Teaming up with her mother to take revenge on the scumbags! The Crown Princess becomes the darling o

"Second sister? What brings her here?"

"They said they wanted to add to your dowry, and they brought a box and a trunk. I couldn't stop them."

Chi Guiying's reasoning was so good that even Granny Zong and Granny Nian couldn't refuse. So, after calmly nodding to Chi Guiwan, she had no choice but to have Fudong invite her in.

The two sisters hadn't seen each other for several months. They used to be noble ladies in the Vice Minister's mansion, but now there was a huge difference between them. One was the second young mistress of the General of the State's mansion, and the other was the young mistress of the Lü family.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at the liveliness and energy in their eyes is enough to tell that their lives are worlds apart.

Compared to Chi Guiwan's "ordinary" appearance, Chi Guiying, who came to pay her respects today, had dressed up quite nicely.

She specially wore a wide-sleeved silk dress embroidered with twin lotus flowers, and covered it with a goose-yellow rabbit fur brocade cloak. Although her hair was styled in a woman's bun, it was adorned with several jeweled hairpins and hair ornaments, making her look extremely rich and noble.

It's clear that she wants everyone to know that she's doing well.

However, apart from Granny Nian, whom she had never met before, everyone else in the room was an old acquaintance of hers, making this action seem rather deliberate.

Originally, Chi Guiying's eyes were filled with pride, but as soon as she entered the door, she saw her eldest sister who was about to get married, and her whole demeanor was completely different from before.

Granny Zong and an old nanny she didn't recognize stood beside her like guardians. Chi Guiying was slightly taken aback, but she couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

They put on a show of strength, but still followed the rules and bowed respectfully.

"Ying'er greets elder sister."

"Don't stand on ceremony, we're all family."

"Family" is an easier said than done. Since her marriage, she only saw her eldest sister once, on the day she got married, and they haven't had any contact since. How can she be considered family?

If they were truly family, they wouldn't have stood by and watched their mother suffer such torment without saying a word.

If they were truly family, they wouldn't have let her father abandon her without making a statement.

She snorted coldly, using her handkerchief to conceal the jealousy in her eyes, but Granny Nian was no ordinary person; such petty tricks were no match for her. So she didn't hold back and spoke directly.

"Young lady, the people from the Imperial Observatory have predicted that you should not meet too many people before your wedding. So, Madam Lü, please speak quickly. If you delay, it will affect both sides."

These words were practically urging Chi Guiying to leave quickly. She suffered mistreatment at her husband's family home and at her parents' home as well, but those who caused her this mistreatment were all people she couldn't afford to offend. Now that she saw a mere nanny bullying her at will, how could she tolerate her pointing fingers at her!

His eyes sharpened, and then he spoke.

"You old hag, you have quite the nerve, always trying to intimidate people by threatening them with the Imperial Observatory. What? My elder sister and I haven't seen each other for days, and I can't even exchange a word with her?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Nian replied with neither servility nor arrogance.

“Madam Lü is overthinking it. When I was working at the East Palace, I never thought of such a thing, let alone the eldest daughter. However, the Director of the Astronomical Bureau once said that the eldest daughter has a special destiny. If we do not heed the predictions, the weaker one may suffer some misfortune. I have been watching closely, and the weaker one cannot be the eldest daughter, so… But if Madam Lü is not afraid, then I am not afraid either.”

These words left Chi Guiying somewhat embarrassed.

While she was angry, her eyes suddenly reddened. She was truly wronged this time, so she looked at Chi Guiwan and said coldly.

"Elder sister, I came here out of kindness to help you with your dowry. Am I really going to let this old woman trample on my good intentions? Does she really have no regard for the sisterly bond between us?"

Chi Guiwan originally felt sorry for her second younger sister, but Granny Nian was somewhat hostile towards her.

But after all that had happened, and with Lingyi constantly reminding her, if she still treated sincerity like worthless weeds, then she truly didn't deserve the kindness of so many people. So she gave Chi Guiying an unfriendly look and then said...

“Nan Mama is a nanny from the Eastern Palace. My aunt specially invited her to teach me so that I would know all the rules after I get married. Her words are like those of Zong Mama, which are golden rules to me. Since she said that the Imperial Observatory has something to say, then it has something to say. It is a good thing that my second sister is coming to add to my dowry, but if she causes trouble with the people around me, then it will not be interesting, will it?”

After not seeing her for so long, Chi Guiying never expected that her older sister had become so quick-witted.

Not only did she manage to protect those around her, but she also gave herself a sharp rebuke, leaving her feeling somewhat resentful. Why did she get all the good things? The thought of all the women in her household made her incredibly angry.

As a result, their words became a bit more impolite.

"It seems that you look down on me, elder sister. Well, you married into a prestigious family, while I married into a family of scum. I wonder if you feel scared in the dead of night? You seem to have all the good fortune in the world. I really don't know if your fate can handle it!"

Upon hearing this, not only Chi Guiwan, but also her maids Qianchun and Fudong, who were by her side, were somewhat unhappy. Fudong, in particular, was quick-witted and immediately retorted.

"What are you saying, Madam Lü? Wasn't this excellent marriage arranged for you by your husband and wife? How could it be considered filthy? Besides, our young lady is exceptionally fortunate; after all, she has never intended to harm anyone!"

"you!"

"You lowly brat, how dare you speak to me?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Guiwan couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly slammed her hand on the table, speaking sternly.

"Chi Guiying, watch your mouth. Who are you calling a slut?"

"What, is my eldest sister going to beat me up? Fine, I'll see how this soon-to-be-married Madam Qiao bullies her younger sister from her own family. If word gets out, don't you think the Qiao family will be disgraced?"

Chi Guiwan really wanted to use the whip in her hand to teach her second sister a lesson for her sharp tongue, but she was stopped by Granny Zong next to her just as she was about to get angry.

Granny Zong was no stranger; she had seen many instances of Chi Guiying provoking Chi Guiwan, so she calmly spoke up.

"Why bother, Madam Lü? Provoking the eldest daughter won't do you any good. It will only damage the reputations of both of you. Haven't people been laughing at the Vice Minister's mansion enough these days? Why add another layer of trouble? Whether you live well or not in the Lü family is up to your own future. If you really don't want to live here, just get a divorce. What does it have to do with the eldest daughter? Instead of saying these things here, you should go visit the old lady more often. Perhaps she can persuade Vice Minister Chi to let you get what you want."
