Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

Chapter 133 Easily Scared to the Bone (Revised)

I haven't returned to Jiangzhou yet.

Jiang Miaomiao fell asleep, and when she woke up again, it was already evening.

Jiang Miaomiao woke up and let out a big yawn.

I rolled around on the bed a couple of times, but I was still a little drowsy.

Looking at the ceiling above the bed, there was a red gauze curtain and a screen with butterflies and cats beside the bed.

She knew her undercover mission was over.

I'm lying in my own bed right now.

It seems they were sent back after arriving in Jiangzhou.

After all, everyone in the Cui family knew her; even the Cui family's dogs were very familiar with her.

I wonder what the princess's aunt would do if she knew that she was the neighbor's child.

She scrambled to her feet.

I saw my mother sitting at the table looking at the accounts. A tall stack of accounts covered most of her head.

Mother now has more and more accounts to review, some from Sister Qiao'er in Qingshi Town, some from Yipinju, and some from the suburban farms.

My older brother said that the estate was very large, with vast grasslands and farmland. My mother had also built several granaries and cellars on the estate.

Jiang Miaomiao had always wanted to go, but she hadn't been able to.

My mother's downfall was my eldest and second eldest brothers.

Mr. Cui told them to start preparing for the provincial examination next autumn. Once they passed the provincial examination, they would become scholars.

They were about to embark on their journey through the imperial examinations.

So these two are becoming increasingly diligent, especially the second brother, who always has a book in his hand wherever he goes.

The eldest brother is like a nail stuck to his butt; he sits for a while, then runs out to practice his boxing, and now he's putting down his book and getting ready to go out again.

They looked up and their eyes met.

Her younger sister looked at her with a grin.

Jiang Zifeng walked over quickly, picked up his sleeping sister whose hair was messy, and gave her a kiss.

"Miaomiao woke up just in time. Now that you're awake, let's go eat. Auntie made something delicious."

In the short time it took for the eldest brother to roll up the curtain, Jiang Miaomiao had already been moved into her mother's arms.

She stood on the stool, stretching out her little hands, waiting for someone to dress her and put on her shoes and socks.

She wanted to put it on herself, but the coat was too thick, and her little hands couldn't get any strength in it.

Lu Qingyao dressed her daughter in a little jacket and tied her hair in a small bun, showing off her forehead.

When the little guy drinks soup, the bowl almost covers his entire face, and his bangs are always greasy.

Jiang Miaomiao was languid and still a little drowsy, yawning one after another.

She kept muttering, "Mommy, I'm hungry..."

Seeing that her little girl could eat and sleep well, Lu Qingyao finally felt relieved.

The little guy is constantly going around collecting debts and acting as a spy, it's like putting his mother's heart on a fire.

I originally wanted to scold her, but now I just can't bring myself to do it.

I wasn't scared at all, and not a single hair on my body was lost.

It's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune!

Some children are very timid and can easily be frightened when they see others fighting. Blackie, the child from Aunt Wang's family who died, is still not fully recovered.

The condition fluctuates; a child who has returned to normal will relapse when stimulated.

It's heartbreaking to see.

When Jiang Miaomiao saw her older brother walking over, she looked at him blankly and asked, "Big brother...did you bring me candy?"

Jiang Zifeng pulled his hand back from his sleeve under the watchful eyes of his mother and second brother.

He chuckled, "Brother forgot, I'll bring it next time."

Jiang Miaomiao regretted asking in front of her mother; she should have asked her older brother quietly.

The second brother came over and took a few sesame seeds from her clothes.

He leered at her suspiciously, "Miaomiao, did you eat pastries at Princess Liang's place?"

"No, I didn't eat." Jiang Miaomiao shook her head vigorously.

That stuff causes internal heat, so my mother wouldn't let me eat it. I once secretly ate some and got a sty; my eye was so swollen I couldn't see anymore.

"It's good that you haven't eaten yet. Tonight, Mommy will stew rabbit meat. Miaomiao is in for a treat." Lu Qingyao smiled and helped her daughter sit down on the small stool.

Jiang Miaomiao: "..."

Oh dear! She wants to drink goat milk again now.

Although there were maids and servants in the house, Auntie still preferred to cook for herself.

When my mother is happy, she will cook for me herself.

However, Mother seemed particularly happy today and cooked for us herself again.

"Miaomiao must be starving. Auntie went to hunt a few rabbits today and kept two for you to play with in the backyard."

As Aunt Xiuxiu spoke, she brought in a plate of braised rabbit.

Jiang Miaomiao was curious. Wasn't her aunt supposed to be an assassin? How come she ended up hunting rabbits?

She really does wear many hats and is very talented!

But then she suddenly remembered something important: she hadn't complained yet.

She slid off the stool and ran to her mother. "Mother, the fat prince pulled the princess's hair and kicked her... Poor Princess!"

Everyone was stunned.

Is the little guy a beat slow to react? He only just remembered now.

Lu Qingyao picked up her daughter and comforted her, "Miaomiao, don't be afraid, the princess is alright."

She had never met the Liang King and his wife, but she had heard from her friends in her younger years that the couple had a very good relationship, which was the envy of many.

She was very happy at that time and had no time to envy others.

I never imagined it would turn out like this...

Xiuxiu put down her chopsticks and said, "Sister, I think that Prince Liang fell off his horse. He'll need at least two or three months to recover before he can get out of bed."

Jiang Miaomiao sat on a small stool, swinging her legs and listening intently.

Why did Aunt Xiuxiu only allow him to rest for three months?

Wouldn't it be better to just continue recuperating?

If Xiao Miaomiao didn't ask, her second brother asked for her.

Jiang Ziyan put down his chopsticks and said solemnly, "Aunt Xiuxiu, what if Prince Liang becomes even more violent after he recovers from his injuries?"

"Then we'll break his legs again..."

Jiang Ziyan: "..."

Jiang Zifeng looked at Xiuxiu with admiration, "Yes, break his legs!"

Jiang Miaomiao opened her mouth wide, almost drooling.

Auntie is so fierce and amazing, I have to give her a thumbs up!

Lu Qingyao pinched her brow and coughed twice. "Your aunt is joking. The prince's legs aren't something you can just break like that."

"Yeah, I was just kidding," Xiuxiu chimed in with an embarrassed laugh.

It seems that you can't teach children like this, otherwise my older sister will get angry.

She quickly changed the subject, "Sister, I went to Qingyun Temple today and heard that a band of bandits has come to Jiangzhou and is causing trouble. They often ambush people on both sides of the road and burn, kill, and plunder any wealthy merchants they see..."

"Is there such a thing?"

Lu Qingyao was surprised, as Jiangzhou had always been a very safe place.

Xiuxiu lowered her voice, "That's right, even the assassination of Prince Liang is said to be the work of bandits, and several people were killed or injured..."

Were there any deaths or injuries?

Jiang Miaomiao, do you remember? The princess even specifically asked the accompanying guards.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Aunt Xiuxiu said, "Sister, why don't I go and investigate tonight?"

"No way, don't go out these next few days, in case you get mistaken for an assassin and captured."

Lu Qingyao quickly stopped her.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, the city must be heavily guarded after the assassination attempt on the King of Liang.

No matter how good Xiuxiu's lightness skill was, it couldn't stop countless eyes from watching them, especially since they were right next to the Cui residence.

Perhaps someone outside has already been watching...

……

This night.

The city of Jiangzhou was filled with the sounds of war and panic.

Jiang Miaomiao's family slept with earplugs in, yet all was peaceful.

"Dong dong dong..."

Early in the morning, there was a knock on Jiang Miaomiao's door.

Xiuxiu peeked out and saw Qin Su standing outside the door.

"Sister Qin, come inside and tell me what's wrong, it's cold outside..."

"Xiuxiu, is Madam Lu home?"

After Qin Suwen came out, she patted her head and said, "Look at me, it's so early in the morning, where could I go if I'm not at home? It was the old lady who invited Madam Lu to come over."

"Okay, I'll go tell my sister right away whether Sister Qin would like to come in and sit for a while or go back first?"

"I'm going back now. The old lady isn't feeling well, and I need to go back to take care of her. Remember to have Madam Lu take Miaomiao with her."

With Miaomiao around, the old lady can eat a few more bites of food.

Knowing that Old Madam Cui would also be looking for her, Lu Qingyao washed up and then took her daughter to the Cui family.

I didn't bring Xiuxiu along, just in case she might be recognized.

As soon as she entered, Qin Su greeted her, "Sister Lu, the old lady has fallen ill from anger. Please try to persuade her; she'll listen to you..."

"The old lady has always been in good health, how could this be..."

"It's all about the young lady..."

Qin Su lowered her voice, "The eldest daughter's parents passed away early, and she practically grew up in the care of the old lady. The old lady treated her like her own daughter. Originally, seeing that Prince Liang was gentle and honest, she arranged this marriage... What was thought to be a good match turned out to be a tragic one!"

"After the old lady learned about this, she was already filled with remorse. When she saw the eldest daughter covered in injuries, she fell ill from anger..."

Qin Su's eyes reddened as she spoke.

Lu Qingyao understood that Qin Su considered her one of her own, which was why she was telling her all this.

To resolve this issue, we must first understand the whole story.

The Cui family has helped her a lot, and she cannot stand idly by.

"Sister Qin, why did the Princess keep it a secret from the family and not tell Mr. Cui?"

"Prince Liang is using the young heir and the princess as leverage... and even if they find out, there's nothing they can do. The head of the family can impeach him with a memorial, exposing the royal scandal and possibly angering the emperor... Even if His Majesty believes it, at most he'll just reprimand Prince Liang a few times and give the princess some gold and silver as compensation..."

If they go back, the King of Liang might treat the young lady even worse.

"The royal family isn't like an ordinary family; if things don't work out, they can get a divorce..."

Qin Su then found a secluded spot and poured her heart out to Lu Qingyao.

After saying that, he kept sighing.

Why would a perfectly good girl like her marry into the royal family?

As long as she didn't enter the royal family, given the Cui family's status and power, she could have lived a better life marrying into any other family in Daqing.

Lu Qingyao also sighed.

As for the matter of Princess Liang, there really is no solution yet.

Unless the King of Liang proposes a divorce himself, the Queen Consort will probably never be able to get rid of him.

However, if King Liang continues to lie there like this...

Nor can he die.

Many people died and were buried with him.

perhaps.

It's best to be half-dead like this.

"Auntie, eating sweets will make you feel better." Jiang Miaomiao put a milk tablet into Qin Su's mouth, and then put one into her mother's mouth.

When it comes to sweets, Jiang Miaomiao has an idea.

After getting a general idea, Lu Qingyao took her daughter to Old Madam Cui's room.

The old lady leaned against the couch and saw the little girl come in with a clatter.

A smile immediately appeared on his face.

"My dear Miaomiao, come here quickly, let your teacher's wife take a look at you."

Princess Liang and Madam Cui, who were attending to the sick, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the old lady smile.

The old lady's health was affected by anger.

The doctor told her to think about happy things, laugh more, and not to worry too much, so that she could recover faster.

Jiang Miaomiao also put a milk tablet into the old lady's mouth, believing that sweets could cure all unhappiness.

"Madam, eating sweet things will make you feel better!"

The old lady smiled and patted her little head, listening to her sweet little voice, her heart melted.

Sure enough, the bitter taste left by the medicine disappeared, and the aroma of milk and rice filled her taste buds.

"Mmm, delicious. Miaomiao's milk tablets are so sweet."

The food made her feel sweet inside.

At least now my niece has returned safely to my side.

There is still room for improvement.

Princess Liang embraced Xiao Miaomiao.

She said that this child and she got along so well because he was her uncle's little apprentice and their source of joy.

Lu Qingyao greeted Princess Liang, saying, "This humble woman, Lu, greets Your Highness."

“Madam Lu, there’s no need for such formalities. My aunt has told me a lot about you, so we can be considered to be in the same boat.” Princess Liang said, pulling her down to sit.

Looking at the woman before her, Princess Liang saw no trace of the abandoned wife.

His complexion was rosy and he looked radiant.

She raised three children on her own, and she took excellent care of each of them.

She also made her business very successful, turning her husband's hometown into her support system.

This is probably something no one else can match.

Even if they divorce one day, she can still live a comfortable life with her own abilities.

If her two children go on to high school and achieve great success, her good days are yet to come.

None of my uncle's students were bad.

Looking at myself, I come from a prominent family, and in terms of status, I am no less than a county princess or a noblewoman, with a powerful family backing me.

It's humiliating to be bullied like this.

Lu Qingyao didn't know how to comfort him. She couldn't very well do as Xiuxiu suggested and actually break Liang Wang's legs.

She had no choice but to offer her own magic remedy, a scar-removing cream.

Princess Liang gladly accepted.

No woman likes having scars on her body.

Lu Qingyao looked at the scars on her arm and couldn't bear to look at them.

We need to come up with a solution as soon as possible. If we wait until the King of Liang wakes up, we probably won't be able to do anything about him.

Although the Prince of Liang held a prestigious position, he was still a prince with little power or leisure.

The emperor was still somewhat wary of him and did not give him much real power. Even his fiefdom was the closest to the capital, just to keep him under his watchful eye.

Despite their fear, they were still the late emperor's only remaining nephews, unless they had committed some unforgivable crime.

Even the emperor wouldn't do anything to him.

Beating his wife would only damage his reputation, but it wouldn't hurt him in the slightest.

But why would they come to Jiangzhou out of the blue?

If the couple were truly in love, it would be understandable for them to accompany the princess on her visit to relatives. But now it seems they clearly have ulterior motives.

"Your Highness, besides accompanying you on your family visit, does the Prince of Liang have any other business in Jiangzhou?"

"Visiting relatives? He's not here to accompany me on my visit to relatives!" Princess Liang scoffed.

"Last year, the northern region suffered from drought, and Liangzhou experienced a food shortage after winter began. The grain allocated by the court was far from enough. Therefore, we request Your Majesty to come to Jiangzhou to visit my uncle and aunt and to buy grain while you are at it."

Visiting relatives is just a pretext.

Lu Qingyao couldn't understand why the Prince of Liang had to personally go out to buy grain.

However, judging from Princess Liang's expression, she probably doesn't know either.

Jiang Miaomiao stayed for a while before Cui Xingzhou carried her away and took her to see the unconscious Prince Liang.

Jiang Miaomiao was surprised to find that the gossipy Granny Wu was gone.

Furthermore, the maids and guards who used to serve Prince Liang have all disappeared...
