The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

When Jingxue returned to the manor, Jingze and the others were playing with the myna bird in the hall.

Upon seeing Jingxue, the little myna bird fluttered up and landed on her shoulder, saying ingratiatingly, "Boss, I'm the little myna bird, I'm your good baby!"

The three little ones, Jingze, also gathered around, chattering away.

"Elder sister, the housekeeper said we're going to visit Grandmother tomorrow. Are Brother An'an and Yingying going too?" Jingze asked, looking up at his mother.

Jingxue smiled and said, "An'an and Yingying aren't going. It'll just be you, me, and Ye Muchen. The three of us will go."

"Oh!" Jingze has been inseparable from An'an and Yingying these days. He doesn't quite understand why he can't bring An'an and Yingying along, but he knows that his older sister doesn't like to ask too many questions.

When Jingxue saw An'an and Yingying, she thought it was time to resolve the issue of the two children. Fortunately, Li Jun was also in Beijing. After investigating, she decided that the two children could either be recognized by their ancestors or continue to live with her, but the premise was that the two children were safe.

In the afternoon, Jingxue ordered some medicinal herbs from her online space and made a lavender aromatherapy product for later use.

Ye Muchen did not return for dinner. Yingwu said he went to see Prince Rui. Speaking of Prince Rui, Jingxue remembered that his wedding was on the second day of the second lunar month. She still needed to discuss with Ye Muchen what gift to give.

The next day, after breakfast, Jingxue and the other two took a carriage to Li Huan's residence. The steward had prepared the gifts, and Jingxue added or removed some.

When they were almost at the Li residence, Jingxue suddenly had the idea to use her supernatural abilities to take a look around.

Seeing that Li Huan's family of four and Li Jun were already in the old lady's room, and that Sun Hua was leading her maid toward the kitchen, Jing Xue felt uncomfortable with Sun Hua ever since she first met her, so she followed them.

The maidservant said, "Miss, it's rare that the young master didn't go out today!"

Sun Hua's face was not good at all. "The people you sent out came back saying they were looking for the children. Does that mean those two bastards are not dead?"

"Miss, those people took several thousand taels of silver from us, saying that the mother and her two children are all dead! This servant doesn't know what happened?"

Sun Hua turned her head and glared at the maid, saying in a low voice, "You think you can get away with it by saying you don't know? If anything goes wrong with this, neither you nor your family will survive!"

The maid tightly gripped her right hand with her left. "Miss, that woman was burned to death, and the two children fell off a cliff and died. Isn't this better than selling them off as we suggested before? Perhaps the young master still thinks the two children are alive! He'll give up once he can't find them!"

"Alright, hurry up and go to the kitchen to check how the dishes for lunch are going! This is so frustrating every day!"

Jingxue hadn't expected everything to be such a coincidence. In fact, she had long suspected Sun Hua because An'an had once said that the people who kidnapped them claimed they were reporting back to some lady, which meant that the person behind them was a woman.

However, Jingxue was unaware of the problems between Li Jun and Sun Hua before, so she only had suspicions. Now it seems that she really is the culprit.

She really couldn't let An'an and Yingying be recognized as family members so easily, otherwise the two children might still suffer from Sun Hua's cruelty.

A servant was already waiting at the gate of the mansion. Upon seeing the prince's carriage arrive, he quickly went inside to report.

Li Huan and Li Jun came out to greet them. The group arrived at the main hall, where Madam Li rose to pay her respects.

Jingxue quickly stepped forward to support her. "Grandmother, there's no need to be so polite in your own home. Jingze, come and greet Grandmother, Aunt, and Aunt."

Jingze politely greeted everyone.

"Good! Good! Good boy! Come here and let your grandmother take a look." Madam Li excitedly pulled Jingze's hand and sat him down.

Li Huan also invited Ye Muchen and Jingxue to take their seats.

"Your Highness, I heard that your mother has given birth and both mother and child are safe. Your grandmother can finally rest easy!" said Madam Li.

“Grandmother, you can just call me Xue’er. Yes, my mother and little brother are both doing well. The Emperor Emeritus even gave my little brother the name ‘Jingqi.’ Grandmother, please don’t worry!” Jingxue said.

Madam Li nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry! I'll be even more at ease if we can get home sooner!"

Fearing that the old lady might say something she shouldn't, Madam Che quickly spoke up, "Your Highness, Your Highness, it should actually be us who go to the Prince's Mansion to wish you a Happy New Year. However, you just returned, and yesterday the steward of the Prince's Mansion sent you a visiting card. This has truly made us feel uneasy."

Ye Muchen said, "Aunt, don't overthink it. You are all Xue'er's closest relatives, and also my elders. It is only right that we come here."

Li Huan said, "Your Highness, why don't you let Xing'er go back to the manor with you today, so that he can gain more experience?"

"No rush, he'll be busy after the Lantern Festival! Let him stay home and spend some time with you!"

“After the Lantern Festival, the New Year celebrations will be over, and we should set off back to Qingzhou,” Li Huan said.

Aside from introducing Ye Muchen and Jingxue at the gate of the mansion, Li Jun couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Madam Che said, "Qianqian and Prince Qin's wedding is set for June. The Duke's Mansion sent many New Year's gifts before the New Year, and we returned the favor. As for their wedding, we still need to discuss it with the Duke's Mansion before we leave. Your Highness, Your Highness, is that how it should be?"

Jingxue glanced at Ye Muchen and said, "Aunt, I don't really understand these things!"

"This is the first time our household has received a marriage decree from His Majesty. Normally, marriages are arranged by official matchmakers or matchmakers, so we would like to ask the Prince and Princess for their opinions," Madam Che explained.

Ye Muchen smiled and said, "Both of you happen to be my and Xue'er's uncles. I think you can just say what you think without overthinking it. It's all for the sake of getting the marriage done."

“Your Highness is right!” Li Huan said.

Even after lunch, when Jingxue and the others were about to leave, Li Jun didn't say more than a few words.

Jingxue did not allow Old Madam Li to see her off, only saying that she would come to see her again in a few days.

Just as they were saying goodbye, Jingxue said to Li Jun, "I've heard that you've traveled to many places in the south. I have some business matters I'd like to ask you about. Could you please come to the Prince of Zhan's residence tomorrow for a chat?"

Li Jun was stunned when Jingxue said this. He didn't understand why his niece had extended an invitation to him!

“Your Highness is right. If Your Highness is unfamiliar with the South, I can offer some advice,” Li Jun said.

"Very well! Please invite my uncle to our residence tomorrow!"

"it is good!"

Ye Muchen and Jingxue didn't linger any longer and took Jingze back to the mansion.

Watching their carriage depart, Sun Hua whispered to Li Jun, "Husband, shall I accompany you to the Prince of Zhan's mansion tomorrow?"

Li Jun replied, "You've already used it. The Princess Consort specifically requested that I go, so you don't need to go!"

After he finished speaking, he strode into the mansion gate. Sun Hua watched his back and fiercely tore at the handkerchief in her hand.

No one took Jingxue's invitation seriously, since Jingxue's shop was doing well and Li Jun was also in business, so it was normal for the two of them to discuss business strategies.
