Chapter 60 The Chi Family's Schemes
Sad, sigh.
During her time at the Marquis's residence, her aunt was so busy she was dizzy, but she never said anything like that to her. Instead, she worried that she might not have done something well enough and that her husband's family would laugh at her in the future.
But she used to be so bad at judging people.
Good intentions are often misunderstood, while bad people are cherished.
Her eyes revealed her disillusionment with the Chi family, but she concealed it well, preventing Old Madam Chi from noticing anything amiss, and then she spoke.
“Grandmother is right, but Aunt said that although the Zhenguo General’s Mansion is a military family, because Madam Qiao comes from the prestigious Kong family, the rules and etiquette are very complicated. We can’t be frugal, lest we make a fool of ourselves in front of them. So it will take a while longer.”
"Is that so? Well then, since the marriage is settled, it will bring honor to our Vice Minister's residence. Let's stay a few more days then."
Words can be sweet words, but they can also be swords.
At this moment, Chi Guiwan was able to distinguish between good and evil, and therefore could understand what she was hearing.
"The old lady is so lucky. She will marry off two of her granddaughters this year, and she will be holding her great-grandson next year. It's truly enviable."
The woman who came to flatter them was a lady in her forties or fifties, who was a family member of Chi Yunjing's subordinates. Since Madam Guo was not present, the only person they could praise was Old Madam Chi. Therefore, as soon as they arrived, they "squeezed out" Chi Guiwan and He Lingyi.
They took the opportunity to leave the backyard and head to the small garden for some fresh air.
Less than a month later, things in the mansion had begun to change. Chi Guiwan couldn't say whether she liked it or not, but her sense of unfamiliarity was growing day by day.
“I’m always afraid to come to this place. I feel like I have to be careful when I talk to everyone, otherwise I might be in trouble. It’s better to stay at my uncle’s house. Even if I say something wrong, it doesn’t matter, and no one will act like this.”
He Lingyi felt a pang of heartache seeing her mother's sighing and helpless expression.
But this is only the beginning!
Chi Guiying's hard times have only just begun. If her mother were to see through the ugly faces of this family, it would probably take quite some time.
"Sister Chi, don't overthink it. Just go back to the Marquis's residence later. But would you still like to come for the three-day homecoming?"
Chi Guiwan shook her head firmly. She knew how unwilling Chi Guiying was to marry when she saw the stern face on Chi Guiying's face during the wedding ceremony.
"When my mother went to Sijin Courtyard to ask me for my dowry, she kept saying that my second sister was suffering for me and for the family. I'm afraid these words have long been planted in her heart. Anyway, after marriage, we will each stay in our husbands' families and there will not be many opportunities to see each other in the future. It is better not to have any contact with each other. To be honest, I am afraid of her. She can always provoke me with a few words and make me look bad in front of everyone."
When Chi Guiwan said this, there was a deep sense of powerlessness in her voice.
"Before I was married, I only had to lose face myself. But if I lose face in the future, then the General of the State, the Marquis of Haibo, the Vice Minister's Mansion and I will all lose face together. So it's better to avoid getting involved."
He Lingyi stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, her eyes full of encouragement.
"Sister Chi is straightforward and interesting. If she really got to know you well, she wouldn't care about these things. If you lose your original innocence and carefree spirit because of these things like saving face, that would be truly pathetic. Think about those women in the inner quarters. Haven't they imprisoned themselves step by step like this?"
"is it?"
"Of course, there are countless well-mannered young ladies in the world, but there is only one Sister Chi, isn't there?"
These words gave Chi Guiwan immense confidence, and she was almost moved to tears. She grabbed He Lingyi's hand and said...
"You are truly a fairy sent to my side by God. Without your comforting words, I don't know what would have become of me!"
"Don't worry, Sister Chi, I'll always be by your side." Until God takes away this blessing!
He Lingyi only thought the second half of the sentence to herself, but her eyes showed her deep affection and concern for her mother.
Another round of firecrackers went off, and the Lü family members smoothly took Chi Guiying and everything in her room away, including forty-eight loads of dowry and more than a dozen maids, servants, and other maids and servants.
She sat in a bright red sedan chair, dressed in a festive wedding gown.
Chi Guiying felt no excitement or agitation whatsoever; her mind was filled with the scene of visiting her mother that morning!
In less than half a month, my mother had become skin and bones.
The blood-soaked cloth wrapped around his head and the deep hollows on both sides of his cheeks made him look like a living dead.
Therefore, they had to keep her alive, so there was still the gurgling sound of the medicine stove in Madam Guo's courtyard. But Chi Guiying knew that once she left, her mother probably wouldn't have many good days left.
It's August now, and the weather is still quite cool.
As winter approached, given her mother's health, she knew she wouldn't survive, so she had to find a way to save her!
If she stays in the Vice Minister's residence, she will definitely be a thorn in Aunt Zhao's side. The best course of action now is either for her to take her to the Lü family for care, or to send her to the estate to recuperate. Although her father is heartless, he still gave her the estate he promised.
Therefore, at this moment, Chi Guiying only had one thought in mind: to save her mother. As for her younger brother, he was, after all, the only son of the Chi family, and should be able to manage for a while.
Tears streamed down her cheeks. She couldn't understand how things had suddenly turned so badly for her and her daughter, who had been living such a glamorous life just half a year ago.
The wind blew past the bridal sedan chair, just as it passed by Fenghe Residence.
The aroma of their freshly baked milk pastries naturally wafted over, and upon smelling this familiar scent, Chi Guiying's face began to contort in a grotesque expression.
Yes, it all started when the eldest sister became close to He Lingyi, didn't it?
The mother and daughter were wrong in everything they said and did, compounding their mistakes, which led to their current miserable state.
Isn't her current marriage to the Lü family a result of her elder sister avoiding the Qiao family's annulment of the engagement? Hmph, what a huge joke!
Why is it that older sisters can live a carefree life while younger sisters suffer so much?
Big sister, just you wait.
The suffering I endure today, you will surely repay tenfold in the future!
Her nails, coated with cinnabar, dug into her flesh without her noticing. Beneath the veil covering her face, her expression grew increasingly ferocious.
The Lü family, too, was adorned with red and colorful decorations.
After a period of recuperation, the mother and son of the Lü family looked much better than when they first returned from the Vice Minister's residence. In addition, with the arrival of good news, their faces were filled with joy.
Mother Lü looked down on her daughter-in-law, Chi Guiying.
Only after the forty-eight loads of dowry that accompanied her entered the mansion did her expression ease slightly.
The wedding ceremony proceeded smoothly, with everyone bowing to heaven and earth and entering the bridal chamber. However, for some reason, the families who came to offer their congratulations watched with cold eyes, sensing a subtle reluctance on the part of the Lü family regarding this marriage.
But the other party is the legitimate daughter of the Vice Minister's family. Given their family's status, they are considered to have married above their station. Why do they act as if they are the ones who are wronged?
Lu Yi was injured and unable to drink alcohol, so he asked a few friends who had been with him that day to drink for him, which made the atmosphere a little better.
Before long, a servant came to Lü's mother's ear to "complain".
