Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 459

The princess's trip was a big event, and the temple had to be cleared in advance, which was bound to cause chaos.

But although the young prince is favored, he has no power. Mobilizing a large number of troops would easily lead to criticism. Moreover, Jiang Yue wanted to keep a low profile on this trip to avoid being laughed at for being jealous of the concubine's pregnancy and wanting a child. If she fails to have a child, even more unpleasant words will be flying around.

In other words, if Jiang Yue was just a concubine, there would not be much need to worry even if she was not pregnant.

Qin Sui understood what Jiang Yue meant. She wanted her to be responsible for her safety and confidentiality. She felt hesitant and unhappy.

From the very beginning, she and Jiang Yue were never together out of friendship, but simply cooperating and exchanging interests time and time again.

Now, Jiang Yue seemed to regard herself as a subordinate. To outsiders, it seemed that Qin Cui had been currying favor with Yao Xiang before, and after Yao Xiang left, she started to curry favor with Jiang Yue.

In fact, the real situation was not like this at all. To be honest, Jiang Yue relied on Qin Sui more, but there were very few ways she could help Qin Sui.

Jiang Yue seemed to see Qin Sui's reluctance and said, "I know you don't want to do this because this matter has no benefit for you."

Qin Cui smiled but agreed.

She wanted Jiang Yue to understand that they were not close friends and there was no such thing as them caring about each other.

"How about I just consider it as a favor to you?" Jiang Yue said.

"You can ask your mother, Madam Jiang, to accompany you. Besides, Marquis Jianyong will definitely protect the princess' safety."

"It's sad to say that I would rather believe you than trust my father completely." Jiang Yue's eyes flashed with sadness: "What about my mother? She has too many considerations about my father, my brother, and my family in her heart."

Therefore, she would rather find someone who is trustworthy and can discuss profit cooperation with her.

Qin Sui understood that in her previous life and when she was reborn, no one could help her, and she didn't trust anyone.

But Qin Sui didn't expect Jiang Yue to think so. After all, Mrs. Jiang was not as weak and uneducated as Mrs. Su was back then.

"When I was very young, I knew that my mother had to protect me, my younger brother, the Jiang family's reputation, and the future of her family. Therefore, she was the most tolerant and compromising, and that's why she allowed the princess of the Jiang family to come back at any time after her marriage to show off her power and be arrogant. To put it bluntly, the servants of our Jiang family listened to my mother's words 70% and perfunctorily 30%, but when it came to my sister's words, they absolutely obeyed her and never dared to disobey her in the slightest."

In the final analysis, it was all because of Marquis Jianyong that the dignity of the mistress of the Marquis's mansion declined. The eldest daughter of the Jiang family was raised to be arrogant and domineering, while the second daughter was patient and scheming. She had to plan everything on her own. At the same time, the sisters in the same family were as hostile as enemies.

Therefore, a harmonious family brings prosperity, while discord in the family is the beginning of disaster.

After all the talk, Qin Sui was moved by compassion and agreed. After all, Jiang Yue said she owed him a favor.

On a particular day, Qin Su invited Jiang Yue and Liu to go for a visit to Liu's family's farm outside the city. Also traveling with them were Su and her children, Liu's children, Liu's sister-in-law, and two other wives of officials who had been close to Qin Su.

The group traveled in a grand procession. Jiang Yue and Qin Sui were sitting in a carriage. Seeing the fanfare in front and behind, they couldn't help but smack their lips and were a little dissatisfied: "Didn't I say to move forward quietly, but you made such a big scene? How are we going to hide it when the time comes?"

Qin Sui smiled and said, "I have my own arrangements. No one will frame you for this."

It was already afternoon when they arrived at the farm that day. They ate something and rested. At night, they lit a bonfire in the yard and the servants roasted a lamb over the fire. The children were so happy that they almost went crazy with joy.

We drank that night and stayed out late so we could sleep late the next day.

However, Qin Sui and Jiang Yue set off in a carriage before dawn. The manor was not far from the foot of the mountain behind the Guanyin Temple. The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain and changed to a sedan chair to carry Jiang Yue, but Jiang Yue refused.

"I heard that if you want to ask for the Buddha's blessing, sincerity is the most important thing."

So Jiang Yue put on a veil and walked onto the stone path with Qin Sui.

When they reached the top of the mountain, it was just dawn when someone had already come to take care of everything. They had already started the morning prayers. Amid the low chanting of scriptures and the sound of wooden fish, Jiang Yue knelt in front of the Buddha statue and kowtowed devoutly.

Qin Cui only had one child, and Su often urged her to take care of herself and have two more children. However, she and Xiao Chenyu both felt that one child was enough.

Even though Jiang Yue wanted a child before, Qin Sui only thought that she did it to consolidate her position.

But at this moment, she was standing in a corner watching Jiang Yue kowtow devoutly, and suddenly she felt moved. She couldn't help but find an empty cushion to kneel down and pray.

Jiang Yue waited until the morning class was over before getting up. She drew a lot and it turned out to be a very good one. She couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on her face.

The two of them quickly left the back mountain and went straight back to the house from the back door of the manor. They changed their clothes before going out. Everyone played a little late last night, but they all got up.

After having brunch together, they packed up and headed back to the city. For the family members in the rear house, it was a rare opportunity to rest for a night like this.

However, the children found the bonfire barbecue last night too attractive and were making a fuss and unwilling to leave. Qin Sui’s son started to make a fuss first, and the children begged to rest for another night.

Su was the first person to surrender. She said she wanted to stay for a few days with the children. This farm was Liu's mother's home, so it was not easy for her sister-in-law to leave. She also said it was rare for them to come out, so they wanted to stay for a few more days. Liu was not willing to leave either.

Jiang Yue's status is different, so it is not convenient for her to stay outside for too long, so she must go back. Qin Sui can't let Jiang Yue go back alone.

The two ladies who got along well with Qin Sui followed Jiang Yue and Qin Sui's instructions and naturally followed them back.

The group split into two groups, half stayed behind, while Qin Sui, Jiang Yue and the two wives returned to the city.

Because of talking about these things and having lunch, we were delayed a little late.

Qin Sui left most of the guards and servants at the manor, but because the two ladies and Jiang Yue also had quite a few people with them, this group of people stood out.

It was already dark when they entered the city. The two ladies walked a short distance before going their separate ways. Qin Sui insisted on seeing Jiang Yue off before heading home.

After Qing Gu got married, he no longer stood guard at night. The people who followed Qin Sui were Qing Qian and two maids. Apart from the carriage driver, there were only two guards outside.

That night, Qin Su and her group did not return home, and Xiao Chenyu thought that Qin Su was still at the farm. Although he was a little worried, he did not think much about it.

The next day, Xiao Chenyu returned home from the palace and found that Qin Cui had not come back yet. He then became alert. After all, it was impossible for Princess Jiang to stay away for several days.

So Xiao Chenyu hurriedly sent someone to ask Princess Jiang, only to find out that Qin Cui had returned to the city last night.

When Xiao Chenyu heard the news, his mind went blank, his legs went weak, and he almost fell down. Fortunately, Xiao Hanyang heard the news and came over to inquire about the situation, and then he helped his second uncle sit down.

"Uncle, now is not the time to panic. Calm down first. Aunt is missing in the capital, someone must have done it on purpose. The purpose behind this is self-evident. We must not lose our composure and let someone take advantage of us. Aunt is still waiting for us to rescue her!"
