Li Qingyi's calculation was pretty good.
The mother and daughter obviously knew that it would be unwise to cause trouble and attract attention as soon as they entered the house, so they suppressed their temper, pretended to be weak to the end, and let those claws wave at them fiercely.
And after they collected a basketful of grievances, they were finally able to take them out one by one.
Originally, the third master was still glad that everything was safe in the house after his wife and daughter came into the house. However, it turned out that the mother and daughter swallowed all their grievances because they were afraid of embarrassment for themselves. He felt distressed and angry at the same time.
The third wife was so angry that Tianling Gai was so angry that she almost exploded, and even cursed her with swear words.
This approach undoubtedly made the third master even more disgusted. Even the old lady advised the third wife, mother and daughter not to go too far.
In this wave, the mother and daughter in the outer room fought a great victory.
The servants in the mansion were accustomed to flattering others and putting them down, and they were most willing to follow the wind. When an incident reached this point, their attitude towards the mother and daughter in the outer room completely changed.
Not only did the mother and daughter in the outer chamber not rely on pampering, but they were cautious, polite, and generous with their actions. Within a few days, they had conquered a large number of vacillating and unattached servants to do things for them.
After Changlan and Changning analyzed what they had done, they looked at Li Qingyi and said, "Compared to the twists and turns in the capital, this battle is simply simple and crude!"
"The people under the Emperor's feet have lived in dire straits from childhood to adulthood. Everyone's heart is full of twists and turns, and they also pay attention to hiding things when doing things. There are not so many twists and turns here. If you are a little smarter, you can See clearly what’s going on here.”
"Hey! Mr. Chen San is still so into the drama. Didn't he notice something?"
Li Qingyi smiled and said: "You can't say that. He is in the game, and he is partial to the mother and daughter from the outside. Even if he knows that the mother and daughter are deliberately complaining to him, how can he not be moved? After all, the third wife He really reached out to them, and the bullying they suffered is all before their eyes."
"Not only that, the third master probably also enjoys the feeling of women competing for him!"
Chang Ning sneered and imitated the third master's tone and said: "Oh, these ladies really treat me like meat and potatoes. They have endured humiliation and hardship for me, just to seek my mercy. They have been bullied so much for nothing. Unlike the housekeeper, who doesn't let me go." I do this, don’t let me do that!”
Li Qingyi was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay, don't just watch the excitement. Secretly, there are still people who are eyeing us."
Chang Lan said: "Speaking of this, I feel chills running down my spine... I know that there must be something wrong with these people who entered the house, but I don't know which one has the problem. However, these people are so into the drama. I have observed a few times. Day, I didn’t see anything!”
Chang Ning said: "I don't think it's the cinnabar mole. The Chongnan female imperial master must know that we have the Lin family. They have known each other since they were young. What kind of person is Lin Yue? Does Ye Lanyue know? She You should have guessed that Ms. Lin didn't want her to have an easy time, and would betray her and reveal her details to us. This cinnabar mole is the symbol of Ye Lanyue. If she disguised herself, she would definitely cover up the cinnabar mole. Why? Would you show it so openly to arouse our suspicion? This Chen Shuling must be a cover-up!"
Chang Lan immediately noticed the flaw in her words, "Maybe Ye Lanyue knew you would think so, so he did the opposite."
Li Qingyi shook his head: "Everything you say is right, but nothing is wrong."
The two girls were startled and looked at her doubtfully.
Li Qingyi said: "According to Chang Ning, Chen Shuling is Ye Lanyue's deception, so Chen Shuling's cinnabar mole is fake. Has she been pretending like this since she was a child?"
"Also, if Chen Shuling is acting as a cover-up, then her mother and the third master must know about it and be with Ye Lanyue. In other words, we have entered a den of thieves."
"Isn't this impossible? Our decision to come to the Chen Mansion was made on the spur of the moment. It is impossible for Ye Lanyue to arrange a Chen Shuling disguise in advance for more than ten years."
Li Qingyi nodded, "So, Chen Shuling is not Ye Lanyue's deception. Either she is Ye Lanyue, or Chen Shuling has nothing to do with this matter. It is really just a coincidence that she has a cinnabar mole that is very familiar to Ye Lanyue."
Chang Lan thought about it: "How about I go test that Chen Shuling tonight?"
Li Qingyi shook his head: "What if she is? You will be in danger."
"Then what should we do? We can't just rely on guessing all the time. Lin said that Ye Lanyue has learned a lot of strange tricks. If one day some evil tricks come up, we may not be able to withstand them."
Li Qingyi thought for a while and said: "Perhaps, we can start with the third wife..."
"Third Madam? Madam, you are telling me to ask the Third Madam to inquire about the mother and daughter?"
"Well, if we take action, Ye Lanyue will probably notice it, so it's better to borrow the third wife's help to check the details of the mother and daughter. And we ourselves will pretend not to notice anything, so as not to alert the snake. However, We can't focus all our energy on Chen Shuling, in case the night is just diverting our attention, but has actually sneaked up on us..."
Changning Changlan trembled at what she said.
"Madam, what you said is scary..."
Li Qingyi smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? Ye Lanyue is a human being, not a ghost. He can't turn into a shadow and float in to harm us. Chang Lan, please find a way to give the third wife some relief and ask her to check on Chen Shuling."
Changlan nodded, "If this were in the capital, we wouldn't need to blow the whistle. We would have found out the person's details before they entered the house!"
*****
After all, the third wife was the principal wife, and she had a few useful people. After a few days of hard work, she finally found out the parentage of Chen Shuling and her daughter.
The issue of cinnabar moles that Li Qingyi is most concerned about has also come to an end.
Chen Shuling has indeed had a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows since she was a child. Neighbors can all prove it. There were also rumors that Chen Shuling must have a good life and might be able to enter the palace and become a queen in the future.
Changlan sneered after hearing this, "Whenever something new happens, it will be reported to the palace. However, this is really a coincidence."
Chang Ning said: "At least we can be sure that Chen Shuling's cinnabar mole is not a deception."
Li Qingyi shook his head, "This incident can only prove that Chen Shuling's cinnabar mole is real."
"Ah? What do you mean, madam? The cinnabar mole is real. Is it possible that Chen Shuling is fake?"
Chang Lan took the lead and said: "What if I saw a cinnabar mole on Chen Shuling's forehead in the middle of the night, so I killed her and pretended to be her? The cinnabar mole is real, and dressing it up would save more worry and effort, but it doesn't rule out that she is pretending to be someone else." .”
Li Qingyi also had a headache, "If you say that, anyone could be lying, such as the outer room, or the maid next to them..."
