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

Now that the entire Vice Minister's residence may reconcile with the Lü family, if the Second Miss is pregnant, it would be a favorable condition for them. However, if she said this directly, she would surely be scolded by Madam Guo. Therefore, she changed her expression and stepped forward with a worried look.

"This concubine greets Madam."

"What are you doing here?" Madam Guo's tone was anything but pleasant. After all, her husband had been staying in her room these past few days, and the two of them hadn't gotten along at all.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhao took a few steps forward, then handed over the box containing the key to the game, saying with a sorrowful expression.

“These days, Master is resting in bed to recover from his injuries, and Second Miss is also busy with many miscellaneous matters. The Old Madam has also fallen ill, and there is no one in charge of the household. Therefore, Master asked me to temporarily take over the management. However, as a concubine who has never seen the world, how can I handle these matters in the inner quarters? I have made mistakes one after another and have been scolded by Master several times. After thinking it over, I think it is better to leave it to Madam to handle. I will just take good care of Master’s health.”

Although Madam Guo was unaware of what was happening outside, she was not stupid.

Once you've tasted that power, how many people would be willing to let go? Aunt Zhao must have a reason behind her actions. Thinking of this, she asked with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

"Is that so? Although you don't know how, there's still the steward at home. He's been serving the master for a long time. With him helping to handle things, what do you have to worry about? Aunt Zhao, could it be that you're up to no good and want me to take the blame for you?"

Aunt Zhao lowered her head, revealing a hint of panic.

This matter must be handed over to save one's life, but Madam Guo is too cautious; she actually guessed it correctly.

He swallowed hard, then knelt down before Madam Guo.

"Madam, you are wise. The steward is aware of everything that has happened in the household these past few days. If you don't believe me, just call him over and ask. Stewarding is not difficult, but managing the servants is. How can a mere concubine with little experience command the old servants in the manor? They all look down on me because I am young and lack confidence. So, while they call me 'concubine' in public, they keep putting off the tasks I've assigned. I am shy and know I am not popular, so I won't try to climb this high branch, lest I fall and hurt myself. If I don't manage the household well and the master is angry, then what am I supposed to do?"

These words were more sincere than before.

Madam Guo believed it to some extent; wasn't Aunt Zhao's current situation exactly the same as when she first married into the family?

Although the original mistress was gone, those cunning old servants kept bringing up the old rules, the old ways, and the old invitations, binding her completely and preventing her from exercising any freedom.

It wasn't until she gave birth to her second daughter that she had the energy and strength to clear out all those people and gradually arrange her own staff, making the courtyard much easier to manage.

Now, Aunt Zhao's name is not right, and there is not enough time to make the arrangements. She has probably also encountered a few obstacles, which is why she has the idea of ​​giving up.

Indeed, she's just a concubine; isn't she just hoping to win over the master's favor?

If we make a series of mistakes and displease the master, wouldn't that be a loss?

Thinking of this, she felt somewhat less apprehensive and asked Aunt Zhao, "Did the master know that you came to transfer power today?"

One sentence hits the nail on the head.

If it were just Aunt Zhao who decided to send it herself, Madam Guo would never accept it. But Aunt Zhao pretended to be embarrassed and replied with a question.

"It was sent by my master, who said that it would be good for you to be more understanding, Madam."

Upon hearing this, Madam Guo finally relaxed completely.

After all, he was her husband's bedmate, and she never imagined that this was actually her husband's scheme. So, after giving Aunt Zhao a few words of advice, she said...

"Since it's the master's order, then I'll accept it. Go back and tell the master that he just needs to take good care of himself and doesn't need to worry about things at home."

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away."

After handing over the hot potato, Aunt Zhao felt relieved. As she left, she looked at the medicine bowl and said something hesitantly.

"I know I shouldn't speak out of turn, but there are some things that Madam may not know. If a woman with a weaker constitution drinks too much cold medicine, it will cause health problems for her childbirth in the future. I had a sister who couldn't have children because of this. I don't mean to curse the second young lady, but please think about the consequences of your actions. I'll take my leave now."

Her words made Madam Guo's hand tremble.

Although the medication she was currently taking was not for contraception, she knew that any medication that could prevent pregnancy would inevitably harm a woman's health, so she was very hesitant.

Hearing Aunt Zhao say this, she turned around and looked at her second sister, who was lying on the bed half-awake and half-asleep, with mixed feelings and an indescribable bitterness.

If we had known today, why bother in the beginning?

But if Madam Guo were a self-reflective person, she wouldn't have been so biased for so many years.

Looking at the pair of keys, I felt an intense loathing for the Lü family mother and son, as well as for the peaceful and secure Sijin Courtyard. Why could they live a carefree life while Biyun Courtyard was miserable and wretched?

Since we're sisters, shouldn't we share both good times and bad?

Now that the house keys are back in her hands, she will definitely settle this score with the Lü family and the eldest daughter of Sijin Courtyard once she has the time!

Then, adjusting her expression and adopting a pained look, she returned to Chi Guiying's side and fed her spoonful by spoonful.

The heatwave is approaching, and the Ghost Festival is just around the corner.

However, the Lü family mother and son were still locked in the woodshed in the backyard, and they were suffering terribly during this period.

In the past, no matter what, we could barely get enough to eat and drink without having to ask for anything. But now, those gatekeepers have become increasingly vicious. We can't even get enough to eat, let alone receive any care.

If Lü Yi hadn't been relatively healthy, he probably wouldn't have survived that high fever.

My lips were terribly chapped, and I felt completely exhausted.

Because of the clothes, it was not very clear what the wound was like, but when Lu's mother got closer, she could vaguely smell a fishy stench.

It's easy to imagine that the wound will only get worse.

Seeing her son like this, she didn't dare say much, and could only comfort him gently, "Shaotong, don't be afraid. We've been away from home for so long, we're bound to leave some clues. I don't believe that the Vice Minister's Mansion can really keep us locked up until we die! Just wait and see when we get out, I'll make sure your sister goes to His Majesty and brings them down!"

At this moment, Lu's mother had no idea that her daughter was pregnant and that their Lu family's chance to turn things around had arrived. So she could only say these words in her heart, hoping to find some comfort in them.

Lu Yi was in pain all over, but after so many days, he was already numb.

Therefore, upon hearing her mother's "well-intentioned lie," she could only force a smile and hope that this pain would end soon.
