Chapter 387: A Bitter Ploy

Lady Fujin was seriously ill, and Lady Li originally wanted to take charge of the household affairs.

However, with a gesture from Fourth Master, Sister Jiang was dispatched once again.

With Sister Jiang taking over, Lady Li naturally had nothing further to say.

For a while, the household became much quieter. With the female master ill, the others could only keep a low profile.

It was then that Princess Yun Xiu took the initiative to care for the sick. Lady Fujin did not refuse, so Princess Yun Xiu moved into the main courtyard to attend to her daily. This indeed raised her in everyone's esteem.

These days, Fourth Master had no time to visit the inner courtyard.

He was overwhelmed with matters at the imperial court.

Fourth Master was a person with connections. Emperor Kangxi had ordered the Ministry of Justice to conduct a thorough investigation. Although Fourth Master did not have to be investigated, many issues still required a word from him.
