After Qingyou received the original owner's memories.

Ask the system: "What is her wish?"

The system replied, "She has three wishes."

"My first wish is to have Shi Lingqiao marry into the Duke's mansion, and then deal with her in the same way she treated me, and ruin her reputation in the capital."

"My second wish is to keep an eye on the Fourth Prince and his ilk. If they intend to harm the Emperor, I want you to sabotage their plans and prevent the Fourth Prince from ascending the throne, so that the Qiao family will not be exiled again."

"My third wish is that Qiao Xinyue and Huo Xi will both have a good outcome. I hope that Huo Xi can inherit the Duke's mansion and change the fate of the people around him."

Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief at the original owner's wish.

Fortunately, the original owner did not make any demands, such as preventing the son of the barbecued pork bun from marrying Shi Lingqiao and reforming that ungrateful wretch.

Otherwise, she might refuse to carry out the mission and abandon this world.

She was disgusted by his ungrateful behavior. The reason he acted that way was simply because he relied on the original owner's maternal love.

He was led by the nose by a woman, and for her sake, he completely disregarded the bond between mother and child; he was completely love-struck.

They didn't deserve to be reformed or to die a peaceful death.

Qingyou checked the timeline in her memory.

With only six months left until the wedding, Shi Lingqiao couldn't sit still any longer, so she hinted to Huo Jiwen to call off the engagement.

Huo Jiwen came to the original owner's place every day, making a scene about wanting to break off the engagement, but the original owner refused to agree.

Two weeks later, Qiao Xinyue had an accident while traveling.

Qingyou said to Granny Qi, who was serving her, "Have someone send a letter to the Qiao family. I want to pay them a visit tomorrow."

The marriage must be called off, but it can't be done as Huo Jiwen and Shi Ling cleverly planned.

Granny Qi was first surprised, "Madam, do you really want to annul the engagement?"

Qingyou sighed, "Judging from Ji Wen's attitude, he probably won't let this go until the engagement is called off, so I'll go to the Qiao family to sound them out first."

Granny Qi was brought from the palace by the original owner of this body. She was very loyal, but she didn't have a good ending.

When the original owner of this body was bedridden, Qi Mama was persuaded by Shi Lingqiao to be forcibly sent to the home of her distant relative by Huo Jiwen.

That family were all bloodsuckers. After Shi Lingqiao sent someone to give them a hint, they not only robbed Granny Qi of the money she had taken out, but also locked her in the woodshed and starved her to death.

Granny Qi naturally belonged to the category of people who needed to change their fate according to the original owner's wishes.

The other party had been serving by the original owner's side all along, so Qingyou couldn't change too much all at once.

The original owner of this body doted on and valued her son Huo Jiwen, so it's impossible for her to suddenly become cold and indifferent.

Therefore, we need to lay the groundwork step by step.

Granny Qi also felt that the young master had gone too far, actually wanting to do something as unfaithful as breaking off the engagement for the sake of a merchant's daughter.

She thought for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Madam, the young master hasn't even married that merchant's daughter yet, and this is already happening. If she does marry into the family in the future, who knows what kind of trouble she will cause in the Duke's mansion."

Qingyou looked helpless. "But if I don't let her in, Jiwen will become estranged from me."

When Granny Qi heard this, she didn't know what to say. Looking at the young master's expression, it really seemed likely.

Huo Jiwen came again at dinner that evening.

He smiled and said, feigning reluctance, "Mother, I've come to have my meal with you."

Qingyou pretended to be happy and said, "You're so thoughtful."

The two had dinner together.

Huo Jiwen then looked at Qingyou and spoke again: "Mother, what have you thought about what I mentioned during the day?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyou's face immediately darkened. "This was an engagement arranged for you when your grandmother was still alive. How can it be canceled? I don't agree."

Huo Jiwen's smile vanished. "So you're willing to watch me marry a woman I don't like and suffer for the rest of my life?"

Qingyou also used a strategy of retreat to advance, saying, "If you really like that merchant's daughter, you can bring her into the household as a concubine in the future. This is my biggest concession."

This love-struck bacon would definitely disagree, feeling it would be unfair to his precious darling.

As expected, Huo Jiwen said unhappily, "I like Lingqiao, so I only want to give her the position of my principal wife. To make her a concubine would be an insult to her."

Qingyou raised an eyebrow. "Given her status, even being a concubine would be an honor for her."

"Ji Wen, you are the heir of the Duke's mansion, how can you marry a merchant's daughter?"

Huo Jiwen frowned. "Who says the heir of a Duke's mansion can't marry a merchant's daughter? Your concept of social class is too deep-rooted."

Qingyou continued to object, "You are the future Duke of Zhenguo, and you bear the heavy responsibility of the entire Duke's Mansion. Your wife absolutely cannot be the daughter of a merchant."

Huo Jiwen said defiantly, "Mother, I only want Lingqiao, otherwise I would rather not marry."

Qingyou sneered, "Fine, if you insist on marrying a merchant's daughter, then you can forget about the title of Duke in the future."

She deliberately set a trap for Huo Jiwen.

This char siu bao must think he's just trying to scare him; he'll definitely fall for the trick.

Sure enough, Huo Jiwen snorted and said, "Fine, I don't want it. I only want Lingqiao anyway."

He was the only child of the eldest son's family. He was already the heir of the Duke's mansion, and in his heart, the Duke's mansion belonged to him. His mother was really naive, thinking that she could threaten him with this.

Qingyou pretended to be angry, clutching her chest and pointing to the door with a grim expression, "You, you actually gave up the title of Duke for a woman, you have disappointed me too much, get out!"

Huo Jiwen said uncompromisingly, "Fine, I'll get out then. Anyway, I'm determined to break off the engagement and marry Lingqiao."

After saying that, he turned around and stormed off.

He believed that as long as he remained steadfast, his mother, who doted on him, would surely give in.

Seeing Char Siu Bao rush out, Qingyou's face turned ashen with anger. In front of Granny Qi and several maids, she said, "You unfilial son, this unfilial son!"

Granny Qi hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Madam, please don't upset yourself. The young master is also bewitched by that woman."

Qingyou said disappointedly, "He's already so infatuated with a woman before even becoming a duke. How can he be of any use on the battlefield?"

"Help me to the inner room to rest."

She wanted everyone in the Duke's mansion to know and spread rumors that Huo Jiwen had defied his own mother for a woman and even gave up his Duke's position, proving he was utterly useless.

Granny Qi helped Qingyou to the inner room, saying words of concern and comfort along the way.

Back in her room, Qingyou dismissed Granny Qi and the others.

She opened the bedroom window facing the garden outside, took a whistle from around her neck, and blew it twice.

Soon a man in black appeared under the window.

He knelt on one knee outside and respectfully said, "Greetings, Madam!"

Qingyou instructed, "Send someone to keep an eye on the Crown Prince."

"Send two more people to keep an eye on Shi Lingqiao. Report to her immediately if there is anything suspicious about her or if she has instructed anyone to do anything."

This was a secret guard trained by the Duke's mansion, temporarily entrusted to her by her husband before he went to the frontier.

After Huo Jiwen got married, the original owner was coaxed by him for a while before handing over this secret guard to him.

This time, the green pomelo won't be given to that char siu bao (barbecued pork bun) for free; it will naturally be passed on to whoever inherits the Duke's mansion in the future.
