In her previous life, Zhao Qingyan grew up in an orphanage. She unexpectedly activated a pocket dimension and began hoarding supplies. After spending all her savings, an accident transported her to...
The eldest princess nodded.
"Since Zhao Minggeng meets the requirements for my consort, putting aside the issue of seniority, we can consider him."
However, I will not do anything that forces others to do something against their will.
"Uncle Wa, take this invitation and invite the Zhao family girl to my residence."
Uncle Wa was delighted to hear this and immediately went to carry it out.
The princess's maidservant, however, did not approve of Zhao Minggeng.
"Princess, Lord Zhao has two sons and a daughter. Everyone says that being a stepmother is difficult. Why don't you choose a young man to be your consort?"
Yan Yue looked at the old woman.
"Granny, you've been with me for so many years, don't you know what I'm thinking?"
If I only wanted a man to relieve my boredom, why would I have been a widow for so many years?
"Alright, I'm tired. You may go and rest, nanny."
The old woman quickly knelt down, "Princess, please forgive me. I have overstepped my bounds. Please punish me."
Yan Yue's eyes were cold; what she hated most were clueless lackeys.
"Considering that my nanny has been with me for so many years, I will not hold it against her today."
"Go down."
The old woman quickly kowtowed to express her gratitude.
Only she knew in her heart that the princess had rejected her.
I regretted it as I walked.
How could she not hold back her mouth? She knew perfectly well what kind of temper the princess had.
What I hate most is being told what to do and having my thoughts controlled by others.
I wonder where the princess sent her in her anger.
In fact, Yan Yue decided to transfer the nanny away from her side.
Over the past six months, Princess Yanyue has noticed that the old nanny beside her has developed quite a few ulterior motives.
For example, she would intentionally or unintentionally mention how good-looking and well-behaved her mother and nephew were.
On another occasion, her nephew, under the pretext of visiting his aunt, entered the backyard of the princess's residence.
This kid, upon seeing the flowers and plants in the backyard, recited a poem, his voice so loud that he seemed afraid the people in the back garden wouldn't hear him.
Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone.
At that time, Yan Yue ordered someone to throw that reckless madman out of the mansion.
Out of respect for Granny Zi, they did not kill her.
Clearly, the old lady hasn't given up on her unrealistic ideas yet; she's really naive.
How much they must despise her, a princess, to send a lowly servant's nephew to disgust her!
The old woman went back home and spent half the night feeling uneasy before finally falling into a deep sleep.
He woke up on the morning of the second day and was told by the steward to leave the mansion immediately.
She was allowed to bring her monthly savings and clothes and shoes she had bought over the years.
As for the rest, such as the jewelry that the princess had bestowed upon her, and the jewelry that she had secretly hidden, they were all confiscated.
Princess Yan Yue was already considered kind by not sending the nanny to the authorities for investigation.
For a woman in her fifties to be released from the mansion...
Aside from being able to serve others, she has no other skills.
He was all alone again, without any children, only his nephew who had ambitions that were higher than the sky.
If the nanny is wise, she shouldn't go looking for her nephew after leaving the princess's residence.
With the money I've saved over the years, I can buy a small village house and a young maid to serve me and do some needlework. That would be enough to live a comfortable life in my old age.
If someone is foolish and only thinks about relying on their nephew to support them in their old age, then they will be trapped in a painful abyss.
You have to walk your own path.
The reason why the nanny spoke rashly, saying to find someone younger, was just to disgust the princess.
If the princess could find a young man to work as a noodle maker, then the nanny's nephew would have a chance.
In the future, the princess's pure and innocent image over the years will be ruined, and she will be transformed into a harlot and a whore.
Having been so humiliated, Yan Yue simply sent the person away.
They even allowed her to take away her monthly allowance from all these years, and only confiscated the things that shouldn't belong to the old woman, which was already considered kind.
The old woman carried the bundle out of the princess's residence. She was really incredibly stupid; without making any preparations, she went straight to her brother's house.
Upon learning that she had been kicked out of the princess's residence, Liu Li, the nanny's sister-in-law, was furious.
"Little sister-in-law, all those years you've served the princess have been for nothing, and you have no shame at all."
Last time, if it weren't for your terrible idea,
If Guan'er were sent to the backyard of the princess's residence to compose poetry, she wouldn't have been thrown out by the princess's guards.
Guan'er is a scholar; he values appearances, do you know that?
After Guan'er was thrown out that day, she fell seriously ill.
He was so feverish he was almost delirious.
If it weren't for that century-old ginseng that kept you alive, you'd be reduced to offering incense to your nephew now.
Your nephew is the only remaining heir in our Liu family.
Because of your terrible idea, your nephew suffered so much.
Do you think you've done right by the glorious ancestors of the Liu family?
Your nephew still has lingering health problems.
She doesn't want to go out and see people, and her health is still weak.
I used to be able to eat two bowls of rice in one meal, but now I can only eat one bowl.
Guan'er is so thin she's practically skin and bones.
As his aunt, you should at least spend some money to buy your nephew some good food to help him recover, right?
When Granny Liu heard that her nephew was sick and had been ill for several months,
He thought his nephew was about to die, which wouldn't do.
She was still hoping her nephew would take care of her in her old age and break pots for her.
"Sister-in-law, you're being foolish. If Guan'er was so seriously ill when she came back last time, why didn't she come to the Princess's residence to find me?"
She may lack other skills, but she certainly has the connections to hire a royal physician.
If Guan'er got into trouble because of his sister-in-law's carelessness,
Then my sister-in-law would become a sinner in our Liu family.
Ever since my sister-in-law married into our Liu family, her womb hasn't been very productive; she's only given birth to one son, Guan'er.
When Guan'er fell ill, his sister-in-law didn't even try to find a doctor or medicine.
It was only half a year later that she mentioned this matter to my sister-in-law, who had just been released from the mansion. This shows that my sister-in-law does not really care about Guan'er.
This is to leave Guan'er with a chronic illness.
Alas, if the Liu family line were to end, what good would it do for my sister-in-law?
My sister-in-law has such a vicious mind.
Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no offspring.
Although my eldest brother is in his fifties this year, he is still in good health.
If he could take two more concubines, he would probably still be able to have a few more illegitimate sons.
Sigh, I, as the younger sister, don't have any other skills, but I do have enough money to buy my older brother two concubines.
Don't worry about this, sister-in-law. I'll go out and take care of it right away.
Sister-in-law, there's no need to thank me. Just prepare a room for me.
The younger sister went out to find a concubine for her brother.
Liu Li was so angry with the nanny that she almost fell backward.
"Well, Liu Xiaoya, you're a jinx!"
You've only just returned home, and you're already trying to get your brother to take a concubine? You're deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, your sister-in-law.
They say an elder sister-in-law is like a mother, so today I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of our deceased mother…
As she spoke, Liu Lishi lunged at Liu Mama.
A furious shout rang out behind Liu Li Shi.
"Stop it, you shrew."
It's all your fault. If it weren't for your belly being so uncooperative...
As for our Liu family, has Guan'er been our only son all these years?
