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

"I have come to bother Uncle Chi today for a reason. My grandmother is seriously ill, and we are busy taking care of her. My second brother, in his haste, listened to some nonsense and came to our door to say that he wanted to break off the engagement. This is a violation of family rules, so I have already asked the family to discipline him. I brought him here today for three reasons: first, to apologize to Uncle Chi; second, to check on Miss Chi's illness; and third, to set a wedding date. The marriage between our two families has long been arranged, and it is really not good to delay. Since my grandmother is ill, it would be a good thing to have my second brother's marriage to bring good luck. Therefore, I ask Uncle Chi to allow Miss Chi to marry. The entire Zhenguo General's Mansion will respect and love her and will not allow anyone to bully her."

The words were forceful and the language was precise.

Madam Qiao's words left Chi Yunjing speechless, while Madam Guo beside him looked astonished. How could this be?

Shouldn't they go to their door to continue discussing the annulment of the engagement?

How did it suddenly become a matter of bringing good fortune to the bride?

What about her second sister?

A thousand thoughts rushed to his mind, and with a slightly embarrassed smile, he asked.

"This... the Qiao family's statements are so inconsistent. My husband and I are both confused. Should we break off the engagement or go ahead with the wedding?"

"Please forgive me, Madam Guo, this is a wedding procession."

When Madam Qiao spoke, Qiao Er dared not disobey. Even though he had long harbored resentment towards his future wife, the wound on his back was still throbbing. He wouldn't risk his life and future to defy his sister-in-law.

Therefore, they remained silent.

"Isn't it said that our eldest daughter's birth chart clashes with that of your esteemed matriarch? Wouldn't it be inappropriate to arrange a marriage to ward off bad luck?"

Madam Guo was not willing to give up and continued to pursue the matter relentlessly.

Madam Qiao had a keen eye for the ways of the world. Even though her expression didn't change, she understood what Madam Guo meant. When she thought about the second daughter of Madam Guo in the Chi family, she knew the true meaning behind Madam Guo's words.

So he calmly replied with a forced smile.

"That Taoist priest was spouting nonsense everywhere in order to swindle money. I petitioned His Majesty in the name of the General of the State to arrest this evil Taoist priest. Half a day ago, the Dali Temple said that he had been arrested and brought to justice. I estimate that there will be a result soon. I don't know if he was just talking nonsense on his own or if he was asked to do it by someone else?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Guo's expression became somewhat uncontrollable.

The fact that the sorcerer said this was obviously because she was instructed by someone. Although she did not show herself, if we follow the clues, she will inevitably be implicated.

Over the years, she had always been careful and cautious in her work, but she never expected to stumble here at the last minute. She immediately felt that things were going to get very bad. If the Qiao family were to investigate further, she was afraid she would be in deep trouble.

She has built this business over many years; she can't let it all go to waste.

So he turned to Chi Yunjing and tried to persuade him.

"I see. Then you need not worry, sir. Madam Qiao may not know, but ever since the young general came to say he wanted to break off the engagement, you have been unable to eat or sleep properly, fearing that you would feel guilty towards the deceased Hai sister. Now that things are settled, since the engagement is not being broken off, it is only right to handle the matter carefully. Hai sister passed away early, leaving behind only one child, my eldest daughter, so her marriage cannot be taken lightly. I wonder if Madam Qiao has already set a date?"

"Not yet, I'd like to discuss it with Uncle Chi first."

This Madam Guo truly lived up to her reputation as a woman who had navigated the complexities of the inner quarters of the household. She spoke with a plan in mind, her manner of speaking and her actions were so measured that no one could find fault with her, and then she calmly gave her reply.

"Is that so? If it's about bringing good luck to the old lady, our Chi family will do anything to help. But as you all know, our eldest daughter has been ill for quite some time because of the old lady's illness. In this situation, it might not be appropriate to bring good luck through a wedding. So how about we find a date later in the year? Then you can get married, we can get married, and it will be the end of the year. All three auspicious things will happen at the same time. Maybe the old lady will be better by then and be able to watch her grandson get married. That would be a good thing!"

Chi Yunjing thought it made sense, nodded, and asked a question.

"What you say makes sense, Madam. What is your opinion, Madam Qiao?"

Since the couple was already on their side, Madam Qiao couldn't very well refuse, so she relented and answered.

"Alright, let's set the date around the end of the year. I'll go back and consult a fortune teller to choose an auspicious date. We'll also arrange the betrothal as soon as possible. Uncle Chi, our Qiao family is eagerly awaiting the arrival of our eldest daughter!"

Madam Qiao emphasized the words "eldest daughter" very heavily.

The meaning was self-evident, which made Chi Guiying, who was hiding behind the screen, so angry that she wanted to tear the handkerchief in her hand to shreds to vent her anger.

The Qiao family, what's so great about them!

Why would they come here to humiliate themselves like this? He's just General Qiao, isn't he? They don't want to marry him, and she doesn't want to marry him either!

She refused to believe that after today's beating, her elder sister would have a good time after entering the family. She thought, "Maybe the couple will have a falling out and their lives will be chaotic, which would make them a laughingstock."

He turned and left, his footsteps a little heavier as he walked away.

Qiao Er and Hai Yu were both skilled in martial arts, so their hearing was naturally excellent. But since they were discussing matters in the front hall, who would dare to eavesdrop so openly?

It couldn't possibly be that outrageous eldest daughter of the Chi family, could it?

The two exchanged a glance, their expressions barely concealed. Since Madam Qiao had come all this way, she was naturally unwilling to leave without seeing the main character. So, with permission, she took Qiao Er and Haiyu to Sijin Courtyard.

One of them is her cousin, and the other is her fiancé.

To be honest, even entering the courtyard wasn't a big deal, especially since Madam Qiao and Madam Guo were personally leading the way, and they entered the courtyard in a grand procession.

The medicine was bitter, and after drinking it for almost half a month, Chi Guiwan had long since lost all taste in her mouth.

She wasn't really sick, so she secretly asked Fu Dong to find her some sweet and sour cherry fritters to keep on hand, so she could enjoy them from time to time.

Just as I was enjoying my meal, I suddenly heard a shout from outside.

"Madam Guo has arrived, Madam Qiao has arrived, General Qiao has arrived, and the second son of Marquis Haibo has arrived."

Chi Guiwan was completely bewildered. Why were they all here?

Before she could even swallow the cherry omelet in her mouth, she hurriedly grabbed the warm water cup next to her and gulped it down. She choked and coughed, her face turning red and her neck thick. This scene was witnessed by the people who came in, who assumed that she was really very ill.

For a moment, the Qiao family members and the second young master Haiyu all had complicated expressions.

"What's going on? Miss Chi hasn't been seen at all."

Madam Qiao stepped forward and asked with concern. She had seen Chi Guiwan at the banquet a few times, and in her memory, Chi Guiwan was always full of vigor and arrogant, just like a red-bellied pheasant, full of pride.

She had never seen her so frail and sickly before. When she thought that it was because of the Qiao family, she felt a pang of sympathy for her future sister-in-law. Then she turned around and scolded Qiao Er.

"Aren't you coming over here? Apologize to Miss Chi!"
