While Chen Yi was talking to Mr. Liu, Chang Youzhong was interrogating people.

Chen Yi said yesterday that her wedding dress was sewn by Valere.

Chang Youzhong now interrogated the two embroiderers who were making the wedding dress, "After you finished making the dress, are you missing anything? For example, needles, beads, buckles, etc."

"Nothing is missing. After making the skirt, I not only inspected it carefully, but also ironed and washed it to make it fit properly before sending it to Chen's house."

According to this theory, the silver needles on the skirt cannot be left over from the Valerian Shop.

Chang Youzhong took the silver needle to Chen's house.

The Chen family was in a panic when they saw him coming to the door, but Mrs. Chen was calmer and said, "I didn't send Yi Yatou's original sedan back yesterday, so I'm not here to call for punishment today."

These words appeased everyone, and Mrs. Chen led them to the main hall to meet the guests.

When Chang Youzhong saw Mrs. Chen, he took out the silver needle without further ado.

Mrs. Chen already knew what happened at the concubinage ceremony yesterday.

You Zhong often comes to the Chen family with silver needles. It seems that the Chen family is responsible for the needle hidden in the skirt.

"Mr. Chang, the Chen family will give the prince a satisfactory answer on this matter," Mrs. Chen said.

Always have a loyal smile, and be neat when dealing with smart people, "as soon as possible."

There was no limit on the number of days, but Mrs. Chen knew that it could only be three days at most, so she smiled and said, "Yes."

The housekeeper who sent Chang Youzhong out gave Chang Youzhong a purse and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir."

Chang Youzhong smiled, stuffed his purse into his sleeve pocket, got on the carriage, and returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites to resume his duties.

In the palace, the concubine asked Qiao about giving porridge during the Laba Festival.

Mrs. Qiao smiled and said: "The rice, pot, and firewood for making porridge are all ready, and the people are also arranged. All we have to do is wait for it to be pulled to the intersection of Yingjiao Street early on the eighth day of the lunar month, but..."

She hesitated to speak, and a mocking smile flashed across Jiang Changning's lips,

"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?" The concubine was displeased.

"The masters of various prefectures who were giving porridge were watching at the stall. I had something to do, so I could only go to the stall for a walk and then came back, which caused a lot of gossip. This year, I wonder if the master of Chun'an County is willing to do it for me.

Shall I share the burden?" Qiao asked with a smile.

Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows. The Qiao family valued power and took the initiative to decentralize power today. There must be a conspiracy here.

Don’t be afraid if there is a conspiracy, the water will come and the earth will cover it up.

Jiang Changning smiled, "Prince Jin's Mansion is offering porridge, so of course I, the Princess of Jin, have to go."

Prince Jin's Mansion, Princess Jin, stabbed Qiao's liver to the point of pain. She gritted her teeth and tightened her jawline.

Then she thought that it was freezing cold and Jiang Changning would definitely be sick if he stayed in the cold for most of the day. She felt happy again.

After the concubine asked some other questions, she sent the two of them away.

After leaving the courtyard, Mrs. Qiao went to the reception hall, while Jiang Changning returned to Rujing Courtyard.

The next morning, Mrs. Chen arrived unexpectedly.

Jiang Changning met her in the Nuan Pavilion upon entering Ruyi Courtyard, "Is Mrs. Chen here here about the silver needle?"

"I found out something, and I think it would be better to tell the princess first," Mrs. Chen said.

"Please speak." Jiang Changning said with a slight smile.

"The person who hid the needles was a rough girl in Yi Yatou's yard. She hated Yi Yatou's biological mother. She sneaked into the room unprepared and stuck two silver needles in her skirt."

"Mrs. Chen, do you think I will believe this statement?"

"I didn't believe it either, but she insisted that she was the one who put the needle. Even after being beaten twenty times, she never changed her story."

"Mrs. Chen, do you mean that I have to accept this statement?" Jiang Changning's voice was slightly cold, and he was already unhappy.

"The princess and Yi Yatou have lived together in the palace for a month. What kind of person do you think Yi Yatou is?" Mrs. Chen asked in return.

Jiang Changning curled his lips and smiled, "Mrs. Chen is her aunt, and she has lived with her for sixteen years. What kind of person does Mrs. Chen think she is?"

"I suspect that she hid the silver needle herself."

"Where's the evidence?"

"No."

"Mrs. Chen, is this the explanation given by the Chen family?" Jiang Changning put the cup in his hand on the table, "Mrs. Chen, please go back. It will snow again soon. The road is slippery and difficult to walk on. Please hurry up

go back."

"This is not an explanation given by the Chen family. It's just my selfishness. I want to be on good terms with the princess, so I came here to remind her." Mrs. Chen sat firmly on her chair without moving.

Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows, "What does Mrs. Chen want to remind me?"

"I have to admit that I was wrong about Chen Yi. She is so good at pretending that I thought I was really capable of controlling her. I didn't expect that she is really capable." Mrs. Chen smiled self-deprecatingly, "How can I be so good at pretending?"

I do so many things under my eyes."

The rough girl was beaten to a bloody pulp and refused to tell the truth, which shows that Chen Yi must have her life under control.

"Do you think she will do something under my nose?"

"Princess, don't you think the silver needle is just a test?"

"Thanks for the reminder." Jiang Changning smiled and picked up the tea cup.

Mrs. Chen stood up and said, "I take my leave."

"Xiulan, send Mrs. Chen out." Jiang Changning said in a loud voice.

Xiulan, who was waiting at the door, opened the curtain and said, "Mrs. Chen, please."

As soon as Mrs. Chen left, Fangju came in and handed the things in her hand to Jiang Changning, "Princess, look at this."

"What?" Jiang Changning took it and saw that it was a house deed for a shop. "Put it down and wait until the prince comes back and ask him what he wants."

When King Jin came back, Jiang Changning handed him the house deed, "Do you want to accept the Chen family's apology?"

"Take it, you don't want to open a rice shop. This shop is in a good location and spacious enough." King Jin said.

"Do you really want to open a rice shop?" Jiang Changning asked in surprise.

"If you don't want to open a rice shop, what do you want to open? A rouge shop? A cloth shop?" King Jin said with a smile.

Jiang Changning thought for a while, he found that the rouge shop was established, and the cloth shop was also opened, "Let's open a rice shop. Yong Zhou should give the rice shop a good name."

"People regard food as their heaven, so they say food is their heaven."

Jiang Changning questioned, "Yong Zhou, don't you think this sounds like the name of a restaurant?"

"A bit, I'll think about it again." King Jin stretched out his right index finger and tapped his head lightly, "How about a drop?"

"A drop in Taicang?"

King Jin smiled, "How about that?"

"The name of the store is very good. I wonder if my husband can write a calligraphy note for me?" Jiang Changning asked with a charming smile.

"Please also ask the princess to help you polish ink for your husband." Prince Jin took her hand.

The couple went to the study, and King Jin wrote the name of the store with a stroke of his pen.

Leave the work of making the plaque to Chang Youzhong.

Leave the matter of tidying up the shop to Chun Lai.

Jiang Changning just sat there and waited while the rice was spread out and the money was collected.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, she wore a thick coat and a lotus-green crane cloak trimmed with gray fox fur. She held a hand warmer and led people to a porridge station at the intersection of Yingjiao Street.

People who were giving porridge at the intersection of Yingjiao Street were not only people from the Prince of Jin's Palace, but also people from other palaces.

Not long after Jiang Changning stopped at the porridge stall, he saw the carriage of Prince Yu's palace.

Zhao Xifang got off the carriage, she also saw Jiang Changning and nodded slightly.

It's a pity that only the soup porridge stall of the Prince of Jin's Palace is here. It would be great if the soup porridge stall of the Ningxia Prince's Palace is also here.

When Princess Jin and Song Yirou meet, it will definitely be a great show.

Seeing that she didn't come over to socialize, Jiang Changning breathed a sigh of relief.
