Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story
Chapter 105 Huang's Awakening
He Chanling returned to the house carrying the red box. Huang bolted the door, pulled He Chanling into the inner room, and asked in a low voice, "Ling'er, is the princess's statement about the Hou family reliable?"
He Chanling shook her head. "Reliable as hell! I heard he's dying."
Huang was shocked. "Then you still want to marry him? Are you stupid? No, no, back out immediately! Return the money to your grandmother!"
"Why should I return it? Mom, I won't return the kiss! I won't return the money either!"
He Chanling opened the box, and inside were two hundred gold bars neatly stacked, each worth ten golds. Ouyang had not prepared any, so she took out the gold she usually used. Each bar was pure and gleamed with golden light.
If Ouyang had known this would happen earlier, she would have definitely prepared some impure gold for He Chanling and would never have given her gold of this high quality.
He Chanling counted them one by one. Yes, not a single one was missing. In her entire life, her grandmother Ouyang had never given her any gifts. These two thousand gold coins were her compensation.
Seeing her calm and composed look, Huang was so anxious that she burst into tears, "Ling'er, you are confused! Hou Hao is about to die, why are you still getting married? Don't scare me!"
"Mom, I'm not scaring you. I really want to get married."
Huang was about to say something else, but He Chanling hushed her voice and pointed outside, and Huang covered her mouth.
He Chanling took off her shoes and walked to the door quietly. She saw a shadow leaning against the door, listening to the sound inside with his head tilted.
Huang also came over, her eyes wide open. He Chanling pulled her back a few steps and said loudly, "Mother, have you finished writing the engagement letter? We need to send it to Grandma quickly."
"Ahh, it'll take a while!"
"Write now! I can't wait!"
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll write it right away. I need to check the almanac!"
The mother and daughter sang in harmony, and their voices reached outside, soothing the man's heart.
The shadow completed the task and ran away. He Chanling opened the door and saw the person's back. It was Huang's personal maid, Hongcao.
The mother and daughter sat back in the inner room. Huang's face became even uglier. Hongcao had been with her for more than 20 years. She brought her from her mother's home. She didn't expect that she would betray her. She cursed a few times and felt even more disheartened.
He Chanling didn't understand it at first, but now she understands it. Huang Shi doesn't fight for anything, and her husband and mother-in-law don't like her. She stays bored in the backyard every day. She feels depressed, and the servants feel depressed too. There is no point in following such a master, so she just turns to others.
"Mom, let's not talk about Hongcao for now. Let me tell you about the Hou family first."
He Chanling leaned close to Huang's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Mom, don't worry, I won't marry him at all."
"Then why did you agree?"
"I plan to let He Miaomeng marry him."
"Varied--?"
He Chanling covered Huang's mouth. "Don't shout, mother. I'm telling you, since Grandmother and Second Aunt are plotting against us, with the Qin family in front and the Hou family behind, it's obvious that they've decided to sell me out for their own benefit."
"What did the Hou family promise to give them?"
"One farm, five shops."
Although Huang stayed in the house every day, she still understood the future of the shop. She frowned and said,
"The two thousand gold your grandmother gave you is enough to buy two shops. Add to that the expenses for the banquet and other things, and you'll spend quite a bit. There won't be much left from what the Hou family gave you."
It seems that the Ouyang and Lin families may not be after money. Then what benefit do they get from torturing He Chanling like this?
After so many things, Huang Shi had to stand up. If she didn't, both mother and daughter would be finished. These jackals, tigers and leopards really dared to eat them!
If He Chanling marries poorly, Huang will inevitably suffer. She may die of grief or be driven crazy. In any case, her life will not be easy.
And since mother and daughter are having a hard time, the first person to suffer is Huang's son He Jin. If He Jin is not well... the happiest person will definitely be...
A name popped up in Huang's mind, Dong!
Dong was He Feng's concubine, and she lived with He Feng in the northwest. However, Huang, the main wife, was left in the capital and had not seen He Feng for many years. The positions of the two were completely reversed.
If the Huang family fails, the Dong family will definitely benefit the most.
Huang said, "Ling'er, if my guess is correct, the Dong family must be involved in this. They promised huge profits to your grandmother and second aunt, so they framed you and restrained me and your brother."
He Chanling was puzzled. "But it would cost a lot of money to bribe Grandmother and Second Aunt. The Northwest is desolate. Where would Dong get the money? My father asked her to be a housekeeper in the Northwest, but she complains about being poor every day."
Huang sighed, feeling both regretful and resentful. If she had known this would happen, she should have risked her life, even if it meant turning against He Feng and Ouyang, and followed them to the northwest. Even if He Feng disliked her, she would have stayed there for the sake of her two children, instead of being bound by the so-called filial piety and letting Ouyang restrict her.
Now, my daughter has been raised in a way that she doesn't know how to manage her life, and her marriage is almost at their mercy. I just don't know if it's the same for my son. No, I can't stay in the capital anymore. I have to go to the northwest as soon as possible, even if it means falling out with them!
Huang looked at He Chanling with satisfaction. She was full of energy and fearless. Fortunately, her daughter was not like herself. She was disciplined and dared not have any ideas of her own. She just did whatever her in-laws told her to do.
She said, "Ling'er, you don't understand. Although the northwest is desolate and not as prosperous as the capital, it has many minerals. They may not look impressive, but they are very valuable. There are also grains and fruits in the northwest. Although the output is small, they are delicious and can be sold at a good price in the capital. It's obvious that Dong is lying to you."
From this, Huang was certain that her mother-in-law Ouyang, her second brother He Luan, her second brother's sister-in-law Lin, and He Feng's concubine Dong were definitely involved in this matter, but it was not yet certain whether her husband He Feng was involved.
But no matter what they do, Huang will not tolerate it anymore. She cannot let her teenage daughter take the lead. As a mother, she should take responsibility.
Since Lin wanted to harm her daughter, it wouldn't be too much for her to harm her daughter.
In fact, it is very simple for people to change. They just need to overcome the hurdle in their hearts. Huang spent more than ten years and was inspired by her daughter to finally overcome that hurdle.
She thought cruelly, who wouldn't hurt others? If they made her angry, she would chop those people into pieces.
Huang took out red paper from the drawer and began to write He Chanling's engagement letter. Since she wanted to marry He Miaomeng, she had to make a big deal out of it, with three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts.
He Chanling said, "Mom, just copy the one from the Qin family."
Huang shook her head. "Silly girl, how can that be possible? The Qin family's copy is real. We have to write a fake one now. Otherwise, your horoscope will be recorded in the Hou family's genealogy, and you will really be matched with Hou Hao. Even in the underworld, you will be husband and wife."
"Mom, what should I do?"
"Look at me."
