Chapter 391 Temporary Calm

If Jiang Yanhui wanted to investigate, he would naturally use some of his hidden forces.

However, Xu Zhaozhao had already planned everything before exposing Jiang Ning.

It's no wonder Xu Zhaozhao was ruthless; Jiang Ning had offended too many people in the past.

Among them, besides Princess Leyang, there were also Princess Ningshuo, Princess Yunning, and others.

Xu Zhaozhao only needs to use a few tricks to mislead Jiang Yanhui's investigation.

Therefore, when it was finally handed over to Grand Tutor Jiang, several forces were simultaneously attacking Jiang Ning, which led to this outcome.

Grand Tutor Jiang was furious, but there was nothing he could do to change the situation.

Right now, besides getting along well with these people as soon as possible, we must keep Jiang Ning under control and make sure she doesn't get into any more trouble.

Jiang Yanhui offered an idea, which Grand Tutor Jiang approved.

The next day, Madam Song brought two elderly nannies over to pay their respects to Princess Zhong.

“Jiang Ning is young and this is her first time giving birth to a daughter, so she may not know how to take care of a child. When my father found out, he asked me to select a few experienced and reliable servants so that Jiang Ning would not cause any more trouble for the princess.”

Zhao Yue could roughly guess the other party's intentions and nodded slightly: "Madam, please go and visit Madam Jiang. She has been in a bad mood recently, which has naturally affected the child. I was also having a headache over this matter. With Madam's arrival, I can feel at ease."

Of course, Madam Song could understand the princess's intention; it was just polite talk, anyone could say that.

On this trip, Madam Song left two nannies behind for Jiang Ning and took away two of Jiang Ning's dowry maids.

These two were the same people who had previously run errands for Jiang Ning and had been frequently in contact with his undercover agents outside; they were essentially Jiang Ning's eyes and ears.

Jiang Ning was powerless to stop the two men from being taken away.

It was only then that she realized she might be in an even bigger predicament.

Only then could Xu Zhaozhao truly focus on what she needed to do without having to worry about Jiang Ning causing trouble every day.

Xu Junqing was getting married, and the entire Hou family was naturally filled with joy.

Xu Zhaozhao and Xie Zheng naturally had to take some time to go back.

Xu Zhaozhao is now married out of the family, and according to the servants of the Marquis's mansion, she is now called "Grandma," so naturally they can't let her work hard anymore.

So Xu Zhaozhao was only responsible for eating and drinking, and then coaxing her little nephew to stay by her side.

Xu Zhaozhao really liked this nephew. Not only was he handsome and chubby, but he also had a sweet tongue, calling her "Auntie" all the time, which melted Xu Zhaozhao's heart.

"Sister-in-law, there are already a lot of things to do at home, and now you have something to do too. How about I take the little tiger with me for a few days?"

Zhang was taken aback: "How can this be? You have plenty of things to do yourself. If this child goes there, he'll definitely cause trouble for you. Don't be fooled by his well-behaved appearance now; he's actually a troublemaker, and he'll be involved in all sorts of mischief!"

The little tiger was unhappy and pouted, saying, "Mother is talking badly about me again. I didn't do anything bad."

Xu Zhaozhao smiled and patted his head: "Good boy, I knew our little tiger was the best. How about Auntie takes you to the Hundred Fruit Garden? There are cranes there, have you ever seen them?"

The little tiger's eyes widened when it heard this.

"Crane? Really? I want to go!"

Xu Zhaozhao smiled. Once she had appeased the younger one, the older one would be easier to persuade.

Madam Zhang smiled. She neither agreed nor disagreed, because she knew that the little tiger was the eldest grandson of the Marquis's family, and he was not someone she could simply decide to do as she pleased.

Xu Junan didn't care when he heard this. Besides, it was a good thing that Little Tiger liked Zhao Zhao and was willing to spend more time with her. Anyway, Zhao Zhao didn't have any children yet, so maybe letting her take care of Little Tiger would bring good news to the Xie family soon.

There are still a few days until the wedding. Although everyone in the manor is busy, the wedding decorations have not yet been put on. Xu Zhaozhao and Xie Zheng came here mainly to see if they can be of any help.

Xu Junqing was a scholar, so he naturally had the mannerisms of a literary man.

"Sanlang, when I go to fetch my bride, if we encounter any armed resistance at the gate, I'll have to rely on you and my second brother."

Xu Junfeng wasn't there; he was on duty in the palace at the moment. Xie Zheng readily agreed: "Don't worry, Fourth Brother. When we go to fetch the bride, we'll have both civil and military officials with us. There's nothing to be afraid of! Just make sure you don't forget about us meritorious officials after you bring your new bride home."

A few jokes from men can bring them much closer.

When she finally left, Xu Zhaozhao really took the little tiger with her.

Wang Ruolan and Xu Han had no objections. Only one of the nannies responsible for taking care of the little tiger's food and daily life went with them. Zhang had no objections, but simply had a few sets of clothes packed for him.

Princess Anhe is about to give birth, and her belly is too big right now. Unless it's something really important, she doesn't leave her own courtyard. Moreover, Wang Ruolan has specifically instructed that whenever anyone sees the Second Young Mistress, no matter what they are doing, they must put everything down and take care of her first.

It can be said that the entire Hou family treated Princess Anhe and Li Mingya as priceless treasures.

Wang Ruolan wasn't as attentive to Zhang Shi, mainly because Zhang Shi wasn't having her first child and had experience, and the people serving her had been taking care of her for a long time.

So when Xu Zhaozhao took the little tiger away, Wang Ruolan also thought it was a good thing.

There's a happy occasion going on in the family, and all the daughters-in-law are heavily pregnant. Even if she, as the mother-in-law, doesn't need to take care of them personally, she still has to worry about them.

Xu Zhaozhao took the little tiger home and slept with it that night, leaving Xie Zheng out in the cold.

Xie Zheng wasn't annoyed; in fact, he treated the little tiger even better.

But in the middle of the night, while Xu Zhaozhao was sleeping soundly, Xie Zheng carried her back.

Of course, it couldn't be as simple as just taking her back. Xu Zhaozhao, whose peaceful dream had been disturbed, was naturally in a bad mood and started throwing a tantrum early the next morning.

But it didn't work.

Because Xie Zheng entered the palace.

Xie Zheng returned at noon.

Xu Zhaozhao then realized that Xie Zheng was going to the palace to work tonight, which was why he deliberately caused such a scene last night.

Thinking about it that way, Xu Zhaozhao stopped being angry.

Xie Zheng got the little tiger a wooden sword, which made the child extremely happy.

"Uncle, my sword is so short!"

"Well, when you grow up, your uncle will forge you a real longsword so that our little tiger can be incredibly mighty, okay?"

"it is good!"

The little tiger can't understand what he's saying now, but he does understand that he'll get better things for him in the future.

"Tomorrow is a day off?"

Xie Zheng nodded: "I'll escort you to the Hundred Fruit Garden tomorrow."

Xu Zhaozhao thought about it and agreed; half a day wouldn't make a difference.

Before dinner, Yu sent someone to invite Xu Zhaozhao.

"This was sent by the Qu family, and the old lady already knows about it. She called you here now to ask for your opinion."
