Chen Ziling was the first to answer: "Of course! Do you really think that Mrs. Kaiyang Hou will be grateful to you after you saved the grandson?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Madam Kaiyanghou thinks the same as me. Since you can save the grandson, of course you can also cure him! You said the cure was not good, but you were just retaliating for her beating and scolding you earlier. "
Chen Anning nodded, "That's it."
Chen Ziling gloated: "In a few days, the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion will go to the Chen family again to recruit people. At that time, everyone in the capital will know that you will marry the grandson on my behalf. So, what princes, nobles, and Sir Xie, Just don’t think about it!”
"No respectable nobleman from aristocratic families would marry a young lady who is engaged to the grandson."
Chen Anning joked, "So, this is why you tried every possible means to plot against Prince Zhao, even at the risk of destroying your own innocence?"
Chen Ziling clenched her palms tightly, gritted her silver teeth secretly and said, "So what!"
"I might as well tell you one more thing. You'd better not waste your efforts. When I was discussing with Mrs. Kaiyang Hou to let you marry to Kaiyang Hou Mansion on my behalf, I told her that she should first talk to her before making the appointment. All the governments are angry that you want to marry the grandson."
"If nothing unexpected happens, all the prefectures in the capital have now received the news that you will marry to the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but become excited again.
So what if her plan fails?
After going round and round, she, Chen Anning, is still going to marry to the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion, and be humiliated and suppressed by that fat pig-like idiot!
Seeing her frivolous and complacent look, Chen Anning kindly reminded her, "Your plan is indeed very good and very vicious, but have you ever considered that I am a disciple of a miracle doctor, and I can kill two imperial doctors?" Needless to say how valuable I am if the prince saves me."
"With such value, those respectable aristocratic dignitaries you talk about may not be willing to marry me, but it is easy to stop you and the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion's plan."
"It is indeed not a wise move to offend the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion, but compared to a miracle doctor who can save their lives, what is the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion?"
Chun Rui spoke up at the right time: "I don't know whether other powerful families will come forward to stop her. But as long as Miss Chen Er is in need, no matter what the price, the Princess's Mansion will help her to the end!"
Chen Ziling snorted with an ugly face, "Who doesn't know how to speak nonsense!"
Chun Rui said: "This slave is really not talking big words..."
"Really? You don't just say it with your mouth." After Chen Ziling interrupted her coldly, she glanced at Qiu and sneered, "You don't know yet, right? Your mother asked your grandmother for fifty taels of silver, saying This is to compensate you for the grievances you suffered after returning to the capital."
Chen Anning looked at Mrs. Qiu, saw her guilty and flattering smile, and immediately said: "Where is the money?"
Mrs. Qiu secretly glared at Chen Ziling and said flatteringly: "I want to save it for you first. If you need anything later, I will send someone to buy it for you."
Chen Anning was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, "Give it to me."
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and get it for you." Qiu responded and walked towards Chen Ziling.
Chen Ziling knew that she was coming to take revenge, so she quickly ran away holding her stomach.
Mrs. Qiu pretended to be reserved and walked to the corner. After Chen Anning, Chuntao and Chunrui were out of sight, she picked up her skirt and chased after her.
The reason why Chen Anning wanted to provoke them with that cup of tea, official position, and imperial edict was to make them fight each other, thereby reducing the plot against her. Seeing them fighting as they wished, they would naturally not stop them.
Return to the outer hall.
Seeing He Xiang, he had already called all the servants over.
Chen Anning said: "From today on, Qingzhiyuan belongs to me. You all belong to me too."
"I won't begrudge the reward to those who know the truth. If you don't know the truth, you can go and find out what happened to the two women in Yongfuyuan."
"I won't say any more nonsense. Qingzhiyuan is too dirty. I have to wash it with water before midnight, both inside and outside the house."
"As for which area you are each responsible for washing, it will be assigned and supervised by Hexiang."
Hexiang knew that her opportunity had come, and immediately responded: "Second Miss, don't worry, I will supervise them to rinse them thoroughly!"
Chen Anning said 'hmm', "Let's wait and see."
He Xiang excitedly stepped forward to make arrangements.
At the beginning of the Xu period.
He Xiang found Chen Anning and asked her to check the results.
Chen Anning did not go.
She still understands the principle of trusting people when you employ them and not using them when you are suspicious.
The water damage inside and outside the courtyard had not yet dried up, so Chen Anning didn't care and just slept for the night.
Early the next morning, while she was still in a hazy sleep, Qiu forced her way into the house regardless of the obstructions of He Xiang, Chuntao and Chun Rui.
After breaking in, he lifted the quilt and tried to pull her up forcefully, regardless of the fact that she hadn't opened her eyes yet.
"He Xiang, remember it clearly." Chen Anning opened his eyes and whispered, "No one is allowed to enter Qingzhiyuan without my order from now on!"
The fragrance of lotus should be there immediately.
Qiu said: "I am your mother!"
Chen Anning said: "Remember it clearly, especially mother. If anyone lets her in without my order, she should be punished by herself."
"You..." Ms. Qiu was so angry that she almost lost her temper, but after taking a look at Chun Rui and Chuntao, she swallowed her anger back.
Chen Anning glanced at the tourmaline belt hanging on her waist and asked casually: "Tell me, what happened again?"
Mrs. Qiu hummed softly, her expression a little unsightly.
The wound on her cheek scratched by Chen Anning's dagger has scabbed over, but the wound scratched by Chen Ziling yesterday was still a little bloody. It looked very scary against her face, which wanted to put on airs but didn't dare to put on airs at the moment.
"Everyone get out!" Seeing that Chen Anning had no intention of appeasing her, Mrs. Qiu could only order in an aggrieved tone.
The mother-in-law and maidservants who came with her all left.
He Xiang also planned to leave, but after taking a look at Chun Rui and Chuntao who were standing still, he decided to stay.
Mrs. Qiu glanced at them and didn't dare to chase them away.
Looking away, Mrs. Qiu looked at Chen Anning and summoned up the courage to ask, "What's going on between you and Mr. Xie?"
Chen Anning glanced at her, "Who is Mr. Xie?"
Qiu said: "Who else can I choose, Mr. Xie? Of course... the Third Young Master Xie from the Guangling Palace."
Xie Xun? Chen Anning asked calmly: "What's wrong with him?"
"Did you make an appointment with him last night?" Mrs. Qiu stared into her eyes.
Chen Anning raised her eyebrows, "Where did you get the news?"
"Answer me first," Mrs. Qiu insisted rarely, "Did nothing happen after you made an appointment with him last night?"
Chen Anning laughed, expecting that Xie Xun had spread rumors to slander her again, but thinking of what Chen Ziling said yesterday that Mrs. Kaiyanghou had informed the various mansions that she was going to marry to Kaiyanghou, she said, "What happened again?" How about it, so what if it didn’t happen?”
When Mrs. Qiu heard this, she became anxious on the spot, "You can't have anything happen to him!"
Chen Anning took another look at the tourmaline belt hanging on her waist and said with a half-smile, "Why not?"
"Of course because..."
