Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 324 The conspiracy resurfaces

However, Mrs. Han was not discouraged by the setbacks in front of her. On the contrary, a deeper and more complex conspiracy was quietly brewing in her heart. This conspiracy was like an invisible net, waiting for the right time to spread and capture the target in one fell swoop.

However, before this conspiracy could be successfully implemented, she felt it necessary to visit her daughter who had always been spoiled and willful.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel regretful. "Alas, it's all my fault for spoiling my daughter so much, raising her to be so innocent! Now that things have come to this, I've sown the seeds myself, and no matter what, I can only bear and resolve the consequences myself."

Madam Han Guo took a sip of the warm tea in her hand, sighed leisurely, and then turned to the maid named Xiu Yu beside her and said, "Come on, come with me to see Ping'er."

Xiuyu seemed lost in her own thoughts, unresponsive to Mrs. Han's words. Seeing this, Mrs. Han frowned slightly, then raised her voice and spoke again, "Xiuyu, what on earth are you thinking about? You're so lost in thought!"

Xiuyu, abruptly brought back to reality by Madam Han's voice, showed a hint of embarrassment on her face. She quickly smiled and explained, "Ah? Madam, I don't have anything serious to say. Perhaps it's because I haven't been getting enough sleep these past few days, which has caused me to have trouble concentrating and get distracted easily."

Although Lady Han Guo was ruthless towards outsiders, she was still quite caring and considerate towards the maids who followed her from her natal family. After hearing Xiu Yu's words, she asked with concern, "Is it possible that the housekeeper's son is causing trouble for you and bullying you again?"

Xiuyu shook her head and said, "Madam, you're worrying too much. He hasn't bullied me recently. He just likes to hang out in the brothels. It's not a big deal. After all, I already have a son and a daughter. It doesn't matter whether he comes to my place or not. It's just that Wan'er has been a little sick recently, so I need to pay more attention to her at night."

Upon hearing this, Madam Han Guo turned to look at Xiu Yu and asked, "Is Wan'er's illness serious?"

Xiuyu said, "It's okay, I just caught a cold, it's a bit tiring."

Madam Han Guo continued, "I'm glad you're alright. If anything happens, tell me immediately and I'll send a doctor to see Wan'er."

Xiuyu said gratefully, "Thank you, ma'am."

Then Mrs. Han Guo stood up and said, "Let's go, follow me to see Ping'er." Xiu Yu agreed, and the two went to the courtyard where Cui Caiping lived.

Just like the previous times, there were maids kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, and there were debris all over the floor... and Cui Caiping was sitting on the beauty bed trying her luck.

The only difference was that this time she didn't cry, she was just very angry, so she smashed cups and bowls to vent her anger.

Seeing Madam Han Guo coming, Cui Caiping ran to her and complained in a low voice, "Mother, didn't you say you would bring ruin to Dugu Jingyao's reputation? How come she still received a reward?"

Mrs. Han Guo comforted her, "Ping'er, don't worry. This is just the beginning. It's just that as a mother, I'm also confused as to why she is still a virgin..."

However, seeing the mess in the room, Mrs. Han Guo's mood, which had just calmed down, became chaotic again, so she quickly asked someone to pick up all the things on the floor.

Afterwards, the mother and daughter returned to the beauty couch and chatted for nearly half an hour behind closed doors. No one knew what they were talking about, but they only knew that after this chat, Cui Caiping's mood had returned to normal...

Meanwhile, at the Yunnan Prince's Mansion, Xiaojiu unexpectedly showed up, but was blocked outside by Erwang. After all, he had never seen the female workers, and he had no idea the two princesses had opened a shop outside...

So he looked at Xiaojiu who was wearing very ordinary clothes, and thought to himself: How come anyone dares to enter the palace now?

Erwang saw that although Xiaojiu was not as respectful as when the nobleman came, she was not unreasonable. He did not directly drive her away. Instead, he asked, "Young lady, who are you looking for? This is the royal palace, not a place where a little girl like you can just come casually."

Xiaojiu was not afraid at all, because she really knew Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue, and she did not come here unprepared, but brought the tokens left to her by the two princesses.

So she said, "My dear, I'm here to see Princess Yi'an or Princess Yining. My name is Xiaojiu. Please let me know."

Erwang said, "Little girl, you keep saying that you know our princess, but do you have any proof?"

Fortunately, Xiaojiu was well prepared. She calmly took out a jade pendant and showed it to Erwang. The jade pendant looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, there was indeed the word "Yao" on it.

Then he smiled eagerly at Xiaojiu: "Oh, the young lady really has our princess's token. I will go and report it right away. Miss Xiaojiu, please come in first. Xiaoding, you take this young lady to the main hall first."

Xiao Ding took the order and stepped forward enthusiastically, saying, "Young lady, please come in!" He then made a gesture of "please come in." Xiao Jiu followed him into the house.
