I have suffered enough in my previous life, my cousin will never marry me

Chapter 63 Sneaky Grandma

Princess Anping and Princess Qingning accompanied Ji Ningxi into the Duke Rong's mansion, intending to severely humiliate Ye Wanshu. However, they never expected to be beaten with a stick in front of the nobles and powerful officials of Lin'an, feeling humiliated.

After being helped onto the carriage by the servants, An Ping endured the pain that was shooting through his body and angrily shouted at Ji Ningxi: "You bitch, what's wrong with your brain? Even if you hate that bastard, you shouldn't have rushed into someone else's yard and caused trouble."

Ji Ningxi had just become pregnant and had not yet taken the baby into the womb when she was punished so severely. She was already worried about the safety of the fetus in her belly, and after being scolded by Princess Anping, she felt even more wronged and could not help crying.

Qingning looked at Anping and rolled his eyes calmly: "Well, now that things have come to this, what's the point of blaming her?"

She glanced at the carriage in front and saw that her brother had already left. He was probably thinking that her and her sister had embarrassed him and didn't want to bother with them anymore.

Although my father and Ji Yuan have fallen out, this is the only person the Prince Qi's Mansion can rely on now.

Now that Ji Ningxi has been brought back to the palace, they must make good use of this chess piece. This is also the reason why the sisters and their father are willing to get close to Ji Ningxi.

"Aunt Ji, don't blame my sister. You were indeed too reckless."

Qing Ning patiently consoled her, "Didn't that little whore from the brothel just say that your elder sister is leaving for Yuezhou tomorrow? As long as we can't prevent her from returning to Lin'an, the Prime Minister will continue to love you as much as before. When father ascends the throne, it won't be a big deal for you to be the Empress."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ningxi stopped crying and looked at Qingning eagerly: "Do you have a way to prevent her from coming back?"

Qingning didn't even need to speak up; Anping responded, "It's a long journey to Yuezhou, and there's no guarantee there won't be accidents along the way. Using some tricks won't be a problem."

No matter how dumb Ji Ningxi was, he could still hear the hidden meaning in her words: "Since Anping, you already had plans, why didn't you tell me just now?"

An Ping frowned silently, the wound from the cane tugging at her, and she couldn't help but groan. "My sister and I wanted to, but you just acted like that and you wouldn't listen. You've made me and my sister suffer with you. I'm afraid the young master and the eldest master are disgusted with us sisters now."

"All of this was instigated by that little bitch from the Ye family. Once we kill her, it will be easy to win back the hearts of the young master and the eldest son."

Qingning looked at Ji Ningxi and finally said comfortingly: "Don't worry about your mother's revenge. Anping and I will avenge her for you. This time we will make sure she never returns."

After hearing this, Ji Ningxi felt much less depressed and vowed, "When I become the Empress in the future, I will definitely persuade Prince Qi to make your brother the Crown Prince."

Anping and Qingning nodded with satisfaction, but their eyes were quietly fixed on her lower abdomen.

She had been given abortion medicine for several days in a row, so it must be no problem for her to abort the baby after today's beating.

As soon as the two of them finished their thoughts, Ji Ningxi felt unbearable pain in her lower abdomen. Anping and Qingning were secretly happy and pretended to ask the coachman to speed up and rush back to the palace.

……

In Cuiweitang, which had returned to peace, everyone began to talk and laugh about what had just happened in the courtyard.

Mu Qingqing looked at Ye Wanshu in disbelief for a long time, and the look in her eyes was as strange as if she didn't believe that she could tell those romantic stories.

Ye Wanshu noticed something strange about the girl and said with an embarrassed smile, "I'm sorry to disappoint Miss Mu. I'm not a lady from a wealthy family. Just like what I said to the two people in Prince Qi's mansion, I'm just a daughter of a merchant family..."

Before she finished speaking, Mu Qingqing held her hand affectionately: "Sister Wan, I like you like this."

His eyes were filled with admiration as he spoke. "When I was trapped in the Marquis' Mansion, I always wanted to share my mother's worries, fearing that one wrong step would plunge the entire mansion into an abyss. So when I met people like Anping and Princess Qingning, I could only accept their fate. Today, seeing Sister Wan, the Third Miss, and the Young Master like this, I realized that a person's confidence has nothing to do with status or power."

Glancing at the three little ones, she continued, "Even when educating children, you can't just teach them to be self-disciplined, polite, well-behaved and sensible. You also have to teach them how to deal with bad people tactfully." Although these words didn't sound like something Mu Qingqing would say, they touched Ye Wanshu's heart.

In her previous life, she often felt inferior because she was just a girl from a merchant family. She thought that it was a great blessing to be able to marry Gu Tingchen and enter the Duke's Mansion, so she only wanted to restrain herself, be polite, and be well-behaved and sensible.

Now I think that I was really degrading myself, and I felt so sorry for all the preparations my grandmother had made for me.

She has the money and the looks, so why does she have to accommodate a stinky man in every way?

Patting Mu Qingqing's palm with satisfaction, Ye Wanshu smiled and said, "Qingqing, the happiest thing about coming to Lin'an is meeting you."

These were pleasant words, but they made Mu Qingqing stunned.

Could it be that she really doesn't care about her cousin at all?

It’s better this way, so I don’t feel uncomfortable.

Looking at her with a smile, Mu Qingqing also said, "I also hope that Sister Wan and I can always be like this."

The room was happily chatting when a few maids came in after cleaning the yard. Caiju suddenly pouted and complained, "I just thought I saw those old ladies from the kitchen sneaking around Cuiweitang. I don't know what they were doing."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanshu, Gu Qingmian and Gu Tingji looked at each other. Mu Qingqing was not aware of the situation in the mansion, but the three siblings knew it very well.

The old maids in the kitchen were all big and strong, with brute force. They usually never left the kitchen. They were suddenly sent to Cuiweitang today. They must have bad intentions. This made Ye Wanshu think of her days in the Ji family.

It seems that this bastard Gu Tingchen has become suspicious after all.

"Cousin, could it be my second brother..."

Gu Tingji, a smart kid, had guessed something and was about to express his suspicions when Ye Wanshu smiled warmly and said to Mu Qingqing, "Don't be afraid. I know how to deal with these people."

She knew exactly how to control Gu Tingchen.

According to the rules, Gu Qingmian and Gu Tingji were not yet of age and could not attend the banquet in the front yard. Youyou curled her lips. Ye Wanshu first quietly asked Xingtao to run some errands for her, and then instructed Chunhong, "Chunhong, go to my aunt's courtyard and tell her that I'm not feeling well and want to stay with my cousins ​​in Cuiweitang. Qingqing and I will not be sitting in the front yard."

After saying that, he took out the birthday gift he had prepared in advance when he came from Tongyang and asked Chunhong to deliver it for him.

Her aunt had been married into the Duke's Mansion for so many years and had seen all kinds of rare things. She did not prepare any expensive gifts, but only some small items left by her grandmother about her aunt and her mother's childhood. She knew that her aunt would definitely be happy.

Chunhong took the gift and led Mother Han to the main courtyard.

Ye Huaisu didn't think much about it, because he knew his niece's wife well. He just thought that she was just making up an excuse to not want to associate with the wives of officials and nobles in Lin'an City.

Anyway, the girl was leaving tomorrow, so there was no need for her to come out and flatter the wives of officials and nobles in Lin'an City, so he instructed Mother Fang to prepare a banquet at Cuiweitang.

After hearing Chunhong's report, Gu Tingchen thought that his cousin was frightened and really fell ill. He was so anxious that he left the guests and took the court doctor and went straight to Cuiweitang.

He rushed to the yard, only to see Ye Wanshu chatting and laughing with everyone with great interest. A nameless anger suddenly rose in his heart.
