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

Qiao Er reluctantly stepped forward, clasped his hands in a respectful bow to Chi Guiwan, his expression serious but his tone not forced.

“Miss Chi, I am deeply grateful for my grandmother’s kindness. It was indeed my foolishness to break off the engagement before. Please do not hold it against me. The marriage between our two families was arranged long ago and there is no possibility of change. Please rest assured, Miss Chi.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Haiyu stepped forward.

Haiyu hadn't seen his cousin since she ruined his brother's future three years ago. Now, she seemed to have lost her former smugness and become quite gloomy. Haiyu sighed inwardly.

Indeed, only after experiencing loss can one truly understand how hard-won something is.

"Father asked me to tell my cousin that no matter what, we are all family. When you recover, please visit the Marquis's residence. Mother has prepared some things to add to your dowry."

Uncle, Aunt...

Chi Guiwan felt extremely ashamed at this moment. Her mother had passed away early, so her uncle and aunt always worried about her and would often take her to stay at the Marquis's mansion for a while, fearing that she would be bullied at home after losing her mother.

But how did she repay those who were so kind to her?

Not only did he ignore advice, but he also kept causing trouble. He ruined his cousin's reputation and future just because of a few words of encouragement from others. He really is a terrible person!

The tears flowed from the heart, and for a moment I didn't know how to begin speaking.

Madam Guo watched coldly from the sidelines. This move was truly a misstep. Not only did it fail to annul the engagement, but it also allowed her eldest daughter to re-establish contact with the Marquis of Haibo's mansion.

The results of several years of hard work were gone in an instant. How could she not be angry?

But when she looked around the room and at the people, they were still the same as before. So she figured this was probably just a fluke. Otherwise, if this woman were really so cunning, how could she have controlled her for over a decade?

So she calmed down and put on a loving mother's expression again.

The arrival of the Qiao family relieved Chi Guiwan's current predicament, and she "gradually" recovered as a result. She spent the entire month of May recuperating, thus avoiding the heat wave.

That afternoon, Chi Guiwan had just woken up and was changing her clothes when she heard a maid's voice outside, "Miss, Miss He has arrived."

Hearing that He Lingyi was coming, Chi Guiwan's face lit up with a radiant glow.

"Please."

Now she is truly convinced of He Lingyi's greatness. In all her years, the only time she turned her life around was under He Lingyi's guidance. How could Chi Guiwan not admire her?

When He Lingyi entered the room, she saw her mother's beaming smile and felt happy as well.

During her convalescence, many tonics were sent to her room, so her mother's complexion, which was originally somewhat weak, has now improved significantly. It is fair and rosy, and has a radiant glow like a freshly peeled egg, making people feel happy just by looking at her.

She used to be a bit plump, but she's lost some weight these days because she's been sick.

The clothes were a bit loose, but the material was of excellent quality. As soon as she came in, her mother quickly took her hand and said.

“You’ve come at just the right time. I’ll have the embroiderer come over and make some summer clothes for you. You haven’t had any new clothes since you came to our house, have you?”

The He family was not poor, but they were not rolling in money either.

So she had no shortage of clothes for the seasons, but not as extravagant as her mother, who changed them every year. Therefore, He Lingyi smiled and accepted whatever came her way.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, thank you in advance, Sister Chi."

"It's just a few clothes. If you're going to be polite to me, that would be too formal."

When the Marquis of Hai married off his daughter, he brought a huge dowry. After Lady Hai died, the old Marquis of Hai personally went to her house to settle the accounts and ensure that everything was returned to his mother's name before he was satisfied.

Therefore, the mother lacked nothing, especially money.

Even if she were to reincarnate three more times, it would be enough for her, so naturally she would be generous with her spending.

Looking at her mother's charming appearance and naive personality, He Lingyi felt somewhat helpless. She hoped that her mother could live such a free and easy life, but she also wanted her to be more shrewd, at least so that she would know how to deal with bad people.

After sitting down for a short while, just as the tea was served, the embroiderers arrived.

This time, Mother invited the famous Ning'an Embroidery Workshop in Bianzhou City. The head of the workshop was Jin Xiu Niang, the best embroiderer in the shop. Her needlework was priceless and ordinary people could not hire her.

But over the years, her mother had spent a lot of money on their embroidery workshop, so Jin Xiuniang was happy to serve such a generous benefactor herself.

"Jin Qiao'er has met Miss Chi and Miss He."

She was about thirty years old and dressed as a young married woman. She wore well-tailored clothes with an unremarkable pattern, but they accentuated her slightly plump figure and gave her a charming look.

He Lingyi had a slight impression of her. He remembered that when he was young, his clothes were made by this Jin Xiuniang. But when he grew up, he wore ready-made clothes. Later, he couldn't even get enough to eat, so how could he make clothes?

Naturally, he never saw Jin Xiuniang again.

Upon seeing her for the first time, He Lingyi felt as if she had been in another world. Jin Xiuniang found it strange, since it was clearly the first time she had met this Miss He, so why did she have the expression of an old friend in her eyes?

Businessmen are always sweet-talking and warm-hearted, so while tailoring the clothes, they kept praising the two women, sometimes saying how graceful their figures were, sometimes how delicate their skin was, always showering them with compliments without offending anyone.

"Pick out the best fabrics and make several outfits for my friend. Price doesn't matter, but they must be stunning! This is my thank-you gift to her, so I can't be careless, understand?"

"Don't worry, young lady. I can't guarantee anything else, but you can rest assured about the fabric for the clothes. It will be at most a month before the lotus flowers bloom in summer, and you two will be amazed by the beauty of Bianzhou!"

He Lingyi smiled; this Jin Xiuniang was as sweet-talking as ever, just like she had been for decades.

Before I could even pack my things, more people came in from outside.

"What a lively scene! I've stumbled upon it all! Oh, isn't this Jin Xiuniang? Here to make clothes for the eldest sister again?"

As they were talking, Madam Guo arrived with Chi Guiying.

Behind him was a man of medium age, whose appearance revealed him to be Madam Guo's son, Chi Guizhao, the only male heir of the Vice Minister's residence.

With phoenix eyes and a tall, handsome face, he was slender but still possessed the air of a young master. Following behind Madam Guo, he was almost taller than his mother, yet he didn't seem particularly remarkable.

Perhaps it was because He Lingyi had a preconceived notion, but she had never benefited from this uncle's kindness. Once, when she was hungry, she took a few pieces of bread at home to fill her stomach, and he said something sarcastic next to her.

"She loves sweets so much at such a young age; she'll get so fat she'll be unrecognizable later on!"

This single sentence dealt a blow to He Lingyi, who was still young at the time, and she would feel guilty every time she ate a pancake.
