Chapter 898: Has the Queen recovered her memory?
Aoxue blocked Bai Yuhan's path. Bai Yuhan was startled. She smiled calmly, "Why are you here, Miss Aoxue?"
"Then I have to ask why Sister Yuhan is here." Jiang Fenghua's figure appeared.
Bai Yuhan was stunned. She had seen the queen just now, but she didn't dare to show up.
She pretended to know nothing and suddenly became very friendly. She stepped forward and took Jiang Fenghua's arm, with a sweet smile on her face: "Mr. Ruan, long time no see."
Jiang Fenghua stared at her hand. Bai Yuhan tactfully put it down and bowed respectfully: "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."
Jiang Fenghua said calmly, "Tell me, what's going on with that gift box?"
"Your Majesty knows." Bai Yuhan was stunned.
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Tell me, what's going on." She guessed that it was related to Helan Yanran, but she didn't guess how it was related to Bai Yuhan, so she asked Aoxue to stop Bai Yuhan.
Bai Yuhan looked around and saw that the place was guarded by the Queen's men. Then she leaned close to Jiang Fenghua's ear and whispered, "Just now, I saw Concubine Lan's mother holding a box and trying to enter the Shang Mansion. There was blood in it, so I followed her quietly. But I found that she was a little stupid and was almost stopped and discovered by the Shang family's servants. I thought her daughter had just died and she was unconscious. I couldn't bear to see her caught, so I took the initiative to help her. I was just curious at first and didn't expect that thing to be in the box."
After hearing what Bai Yuhan said, Jiang Fenghua realized that it was Madam Helan: "You are so kind."
If Lady Helan was caught while delivering the dead baby, Shengjing City would be in for a commotion.
She continued, "How did the gift box end up in Young Master Shang's hands? He even gave it to the bride."
Bai Yuhan's lips curled up into a wicked smile. "Then you'll have to ask the child's wet nurse. I don't know why Concubine Lan's mother sent such a gift to the Shang family, but I know that Young Master Shang's wet nurse couldn't stand the fact that he was marrying a new wife. She even cursed Shang Hong, and Madam Helan and I happened to hear it. It seemed like she was saying that Young Master Shang was a heartless man."
Bai Yuhan was at a loss for words. It was like saying that Shang Hong was the wet nurse's lover, but they just had sex and slept with her, and Shang Hong was irresponsible.
She said, "Businesses are so chaotic. I didn't expect such a wealthy family to be so chaotic."
Jiang Fenghua teased her: "Also..."
Bai Yuhan had a forced smile on his face, feeling only embarrassed. In fact, the Bai family was also quite messy. There were many dirty things going on in the aristocratic families, but everyone kept a bright and beautiful appearance.
Bai Yuhan originally wanted to ask Madam Helan to mix the gift box in with the presents, but the merchant manager had to register and record every gift, and even open them one by one to look at them. They had no chance at all, so they thought of asking the wet nurse to bring it in. Unexpectedly, the wet nurse also had her own ideas and directly let a little boy bring it in and give it to the bride, and the little boy also listened to the wet nurse.
Shang Hong's original wife died early and the child was still young, so he was raised by a wet nurse. The child regarded the wet nurse as his own mother and naturally listened to her out of affection.
Jiang Fenghua thought about the appearance of the wet nurse just now. She was very pretty. A woman in her twenties or twenty-five years old who could work as a wet nurse in a wealthy family must have given birth to a child and had a husband.
A sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, and she didn't know whether Shang Hong was attracted by her beauty or the wet nurse was also trying to seduce her.
Jiang Fenghua saw that she was frowning, "You are still afraid of that thing."
"Who wouldn't be scared? This is the first time I've seen such a tiny dead baby. I've never seen a child this small before. It's horrifying. I thought Madam Helan was going to use it to take revenge on the Empress. She was so aggressive in the Li Mansion back then. It gives me a headache just thinking about it. What does her daughter's death have to do with the Empress? If anyone is to blame, blame her daughter for this misfortune. It's her daughter's short life."
Jiang Fenghua felt warm in her heart, "So you thought she wanted to harm me, and you stopped her to help me. Were you also present when the Li family held the funeral?"
Bai Yuhan said: "I didn't dare show up, thinking it's better to have less trouble than more."
Jiang Fenghua knew that her experience of entering the palace to serve as Concubine Han was indeed quite dramatic. Things almost got out of hand at the gate of the palace. If she appeared in such an occasion again, she was afraid that something would happen again.
She said, "It was the Emperor's inconsiderateness that caused you trouble in the palace."
Bai Yuhan asked doubtfully, "Has the Madam recovered her memory?"
Jiang Fenghua quickly said, "No, the emperor told me these things personally."
Bai Yuhan had been wanting to talk things over with Jiang Fenghua. She lowered her voice and said, "Actually, there's something I've always wanted to tell the Empress, but I never had the chance."
Jiang Fenghua asked knowingly: "What's the matter?"
Bai Yuhan thought about what Xiao Yu had said to her, but the Queen seemed to be unaware of it. She asked, "Didn't Her Majesty ask Lord Xiao to come to Yuhan and ask me to help find the hiding place of the men in black?"
Jiang Fenghua frowned slightly and shook her head: "It's not me. I didn't ask Xiao Yu to find you." At this time, she already knew who asked Xiao Yu to find Bai Yuhan under her name.
Bai Yuhan was also dumbfounded, "If it's not the Empress, then who could it be?"
She was quite clear-headed and quick-witted. The only person who could get Minister Xiao to do something was the Emperor. But why did the Emperor use the Empress's name? Was it because she knew the Empress?
Jiang Fenghua had a calm expression. She felt no emotion when she heard the news. She came to Bai Yuhan for help. The identity of the queen was indeed better.
But he could tell her openly that he sent Xiao Yu to find Bai Yuhan. He shouldn't be trying to avoid suspicion with "Han Fei".
"How is the relationship between the Empress and the Emperor after she returned to the palace?" Bai Yuhan asked tentatively.
Jiang Fenghua smiled calmly, "When he chased me to the Southern Kingdom, you saw his attitude. After returning to the palace, he is still the same. The emperor treats me very well."
Bai Yuhan knew that the truth behind Jiang Fenghua's departure from the palace was that their relationship was not good, so Lin Yu...
Jiang Fenghua asked again: "Has the Bai family now defected to the Northern Xiao Kingdom?"
Bai Yuhan said, "I am also worried about this matter now, but what makes me even more sad is that my mother is now being coaxed around by Qin Yunyan. Now they act like real mother and daughter. She brings an outsider to such an occasion instead of bringing me, her biological daughter. Qin Yunyan now has the final say in the Bai family, and even my father listens to her.
"Your Highness and Lin Yu know the Bai family, right? They've always been honest businessmen, but how could they have become like this? The Bai family isn't short of money, so there's really no need for father to get involved with the Northern Owl Kingdom and do something that would be treasonous."
Jiang Fenghua listened to her quietly, "So, you are against the Bai family's collusion with the Beixiao Kingdom."
"The Bai family is living a comfortable life now. Why do they want to wade into the muddy water of Beixiao Country? Yuhan is puzzled. It seems that my father is also stubborn and unwilling to listen to anyone's opinions." Bai Yuhan was actually very worried.
