"Fake?"

Mu Qianyu immediately opened her eyes wide, and said in disbelief: "No … Isn't that for real? How did it become a fake? "

"You little girl."

Madam Ning turned her head and looked at her with a sigh. "You must have been outside for a long time and haven't seen much of these real porcelain. These are indeed fake, and they are of poor quality. They cost only a few taels of silver, so even if they're not real and are only for viewing, they shouldn't be kept in this house."

Not only were those porcelain fake, they were also of inferior quality.

Even if it was just for viewing, officials would never use such inferior items.

Therefore, in Mu Qianyu's nice looking room, the things inside were really pitiful.

Madame Wang's face was ashen, she could not say a single word.

Not to mention her, even Zheng Qingyao couldn't say a word.

How could she say that Mu Qianyu was doing this on purpose?

There had to be evidence. If there was no evidence, then there had to be evidence.

"I say, Madame Zheng, no matter what, you are the Madam Minister Mansion, and this young miss is also the Lateral Consort of the crown prince, how can you buy these things for the Third Miss, and make them sound like a joke?"

Madam Ning was still brooding over the matter of her falling to the ground, so she did not give up for the moment, and continued, "Although there are very few outsiders who come to the daughter's house, and even if you do that, very few people will see you do it, after all, Third Miss is still your daughter, and even if she came back from the outside, she's still a Young Miss of Minister Mansion. Isn't it too unreasonable of you to do this to her?"

Mu Qianyu stood at the side with a wronged look, causing the other wives to feel that the rumors were true. Today, Madame Wang was just putting on a show.

Madame Wang was livid from her words and she almost did not get angry.

On the other hand, Zheng Qingyao had thought for half a day before she suddenly said with a cold expression: "I remember that my mother gave this matter to the servant to settle. She took some silver from the servant shop to buy some good porcelain to add to my third sister's house, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

"Bullying Third Sister because she's young and doesn't know her age and knows nothing about these porcelain, so she took away some silver to get some fake porcelain. Truly hateful."

With these words, Zheng Qingyao pushed the blame onto the people under the Minister Mansion.

That Zheng Yong was such a shrewd person, he immediately brought a few scapegoats over.

Mistress, please forgive me. I was greedy for a moment, so I stole the silver and gave the fake ones to the Third Miss.

The servant who was in charge of purchasing at Minister Mansion knelt on the ground and admitted his wrongs with tears flowing down his cheeks. His expression was extremely serious, and it was impossible to tell that what he had said was lies.

Mu Qianyu was disdainful to expose him.

He thought that he would be fine as a scapegoat, but it was just a facade. Everyone else's hearts were clear as a mirror.

In order to help Mother save face, Zheng Qingyao pulled on Mu Qianyu's hand and said: "Third sister, it's all because of the malicious intentions of the servants, to actually deceive you. Rest assured, in a few days, big sister will call for people to take care of the porcelain pieces that the crown prince had bestowed upon me and give it to little sister, so I definitely won't make little sister suffer grievances again."

The reward from the Crown Prince was much better than the one from the shop.

Mu Qianyu obediently shook her head: "No need, Big Sis, I don't need it either."

Zheng Qingyao was about to speak, but Madam Ning laughed: "Since that's the case, why don't Zheng Side send someone to get it right now, and also open our eyes."

Madam Ning was not in a good mood today and insisted on causing trouble at Zheng Family.

Furthermore, her master's position was high and she wasn't afraid of a Lateral Consort like Zheng Qingyao. Furthermore, her family had some relatives who were constantly on the same side as the Crown Princess, hence she decided to make things difficult for Zheng Qingyao.

Since Madam Ning had already made this suggestion, and the other wives were watching, Zheng Qingyao had no choice but to instruct some people to go back and fetch some good stuff.

Thinking about how she could take it back afterwards, she forgot about the logic behind Lady Mu never having something that reached her mouth she could spit out.

When the items were brought over, they were truly of good quality. The wives then gave their praises.

Zheng Qingyao was still putting on an act by calling for people to bring all kinds of clothes for Mu Qianyu. She said that a daughter of Zheng Family was not like a daughter of another family, and the things they use were naturally all the best.

This was actually raising her status.

With this delay, it was already noon. They could finally begin the banquet.

For today's banquet, Madame Wang had to prepare with quite a bit of effort.

And in order to prevent Mu Qianyu from tampering with the food, she had told Zheng Yong to pick a few servants to stay in the kitchen early in the morning, not allowing Mu Qianyu's men to come near.

In the middle of the table was a casserole. In the casserole, there was a specially prepared medicinal stewed chicken dish. It was said that it was extremely nutritious, and there were also many red dates in it.

"This chicken soup is also not bad. Everyone, try it."

Madame Wang told the little girl to scoop a bowl of chicken soup for everyone.

Zheng Qingqing sat together with Han Qingyu.

In order to express her sisterly feelings, Zheng said with a gentle smile, "Sister Yu, it's good to have a taste of this chicken soup."

Han Qingyu politely took a sip. The taste was a little strange, but she was a little embarrassed to say it.

Hearing her words, the other wives also tasted the wine, but they still felt that the taste was strange. Thinking that the method might be different, they didn't say anything more.

Mu Qianyu didn't go and drink the chicken soup, she only ate the small dishes in front of him.

Seeing that she did not drink it, Zheng Qingyao asked with concern, "Third sister, this chicken soup is most nutritious, why don't you drink it?"

"Big sister, I don't like to drink things that are too hot. I'll drink it when it's cold."

As Mu Qianyu said that, she intentionally used a spoon to stir the chicken soup, as though she was trying to make the soup cool faster.

"Give Sister Yu another bowl."

Under Zheng Qingqing's care, Han Qingyu quickly finished the bowl of chicken soup, and she quickly told the girl to scoop another bowl for Han Qingyu.

He didn't forget to add, "Don't just scoop up the soup and pick up two pieces of meat."

When the little girl heard it, she immediately used the chopsticks specially made for cloth to pick up the meat and gave it to Han Qingyu.

As there was a lot of soup, they couldn't tell what the meat inside looked like. Thus, when the little girl used her chopsticks to pick up the meat, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Old... "Mouse."

No one expected that the little girl did not pick up a chicken, but a black dead mouse.

"How could it be a mouse?"

Mu Qianyu had just picked up his spoon and was about to drink the chicken soup, but seeing this scene, she was so shocked that she threw the spoon in her hand out.

As for the lady who had just drunk the soup, when she saw that disgusting rat, she immediately started retching while holding the Kernels.

The others had only taken a single gulp or two, but Han Qingyu had taken an entire small bowl.

So when she saw the mouse, she threw up everything she had just eaten.

Han Qingyu's vomit was fine, but when the others saw it, they became even more disgusted, and started to vomit one after another.

Mu Qianyu followed the rest and spat out the Kernels that was covering their mouths.

It was just that she was pretending. She already knew that it was filled with rats, so how could she possibly drink it?
