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

Upon entering the flower hall, Old Madam Chi sat in the center, looking around at the two families sitting beside her. She smiled warmly, preserving the dignity of the Vice Minister's mansion. Everyone present was shrewd and did not want to spoil the atmosphere. Therefore, Madam Qin, the wife of the Marquis, and Madam Qiao also chimed in with a few words, and the atmosphere became lively.

While the servants were serving the dishes, Chi Yunjing led Madam Guo to a side room and warned her in a low voice.

"Hmph, look at the trouble you've brought upon yourself! What dares to dream of climbing up to the He family's daughter? It's utterly delusional and overestimating your own abilities. I don't care whether you want this marriage or not, but how you're going to join in the fun with Madam Lü later is up to you. I don't want to become a laughing stock! Especially at this time, the autumn selection is just around the corner, and His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't even have a proper wife yet! If this matter is delayed, hmph, even the entire Vice Minister's mansion wouldn't be enough to compensate for it!"

Chi Yunjing's eyes were full of anger. Such blunt words basically sealed He Lingyi's future. Madam Guo was also surprised. She thought it was true that Miss He came to the house to study, but she didn't expect there to be this reason!

"Does Master mean... that Miss He is destined to become the Crown Prince?"

"Hmph, Second Sister originally had this opportunity too, but you insisted on provoking the Lü family, so you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Guo felt both angry and regretful.

If I had known, I shouldn't have made this move. Not only did I fail to secure the eldest daughter's release, but I also lost the second daughter for nothing. And there's never been any news of a general election from the Eastern Palace in all these years, so why is it suddenly happening...?

Sighing and frustrated, but there was nothing he could do now, so he could only admit defeat.

"Don't worry, sir, I know what to do."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yunjing looked up and let out a long sigh of relief. His eyes went from cold and ruthless to warm and gentle in an instant. Then, with a smile on his face, he went into the flower hall to continue greeting the guests!

Looking at the man who had been by her side for over ten years, Madam Guo felt a sense of helplessness, as if she were looking at flowers through a fog.

With Chi Yunjing's reminder, Madam Guo did not give Lü's mother a chance to speak to He Lingyi from the moment she entered the house. Having managed the inner quarters for many years, she was more than capable of dealing with a half-baked woman.

Therefore, although Lu's mother was unable to have a conversation with He Lingyi, she felt the "sincerity" of the Chi family, and her expression was naturally better than when she arrived, and her attitude softened considerably.

As for Chi Guiying's aloofness in not wanting to say a word to anyone, Madam Guo interpreted it as a young woman's slight reserve.

Having both been young women themselves, Mother Lü understood somewhat.

She would occasionally exchange a few words with him. Although Chi Guiying was unwilling, she could not act wildly in this occasion, so she cooperated with a smile. This behavior did her a good job in the eyes of her mother-in-law.

Regardless, the future daughter-in-law's appearance and family background are impeccable. However, she would be even more satisfied if the dowry were more generous.

On the other side, Qiao Er and Chi Guiwan sat together. Since they were getting married in a few months anyway, and both of them were cheerful and outgoing, they didn't hold back and started chatting.

This conversation actually gave Qiao Er a better impression of Chi Guiwan.

In his view, the young ladies from these powerful families were either shy and reserved or strict and austere, and very few had a cheerful and generous personality like Miss Chi. She was not very proficient in poetry and songs, but she knew a lot about entertainment.

In other families, such a daughter-in-law would probably be considered too "difficult," but the Zhenguo General's Mansion thinks she's perfect!

Therefore, both Madam Qiao and Qiao Er were satisfied with the meal.

As for Chi Guiwan, what pleased her even more was that several of the dishes in today's meal were her favorites. Because she was in a good mood, she ate a whole bowl of rice.

This appetite left Marquis Haibo and his wife, Madam Qin, somewhat amused and exasperated. This girl really had no sense of self-worth and didn't even know to hide her appetite from her future husband's family!

So, phrases like "please excuse my poor appearance" were uttered many times. Even He Lingyi noticed the embarrassment of the Marquis and his wife, but Chi Guiwan was enjoying her meal and didn't care at all.

She smiled indulgently, feeling that her mother was truly happy at that moment.

She hoped that she could continue to be happy like this. As for those who wanted to get involved, she could deal with them herself. She then took a sip of soup, feeling her scumbag father's indistinct gaze, and sneered inwardly.

After dinner, it's time to take a break from today's hustle and bustle.

Qin Shi made an excuse that she wanted to talk to her niece and stayed a little longer, so Madam Qiao could only leave first with Qiao Er. When she left, she said a few words to Chi Guiwan and spoke generously.

"Once the eldest daughter marries into the family, be sure to have the kitchen prepare extra food. Just tell us what you want to eat; we don't have any of those pretentious rules in our household!"

"Really?"

Chi Guiwan's bright eyes amused Madam Qiao. Knowing that her future sister-in-law loved to eat, she knew how to "cater to her tastes."

"Of course it's true. I'll find some more skilled cooks to prepare for the future. Just enjoy the food, and I guarantee no one will say a word, right, second brother?"

"Whatever my sister-in-law says goes!"

Qiao Er smiled and looked at Chi Guiwan. He had heard his grandmother say since he was a child that being able to eat a lot was a blessing. It seemed that he was destined to marry a lucky star.

On one side, they were chatting and laughing. On the other side, Lü Yi, having received a look from his mother, also went up to exchange a few pleasantries with his future wife, Chi Guiying. However, the two were an unwilling pair. One forced a smile, while the other made small talk. After a few words, they stopped talking.

Compared to the bustling activity on the other side, the cold stove is truly impressive.

Not wanting to put her daughter in a difficult position, Madam Guo quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Second Sister's head still hurts a bit when she gets up this morning. Why don't we let her go back and rest first? I'll talk to Madam Lü."

Chi Guiying had long wanted to leave, and upon hearing this, she immediately resigned and departed.

Lü Yi didn't care whether she left or not. She just shifted her position and looked at He Lingyi's back, feeling a desire to chat with her a little more.

However, since a suitable opportunity could not be found, the matter had to be abandoned.

After seeing off Old Madam Chi, Chi Yunjing had important matters to attend to. The Haibohou family accompanied Chi Guiwan to Sijin Courtyard, while He Lingyi made an excuse to go back for a midday rest and also left the flower hall.

After the party ended, only Madam Guo and the Lü family mother and son remained, exchanging pleasantries.

As Lü Yi watched He Lingyi gracefully depart, he regretted that the opportunity was not right. Otherwise, if he could have left an impression on the He family, it would have greatly benefited his future career!

Just now at the banquet, after a few drinks, the wine wasn't intoxicating, but he felt the urge to use the restroom. So he followed the maid and left the flower hall, leaving only Madam Guo and Mother Lü talking more and more intimately.
