Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 197 What Happened

Wang returned to her room, and the smile on her face that she couldn't hide turned into a loud laugh.

"Mother Feng, did you see Bai's expression just now? Oh, I'm really enlightened. It turns out that my good sister-in-law can be so embarrassed." After Wang said this, she took a sip of tea.

"Madam, please stop talking. If the third master finds out that you were punished by the old lady, he will quarrel with you again." Mother Feng said worriedly.

"I'm not spreading rumors, so why can't I tell you?" Wang said, "Second sister-in-law doesn't think her daughter will be as lucky as she is, marrying the crown prince and living with no concubines until old age, right?"

"Not to mention, the second wife is not old yet, but she has the status of the crown prince. In the future, there will be more and more women in the courtyard, and it will definitely not be just her daughter." Wang said hatefully.

"Madam, only when the third young lady is well can our Gu family be well. Don't you still want the third young lady to help our young lady?" Mother Feng advised.

"Hmph, I'm pointing fingers at her. I might as well go burn incense and pray to Buddha more." Wang snorted coldly: "No need. She won't care. Instead of hoping that she will help Ruoxing, it's better to hope that she will have a bad life."

Mother Feng was speechless at this point. She had been with Wang since she was a child and knew that she was a picky person. She didn't expect that since the second wife came back, she had been jealous and hoping that she would not live a good life.

My wife used to be well-educated and well-mannered. When did she change?

Maybe it started when Concubine Fang in the backyard gave birth to two sons in succession and her momentum became stronger day by day...

Li left the old lady's yard and walked with Bai and Gu Qinghe, mother and daughter. They had already passed the third room and arrived at the door of the main room, but she still followed them forward.

"Sister-in-law, you've left, please go back." Bai said with a faint smile.

Li looked at the expressions of Bai's mother and daughter and was really puzzled. If it were her, she would not be able to eat or sleep well for at least two days.

Why are this mother and daughter so open-minded?

"Don't take it personally with her about your second and third sister-in-law. She's just a little narrow-minded. Her own daughters are unhappy, so she's making up stories to annoy you." After saying this, Li looked at Gu Qinghe with concern.

"Sister-in-law, what Third Sister-in-law said is actually quite reasonable. We women must first live a good life. We can't just rely on a man's conscience, we also have to be strong ourselves." Mrs. Bai chuckled and approached Mrs. Li. "I gave half of our wealth to Qinghe last night."

Upon hearing this, Li opened her mouth slightly. Half of her second brother's wife's property was probably more than the total property of the first and third wives combined.

I really am willing to give it up.

"Second sister-in-law, I feel relieved when you say that. Living a good life is so important." Li smiled and said, "I am ashamed to say that. Your eldest brother's career is mediocre, and my dowry is not rich, so when Yueru got married..."

"Sister-in-law, this isn't fun to say. I'm telling you this because I'm afraid you'll worry. Parents have different abilities, so just do your best." Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "The children understand."

Gu Qinghe looked at her aunt from the side and said, "Aunt, thank you for your concern for me. I'm fine, don't worry."

Mrs. Li looked at Gu Qinghe and nodded. This was a child who could appreciate others' kindness. "Good boy, this must be a false alarm."

Gu Qinghe smiled and said, "Yes." In fact, she was not surprised...

The person who was really frightened was not Gu Qinghe, but the Queen Mother.

That same morning, just after breakfast, I was listening to the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department talking about the arrangements for the Crown Prince's wedding, and I was very happy.

Nanny Lin bowed her head and reported, "Empress Dowager, the old lady of the Han family has come to pay her respects to you."

"Chu Chunhua? She came to pay her respects to me? What a rare guest! I haven't seen her in many years." The Empress Dowager raised her hand and asked the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department to stop talking.

"Yes, and behind him is the girl who paid her respects to you last time at Prince Yan's Mansion. Her name is Han Yan'er."

The Empress Dowager thought for a moment and chuckled, "I see. Let her wait. Steward Fu, go on."

After receiving the order from the Empress Dowager, Nanny Lin quickly walked out of the hall. Old Madam Han was about to walk into the hall with a smile on her face.

"Madam Han, wait a minute. The Empress Dowager is talking to someone from the Imperial Household Department right now. She can't see you and your granddaughter for the time being. Please wait a moment." Nanny Lin said expressionlessly.

"Oh, okay, thank you, Madam." Han Yan'er took two steps forward from behind Old Madam Han, discreetly handed over a purse, and said with a gentle smile, "Madam, please have some tea."

Nanny Lin hadn't encountered anyone offering bribes in years. She shook her head and said, "Please keep it. Yongshou Palace doesn't accept such things."

Upon hearing this, Han Yan'er withdrew her hand angrily, "Yes, I was rude, please forgive me."

Nanny Lin nodded and turned back into the hall. This girl from the Han family was so humble. I wonder what she was doing here?

Old Madam Han waited until Nanny Lin disappeared before she snorted nonchalantly, "I'm just a servant, but you've got your sights set high."

At this moment, Han Yan'er only hoped that the Queen Mother would not offend her grandmother.

"What are you thinking about? Didn't you hear Grandma talking to you?" Old Madam Han said impatiently. Seeing Han Yan'er's wandering eyes, she asked again, "Grandma, let me ask you again, was it really the Crown Prince who hugged you?"

Han Yaner was speechless for a moment, swallowed her saliva, and nodded three or four times in a row, "Indeed."

At the same time, Xiao Jingheng was planting trees in the main courtyard of the East Palace. Zhang Wu and Han Desheng were standing on his left and right. The difference was that Han Desheng was holding a handkerchief in his hand, while Zhang Wu was holding a knife.

"Your Highness, please take a rest." Han Desheng looked at the sweaty prince and said with concern.

It's still a bit cold now. If I sweat and then get caught in the wind, the emperor will ask me if I've served the prince well.

Xiao Jingheng filled the soil a few more times, inserted the shovel into the soil at once, and reached out to take the sweat towel handed by Han Desheng, "Rest later, didn't the flower and bird shop say that it's easy to grow trees after planting them these days?"

"Yes."

Zhang Wu listened to the conversation between the prince and Han Desheng, and he wanted to swap jobs with his brother. He had no chance of making a name for himself in front of the prince.

But how should I put it? Should I say that I have suddenly become smarter and more thoughtful?

Maybe there was telepathy between the brothers. Zhang Wu had just thought about his brother for a while when Zhang Wen came hurriedly over.

"Your subordinate pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince—"

Before Zhang Wen could finish his words, he heard the prince ask, "But what happened?"
