The serious expression on Xiao Rui's face also frightened Jiang Wan, but she immediately understood what was going on.

She first sent off the rest of the people in the room, then gave Xiao Rui a calm look.

Originally, Xiao Rui wanted to personally ask about them, but when she thought about how Clove and Xia Yi were both Jiang Wan's people now, she scolded them in front of Jiang Wan. In the eyes of outsiders, it was as if she was making Jiang Wan lose face.

He thought for a moment. The best way would be to let Jiang Wan handle this matter.

So he nodded, got up, and moved to the other side of the main house.

Jiang Wan saw that Xiao Rui had already understood her meaning. She let Lun and Xia Yi stand up and stand by her side, then slowly said: ”Do you two know where your faults lie today?”

Clove and Xia Yi both nodded.

Jiang Wan looked at the two of them with a smile, then looked at Lilac and said, ”Tell me first.”

”I... I shouldn't... ”Burn the talisman within the house …” Clove licked her lips as she stuttered.

Jiang Wan also shook her head in disappointment, before looking at Xia Yi, ”Do you think so as well?”

Xia Yi shook her head, then looked at Jiang Wan and said, ”It's something we shouldn't have done in private.”

Jiang Wan slightly sighed in her heart, thinking that although she brought the cloves herself, there were some things that she couldn't compare to Xia Yi and Lan Yi, who had been serving in the Jin Mansion all year round.

Xia Yi immediately understood the same thing, but Clove never understood what her mistake was.

She looked at Clove and said, ”I presume that the matter that mother Han told you to do originally was not a good thing for you. That's why you wanted to hide it from us, right?”

Clove thought of what her mother had said to her before she came: Big families avoid these things, so be careful when you do things.

She nodded.

When Jiang Wan saw this, she turned her head towards Xia Yi: ”She knows this isn't appropriate, but she's dragging you down to help. Not only did you not tell us, you even secretly helped her stand guard.

Xia Yi stood there without making a sound.

”You two are my servants, my right hand men, my eyes and ears …” Jiang Wan looked at the two of them and said, ”But you two were unwilling to tell me even after receiving the news, and even helped me make the decision on my own accord …” ”In that case, wouldn't I be blind, deaf, and lame?”

Hearing that, Clove turned pale with fright, shaking her head, ”Madam, we definitely didn't have any intention of helping you make the decision. Xia Yi originally wanted to tell you and the Crown Prince about this, but I begged them not to make a sound. I told her that we also did it for the sake of the Lady and the Crown Prince. If you and the Crown Prince knew about it, you wouldn't blame us.

”If you want to punish me, then punish me alone …” ”It really has nothing to do with Xia Yi …” At this point, Lingle kneeled down and kowtowed to Jiang Wan.
