Liang Hengshao ordered his men to keep an eye on Ge Chunying and Ge Chunru.
Liang Hengyu asked, “Second Brother, why are you keeping an eye on these two?”
Liang Hengshao answered truthfully, “Ge Chunru isn’t someone who is law-abiding. Since she’s going to meet her sister, she might be up to something. Keeping an eye on them makes me feel more at ease.”
Liang Hengyu thought for a moment. “That’s true.”
On the other hand, Ge Chunying immediately went back to the courtyard to change her clothes and went to the second prince’s consort’s courtyard.
After explaining the purpose of her visit, although the second prince’s consort felt a little uncomfortable, she didn’t put herself in a difficult position.
She just wanted her to return as soon as possible.
Thus, Ge Chunying went to the general’s residence.
Seeing that the general’s residence was inferior to the second prince’s residence in every aspect, a trace of arrogance appeared in Ge Chunying’s eyes.
Especially after entering the residence, the housekeeper, the servant girl, and the servant boy treated her even more warmly.
This also made Ge Chunying feel a sense of superiority.
She was no longer that little girl who lived under someone else’s roof.
If the second prince could take that position in the future, she could also take a step forward.
These people’s faces would definitely change again.
She went directly to Ge Chunru’s courtyard.
Seeing that there were people guarding outside the courtyard, she was very displeased.
She instructed the servant girl, “Go and invite my brother-in-law over.”
After the servant girl went to invite Xiao Yuanshi, she walked inside.
Upon entering the door, she saw her elder sister with a haggard expression. She was even more displeased with Xiao Yuanshi. “Elder sister.”
Ge Chunru stood up and pulled her over to sit down. “Chunying, you’re here.”
She looked at her younger sister with a gratified expression. “Looks like you’re really favored in the second prince’s estate. I’m relieved now.”
If she wasn’t favored, how could a side concubine have the right to return to her maternal house whenever she wanted to.
Ge Chunying said shyly, “His Highness really dotes on me.”
Ge Chunru’s gaze fell on her lower abdomen. “Then is it done?”
At the mention of this, Ge Chunying’s expression was a little unnatural.
However, she and her biological sister depended on each other. After thinking for a while, she said, “I… I haven’t consummated my marriage with His Highness yet.”
Ge Chunru was shocked. “Why?”
Ge Chunying replied, “His Highness said that I’m still young and she is afraid of hurting my body.”
When Ge Chunru heard that, she heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. The second prince really dotes on you.”
She then suggested, “However, you still have to consummate your marriage with the second prince as soon as possible and give birth to a son as soon as possible. Only then will you be able to stand firm in the backyard in the future.”
Ge Chunying sighed. “I want to, but I can’t force His Highness. If I take the initiative, he might think I’m frivolous.”
She hadn’t consummated her marriage for a day, but her heart was actually floating.
Ge Chunru’s thoughts changed. “I know a recipe for making soup. As long as a man drinks it, he’ll want to consummate his marriage. You can try it.”
Ge Chunying was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, she still nodded. “Okay, then give me the recipe, sister.”
Then, the two of them chatted about their lives in the manor.
Ge Chunying said, “I’ve already asked His Highness to go to the northern border to save our second brother. You don’t have to worry anymore.”
Ge Chunru also heaved a sigh of relief when she heard what she said. “That’s good. Your brother-in-law is now completely captivated by that vixen in the side courtyard.”
Ge Chunying snorted coldly. “So we can’t spoil him. When he comes over later, I’ll give him a lesson.”
She had always known that her brother-in-law wanted to seek refuge with the second prince.
And she was the second prince’s woman, Xiao Yuanshi had to look up to her.
Ge Chunru’s heart warmed. “Alright!”
Her younger sister had come back to support her on purpose.
Of course, she wouldn’t refuse.
Then, she gritted her teeth and said, “How do you think we can destroy Xiao Hanzheng and his younger sister?”
If it weren’t for Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo, how could Tao Liu have come to the general’s residence.
There were also the other two b * stards.
When she thought of how they called her “little lady”and “Sister Ge”, she was so angry that her heart ached.
The people she hated the most right now were Xiao Hanzheng’s family.
Ge Chunying asked in return, “What do you want to do?”
Ge Chunru said, “Destroy Xiao Baili’s innocence first, and embarrass Xiao Hanzheng as well.
“I hope to do this before the court examination. This way, Xiao Hanzheng will most likely not be able to enter the top three.
“Originally, I wanted Zheng Tongfeng to directly destroy Xiao Baili’s innocence and let others catch this by chance.
“When the time comes, I’ll let Zheng Tongfeng say that Xiao Baili took the initiative to seduce him.
“In the end, the two of them were forced to do that.
“When he marries Xiao Baili, Zheng Tongfeng will be able to allow the woman he likes to enter his family.”
Ge Chunying did not think that her sister was at fault.
After all, it was Xiao Hanzheng and the others who had harmed her sister first.
“I heard that the second madam of the public administrative house is going to hold a flower-viewing banquet in a few days’ time.
“At that time, she will invite the wives of officials who are fourth rank and above to the banquet with their families.
“Her son, Qi Yiyang, will also invite this year’s scholars. They can also bring their families to attend this flower-viewing banquet.”
It was actually some sort of disguised blind date.
The mothers would see if there were any future scholars who were suitable for their daughters.
“You will definitely be among the invited people, sister. Zheng Tongfeng’s mother will also be invited.
“If Qi Yiyang doesn’t invite Zheng Tongfeng, let him go with his mother.
“Xiao Hanzheng will most likely bring Shi Qingluo and Xiao Baili.”
She leaned closer to Ge Chunru and said in a low voice, “Then you will let Zheng Tongfeng…”
Ge Chunru’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “Alright, let’s do it.”
“When the time comes, in front of so many ministers’ wives and young ladies, as well as this batch of promising examinees, Xiao Baili will do something that will ruin her innocence.
“Not only will she be humiliated, but she will also make Xiao Hanzheng embarrassed too.
“Even if the emperor wants to personally appoint him as a first-class candidate in the future, he will have to consider it carefully.
“After all, having such an indecent sister will not be good for Xiao Hanzheng’s reputation.
“Let’s do it.”
She thought for a moment and said, “But your brother-in-law grounded me, and he won’t even let my servant girls out.
“His men don’t dare to stop me from delivering the letter to you.
“But it will be a little troublesome to deliver the message to Zheng Tongfeng.”
Upon mentioning this, her resentment towards Xiao Yuanshi increased a little.
Ge Chunying smiled and comforted him, “It’s alright, leave this to me.”
The two of them made another plan, and Xiao Yuanshi also came to the courtyard.
Ge Chunying did not take the initiative to stand up this time, bowed and greeted Xiao Yuanshi as usual.
Instead, she sat in her seat and nodded slightly at Xiao Yuanshi. “Brother-in-law!”
When Xiao Yuanshi saw her like this, he was very unhappy.
She had just entered the second prince’s residence not long ago, and she was already behaving like this?
He shaked her hand Chunying. “Greetings, Concubine Ge.”
Ge Chunying got straight to the point the moment she arrived. “Brother-in-law is really getting more and more imposing.
“All these years, my sister has worked so hard for you and for this family.
“Yet, for the sake of a concubine, you actually grounded my sister and made her suffer. Isn’t this too much?”
Xiao Yuanshi was not stupid.
When he heard this, how could he not know that Ge Chunying had asked someone to invite him over so that she could teach him a lesson.
A wave of anger rose in his heart.
She was really good.
Just because she was pampered in the second prince’s residence, she was actually showing off in front of him.
He was extremely angry.
He did not expect Ge Chunying to be an ingrate as well.
She was just a side consort who entered the second prince’s residence through his connections. What would happen if she was a crown prince’s consort?
Right now, his heart ached for her lavish dowries.
They had all gone to feed a dog.
As a result, he couldn’t help but feel anger and disgust towards Ge Chunru that he had never felt before.
She had actually allied with her sister to humiliate him, wanting to give him a beating.
Very good.
He replied in a neither soft nor hard manner, “Side Concubine Ge must be joking. I didn’t ground your sister.
“It’s just that her health isn’t good, so I let her stay in the courtyard to recuperate. After that, she can follow me to the northern border.”
Ge Chunying played with the teacup in her hand. “Looks like I’ve misunderstood.”
She continued, “I see that my sister’s health has improved quite a bit. From today onwards, she should be able to freely enter and exit the courtyard and the general’s residence, right?”
Xiao Yuanshi sneered in his heart. She was here to support her sister.
He did not refute Ge Chunying. “She’s not grounded to begin with. Naturally, she can come and go as she pleases.”
He had already invested so much money and stuff on her, but it wasn’t worth it now.
If she wanted him to lift this grounding, then he would.
He just wanted to see what these two women could do. Hmph.
