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

Devastated by the triple blow, Madam Guo couldn't even cry.

Watching her husband leave so heartlessly, both she and Chi Guiying knew this time that there was no hope of recovery. The mother and daughter hugged each other, trembling and crying bitterly. For a moment, they thought it would be better to just die.

Having enjoyed such a glorious career for so many years, would the two of them be so easily persuaded to compromise?

After wiping away her tears, Madam Guo looked at her young lady with a firm gaze and assured her, "Second sister, don't worry, everything is not settled yet, we still have a chance. If the marriage is arranged, then it is arranged. I don't believe that eldest sister can actually get married!"

"But Mother, what other options do you have?"

"It's best not to cause any more trouble right now, let's keep things quiet for a while. Anyway, her marriage is still more than half a year away. If we really want to find fault, we won't have trouble making a move!"

While comforting her, Madam Guo was also silently giving herself some psychological encouragement.

Actually, Madam Guo might not have any ideas at all, but it would be very troublesome to lose her composure at this time, so it's best to stay calm!

"Mother, your daughter is counting on you!"

Chi Guiying cried uncontrollably, and Madam Guo also felt surrounded by enemies. Looking at Caiping, who was barely breathing, she could only make arrangements.

"Send him to the estate to recuperate first. Don't let him linger around the master these days, or his life might be in danger!"

Having managed the household affairs of the Vice Minister's residence for many years, she still had some trusted confidants. The servants who had just dragged Caiping in nodded after hearing this and left with the half-dead Caiping.

The farce subsided, and the music hall became quiet.

However, the two newly arrived concubines were not well-behaved. One was surnamed Zhao and the other was surnamed Bai. Both were beautiful and had been kept as courtesans in the mansion for many years. They naturally had many ways to seduce the men.

Therefore, after only a few days in the manor, he had already won the favor of Chi Yunjing.

Not only did he go straight to the Linglong Courtyard where the two women resided after court, but he also added a considerable amount of allowance to them from the public funds. For a time, the servants in the Vice Minister's residence were all disrespectful to these two new concubines.

Even Madam Guo's confidants avoided her sharp edge and dared not confront her directly.

With Linglong Courtyard keeping her in check, Madam Guo really didn't have much time to scheme against Chi Guiwan, and these days were the most relaxed time for Chi Guiwan in the mansion.

In her spare time, Chi Guiwan thought that her father really knew how to enjoy the blessings of having multiple wives. He was not young anymore, yet he was still thinking about these romantic affairs!

But as a daughter, she couldn't say much. She simply had her maid, Qianchun, pick out two pieces of brightly colored cloth from the storeroom and send them over as a gift to celebrate the new concubine's arrival in the household.

"Sister Xiuzhi said that Lesheng Courtyard has been quite lively lately. When the two concubines were serving tea, they were slightly provocative to Madam Guo, but she tolerated it. On the contrary, the second young lady made a scene. When the master heard about it, he immediately placed the second young lady under house arrest. She stayed at the two concubines' place for several days in a row. It was obvious that she was deliberately trying to anger Madam Guo."

As she said this, the maid Fudong's eyebrows and eyes twitched wildly, and she seemed to want to act out the scene vividly.

Chi Guiwan, He Lingyi, and Qianchun, who was serving her, laughed so hard they were doubled over. Finally, she added, feeling relieved.

"It's time for the second young lady to taste this kind of bitterness, so that from childhood to adulthood, she and Madam Guo will stop instigating the master to confine our young lady to her quarters countless times, and always blaming our young lady for everything, humph!"

Fu Dong was straightforward and said many things to He Lingyi without treating her like an outsider. Qian Chun, on the other hand, was much more composed and quickly served tea and snacks to smooth things over.

"This girl is usually quite talkative, so please don't take offense, Miss He. I'll talk to her properly later!"

“Miss Fudong is quick-witted and outspoken, a rare quality. It’s alright.”

He Lingyi replied with a smile, and then reminded him.

"Although Minister Chi has made a decision on this matter, no one can say for sure what will happen until the very last moment. Eldest sister, you still need to be careful, especially with the people in Madam Guo's courtyard. Be careful with whatever is sent."

Chi Guiwan shared the same idea; now that she knew what the other person was thinking, she was certainly not stupid.

"Don't worry, even if I'm not careful, Qianchun will be more attentive."

"Miss He, rest assured, I will take good care of you."

They exchanged a smile; years of companionship had deepened their bond, making it even stronger than that of sisters, and mutual trust was only natural.

We returned to the tea drinking and chatted about everyday things.

The courtyard of Sijin rarely offers a moment of peace, but storms are always coming, and they only have a brief respite.

Two days later, the Lü family came to visit.

When they learned that the marriage had been changed from the eldest daughter to the second daughter, both Lu's mother and Lu Yi were somewhat taken aback. Although they were both daughters of the Chi family, the support from their maternal uncle's family was quite different.

One was the Marquis of Haibo's mansion, and the other was the Sima's mansion in Qingzhou. It was obvious which one to choose, not to mention the huge dowry that would accompany them. Therefore, Mother Lü was very dissatisfied.

"The Vice Minister is quite the schemer, exchanging fish eyes for pearls. Does he think our Lü family is weak and easy to bully?"

Chi Yunjing had been an official for many years and had seen all kinds of occasions.

Therefore, he didn't care about what his mother said, and calmly took a sip of tea before speaking.

"They are all my legitimate daughters, so how can you say they are different from each other? When Madam Lü came to talk about the old marriage alliance, I really didn't remember. I only found out after asking my mother that this marriage was arranged for our generation. Brother Lü has passed away, so the marriage should have been canceled long ago. But since Madam Lü has come to us, we are willing to take responsibility for the old agreement. However, my eldest daughter is already engaged, so it is difficult to agree to another marriage. My second daughter is not yet of marriageable age, so she can marry into the Lü family. But if Madam Lü doesn't approve, then there is nothing I can do. If all else fails, we can report it to the authorities and see how they decide. I will accept whatever they say."

Chi Yunjing's calm and composed demeanor made Lü's mother and Lü Yi feel somewhat embarrassed.

Indeed, when this marriage was arranged, there was no mention of an indefinite continuation. The people who came to them were just using fabricated excuses. At the time, Madam Guo had solemnly promised that they would definitely be able to marry their eldest daughter, which is why they came.

Now that he's marrying the second daughter, what are Madam Guo's plans?

"Where is Madam Guo? Why hasn't she come?"

"Madam is ill and resting in the courtyard. As for the marriage of our children, I can still make the decisions. Madam Lü, please rest assured."

His words were firm and ruthless, leaving even Lü's mother unable to respond.

"This matter is abrupt. I will give you a few days to think it over. If you are willing to make a decision, then she will be the second daughter of the family. If you are not willing, then we shall meet at the government office."

Lü Yi and his mother exchanged a glance, both considering the feasibility of marrying the second daughter.

Although his maternal family was somewhat weak, she was still a young lady from the Vice Minister's mansion, so it wasn't a bad thing for him. Besides, they were related by marriage, and since they were now family, they could naturally have a say in each other's affairs.

At that time, both the Marquis of Haibo's mansion and the General of the State's mansion could be of help, so that the situation of the elder sister in the palace could be more comfortable. Therefore, both Mother Lü and Lü Yi showed their willingness to make friends and nodded in agreement.

"We won't go to the government offices. We'll all be family from now on, and it's not good to cause a big fuss. Second Miss it is. It's good that Vice Minister Chi can make the decision. This is my son's birth chart. We've come today to take the second young lady's birth chart with us. We'll come to your door on the appointed day!"

"That's easy, butler. Go and get Second Sister's birth date and time."

"Yes, sir."

Soon, the two sides exchanged birth dates and times, and the marriage was considered to be verbally agreed upon. However, the betrothal gifts were still required. However, the Lü family could not afford much in terms of betrothal gifts. Chi Yunjing was not after these gifts, so he generously agreed.

After receiving the betrothal gifts, the Lü family mother and son left the Vice Minister's residence.

As he left, Lü Yi thought of the young lady Chi Guiwan he had met at the gate that day. He had thought it was her, but unexpectedly she had become his sister-in-law. It was truly a wonderful coincidence.

When the news of the exchange of birth certificates reached Chi Guiying's ears, she made a scene again. Unfortunately, no one paid attention this time. Chi Yunjing continued to stay in the exquisite courtyard with his two beautiful concubines, ignoring Madam Guo.
