The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 764 The best friend of the reborn daughter of the Duke's Mansion (33)

Zhao Jiaheng felt relieved when he saw Yin Caiwei was already chatting with Su Xiangran, and he also wanted to join in the conversation.

But as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Zhou Tianyu coming in with Su Xiangran. Zhao Jiaheng's voice suddenly rose: "Master Zhou, why are you in the Su family's manor?"

That expression looked exactly like that of a cuckolded husband.

Su Xiangran, however, seemed to have not noticed the other person's expression at all, and said, "Brother Zhou came to give me some green plants, it's not a big deal!"

Brother Zhou? As soon as this name came out, Zhao Jiaheng felt uncomfortable all of a sudden.

In all the years I've known her, she either called me the Third Prince or the Third Highness, and never called me "Brother"!

A few years ago, Zhao Jiaheng had teased her for this, but she had never heard him call her "brother".

In the past years, no matter how young she was, her ex-fiancée always observed etiquette and would never call her anything inappropriate.

But now she calls Zhou Tianyu...

"Sister Su seems to be very familiar with Lord Zhou." Yin Caiwei didn't think too much about it. "It seems that you two have similar interests."

Su Xiangran smiled and nodded to Yin Caiwei on the surface, but in fact she was looking at her carefully.

Tsk tsk tsk! They say women are flowers that need to be watered, but looking at the way she is, she seems to have been “climbed” too harshly!

The bags under his eyes were obviously swollen from sleeping, and his sitting posture showed that his waist was uncomfortable. After all, he just turned sixteen, so he was still too young.

It seems like she has put on a lot of powder on her face. I wonder if it’s because she doesn’t look very good.

The most obvious thing is the clothes on Yin Caiwei.

It's obvious at first glance that these are newly purchased ready-made clothes, not tailor-made ones.

Su Xiangran had a good idea.

After Yin Chengye returned home, he announced that Yin Yufei's biological mother was promoted to a co-wife, and ordered the courtyard where Yin Caiwei originally lived to be sealed off.

Although Madam Yin was in the mansion, the person who delivered the message was faster than Yin Chengye, and she already knew the outcome of this matter.

Originally, he had planned to wait for Yin Chengye to come back and then put on a "crying, making a fuss, and threatening to hang" show for him. However, his power as housekeeper was taken away from him before he even saw him, and he was even confined to the small Buddhist temple in the backyard.

"Let me out, I'm the Duke's wife! I want to see the master." Madam Yin banged on the door and cried.

But she only heard an old maid outside saying to her, "Save some energy! Madam, the days ahead will be tough!"

This old lady was a servant of the mother of the previous Duke's wife, Yin Chengye. She has been in charge of guarding this small Buddhist temple since his mother passed away.

Of course, she has another identity. She was originally a person in the palace, sent by the Queen Mother to be by Yin Chengye's mother's side.

Originally, the plan was to wait until Princess Fu'an got married and then ask the other party to help out from time to time to reduce conflicts between her daughter and her mother-in-law.

But in the end, there was no chance to use this hidden move.

Therefore, Mrs. Yin fell into her hands, and her good days were over.

But that’s a story for later. Let’s get back to Yin Caiwei’s food, clothing, housing and transportation in the palace!

When she entered the Third Prince's palace, she was a concubine. Not only did she have a low rank, she also had no dowry and no family to take care of things for her.

It is not difficult to survive in the palace relying on Zhao Jiaheng's favor, but it is a big problem to live a good life.

After all, even Zhao Jiaheng himself was not a favored prince, and because his idea of ​​undermining the Yin family was exposed in advance, many people began to be on guard against him.

Emperor Mingchen even picked a house at random and ordered the Ministry of Rites to draw up the procedures for Zhao Jiaheng to set up his mansion. He also said bluntly: Keep everything simple and move out of the palace within three days.

To be honest, although the house looks okay, it is still too small to be a prince's residence.

Take the eldest prince as an example. When he established his palace, he directly selected a piece of land and built a new palace. The construction of this house alone took more than a year, not to mention the various grand and cumbersome procedures and etiquette.

You must know that the more grand the event is, the more favored the prince will be. The more procedures there are, the more gifts others will have to give.

There are very few people like the Third Prince.

The most important thing is that this matter was handed over to the Ministry of Rites, so Minister Su of the Ministry of Rites would naturally "handle" the emperor's arrangements clearly.

Therefore, these two unlucky guys who had just moved out of the palace were actually very poor.

If Concubine Jing hadn't used up some of her savings to supplement the income, he would have had basically no source of income. After all, the third prince's salary was not high.

Seeing that the small treasury was almost emptied and the emperor rarely came, Concubine Jing really wondered why she had done that in the first place. Why did she make such a fuss when now she had nothing.

Even though Concubine Jing was a concubine and received many rewards on a daily basis, those imperial gifts were all registered and recorded. Not only had they been displayed on a daily basis, but she had to be extremely cautious even in social interactions with them, and it was impossible for her to exchange them for money.

Therefore, Concubine Jing had almost no cash left at this moment.
