Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 166 The Prince

Old Madam Gu agreed with a smile. At this moment, Wang came in and said, "Greetings to Mother. Second sister-in-law is here too? Madam Chen is here too?"

The old lady raised her hand. What she feared was what came true. "Sit down first, then we can talk."

"Yes, Madam Chen had just sat down when my third brother's wife came over. What a coincidence." Bai said with a faint smile.

Wang looked at the indifferent Gu Qinghe, then at Madam Chen. Thinking of how they had almost become mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she chuckled, "It's been several months since Madam Chen last came over, right?"

Mrs. Chen was also a smart person. She had heard this kind of sarcastic remarks countless times and was very adept at dealing with them. "Yes, aren't we here to congratulate the Second Madam, Qinghe, and the old lady?"

At this point, Madam Chen clapped her hands as if she had just remembered something. "Oh, I forgot to congratulate Madam Three. Didn't your daughter also become a concubine to Prince Jin? That's quite a blessing, too."

Wang was choked by these words for a moment. Mrs. Chen's expression and tone of voice did not sound like congratulations at all, but rather like she was just watching the fun.

"Yes, it just so happens that Qinghe and I have a companion. It is also the fate between sisters. Speaking of fate, your son is a pity, but I believe he will definitely marry you a good daughter-in-law that suits your needs." Wang said with a gritted teeth smile.

"Well, what's the big deal? Good things take time." Mrs. Chen smiled. In her son's words, who in the world could have met the future Crown Princess? It must be because his mother was capable and allowed him to meet half of her.

"Third Madam, I was just telling the old lady that, let alone the royal family, even for ordinary families, when a daughter becomes a daughter-in-law, her parents-in-law will not ask her to do this or that. Even if they are sisters-in-law in the same family, they will each take care of their own business. Who can take care of whom?" Madam Chen was even more direct when talking to Wang.

Wang smiled awkwardly and glanced at Bai. Could it be that her second sister-in-law had told outsiders about the family affairs? She was really ignorant. Everything was fine behind closed doors, but what was the point of letting an outsider know?

Bai felt Wang's gaze, chuckled, and said nothing.

Gu Qinghe hadn't been able to interrupt the elders just now, but now that the three elders in the room were silent, as a junior, it was natural for him to step out and smooth things over. "Auntie is right, I've taken note. A while ago, I got a jade pendant that looks like it would be a perfect match for the young lady from the Chen family. I'll pick it up later, so it can be considered as returning the favor."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen's smile became more genuine.

Old Madam Gu glanced at Gu Qinghe and felt satisfied. Although this child was stubborn, he was sensible and knew how to calm down. She also held her forehead and coughed twice.

Everyone present also understood what the old lady meant. Bai stood up and said, "Mother, your daughter-in-law is tired of watching you. Why don't you rest for a while? Madam Chen, please come sit with me for a while."

"Look at me, I only remember the trivialities of family life. Old lady, you should take a rest." Mrs. Chen also stood up and followed Bai out.

Wang sat there for a while, and only stood up after Bai and his group had gone far away. The chair made a clanging sound, and it was obvious that she was very angry.

"Please stay, Mr. Third Brother. I have something to tell you." The old lady looked at the table and said in a deep voice.

"Mother, my second sister-in-law looks down on our third branch. Isn't it just because Qinghe wants to be the Crown Princess? She actually found an outsider to flatter us." Wang said indignantly.

Old Madam Gu sighed deeply. She said she had something to say, but before she could utter a single word, Wang Shi interrupted her and said, "If you still want to act on your anger, go back to the third room and copy the scriptures."

Upon hearing this, Wang naturally fell silent and waited for her mother-in-law to speak.

"You've been going to the second room every now and then lately, and you're afraid others will find out. Madam Chen is the wife of the Jinyiwei envoy. She's a Jinyiwei person, so she knows everything." Old Madam Gu said, putting down the cup in her hand heavily, "Don't think others are so petty."

"Ah, this." Wang said timidly.

"Go back. As I said before, you have to live your own life. It's no use relying on Qinghe as the Crown Princess. You should know that the relationship between brothers in the royal family is not like that between your husband and his eldest and second brothers."

Mrs. Gu’s point was already very clear, and then she held Mother Liu’s arm and returned to the inner room.

Wang was the only one left in the hall. She thought about what she had just heard and Gu Qinghe's indifferent look, and wondered, when this third girl no longer pleases the prince, when the prince's backyard gradually becomes full, when he becomes the emperor and the election is held every three years, will she still be able to maintain this nonchalant attitude?

The days are long and the road is far, so we will see what lies ahead as we go.

In the courtyard of the second house, Madam Chen and Mrs. Bai sat together, talking about the interesting stories of the little boy Gu Feng. After chatting for a while, Madam Chen took the initiative to talk about her motivation for coming to tell the old lady all this today.

"Second Madam, to be honest, I'm a straightforward person, but I'm not that magnanimous." Madam Chen smiled and said, "The Crown Prince sent Chen Yuan to tell him that he doesn't like the Third Madam of the Gu family constantly disturbing your peace. That's why I came here. The gifts I brought today were sent by Han, the chief steward of the Eastern Palace."

Hearing this, Mrs. Bai chuckled twice. Although she had guessed it long ago, she still said, "I see. Thank you for troubling Madam Chen. This can be considered an opportunity. We can continue this kind of communication."

"Okay, I like dating you too." Madam Chen said with a smile, "The prince is very attentive to Qinghe. I don't think she will suffer."

At the beginning, the Crown Prince took the Empress Dowager to Xiangguo Temple to intercept their family's Hu. Although she complained that the abbot had betrayed the location of the wedding, the temple was called "Xiangguo Temple" and she had no choice but to accept it with the money from the palace.

At that time, she felt sorry for Gu Qinghe, thinking that the prince was probably attracted by her beauty and wanted to try something new. However, the emperor's decree of marriage was different from that of previous dynasties. There was no concubine. She thought that the prince treated Gu Qinghe differently.

Later, the cousin of the Ruan family who lived in the palace passed away, and she took on this job again, which made her even more certain that the prince was showing his loyalty to the princess.

"Yes, as parents, this is what we look forward to." Therefore, Gu An has been very attentive in the court recently, trying to make his words carry more weight, and so that his daughter's weight in the prince's heart will also be more important.

Gu Qinghe brought Yingchun to the door and heard the conversation between her mother and Mrs. Chen. Thinking of her father who had been going out early and coming back late recently, she was moved. Her parents had thought about her and worked so hard for her, so she couldn't let them down.

Yingchun held an exquisite wooden box in her hand. Seeing that the girl hadn't gone in for a while, she whispered to her, "Girl..."
