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

Chi Guizhao had been a good son and grandson of the Chi family for more than ten years, so Old Madam Chi's feelings for him were naturally extraordinary.

Although she could see that he was in a terrible state, Aunt Zhao didn't even know whether the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl. Of course, the most important thing was the living, breathing grandson in front of her. So she hugged him and cried out in pain.

"Don't be afraid, Grandmother is here. Your father won't dare to do anything to you! But child, think more carefully in the future. You are still a member of the Chi family. You can't always team up with outsiders to bully your father at home. If the Guo family gets the upper hand today, what hope do you have for the future? Do you think the Guo family would be willing to provide you with a separate estate from Qingzhou?"

Grandma Chi spoke earnestly and patiently, and Chi Guizhao nodded in agreement.

He then kowtowed to Chi Yunjing and apologized, saying, "Father, I dare not do it again."

Seeing his sincere plea for mercy, Chi Yunjing stopped blaming him. He knew his son's character perfectly well; he was a coward and would never be the one to lead the way in what happened today. So he snorted and said...

"If this happens again, I'll break your legs and send you back to your hometown to guard the ancestral temple!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Guizhao trembled violently, filled with regret. He completely forgot about his second sister and cowered beside Old Madam Chi, not daring to move for even a moment.

Seeing his expression, Chi Guiying felt utterly defeated.

She wanted to stand up for herself, and although she had her own reasons, she was also concerned about her younger brother's future. But he sacrificed himself. Wasn't this just like when they had just abandoned their grandmother's protection?

Retribution really does come very quickly!

He gave a wry smile and stood there awaiting his fate.

Chi Yunjing loathed this daughter to the extreme. Having suffered a humiliating defeat at the Marquis of Haibo's mansion, he vented all his anger on Chi Guiying, angrily rebuking her.

"Shameless wretch! You and your mother are both stupid. I told her long ago that the He family's young lady is not to be trifled with. She is going to participate in the autumn selection, highly recommended by the governor of Nanzhou. Her reputation as a great scholar is widespread. If she becomes the crown princess one day, our Chi family could use the name of 'ladies' to establish a relationship with her! Both you and your brother could have had good opportunities. But you two are short-sighted. You caused so much trouble for the sake of the Qiao family. Now you are reaping the consequences and still don't know how to repent. You have brought your maternal grandmother to make trouble time and time again. Humph, tell me, what good will you get?"

When Chi Guiying heard that He Lingyi was going to enter the Eastern Palace, she stood there stunned.

"No...that's impossible! I've never heard of Miss He making any preparations!"

"Hmph, prepare? Do you think the He family needs to prepare? The great scholar He has a wide network of students. Looking across the court, even the Left and Right Prime Ministers are proud to have studied under him. What else do we need to prepare? To announce to everyone that the He family is going to participate in the election? Fools!"

Hearing her father's angry rebuke, Chi Guiying went mad.

How could this be? How could this be? Wasn't it said that the Crown Princess would be chosen from the four great dukes' mansions? How did it suddenly become He Lingyi?

Thinking back to the past few days, she had quite a few falling out with them, and with the matter of Hanxuexuan, she had deliberately gone there to cause trouble. If the other party found out about it, wouldn't that just add more trouble to herself for no reason?

A chill ran through her heart, and she couldn't help but swallow hard before tearfully complaining to Chi Yunjing.

"Your daughter is foolish and does not know this matter. Please punish me, Father, but please do not become estranged from me. Didn't you say before that Consort Jia's baby is very likely to be a prince? When my elder sister marries into the Qiao family, she will be on the side of the crown prince. When I marry into the Lü family, I will be on the side of the future prince. No matter who has a bright future, our family will stand firm, won't we?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Yunjing was greatly surprised.

He swept the tea on the table onto the floor with one swipe, then glared angrily and said...

"Nonsense! When did I ever say such a thing? The Crown Prince is the future heir apparent. Even if Jia Mei gives birth to a prince, he'll just be a rich idler. What right do you and I have to comment on royal affairs? Fool, fool! I should have just let you die back then! That would have saved me from all this trouble!"

If the father and daughter were talking about this in private, it wouldn't be a big deal, but to discuss the matter of changing the heir apparent in front of so many servants, how many heads could the Vice Minister's mansion possibly have to take responsibility for it!

The thought of the fate of the Prince Jin's mansion filled Chi Yunjing with fear.

Looking at Chi Guiying, he showed no trace of fatherly affection and then spoke sharply and urgently.

"Get out! Get out of here! Steward, immediately send a message back to our hometown to remove this unfilial daughter's name from the family genealogy. I, Chi Yunjing, have no such muddle-headed and unruly daughter! Also, have someone bring Guo Shi back and send her directly to the estate to be raised. Make sure she is well cared for. She must wait until Aunt Zhao's child is born, understand?"

"Yes, sir."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Chi's lips moved, but in the end she did not plead for mercy.

After all, the second granddaughter's words were too foolish. If someone with ulterior motives heard them, the whole family would die. Therefore, the son did the right thing and should remove her name. In this way, no one can criticize the Vice Minister's Mansion, and the peace and wealth of their whole family can be preserved!

Chi Guizhao was originally a clueless young boy. Now that his mother had passed away and his second sister had been abandoned by his father, if he wanted to continue living a good life at home, he would have to keep his head down and behave himself.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad about my own future, and I had no time to care about my second sister's life or death.

So he just watched quietly as his second sister was thrown out of the house by the people brought by the housekeeper, without uttering a single word of protest.

"As for you," Chi Yunjing glanced at the servants present, "this time I'll consider it a blessing for the child in Aunt Zhao's belly. If there's a next time, sever your tendons and sell you off!"

"Yes, sir."

The servants answered listlessly, and everyone sighed with relief at having escaped a calamity.

The old woman who had colluded with Chi Guiying turned pale with fear, but fearing that she would be discovered, she could only keep chuckling to cover up her guilty conscience.

News of Chi Guiying being "thrown out" by her family at the gate of the Vice Minister's residence quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys. She hid in the Lü family's house, afraid to go out, and cried bitterly every day.

But her mother had already been taken back, and her maternal grandmother had returned to Qingzhou with her aunt, cousins, and other relatives. Her younger brother had become estranged from her, and her father and grandmother ignored her. This trip back to her parents' home had truly been a double loss.
