Chapter 230: The sisters plot against each other
"Who do you want?"

"Dr. Zheng, the expert in treating women's illnesses in the Imperial Hospital."

Hearing this, Princess Qinghuan understood that she was going to use her belly as an excuse to go back. This reason was more legitimate than any excuse. However, the princess was not stupid, so she would never let her get pregnant. So they were both on guard.

"Okay, this is easy, but you have to be quick, this princess can't wait long."

Jiang Shijin seemed to have obtained a godsend opportunity at this moment. She nodded frantically and completely forgot all the things she had thought of before. Now, the opportunity in front of her was what she had been dreaming of for a long time, so of course she had to seize it.

So, after returning to the Jiang family, even his steps became much lighter.

When she turned the corner of the corridor, she happened to be seen by the fourth girl Jiang Shiyue. Now that she was one year older, she naturally understood a lot more. She usually pretended to be nice to the second sister, so she noticed some of the movements.

Ever since leaving Prince Chun's Mansion, she had never seen her second sister express such excitement. She wondered if she had any other way out, so she followed her quietly.

There are no people with ulterior motives in Jinfangyuan nowadays. The brother and sister Jiang Huaishan and Jiang Huaiyi have worked together to clean up many pests in the house. Therefore, those who can stay are all loyal, and of course they will not do anything to instigate others.

Back in the house, Jiang Shijin forced herself to calm down. She had already started dreaming about how she would get whatever she wanted next. However, the maid Lingzhi beside her was a little worried.

"Miss, are you really going to accept the princess' words? Will there be any problems? Didn't my aunt say a few days ago that she had already chosen families for you and the fourth lady? You can go and see them after the New Year. If you really go back to Prince Chun's Mansion now, I'm afraid you and the Jiang family will have no room for maneuver."

"What do you know? That's the palace. My mother-in-law who used to suppress me is gone, and Concubine Xun's lineage can't do anything. The one we have to fight back and forth is nothing more than Concubine Zhao. Do you think her confidence and background can be compared with the princess's palace? Seeing that this is a great way to the sky, even if the palace is overthrown in the future, I can take advantage of these few years to recruit some people. By then, how can I live in the mountains and rivers? Do I have to listen to my aunt and marry a family with no bright future?"

"But, then you have no way out."

"A way out? When I have enough money in my hands, I will be my own way out. My mother has been planning for me for so many years, but in the end, she was killed by my uncle. He just took advantage of the power. Now I can vent my anger for my mother. If I don't do it, won't people say that I am an incompetent daughter?"

After hearing these words, Lingzhi knew that she could no longer persuade him.

She sighed in her heart, not knowing whether she should tell her aunt. However, before she could even think of anything, she heard Jiang Shijin's warning.

"If you dare to leak a word about what happened today, I will tell the princess and ruin her good deeds. Even if your nine clans are killed, it will not be enough to pay for it!"

Lingzhi was so scared that she immediately knelt on the ground. She knew how powerful the princess was, so even if she had ten thousand thoughts in her mind, she didn't dare to say anything at this moment.

Seeing her frightened look, Jiang Shijin showed satisfaction. Unfortunately, her mind was full of thoughts on how to gain benefits from this good event back home, but she did not notice that Jiang Shiyue was standing outside the window and eavesdropping. She remembered everything the master and servant said in bits and pieces in her mind.

Returning to Yueying Pavilion, Jiang Shiyue sighed coldly.

"We are all daughters of the Jiang family, why should they always be superior to me!" The eldest sister married into the Pei family, and the third sister also agreed to marry into the Qin family. Originally, she thought that no matter how bad she was, it was better than the second sister who had to remarry anonymously. Who knew that now, the second sister actually got a connection with the princess's mansion and wanted to return to Prince Chun's mansion.

If that's the case, then she is the only one who married unjustly!
Therefore, the marriage proposed by her aunt seemed like a joke to her at this moment. She naturally dared not think about competing with her elder sister. But why could her second sister live a good life again and again? Is this fair?

When Jiang Shiyue thought of this, he became full of calculations.

From now on, she would do nothing but stare at her second sister. She wanted to see what tricks her second sister could come up with!

The thought took root in his mind, and not long after the matter of the second house had been settled, a wave of disturbance arose again.

The wind and snow were blowing outside, and the new year was coming quietly in such a cold winter.

This is the first time that Jiang Shiyuan celebrates the New Year in Hanzhou. At this time last year, she was pregnant in the army. Although the environment was not as good as it is now, it was much more lively than at home.

One day before the New Year, she specially brought gifts back to the Pei family's old house.

The implicit meaning of the words was that they would not celebrate the festival here this year either, so Marshal Pei did not need to worry. However, Marshal Pei did not say anything. Instead, Pei Zixiang, who had been recuperating from illness, said a few words in a pretentious tone.

But she was rebuked by Aunt An, who was always good-tempered.

Jiang Shiyuan knew in his heart that this was not about her face but about Aunt Mushao's medical skills. The Pei family came to ask for help three or four times a day, but was rejected by Aunt Mushao. Later, it was Madam Pei who stepped forward and ordered the servants to guard the door, which made the people from the old house return empty-handed.

Marshal Pei and Aunt An always thought that if possible, they would like to ask Aunt Mushao for help. Unfortunately, Aunt Mushao is now fully focused on teaching Liuhua and has no intention of going out.

So the relationship between the two sides was subtle and complicated, but this year was quite warm.

On New Year's Eve, Pei Zisu's two siblings were not in Hanzhou. They just sent someone to deliver a letter home, informing them that they could not return. As for where exactly they were, neither the mother-in-law nor the daughter-in-law knew.

Fortunately, there were two sweet children at the table, so it wasn't too lonely.

All in all, the child is now almost five months old and is at the age of being curious. After the hundred-day banquet, the two of them have not appeared in other occasions. One reason is that Mrs. Pei does not like socializing, and the other is that they are very cautious and do not intend to let others see them too often.

Therefore, in the entire house, only the maids and old women who serve them personally are seen more often, and other people in the yard rarely see the two young masters.

Today is New Year's Eve. Mrs. Pei is wearing a dark red dress with a floral pattern of eight treasures, fortune, longevity and happiness. She looks much brighter than usual. She has spent a lot of time with her children these days, so the coldness in her body has faded a lot, and she looks more kind.
