Chapter 226 Chen Pingting's Plan
Chunhua Garden
Early in the morning, Chen Pingting looked at the landscaping and flowers in the yard with disdain, and missed her yard in Beijing very much.
The maid Lan Zhu observed her mistress's expression and said cautiously, "Don't worry, young lady. Didn't Madam tell you to return to your hometown to avoid the limelight? She will find a way to bring you back in a few months or half a year."
Chen Pingting reached out and grabbed a blooming orchid, then threw the petals one by one onto the ground.
"Of course Mother will find a way to take me back, but what's the point of going back? I will never be able to become the Crown Prince's Consort again."
Lan Zhu moved her lips in embarrassment and continued to comfort her, "Even if you can't become the Crown Prince's Consort, the old lady and the Madam both love you. Once the trouble caused by that woman has subsided, the Madam will naturally find a better husband for you."
The old lady Lan Zhu mentioned here is naturally Chen Pingting's grandmother. As for the old lady of the Chen family, Chen Pingting didn't like her very much. The old lady looked mercenary and always wanted to steal things from her mother.
Her grandmother had treated her better than her own grandson since she was a child. This time when she was sent back to her hometown, her grandmother was sad for a long time.
After Chen Pingting had finished destroying a single flower, she angrily said, "How dare a divorced woman harm me like this? This time, I will make her pay."
At this moment, Cui Qingyi didn't know that while she was busy in the fields taking care of the people's livelihood in Dajin, someone had already set his eyes on her and wanted to teach her a lesson.
Mrs. Chen, the head of the Chen family's old house, went to visit Chen Pingting at Chunhua Garden after breakfast in the morning. She didn't want to curry favor with a junior, but this incident was caused by their second branch. The eldest uncle's family in Beijing was reprimanded because of their involvement. The Chen family can have its current situation thanks to the care of the eldest branch in Beijing. Now that this has happened, Mrs. Chen must feel guilty.
Therefore, the eldest wife sent Chen Pingting back this time, and Mrs. Chen Er was trying her best to serve this little ancestor well, and also let the eldest sister-in-law in Beijing see their sincerity so that she could continue to take care of the people in her hometown in the future.
As soon as she turned around the screen wall, she saw that the prodigal son Chen Pingting had torn an orchid that she had spent a lot of money to buy into pieces. Mrs. Chen's head immediately buzzed.
Fortunately, before she left, she had instructed the nanny beside her that if she saw Chen Pingting doing anything extreme, she must stop her from getting angry.
At this moment, the nanny saw the broken orchid branch in Chen Pingting's hand and grabbed her wife's arm.
Chen Pingting naturally saw the second wife, but she was in no mood to pay attention to her. In her heart, her second aunt was also useless. No, it should be said that the whole family of the second wife was useless.
Mrs. Chen paused before stepping forward. "Pingting just returned. She got used to your stay last night. If there's anything you're not used to or you're missing, please tell your second aunt. I promise to make sure you're comfortable."
Chen Pingting: "Second Aunt and Lin Ying are indeed aunt and niece. They say exactly the same thing. They are shameless and have caused trouble for me and my parents. Now they act like nothing happened and act arrogantly in the mansion. But everyone knows that if it weren't for my parents, the people in your old house would have lived so comfortably."
That was what she said, but it sounded particularly harsh when it came out of Chen Pingting's little mouth, causing the Second Madam to want to go up and tear the dead girl's mouth apart regardless of her status.
However, that was absolutely impossible. Not to mention the maids and servants that Yang brought with her when Chen Pingting came back this time, even if she didn't bring anyone with her, the Second Lady would not dare to attack Chen Pingting.
As soon as the two groups met, the nanny went from lightly dragging the second lady's arm to pinching her own lady's arm with a little force, fearing that the lady would lose control and start fighting with Chen Pingting.
"Pingting, what are you talking about? We are in this situation now because of that bitch Cui. You also know that she was a person who never gave up when she was in the mansion. I didn't expect that after committing the seven grounds for divorce and being kicked out, she would still cause such a big mess. If I had known earlier..."
Chen Pingting...what would have happened if I had known this earlier?
But what the Second Madam said really struck a chord with Chen Pingting: all of this was not caused by the culprit, Cui.
"I heard that my second aunt's brother from her mother's side has some connections with people in the county magistrate's mansion?" Chen Pingting suddenly asked.
Although she didn't know why Chen Pingting asked this, Mrs. Chen was eager to repair her relationship with the eldest wife of the Chen family, so she naturally told her everything she knew.
"Yes, your uncle Lin has a very good relationship with several of the county magistrate's subordinates. Your sister-in-law is also a close friend of the county magistrate's daughter. There's a banquet coming up in a few days, so Pingting will go with your sister-in-law and ask her to introduce you to the county magistrate's daughter."
This sister-in-law is Lin Ying.
Having said that, Chen Pingting finally gave the Second Madam a smile. If she wanted to get to know the girl from the County Magistrate's family, she didn't need an introduction from someone as inferior as the Lin family. But what she wanted to do could not be related to the Chen family, or at least not to her. It was not bad to let the Lin family be the scapegoat.
Lin Ying entered Chunhua Garden after the second lady left.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chen Pingting leaning comfortably on the stone table and scattering fish food. She scattered the fish food, causing the precious fish species in the lake to wag their tails and rush up.
The beautiful color makes people happy.
But at this moment, Lin Ying couldn't feel envious at all. She was almost unable to keep the title of the Chen family's young lady, so what was the point of still thinking about the courtyard?
Knowing that Chen Pingting was waiting for her, Lin Ying didn't hide anything and said directly, "Is that secret medicine you mentioned that can make people fertile real? Are you lying to me again? I have lived for so many years and have never heard of such a thing."
Chen Pingting sprinkled another handful of fish food into the lake, and looked at those brainless fish that were almost eating until their stomachs turned upside down with a sneer on her face.
"Is your Lin family some extraordinary person? If it weren't for your good fortune to marry my second uncle, the Lin family would now be nothing more than a peasant in Linshui County. Where else would you hear about such a good thing?
What is the capital city? It is a gathering place for the royal family and nobles under the feet of the emperor. It has everything."
Lin Ying didn't care about Chen Pingting's sarcasm at all. Besides, no matter how much she refuted the facts, she couldn't change the past. What she cared about most at the moment was how to get the secret medicine for conceiving a child that Chen Pingting mentioned.
"What do you want in exchange for helping me get that secret medicine?"
Chen Pingting finally showed her first sincere smile today. Her mother was right. No matter whether it is a man or a woman, as long as you find her weakness, you can control her at will.
"It's simple. I need you to do something."
