The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Princess Changping frowned and asked the lady, "Did you really see clearly that it was Tang Chuyue?"

The lady shook her head, unsure, "But I definitely saw Princess Haiyan leave this room, so I looked at the girl in the room, and she seemed to have just cried. I think... it was Tang Chuyue. Maybe she heard what we said, right?"

Princess Changping looked very unhappy. She was careless!

In the room, Princess Ningyang and Princess Jin'an looked down from the window and happened to see Tang Chuyue getting into the carriage with the help of Ying'er.

Princess Ningyang sat down, holding her chin, "Could it be that what we just said was really heard?"

The Princess of Jin'an rolled her eyes and said, "You talk over here, I'll go to the side and listen."

After a moment, she came back and nodded, "I can hear it if I stick to the wall."

Princess Ningyang's face also became gloomy. It was not because she was worried that Tang Chuyue would be angry with her, but because she was worried that she would refuse the marriage proposal.

If Tang Chuyue doesn't marry, then... the one who will marry Xiao Rong will have to be her half-sister.

Xiao Rong had always coveted her concubine sister, and the two had been flirting with each other for a long time. If her concubine sister married into the palace, it would be fine if Xiao Rong died, but once he woke up, he would probably protect her concubine sister like the apple of his eye.

She didn't want her concubine sister to become the Crown Prince's wife. A bitch didn't deserve such a good status.

Thinking of this, Princess Ningyang offered a plan, "It seems that the Tang family still needs to work hard on Tang Chuyue's brother and sister-in-law for this marriage."

Princess Changping said, "Why bother with this?", but she had a plan in mind. She had to work hard on Tang Chuyue's brother.

After all, with such a short time left, it would be very difficult to find a woman of decent status to marry her son whose life or death was uncertain.

She tried to approach several families of similar status, but was rejected by all of them.

Now it seems that Tang Chuyue is the most suitable one.

In fact, Princess Changping did not want her son to have anything to do with Princess Ningyang's half-sister. In comparison, even if he was born by second birth, he was at least legitimate and much more respectable than a concubine's child.

After making such calculations, Princess Changping left the room with everyone in it and hurried away to get to work in a hurry.

Tang Chuyue was devastated. As soon as she returned to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, she was called over for questioning by the mistress of the house, Zheng Qiaoer.

She walked into the house nervously, thinking that it was all over and her sister-in-law was going to drive her away.

She had been living in this kind of fear every day recently, fearing that she would be driven out of the Huguogong Mansion. So when the Changping Palace came to propose marriage, she was really excited for a while, thinking that she would no longer have to live in fear as before.

But I never expected that the Prince of Changping's Palace was the place that I couldn't go to at all.

Naturally, she now has to think with her human brain, not her pig brain.

She bowed respectfully, with her head bowed.

Zheng Qiaoer said, "Sit down."

Tang Chuyue sat down, but still kept her head down, her hands nervously tugging at her handkerchief.

Zheng Qiaoer just started to speak, "I asked you to come here today..."

Tang Chuyue shuddered and tears fell down.

Zheng Qiaoer: “…”

If you don’t know, you might think I did something to you.

Zheng Qiao'er ignored her and followed Shi Anxia's instructions to make her position clear. "I called you here today because I want to tell you that whether you marry the Prince of Changping or not is up to you."

Tang Chuyue wanted to ask, if I don’t get married, can I still stay in the Duke of Huguo’s Mansion?

Her throat was choked with sobs, but she dared not ask a single word.

I also heard my eldest sister-in-law say, "If you insist on marrying into the palace, all matters will be handled by your brother and sister-in-law, and I will not interfere; you can marry from the Duke of the Protectorate's Mansion, but I will not care whether you live a good life in the future."

Seeing that she remained silent, Zheng Qiaoer emphasized, "Also, this is your own choice, and has nothing to do with me. Don't think of blaming me for whether I agree to this marriage. I'll say it again, you have the final say on your marriage. If you can't make the decision, let your brother and sister-in-law make the decision."

The pot was shaken clean, without even a drop of soup.

After hearing what her sister-in-law said, Tang Chuyue's tears of grievance flowed more and more. She lowered her head, looked at the ground, and choked up, "Sister-in-law, please don't ignore me! Wuwu... I'm so scared, sister-in-law..."

Zheng Qiaoer can't stand anyone trying to give in to her or act coquettishly. Tang Xinghe and Ma Chuyang take advantage of this and flirt with her all day long.

She yelled fiercely, but she was very soft-hearted and almost always compromised in the end.

Who would have thought that the annoying Tang Chuyue would do this? Zheng Qiaoer recalled how arrogant and domineering this girl used to be, and how she spoke rudely, as if the whole world owed her something. But when her backer fell, she suddenly became so humble, which really made her feel mixed and uncomfortable.

Zheng Qiaoer suppressed her emotions and said in a lukewarm voice, "Who cares about you? What if I become your enemy? You know very well that your mother killed the baby in my belly. To put it bluntly, your mother is my enemy, and you are also my enemy. If I don't harm you, I am doing you a good deed, isn't that right?"

Tang Chuyue's tears fell, and she wiped them away, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law! My mother...she's bad!"

For the first time, she felt a deep sense of regret in her heart and felt that her mother's behavior was really bad.

She had never thought before that such behavior could cause lifelong harm to others.

But these days, she thought about it seriously and felt that this method was despicable and disgusting.

After all, the eldest sister-in-law had never thought of harming anyone since she married into the Tang family. It was her mother who was cruel and merciless that committed such a murderous act.

She suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zheng Qiaoer, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry..."

She sincerely apologized on behalf of her mother. Of course, she also hoped that her sister-in-law would pay more attention to her.

Looking around now, there is really no one she can rely on.

Her former close friends all distanced themselves from her after the Duke of Protectorate took over.

Even if there is a flower-viewing party, I won’t send her invitations.

Those circles were getting further and further away from her, especially since the news that she had taken back the guqin she had given away had spread among the circles. Who wouldn't dislike her? Who wouldn't laugh at her?

Today, she heard with her own ears what her close friends were saying behind her back, which made her feel disheartened and as if all her sincerity towards those people over the past decade had gone to waste.

Not to mention her brother and sister-in-law, they are eager to use her to gain benefits, so what support can they talk about?

With this calculation, the only people Tang Chuyue can rely on from afar are Tang Chuyu and Zheng Qiaoer, her half-familiar elder brother and sister-in-law, and her niece, a princess with a prominent status.

She had to admit that her niece's behavior today seemed to be laughing at her, but in fact it was a warning to her. Otherwise, why would she go to the trouble of just being there to eavesdrop on her?

I guess it took a lot of effort to plan, right?

When I thought of this, a warm feeling suddenly surged in my heart.

The warm current turned into hot tears and covered his face.

None of the people Tang Chuyue thought she could rely on were supporters. Instead, those who she had distanced herself from, despised, and who had taken advantage of her in the past, could not bear to watch her jump into the sea of ​​fire and were willing to lend a hand to pull her out.

Tang Chuyue prostrated herself on the ground and burst into tears, "Sister-in-law, I won't marry! I won't marry into the Changping Palace!"
