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

"So your words became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Although the matter was suppressed, no family that knew the boy was willing to marry their daughter to him anymore, and the reputation of the eldest son of the Marquis of Haibo was ruined."

"Ah."

As Chi Guiwan spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. Looking back now, she realized that she hadn't actually seen anything indecent. It was just that, at the time, the sight of two naked men facing each other was simply indecent to her.

My aunt was pressuring me too much, which is why I said those hurtful things.

"And what about the future? What's going on there?"

"At the time, Princess Changning of the Prince Jin family was also interested in my cousin's marriage. She used to like my cousin a lot, but after learning about this, she hated him even more. So she asked Prince Jin to complain to the Emperor, and my cousin's job was canceled. The Emperor summoned my uncle and directly revoked my cousin's chance to inherit the title. After this incident, my cousin never left the Marquis's mansion again."

……

He Lingyi found it unbelievable after hearing it.

It's terrifying to think that a promising young man could lose everything overnight. No wonder the Marquis of Haibo's family never contacted his mother again after this incident.

Although it wasn't her mother who instigated it, her words certainly dealt a fatal blow to the eldest son!

What could be more painful than being betrayed by a loved one? With a sigh, He Lingyi spoke decisively.

"A grave mistake has been made, and further words are useless. However, a sincere apology, though belated, is due. This is also the first step for Sister Chi to atone for her sins. The eldest son's reputation and future are ruined. If he wants to rebuild, it is probably impossible to stay in Bianzhou. Let's see if we can find another place and start over?"

The suggestion is good, but it's unclear whether it will work.

Having experienced such an event, Chi Guiwan's state of mind is no longer what it used to be.

"You're right, if it's my fault, I have to admit it! I'll go apologize to my older cousin, even if it means kowtowing and begging for forgiveness!"

She's not a bad person; she's just been spoiled and ruined by Madam Guo all these years.

But once her conscience was awakened, she would not shirk her duty, even if it meant being beaten by her uncle, scolded by her aunt, or despised by her older cousin.

Having figured this out, she stopped sitting and immediately sent a letter to the Marquis of Haibo's residence, preparing to visit him the next day to apologize.

In the courtyard of brocade.

Chi Guiwan tried her best to make amends for everything she had done wrong, but Madam Guo and Chi Guiying in Lesheng Courtyard were indifferent to her misdeeds and discussed countermeasures.

"Mother, my eldest sister suddenly turned against us. Could it be that she has sensed something?"

"What do you mean?"

"When Madam Qiao came to our door, she said that the sorcerer had been captured. Such a person is not tough to begin with, and he was probably tortured into confessing long ago. If the Qiao family knows this, the Marquis of Haibo's mansion probably knows it too. Even if there is no conclusive evidence, it is only natural to suspect us."

After listening to her daughter's analysis, Madam Guo also found it to be very reasonable.

But what's done is done, and there's no use dwelling on it now. Right now, we have to support the eldest sister, or we'll be in big trouble.

"Her feud with the Marquis of Haibo's mansion is about to be resolved. If we let those people become her backers again, all our scheming over the years will have been for nothing!"

She leaned close to Madam Guo's ear and whispered something to her for a short while. Chi Guiying's small face was full of scheming, making her look rather repulsive.

Over the years, everything she has painstakingly built has been based on the bloodsucking older sister. If she is no longer allowed to suck blood, where will she go to perform?

Therefore, it is absolutely not permitted.

"Don't worry, Mother will make the arrangements right away. I will definitely not let my eldest daughter's marriage go through with this!"

"Ah."

The next day, Chi Guiwan went to the Marquis of Haibo's residence early in the morning.

He Lingyi did not follow, mainly to save face for the eldest son of the Marquis of Haibo. The fewer people who knew about this matter, the better, otherwise it might add an unnecessary psychological burden to that eldest son.

The girls' school continued as usual, but two girls were absent.

Since Shen Miaoling caused trouble last time, she has not come back. Although Chi Guiwan and He Lingyi have her IOU, they have not made any move for a long time. She once thought that she had escaped a disaster and was even less willing to provoke them.

Chi Guiwan was ill, so Granny Zong did not insist.

When the girls' school ended, it was Shen Shi (3-5 PM). After the noble ladies left in twos and threes, only He Lingyi and Granny Zong remained.

"Sister Chi asked me to tell the nanny that she can come back to continue her studies in the next couple of days. Please forgive me if there were any mistakes in the previous lessons. You can teach her however you wish from now on."

Upon hearing this, Granny Zong was somewhat taken aback.

Although the girls' school was run by the Vice Minister's mansion, in Granny Zong's eyes, the least serious student was none other than Miss Chi. She was always inattentive in class, and only when forced to be serious for a moment did she do so under pressure.

But even with all her effort, she only mastered about 20-30% of it.

"How can this continue?" So, upon hearing this, he replied with deep relief.

"It's good that the young lady has come to her senses. It's already difficult for a woman to make her way in the world. Sometimes being too impulsive isn't a good thing, and she'll suffer the consequences later."

These words struck a chord with He Lingyi.

Yes, she has found Granny Zong's classes quite good these days. They seem to teach only elegant lady-like pursuits such as flower arranging, tea tasting, incense burning, and music, but in reality, they incorporate many life lessons into them.

She had never had such a good opportunity before, so she naturally put her heart into learning it.

“What you say is true, Granny. Your life’s work is condensed in your words, and we have benefited greatly from hearing them.”

"As expected of the granddaughter of the great Confucian scholar He, Miss He is indeed exceptionally insightful. However, compared to the great Confucian scholar, my understanding is inadequate. Please don't laugh at me, Miss He."

Although he spoke modestly, his expression showed great satisfaction with He Lingyi.

She had spent her entire life in the Prince's mansion, experiencing all sorts of ups and downs. She was of retirement age and should have gone back to her hometown to rest long ago. If it weren't for the invitation from Vice Minister Chi, she wouldn't have come.

However, this was largely due to the late Madam Hai. If Madam Hai were still alive, the eldest daughter wouldn't need to learn from her. Madam Hai's teachings on women's education were second to none. With Madam Hai's personal guidance, this eldest daughter of the Chi family wouldn't have turned out the way she is today.

Thinking of the kind-faced but wicked Madam Guo, he felt a sense of disdain.

However, after reminding her several times without seeing the young lady understand, she decided not to "sow discord" any further. For now, things were fine; with a close friend like Miss He by her side, she could discuss matters with her in the future.

We won't suffer too much of a loss.

After a few words of conversation, the two left Rongxin Pavilion.

As she was leaving, Granny Zong seemed to remember something, and then whispered a word of advice to He Lingyi.

“A couple of days ago, I went out to buy some things and happened to run into Caiping, a young lady from Madam Guo’s side, who was out on business. She walked into the side gate of a mansion with a calm expression. I was curious and took a look. It turned out to be the Lü family in Pingyang Lane. If I remember correctly, the Lü family sent their daughter to the palace five years ago. After Lü Caisheng gave birth to the seventh princess, she was promoted to the rank of Cairen. However, she has not had any more children since. The Lü family also has a younger brother. Judging from his age this year, he should be of marriageable age. I heard that their family has some connection with the Vice Minister’s mansion.”

coming!

She knew the Lü family of Pingyang Lane, whom Granny Zong had mentioned, all too well.

Everyone inside had a grudge against her, especially her ruthless and cruel father. If he hadn't been so incapable of fulfilling his responsibilities as a father, she wouldn't have died such a tragic death.

Okay, it's finally here.

This time, she will make every member of the Lü family pay the price they deserve.

With a flick of her eye, she suddenly smiled.

"I understand what Granny Zong means. It seems that Second Sister Chi's good marriage is just around the corner."

"Who says otherwise? To be able to become the aunt of a concubine in the palace is an immense blessing. Who knows when Concubine Lü will give birth to a prince? Promotion is a minor matter; the real fortune will come in the future."

He Lingyi quickly understood the meaning behind Granny Zong's words.

"Thank you, mama."

Granny Zong smiled and patted He Lingyi's hand, saying with satisfaction, "Miss He is indeed intelligent."

In just a few words, He Lingyi had already figured out a way out for Chi Guiying.
