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

Zhaoyue Academy.

When the Marquis of Haibo saw his wife, Lady Qin, he almost burst into tears, excitedly recounting everything that had happened that day.

"You have no idea how long I've been looking forward to this day! Our Jin'er is destined to be the best among men, and this time, I can really feel that he's come to his senses!"

"really?"

"Why would I lie to you, Madam? Jin'er has already taken over the Hidden Guard forces. Hmph, so what if he doesn't get the inheritance and title he deserves? I believe he can make a name for himself. Besides, the Crown Prince has praised him highly. I believe that in a few days, he will definitely be able to regain his former glory! No, he will reach even greater heights!"

The Marquis of Haibo spoke excitedly, and his wife, Lady Qin, listened with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Good, you've finally come out of it. You have no idea how many times I've cried in private because I was afraid we wouldn't live to see Jin'er recover."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Haibo put his arm around Madam Qin and comforted her.

"No, I believe Jin'er will grow even better after this experience. The spirited young man of the past may be gone, but the one who stands up again now is a phoenix rising from the ashes!"

The Qin family was also proud of this.

However, there were some things on their minds that they didn't know whether to say or not. If their son's return was really because of Miss He, then the couple would really be reluctant to let Miss He participate in the autumn election.

After much deliberation, he decided to tell her everything that Granny Pang had seen.

Just moments before, Haibo Hou was still basking in the excitement of his son's renewed vigor, but the next moment he found himself in a dilemma.

Are you...are you sure?

"I'm not sure, but it's most likely because of Miss He's words that Jin'er has made such a big change. My lord, what should we do? If Miss He is selected for the Crown Prince's Palace, will Jin'er revert to her old ways, or even worse?"

The couple's joy was short-lived, as they soon became worried about the potential crisis that might arise in the future. They had already lost their son once, and they didn't want to lose him a second time. If possible, they certainly hoped that their son could pull himself together on his own, but if it was indeed Miss He's doing, they couldn't ignore it either.

"Let me go and ask. If Jin'er really changed because of Miss He, then even if it means giving up this position, I can't let my son lose it again."

The Marquis of Haibo's family had earned this everlasting title through generations of merit. It was not so simple to just give it up. However, the Marquis and his wife had already experienced the pain of losing their son once and did not want to go through it again. Therefore, even if it meant giving their lives in exchange, they would be willing to do so.

Therefore, the news that the Marquis and his wife had misunderstood each other quickly reached Haijin's ears.

He looked at his parents, who stood in front of him looking uneasy, and felt both amused and exasperated.

For the first time, I felt that not being able to speak the truth was quite frustrating. I put down my teacup and gave a serious reply.

“Father, you’ve misunderstood. I’m only trying to help because of the Crown Prince’s concern for my unjust situation. What does it have to do with Miss He? However, her thorough conversation with me has given me a new understanding. But there’s not a trace of romantic love involved. I… I just treat her like a cousin. Even if I’m a little biased, it’s just like an older brother to a younger sister, nothing more.”

In fact, it was something even deeper than that, after all, she was his cousin's daughter, but he wouldn't tell outsiders such things.

Therefore, Haijin could only steer his parents in that direction.

"really?"

“My son’s heart is not in this. Miss He is certainly good, but she is not the right person for me. So, Father and Mother, don’t think about it anymore.”

Haijin's calm expression and tone made the couple hesitate for a while, until they saw that the sincerity in his eyes had not faded, and then they made up their minds.

He then let out a long sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying...

“We were prepared to give up our titles to help you keep Miss He, but now it seems that your mother and I were just being a bit redundant.”

Haibo Hou gave a self-deprecating laugh, but his smile was full of relaxation.

Since their son has no interest in Miss He, they will not be enemies of the Crown Prince, which is something to celebrate!

Seeing his parents like this, Haijin was deeply moved. He sighed, got up, knelt down in front of them, and then began to reflect on his actions.

"I have caused my parents a lot of worry these past few years. I am truly unfilial. I will not do it again. Even if there are raging storms, I will stand in front of you, protecting, respecting and loving you."

"Good, good, my son has grown up, he has grown up!"

Marquis Haibo and his wife, Lady Qin, were in tears; they had waited for this moment for far too long…

Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, we must not allow others to have other ideas.

That day, Qin had the small kitchen set up a table in the flower hall according to the New Year's custom. It didn't matter that the second young master Haiyu was not there. They also specially invited Old Madam Qiao from the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Madam Qiao the First, and Qiao Ruoyu the Second to be guests.

The Qiao family was puzzled, but they still brought their congratulatory gifts to the door.

When Chi Guiwan and He Lingyi appeared in the flower hall, everyone looked at them with smiles, leaving the two somewhat bewildered.

He Lingyi leaned to the side of her mother and asked in a low voice, "Sister Chi, what good thing have you done?"

"Huh? No, besides practicing the skills taught by Granny Zong, I've been practicing with the whip. What good things could I possibly do? Aren't you with me every day?"

That's true. He Lingyi and her mother, Chi Guiwan, are practically inseparable, and she hasn't really done anything. So, seeing the enthusiastic looks from everyone, she could only take it as the warmth of her elders and didn't think much of it.

To everyone's surprise, the next moment, Lady Qin walked up to the two of them, took He Lingyi's hand, her expression full of sincerity and gratitude, and then spoke loudly to everyone.

“Aunt Qiao, we invited you here today so that you could be our witnesses.”

"Witness? What witness?" Chi Guiwan looked bewildered, as did everyone else, including He Lingyi, who was in the middle of it.

But looking at his mother's expression, Haijin had already guessed what was going on and couldn't help but think that this was a good thing. So he nodded slightly in He Lingyi's direction, which made the originally somewhat reserved He Lingyi slowly relax.

"My lord and I are unlucky; we only have two silly sons and have never had a close daughter. While Wan'er is certainly good, I am envious of the granddaughter of the great Confucian scholar. Therefore, I would like to invite everyone to be our witnesses. My lord and I wish to adopt Miss He as our goddaughter. What does Miss He think?"

This statement left everyone present stunned, except for Haibo Hou, who already knew, and Haijin, who had guessed about 70-80% of it.

Lady Qin, the wife of the Marquis, has always been composed. Why would she suddenly want to recognize a goddaughter, catching everyone off guard?

He Lingyi parted her lips slightly, and then the eldest son, Haijin, stepped forward and explained the reason!
