Chanyi smiled and agreed.
They left behind the Lan family's carriage, driver, and two servants, so they could pick up Chanyi later.
The group went ahead first, and Chanyi and the others headed straight for the Meng family's estate.
Displaying the Crown Prince's Palace sign naturally wouldn't get you stopped.
Not only that, but the old lady of the Meng family also had to come to pick her up.
She was furious, but she had no choice but to come.
Chanyi was originally a girl from the Meng family, so she was more familiar with the family than others.
She greeted him politely.
The old lady of the Meng family looked at her and felt extremely awkward.
"Who is this, Miss Chanyi?" She hadn't called her by that name at first; Chanyi herself had said that she had changed her name.
"Oh, our Lady is on her way to Jingci Temple and was passing by here. She just realized it's the Meng family's estate. She heard you were ill, so she sent me to check on you. Where's Aunt Li? I heard she lives here?"
Madam Meng hurriedly sent someone to fetch them.
She's so easily frightened right now that she can't even imagine that Yan Nangui can actually do anything to her.
When Li arrived, she was also surprised, after all, Chanyi was a familiar face.
Li is now seriously ill, just skin and bones, and has long lost her former beauty. She stands there like a ghost, cowering in fear.
Madam Meng was furious when she saw her like this, especially now that she had seen Yan Nangui.
So he scolded, "What's wrong with you? Sit down."
Li then sat down.
Chanyi smiled and said, "It was Liangyuan who asked me to come. To be honest, I didn't know what to say. Now our third young lady is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Meng family. So, we're relatives."
Madam Meng felt frustrated as she listened: "If Consort Yan has anything to say, she should just say it directly. The past was... a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? Madam Li is magnanimous, but our Liangyuan is often said to be the most vengeful and petty. However, although she is vengeful, she doesn't only hold grudges. Look, poor Dujuan, didn't our Liangyuan take pity on her? Her family treats her badly, only knowing how to ask for money. Madam doesn't care about her either. Although her indenture is still in effect, she no longer exists in this world."
Because Du Juan has changed her identity and become an ordinary person.
To fly far away.
"What did you say? Dujuan? That slut Dujuan was actually bribed by that bitch!" Old Madam Li stood up, her eyes bloodshot.
"This old lady was just expelled from the palace for her disrespectful behavior, and now she dares to insult His Highness the Crown Prince's family? What's wrong? Has the Meng family climbed up to the Second Prince? Are they determined to become founding fathers?" Chanyi said angrily.
Madam Li knew she had spoken out of turn, but she was so angry and furious that she couldn't say anything conciliatory.
“She was the one who wanted a divorce! Why are you blaming us now? Even if things weren’t going well in the past, it doesn’t mean we treated her any differently!” Old Madam Li sat back down, her chest heaving.
"Look at what you're saying, no one said you were wrong. Our Lady said that what's past is past."
It's all in the past, but that doesn't stop her from taking revenge.
"Please calm down, Madam. This matter in the palace is just embarrassing, it's nothing serious," Chanyi said with a smile, trying to guide her.
Madam Li looked at her, and for a long time she couldn't say a word.
She had her doubts, but she still felt that Yan Nangui couldn't do it...
But today, she actually felt afraid.
Li Shi is now cowering there, trembling with fear.
Chanyi stood up with a smile: "Aunt Li, are you scared now? Why weren't you scared when you made up your mind? Our Liangyuan is the eldest daughter of the Yan family. The only legitimate daughter. Although the Yan family owed her a debt in the past, she was young and didn't know how to get close to them. How come she's the one who's all alone and helpless here with you?"
"Now that the Meng family has a third daughter, it doesn't mean everything will be perfect for you. There's always a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children."
Chanyi smiled and said, "This servant will take her leave now."
"Oh, right... many of the servants in the Meng family don't have it easy. At least I didn't have it easy back then. Our Liangyuan can be really ruthless. But as long as you're loyal, you'll have a very good life following her. Look, isn't Dujuan a perfect example?"
These words hit Madam Li squarely on the head.
Does this mean that besides Yan Nangui, there were other people in the Meng family who sought refuge with them?
So much so that she didn't even have the mind to think about whether someone was born of the principal wife or a concubine.
Aren't they all legitimate children?
Li reacted much faster. After trembling for a while, she chased after them, all the way to the outside of the manor: "Miss Chanyi!"
Without saying a word, she knelt down: "Miss Chanyi, I beg you, I beg Yan Liangyuan. Please spare my life. I will do whatever she says. As long as I am still useful, please tell Yan Liangyuan. I don't want anything else, I just want to live. I was wrong in the past, I won't make excuses, I just want to live."
She knelt earnestly, and her kowtows were also earnest.
Chanyi supported her: "Don't worry, as long as you are still useful, you can live."
As for whether it will be useful, we'll have to go back and ask our master first.
Li released her hand: "Okay, as long as I'm useful, anything is fine, I'm willing."
Li was pulled up by her maid: "What are you doing, Aunt?"
"What are you doing? If you keep begging on your knees, I'll die sooner or later. You're my closest person. If I die, how can you possibly be alright even if you live?" Li said.
The maid paused, then sighed, "That Yan family is determined to torment us, how can we possibly help them?"
“…I don’t know, maybe I’ll still be useful?” said Li.
Li wasn't stupid; after all that torment, her mind became clearer.
She's definitely still useful.
Yan Nangui will not let the Meng family off the hook. Although she and her aunt concocted the scheme to drug Yan Nangui, she might still be useful in destroying the Meng family.
At that moment, she truly felt the terror of the migrating geese.
She was filled with regret, but she also knew that regret was useless.
I had just walked back when I heard that the old lady had fainted and they needed to call a doctor.
Li glanced at the main house and then turned and left.
Aunt and niece? Ha! These days, her aunt sees her as an enemy. Whatever.
At Jingci Temple, Lan Xiangyi not only enshrined her younger sister's memorial tablet, but also her parents'.
Yan Nangui kowtowed and offered incense to the two elders of the Lan family and his own mother.
Lan Xiangyi just knelt there, tears streaming down her face, without saying a word.
Yan Nangui helped her up: "His Highness agreed to my request. As long as he ascends the throne, the Princess will have to perform the rites of a concubine in front of my mother."
“This…this…” Lan Xiangyi was stunned.
"I think, although everyone says that my father loved my mother very much, there was still too much between them. When the eldest princess entered the family, she gave birth to two children. Those were the Yan family's children. Whether they were good or bad, whether they were loved or not, was one thing, but their existence was another matter."
"The eldest princess went to great lengths to enter the Yan family. So I'll have her stay in the Yan family. I want her to be the Yan family's concubine forever."
"As for the old lady, she has been watching coldly for so many years without doing anything. Let her continue to watch coldly. Let her watch the Wang family decline. Let her no longer be able to care about the Yan family."
