Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 332 The Legal Wife in the Concubine's Story 13

"It's a waste to let a teacher teach one child alone. Otherwise, Lingruo, why don't you let the children of the servants in the Marquis' Mansion take the teacher's class?"

She continued, "What do you think, old lady?"

Hearing Bai Fu's words, Ling Ruo almost couldn't help laughing out loud. She really was worthy of being the original owner's best friend.

"I... have no objection." The old lady said this through gritting her teeth.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Crown Prince's wife is kind-hearted and is willing to ask even the servants' children to seek tutoring. If she blames Ling Ruo in front of Bai Fu, she would be in the wrong if the news gets out.

If he was Lingruo's adopted son, then she could say that she was not paying attention and was being hypocritical, but who asked him to be registered under the name of Nanny Cui?

"That's great. It's a blessing for the Marquis's Mansion to have a lady like Lingruo who is so considerate of the servants."

Bai Fu didn't take the old lady's gloomy expression seriously at all. In her opinion, the nanny just now seemed to want to capture Ling Ruo and bring her to justice.

She thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be just a trivial matter of finding a teacher from Shuxiangtang for a servant's child.

The old lady and the prince seemed quite dissatisfied. What was going on? Could it be that Lingruo had to go to the Zhai family to invite a contemporary scholar?

Seeing that she had almost finished her visits for the day, Bai Fu said goodbye and left with her maid.

Back at Qingyou Courtyard, Jiang Huaiqing's eyes were filled with anger, but he suppressed it forcefully, "Madam, I underestimated you."

Zhai Lingruo blinked and said, "My Lord, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Didn't you ask me to find a teacher for Nian Tan from Madam Cui's family? Oh, I see. The prince must be worried that Nian Tan would be too lonely as a young child. But this is good too. Tomorrow there will be other children to keep Nian Tan company."

Jiang Huaiqing forced himself not to attack Zhai Lingruo. How could his son stay with the children of the servants in the Marquis' Mansion?

He even doubted whether Zhai Lingruo knew something, but if she did, she would have angrily refused to find a teacher instead of agreeing so readily.

It seems that Zhai Lingruo really treated Nian Tan as a servant's child, which is why she went to Shuxiangtang to find a teacher at will.

But Jiang Huaiqing couldn't possibly tell Zhai Lingruo: This is my biological son, go to the Zhai family and ask Mr. Meng to come and teach him.

In this way, what Jiang Huaiqing had been hiding all along would be exposed. Not only would Zhai Lingruo make a fuss, but the Zhai family behind her would not let him go either.

"It's getting late, Prince, you should go and take care of your official business early." Zhai Lingruo began to drive people away.

Jiang Huaiqing was so angry that he stormed out.

It was really boring to stay in the Marquis' Mansion all the time, so Zhai Lingruo went out of the Mansion several times under the pretext of managing the shop.

Occasionally, she would live in the courtyard outside. After all, Jiang Huaiqing seldom returned home often, and she had replaced a group of servants in Qingyou Courtyard. Those who stayed there were all her people, and no one would talk about it.

But she felt something was wrong.

Every time she left the house, she always felt that someone was following her secretly.

But those hidden gazes did not have any malice, but more like protection. Zhai Lingruo thought about it and came up with an idea. She walked to the street, like a rich lady who went out for fun without the protection of guards or servants, and spent a lot of money to buy some useless gadgets from time to time.

Logically speaking, since she was so high-profile, pickpockets and thugs would target her, but she walked around for a long time, but no suspicious person came to steal her purse containing silver.

In the alleys of the long street, several pickpockets who specifically targeted lonely people who looked stupid and rich were lying on the ground. They originally wanted to get close to the girl who looked rich, but before they could get close, they were knocked unconscious and thrown here.

The secret guards of the Dragon Guard Division didn't know why the commander sent them to protect a marquis's wife, but since they had received the order from their superiors, they had no choice but to follow it.

Zhai Lingruo walked around the street for a long time, then went to the shop under his name and inspected it.

The new female housekeeper was very much to her liking. She was a woman who had been driven out of her husband's family and whom she met on the road a few days ago. At that time, Housekeeper Lin had nowhere to go, and Zhai Lingruo couldn't bear it, so she took her in.

Who would have thought that this woman actually had experience in managing a shop.

"Madam, you don't know." Manager Lin said shyly, "I used to manage the shop at home."

Then an old lady who came in to buy cloth said, "Shopkeeper Lin, your husband's family divorced you. They are really blind."

Manager Lin smiled and shook his head, "It was a blessing in disguise. If they hadn't divorced me, how would I have met the Madam?"

"Madam, the lotus flowers in the lake outside Beijing are in full bloom. In previous years, I would always go with him to admire the summer lotus flowers, but this year..." Manager Lin said softly, "The shops in the suburbs of Beijing are not very prosperous. Madam, you can go and check it out when you have time. I believe it will be profitable to run a business there."

"Yeah." Zhai Lingruo said lightly. She was not short of money, and opening a shop in the suburbs of Beijing was not a big deal.

But recently, someone always mentioned the suburbs of Beijing in front of her, as if they wanted her to go there. If Zhai Lingruo remembered correctly, Jiang Huaiqing's mistress also lived in that area.

Zhai Lingruo looked at Manager Lin's hands meaningfully. There were thick calluses on his palms and knuckles. She didn't believe that such a wonderful woman who was good at martial arts was divorced by her husband's family. However, there was someone who wanted Manager Lin to get close to her, so there was no reason for her to refuse him.

What's more, Manager Lin is really capable. The income of the shop under her name has increased several times in the past few days.

Hou House.

The sound of reading was loud and clear. Jiang Niantan felt that the sound of his peers reading was particularly noisy. He was only three years old, which was the age for playing. The teacher taught multiple children and naturally could not focus only on Jiang Niantan. Therefore, among the children of the servants, his qualifications and performance were mediocre.

The sound of reading disappeared for an unknown amount of time before Jiang Niantan woke up. His classmates mocked him, "Tsk, you woke up! I thought you were the young master of the Marquis' Mansion..."

“Hahahahaha, maybe the gentleman couldn’t bear to watch it anymore, so he didn’t ask him to get up.”

"It is because of the teacher's kindness that we can read and learn to read. It's fine if you don't cherish her, but you even talk back to the teacher and sleep in class." Xiao He was very angry when he talked about this.

"It's none of your business!" Jiang Niantan refused to accept the decision. His father was the eldest son of the Marquis' Mansion. How could these servants compare with him?

In his heart, he also looked down on the teacher who enlightened him, and always felt that the man was not qualified.

If his father hadn't repeatedly warned him not to call him daddy in the mansion, or he wouldn't give him candy to eat, Jiang Niantan would have ignored it long ago.

"Forget it, Xiao He." Someone else shook his head at Xiao He.

Xiao He looked at Jiang Niantan with contempt and was about to leave, but who knew that it was this look that angered Jiang Niantan.

Jiang Niantan rushed over, and the two little people wrestled with each other.
