Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

"What did the princess say?"

Lu Yuanjing turned to ask Guo Yue, his eyes cold and cold.

Guo Yao might not know this when she first entered the palace, but Guo Yue and he had been married for more than ten years.

How could he not know that Lu Yuanjing's patience had already run out at this moment?

If her answer was even slightly inappropriate, the force of the blow on her face would be no less severe than that on Guo Yao's.

After thinking it through, Guo Yue frowned and said, "Your Highness is right. The money was indeed paid by the Guo family."

"Sister, are you crazy?" Guo Yao looked at Guo Yue as if she was a fool.

After all, she is a girl from the Guo family. Why doesn't she hope for the best for the Guo family, but instead helps the palace drain the Guo family's money?

Doesn't she know that a lean camel is bigger than a horse? Even if Prince Yu's Mansion is not as rich as Prince Heng's Mansion and the national treasury, it at least has more foundation than the Guo family.

However, Guo Yue looked at her with a mocking expression, "I'm not crazy."

"then you……"

"You are the one who caused the disaster. There is no reason for the prince to bear the consequences for you."

"Besides, you said in public that Yuyifang is not as good as Chengshi's Baozhufang. If that's the case, it would be easy for Chengshi to give you a million taels."

"I……"

The more happily he showed off before, the more painful it is to be slapped in the face now.

Guo Yao regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.

Her brother's Baozhufang was just as the women had said, its facade was indeed luxurious, but it didn't actually make any money.

Moreover, due to the failure of the father and son of the first wife, the business of the second wife was greatly affected.

Her brother has been so worried about this for so long that his hair is almost falling out. How could he easily come up with a million taels of silver to fill the hole for her?

Guo Yao finally realized how big a disaster she had caused, and she rushed to Lu Yuanjing with tears in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please give me another chance."

Lu Yuanjing snorted coldly, "If you can't get the silver back, you can't stay in the mansion anymore."

There are many noble ladies in Beijing. If the Guo family’s daughter is gone, there will still be the Wang family’s daughter and the Li family’s daughter.

But a million pieces of silver are not so easy to get.

Upon hearing that there was no way out, Guo Yao broke down and cried.

Guo Yue lowered her brows and remained silent for a while before she spoke slowly, "Your Highness, Guo Yao has an impulsive personality and is arrogant. It is wrong for her to cause Your Highness to suffer from her."

"Guo Yue you..."

Guo Yao thought she was trying to take advantage of her misfortune, so she stood up and tried to scratch her, but Guo Yue's fierce and cold glare made her stand still and she dared not move.

Then she heard Guo Yue continue, "But the bottom line is that Meng Yunshang went too far. I think this matter cannot be let go like this."

Guo Yao nodded frantically beside him, "Yes, we can't just let it go like this. Meng Yunshang has gone too far, we must get back at her."

Lu Yuanjing raised his eyebrows, "What are you going to do?"

This you refers to Guo Yue.

As for Guo Yao, he didn't even spare her a glance.

Guo Yue was very pleased with his focused look.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke with a firm tone, "My mother's birthday is our best opportunity. As long as we arrange it properly, not only can we make Meng Yunshang cough up the million silver, but we can also settle old and new accounts together."

Lu Yuanjing's eyes sparkled, and he finally agreed, "Okay, then I will wait for the princess's perfect plan."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely not let you down."

Lu Yuanjing hummed lightly, and seeing Guo Yue's gaze warmed back, "Only the princess can understand my thoughts."

This statement indirectly acknowledges Guo Yue's status as the queen.

After he left, Guo Yue proudly cursed Guo Yao, "Idiot!"

Guo Yao was unwilling to retort, "How good can you be? If you just talk nicely to the prince, you can save the Guo family a million silver coins, but you insisted on making trouble. Now, how can your family give us so much silver?"

Guo Yue interrupted her, "Take out the word 'we'. It's you who must return the money. It has nothing to do with me."

"Guo Yue, don't go too far. We are a whole. If I can't be well, how can you be clean?"

Guo Yue snorted, "Don't forget what the prince said just now. If you can't get the silver back, you don't have to stay in the palace anymore."

Guo Yao: “!!!”

After saying this, Guo Yue rolled her eyes at her and turned away arrogantly.

Guo Yao, who had always been proud and arrogant, could not stand this humiliation and returned to her yard with a livid face.

Even after guzzling several cups of herbal tea, the anger in my heart still could not be calmed down. Instead, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became.

"Humph, Guo Yue only knows how to act arrogant in front of me. I'll go back and tell my grandmother and see what she can still be arrogant about."

"Isn't it just because she's older that she took the position of the principal wife? You think anyone can't do it? If I were to do it, I would do it better!"

Dongzhi, the personal maid who had been following behind her, nodded in agreement, "That's right, if you were born a few years earlier, you would have been the Prince of Yu's principal wife. With your intelligence, you would definitely be a good wife for the prince."

"That's right," Guo Yao did not think Dong Zhi's words were exaggerated, but rather agreed with his fantasy, "If I had become the Princess of Yu earlier, I would have given birth to many, many children for the prince."

"Miss, you can do it now," Dongzhi coaxed gently, "The old lady and the young master sent you to Prince Yu's mansion, didn't they ask you to bear a child for the prince?"

"When you give birth to the prince's child, the old lady and the young master will definitely find a way to let you replace the eldest lady and become the principal wife of Prince Yu."

"Yes, that's it." Guo Yao was delighted.

"When I become the queen, I will be able to control the finances of the palace. Then I won't have to be constrained by that bitch Guo Yue anymore. I can spend the palace's money however I want."

"Then Miss, let's go find the prince."

"Hmm?" The topic changed so quickly that Guo Yao didn't react immediately. "What do you want to see the prince for?"

"Of course, it is the decision to let the prince take back the compensation silver," Dong Zhi said in a low voice close to Guo Yao's ear.

"From the way the prince looked at the princess before he left, I'm afraid he will have to stay in the princess's courtyard tonight. Miss, are you planning to let the eldest lady seduce the prince away, and you can only go back to the Guo Mansion in shame to raise money?"

Guo Yao shook her head like a rattle, "I don't want to."

"So, young lady, you have to appease the prince before the eldest lady does. Once the prince is happy, he will naturally forget about those worldly possessions."

"Then how do you coax me?"

Meeting Guo Yao's clear eyes, Dong Zhi quickly stuffed a purse into her hand.

"This was given to me by Madam before my young lady got married. She said that if I bring this with me to have sex with the prince, it will not only help me enjoy sex but also help me conceive faster."

Guo Yao was surprised, "You have such a good thing, why didn't you take it out earlier!"

Dongzhi's eyes flickered slightly, but he answered calmly, "Madam instructed that it should not be used until the critical moment, so as to avoid being discovered and snatched away by the young lady. But now the young lady has been forced into this state by the princess, and I feel sorry for her."

Guo Yao was delighted, "As expected, you are still good to me, Dongzhi. Don't worry, as long as I successfully conceive the prince's child, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

"I dare not ask for a reward, I just hope that Miss can get what she wants as soon as possible."

The smile in Guo Yao's eyes became more sincere. "Then quickly arrange for hot water. I want to take a shower, change clothes, and then go find the prince."

"Yes, miss."
