47 Chapter 47
◎Two and a half chapters◎
"My uncle is from the eldest branch of the Qinghe Cui family. After his parents passed away, their branch fell into decline. Therefore, my uncle had the ambition to carry on his ancestors' legacy since he was a child. After finishing his studies, he followed the former Grand Marshal Hengshuo as an aide. My mother was too young at that time to be brought along by his side. So he took a concubine named Du, who helped with the household chores and almost single-handedly raised my mother. My uncle also liked her very much." Li Cheng paused here.
Huiyin waited for him to continue, but saw him drinking tea, and hurriedly urged him: "You just said a few words, and you're drinking water. I have a stuffy nose and sore throat, and I didn't keep drinking water."
Li Cheng rubbed his palms: "She married for ten years and gave birth to a boy and a girl. During this period, my uncle never married. It's not that he couldn't marry, but it was difficult to marry the daughter of a top family. At this time, Du gave birth to a son. My mother was very happy for her. No matter if there was someone else marrying in the future, she had this child, which was a kind of support. At that time, my mother had already been engaged and was about to get married, but my uncle told my mother that he was going to marry the daughter of Li of Longxi, so that he could have a sister-in-law from a famous family to marry."
"What about Mrs. Du?" If we put ourselves in her shoes, Mrs. Du's situation must have been very bad. She had a son and a daughter, and her status was just a concubine. If she had met a virtuous woman who was not her concern at all or whose status was lower than that of the Cui family, it would have been fine. But she chose to marry the daughter of Mrs. Li of Linxi.
Li Cheng took a deep breath and said, "The Li family agreed to marry their daughter on the condition that my father would take care of all the people and things before the marriage. Otherwise, their daughter would have better choices. I even heard that a man from Hongnong Yang family also went to ask for marriage. My uncle was afraid that his past would be dug up, so he sent the pregnant Du family and her children to the farm."
"But the conditions on the farm were not good at that time. I heard that it was winter, and Du's two spoiled children were not going to get used to life on the farm. But the Cui family wanted to marry the mistress, so who would care about her desire to come back. Even my uncle was afraid that Du's affairs would be known, so he asked the manager of the farm to keep a close eye on Du. Du's children had a high fever, and they wanted to ask a doctor to treat them. The manager was afraid that Du was playing tricks and deliberately wanted to cause trouble, so he only agreed to ask a doctor to come. However, as you know, there are no good doctors on the farm in the mountains, and my cousin and cousin both died of illness." Speaking of this, Li Cheng felt that things in the world are impermanent.
Huiyin's eyes widened: "Dead?"
Li Cheng looked at Jing'er with gentle eyes: "My husband and I brought several doctors with us, and all kinds of precious and rare textbooks. We were heartbroken when our son had a slight headache or fever. But the conditions on the farm were simple, there were no medicinal materials, and the doctor we hired was a country doctor, a quack who misled people, and my uncle didn't care, so Mrs. Du--"
At the end, Li Cheng sat down and said, "At this time, my mother received a letter from Mrs. Du. She said in the letter that her uncle wanted to put her to death and that her child was about to be born, so she asked my mother to send a madam over. This was probably the most difficult thing for my mother. She was a concubine who had not yet left the palace, and the palace sent a nanny. How could she send a madam over? Mrs. Du had no choice but to think of a solution because she had not seen my mother send anyone over for a long time."
"Later, my current aunt Li came into the family. She was pregnant three months after she got married. Seeing that the matter was settled, the stewards inevitably relaxed their previous strict defense against Mrs. Du. It was at this time that Mrs. Du met the Yin family, who were also expecting a child. The Yin family came from a poor family and lived a very ordinary life. Mrs. Du gave Mrs. Yin a fur coat, and the relationship between the two became closer. Mrs. Du saw that although the Yin family was not a well-known family, Mrs. Yin and Mr. Yin were both from simple families and seemed to be very eager to have children. She was afraid that her child would become a thorn in her side after it was born, and unfortunately, the two gave birth at the same time, so Mrs. Du swapped the children herself." Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief after he finished speaking.
Huiyin understood what he said next, "So Madam Zhang is the original Yin Lifang, and she is Yin Liyi's sister. No wonder I was dazed when I saw her, as if I saw Yin Liyi."
"Yes, Du was taken home by my uncle and aunt when her daughter was eight years old. Du never thought that she would be able to return to the Cui family one day, and Li was not the kind of person who could not tolerate others. On the contrary, she was very kind to her and her daughter. She even felt guilty when the daughter of the Yin family became the eldest daughter of a general, while her daughter was just the daughter of a minor official. But if this matter were to be made public, my uncle would definitely be furious. Besides, as you know, such a scandal in a wealthy family would probably lead to criticism. What's more, my aunt has already given birth to two sons and a daughter, and my father loves them like treasures. He has no feelings for Du anymore. Du had no choice but to write a letter to my mother, asking her to take care of the Yin family." Li Cheng restored everything.
Huiyin didn't expect the truth to be like this: "So Yin Cifei is your cousin?"
"Yes, that's right. My mother was taken care of by Madam Du since she was young. One year, she got smallpox, and it was thanks to Madam Du's care day and night. So, my mother first introduced the eldest uncle of the Yin family to the Wu Wang Mansion as a companion, and later said that in order to recruit companions, she invited all the sisters of the Yin family. My mother always felt sorry for the second concubine Yin, so she wanted Yin Lifang to marry me, and deliberately created many opportunities for us, but she was concerned about my father and never told me. Later, when my father passed away, my mother told me the truth, saying that Yin Lifang was actually my cousin. Madam Du asked her for help several times, but she couldn't lend a hand. She felt guilty, so she asked me to marry her before she died."
This is the whole truth. Mrs. Du raised Princess Wu and even saved her life, but she can never be recognized as her only daughter. Princess Wu can only repay her kindness by arranging a marriage for her son.
So Li Cheng risked his life to save Yin Lifang's son, which was also another way of repaying his gratitude.
As for whether he had ever been moved, Huiyin didn't care, because the truth behind this story was too horrifying.
"Why does your uncle insist on marrying a woman from a noble family? Or he could just not take a concubine first..." Huiyin felt that all of this was caused by her uncle from the Cui family.
Li Cheng said: "So I said these are all elders' affairs. From the perspective of the Du family, it is of course a tragedy, but from the perspective of my uncle, he and the Longxi Li family have joined forces to bring honor to the family. It is also because of my uncle's official position that my mother was able to marry my father. Even after giving birth to me, she was not afraid of my mother-in-law and was able to raise me under her knees."
This is also the reason why Li Cheng finds it difficult to comment.
But Huiyin looked at Li Cheng and said, "If you want to blame someone for this, you can only blame your uncle. It has nothing to do with you. I don't think you need to blame yourself. And Mrs. Du, although she is a victim, she is also a perpetrator. She changed someone else's woman and thought it was for the good of her daughter. She didn't take someone else's daughter seriously. Who would have thought that the daughter would become the eldest daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe and marry the Zhang family of Qinghe, who is a good match for her. Life is unpredictable, and we can only look forward."
Even Huiyin herself could only look forward. Immediately, she responded, "You deliberately waited so long to tell me, because you were afraid that I would be unhappy after hearing it and break up your cousin's marriage?"
Li Cheng just chuckled twice.
Perhaps it was because she learned this secret that Huiyin felt that the hurdle in her heart had finally been overcome.
But fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. She relaxed, but she caught a fever and a cold. She asked the doctor to make bitter soup every day, and her face turned yellow after eating it. Fortunately, Jing'er was already one year old when she returned, and his body was better than Huiyin's.
"I'd better send you to Jianye. You and your son should have a good rest. I will go to Xuzhou for training as soon as possible." Li Cheng said.
Huiyin nodded: "Okay, I understand. By the way, last time my sister invited me to the East Palace, I guess the prince wanted to win you over, but I remind you that the prince is a master at getting something for nothing. You must not trust him easily, and don't think you can gain any advantage by cooperating with him."
Li Cheng was surprised: "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
Huiyin smiled embarrassedly. If she wasn't sure whether her husband was really good to her, she wouldn't be so stupid as to say everything.
Li Cheng pinched her face and said, "You are so good, you are still hiding it from me."
Huiyin wrinkled her nose and made a face, which made Li Cheng couldn't help laughing.
When the couple came back, they could directly reveal their identities. They arrived in Jianye exhausted. Huiyin and Jing'er went back to the palace first, while Li Cheng went to the Prince of Wei's palace to report to the Prince of Wei.
It had been several months since they left in the spring and came back in the autumn. Huiyin first asked someone to move Jing'er's room from the left ear room to the right side room. She herself was very tired but still had to hold on.
Nan's mother was old, so Huiyin asked her to go down and rest first. As for Fugui and the others, who were younger, they were all busy. Fugui suddenly saw Wang's wife coming to pay her respects, so she invited her over.
No one went into the second room. Fugui only heard Wang's wife talk for a long time. She shrank her head. It seemed that the princess was really vigilant. Even though most of the people in the palace were her employees, she still didn't trust them and had to call her spies over for interrogation.
On the other hand, the same was true for King Wei. Although he allowed Li Cheng to go to the capital, he was afraid that he would change his mind.
"Please get up. You have been gone for a long time. Xuzhou needs you right now." The King of Wei said with a smile.
李澄抱拳：“叔父謬贊了，侄兒也就這點出息了，朝中大事侄兒不敢作主。這是何國舅托我帶一封信給您，東宮的意思希望我能說服我岳父斬殺呂威，只是我岳父也不能做無本的買賣，因此像太子索要青州之地。”
魏王皺眉：“怎麽東宮想讓你去說服？”
軍國大事，即便李澄是女婿，那也是外人，怎麽東宮找上他了？李澄則笑道：“岳父此人極其疼愛小女兒，也就是我的王妃，他年紀大了，兒子又太小，倒是頗為依賴侄兒。”
這事兒李澄并非自擡身價，但他不可能為他人作嫁衣裳，辛辛苦苦他勸岳父殺了呂威，将來太子不認賬，魏王又怪她把青州讓出去，這般兩面不是人了。
魏王見李澄這樣說，眉心一條：“哦，那這件事情你是怎麽想的呢？”
“侄兒不敢做主，一切但憑王叔吩咐便是。”李澄并不表現自己的意圖。
魏王當然也不會現在立馬就決定，他還得和幕僚探讨，李澄又把皇上的賞賜送過來，叔侄二人把酒言歡一番，李澄才從魏王這裏出去。
走到魏王府的甬道上時，秋風襲來，李澄只覺得自己的酒醒了不少，今日魏王叔看起來很信任他，這也是他決定投靠魏王叔的原因，實在是有謀略，也有容人之雅量，但此時，他求賢若渴，将來，将來就不好說了。
如果他能勸勸做主，今日他肯定能拿出一個好對策出來，甚至還不吃虧。
但是他無法作主……
正想着，被人撞了一下，他定睛一看，竟然是魏王長子李敬。
“敬哥兒，你在這裏做什麽？如今天色不早了，你要早些回去才是。”李澄覺得奇怪。
李敬生的微微有些胖，比起武藝他更愛讀書，但無論讀書的好與壞，魏王并不關心他，更喜歡的是許次妃的兒子李執。這些李澄當然清楚，偏偏李敬又是長子，表現的太出色也不好，不表現更不好，但總歸都不能讓魏王滿意的。
但這些就不關李澄什麽事情了，以前李澄還是很關心的，畢竟誰是下一任世子，就關系到他們這些屬臣，但他已經決定自立之後，他又有自己的兒子了，別人的事情，他犯不着多管。
所以，見李敬期期艾艾的，李澄只道：“快回去吧，我也有事要走了。”
說完，李澄就離開了，跟在李敬身邊的仆從趕緊帶着李敬回去，正好殷麗芳已經讓人出來找兒子了。自從上次李敬掉進井裏之後，殷次妃對兒子就看護的很嚴，見他回來，也松了一口氣。
“快過來，今兒我讓廚下做了你最愛吃的香菇丸子，還有炸雞件。”
李敬坐下來，他還只是個小孩子，很多情緒無法排解，只是悶悶的道：“母妃，兒子想讓父王看我寫的字，父王一直沒有出來。”
殷次妃還能說什麽呢，只得安慰兒子：“你父王很忙，他怎麽有空看這些呢？不過，你放心，等有機會我拿着你的字給你父王看，上次你的那方硯臺不就是你父王賞賜的麽？”
她現在不受寵，兒子也跟着不受寵了。
許次妃其實什麽都比不得她，甚至還嫁過人，但她就是能夠抓緊魏王的心，這是魏王妃和她都沒轍的事情。
小孩子以前這樣說會信，可現在……
李敬搖頭：“可是二弟的功課明明還沒兒子好，父王卻誇他天資聰穎，就連先生也對二弟更好，常常誇二弟。”
殷次妃想她甚至不敢說魏王的不是，若是兒子仇恨自己的父親，那這麽小的孩子不會掩飾，到時候矛盾只會越來越深，所以她揉着兒子的腦袋：“母妃和你說過，人呢，做好自己的事情就成了，日後你父王總會看到你的。”
就像每次她和妹妹在一起的時候，大家一開始都會和殷麗儀關系更好，因為她赤誠的讓人能夠卸下防備，可時間長了，大家就會知道她的好。就像吳王妃看起來對麗儀很好，她都沒想到後來竟然選擇了自己嫁給李澄。
那可是吳王世子啊，其實以她的身份做次妃都難于上青天的，更何況她貌不出衆，如此淮陰王都對她情根深種。
到現在她都覺得難以置信。
不，她現在還不能表現出來，否則害人害己。等到恰當的時候，一定要讓他們推舉自己的兒子做世子。
夜裏，淮陰王府
鍋子裏的各種肉丸魚丸粉條蛋餃煮的咕嚕咕嚕，徽音和李澄對坐吃着飯，她想自己恐怕以後會很難瘦下來了，因為總貪嘴。
“明日我就要去徐州，你和璟兒在建業，可得好好保重。”李澄也舍不得離開妻子，但沒辦法，這也不是矯情的來的。
徽音夾了一顆魚丸：“唉，我們倆這好幾個月日夜都在一起，乍然要分開，我還有點舍不得呢。”
李澄似乎不太擅長說這些話，他夾了一大塊薰雞給徽音，“舍不得也不成，我得快些去徐州。”
見他這樣一本正經，顯然是心急如焚了，徽音也沒了調笑的心思，不免道：“等會兒我給你收拾行裝。”
“好，吃着吃着，我就感覺要犯困了。”李澄也會累的，他這麽多天舟車勞頓，徽音還能和兒子在馬車裏休息，他卻得護着她們安全不敢眨眼。
徽音很是心疼：“等會兒還有參湯要喝，先別睡了。”
她說着，讓下人端了一盅參湯過來，李澄不願意擡手，徽音只好親自喂給他喝。興許是累極了，他喝完就真的在床上睡着了。
徽音也不嫌棄他沒有沐浴，只讓下人先下去，準備好熱水：“等明日小王爺醒來後沐浴，你們也下去歇息吧，我也準備歇下。”
這一晚上，她們夫妻都睡的很沉，甚至次日早上起來的時候，發現李澄都已經離開了。
“他都走了嗎？”徽音按了按太陽穴。
南媽媽笑道：“我們早上過來的時候，小王爺還說千萬別吵醒您。您怎麽樣了？我看您還有黑眼圈。”
徽音打了個哈欠：“一直舟車勞頓，雖然回到家裏很高興，但是也真的累。我在想小王爺他們行軍打仗的日子也真的不容易，有些路程若非自己走一趟，真的很難體會。”
但她也不能歇着，先送了不少冀州和京中的土産過去魏王府，自己又親自去請了一回安。
本來以為只是簡單的請安，沒想到短短數月，魏王妃竟然感覺滄桑了許多，徽音還不明就裏：“嬸娘可是遇到什麽事情了？若有，可是一定要告訴我啊。”
魏王妃扶額，竟不知從何說起。
還是魏王妃身邊的嬷嬷道：“小王妃，我們大王想把蒹葭郡主嫁給衛铎的次子。”
衛铎的次子，衛霄？
徽音道：“我聽說衛霄才高八鬥，是有名的才子，如此也不算辱沒啊。”
她只知道衛铎此人是個愛人妻的，但是他的幾個兒子中，也不乏有才名的，這衛霄其實聽起來不錯啊。
本來像她們這種一地諸侯之女，多半都是聯姻，就像徽音前世都知道李澄要死，這輩子嫁過來還不是毫無選擇？因為興許下一個聯姻的早就妻妾成群，條件更差。
魏王妃道：“衛霄之前早已有一房正妻，這次因為要娶蒹葭，原先的夫人聽聞都休了。這樣随便休棄夫人的人，焉知日後不會休了蒹葭……”
做母親的總是考慮的多，蒹葭現在年紀并不大，魏王之顧着和衛铎打好關系，甚至願意聯姻，也能看出男人們的無情。
徽音只能往更好的方面分析了：“嬸娘，既然婚事已經昭告天下，你們還能改嗎？若是不能，只能打起精神來。”
若你能頑強反抗倒好了，若是不能，得想法子讓自己過的更好才是，這樣天天怨天尤人，到時候苦的還是自己。
魏王妃在徽音說這話的時候，突然跟救命稻草似的抓住她：“其實也不是完全沒法子更改的，我們大王素來很聽你們王爺的話，若是他幫忙，那我們就……”
繞了這麽半天，原來是想李澄出頭啊，徽音倒也沒說不同意，只是笑道：“這倒是不巧了，他去徐州了，昨日他過來時，嬸娘怎麽不說？”
魏王妃道：“我們說的話他未必聽啊。”
這倒不是魏王妃謙虛，是李澄以前在魏王府曾經管過一段時間的事情，為人不是一般的難搞，偏偏和鄭氏倒是很合得來。
“那我也沒法子了，這些聯姻這樣的事情，我素來插不上嘴。”徽音當然沒那麽傻替人出頭。
她躲避過去了，殷麗儀卻一口氣應承下來。
殷次妃責備道：“這樣的事情是魏王發話了？我們怎麽能改變，你怎麽也不動腦子想想，就自己允諾王妃。”
"Hehe, sister, I have agreed to it. I also feel sorry for Jianjia. I have watched her grow up since she was a child, but she has to marry a man ten years older than her. I can't bear to hear that. It's other people's business if they stand by and watch, but I will definitely take care of it. If I can convince the King of Wei, it would be great." Yin Liyi smiled.
Yin Lifang saw her sister like this and couldn't do anything about it: "You have to figure it out on your own. I can't do anything about it."
Yin Liyi stood up: "Don't worry, I will find a way myself." She had just given birth to a boy and was in the confinement period. It was the time when maternal love was overflowing. She hated to see such things the most.
But Yin Lifang was very clear about the loud words her sister said. If you really want to ask her, what are you going to do? She is helpless again. She is just hot-headed. Yin Liyi has been used to it for so many years.
So, she simply kept silent and waited to see what Yin Liyi would do. If she made a lot of noise but did little, that was it.
After Huiyin went to pay her respects to the Princess of Wei, the next day both Grandmother Lu and Madam Gao came to visit. She said to them, "I was planning to give you the things I brought back from the capital, but I didn't expect you to come. This is good, so I don't have to send anyone to deliver them again."
Jianye was a wealthy city, not inferior to the capital, and Madam Lu and the others had seen good things before, but this was something the little princess had brought back specially for them, so it had a different meaning.
The three of them exchanged a few pleasantries, and Madam Lu said, "Now that you are back, I will hand over the account book to you. The tea house's business is going on steadily. Although it is not very good, the profit is considerable."
Huiyin said, "Thank you for your hard work in managing this tea house for me and helping me find a tea garden."
"What are you talking about? It's our honor to work for you." Madam Lu was not lying. After climbing up the big tree of Princess Huaiyin, her situation became more and more advanced.
Mrs. Gao also quickly expressed her opinion: "Yes, it doesn't take much effort."
Seeing that both of them had expressed their opinions, Huiyin was satisfied. She asked about what happened in Jianye. Madam Gao smiled and said, "The most popular news recently is that Madam Xie finally gave birth to a baby. Madam Xie was very happy and invited everyone in the city to a banquet for her third birthday."
"This is a good thing." Huiyin knew very well how much pressure she had to bear to have a baby as the wife of an only child.
Madam Lu interrupted, "Little Princess, we seem to have heard Madam Xie saying bad things about you at the banquet, but since you haven't come back, we can't say much."
As people who have already defected to Huiyin, they will both collect any news that is unfavorable to her.
Huiyin frowned: "She, what did she say about me? I remember that she and I had no interaction at all."
Madam Gao said, "I remember that it was a flower banquet at the Huo family. Madam Xie was still pregnant at the time and was also invited. I don't know who mentioned you during the banquet. They all said that the young prince had changed his character and was now so kind to you. They said that you were as beautiful as a fairy. Madam Xie said that you became the housekeeper after you came in and drove away many of the old servants. Concubine Wu is now forced to practice seclusion..."
"Then what?" Huiyin didn't understand why Yin Liyi said so much.
Madam Lu continued, "It is said that she wanted to go and pick up Governor Xie and you interfered. Fortunately, God bless you, the King of Wei and the King of Huaiyin both agreed."
Unexpectedly, Yin Liyi told everyone about this matter. Even if she was occasionally dissatisfied with Yin Liyi, at least she never talked about it outside.
After Lu and Gao left, Nan's mother and Fugui were all filled with righteous indignation. "I never thought that Mrs. Xie would gossip about you everywhere. If you don't stop her, I'm afraid others will look down on you."
Everyone admires the strong. Even if you are a bad person, but you have means, there will be people willing to follow you wholeheartedly. But if you don't have means, even if you are in a high position, there will be people who look down on you.
But now, Huiyin glanced at Nan's mother and said, "First of all, whether it is true that Yin Liyi gossiped about me behind my back or not, this needs to be verified. Secondly, I don't need to suppress her temper, and something bad will happen sooner or later."
She is just a clueless woman. She keeps relying on herself and is full of enthusiasm, but in the end she is looking for help from everyone. But she is lucky now.
Just like now, she also wants to intervene in the affairs of Princess Wei. Princess Wei really cares so much about her daughter that she dares not let the Huo family take the lead, so she will let others take the lead? If she really wants to make a fuss, the King of Wei may not agree.
People may not always make mistakes, but if you walk by the river often, your shoes will get wet.
Huiyin was very able to control herself. She had not heard it with her own ears, so she could not be completely sure of what Gao and Lu said. What if they were deliberately trying to instigate her and she fell for it, which would only make the relationship between the two families strained?
She had no tolerance for the Yin sisters. What Uncle Cui did had nothing to do with her. Li Cheng could feel guilty because he was a vested interest, but she would not. If Yin Liyi really talked about her behind her back, she would not let her off so easily.
Just like the full-month banquet for Yin Liyi's son, when Huiyin passed by, she smiled and congratulated Old Madam Xie and Yin Liyi.
"Congratulations on the birth of your baby. When the child was born, we were still on the way. I have prepared all the gifts today. Please don't be surprised." Huiyin said with a smile.
Madam Xie said, "It is a great honor for our Xie family that you can come here."
Yin Liyi knew that Huiyin was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's business, nor did she have the spirit of helping others when seeing injustice. Telling her about Jianjia's affairs would only bring humiliation to herself.
In the past, she was a little afraid of Huiyin, always feeling that she was awe-inspiring, shrewd, and difficult to talk to. But gradually, she felt that because of Huiyin's existence, their childhood friendship no longer existed.
even……
She heard from Xie Jiuyi that Xuzhou was already impassable, and the Xuzhou soldiers only listened to the King of Huaiyin and not the King of Wei. This was not the case before. If the King of Huaiyin had not surrendered to the King of Wei, how could he have achieved what he has today? Now he wants to betray the King of Wei, which is not acceptable.
People should never forget their roots.
Xie Jiuyi guessed that Zheng must have played a role in this. He was afraid that Li Cheng would not only fail to get rid of King Wei, but also intend to be known by King Wei, and then he would be close to death.
Yin Liyi didn't want to see Li Cheng die. They grew up together and they both wanted to live a good life.
Therefore, she felt that she could no longer back down and could not let Zheng harm Li Cheng.
"Little Princess, I wonder how the young master is doing?" Yin Liyi asked.
Huiyin smiled and said, "Very good."
"That's really good. The young master had only been back to your mother's house for a few months at that time. He had been traveling all the way by boat and train, and we adults couldn't bear it. I didn't expect that he didn't get sick at all. He must be blessed by the gods and Buddhas." Yin Liyi clasped her hands together and chanted Amitabha.
What she said was actually accusing Huiyin of being selfish. She wanted to go back to her parents' home, but she didn't care about the comfort of her child for several months. Which normal person would let a child walk for more than a thousand miles? Wouldn't that be tormenting? It torments the child and the adults.
Huiyin raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that she would find fault with this, so she smiled and said, "I also told you not to leave, but the young prince took my homesickness into consideration and arranged everything. I couldn't not go. However, it wasn't the gods who blessed us along the way. It was all because of my husband and I taking good care of everything. I think a real god wouldn't care about such household affairs. It's not like he has nothing to do after eating. I'll return the wishes to those who really need them."
Even though Yin Liyi was not a social butterfly, she could tell that Huiyin was scolding her for meddling in other people's business. She immediately said, "Don't be angry, little princess. I am straightforward and always say what I think. I said this because I care about you."
Somehow, Huiyin felt a little tea-scented after hearing this. She smiled slightly and said, "Look at you. You have forgotten that last time your daughter was sick, you disobeyed the military order and went to pick her up even though women were not allowed to go to the military camp at the front. I advised you, but you didn't listen. It shows that most people won't listen unless it happens to them."
Yin Liyi raised her head sharply and said sternly, "I have obtained the approval of the King of Wei."
"I thought that since you were the King of Wei's sister-in-law, you would be more likely to obey his 82 military orders. But now, I'm the first to make an exception for you. I'm sorry, I'm straightforward and always say what I think. I'm only saying this because I care about you." Huiyin said with a smile.
Yin Liyi used to be successful in saying "I'm straightforward, I didn't mean it" to others, and everyone said they didn't care anymore. But now she was turned against her. She stammered a few times and didn't know what to say.
