After Tang Cheng reorganized the Duke's Mansion, it became more orderly than before, and he also cleaned out a group of servants with ill intentions and greed.
The huge Duke's Mansion was filled with peace and tranquility.
The ambitious Aunt Chen watched helplessly as her hidden threads and nails were removed one by one. Her patience ran out bit by bit, so she secretly sent someone to send a letter to the Duke's wife who was praying in the nunnery.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that the Duke's wife couldn't return home at will, and Aunt Chen's wishful thinking fell through.
Tang Cheng's reorganization accidentally avoided many potential calculations and dangers.
Unfortunately, all the credit was attributed to Wen Huaian, who inexplicably became a doting husband, and Tang Cheng harvested a lot of hatred.
Tang Cheng: “…”
So angry!
The world is blind.
Wen Huaian: “…”
He didn't mean it.
Time flies, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. Tang Cheng has been pregnant for six months. As one of the only two hostesses in the Duke's Mansion, Tang Cheng has not received any invitations from the ladies since she married into the Duke's Mansion. She has become a strange flower in the upper-class aristocratic circle who is excluded by the ladies.
In short, Tang Cheng was excluded from this circle.
Faced with the maids' worries, Tang Cheng didn't take them to heart at all.
She was busy giving and receiving holiday gifts, so she had no time to pay attention to the ridiculous exclusion of those noble ladies.
Her status is enough for most people to look up to and curry favor with her.
It's just a party for the lady, she doesn't care.
On this day, Tang Cheng had just sent someone to the Min Mansion to deliver gifts when the Queen's personal maid arrived, bringing the Queen's decree for her to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.
Tang Cheng gently stroked her bulging belly and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet sounds very lively."
"Miss, in your current situation, you don't need to go to the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet." Seeing that the young lady seemed quite interested, Zhenzhu couldn't help but remind her that there would always be some bad things happening at every palace banquet.
Tang Cheng's lips curled slightly: "The Queen specially issued an imperial decree to let me attend. She must have learned about my situation from the imperial physician. Excuses such as pretending to be sick and having a miscarriage will definitely not be hidden from the Queen. It is better for me to enter the palace openly."
Pearl was speechless.
The young lady's health condition is very good. From the time she became pregnant until now, she has not only not had morning sickness, but she has not even been sick. Every time the imperial physician performs a routine pulse examination, he is amazed and says that he has never seen a pregnant woman in such good health.
What else can Pearl say
"Young lady is right. This matter cannot be avoided. The Queen has been waiting for this day. Young lady must prepare well before entering the palace." After Amber finished speaking, she began to think about what medicine to prepare for the young lady to defend herself.
Pearl and the other three nodded in agreement.
They all knew that the young lady and the queen had been at odds with each other for a long time.
The first time she entered the palace, the young lady lost the Empress's face. After getting married, she snatched the Empress's most favored royal chef away.
This time, the Queen Mother issued an imperial decree to allow the young lady to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, and she must have had no good intentions.
Tang Cheng's eyes rolled.
"It's time to prepare well."
After Wen Huaian came back from the yamen, Tang Cheng poured him some tea and told him to ask Tang Ping to help prepare some medicinal materials for making body-strengthening potions.
"You want to make a body-strengthening potion?" Wen Huaian looked at her bulging belly, frowned, and his handsome face was full of disapproval.
"Yes, but it's not a strengthening potion. Refining a strengthening potion requires luck. It's the odor potion that I accidentally refined in the palace before. I am confident that I can refine it again."
Tang Cheng said confidently.
She felt very clever to use the stink potion to protect herself.
Wen Huaian's mouth twitched.
"Are you sure you won't make some poison potion?"
Tang Cheng glared at Wen Huaian angrily and said unhappily: "Wen Huaian, can't you have a little confidence in me?"
Do you have the confidence to refine the odor potion
Wen Huaian was speechless.
"Why do you suddenly want to make... ahem... a stink potion?"
Tang Cheng glanced at him, snorted, and said with great pride: "The Queen has issued an imperial decree to allow me to enter the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. To be on the safe side, I decided to get some stinking potion to protect myself."
Wen Huaian looked at Tang Cheng's smug look, his expression indescribable.
Bring a smelly potion to protect yourself...
Only Tang Cheng could think of this.
But... this method is good. It does not hurt anyone and can protect yourself.
When Wen Huaian thought of the queen in the palace who had a grudge against Tang Cheng, a dark light flashed across his eyes.
"Well, I really should get some stink potion to protect myself."
There were too many unexpected events at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, and he couldn't always be by Tang Cheng's side to protect her. He never dared to look down on the women in the palace. Now Wen Huaian hoped that Tang Cheng could refine the stinking potion.
Regardless of whether someone is trying to harm Tang Cheng or not, we have to be prepared for any eventuality.
Tang Cheng was very happy with Wen Huaian's support.
The next day, Tang Cheng was refining odor potion in an inner room of a yard far away from Wutong Courtyard.
She specially prepared several wet wipes.
The four maids looked confused and worried as they watched the young lady making the potion with her big belly.
The refining of the stinking potion went relatively smoothly. Tang Cheng refined it in one go. After sealing it, before the four maids could breathe a sigh of relief, Tang Cheng refined it again. This time the stinking potion was even thicker and smellier than the previous one. Tang Ping, who was protecting Tang Cheng, accidentally took a sip and fainted from the stench.
The four maids, who had their noses and mouths tightly covered with wet wipes, stared with wide eyes.
Dizzy…
Butler Tang was actually knocked unconscious by the stench!
Oh my god, this stink potion is horrible.
The other four trusted guards sent by Wen Huaian to protect Tang Cheng were shocked and seemed to be in disbelief.
Tang Cheng was surprised and delighted by the effect. He named the potion Stink No. 2 and decided to bring Stink No. 2 with him for self-defense when he entered the palace.
Tang Ping looked hopeless when he woke up.
He was a soldier retreating from the battlefield, and he was actually fainted by the stench.
It's so embarrassing.
After the Duke of Zhenguo and Wen Huaian learned about this, the father and son looked at each other and thought of the best place to put the odor potion.
But there is no rush for this.
The border is relatively stable, and the most important thing for Tang Cheng now is to give birth to the baby safely.
As for the fact that Tang Cheng will bring Stinky No. 2 into the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, ahem, the Duke of Zhenguo simply pretended not to know.
The same is true for Wen Huaian.
I hope no one will provoke or plot against Tang Cheng, otherwise...
Wen Huaian couldn't imagine that scene.
…
While Tang Cheng was sharpening his knife and preparing to enter the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, in a popular nunnery on the outskirts of the capital, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, Mrs. Min, had a gloomy face and a hint of anxiety between her brows.
"Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in a few days. Has no one come to the Duke's Mansion yet?"
The confidant nanny shook her head: "No."
Min's heart sank suddenly. Without the permission of the Duke of Zhenguo, she could not leave the nunnery. The guards who followed her not only protected her but also monitored her every move.
She couldn't even attack Tang Si.
When she heard that Tang Si had drastically reorganized the Duke's Mansion and had a firm control over the entire mansion, the Duke's wife almost vomited blood out of anger.
She really underestimated Tang Si.
I didn't expect Tang Si to be so ambitious.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, a festival for family reunion, is very important. The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo has been waiting for this day to return home and give Tang Si a good lesson.
Unexpectedly, no one came from the Duke's Mansion.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was shocked and angry. The Duke would not really plan to let her stay in the nunnery for the rest of her life, right? The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, who had always been fearless because she gave birth to a good son, could not help but feel a little panic in her heart.
"Madam, you can write a letter and send it to the Min Mansion. As long as the Queen Mother issues an imperial decree, you can definitely attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet and return to the Duke's Mansion at the same time. The Duke can't say anything." The trusted nanny came up with an idea.
Upon hearing this, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo suddenly cleared away her previous gloom and panic.
Yes, she can follow the Queen's path. The Queen has been humiliated by Tang Si, so she will definitely bear a grudge against Tang Si.
The Queen Mother will definitely return to the palace for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. The Queen Mother and the Queen are aunt and niece, so she can join forces with the Queen.
As long as Tang Si is eliminated, everything can return to normal, and she can still be the glorious wife of the Duke.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo calmed down, quickly picked up a pen to write a letter, sealed it, and whispered to her trusted nanny.
"Mammy, I'll leave this matter to you."
The trusted nanny stuffed the envelope into her sleeve and hurriedly left the room.
A few days later, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo returned home in a grand manner after receiving the Queen's decree.
The four maids outside the main courtyard were pacing back and forth nervously and worriedly.
Half an hour has passed and the lady hasn't come out yet.
The Duke and his son-in-law are still out on business.
If anything happened to the young lady, they would have no way to ask for help.
In the lobby, Tang Cheng looked bored at his mother-in-law who couldn't wait to find fault and lecture him as soon as she got home. He yawned quietly and spoke kindly.
"Mother-in-law, you must be thirsty after talking so much. Why don't you drink some tea to moisten your throat first?"
"Someone, serve tea to mother-in-law."
As soon as Tang Cheng finished speaking, a maid quickly poured a cup of tea for the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, who was lecturing non-stop, almost choked on her own saliva. She pointed at Tang Cheng, shaking with anger, and shouted, "Someone, take Tang Si to the ancestral hall to reflect on himself for three hours!"
The maids and old women all lowered their heads and pretended not to hear, and no one came forward.
This is embarrassing.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo's heart was beating wildly and her face turned purple with anger. She was the mistress of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and she couldn't even order the maids and old women around. If this got out, she would be too ashamed to face anyone.
Unexpectedly, in just one month, the huge Duke's Mansion had become a place where Tang Si had the final say.
The servants actually acted according to Tang Si's expression.
She, the wife of the Duke, became a decoration.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo could not accept this cruel fact, and her heart beat more and more violently.
The confidant nanny saw that something was not right with the lady and hurriedly patted her chest to calm her down.
But this guy Tang Cheng spoke again.
"Mother-in-law, I've always known that you don't like a daughter-in-law like me who can't talk. If you get sick from this, it's my fault. I'd better go back to Wutong Courtyard and stay there. I won't come out for no reason and bother you."
After Tang Cheng finished speaking, she left the lobby neatly with her big belly.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was left with no place to vent her anger, and she couldn't do anything about Tang Cheng, so she fainted from anger.
Tang Cheng, who had just walked out of the main courtyard, looked up at the cloudless sky: "…"
My mother-in-law has such poor mental quality!
