After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

In autumn, jackdaws slump on branches, the fog is thick outside the window, frost hits the leaves, and the air is bleak and cold.

A carriage stopped at the gate of Gu's house. The carriage was covered with expensive and exquisite silk on all sides, and the windows inlaid with gold and gems were covered by a curtain of light blue crepe.

Gu Zhiyin got off the carriage, and after being greeted by the servant guarding the gate, she walked into the mansion and headed straight for the main courtyard.

"Greetings, Princess." When the maids and servants saw her, they all bowed and greeted her.

When Xiang's mother heard the voice, she hurried out of the house. The moment she saw Gu Zhiyin, a rare sincere smile appeared on her old face: "The princess is back, come in quickly."

Gu Zhiyin nodded slightly and went into the house.

"You're back so early. Have you had breakfast?" I asked my mother with concern.

"Yes." Gu Zhiyin said, "Is mother's illness serious?"

Xiang Mama sighed: "The doctor said that the anger is in my heart."

Ruyi followed behind him and rolled her eyes secretly in her heart.

Now that the Second Miss has suffered a loss and has asked the Princess for help, she has been very kind to her.

And why did the Princess come back so early? Don’t you have any idea?

Before dawn, she sent a maid to the palace to pass on the message that the lady was seriously ill and asked the princess to return home.

They didn’t know that the lady had fainted from anger.

Although Ruyi complained in her heart, there was no emotion on her face.

In the room, Jiang was leaning against the head of the bed while Lian Qiao was helping her drink medicine. She looked a little listless, which showed that she was very angry last night.

"My daughter pays respects to my mother." Gu Zhiyin bowed and said.

Jiang gave her a weak smile: "Hurry up, Xiang Mama, move a stool for the young lady and serve tea."

Gu Zhiyin sat down on the bed, looked at Jiang with a worried look and asked, "What happened to mother?"

"That bastard Shen Linzhou is not a human being." Jiang gritted her teeth and told what happened last night: "...Jinse said that Shen Linzhou was abnormal and it was you who reminded her. Now you are the princess of the county and you are good friends with Liu Zhenzhen. Can you find a way to make him disappear in the capital?"

Gu Zhiyin sighed and explained, "I saw my second brother-in-law coming out of the jewelry store twice. At first I thought he was buying jewelry for my second sister, but when I found out he took the things but didn't go back home, I became a little concerned. I couldn't ask about the Shen family's affairs, so after hesitating for a long time I thought about reminding my second sister. If I misunderstood, that would be the best. If my second brother-in-law really did something to let my second sister down... I think it's better than my second sister being kept in the dark. It doesn't make sense for my second sister to suffer from pregnancy at home while my second brother-in-law is out having a good time."

Gu Zhiyin paused and raised a perfect smile: "I am only thinking about my second sister, but mother won't hurt me like this, right?"

Jiang Shi smiled, and she felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet. A trace of guilt flashed across her eyes: "What are you talking about, kid? When did I hurt you?"

"Mother asked me to find a way to make the mistress disappear from the capital. Otherwise, I could use my power to drive her out of the capital. But this would only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Shen Linzhou would find out sooner or later and would bring her back. Then he would go to Prince Pingyang's mansion and make a scene. How would I live? Otherwise, I would be ruthless and sell her far away or kill her. If I were found out, regardless of whether I would pay with my own life or not, even Prince Pingyang's mansion would not tolerate me. Prince Ming would divorce me with a divorce letter. Would the Gu family want a woman who had been divorced?"

Jiang was choked and said in a dry voice: "It's not... It's not as serious as you say..."

Gu Zhiyin chuckled and did not respond. She changed the subject and said, "My mother took people to Tonghua Lane last night, hoping to quietly deal with this mistress, but she was discovered by Shen Linzhou. Not only did she fail, but she fainted from anger. How could I be capable of doing something that even my mother could not accomplish?"

Jiang's heart was stabbed by Gu Zhiyin, and her face darkened.

This rebellious girl!

Gu Zhiyin seemed not to notice Jiang's gloomy face, and continued, "But as a daughter of the Gu family, I really can't watch my second sister being bullied. Instead of deliberately dealing with the mistress and making Shen Linzhou hate my second sister from now on, it's better for everyone to take a step back."

Jiang understood what Gu Zhiyin meant: "You mean to let Jinse swallow her anger and take that woman into the mansion? Why should Jinse suffer this loss?"

"Yes, otherwise, should we keep her outside and let her call herself Shen Linzhou's wife? Then what will happen to the second sister? As time goes by, more and more people will know that Shen Linzhou has a mistress. Regardless of whether Shen Linzhou and his mistress have a good reputation, the second sister will become a joke."

Jiang pursed her lips and said nothing. Her face looked extremely ugly, and her chest ached with anger.

“But if the second sister takes the initiative to bring the person back to the Shen Mansion, outsiders will only praise her for being virtuous and generous. Even if she doesn’t care about this reputation, once the person enters the Shen Mansion, she will be a concubine. Under her nose, the woman can only be submissive and humble. At that time, the second sister can use the rules of hierarchy to suppress her, which will be justified and no one can find fault with her.” Gu Zhiyin said slowly.

Xiang's mother nodded repeatedly as she listened, "Madam, the Princess is right, and even if we deal with one concubine this time, we can't guarantee that there won't be another one."

The most important point is that the master's attitude last night clearly showed that he was unwilling to make the decision for the second young lady.

If the second young lady really has a big fight with her son-in-law, the two elders of the Shen family will not stand by the second young lady, and the second young lady's situation will become even more difficult.

Gu Zhiyin: "But the concubine is favored by Shen Linzhou, and it's only a matter of time before she gets pregnant. Before she came into the family, she was asked to drink contraceptive soup to prevent future troubles. My second sister is now pregnant with the eldest grandson of the Shen family. If she gets a boy, her position will be secure."

That evil child should never be born again in this life.

A bowl of contraceptive soup prevented Lu Wan Ning from getting pregnant, so that she wouldn't have to do it again after giving birth.

Gu Zhiyin still found it hard to get over the thought of killing a newborn baby, but fortunately she didn't give birth to the baby.

……

In the afternoon, a drizzle began to fall from the sky. The rain threads intertwined into a silver curtain, covering the sky and landing on the bluestone ground in the yard, creating ripples.

Shen Linzhou held an umbrella and walked slowly towards his yard.

He stayed overnight in Tonghua Lane last night. Firstly, Gu Jinse knew about it anyway, so he didn't need to hide it. Secondly, he wanted to comfort Lu Wanning who was frightened.

"Third Young Master." The maids in the courtyard bowed to him one after another.

Shen Linzhou nodded, walked up the steps to the eaves, folded the umbrella, and handed it to the maid beside him.

"Is the young lady awake yet?"

The maid said, "Master, wake up. Madam San Shao is in the flower hall."

"kindness."

Shen Linzhou responded and strode towards the flower hall.
