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

The three-day homecoming ceremony is held after the wedding.

The Vice Minister's residence returned to its usual tranquility. However, Chi Guiwan did not come this time due to illness, but the congratulatory gifts that were to be prepared had already been sent over, so the Chi family could not find fault with her.

In the flower hall, at the dining table.

The last time she ate with him, she was still an unmarried woman, but this time she was bringing her son-in-law back to her parents' home. Chi Guiying felt a mix of emotions, but she pretended to be calm on the surface.

In particular, the affection she showed to her husband, Lü Yi, really puzzled Chi Yunjing. Just a few days ago, she was still crying out that she wouldn't marry him, so why has she changed her tune now?

He picked up the water cup in front of him, took a sip, but his eyes never left the two of them, showing great attention to detail.

In comparison, the elderly Mrs. Chi next to her was probably the one who ate with the most care.

During the meal, she would frequently have people serve food to her second granddaughter and grandson-in-law. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a kind and benevolent grandmother, but little did they know that it was all because of the gilded Maitreya Buddha statue.

The items were specially brought by Chi Guiying for Old Madam Chi when she returned to her parents' home. They were exquisitely crafted and truly delightful.

For this, Grandma Chi even gave a word of praise.

"Now that my second sister is married, she's become much more considerate. She visits home more often. Grandmother's Huafangzhai has prepared a lot of your favorite snacks. Her husband is coming too, so this old woman can also share in your good fortune!"

Chi Guiying sneered inwardly. When she lost her virginity, her grandmother did not come to visit her, and her mother was seriously injured without her grandmother's pity. Now she had to prepare some snacks. If it weren't for that gilded Maitreya Buddha, she was afraid she would be given a cold reception even when she returned home.

But outwardly, he still appeared kind and respectful.

“Grandmother is right. Now that my aunt has been promoted to the rank of Jia Meiren, the whole Lü family is overjoyed with this news, and my husband is too. However, he will have to focus on his studies for the next few months, just waiting for him to pass the imperial examination!”

"Yes, yes, your mother mentioned last time that you had to take the exam. Alright, then this old woman will light a few more incense sticks for you in the small Buddhist shrine, so that all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens will bless you and help your son-in-law pass the exam next year!"

Hearing this, Lü Yi felt much better.

Newlywed and with his sister regaining favor in the palace, all good things seemed to be happening, so his complexion was radiant. He glanced at his wife and felt the time was right, so he picked up his water cup, offered her a toast, and then said...

"Father-in-law, I have a request that I would like to make, and I hope you will grant it?"

"What is it? My dear son-in-law, please just say the word."

"All the past mistakes were my fault. Now that my wife and I are in love, we will not mention them again. The only thing I am worried about is my mother-in-law's injury. She was seriously injured that day and I heard that she has not yet woken up. As her son-in-law, I want to do my part. So why don't my wife and I take my mother-in-law away so that my wife can fulfill her filial duty?"

Upon hearing this, not only Chi Yunjing but also Old Madam Chi were somewhat taken aback.

Weren't the Lü family mother and son fighting tooth and nail with Madam Guo before? How come they've reconciled so quickly? And they're even taking her away to fulfill her filial duties?

Chi Yunjing glanced at his daughter sitting beside him, whose calm demeanor was tinged with self-pity. For a moment, he admired his daughter's abilities and methods.

He put down his wine glass and refused.

"Guo is seriously injured. If she stays in the manor, the servants will naturally take good care of her. What's the point of you taking her away? Won't outsiders say that I, as her husband, don't care about our past relationship?"

“Father-in-law, you flatter me. I just felt that I had many disagreements with my mother-in-law in the past. I thought that if I could take good care of her while she was ill, she could see my character clearly when she regained consciousness. Those things were not what I wanted, but they were indeed unfair to my mother-in-law. Before coming here, I specifically asked my mother, and she also felt that this was the right thing to do so so that the two families could truly reconcile.”

His words were perfectly watertight.

Chi Yunjing had no reason to refute, but he was reluctant to agree so easily out of consideration for others.

The old lady Chi, who was standing nearby, accepted the gilded Maitreya Buddha and was happy to say a few words in support. Anyway, Guo was not far from death, and they had already achieved their goal. It was good to give it away so as to avoid any taboos.

So he patted his son's hand and said.

"It's a good thing that the young couple has such filial thoughts. Guo has been ill for a long time, and perhaps a change of scenery can bring some fresh energy. Don't forget, there is a happy occasion in the family, so it's best not to cause any trouble."

"Good news? What good news?"

Lu Yi didn't react for a moment, but Chi Guiying knew that they were talking about her eldest sister's marriage.

If Madam Guo dies at home, the Vice Minister's Mansion will inevitably cause some trouble. If the Marquis's Mansion then wants their eldest daughter to marry out of the Marquis's Mansion, it wouldn't be impossible!

Thinking of this, Chi Yunjing wavered.

"Let me think about it and I'll give you an answer in a couple of days."

He didn't agree immediately; this was a habit he had developed over many years as an official—always leaving himself room for maneuver so that he would have a chance to maneuver later.

Lu Yiyuan was about to add a few more words, but was stopped by Chi Guiying next to him. She picked up her wine cup and looked like a caring daughter.

“Father is right. Then we will wait for your reply. I will offer you a toast with water instead of wine.”

"well."

The family returned to their pleasant conversation as if this part had never been mentioned.

After the meal, the couple said goodbye and left.

In the carriage, Lü Yi was feeling a bit groggy after his meal, but seeing that his wife beside him still looked preoccupied, he asked her a question.

"Madam, why don't you let me continue? I think my father-in-law seems to be wavering."

However, Chi Guiying said with a soft sarcasm, "My husband doesn't know this, but my father is always good at weighing the pros and cons. If my mother stays in the Vice Minister's mansion, he may continue to control me, so he won't let go easily."

"What should I do?"

Chi Guiying fell silent; she really didn't have any good plans for the time being.

I originally thought that my mother was already abandoned by the Vice Minister's mansion, but now it seems that perhaps something needs to be done to push things forward before it is possible to bring my mother back.

“I think I should write to my maternal grandmother in Qingzhou. She has always doted on my mother, and if she finds out about this, she will definitely come. Then my husband can put some pressure on me, and maybe this matter can be accomplished.”

As the carriage swayed, Lü Yi grabbed the back of her hand and then put on the act of a good husband, assuring her.

"Don't worry, my wife, I will definitely help you get your mother out!"

These words touched Chi Guiying for a moment, but she wasn't stupid. How could the two of them have fallen deeply in love in just three days? It was all just about the forty-eight loads of dowry. So, the one who pretended to be affectionate was calculating, and the one who was calculating was pretending to be affectionate.

This good couple, neither of them lied to the other!
