Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

He ordered a pot of tea, a plate of dim sum, and a plate of melon seeds, then sat down to check on the situation in the teahouse.

This is an antique teahouse, the wooden tables and chairs exude the breath of time, and some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls add a bit of elegance. It makes people feel extra comfortable and cozy.

The tea drinkers sat at tables of two or three to five, chatting quietly. From time to time, there were a few chuckles. The whole teahouse was filled with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

After a while, the waiter brought up tea and snacks.

It is said that teahouses and restaurants are the best sources of information. The two of them drank tea and listened to the conversations of the tea drinkers.

I saw several tea drinkers at the next table were discussing with great interest the interesting things that had happened in the city recently. Most of the discussions were about Princess Jiahe, Princess Jiahe's invention of agricultural tools, the discovery of new crops, Princess Jiahe's parents recognizing each other, and so on. Everyone was talking about them with great interest, and Qinghe and Bai Shuyu were listening attentively and enjoying them very much.

"I didn't expect that after attending the welcoming banquet yesterday, the news would spread everywhere today!"

Bai Shuyu smiled and said, "Yes, if you want any news, come to the teahouse, it's guaranteed to be right, come and try it."

"Yes, okay, sister-in-law."

While the two were talking, they saw several maids escorting two women, one old and one young, into the teahouse.

The older lady wore a dark satin skirt with intricate embroidery and accessorized with gorgeous headdresses and jewellery.

The young woman was wearing a light yellow dress, but her complexion was dark, so wearing clothes of this color not only failed to add points, but made her look tacky.

After the two of them sat down, a waiter came up to them enthusiastically and asked what the lady needed.

"Give me a pot of the best Longjing tea and a plate of snacks," said the lady.

"Okay, wait a moment."

After the waiter went down, he heard the young man say:

"Mom, you heard it too. The woman Qin Minglang was going to marry was named Cui Linglong. I didn't expect that little bitch could come back alive and now she's married to the general's mansion.

After we get married, there will be no more happy days for us!"

The two people talking were Cui Linglong's stepmother and stepsister.

I saw Cui Linglong from afar at the dinner yesterday, and I thought I was seeing things, so I could only watch her from afar and didn’t dare to go up to confirm.

I sent someone out to inquire this morning.

After hearing what her daughter said, the lady frowned, a calculating look appeared on her face, and she lowered her voice and said:

"Don't worry, what if she comes back? She was the one who fell into depravity and did such a shameful thing.

It was her father who kicked her out, not us.

But now that the little bitch has married into a rich family, it's a bad thing for us.

Get along well with her. A woman is going to get married soon, how can she do that without her family?

Once we coax her back home, we will have connections with the General's Mansion, and even the Princess' Mansion and Prince Chen's Mansion.

Then I can use this opportunity to find you a good marriage. Wouldn't that be easy?"

Cui Linlang showed a hint of joy when she heard her mother's words, but then she said with some worry:

"But mother, will Cui Linglong be willing to reconcile with us? Back then, after father kicked her out of the house, we took her away~~~~~"

Before she could finish her words, her mother glared at her.

"All the previous events are kept to ourselves. We only know that Cui Linglong was kicked out by your father because of her bad personal ethics."

Cui Linlang nodded and said, "I understand, mother."

At this time, snacks and tea were served. Mrs. Cui picked up a piece of snack and ate it slowly, seeming to be thinking about something.

After a while, Madam Cui sneered and said:

“Humph, remember, that bitch has no power or influence, and without her mother’s family, she can’t take a single step in her husband’s family.

We'll find someone to find out where that bitch lives now. We'll send a letter to visit her."

"Okay, my daughter understands."

The other tea drinkers in the teahouse didn't seem to notice the conversation between the mother and daughter and continued to talk in low voices.

Qinghe and Bai Shuyu were listening on the side, feeling somewhat disdainful and contemptuous of the mother and daughter's thoughts.

After separating from Bai Shuyu, Qinghe returned home. When Cui Linglong came back, she told her what had happened in detail.

After hearing this, Cui Linglong's face turned very ugly. She never thought that her stepmother and stepsister would be so vicious and wanted to use her under the guise of reconciling with her.

Qing He saw Cui Linglong's unhappy face and comforted her by saying:

"Don't be sad. I heard what they said today. They were the ones who kicked you out of your home and took you away by human traffickers!"

Cui Linglong was shocked and trembling with anger.

"No matter what, I will never go back to the Cui family, and I will never let them succeed!" Cui Linglong said gritting her teeth.

Qing He patted her shoulder and said:

"Sister Linglong, I support you. From now on, our Shangguan family and Qin family will support your father.

It’s better not to have your mother’s family.”

In the evening, the servant came to report that they had received a visiting card and the Cui family was indeed going to visit.

Cui Linglong asked the servant to reply: "I don't have time to entertain guests."

I sent the message two days ago, and got the same reply.

At the same time, news spread in the capital that the Qin family's upcoming granddaughter-in-law was the eldest daughter of Minister Cui, and the two families were about to become relatives.

For a moment, everyone remembered the incident of Cui Linglong being kicked out of the house.

Some people think that Cui Linglong was immoral because she got pregnant before marriage, and she deserved to be kicked out of the house.

Now that he has climbed up to the Qin family, he doesn't even go back to his own home, and doesn't even respond to the visiting card sent by the Cui family. It's really despicable.

On this day, Qin Minglang and Baili Ye were discussing things with Qinghe and Cui Linglong in the mansion when they heard the servant come to report that the Cui family had come to visit again.

Qing He smiled and said, "The Cui family is really persistent."

Cui Linglong looked at the three people and said, "Since they want to see me so much, then accept the invitation and tell them that I will entertain them tomorrow!"

The servant responded and went out to reply.

Qing He took out a few visiting cards, handed them to Bai Er, and said:

“It just so happens that these visiting cards have been delivered a few days ago.

Bai Er, please arrange for them to come over to your house for a chat tomorrow!"

On the second day, several wives and daughters of officials arrived at the mansion early. Shang Yajun and Qin were drinking tea with the wives and daughters in the hall when they heard the servant come to announce that the mother and daughter of the Cui family had arrived.

Cui Linglong and Qinghe went out to greet them. Mrs. Cui saw Cui Linglong with a smile on her face, while Cui Linlang followed behind Mrs. Cui and seemed a little reluctant.

When Mrs. Cui saw Cui Linglong, she smiled and walked forward, took her hand and said, looking her up and down, her eyes reddened, and she choked with sobs:

"It really is you, Linglong. When you were kicked out of the house, your sister and I were worried and went out to look for you, but when we left, we couldn't find you.

We originally thought you had returned to your hometown, so we sent someone to see if you had returned. The servant came back and said that we didn't see any sign of you there, so we realized that you might have been lost.

Your parents have been looking for you everywhere over the years, but there has been no news from you.

Kid, your father kicked you out of the house because he was angry, and he regretted it deeply afterwards.

Why hasn't there been any news from home in all these years?"
