met the third lady of the Jiang family, she actually said that Yuquan Villa belongs to her. Because the Crown Princess moved the peonies away, she lost her temper..." Jade Cui said angrily:
"I don't know how many grievances the Crown Princess has suffered in the Jiang family. Faced with this kind of bullying, the Crown Princess just swallows her anger and pretends not to hear."
Xie Lingxi's eyes were slightly cold.
But...suffering? Does the word "西" have anything to do with Jiang Rong?
She dared to speak harshly to herself.
It seems that she doesn't want to break up with her second wife now, and seems to be planning something.
There was no need for him to interfere and ruin her plan.
But you can collect some small interest for her first.
"Since they like to steal people's things so much, then reciprocate in courtesy..." A trace of ridicule flashed in Xie Lingxi's eyes:
"Check the shop owned by the Jiang family's second brother and rob it."
Xiao Nanxing took the order and retreated. I thought to myself, given that the young master's family is so big and powerful, it would be a great compliment for the Jiang family to be able to take a fancy to the three melons and two dates in their name.
Jade happily returned to Jiang Rong and secretly took credit for her master:
"Prince Concubine, those who treat you badly, I will teach them a lesson for you!"
Jiang Rong was reading the account books with the light on. He didn't understand the implication of her words. He smiled and nodded, "Yes."
Xie Lingxi always protected her, and she would protect Xie Lingxi well in this life.
……
The ninth day of March, the ninth day of Jiang Rong and Xie Lingxi's wedding.
According to the rules of marriage, the two of them should enter the palace together today to pay homage to the Queen Mother and express their gratitude.
Inside Cining Palace.
There was a lot of laughter at this time.
"Since this 'national color' came to my son's house, I have taken good care of it and looked forward to it blooming every day. It doesn't bloom early or late, but today the queen mother held a peony banquet, and it bloomed..." A beautiful woman smiled and said:
"This national beauty should be dedicated to my mother! I wonder if my mother likes it?"
"Anyang, you really know how to make the Ai family happy." The Queen Mother smiled from ear to ear, looking at her little daughter dotingly:
"Your thoughts will make the Ai family happy."
At this moment, the eunuch outside the door came in and reported: "The Queen Mother, the Prince of the North and the Crown Princess have come to express their gratitude."
"Announce them to come in." said the Queen Mother.
A hidden chill flashed in Princess Anyang's eyes. Oh, Jiang Rong is here.
