Teaming up with her mother to take revenge on the scumbags! The Crown Princess becomes the darling o
Chapter 9 She knew she was wrong
"Get out, I don't want to see anyone."
Chi Guiwan still maintained a condescending and unapproachable demeanor, much to the disappointment of Granny Pang who came to visit. She had thought that after three years, Miss Wan should have grown up and become more stable, but who knew she would still have the same temper.
He immediately had the tonics put down and then calmly said...
"When Lady Hou heard that Miss Wan was ill, she specially sent this old servant to deliver these things. After all, we are blood relatives, and it is not good to sever ties like this. But since Miss Wan does not want to see anyone, then she should take good care of herself and recover. This old servant will take his leave now."
Having said that, he bowed and withdrew, showing no courtesy to the Chi family as he left.
The more hurriedly she came and went, the happier Madam Guo was, but she still had to pretend to be heartbroken and advised Chi Guiwan.
“Such a good opportunity, how could you miss it again, eldest sister? After all, it’s your uncle’s family. Being more frequent with them would be good for you. Why won’t you listen to advice?”
"I'm sick and upset, so please don't say anything more, Mother. Go out, I need to sleep for a while."
Chi Guiwan was too lazy to play along, so she simply turned over and lay down facing inwards, behaving so disrespectfully like a five or six-year-old child throwing a tantrum.
But they are children; others would find their childlike innocence and charm endearing.
Chi Guiwan is already sixteen years old, and if she is still like this, then it is a problem of poor character.
Madam Guo was extremely satisfied. Having achieved her goal, she was unwilling to stay any longer. She wiped away her tears and left Sijin Courtyard with a sigh.
As she left, she wished all the servants in the house could see her grievances, while in her bedroom, on her bed, Chi Guiwan silently shed two lines of tears.
In the end, it was her fault for not recognizing people properly!
For so many years, not only have we been used as pawns, but we've also trusted them wholeheartedly. We're incredibly foolish!
Both Qianchun and Fudong knew their daughter was heartbroken, so they silently stayed by her side without saying a word.
Outside the Vice Minister's residence, on Changxing Street.
Granny Pang was riding in a soft-topped sedan chair on her way to the Marquis of Haibo's mansion when she was stopped by a ragged child.
"Please, be kind enough to give me a chance to make a living."
Upon hearing this, Granny Pang lifted the curtain and glanced at the child. It was quite pitiful to see someone begging like this under the emperor's nose. So she beckoned to the child, took a small string of copper coins from her person, put them in his broken bowl, and said calmly.
"Let's go buy some food and supplies."
"Thank you so much, thank you so much."
As the little beggar approached, he whispered in her ear, "Young lady, you're in trouble. Please go to Liu's wonton stall immediately; I have important business to discuss."
After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.
Granny Pang was left looking bewildered. "Eldest young lady? Who are you talking about?"
There are no young ladies in the Marquis of Hai's mansion. Could it be Miss Hai, whom we just visited?
Doubts arose immediately.
To avoid any mistakes, Granny Pang dared not refuse to go. She then said to the servants carrying the sedan chair, "I suddenly remembered that Madam said she wanted to eat Liu's wontons. Let's go and buy two bowls."
"Yes, Mammy."
On Changxing Street, crowds thronged, and no one cared where the sedan chair had gone. Soon, Granny Pang arrived at the Liu family's wonton shop.
The business was run by a middle-aged couple. When they saw Granny Pang arrive, they immediately invited her inside.
Once inside, through the half-closed door, Granny Pang saw a somewhat unfamiliar face. After a moment's thought, she realized who it was.
"Miss He?"
"It's me, Granny has a good memory."
He Lingyi once visited the home of Minister Han, and Lady Qin, the wife of the Marquis of Haibo, was also there. Granny Pang accompanied her, and she was introduced to him at the banquet. After all, she was the only bloodline of the great Confucian scholar of the South, so Granny Pang was deeply impressed.
Then I felt a little confused, but I still patiently asked a question.
"Why did you choose this place when you made the appointment with me, Miss?"
"In places like restaurants, the people who come and go are all powerful and wealthy. Given Granny Pang's status, I'm afraid some things might reach the ears of those with ulterior motives. That's why I had to resort to this tactic. I hope Granny won't take it to heart."
"No, Miss, what brings you here? What troubles Miss Wan? Please tell me frankly."
Now that Granny Pang has arrived, I've already figured things out a bit on the way here.
Madam Guo's refusal to let her speak alone with Miss Wan suggests she has something to hide, and the appearance of Miss He further confirms her suspicions, since she knows that Miss He is staying at the Vice Minister's residence for her studies.
Then, He Lingyi didn't waste any more words and went straight to the point.
"Sister Chi's illness this time was out of necessity. The Qiao family came to our door a few days ago, wanting to break off the engagement on the grounds that the old lady was seriously ill and that Sister Chi's birth chart was incompatible with his. Although Minister Chi and Madam Guo said they would think about it, they are probably going to agree. Sister Chi is powerless to protect herself and cannot contact anyone outside, so she has no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. I hope that Granny Pang can deliver this letter to the Marquis and his wife. Sister Chi said that she knows she was wrong."
His words contained a great deal of information.
Even Granny Pang hadn't expected so many twists and turns, so she concealed her emotions and calmly asked He Lingyi.
"Is that really true?"
"The Qiao family is a prestigious family in Bianzhou City. This marriage was specially chosen by Madam Hai before her death for Sister Chi. When people are being taken advantage of, there are naturally many eyes watching closely. Granny Pang has seen more sordid things in the inner quarters than I have eaten rice. She should understand the reason behind it. Sister Chi personally consumed the flowers and leaves of the Haixin Shatang, which is why it has been delayed until today. If the Haibo Marquis's Mansion refuses to help, then it is Sister Chi's fate."
He Lingyi sighed; she was truly ashamed of the foolish thing her mother had done.
What a great backer! Upon hearing that she was ill, he sent his trusted nanny to visit her.
Even though she was invited to this inconspicuous wonton shop, the other party accepted the invitation, which shows that she still had the intention to take care of her mother.
If they have truly offended the Marquis of Haibo's family this time and cannot get help from others, they can't blame them. They will have to find another way.
In short, the marriage with the Qiao family cannot be called off.
Even if she were to back out, she would wait until her scumbag father's marriage proposal was finalized before making any plans.
"Haixin Shatang? Miss Wan, are you out of your mind?"
Granny Pang was shocked. She had just seen Miss Wan's pale face and thought she was really sick. She never expected it to be for this reason, and she panicked.
The hand holding the envelope trembled involuntarily.
Recalling how Lady Hai had pleaded with them, the Marquis's wife, before her death, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she said to He Lingyi with a serious expression.
"Thank you for reminding me about today's events, Miss He. I will inform my mistress about this matter. Please go back and tell Miss Wan that no matter what, she is a member of the Haibo Marquis's family. She should not harm herself to achieve her goals."
"Okay, I will definitely convey the message to Sister Chi."
After the two parted, Granny Pang left first with the wontons. About half an hour later, He Lingyi finally came out wearing a gauze hat, and everything was as if nothing had happened...
