As they spent more time together, she grew to like Yin Jiuniang's personality more and more, and began to treat her as a friend.
Yin Jiuniang said, "If you want to thank someone, thank my Zhen'er. It was because she was worried about you that she kept me here."
Otherwise, she could have taken Sui Sui and her group of kids to Huangzhuang to play.
Cui Yi smiled and said, "Yes, you two have both been kind to me."
Yin Jiuniang loved hearing good things about Ye Zhen, and she was pleased to hear this. She then helped Cui Yishan put on her wedding dress and took Cui Yihuan back to the old lady's courtyard.
Cui Yihuan said, "Ninth Sister, I still need your help. Please bring my grandmother to me."
The Cui family disregarded her life and wanted her to marry in their place. She originally only wanted to go along with the plan and send Cui Yishan over.
But now, she has changed her mind.
She wanted to marry off Old Madam Cui as well, so Cui Yishan would be part of the dowry.
None of the original owner's deaths—including those of Minister Cui and his wife, Old Madam Cui, and Cui Yishan—were innocent.
She also discovered that the original owner's mother's death was caused by Minister Cui and Madam Cui, who, out of greed for her mother's dowry and disdain for her merchant background, poisoned her.
Now that she's in this body, she should at least avenge the original mother and daughter.
Yin Jiuniang raised an eyebrow and gave her a thumbs up.
She liked the idea.
Minister Cui's daughter's marriage to curry favor with the old prince was nothing compared to the dramatic event of marrying off his mother.
Prince Lin has had many wives, so his weddings are not as grand as his first. Moreover, this time the Cui family broke their promise first, so the wedding is not much better than taking a concubine.
He didn't come to fetch the bride in person; it was the steward from the Prince Lin's residence who came.
Minister Cui was displeased and felt he had lost face, so he had his son carry the bride onto the sedan chair and then returned to his study.
As for the banquet, he didn't show up at all. Most of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries went to the imperial estate, and there weren't many guests today, nor was there anything worth his personal hospitality.
But it was precisely so that he could have Cui Yihuan marry in his place that he deliberately chose such a day, claiming it was to bring good luck to Old Madam Cui.
Thinking of Madam Cui, he said to his wife, "The matter has been taken care of. Remember to give Mother the antidote in time."
After Cui Yihuan entered the Marquis's mansion, she never went home. In order to trick her into returning home, they had to make her mother suffer. They gave her some slow-acting medicine to make her appear sick.
Madam Cui blinked. "Don't worry, sir. Once things are settled tomorrow, I will personally feed Mother her medicine."
After years of hardship, the daughter-in-law was finally about to see the light at the end of the tunnel; why would she offer the antidote again?
These things must not be noticed by the master.
