After the marriage, my husband's family listened to my voice and turned the tide

Ke Xin glanced at her and said, "Are you going to meet the future Fourth Prince's wife at this time?"

Shang Tingli smiled awkwardly: "It's just a guess."

[Don't worry, this is not impossible. Do you think your master is a kind and noble person? ]

[He is definitely capable of doing something like looking at someone during the mourning period. If nothing else, he is really not afraid of death.]

Shang Tingli pondered in his heart.

In her opinion, Chunchibin was definitely not a safe place, at least not today. Unlike the Fourth Prince, the Crown Prince had already chosen a Crown Princess, and although it was also a period of mourning, as long as it was not out of line, he could bring the Crown Princess here to fly kites.

The chances of a collision are too high.

But for her, it was a good thing that she ran into him, as the Crown Prince could just get hold of something against the Fourth Prince.

Ke Xin didn't respond, but gave Du Heng a look.

Du Heng clasped his fists and stepped back.

Shang Tingli watched this scene silently.

[Does he want Du Heng to go back and find out what happened? Or does he want Du Heng to go back and remind him?]

Regardless of whether it was what she thought or not, Ke Xin could not answer her.

It was already 3 p.m. when they returned to the mansion. After Shang Tingli drank the last half bowl of chrysanthemum wine poured by Ke Xin, he went to the west room, while Ke Xin went to the study.

In the study, Ke Xin asked Chang Di to do something. Not long after, Gan Tang knocked on the door of the west room.

Shang Tingli was worrying over a blank piece of paper. When he heard the noise, he said weakly, "Come in."

Gan Tang pushed the door open and walked in, bending her knees. Her face was slightly irritated. She suppressed her anger and shouted, "Crown Princess."

Shang Tingli asked, "What made you angry?"

Gan Tang replied: "It's still Miss Lingling!"

"What happened to her?"

"Do you know what Miss Lingling did at the sachet stand today?"

Gan Tang became more and more angry as she spoke: "How dare she instigate the Second Young Master Liang to commit treason against you! She even boasted that she could get things done for the Second Young Master Liang, and even talked nonsense about making room for you! I think Miss Lingling is really wishful thinking and is seriously ill!"

These were the words Chang Di had just told her.

At that time, she and Fang Zhi did not hear the conversation between Yu Lingling and Liang Yu. It was only when Liang Yu slapped Yu Lingling so loudly that they realized the two were there.

I never thought that there was such a dirty mind hidden behind it.

If they really succeed, what will happen to the Crown Prince's Consort?

I am afraid that if the truth is revealed, outsiders will only think that it is the Crown Prince's Consort who is doing something behind the Crown Prince's back, rather than that they are being framed by villains. In this way, what kind of people will they be? How can they gain a foothold and convince others?

What a vicious idea.

"There is also this one." Shang Tingli said in a calm tone with a smile on his lips, and his expression did not reveal his joy or anger.

Gan Tang was still furious: "Madam Hou has done so many ugly things, and now she has finally done something decent and good."

She now felt even more that Yu Lingling deserved to be paired with Liang Yu.

People with such evil intentions should not harm good families, but should just get together with the second young master Liang.

"I understand, please go out first."

Shang Tingli waved his hand and sent Gan Tang away.

She was the only one in the west room.

"Yu Lingling."

Shang Tingli wrote these three words on the paper and added another sentence on the side. She whispered: "As the saying goes, I will not offend others unless they offend me."

She originally thought that she had never suffered any loss when she fought with Yu Lingling in the past. Yu Lingling had once taken advantage of her, and she had also returned the favor by not helping her. They should be able to write it off and live their own lives from now on, each with their own path, good or bad.

Unexpectedly, Yu Lingling was unwilling.

……

Time passed quickly. After an hour, it was the middle of the night and it was time for dinner.

Du Heng came back from outside and entered Ke Xin's study.

"Master, I have secretly observed that the Fourth Prince should have made an appointment with a woman at the Spring Pond. The two of them were flying kites together..."

"Get to the point." Ke Xin said.

"...Yes." Du Heng then picked out the key points to report, "The Fourth Prince and that young lady behaved quite intimately. Later, I secretly followed them and found that the Fourth Prince sent the young lady to the residence of the Minister of the Imperial Household."

"Go to the East Palace and tell the Crown Prince about this."

"Yes."

Du Heng clasped his fists, bowed, and left the study.

Ke Xin placed his hand on the table, tapping it lightly with his fingertips. "The Bai family, the Minister of the Imperial Household Department..."

"Knock Knock Knock-"

There was a knock on the door.

Ke Xin collected his thoughts and said calmly, "Come in."

The visitor just pushed the door open and did not go into the house. "It's time for dinner."

Ke Xin turned his head and looked over.

It was his Crown Prince's Consort who loved to act like a good child. She was standing at the door, smiling sweetly at him.

A beautiful woman’s smile is so charming and stunning.

He couldn't deny that his young lady was very beautiful. After all, even someone like Ke Ming who only wanted that position would be attracted to her at first sight.

Ke Xin said expressionlessly, "I understand."

"okay."

Shang Tingli responded obediently, then turned his back and walked out.

[I came to invite you to dinner with good intentions, but why are you putting on such a deadpan face? I really owe you.]

Ke Xin: “……?”

……

The rain is fine on the parasol trees. It gradually drips like the sound of autumn, and is broken by the wind. Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of January again.

On October 28, Yu Lingling was getting married. Shang Tingli brought a dowry gift to the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion. She thought that it would be more interesting to personally deliver the gift she had specially prepared.

In Yu Lingling's boudoir, all the daughters sat together and presented their dowry gifts one by one.

In addition to Shang Tingli, Yu Lanxi and the sisters in the mansion, those who came to add makeup today included several girls who were good friends with Yu Lingling in the past.

When Shang Tingli presented the dowry gift, Yu Lanxi watched from the side. She deliberately asked, "I wonder what cousin Tingli prepared for my second sister?"

Shang Tingli glanced at her.

No matter what, they are cousins ​​from the same mansion. Is there anything to be proud of in front of outsiders to embarrass her? It's just this pig brain, I don't know how it grows. Sure enough, rebirth can't make a fool smart.

Yu Lingling seemed to be trying to smooth things over for Shang Tingli by saying, "Of course the gift from cousin Tingli is a good one."

"Of course I know, I just wanted to take a look." Yu Lanxi held the handkerchief and looked at Shang Tingli, "I guess my cousin wouldn't be so stingy, right?"

"Lan Xi wants to see it?"

Shang Tingli raised his lips and smiled: "Then take a look." He said to Yu Lingling: "Cousin Lingling, why don't you open it and take a look?"

Yu Lingling opened the wooden box in her hand without hesitation. Inside lay a gilded, jade-inlaid, pearl-adorned lily-of-the-valley tasseled hairpin. At the bottom of the tassel hung three small wine jars carved from jade.

Wine jar?

Her hands shook and she almost knocked over the wooden box.

Yu Lingling stared at the three jade wine jars, her eyes gradually turning blood red and her hatred surging.

She did it on purpose.

"Does cousin Lingling like it?" Shang Tingli asked with a smile on his face.

Yu Lingling's heart suddenly felt cold. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was smiling. The scary expression she had when she lowered her head was no longer visible, but she was forcing a smile: "Thank you for your courtesy, cousin. I like it very much."

Shang Tingli said in a pleasant manner, "As long as cousin Lingling likes it, I'll be relieved. After all, I drew the pattern myself and specially asked someone to make it for me."

The smile on Yu Lingling's lips froze.

She held the wooden box forward so that everyone could see it clearly, "This is the dowry gift my cousin Tingli gave me."

There are gold, jade and pearls, with nice patterns and custom-made. This dowry gift is quite good.

One of the young ladies laughed and said, "Lingling, you are so lucky. It's special to have a cousin who is the Crown Prince's Consort. Look how generous they are." There was envy in their words.

Yu Lingling pretended to be happy and smiled, but did not respond.

Yu Lanxi, on the other hand, uttered a "huh" and curled her lips: "I thought my cousin Tingli was very generous, why is there only one hairpin?"

Shang Tingli remained calm and said, "So, cousin Lan Xi's dowry gift is very valuable?"

Yu Lanxi said confidently: "That's not the case, but I thought my cousin is now the Crown Prince's Consort, so she must be very generous."

After saying that, she shook her head and said disappointedly: "It's just like that."

She dared to say this, but no one dared to respond.

If someone is willing to expose their own shame, she doesn't mind. She just listens to the etiquette and smiles: "How else can I say it? Cousin Lan Xi married into the Ji family, but you didn't seem to change your mind. Why, just because I married into the Ren Prince's mansion as the Crown Prince's Consort, should I be the one who got sucked in?"

Yu Lanxi couldn't help but jump up and down.

"What do you mean by that?"

Shang Tingli smiled sarcastically: "It's not that she is incompatible with the Ji family. Look at cousin Lan Xi right now. She can't even understand what people are saying."

Yu Lanxi was so angry that she slammed the table and said angrily: "Shang Tingli——"

She had always been used to being rampant in the mansion, and all the sisters in the family kept their heads down and played dumb, with no one daring to say anything.

The few people who came to add makeup to Yu Lingling dared not speak. The ladies who were willing to befriend Yu Lingling were all from families that were not as good as hers, and their families were not as good as the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion.

As for Yu Lingling, in the past, the three of them always loved to quarrel, each quarreling on their own, and no one would try to stop them. In this situation, she naturally didn't say much.

Yu Lingling had a cold expression on her face.

When it comes to verbal fights, Yu Lanxi is the worst. Every time she loses an argument, she either slams the table or throws the cup, yelling and screaming like a mad woman. How can she be the image of a legitimate daughter of a marquis's mansion?

She curled her lips and sneered, it was just that she was born into a good family.

Shang Tingli smiled and said, "Cousin Lan Xi, there's no need to raise your voice so loudly. I'm still young and not old enough to have tinnitus."

"you--"

Yu Lanxi pointed at her, furious, but couldn't utter another word.

Shang Tingli smiled brightly and said, "Thank you, cousin Lan Xi, for your concern. I'm fine."

"you this--"

Yu Lanxi wanted to explode again.

"My good cousin." Shang Tingli didn't give her the chance, interrupted her and stood up to say goodbye: "I came here today to add some dowry to cousin Lingling. The dowry gift has been delivered, so I'll take my leave first."

Before leaving, she smiled meaningfully at Yu Lingling and said, "I hope cousin Lingling really likes this dowry gift. I wonder if she will see you wearing it on your head when you come back home."

Yu Lingling was very upset, but she had to put on a smile and spoke word by word: "Farewell, cousin."

She stared at Shang Tingli's leaving back, her expression gradually becoming colder.

After Shang Tingli left, Yu Lingling's sisters did not stay long, and the sisters in the mansion also found excuses to return to their own courtyards.

Yu Lanxi hasn't left yet.

She sneered, "Coward." She didn't even dare to pick on that bitch. She was also a bitch.

After cursing, Yu Lanxi also left.

Yu Lingling was still holding the wooden box that Shang Tingli had added to her dowry, her fingers gripping it so tightly that it seemed as if her nails could dig into the wood.

After a long moment, she sneered.
