"Princess Princess, Princess Princess..."

Ruyi's call rang in my ears again and again.

After shouting for an unknown number of times, Gu Zhiyin finally came to his senses: "Huh? What's wrong?"

"Just now we received news from the Shen family that the second young lady had a miscarriage yesterday." Ruyi said.

Gu Zhiyin's confused mind suddenly came to its senses after hearing this. She looked at Ruyi in disbelief: "Why did you suddenly have a miscarriage?"

As she spoke, she threw back the quilt and got out of bed.

Ruyi hurriedly helped her change clothes.

"The maid who came to report said that it was Aunt Lu who poisoned the Second Miss. Madam has gone to the Shen family and wants to ask the Princess of the County to seek justice for the Second Miss."

Gu Zhiyin: "Why? The Shen family thinks this matter is suspicious and it wasn't done by Lu Wanning?"

That's why her mother sent someone to ask her to go to the Shen family, saying that she was going to seek justice. Wasn't it just that she wanted to use the name of the Pingyang Palace to suppress the Shen family?

If Shen's mother had already dealt with Lu Wan Ning, she would definitely not have asked her to come to her house.

Ruyi thought for a moment and said, "From what I said, that's not the case. It seems that Aunt Lu is the favorite concubine of the Second Uncle. Even if it is confirmed that she was the one who poisoned the Second Miss, because the Second Uncle is not at home, Madam Shen just detained her. I guess she wants to wait for the Second Uncle to come back before making a decision."

"Then let's go to the Shen family." Gu Zhiyin said.

If Shen's mother dealt with Lu Wanning at will, and her son became estranged from her because of this when he came back, it would be totally not worth it for Shen's mother.

To Shen's mother, the grandson in Jinse's belly is important, but it is not as important as her own son.

But is Lu Wanning so stupid?

She dared to poison Gu Jinse and harm the baby in her belly in the Shen family. What did she want?

Even if Gu Jinse had a miscarriage, could Lu Wanning still give birth to a son and raise him as the mistress's legitimate son like in her previous life?

With a lot of questions in his mind, Gu Zhiyin took a carriage to the Shen family.

The New Year is supposed to be a time of lively and joyous atmosphere, but the Shen family was shrouded in a dark cloud.

When Shen's mother heard the report from the servant, her heart skipped a beat and she hurried out to greet them.

"Greetings, Princess." Mother Shen bowed to Gu Zhiyin.

Gu Zhiyin nodded calmly: "Mrs. Shen."

As he spoke, he walked towards Gu Jinse's room.

Along the way, Gu Zhiyin's face was slightly cold. Shen's mother looked at him carefully, secretly wondering if Gu Zhiyin wanted to stand up for Gu Jinse?

Mother Shen had no idea that Gu Zhiyin's cold face was only because of her.

In her previous life, she devoted herself to the Shen family and was filial to her parents-in-law, but she could not get even a trace of sincerity from Shen's mother.

Having lived this life over again, Gu Zhiyin naturally had no good face towards Shen's mother.

Anyway, her status as the Princess of a County was there, so Shen's mother didn't dare to object.

Why should you force yourself to greet people you dislike with a smile?

In the room, Gu Jinse was lying on the bed with a pale face, while Jiang's eyes were red with heartache, and it was obvious that she had already cried.

"Jinse, the princess is here to see you." Mother Shen said to Gu Jinse in a soft voice.

Gu Jinse turned her head and looked at Gu Zhiyin, her frail face forced out a wronged yet pretendingly strong smile: "Big sister!"

Gu Zhiyin nodded and gestured to Ruyi.

Ruyi came forward holding a brocade box.

"This is a fifty-year-old ginseng, it will nourish your body." Gu Zhiyin said.

"How come it's only fifty years old? Pingyang Palace is such a big family business, don't they have a hundred-year-old ginseng?" Jiang squinted at Gu Zhiyin and said in an unhappy voice, "Or are you just reluctant to give it to us and just give us something to perfunctorily? How can you be such an elder sister? You didn't care about such a big thing happening to your younger sister, and you even asked me to urge you. It's true that now you are the princess of a county, your status is different, and you look down on your natal family."

Jiang straightened her back, sat upright beside the bed, and scolded Gu Zhiyin in the manner of a mother.

In her opinion, as long as she is the mistress of the Gu family and Gu Zhiyin's nominal mother, Gu Zhiyin has to be obedient.

Otherwise, a label of being unfilial would be enough to ruin her reputation.

Gu Zhiyin looked at Jiang with clear eyes. Her face was calm and she didn't seem to be ashamed or angry at Jiang's words. Instead, she looked like she was thinking seriously.

Seeing her silence, Jiang felt that she had suppressed Gu Zhiyin and felt slightly proud.

Unexpectedly, she told Ruyi in the next sentence: "Mother and second sister disliked the gift I sent. Ruyi, go back and report to the princess and ask her to send a hundred-year-old ginseng. Otherwise, I will be known as an unfilial person."

Ruyi: "Yes, Princess."

With that said, he turned around and left.

When Jiang heard Gu Zhiyin's words, her mind suddenly buzzed. Seeing that Ruyi was really about to leave, she hurriedly shouted, "Stop."

Ruyi turned around and said humbly, "Madam, do you have any other instructions?"

Jiang gritted her teeth and glared at Gu Zhiyin: "What do you mean?"

Gu Zhiyin blinked innocently: "Mother, I didn't mean anything. Isn't this just what you said, a daughter should try her best to be filial! It was my fault. Second sister had a miscarriage and was weak. I should have brought the best tonics and herbs in the palace. After all, Second sister's health is the most important. Grandmother, father and mother are all healthy, so tonics are not necessary for them."

Jiang was so angry that she fell backwards. Her face turned red and then as black as the bottom of a pot.

Gu Zhiyin was indirectly scolding her for being greedy and shameless, and the last sentence was even more like putting them on the fire.

What does "grandmother, father and mother are in good health, and supplements are dispensable to them" mean?

Doesn't that mean that her daughter, the third young lady of the Shen family, who has no class or status, is more valuable than the old princess and the prince's princess?

Besides, giving gifts is a courtesy. Who would ask for nice things?

If Ruyi really returns to the palace today, I'm afraid the news will spread all over the capital tomorrow.

The Prince of Pingyang's Mansion was also offended to death.

This little bitch, she wondered why she suddenly became so well-behaved.

I have some bad ideas in mind.

Gu Jinse cursed Gu Zhiyin in her heart for being sharp-tongued, but she said with a guilty look on her face: "Big sister, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean to dislike ginseng. You also know that she speaks directly, which may not be pleasant to hear, but she doesn't mean any harm. I am very touched that you can come to see me. Haitang, why don't you find a seat for me."

Haitang quickly moved an embroidered stool and placed it behind Gu Zhiyin: "Princess, please sit down."

Hanyu received a look from Gu Jinse and took the brocade box from Ruyi with a smile.

Gu Zhiyin sat down obediently and said to Gu Jinse, "Don't be sad, second sister. You will have children again. What's important is to take good care of yourself."

When Gu Jinse heard this, she sneered in her heart.

It sounds like a careless and perfunctory response.

That’s right, how could Gu Zhiyin really hope for her well?

But even though there was already evidence that Lu Wanning had poisoned her, her mother-in-law simply confined her in anger and had no intention of taking any action.

Gu Jinse then wanted to use Gu Zhiyin's popularity to put pressure on Shen's mother.

So now I can only pretend to be touched.
