"You came here just to talk about this?" The old mistress' face darkened as she placed the jade in her hand to the side and asked coldly.

"Yes, my wife came this time to ask the madame what should be done about this matter." Youyou is the young miss of Nalan Mansion, so every action she takes outside affects her reputation of Nalan Mansion. If her reputation of Nalan Mansion is tarnished, not only will it affect the marriage of her daughter, it will also affect the career of the old master. "

With these words from Zhuang Huaijin, a hat that could affect Nalan Peiyi was taken off her shoulders.

The old mistress hung her head when she heard what Zhuang Huaijin had said. She held the white jade in her hand tightly as she waged a war in her heart.

His son's career was important, but this Nalan Youyou had just given him such a good piece of white jade. This made her hesitate.

"Did Jingjing do something that caused Youyou to reprimand her?" The madame rolled her eyes and thought of a reason, "So it's like this, you have to ask Jingjing first, but she did something wrong. Alright, I'm tired, you can withdraw."

Zhuang Huaijin wanted to speak up for Jingjing, but was stopped by the madame's barrage of questions.

Zhuang Huaijin raised her head indignantly and realized that the old mistress had actually closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep!

Gritting his teeth, he helplessly kowtowed before turning around and leaving.

When Zhuang Huaijin walked out of the garden, the madame opened her eyes and greedily played with the white jade in her hands. Maidservant Lin looked at the greedy madame and sighed. "Madame, don't you plan to ask about what Second Wife has said?"

"Excuse me?" What do you want to know? " The old lady did not give Maidservant Lin a single glance. Her disdainful tone made Maidservant Lin speechless for a while, "This matter regarding Nalan Mansion, is something that she should do as a daughter-in-law. As for Youyou, the eldest miss of my Nalan Mansion, you know what's good for you and are well-behaved, how could you not know your manners like she said? "

"…" Maidservant Lin was speechless. This madame was so protective of the eldest miss. It must be because of this piece of white jade.

Nalan Youyou brought Yue Jun back to her own Qingya House. Yue Jun served a cup of tea to Nalan Youyou, and hesitantly bit on her lips. "Miss, that Ling Baiyu is a rare item, you gave it away just like that?"

"Look at what you're saying, that's my grandmother. As her granddaughter, I'm gifting her some rare items, so what? You little miser, you don't want to part with it like this? " Seeing Yue Jun's pained expression, Nalan Youyou laughed and pointed at Yue Jun's nose.

Yue Jun turned her face away from Nalan Youyou's hand in displeasure and complained, "Miss, you know what the High Monk said. That thing had to be worn on one's body or something would go wrong. Miss, why are you so disobedient?"

"Heh heh, no problem. If the heavens truly want to take me in, then so be it. " Nalan Youyou did not finish her sentence. Even if she did, Yue Jun would not believe her.

"Hmph, Miss." Yue Jun pouted as she stomped her feet and ran out of the room.

Looking at Yue Jun's cute and worried expression, Nalan Youyou's smile became even wider.

"You really can bear it. Ling Baiyu actually gave it up just like that. It seems like the madame is really important to you." Beiming Zhe's gentle voice came from the beam.

Nalan Youyou raised her head and looked at the relaxed Ye Zichen with a frown, "Why isn't crown prince gone yet?"

"The sky hasn't darkened yet. I'm afraid that if Miss Nalan Shu gets into any trouble, I won't be able to leave." Beiming Zhe was already well. He lightly jumped from the beam to Nalan Youyou's side and sat down.

"Haha …" "Why, are you in such a hurry to chase Your Highness away?" Nalan Youyou nodded helplessly as she thought to herself, "That's right, but even if you don't leave, there's nothing I can do about it." Who asked you to be crown prince.

Zhuang Huaijin went back to her own yard with resentment filling her entire body.

"Pah!"

As soon as Zhuang Huaijin entered the room, she grabbed a cup and smashed it into pieces. The noise in the room alarmed Nanny Gui. She walked in and saw the floor littered with debris. She was surprised. "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

"Hm!" That old thing who only knows about money! " Zhuang Huaijin cursed angrily, her eyes flashing with hatred. She was so angry that her face turned green.

"Aiyo, my wife, you better lower your voice. If you let her go and let her hear you, that won't do." Nanny Gui was frightened out of her wits and hurriedly stepped forward, stamping her feet as a reminder.

"Humph!" In my own yard, what can't I say! " A pair of phoenix eyes, as deep as if it had not been used for thousands of years and could eat countless people, swept Nanny Gui with a cold gaze and she shivered.

He retreated to the side and cautiously asked when he saw how angry the madame was. "Why is the madame so angry?"

"Why else?! That old thing only has money in his eyes. He doesn't care about anything else. I have already moved his son's career away, but he is still unmoved by it! I really don't know what sin I created in my previous life, to actually marry into such a family! I was the direct descendant of my family, but I came here to be a laborer, Second Wife! "He's really full!" At this moment, he could not help but vent all the grievances he had felt over and over again, scolding the madame.

"Mother, be careful of the wall!"

Nalan Jingjing's face darkened slightly as she ordered her servants to retreat, warning them not to speak any nonsense and walked in. Zhuang Huaijin's charming face was filled with anger as she hurriedly consoled, "Mother, what happened? You actually angered your mother to such an extent. "

"Hmph, it's still not that Nalan Youyou and that old fart from home." In front of Nalan Jingjing, Zhuang Huaijin did not need to hide her presence, as she quickly shouted at Nalan Jingjing.

"Is it because that old thing isn't willing to help us deal with Nalan Youyou?"

After hearing Zhuang Huaijin's words, she knew that all her efforts today were in vain. Today in the hall, looking at that old thing giving away the jade Buddha from Nalan Youyou, she knew that this matter would definitely not go as she had intended.

But no matter what, she was still very unhappy in her heart.

Nalan Jingjing's face darkened immediately as her gaze darkened. Gritting her teeth, she said, "That old thing is getting more and more muddle-headed with age. He only knows about money! Mother, tomorrow, we will go and get something for her to do for us. "

"Hmph, you have thought it through, but you also saw that Nalan Youyou's little hoof gave us white jade. No matter what we give her right now, it won't be comparable to her jade Buddha." If we send it up, we won't be able to get it, and we'll end up paying a huge sum of money. " Zhuang Huaijin understood clearly that if she sent something over now, it would be like giving a bag of meat to a dog, never to return.

No way! I, Zhuang Huaijin, won't do such a loss-making deal!

When Nalan Jingjing heard this, she was stunned. Zhuang Huaijin was right. If she rushed to deliver it, it would be incomparable to the jade Buddha that Nalan Youyou had given her.

"So, Mother, what do we do now? "I can't possibly let Nalan Youyou live such a carefree life." Nalan Jingjing's mouth twitched as she glared at Zhuang Huaijin in displeasure. "Nalan Youyou, I will definitely not let her off easy!"

"Don't be in such a hurry." Zhuang Huaijin said, "Allow me to think of a way."

Nanny Gui was Zhuang Huaijin's wet nurse and had helped her do a lot of things, so there was no need to avoid her. Nanny Gui thought for a while, then her eyes lit up as she excitedly said, "Madam, this old servant has an idea."

"Oh? "What do you mean?!" Both of them looked at Nanny Gui in surprise.

"It's like this. In a short while, Old Master will be back from his grandfather's service. At that time, Second Wife will be in Old Master's ears, blowing on the wind by his pillow." "Although I cannot achieve my goal this time, I can definitely make Nalan Youyou's impression of Master worse and worse. When the time comes, we can find another opportunity to do this to Nalan Youyou and put her to death."

Nanny Gui was immensely proud of herself. She had thought of this idea thoroughly before, and now, she was waiting for Zhuang Huaijin and Nalan Jingjing to praise her. After waiting for a while, she realized that nothing had happened.

"Father has always been fond of Nalan Youyou. When the wind blows, when will we be able to go!" Before Zhuang Huaijin could say anything, Nalan Jingjing rejected the proposal with a single vote!

"That's right!" This method was too slow! "Also, I've already used this method on that old thing. For Nalan Peiyi, this method is not suitable." Zhuang Huaijin sat down quietly and thought for a moment. A trace of calculation flashed past her eyes.

Looking at Zhuang Huaijin's expression, Nalan Jingjing knew that she must have a plan in mind. He walked in quick steps to Zhuang Huaijin's side and asked, "Mother, have you come up with an idea?"

Zhuang Huaijin sneered. "Of course."

"What idea?" Nalan Jingjing asked impatiently.

"The empress dowager's birthday is coming up in a few days." At this point, Zhuang Huaijin's face flashed with malice. "Then we'll make sure Nalan Youyou has some sort of problem with the empress dowager's birthday."

"Even if Nalan Youyou had a hundred lives, she would still die inside." Zhuang Huaijin didn't say anything, but Nalan Jingjing continued, "Haha, mother, your idea is really great!"

"Hmph, of course. This Jiang is naturally more experienced. Even if Nalan Youyou had cultivated for another hundred years, she still wouldn't have been able to catch up." Zhuang Huaijin laughed complacently. A vicious light flashed on her heavily made up face, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue.

"Haha, mother is indeed amazing!" It would be much better to give Nalan Youyou to the empress dowager than to give it to her. If it was given to her, it would at most last her a few days before she could think it over. But if Nalan Youyou was given to the empress dowager, she would definitely die.

Nalan Youyou didn't know that she was now in extreme danger. She was lying leisurely in the middle of the courtyard, enjoying the warm winter sun as she read.

"Miss, the madame is asking you to come over."
