The Found Stepmother, Your Dowry Is a Bit Too Much

On Vermilion Bird Avenue, a wedding procession stretching for miles advanced in grand splendor.

The gilded bridal sedan, carried by sixteen bearers, shimmered under the sunlight. The embroide...

Chapter 257 Doing the Deed (2/2)

That damned Xu Heming, he always ruins his plans.

However, King Lan Huai also knew that no matter how angry he was, he couldn't change the fact that his plan had failed.

"Your Highness, Consort Yun and the Princess are fighting again," a servant boy ran up and said tremblingly.

Upon hearing this, Prince Lan Huai was extremely troubled. Ever since Huo Yunzhi entered the manor, she and Princess Fu'an had been at odds, arguing or even fighting every few days.

If the Huo family weren't still useful to him, he would have kicked this ungrateful woman out of his Lanhuai Prince's Mansion long ago.

Thinking of this, King Lan Huai could only walk reluctantly toward the backyard.

Li family

"Miss, this is an invitation from the Grand Princess's residence." Qinghua handed an invitation to Li Zhiwei, who was looking at the account books.

"The Grand Princess's residence?" Li Zhiwei frowned as she looked at the gold-embossed invitation. She had no connection with the Grand Princess's residence.

Moreover, this Grand Princess is the Emperor's own elder sister.

In the capital, she was a powerful figure who could walk sideways. Most people wouldn't dare to mess with her, and they would be too busy trying to curry favor with her. Yet, she was never seen taking the initiative to befriend anyone.

"Miss, why don't you take a look at the post first?" Qingyue said after looking at the post and thinking for a moment.

After all, the Grand Princess is an extremely reasonable person and would not criticize others for such a trivial matter.

Li Zhiwei curiously opened the invitation, only to find that it simply invited her to attend the full moon banquet of the eldest granddaughter of the Princess's household in three days.

"It's because the Princess's residence has welcomed a new young lady. The Princess is delighted and invited me over." Li Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief. The addition of a new member to the household was a joyous occasion, and she was actually quite willing to go.

Moreover, in her previous life, she was trapped in the backyard of the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion for her entire life. Lin Jitong and she never even consummated their marriage. Not to mention, the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion also gave her a drug that would prevent her from having children. In her previous life, she had no children, and Zhou Yutang would not let her see her children.

Since her rebirth, the children she has seen most often are children around the age of Xu Qingshi.

She was quite curious about the newborn baby.

Now that the Grand Princess has extended such a warm invitation, she certainly cannot refuse.

"Then go and tell the people at the Grand Princess's residence that I will definitely attend the young lady's full moon banquet on time," Li Zhi said with a smile.

The Prince of An's residence, the Marquis of Yongding's residence, and the Xie family also received invitations from the Grand Princess's residence.

Yongning Marquis's Mansion

Looking weakly at the invitation in her hand, Jin smiled and said, "Congratulations to the Grand Duke on the birth of your granddaughter. I will definitely come to ask for a cup of celebratory wine and share in the joy of your new granddaughter's arrival."

After the servant left, Granny Hua looked at the much thinner Madam Jin with a pained expression and said, "Madam, you are suffering from severe morning sickness. Why don't you cancel the banquet?"

"The Grand Princess has always been low-key, and sending out invitations so widely today shows that she thinks highly of our Yongding Marquis's Mansion. Besides, this is a good thing, and we can't refuse." Jin looked at the invitation in her hand, and she didn't intend to refuse.

“But, Madam, you are suffering from severe morning sickness. Let alone attending the full moon celebration, you even have difficulty going out,” said Granny Hua, looking at Madam Jin.

Ms. Jin touched her still-flat belly and sighed. This baby is going to be a handful.

When she was pregnant with Jiang Yu, she had very mild morning sickness, almost none at all.

But now, she vomits everything she eats.

"We'll see how things go then. If it doesn't work out, I'll have Yu'er go and give me a gift instead." Madam Jin thought that if she really couldn't go out, she would have her son do it for her.
