An hour later, the three of them returned to the Prime Minister's Residence from the Dali Temple.
When Hua Jin heard that Hua Tang and the other two had returned, she hurried out to greet them.
"Mother, what happened?" She looked back and didn't see the so-called cousin.
Instead, he was facing Hua Jianli's gloating smile.
Hua Jianli tactfully found an excuse to slip away, leaving time for the mother and daughter.
After Hua Jianli left, Shi couldn't hold back her grievances any longer. She threw away her handkerchief and started to cry, "Jin'er, your cousin was sentenced to three years in prison for selling a few fake jades. Your father also condoned him. And Hua Jianli, you must not know that she knew that he was your cousin, but she still had him sent to the Dali Temple. She was directly challenging us...!"
Hua Jin frowned. She just found out not long ago that her uneducated cousin had cheated his way to the capital, and he was arrested not long after. In fact, it was a good thing that he was arrested. How could such a person be worthy of having anything to do with their Prime Minister's Mansion?
"Mother!" Hua Jin comforted her, "Father is right! We should have less contact with relatives like this, lest people say that our family is not presentable and tarnish our reputation..."
Hua Jin knew very well who was the boss in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was right for her to cling to Hua Tang's thigh, so she always followed Hua Tang's lead.
Hua Tang nodded secretly. He thought Jin'er was sensible and understood his thoughts. If he didn't say that today, Miss Li would not let it go. He did this after careful consideration. At least he had gained a reputation of being selfless in front of outsiders.
Shi couldn't stand others saying bad things about her, but she had to listen to her daughter.
"I know, but that little bitch..." Before he could finish his words, Hua Jin pinched the back of his hand. Shi looked at Hua Tang and then stopped talking.
"Father and mother may have missed lunch. I have asked someone to prepare some food. You guys eat first. We can discuss anything later..."
Huatang smiled, thinking that her daughter was thoughtful. After giving her a few instructions, she left.
Because the butler said that the Minister of Works had something to discuss, so he asked him to go to the "tea house" at 5:00 p.m.
Shi followed Hua Jin to Jinyuan. Without outsiders around, Shi talked more naturally. "That little bitch is so bold that she actually dared to turn her back on me. Even if she is a dog, she has no say in our Shi family..."
In her eyes, Hua Jianli was no more than a maidservant. When she and the Fourth Prince had a complete falling out, she would have her bones crushed and ashes scattered.
"Don't worry, mother. One day she will have bad luck." Hua Jianli, how tough is your life?
If someone came in at this moment, they would see how gloomy the face of Hua Jin, who was the most famous person in the capital, was.
"You don't know how good she was at pretending..."
Hua Jin blinked, regained her usual gentleness, and patted the back of Shi's hand, "Mother, don't get excited. We have plenty of time to deal with her."
"How can I not be angry? I told Li An before I left and asked him to tell Hua Jianli to say something nice to Qin Changge when he arrived. But she came, but she was like an outsider and didn't say a word. Don't you think it's infuriating..."
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have made her laugh at such a fool.
"Mother..." Hua Jin was speechless, "Why do you think Hua Jianli and Qin Changge have a good relationship? Did Hua Jianli say that, or did Prince Che say that?"
"What you mean is..." Shi didn't understand. Could it be that her guess was wrong?
"Don't you think about why Hua Jianli could be favored by Prince Che? That devilish king doesn't even take the princess of the neighboring country seriously. What does Hua Jianli have? Stunning beauty? Strong backing? Or enviable literary talent?"
"But last time, she came back from the palace, it was Prince Che who sent her back."
Hua Jin let go of Shi's hand with a smile and poured a cup of tea for each of them. "Mother, don't you know what happened last time? The emperor said it was because Hua Jianli was wronged in the palace, so the emperor ordered him to send Hua Jianli back to express his apology..."
Shi thought about it and still felt that something was wrong!
"Oh, don't you think about it? Hua Jianli used to be the fiancée of the Fourth Prince. Now even the Fourth Prince looks down on her. Do you think Prince Che will take over..." Hua Jin pushed one of the cups of tea in front of Shi.
After hearing this, Shi understood. That’s right. How could an elder brother like a woman that even his younger brother despised? The most he could do was feel pity for her and give her some sympathy!
After figuring this out, Shi smiled brightly, grabbed the teacup, and gently stroked it, "My daughter is going to be the queen after all, she is so smart."
"Mom!" Hua Jin smiled shyly, "This fate hasn't even started yet?"
Although he said this, he was already beaming with joy in his heart.
"How could there be no clue? You are already the Fourth Prince's person. You have already stepped into the royal family. It is only a matter of time before you enter the Prince's Palace... Look, the Emperor is already in his forties, and the position of the Crown Prince is still uncertain. Who knows, the day you enter the palace may be the day you are appointed as the Crown Prince..."
Shi imagined the future scene, "When the time comes, once the Fourth Prince ascends to the throne, you will not only be the Fourth Prince's consort, but also the Crown Princess' consort..."
boom--
Hua Jin's heart was filled with excitement, Crown Princess!
"Miss." Xichun's panicked voice came from the door.
The two men seemed to change their expressions and said, "Why are you so reckless? You deserve to be beaten!"
"Madam..." Xichun didn't expect that the madam was also here, and was too scared to go forward.
"What happened?" Hua Jin was the first to come to his senses.
"Madam, there is a monk who calls himself Jietong at the door asking to see you. He said..." Xichun stammered, not knowing whether he should report it or not.
"What did he say?" Hua Jin asked patiently.
"It is said that there is evil spirit in the mansion, and there is a disaster star causing chaos..."
what?

Since returning to the side courtyard, Hua Jianli told the maid not to disturb her and she entered the space. She promised Qin Changge to make him a sachet to drive away poison. It was not difficult to prepare the medicine, and needlework was not difficult for her either. After all, she had sewed countless wounds. In modern times, when her master's clothes were torn, she sewed them stitch by stitch. Over time, her needlework naturally became more proficient.
Thinking of her master, she felt emotional again, the old man who gave her the only warmth.
I wonder if I will have the chance to see him again in this life?
After struggling in the space for another hour, I embroidered a heart-shaped sachet, which was filled with a lot of granular medicine. I grabbed the bag and pulled it, and it was done!
This is the first time in my two lives that I have given something to a boy. This feeling...
Somewhat subtle.
She wondered, if a woman in ancient times gave a man a gift, would people think there was something going on between the two of them? Or would people say it was a private exchange?
In an instant, she recalled the scene when he saw the sachet. Huh? How embarrassing! She threw the sachet to the shelf beside her. Let's talk about it later!
"Miss Seven, Miss Seven!"
