Chapter 184 Going to the Border to Block

"What! That bitch is still alive! How is that possible? Are you mistaken?"

Inside the side room, Cheng Weining became furious after receiving the reply.

According to the memories of the previous life, Cheng Weiyao should have died on the way of exile long ago. How could she have successfully arrived at the place of exile in this life and lived happily with Wen Chengyun?

"It's a mess, everything is a mess, things shouldn't be like this..."

Cheng Weining couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and paced back and forth in the room. Not only did that bitch Cheng Weiyao occupy her position as princess in her previous life, but she still had the nerve to live now.

If a boy or girl is born, wouldn't the position of Princess Qingping be secure? Men all like to have children and value reputation. Especially when the emperor appoints talented people, abandoning their wives and children is almost uncommon.

Xiao Tao lay quietly at Cheng Weining's feet with her head down, not moving, her eyes filled with deep worry.

Everything her young lady had done since waking up had been very unusual, and she suspected she had been possessed by some unclean spirit. She wondered how many concubines had drowned in the water pits deep within the palace, many of them the souls of the wronged.

"You should get out first. You're an eyesore watching from here." "Don't tell anyone what I told you to do today! Remember that!"

Cheng Weining actually thought of a solution. Her brows relaxed, and she waved her hand to signal Xiaotao to go out. Before leaving, she did not forget to give Xiaotao a fierce warning.

Her plan was to rush to the border, even if Cheng Weiyao, the legitimate wife, was still alive. But how long had it been?

Men all like beautiful women. The road to the border is already difficult and dangerous. I am afraid that the few beautiful women there are will have turned into yellow-faced women.

In addition to her status as a substitute bride, and the fact that such a beautiful bride had come all the way to her door, she really didn't believe that Wen Chengyun would be able to control himself and not be tempted?

The more she thought about it, the more excited Cheng Weining became. She immediately began to rummage through boxes and drawers to pack up her gold and silver jewelry. Whether it was by carriage or boat, she couldn't let the long journey waste her time...

Xiao Tao, who was outside the door, heard the noise inside and simply ran to Li's room to report it. She felt that with her status, she would definitely not be able to stop them. If she alarmed the master, the young lady would definitely be scolded. After thinking it over, she decided to inform the lady...

When Li heard that Cheng Weining had regained consciousness, even though she had rejected the marriage proposal from Prince Pingyang, she was actually very happy. As long as her daughter's life was safe, she could consider her marriage in the long run.

"Going to the border? Are you sure you heard me clearly? This is a serious matter, you can't afford to talk nonsense!"

After hearing Xiaotao's words, Li stood up from the table. The embroidery needle she was using pierced her hand, and her hand turned red without her realizing it.

She thought her daughter had other plans, but she didn't expect that her plan would fall on an exile. It was undeniable that the appearance and demeanor of Prince Qingping were indeed unmatched in the entire capital.

How could an abandoned child have the right to marry the apple of their Duke's eye? In the past, given the status of Prince Qingping, it would have been a great marriage.

But now the situation has changed. If Cheng Weining is determined to marry Wen Chengyun, then she would be marrying a lower class woman. It would be better for her to marry Prince Pingyang, who has a brighter future.

"Madam, what are you discussing that has you so angry? Tell me about it."

As luck would have it, Cheng Li had already finished discussing the matter with Duke Cheng. The two felt that Cheng Weining's words made sense and decided to wait and see.

Considering Duke Cheng's attitude towards his wife when they were in his daughter's room before, Cheng Li went back to his room eagerly to coax her.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Li's face changed drastically. She didn't even realize that her hand was injured. He held her hand with a distressed look on his face, wanting to ask about her well-being.

"I'm fine. Now is not the time to worry about these little things..."

If it were any other time, Li might really take the opportunity to act coquettishly, but today, the news brought by Xiaotao made her feel upset, so she was not in the mood to do so.

He originally planned to discuss it with Cheng Li, but was worried that his daughter would be blamed. After thinking it over, he decided to go there in person.

"Husband, you take a rest first. I'll go check on Wei Ning..."

Li left in a hurry, and Xiaotao hurriedly followed her.

Cheng Li glanced at Xiao Tao and realized that this was the maid in his daughter's room. Both of them looked nervous, and he felt a little suspicious.

Cheng Weining had already packed his bags and was about to push the door open and sneak into the backyard and leave through the back door.

As soon as the door opened, she saw Li with a cold face. Cheng Weining's expression stiffened again for a moment, and she almost immediately turned her gaze to Xiaotao who was looking down at her toes.

"Xiao Tao!"

Xiao Tao, who was named, trembled and fell to her knees. She meant well and was prepared to be blamed by the young lady, but in the end she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"Xiao Tao is just a girl, why are you so angry at her? I want to ask my dear daughter what's going on in your heart!"

Mrs. Li grabbed Cheng Weining's arm and went into the room. She had always treated her precious daughter by holding her in her mouth for fear of her melting, or by holding her in her hands for fear of her dropping. She had never used such great force before.

Even though Cheng Weining wanted to struggle, in the end he could only be dragged into the room obediently.

Xiao Tao knew that she had offended Cheng Weining, so she didn't dare to follow him and simply stayed outside the door to watch. Unexpectedly, just after closing the door, she looked up and saw Cheng Li's majestic face.

Seeing Xiao Tao's terrified face, Cheng Li became even more certain that something was wrong. He made a hushing gesture and stood outside the door silently, eavesdropping.

The mother and daughter in the room knew nothing about this, especially Cheng Weining, who thought he knew everything about his past life and was determined to go to the border.

"Mother, you have to believe me. When has my vision ever been bad? Prince Qingping is truly an excellent choice for a son-in-law. I've truly decided that I will marry no one but him!"

Cheng Weining actually thought about telling Li everything, but the things of past and present lives were too mysterious.

I don't know how that damn girl Xiaotao described it to her mother. She actually suspected that she was possessed by a ghost. If she were to talk about her past life again at this time, I'm afraid she would really have to be appeased by a ritual.

"You're confused! Wen Chengyun's been gone for so long, all these miles. What kind of magic potion did he give you? I think you just fell into the water and got hurt. Just rest in your room for the next few days!"

Li was so angry that she turned pale. She was a very good talker, but she suffered a loss in front of her own flesh and blood.

Unable to persuade Cheng Weining, she could only choose to issue a house arrest order in a stern tone!
