There was never a shortage of things in the room. Qingbi and Bailu searched the dressing table inside and out but couldn't find it.
An Qi'en was afraid that he would be delayed in greeting Mrs. Qiao, so he didn't look for her any further.
She hurriedly put on makeup to improve her complexion and went to Anhe Hall.
After saying hello to Mrs. Qiao and just chatting about home affairs, Qiao Jianghong came.
Old Mrs. Qiao was sitting on the front seat, and Mother Wu was fanning her with a round fan.
An Qien sat on the seat on the side in a polite manner.
"My grandson wishes to greet my grandma. The weather is hot, so grandma should drink more summer soup." Qiao Jianghong bowed.
Mother Wu smiled and said, "The old lady makes summer soup three times a day. The prince should also take more care of himself."
Qiao Jianghong sat down next to An Qien, with a small square table between them.
An Qi'en smelled the familiar scent of rouge. This scent was very special, with jasmine as the main scent.
Except for her, no other female family member in this house has the smell of rouge.
An Qi'en guessed in his heart that Qiao Jianghong, a man, would definitely not use women's things.
This thing was radiated from his body.
This shows who has this thing.
Old Mrs. Qiao said kindly, "Jiang Hong, you are in good health now, and Qi En is also taking care of himself. The matter of the heirs of the Hou family is a big deal, you must take it to heart."
Qiao Jianghong glanced at An Qien, who had a pale face, and replied humbly, "Yes."
When Mrs. Qiao saw that An Qien didn't express her position, she stared at her, "Qien, during these days, you don't have to worry about anything, just keep this top priority in mind."
"Back to grandma, Qi En has been unwell these days and needs to be recuperated for a while. The children of the Qiao family are of great importance. As the head mother of the family, I should treat this matter as a top priority, but my health does not allow it."
"The two maids who have served the prince recently are doing their best to serve the prince. The prince's face is red and glowing. If it is green and pear, there will be joy first, and it will also be a great joy for the Hou family."
Mrs. Qiao felt very comforted. It was best for An Qien to think so.
She smiled and said, "If that bitch is restless, just send him out. If he keeps his peace, he can stay by Jiang Hong's side."
This is just what the old lady said. She also said the same thing in her previous life.
Later, didn't he follow Qiao Jianghong's doting on Shen Shuli, doting on his concubine and destroying his wife step by step?
An Qien just listened casually.
After coming out of Anhe Hall, An Qien returned to Qiushui Residence with his maid Qingbi behind him.
As soon as I came back and sat down to rest, Qingbi made a pot of cold tea and served it with both hands.
Bai Lu hurriedly wiped the sweat from her forehead and said angrily, "Madam, do you know whose house that Jasmine Rouge is?"
Qingbi wondered, "Who stole it? Are you too impatient to dare to steal something from the mistress?"
An Qien said calmly, "Is that Shen Shuli?"
Bai Lu opened her eyes in surprise and asked in disbelief, "Madam, how did you know?"
"When I was paying my respects to my grandmother, I smelled it on the Crown Prince." An Qi'en calmly took a sip of tea.
Qingbi was furious, "That little bitch dared to steal my wife's things. According to the rules of the Marquis Mansion, she will be punished."
Bai Lu said unfairly, "Madam, I must teach this bitch a lesson for stealing your things after just a few days here."
Qingbi, "Everyone has stolen it, so don't talk about it."
The two maids were indignant, but An Qien was much calmer, as if she didn't care at all.
Bai Lu was worried in her heart, "Madam, are you just going to let her go like this? What she stole was the rouge that your favorite Madam Liu gave you as a birthday gift."
Qingbi was so angry that she couldn't control her temper, "Madam, I'll go get that bitch right away!"
"Stand." An Qi'en stopped him.
Qingbi didn't know why his wife could sit still so much, and she felt breathless and calmed down.
An Qi'en said, "If she stole the thing, she wouldn't use it blatantly."
Bai Lu suddenly realized, "Madam, are you saying that the thing was given to her by the Crown Prince?"
"Other than the maid next to me, only the prince can enter Qiushui Residence. No matter how stupid she is when she first arrives, she will not steal anything."
An Qien took a sip of tea, her expression was calm, but her eyes were firm.
Qingbi became even more angry and said angrily, "This little bitch bullied you as soon as she came here. She must have encouraged the prince to take it. I really want to tear her face apart."
Bai Lu, "How could the prince take your things and send them away without saying a word? He also took your most precious things. He really doesn't regard you as his mistress."
"Okay, I'm not even angry, so why are you angry?" An Qien looked at the two maids whose faces were red with anger and smiled lightly.
Qingbi felt extremely uncomfortable, "Madam, she is provoking you. Although you are not your aunt's mother in An Mansion, you have never suffered such grievances. I feel sorry for you."
An Qien held Qingbi's hand to comfort her, "You are getting more and more impatient. So what if you beat her now?"
"After all, this thing was given to her by the prince. Only the three of us know how valuable this rouge is. If I beat her up because of this, I won't be known as jealous and stingy."
Qingbi suddenly realized, "But madam, are we just pretending not to know?"
Bai Lu, "What the madam said is a big deal to us, but in the eyes of the prince, the old madam is just a rouge. She is just a slave. Even if she becomes a concubine in the future, she still has to be humble in front of our madam. No. I have no chance to control this bitch."
An Qien smiled lightly, "The mung bean crystal cake made in the small kitchen today is pretty good. Come on, let's go to the small kitchen and have a look."
When the two maids heard that there was something delicious to eat, they instantly became happy.
Within two days, Shen Shuli's face was swollen like a pig's head, with large patches of red rash.
She scratched when it itched, and the more she scratched, the more itchy and red and swollen her face became.
In the end she was rolling on the ground in a frenzy.
It happened that Qiao Jianghong was out of town for something and was not in the house.
Shen Shuli was a maid, no one cared about her even if she was itching to death.
Qingcui felt proud when she saw her rolling all over the floor in itch, and it was impossible to help her.
Although she had only been here for a few days, she charmed the prince every day and was a pleasure every night.
In the past, this was her only favor, but now that someone had robbed her of it, it was rare for her to express such resentment.
Mother Wu was passing by accidentally, heard screams coming from the house, went in to check, and saved Shen Shuli's life.
Mother Wu invited a doctor and prescribed medicine, which relieved the itching but not the swelling.
Shen Shuli's face was swollen like a pig's head. She covered it with a veil so that it was difficult to show anyone.
When Qiao Jianghong came back and learned of this situation, he was very worried and asked the doctor urgently, "Doctor, when will the swelling in this face subside?"
The doctor said, "Your Majesty, the girl's allergy is not an ordinary allergy, it is a rouge allergy. I heard from the girl that she had been using this rouge for a few days and it only started to show up today. It must have happened slowly. I don't know the ingredients of rouge, so I can only prescribe it to relieve itching." The medicine relieves the itching, and it will probably take about a month for it to subside. If you want to go faster, you need to know the ingredients of this rouge."
Qiao Jianghong ordered the maid without even thinking, "Go and invite Madam."
