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

Wouldn't that make him a useless person?!

Grandma Guo felt dizzy, but she still managed to hold on. She was the only one who could handle things by her daughter's side. What would happen to her if she collapsed?

So he nodded and said earnestly, "Never mind that, let's get him awake first!"

With her reassuring presence, Xia Shi and Chi Guiying were no longer so anxious or panicked.

Right now, the most important thing is to solve the housing problem.

Although Chi Guiying had a shop given to her by her father, she did not have a house, so she could not find a place for the group to stay for the time being and had to look for an inn.

The innkeeper was initially reluctant to take in Madam Guo, who was like a living dead, fearing she would die there. However, he couldn't resist the large sum of money offered by Madam Xia, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree, but he did reserve a separate small courtyard and a back room for them.

There are three rooms in total, which is just enough to accommodate everyone.

Not long after, Guo's servants arrived with Xia's two children. When Chi Guiying saw them, she was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered, concealed the discomfort in her eyes, and pretended to be gentle.

"When my cousins ​​come to visit, I should treat them well, but instead you have seen these family scandals. I am really ashamed."

Fearing that Chi Guiying might have objections, Madam Xia quickly stepped forward and said, "We're all family, so there's no need for further discussion. Arrange for the two of them to stay at the inn up ahead. I'll have the servants and maids take good care of them and make sure they don't disturb your peace."

“Auntie, what you said is a slap in my face. You could have stayed in a nice inn. You're only putting up with this because of Mother. I will arrange a courtyard for you as soon as possible so you can move in!”

The older of the Guo family’s two children, Guo Xiao, is nine years old. He has learned a lot about reading people’s expressions from his mother, so when he heard Chi Guiying say that, he immediately spoke up to comfort her.

“You’re being too polite, Cousin Ying. We came here to visit Aunt. If Aunt gets better, our whole family will be better off. So I’m hoping Aunt will wake up soon.”

"That's right, that's right, Cousin Ying, don't be sad anymore, your eyes will get swollen from crying!"

These words were spoken by Guo Ke, Chi Guiying's five-year-old cousin. She was clever, lively, and cute. The Guo family was putting a lot of effort into nurturing her, and if she had the opportunity to rise to a higher position, she would surely have a bright future!

Grandma Guo and her aunt Xia also thought the two were very sensible, so after Chi Guiying sat for a while, Grandma Guo urged her to go back.

"You've been out for quite a while now. You've only just gotten married, so don't let your husband's family have anything to say. Go back now. I'll take care of your mother here. We'll wait until she's better before we leave!"

"Yes, yes, Mother is right. Although the Lü family is not a wealthy family, don't forget that the future depends on Consort Jia's belly. If she really gives birth to a prince, just watch, the Imperial Uncle's Mansion will be there, and then you won't be wronged!"

Aunt Xia spoke up, which was well-intentioned.

But Chi Guiying didn't seem as sincere as her maternal grandmother, Old Madam Guo. "Alright, I'll listen to my grandmother. I'll come see my mother again tomorrow."

"Go ahead, go ahead, be careful on the road."

"it is good."

After leaving the courtyard, Chi Guiying glanced at the name of the inn and then got into the carriage.

The maid, Wenxia, ​​handed Chi Guiying a piece of ice silk handkerchief to apply to her eyes, and then said with emotion, "Our old lady in Qingzhou is still the best. But Auntie is also very thoughtful, helping us with so many things. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have been able to bring Madam here!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Guiying remained calm, showing no sign of the gratitude Xia Xiang had expected.

“I believe my maternal grandmother loves her daughter dearly, but I don’t necessarily believe my aunt. Over the years, we have maintained close ties with Qingzhou, and my uncle has risen through the ranks thanks to his position as a vice minister. My aunt has her family backing her, so she is very generous. If my mother were to pass away, or become a divorced woman, would they still be able to enjoy these things? So, she may have some sincerity, but it may not be as much as it appears on the surface!”

"Young Madam, could it be that you're overthinking things? I can tell that your maternal uncle still cares about you and your wife."

"If we were only here for ourselves, we wouldn't have brought my cousins. I reckon they're here to help my uncle find a way out. If they can find a suitable opportunity, just watch, my aunt will be moving into a house in Bianzhou City. So they brought the children along in advance so they can get used to it."

Upon hearing this answer, Wenxia couldn't help but sigh.

Those closest to you are often the easiest to scheme against—this is truly a profound truth.

Chi Guiying was exhausted, but she still gave a word of advice, "Although your aunt has some ulterior motives, she will at least take good care of Mother for the time being. You should clean up the estate first and leave some trustworthy people there. Even if Mother wakes up, she needs to take good care of her health, otherwise she may develop a chronic illness."

"Don't worry, young lady, I've already started making arrangements."

"That's good."

The streets were bustling with traffic, and Chi Guiying was riding in one of them. At this moment, she had no idea that a meticulously planned scheme awaited her in the future. Her mind was filled with thoughts of how to wake her mother up so that she could make plans for what would happen next.

Once Madam Guo moved away, there was no one left in Lesheng Courtyard.

The main courtyard, which was originally in good condition, was suddenly empty. Because it had a good orientation and was spacious, Chi Yunjing originally wanted to bring Aunt Zhao there to rest during her pregnancy, but she refused.

“My lord, the child is still too young to receive so much blessing. It would be better for me to stay in Linglong Courtyard.”

"What are you afraid of? It's only right that our child enjoys a good life. I'll have the housekeeper prepare everything. Replace anything you don't like. I guarantee that you and your child will receive the best care!"

Hearing these words, Aunt Zhao was naturally very pleased.

But the words of the noble person were still echoing in her ears, so she dared not take them lightly and could only pretend to be sensible and give advice again.

"That's not appropriate. I'm just a concubine, it's not right for me to move into the main courtyard so openly. If Madam recovers and returns in the future, wouldn't that cause a lot of trouble? I'm already blessed to be able to serve you, Master, and now that I have this child, I'm even more grateful to Heaven. I dare not have any more thoughts. So I'm thinking of going to the Daxiangguo Temple on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month to pray for the child. Master, this makes me happier than moving to another courtyard!"

"September 9th?"

"Yes, I heard that a master from Lingzhou will be giving a sermon, so the Bodhisattva on that day will definitely be the most efficacious. I would like to go and see."

Aunt Zhao spoke earnestly, and Chi Yunjing also felt that since the matter of worshipping Buddha had been brought up, he could not refuse, so he nodded and agreed.

“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements. My mother also has great reverence for gods and Buddhas, so we can go together and look after each other on the way!”

Even without Aunt Zhao's prompting, Chi Yunjing offered to take Old Madam Chi along, saving her a lot of trouble. She then nestled obediently in Chi Yunjing's arms and said with great emotion.

"I am truly blessed to have met you, my lord."

Anyone who heard such words would feel a little weak in the knees, especially since they came from the mouth of a delicate and beautiful woman. Chi Yunjing was particularly pleased.

When the message was delivered to Huafangzhai, Old Madam Chi readily agreed.

Therefore, they carefully prepared all the items needed for offering incense on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.
