Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Now, if Princess Yonghe's cousin is asked to serve Princess Yonghe as a servant, Princess Yonghe's biological mother, the concubine, will definitely be the first one to disagree. After all, how could she let her niece from her mother's side serve as a servant in the palace? The other concubines of Prince An in the palace would laugh at her. You have to know that she is the concubine of a prince in the palace. Not only did she not bring her mother's family members with her, but she also asked them to be servants in the palace. Wouldn't others laugh at her?

Secondly, Princess Yonghe's maternal family would never agree to it. After all, their family had become rich, but they were still serving as servants. How could they live in poverty if the news got out?

Seeing that they were unwilling, Concubine An said coldly: "How can we do that? You are still unwilling! I tell you, even if you are willing, I dare not guarantee that this operation can be concealed from the palace. If it can't be concealed, you will be dead, and even the whole palace will be implicated. It has come to this point, and you still think you have a choice? All of us have no choice, we all have to resign ourselves to fate! This is the trouble you have caused!"

"Besides, if we really want to talk about it, you are not Yonghe's cousin at all. Her real cousin is my niece from my mother's side!"

In ancient times, the maiden family of a concubine could not be considered as relatives. The children of a concubine, their maternal family is the wife's maternal family. In the case of Prince An's Mansion, the cousin of Princess Yonghe is indeed the niece of Concubine An's maternal family.

However, legal principles are legal principles, and human relations are human relations. In reality, some of the concubine's family members will also address the concubine's children as relatives. Most people will not say it directly like Concubine An did now.

So when Concubine An said it so clearly, Princess Yonghe and her cousin couldn't help but blush, and they were obviously embarrassed by what Concubine An said.

Princess Yonghe was better off. Her cousin really felt despised and looked down upon by Concubine An. She was particularly embarrassed and thought bitterly in her heart, "You are an ancient old woman who has no dignity and is the property of your husband. What is there to be proud of? Do you know the Internet? Do you know mobile games? Do you know mobile phones? How dare you look down on me, a modern person? I look down on you who know nothing!"
Although Princess Yonghe and her cousin were angered by Concubine An's words, Concubine An's words made sense. They really didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so they agreed to let their cousin sell herself to Princess Yonghe.

In fact, Concubine An did not humiliate the cousin of Princess Yonghe by making her a maid. Not to mention the current situation, she had to be a maid. Even if this did not happen, it would not be a shameful thing for a girl in the family to become the concubine of the master of the mansion and for the family members to continue to work as servants in the mansion. In fact, many families in the capital had such situations. For example, the family of Aunt Zhao in "Dream of Red Mansions" still worked as servants in the Jia Mansion, and she did not feel embarrassed.

This is mainly because it was difficult for common people to survive in ancient times, and they could often live better by relying on wealthy and powerful families.

Concubine An immediately ordered someone to write a contract of sale and asked the cousin of Princess Yonghe to put her fingerprints and signature on it.

Princess Yonghe's cousin was naturally unwilling to do it, but even Princess Yonghe begged her to do it quickly, fearing that the palace would send someone to investigate.

Surrounded by people from Prince An's mansion, Princess Yonghe's cousin did not dare to resist at all and had to sign the contract of selling herself reluctantly.

She thought that this indenture contract was only temporary and was meant to fool the palace, so she signed it. She thought that she and Princess Yonghe were cousins, and that after this matter was over, she could just cancel the indenture contract, which was not difficult.

Concubine Dowager An immediately sent the maid that Princess Yonghe pretended to be to the farm overnight and changed her name. She also dressed up Princess Yonghe's cousin as a maid and asked Princess Yonghe to tell everyone in her courtyard that this was XXX (the maid's name). Anyway, that was what was written on the indenture, so just because someone else called her by that name, Princess Yonghe's cousin could not be called by that name either.

Although this was done with many loopholes, as long as the An Wangfu insisted, the cousin of the Yonghe County Lord was now the Yonghe County Lord's maid, and she had just taken the position and had just been given the name, the palace could not say that she was no longer the Yonghe County Lord's maid, and she was not called that name. Anyway, according to the rules, it was fine. When these things were done, both the An Wangfei and the An Wang were on the scene - the An Taifei asked them to do other things, but they insisted on staying here, just to see if what the An Taifei did was feasible. If not, they had to find another way to see how to fool this matter.

Then, after seeing Concubine Dowager An's operation, she felt that this method was good. Although it was full of loopholes, as long as they insisted that the cousin was the maid of Princess Yonghe and called her by that name, they could not be said to be guilty of deceiving the emperor. After all, who stipulated that Princess Yonghe's cousin could not be her servant, who stipulated that newly recruited people could not be brought into the palace, who stipulated that she could not be called by that name? As long as Prince An's Mansion insisted on this point, and at the same time, as long as Concubine Wang did not get into trouble, there should be no big problem.

Of course, if Concubine Wang was gone and the emperor was furious, it would be impossible to fool him like this, and something might happen. So the most important thing now is to know the situation in the palace.

So after finishing these things, Concubine Dowager An, Princess An and others did not go to sleep, but continued to stay up late, asking people in the mansion to go to the palace again and again to inquire about the situation and see if Concubine Wang was okay.

When it was dawn, news came from the palace that Concubine Wang was out of danger. This made Concubine An and others pray in unison, "Buddha bless you."

Soon after, the palace began to investigate the situation of the guests from each family last night.

Before, Concubine Wang was in danger and the emperor was anxious and had no mood to investigate the matter. Now that Concubine Wang is out of danger, the emperor will naturally investigate who harmed Concubine Wang.

Although the emperor had sent people to investigate before, he did not devote his full attention to it. Now that he was in the mood, he naturally devoted all his attention to it and conducted a thorough investigation.

Naturally, some people came to Prince An's Mansion to investigate. The people in Prince An's Mansion were a little nervous, fearing that these people would cause trouble.

As a result, just as the people from the Ministry of Punishment were investigating, a guard came to report that the murderer had been found.

So the people from the Ministry of Punishment hastily recorded the situation in Prince An’s mansion and took his people away.

No one continued to investigate the matter afterwards, which made the people in Prince An's mansion celebrate, thinking that they had escaped a disaster.

Actually, although the murderer was found, the emperor still sent people to continue investigating some families, but did not continue to investigate Prince An's Mansion. Linlang pondered, probably because Prince An's Mansion had close relations and did not have much contact with the concubines and princes in the palace - mainly because of the three years of mourning, and Concubine An and others felt that they were a prince's mansion, and as long as they did not get involved in the struggle for the throne, they would be able to maintain their wealth and glory in the future, so there was no need to get involved. So they just hid at home to mourn and never asked about the affairs of the palace - the emperor did not make any special investigation and did not find out about the affair between Princess Yonghe and her cousin.

Otherwise, even if the murderer behind Concubine Wang's accident has been found, the emperor doesn't like some families competing for the throne and will continue to make trouble for them. This is why other families are still investigating, but Prince An's Mansion has not done much. (End of this chapter)
