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

"Please forgive me, Madam. My mother was just a little too happy, which is why she made this decision so suddenly."

Not to mention Old Madam Qiao, even Qiao Er, who often visited the Marquis's mansion, hadn't seen the eldest son, Haijin, speak such long sentences in a long time. So, in his surprise, he nodded repeatedly, as if he was afraid that if he didn't affirm the other party, he would continue to be depressed.

"Good news, good news, what's going on?"

"For the past three years, Haijin has been selfish, deeply mired in pain and unwilling to come out, causing my father, mother and the Marquis's mansion to be criticized along with me. A few days ago, Miss He's few kind words dispelled the worries that had been troubling me for many days. A man's ambition lies in all directions. If he feels that something is unfair, he should fight for it and argue against it, instead of simply immersing himself in difficulties, which will only harm himself and those around him. So Haijin has come to understand, and my father and mother are also happy. Gold and jade are really not worthy of the granddaughter of a great scholar. Therefore, only sincere sincerity can express the feelings of the entire Marquis's mansion. That is why we have taken this abrupt step."

"I see."

Grandma Qiao suddenly realized what was going on and immediately spoke up.

"Great news, great news! It's a blessing for the Marquis's mansion that you can understand this. You are the young lady of the He family, right? I've heard of your reputation many times, but I've never had the chance to meet you. Could you come forward so that I can take a good look at you and see what kind of beauty you are who has such abilities?"

With a wave of her hand, He Lingyi had no choice but to obey.

In both her past and present lives, she had never met this old lady Qiao, yet her reputation was legendary.

The Great Long Kingdom has been established for a hundred years, and most of its territory was built by those old ministers. Among the Eight Heroes of Meige in those days were the Qiao family and the Hai family, who had made great contributions!

While the descendants of other families gradually lost their way in power struggles and factional infighting, Old Mrs. Qiao and Old Mr. Qiao stood together at the border for decades, braving wind and snow to resist the invasions of the thirty-six tribes of the Turks and Rong, thus preserving peace on the border for decades.

She only returned to Bianzhou to live out her retirement after Old Master Qiao passed away peacefully.

She possessed both the honor of her husband's family and her own reputation. To congratulate her on her achievements, His Majesty bestowed upon her the honor of a first-rank lady, with the title of Lady Qing'an. In the eyes of the entire Great Long, she was the only one to receive this honor. Therefore, He Lingyi was still somewhat nervous when facing her.

But rules cannot be disregarded, and etiquette cannot be abandoned. He stepped forward respectfully and bowed to Old Madam Qiao.

“He family daughter Lingyi has met with Old Madam Qiao.”

"Come closer, my eyesight is failing, I can't see very clearly."

Upon hearing this, He Lingyi took two steps forward, this time standing just a step away from Old Madam Qiao. The two looked at each other, and He Lingyi felt as if her soul had been seen through.

But this inquiry was not malicious; it came from the gaze of an elder.

At first she felt a little uncomfortable, but she gradually relaxed and calmed down. Seeing this, Grandma Qiao smiled. She had seen everything at her age and could guess seven or eight parts of the person in front of her just by looking at them.

The reason she liked Chi Guiwan was because she was so straightforward and easy to understand.

Although she is a bit spoiled, she is still kind and lovely.

He Lingyi in front of me was different. I could tell that she was an extremely intelligent woman. Those who are too rigid are easily broken, while those who are gentle are invincible. She was both capable and wise, but for some reason, I could vaguely see some resentment and hatred in her eyes.

Hatred? What could a granddaughter from the family of a great Confucian scholar possibly have to make him hate her?

Thinking of this, Grandma Qiao withdrew her probing gaze and then said.

"Good, good, good. This girl from the He family is truly wonderful. If you really become godparents, your Marquis's mansion will be very fortunate." His words were loaded with meaning, praising both families while subtly hinting at He Lingyi's promising future.

The Marquis's family is already a high-ranking noble family, but if compared to the Crown Princess, then the Marquis's family has indeed gained a great advantage.

Lady Qin smiled and walked to He Lingyi's side. Although she had such thoughts, she wanted to express her gratitude to He Lingyi. After thinking it over, she felt that supporting her was the best thing to do.

Both her parents had passed away. Although her grandfather was still alive, he lived far away in Nanzhou. If there were any major or minor matters, it would be the Marquis's residence, which was closer, that could help. That is why she made such a suggestion.

"What happened today is my fault. I got carried away and didn't tell Lingyi sooner, which startled everyone. But my intention to acknowledge my kinship is sincere. Can you feel that, Lingyi?"

He Lingyi looked at the usually kind Lady Qin, who seemed somewhat at a loss, and sighed inwardly. She had never been treated like this before.

In your past life, you may have had many relatives and held high positions of power, but how many of them were truly sincere to you?

Unlike now, although there are fewer people standing by her today, each one is treated with sincerity. Thinking of this, she nodded sincerely and then said.

“It is your good fortune that you do not mind, Madam. I am willing to be your and the Marquis’s goddaughter and serve you with joy.”

Everyone was delighted by these words.

The Marquis and his wife breathed a sigh of relief, looking at their newly acquired "daughter" with great satisfaction. Chi Guiwan was also overjoyed, as this would allow her to be with He Lingyi more legitimately.

As for Haijin, she looked at the "mother and daughter" who were now embracing each other with a smile. Although their identities could not be revealed to outsiders, their feelings would not change. Even if the mother-daughter relationship had turned into a friendship, as long as it was a feeling, it would always be something that people would remember.

The Qiao family was delighted to witness such a wonderful event, so Madam Qiao took on the role of presiding over the ceremony. Although it was rushed, the procedures were meticulously followed at every step.

After He Lingyi kowtowed and offered tea, the Marquis of Haibo and his wife, Lady Qin, presented him with generous gifts.

With a wave of his hand, he could conjure up a luxurious three-courtyard mansion in Bianzhou, complete with two estates and dozens of servants. Another conjured up a whole chest of jewelry, so exquisite that even the finest gold hairpins seemed insignificant. Qiao Er quipped in response.

"Uncle and Aunt are so generous. It's a pity I don't have a younger sister, otherwise I would definitely marry into a noble family. Look at how generous they are, I'm so envious."

Upon hearing his words, Old Madam Qiao laughed and scolded him, "You little monkey!" Lady Qin, not to be outdone, added her own comment.

"Well, our family didn't lose out. I've been carefully sorting through the betrothal gift list you sent over the past few days. Tsk tsk, it's all thanks to my sister who arranged this marriage with your Qiao family so early on. Otherwise, I don't know where my niece would have found such a good match!"

The two families have been friends for many years and have always maintained a harmonious relationship.

So it's perfectly fine for them to joke around a bit. Qiao Er and Chi Guiwan didn't mind at all. Both of them are straightforward people, and they even contributed a lot of laughs.
