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

In a single sentence, the madam of the Marquis's mansion demonstrated her shrewdness.

The words won't come from their mouths, but things can turn out the way they want. The infighting in the inner quarters is nothing more than these methods of using the east wind to refute the west wind.

Qin was curious about He Lingyi's words. The He family had no conflicts between wives and concubines, nor any power struggles, but she was so skilled at these methods of fighting within the household. How could that be?

He looked at He Lingyi, who was not afraid.

Since she dared to come along and offer suggestions, she wasn't afraid of being suspected by the Lady of the Marquis. Therefore, after adjusting her mindset, she returned to her initial composure and spoke to Madam Qin with perfect discretion, while also showing a degree of respect for her elders.

Lady Qin, the wife of the Marquis, has managed the household for many years and can see through people's true nature.

Therefore, one can sense that He Lingyi is of pure heart. However, she is much more composed and meticulous in her dealings with others than her own niece. As expected of a woman from a prominent family, it is clear that she has been raised very well!

Considering his current age, one can't help but feel that this Miss He in front of him is truly a perfect match.

So his smile became even more genuine.

After having dinner at the Marquis of Haibo's residence, the two returned to the Vice Minister's residence before nightfall.

As soon as she entered Sijin Courtyard, she saw the maid Fudong smiling as if she had eaten three pounds of honey dates. Chi Guiwan asked a question out of curiosity.

"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

With her eyes crinkled in a smile, she looked as if she had finally gotten her revenge, and then recounted what had happened after the two of them left the manor that day.

"I didn't see the young lady, but when the second young lady came back, her hair and clothes were all messed up, and her face looked like it had been scratched. The maids and servants of Biyun Courtyard protected her and wouldn't let the servants see. But I'm good at fighting, so I chose a good spot and saw very clearly. It was obvious from her appearance that she had been in a fight, but I don't know who she fought with."

"Who else could it be? It's like dogs fighting each other. I bet it was someone who came to collect a debt and got into a fight with Shen Miaoling."

He Lingyi made a gloating joke, and Chi Guiwan immediately became excited.

"Three thousand taels is enough to start a fight? Hmph, weren't you two always so close? Calling each other 'Second Sister Chi' and 'Sister Shen' all the time, what a joke!"

"Who says it isn't?"

The maid Fudong added that she, like her mistress, was happy to watch the drama of villains fighting amongst themselves, but the maid Qianchun beside her was not so optimistic.

"Girl, there's an old saying that if you chase a dog into a dead end, it will surely turn on you. Now that they've fallen out, they'll probably be even more ruthless towards us. We'd better be careful."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Chi Guiwan felt annoyed that she had been interrupted while she was still in the middle of something. He Lingyi thought that Qianchun's concern was normal, so she spoke up for her.

"Better safe than sorry. Miss Qianchun's words have reminded me. Sister Chi, isn't the Qixi Festival just a few days away? Didn't the Qiao family say they would come to present betrothal gifts then? Just watch, the Vice Minister's mansion will be lively again."

Chi Guiwan was completely bewildered by her words. What kind of excitement could there be in a mere betrothal ceremony? It was nothing more than Madam Guo and her second sister making a few sarcastic remarks to her. Therefore, she asked curiously.

"what happens?"

"It's just a guess, Sister Chi, you don't need to take it to heart."

Seeing her mother's puzzled look, He Lingyi did not tell her directly that in her previous life, her mother's innocence was ruined by her scumbag father on the Qixi Festival. After being rejected by her betrothal and losing her innocence, her mother had no choice but to hastily marry into the Lü family.

After that, I lived a life of enduring grievances and making do!

Madam Guo and Chi Guiying were quite shrewd; they quickly arranged her marriage, and six months later, she married into the Zhenguo General's Mansion in a grand ceremony, a stark contrast to her mother's hasty wedding.

This time, she'll make Chi Guiying experience the pain of losing her virginity before marriage! She'll let her taste the humiliation of being looked down upon and criticized when she marries!

With a plan in mind, she chatted with Chi Guiwan for a few minutes before returning to her residence, Hanxuexuan.

As they passed by Biyun Courtyard, where Chi Guiying was, they heard a commotion coming from inside, with screams mixed with curses. He Lingyi snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain.

Chi Guiying, this is only the beginning, and you can't even handle it?

The real show hasn't even started yet!

The wind passes without leaving a trace, and the summer trees remain lush and green.

July arrived in the blink of an eye. These past few days, Chi Guiying had not attended classes at the girls' school, and the reason she gave Granny Zong for leave was that she was sick.

As for Shen Miaoling, she dropped out of school. Without these two troublemakers, the classroom became much quieter.

Granny Zong has been teaching embroidery techniques for the past few days, which is what Chi Guiwan finds most troublesome. Looking at her relatively slender fingers, she doesn't know why they're not sharp enough. Her mind is full of good ideas, but every time she puts a needle to the ground, she seems slow and clumsy, so the things she embroiders are not presentable.

But compared to before, my attitude has become much more correct. Even though I started from a low point and couldn't keep up, I tried my best to digest it myself.

Inside Rongxin Pavilion, everyone held a round fan with a silk surface, embroidering their favorite patterns.

The color scheme, stitching technique, size, and layout were all carefully considered. The best work was done by Miss Wang, who was famous for her needlework. Her embroidered butterflies flying in pairs were so lifelike that even Granny Zong nodded in approval.

"Not bad, it would be even more outstanding if the stitches in this position were a little finer."

"Thank you for your guidance, Granny."

Although Miss Wang spoke humbly, she couldn't hide her smugness, especially when she glanced at Chi Guiwan next to her, whose embroidery was still a mess after an hour, she felt incredibly pleased.

So what if she has a mother from a noble family? She can't compare to the virtues, appearance, speech, skills, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery, hairpins, and wisdom required of a woman. She was just lucky to marry into the Zhenguo General's Mansion. Thinking of this, although she didn't say it out loud, her disdain for Chi Guiwan never diminished.

Granny Zong walked up to Chi Guiwan, looked at the rather unsightly embroidery, frowned but didn't say anything directly, only pointing out a few places to add.

"Take your time. Embroidery is not something that can be mastered overnight. Only with a calm mind can one achieve great success."

"Yes, Mammy."

In the past, Chi Guiwan would probably have given up long ago, but now, with He Lingyi's subtle guidance, her patience and temperament have improved a lot. She used scissors to pick out the messy parts and continued to practice quietly.

He Lingyi, who was sitting by the window, was carefully embroidering the silk fabric. At first glance, it didn't look very good, but an expert like Granny Zong was surprised when she saw it. She picked it up and looked at it carefully before asking questions.

"Miss He's embroidery technique is truly rare. Is it unique to Nanzhou?"

"Please excuse my poor skills, Granny. There used to be an embroiderer in our family who was a master of embroidery in Nanzhou. I studied under her for a few years, so I know a little about it. This embroidery technique is indeed unique to Nanzhou. It is called 'misaligned embroidery needle.' It involves splitting the silk thread into sixteen parts and then kneading them together with other silk threads to embroider them together. This makes it look more delicate and lifelike."

Granny Zong nodded. No wonder.

"As expected of a family of great scholars, they are exceptionally attentive to the upbringing of their children. They even managed to invite Da Yi to their home to work as an embroiderer. That's truly impressive! This old servant has nothing left to teach Miss He about embroidery, but when I have some free time, I'd like to ask you for some pointers."

"You're too kind, Granny. I will certainly answer all your questions without reservation."

He Lingyi is truly humble. Even though the Lü Yan inside her knows nothing, whenever she closes her eyes and concentrates, many of the original body's skills can appear from her memory, and she only needs to follow along.

Only after comparing them did I realize that my grandmother and father's so-called "pampering" of me back then was nothing more than an attempt to spoil me into an ignorant and incompetent person.

It's really ridiculous.
