After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Chapter 148: Imperial Reward

Nanny Lin knew that Ye Qingyu would not come here for no reason, and she must have something to say. "Yes, please wait a moment, young lady."

Nanny Lin stood up, and Mingyue hurried forward to support her. She went into the room and came out after a while with an exquisite porcelain jar in her hand.

"This is the agarwood that the young lady used to use. There's still half a jar left."

Ye Qingyu took it, opened the jar, and a refreshing and elegant orchid fragrance hit her nose.

Ye Qingyu doesn't use incense and doesn't know much about spices, but she doesn't remember that the incense her mother lit here had such a strong orchid scent.

"Mammy, smell it, is this the smell?"

Nanny Lin glanced at Ye Qingyu in surprise, "Young lady, this spice has been stored for three years, it shouldn't have any smell. Hmm? This incense actually still has a smell, that's not right!"

Nanny Lin's expression turned serious. "This agarwood has a faint orchid scent, but it shouldn't be this strong. Could it be that the orchid scent becomes stronger after being stored for a long time?"

Ye Qingyu's expression was cold, "That's right."

Nanny Lin looked at Ye Qingyu in confusion. Ye Qingyu asked, "Nanny, do you still remember which maid was in charge of mother's spices?"

Nanny Lin's expression also changed. "Which of the two maids, Meixiang or Shuiyue, is on night duty that night? They will light incense before the young lady goes to bed before leaving the inner room."

"Young lady, is there something wrong with this spice?" Nanny Lin's expression turned much paler. "Could it be that Meixiang and Shuiyue are trying to harm you?"

Ye Qingyu shook her head, "No, it's not them."

Meixiang and Shuiyue sisters grew up with their mother since childhood and are extremely loyal to her. No one can bribe them.

Nanny Lin's voice was filled with hatred. "Who could that be? The young lady is such a good person, who on earth would dare to betray her?"

Nanny Lin suddenly thought of something. "Oh, this incense was bought at Baixiangzhai in Kyoto. Could it be that someone there wants to harm the young lady?"

Ye Qingyu shook her head. "Bai Xiang Zhai is in the spice business with the wealthy and powerful families in Kyoto City. If they dare to mix something they shouldn't have into the spices, Bai Xiang Zhai will have no chance of surviving in Kyoto City!"

Ye Qingyu asked, "Madam, do you still remember who bought this spice?"

Since the spice shop didn't dare to tamper with the incense, Meixiang and Shuiyue, who were responsible for lighting the incense, could not have betrayed their mother. The only problem was that something went wrong when the spices were delivered to Luoxiaju.

Nanny Lin thought for a long time, then suddenly spoke, "It's Aunt Chen! She usually does all the errands, and these spices are one of them!"

She gnashed her teeth in hatred, "Asshole! If it's really her, she deserves to be struck by lightning. If it weren't for the young lady's pity for her, she would have done something wrong to the old lady and was almost sold out by her. If it weren't for the young lady, she would be dead!"

No wonder, it turned out that it was someone that Old Madam Ye had planted in Luoxia Residence!

"It's good to know who it is. Don't worry, she can't get away. I will make sure that those who hurt my mother will die!"

Nanny Lin looked at Ye Qingyu with tears in her eyes, "Young lady, do you know who harmed the eldest lady?"

Ye Qingyu soothed him gently, "Take good care of yourself. It won't be long before I send those people to see mother. You'll know what's going on then."

Nanny Lin looked at Ye Qingyu with relief. "I haven't seen you for half a year. The young lady has really grown up. She is more decisive and efficient than the eldest lady. This is good. I won't suffer any loss this way."

At this moment, Wanqiu suddenly came running over, "Miss, Miss, great news! Someone has arrived from the Duke's Mansion. The Emperor has appointed the eldest master as a first-rank general protecting the country! And the eldest son as a general supporting the country! The imperial edict has even been sent to the Duke's Mansion!"

Ye Qingyu's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled brightly, "Oh, it's really a happy event."

Nanny Lin laughed happily, "That's great, the eldest young master is so promising!"

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "Yes, Mammy, it has been many years since we returned to the Duke's Mansion. Come with me to congratulate my uncle."

Nanny Lin waved her hands in panic, "No, no! I'm just a servant, how could I have the qualifications to see the eldest young master? What's more, it was me who failed to take good care of the young lady, and that's why she was harmed by the treacherous people! I have no face to return to the Duke's Mansion, let alone to see the masters of the Duke's Mansion."

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "Why is it impossible? You have devoted yourself to mother and have stayed in this courtyard for her all these years. Don't refuse. Today, I will take you and Nanny Liang back to celebrate with my uncle!"

Ye Qingyu made the decision, and Wanqiu hurried to arrange a carriage to go to Wanyan Pavilion to pick up Nanny Liang.

Nanny Liang often went to Luoxiaju to visit Nanny Lin. The two old ladies were very close. "Old sister, you are finally willing to leave Luoxiaju."

Nanny Lin held Nanny Liang's hand and sighed, "It was the young lady who wanted to take me to the Duke's Mansion. The young lady has really grown up. She is calm and efficient in her actions, and doesn't seem like a fourteen-year-old girl."

Nanny Liang saw all of Ye Qingyu's changes and said, "Yes, the young lady has really grown up. A lot has happened in the past six months. The young lady is no longer the weak and vulnerable child. Now, she is engaged to His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu and will be the Prince of Chu in the future."

Nanny Lin looked at the slender figure in front of her, which was full of trust and reassurance. "If the young lady knew how outstanding the young lady is now, she would be so relieved."

Thinking of the young lady's death, a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes, but she quickly hid it. The young lady had instructed that this matter should not be known to anyone, and she could not show any abnormality.

Nanny Liang nodded in agreement. "Yes, the young lady is now capable of handling everything on her own. Even if she marries into the complicated royal family, we can feel more at ease. Besides, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu really values ​​the young lady."

The two old maids were talking to each other as they were helped into the carriage by their maids. Ye Qingyu and Wanqiu got into another one, and Mo Shu stayed at Luoxiaju to guard it.

The side hall of the Duke's Mansion was already full of people. When Ye Qingyu arrived, she smiled and congratulated her uncle, "Congratulations, uncle, congratulations, aunt, and cousin-in-law!"

Gu Changyun laughed heartily, "You are finally here, little girl. Your grandfather has been talking about you for a long time."

Jiang looked at Ye Qingyu with a smile on her face. "Qingqing, we all know that your uncle and cousin's promotions this time are all due to you. Thank you, aunt."

Ye Qingyu smiled brightly and generously, "Aunt, you are wrong. This credit has nothing to do with me. It was earned by my uncle and cousin's victory after victory."

She changed the subject and brought Nanny Lin and Nanny Liang forward, "Uncle, Grandfather, do you still remember Nanny Lin and Nanny Liang? They heard that Uncle was named General Guardian of the Nation, and they came to congratulate you."
