Madame Jiang was actually an expert storyteller, stopping at the climax of the story. Zheng Qingluo and Grandma Zheng were listening with rapt attention, when Mrs. Zhang of Madame Jiang suddenly stopped.

The two of them were at a loss, still immersed in the story. Madame Jiang picked up the tea cup and took another sip, it was a little cold.

Being urged on by Madam Zheng, Madame Zhang did not take the topic. She continued to narrate with a face full of pride. Being paid attention was always a pleasure, and gossips also needed an audience.

"The young maid admitted everything that had happened. The Aunt Zhang in the concubine room of the Marquis of An, who was jealous of the Marquis of An's daughter, Zhao Minyan, has such a good partner to marry. She has been thinking for a long time."

"For the sake of letting their daughter, Master Hou's daughter, Zhao Mingzhi, join the Seventh Prince, the two of them found a man from outside the manor who was very poor when Zhao Minyan was about to reach his age and was holding a Spring Festival at the Residence of Marquis of An."

"He had promised him money and asked him to settle his home before changing into his prepared student clothes. Under the lead of an outer court servant and an inner court maid, he smoothly entered the house at the back and barged into the Miss Zhao's chamber."

"But who would've thought that at that time, Zhao Mingzhi, who had been guarding the door, would loudly cry out for help for her sister, calling for the people from the left to come over. The situation has become unmanageable, and it's hard to cover it up."

Zheng Qingluo did not expect her guess to be so close to the truth, but how did Aunt Zhang know so much? According to logic, the Seventh Prince's trial should not have come out.

"When the Marquis and Madam Hou rush over, Miss Zhao's chamber is already filled with people. Although the Miss Zhao's personal maidservants and mother both explained that this person could not enter the room, Zhao Mingzhi's ruckus caused this matter to no longer be clear."

"As for the poor kid who broke into the room, he was killed by a cane. He did not want to return alive before he came, so he was extremely stubborn. Under such circumstances where he could not get anything out of him, Master Hou could only endure the pain and send the Miss Zhao to Qingshan's temple."

"Initially, Master Hou wanted to wait for the matter to settle before thinking of a way out after it quieted down. Who knew that Qingshan would be completely buried by the mud avalanche, causing the Madam Hou to immediately fall ill and the Hou Mansion to lose its vitality?"

"But that mother and daughter of the Aunt Zhang were excited, they only wanted to ruin the young miss's reputation and seize the opportunity to reach the top. Who would have thought that the young miss would just leave like that, with a better ending than this."

"No more, not anymore. It's just that because of the young lady's death, the Hou Mansion will no longer hold a banquet. They've been waiting bitterly for an opportunity and are afraid that they will miss it."

"Finally, because the Seventh Prince wasn't keen on marriage, the Emperor began to order the ministers to organize the banquets in turn so that the Seventh Prince would have the chance to meet the other misses and not be addicted to the previous relationship."

"Because of the young miss, the Marquis Mansion felt very guilty towards the Seventh Prince. In order to close the distance between them and the Seventh Prince, they endured the heartache of losing their beloved daughter and organized a banquet to invite her back. They wanted to restore some of their friendship with the Seventh Prince."

"After all, in the Imperial Court, a few backers will receive a lot of protection. Aunt Zhang, upon hearing this news, immediately came up with a conspiracy with Miss Shu and Zhao Mingzhi.

And the Prince probably did not expect that someone would dare to plot against him in the Marquis Mansion. As long as the Seventh Prince entered the house, Miss Zhao Shu would use some tricks and cook the raw rice into cooked rice.

Old Madam Zheng couldn't help but look down on her for her words. "What is there to say? How can a young lady born in a concubine possibly climb to the position of prince? Even if she succeeds, she won't be able to sit in the position of wangfei."

This was something that could only be done with an IQ. "Besides, if they dare to plot against the royal family's prince, they would hate themselves for dying too late. With this kind of method, how could the prince let them live?"

How could he accept a challenge to the dignity of the royal family!

Zheng Qingluo also didn't quite understand. At the Marquis Mansion, this Aunt Zhang was very good at handling everything and was very considerate. Even Miss Shu and Zhao Mingzhi had their wits about them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten along so well with her. Unexpectedly, he died in the hands of this mother and daughter.

"This Aunt Zhang is really greedy, she is also a favorite in Master Hou's heart. After the death of Miss Zhao and when he fell ill, Master Hou handed the entire backyard to this Aunt Zhang, showing that she has an unshakeable personality."

"It's not easy to get the favour of the Marquis even with such a big young concubine like Miss. Who knew that she didn't treasure it and forced herself to walk a path to death." Madame Jiang Zhang sighed.

"When what happened, although the Seventh Prince did not hold the Duke's Mansion accountable, when he returned to the Mansion, he asked that young maid about it. There was no way he could keep the matter a secret anymore, and even the Emperor was asking about it."

"Master Hou still doesn't quite believe that it was Aunt Zhang who did this. She said that she was usually the most cautious and that her courage wasn't much bigger than a fly and that Seventh Prince didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the Hou Mansion either. She only said that she wanted Master Hou to take care of it on his own."

"Master Hou found the servants in the outer court, the woman who bought the incense, and the girl who cleaned up the guest rooms. Only when he investigated them one by one would he be able to believe that all of this was true.

"In the end, Aunt Zhang was sent to the manor, and a few days later, she suddenly fell ill and died. The young miss who was born with a concubine, Zhao Mingzhi, was also sent to the newly built new hall under the mountains, unable to return."

"Isn't that all? Why are you still saying that the house of the Marquis has collapsed, and that the Seventh Prince has done something to the house of the Marquis? " Zheng Qingluo asked about the situation of the house of the Marquis somewhat anxiously.

Although she had already guessed what was going on, she still thought that if she had the chance or if she had the ability, she would definitely not let go of this mother and daughter pair.

However, when he heard his aunt Zhang was done, all that was left was worry for the house of the Marquis. No matter what, he could not put his heart at ease with his mother and father who loved him dearly. He always hoped that they would get a good result.

"What's the need for the Seventh Prince to do that? Even after finding out the truth, the Marquis of An didn't believe that woman would do such a thing. Just this point is enough for him to fall flat on his face."

"The important duke of An in the imperial court actually doesn't even know the character of his concubine. Even after the truth was revealed, he still has some doubts. It can be seen that he doesn't know much about people."

"They say that he dotes the most on his legitimate daughter, but when it comes to his beloved concubine, he actually doesn't care about his daughter's grievances and only cares about her. How can such a person stand up in the court?"

"It's a good thing that he found out the truth in the end and didn't do anything to protect that woman. He didn't hesitate to kill her and avenged his daughter. However, it was all too late."

We were all kept in the dark by her, but if that's the case, then Zheng Qingluo wouldn't dare to say it out loud. She could only worry for her father in her heart.

That woman really knew how to disguise. Everyone in the manor had been deceived by her appearance. Who would have thought that a woman who had been gentle and gentle for more than a decade would have a heart like a snake and a heart like a scorpion, harbouring evil intentions?

"So it turned out to be such a twist. The young mistress of the house of the Marquis got involved in vain and lost her life because of a good marriage." Madam Zheng was full of pity for the young lady.

"How could I be implicated for nothing? In such a rich family, one has to be prepared to be persecuted at any time. All of the wives and concubines in the backyard are like this, giving birth to a large number of concubines. How could all of them be good?"

"There are plenty of people waiting to get rid of you. If you are born in a mansion like this and can't learn how to protect yourself, then losing your conscience or losing your life is only a matter of time."
