Jiang Wan sat down at the side of the table, looking at Jasmine with an inquisitive expression, causing Jasmine to panic a little as she tugged at the corner of her clothes.

"That's it?" Jiang Wan quietly looked at Jasmine. During her years as the imperial concubine, she had trained together with Jiang Yu and gained the ability of not having any face at all.

She lowered her eyes and said, "It's just a few cold dishes and a few hot dishes. I know you're not the type of person to care about these things. Say it, did that grandma Wang say something else?"

Jasmine's expression tensed up, and quickly looked at mother Han, who was standing by the side.

"You don't have to make eye contact with me." Jiang Wan didn't even raise her eyes, only staring at her wrist in a daze. When did a bracelet with gold inlay appear on her left wrist? Furthermore, looking at the jade's color, it was as green as a pool of green water, causing people to feel relaxed and happy. One look at it and they would know that it wasn't an ordinary jade.

She quietly rolled up her sleeves and hid the jade bracelet inside her sleeve, continuing, "If you think it's for my sake to hide something from me, then there's really no need. You should know that sometimes the three smelly smiths talk about Zhuge Liang, and if you don't tell me, I might never know, then I will never find a way to solve this problem …" "Then we will always be bullied …"

Hearing that, Jasmine's expression immediately became serious. With a pu tong sound, she suddenly knelt in front of Jiang Wan and cried, "Fourth Miss, I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't want to make you sad, then … "That old woman Wang said …"

"Say what?" Jiang Wan suddenly closed her eyes, and her calm demeanor scared Jasmine so much that she trembled. Without even thinking, she repeated everything that Lady Wang said in the kitchen.

"She said that?" Unlike Jasmine's imagination of becoming angry from embarrassment, Jiang Wan could only slowly stand up, casually opening the box to take a look. That white porridge was obviously not done properly, and with just a glance, she could see the rice grains that were still fresh.

She slowly closed her eyes, calming the slightly churning blood in her chest. She still vividly remembered all of the things that happened in her previous life. Sometimes, one's retreat and avoidance would not gain the sympathy of their opponent, and on the contrary, they would only get even worse.

After Jiang Wan made this decision in her heart, she opened her eyes once again. A hint of sharpness that her mother and Jasmine were unfamiliar with appeared in her eyes.

"Mother Han, if I remember correctly, your son is working in the outer court right now, right?" Jiang Wan looked at her mother and asked.

"Right, he's running errands and stuff right now." Mama Han couldn't understand why the Fourth Miss would suddenly ask about her son.

"Then if I let him do something for me, would he have the time?" Jiang Wan looked at her mother and asked playfully.

"Yes, yes." Although she didn't know what her young mistress was going to do, her mother still agreed. However, she felt strange inside. Why did Fourth Young Miss, a child who had been brought up as a child, feel a little different from before?

Hearing her mother's words, Jiang Wan slightly smiled, and then whispered in her mother's ear.

Mama Han nodded her head and memorized the Fourth Miss' words before hurrying off to the outer court to find her son.

Watching her mother leave, Jiang Wan sneered in her heart. This old woman was a distant relative of the late Old Lady Wang, she had already taken charge of the Jiang family's kitchen while the Old Lady was still alive.

This time, the Qin family had moved over from Zhenjiang, and after obtaining Old Lady Wang's opinion, they had also brought their entire family over.

However, this Old Lady Wang was also a greedy person. In the years she had been in charge of the Jiang family's kitchen, she had secretly deducted several taels of silver from the bounty. He did not forget to give some benefits to his own pocket.

She was someone who liked to deceive people. She was relying on her relationship with Old Lady Wang to make a name for herself in the kitchen. In her previous life, if it weren't for the fact that her subordinates couldn't bear it any longer and directly gathered a pile of her evidence to report this to the Qin family, Lady Qin would have directly sent Lady Wang to an official out of anger.

Although all of this happened after she entered the crown prince's residence, looking at the arrogant attitude of Lady Wang in this life, she, Jiang Wan, did not mind bringing forward the schedule for this matter.

Thinking of that, Jiang Wan quietly sat down. She picked up the bowl and chopsticks, drank half a bowl of white porridge from the plate of dried bamboo shoots and the pickled cucumber, and was still in a hurry to pay her respects to the Qin family.

After breakfast, she changed into a narrow, sky-blue, bamboo brocade tunic. She carried her royal blue enamel brocade bird stove, put on her gray crane silk cloak, and went out the door.

A few magpies were playing with each other on the plum trees covered in snow, causing the snow on the branches to fall down abruptly.

When Clove, who was following beside Jiang Wan, saw this, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Fourth Miss, it's a magpie. What a good omen."

Jiang Wan stood there, her fingers lightly stroking the flower and bird patterns on the stove. She looked at the two magpies that were happily playing and smiled wryly with a heart full of bitter smiles. If she remembered correctly, Big Sis's invitation would be delivered to her doorstep today. It was simply bad luck!

Forget it, whether it was fortune or misfortune was unavoidable. What was to come had to be faced.

When Jiang Wan arrived at the veranda of Jun Yatang's main house, she saw a woman wearing ten kinds of brown brocade flowers standing in the snow in the courtyard. She raised her eyes to look at her and discovered that it was Senior Servant Qin, who was standing next to Jiang Yu.

At this time, logically speaking, he should still not know her. Jiang Wan thought for a moment, then walked over with a clear mind, allowing the young maid guarding the door to pass in.

"Hey, this must be the fourth lady!" Unexpectedly, that Qin mama took the initiative to come over and talk to her. "Please accept this old servant's respect!"

Having said so, Senior Servant Qin was about to give Jiang Wan a big bow.

Jiang Wan naturally inclined her body to the side to avoid the attack. Afterwards, she looked at Qin mama with a puzzled expression and said in a low voice, "This mother is so unfamiliar …"

"No wonder Fourth Miss didn't recognize this old servant," Senior Servant Qin said with a face full of smiles. "When this old servant followed the Empress into the crown prince's mansion, Fourth Miss was only five or six years old. It's normal for this old servant not to remember."

Jiang Wan knew that after staying by Jiang Yu's side for too long, Senior Qin would train to be just like Jiang Yu. On the surface, she would appear to be friendly with you, but in reality, she was a person that she could not afford to offend.

"So it's the mama by the Empress's side." Jiang Wan slightly bent her knees and gave her a humble salute, saying, "Everyone says that as a seventh rank official under the Prime Minister, this mama is a popular person by elder sister's side, so she is naturally different from ordinary people."

That Senior Servant Qin would usually be flattered by people when she was by Jiang Wei's side, but she was usually a person who knew how to conduct herself, and things like this were never the truth. However, when she saw Jiang Wan treat her like this, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.
