Chapter 73 The Crown Princess Cries and Complains

Jiang Shijin smiled. Only her own mother would say such caring words. Suddenly, she thought of the beating of gongs and drums in the yard of her mother-in-law next door. She couldn't help feeling sad for a moment.

"What's wrong? Weren't you so happy just now? What wronged you?"

Zhang had a thousand bad intentions, but she truly loved her only daughter. After she sat down, she asked anxiously. Lingzhi looked outside and saw that the maid who had just brought the Second Madam over had already left. Then she nodded to the Crown Prince's Consort.

Seeing the master and servant like this, Zhang became more and more surprised.

"You are in your own yard, is there anyone who dares to eavesdrop and tell on you?"

Jiang Shijin sighed, held his mother's hand, and tears began to fall like broken strings.

"Mother, life in this palace is so hard."

"What's wrong? You're pregnant now, who dares to embarrass you?"

Zhang was furious and asked immediately, then she thought about how happy everyone was when she just entered the mansion. She originally thought that they were entering the mansion for her, but now it seems that is not the case.

"Is there some distinguished guest in the palace, and you are not allowed to meet him?"

"Humph, he is indeed a distinguished guest, but one my daughter herself does not want to see."

"Who?"

"Mrs. Zhao from the Fengchang family and her pair of seductive daughters are here."

"What are they doing here?"

"Of course I discussed the matter of marriage with my mother-in-law. Ten days later, the two sisters will enter the mansion together as concubines of the prince. Not only that, my mother-in-law also gave the power of managing the Lanyuan to the elder sister Zhao on the grounds that I was pregnant. Now she is forcing her daughter to be superior before she enters the palace. I don't know how she will exploit me after she enters the palace."

When Jiang Shijin thought of this, he felt a little regretful.

In her previous life, she had come to the mansion to visit her elder sister. She saw that her elder sister looked cold and indifferent when she mentioned the princess and the prince. She thought that her elder sister was cold-hearted, but she didn't expect it to be such a reason.

At that time, she didn't even know about the existence of the Zhao sisters. After her eldest sister passed away, the younger sister Zhao married into Prince Chun's mansion as the successor to the Crown Prince's Consort. She wasn't very clear about what happened after that.

She originally thought that she was still in power and was pregnant again.

The Zhao sisters were not supposed to be able to come in, but unexpectedly, the mother-in-law ignored her mood during the pregnancy and directly welcomed the Zhao mother and daughter into the house, and she deliberately chose today!
Obviously, everyone in the mansion knew that her mother was coming to visit her today. By taking advantage of this coincidence, wasn't she trying to tell everyone in Prince Chun's mansion that she was not favored?

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't help but cry.

Zhang had never thought that marrying her daughter into the mansion would have such a result. Her enthusiasm was immediately dampened and she said with a frown.

"Well, I'm a good, virgin girl, and I was engaged to the prince before we got married. Not only are they not grateful that you replaced that sickly Jiang Shiyuan in the palace, but they also sent someone to humiliate you. Where is the princess's courtyard? I want to go and see what kind of people the Zhao family mother and daughter are. They are so eager to snatch someone's husband!"

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves as if he was going to fight.

The maid Lingzhi stepped forward to stop the second wife, and then Qi Mama, who brought her with her, also winked at her. The two of them stopped Zhang together and finally stopped her. "Mother, you are only asking for trouble if you go now. Mother-in-law says every day that my family has no one. My uncle has long since disliked us because of my elder sister. I have been home several times but have not been able to resolve this issue, including my elder sister. The prescription I sent last time was also returned by her. I originally thought that I could use the power of the Pei family to ease the relationship with my mother-in-law, but now it is no longer possible..."

"Do you think they will take away the position of the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Jiang Shijin now felt what it meant to be isolated and helpless. All the good things she had imagined before entering the palace had disappeared during this period of time. She had thought that after she became pregnant, her position in the palace would be much more stable.

Who would have known that the first thing her mother-in-law did after finding out she was pregnant was to arrange two beautiful concubines for her husband, the prince, and ordered people to guard the yard. They told others that it was to help her take good care of the fetus, but only she knew that she was clearly under house arrest!
It would be fine if she didn't go out. After she gave birth to her son, all the problems would be solved.

But she never expected that after only a few days, they had already negotiated with the Zhao family. The two sisters were so shameless that they didn't want to be the main wife outside and insisted on entering the mansion to be concubines!
I don’t know what benefits the mother-in-law promised them?
Or did her romantic husband have some affair with both of them before marriage?
It is easy to think too much when you are pregnant. Now, after only a few days, she is already exhausted. Compared with the days when she was pregnant in her previous life, it is very uncomfortable.

Zhang looked at her daughter's thin face and felt a little scared, but if she panicked at this moment, her daughter would become even more spineless, so she hurriedly comforted her.

"It's okay. Your grandmother and cousin should be here in a few days. Then we'll wait for your eldest brother to come back. By then, you'll have to marry your cousin by force or deception. Only then will we be a real family. Your grandmother loves your eldest brother the most. Once your cousin controls him, she'll control everyone in the first house. You won't have to apologize to his uncle and Jiang Shiyuan by then. Just use the connections and relationships that you need!"

Jiang Shijin was crying out of grievance at first, but after hearing what her mother said, she became much brighter.

"really?"

"Why would I lie to you? Mother Qi sent the news a long time ago. They should have arrived in Xijing City in half a month at most."

My maternal grandfather's family are also businessmen. Although they are not very successful, they have enough food and clothing. They have maintained contact with the Jiang family over the years. Therefore, if they come, the Jiang family will definitely treat them well.

Thinking of that beautiful cousin, Jiang Shijin also felt that this matter had a chance to succeed! After wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, she said something coquettishly to Zhang.

"My mother treats me well and thinks of everything for me."

"Silly child, you are my only blood. If I don't think about you, how can I think about outsiders? Humph, remember the grievances you suffered today. There will always be other occasions for you to be proud. The most important thing right now is the child. As long as he can be born safely, he will be the legitimate grandson of Prince Chun's Mansion. Do you understand?"

Jiang Shijin nodded heavily. She knew this better than anyone else.

Moreover, she had experienced many pregnancies in her previous life, so she knew how to take care of this child. That's why she was crying just now, but now she was smiling happily.

Upon seeing this, Zhang also said a lot of words to make her happy. Only after she left did Jiang Shijin breathe a sigh of relief, and then gave instructions to the maid Lingzhi.

"After everyone over there leaves, go and ask the prince to come over. I have something important to discuss with you."

Lingzhi frowned. Her daughter had made a fuss about the prince taking a concubine in the mansion, but the prince had never taken it to heart. If she said this now, would the prince come?

Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, Jiang Shijin remained calm and added another sentence.

"Just tell him it's about the Pei family, and he will definitely come."

"Yes, Crown Princess."

Lingzhi didn't suspect anything and walked out of Lanyuan. Hearing that it was still quiet outside, Jiang Shijin came up with a plan.
