Meng Chun walked briskly back to the Princess Dowager's Mansion and happened to meet Cui Lingyi at the gate.
"Miss Cui, you're here."
Cui Lingyi nodded. Seeing that she had brought so many people, she said, "Where did Miss Meng Chun come back from?"
Since Cui Lingyi was one of their own, Meng Chun didn't hide it: "Today, Lord Jiang of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion moved back to the mansion. The maid was ordered by the princess to send some congratulatory gifts to Lord Jiang. By the way, we also need to prevent the marquis's wife from stepping on Lord Jiang to build her own reputation."
Hearing this, Cui Lingyi couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "The princess really cares about Lord Jiang."
"The princess also cares about you, Miss Cui. Doesn't she invite you to come and sit at home every now and then?"
As they were talking, they entered the Princess Dowager's Mansion.
Hearing Meng Chun's words, Cui Lingyi slightly curled her lips: "Every time I come to the Princess Dowager's Mansion, I really feel much more relaxed."
"The princess will be happy if you can come and talk to her," Meng Chun said. "You must come more often in the future."
"Okay."
Just like this, they walked all the way to the Moon - Viewing Pavilion. As soon as Meng Chun saw Jiang Ning'an standing by the lake, she subconsciously quickened her steps: "Princess, are you feeding the fish again?"
When she got closer, she found that Lin Ji was standing on the other side, holding fish food in his hand.
Jiang Ning'an's hands were empty.
"Meng Chun, you're like guarding against thieves."
Meng Chun smiled embarrassedly: "Princess, it's just because you used to feed the fish too fat before. Two or three of them were even stuffed to death. Those are all rare treasures sent from the palace. We can't waste them like this all the time."
"Got it, got it. So wordy."
Jiang Ning'an turned her head. Seeing Cui Lingyi coming, she said, "Let's go inside."
Even inside the pavilion, there was no trace of stuffiness in the Moon - Viewing Pavilion.
"This place of the princess is really nice. It's not hot at all," Cui Lingyi said with a smile. "After staying with the princess for a long time, I feel uncomfortable as soon as I go back."
After experiencing a series of things, Cui Lingyi had finally changed. The cute and lively energy on her body had been completely worn away, and instead, there was a bit of cold - blooded determination.
Jiang Ning'an retracted her gaze imperceptibly: "If that's the case, then you might as well just move here."
Cui Lingyi paused in the act of drinking tea, and the smile on her face became a bit unnatural: "Princess, don't joke. I'm fine like this now."
"Fine my foot," Jiang Ning'an said. "If you're afraid that people will make wild guesses after the divorce, then come to the Princess Dowager's Mansion. I can protect you."
Cui Lingyi subconsciously looked at Jiang Ning'an but didn't say a word.
After a while, Cui Lingyi said, "Princess, why are you so concerned about my affairs?"
Jiang Ning'an had a lofty status. Over the years, she rarely showed up at banquets of various families in the capital, let alone cared so much about anyone.
"The princess just takes a fancy to you."
Cui Lingyi was helpless: "Princess, stop joking."
Jiang Ning'an leaned back on the chair and slowly picked up the teacup: "We can be regarded as sharing a common hatred."
Cui Lingyi was puzzled.
After a while, Cui Lingyi suddenly realized: "Does the princess mean Miss Chu, Chu Yu?"
"You still remember her."
A flash of cold light passed through Cui Lingyi's eyes: "How could I forget?"
If it weren't for Chu Yu, how could her life have become like this?
But she also thought that Fu Qingya's change of heart was ultimately his own fault. So for such a long time, Cui Lingyi never went to look for Chu Yu.
But not looking for her didn't mean she didn't resent her.
Jiang Ning'an nodded slightly: "It's her. The princess is not a magnanimous person. I won't let go of those who betray and those who instigate behind the scenes."
Cui Lingyi tightened her lips.
"By the way, how's Fu Qingya recently?"
"He... seems to be getting a taste of pleasure recently?"
Saying this, Cui Lingyi's expression became a bit strange.
Recently, she always felt that Fu Qingya even seemed a bit... looking forward to what happened every night.
It might be an overstatement to say he was looking forward to it. But now, Fu Qingya would take a bath and burn incense every night, as if he was specifically waiting for something.
Hearing Cui Lingyi's words, Jiang Ning'an's expression also became a bit strange: "It can be like this?"
"Exactly," Cui Lingyi said. "I don't even know if I should continue to send him there now."
She always felt that sending him there actually made Fu Qingya more comfortable.
Jiang Ning'an rubbed her forehead.
How could things develop to this point?
It was just so strange.
"Then stop caring about Fu Qingya. What do you really think?"
Cui Lingyi sighed: "I originally thought that if I stayed in the Fu family, I could see him sad and painful every day. But now..."
Now, she didn't know if she should continue to stay.
"Then stop being entangled," Jiang Ning'an said. "Come and work for the princess. With the princess backing you up, no one will dare to say anything."
Cui Lingyi didn't say a word.
Seeing this, Zhenzhu quickly leaned down and said, "Miss, this is such a good thing. With the princess here, you don't have to worry about those things. Just live your life in peace!"
Cui Lingyi tightened her lips: "But won't I cause trouble for the princess like this?"
Jiang Ning'an didn't care at all: "You don't have to worry about this. Nothing is a trouble when it comes to the princess. If it really doesn't work, the princess will go to see the emperor."
Cui Lingyi:...
Why did she suddenly feel a bit sorry for the emperor?
However, since Jiang Ning'an had said so, Cui Lingyi didn't want to decline anymore.
Because she had to admit that she really didn't want to stay in the Fu family anymore.
In the Fu family, she was already out of breath.
"...Princess, then I'll be bothering you."
Jiang Ning'an stared at her and finally smiled: "Go back and pack your things. Move them here slowly first. After the divorce, just come here yourself."
Meng Chun said with a smile: "The guest room has always been reserved for you by the princess. You can come anytime."
Cui Lingyi nodded: "Thank you, princess."
Watching the mistress and maid leave, Meng Chun couldn't help but feel happy: "Great! Miss Cui has finally seen the light!"
But there was no smile on Jiang Ning'an's face: "It's a pity that it won't be easy to make this happen."
"Miss Cui herself has seen the light. What could be the obstacle? Do you think the Fu family might not agree?"
Jiang Ning'an shook her head: "Who knows? Anyway, I just feel that this matter won't go so smoothly."
But no matter how difficult it was, as long as they started to do it, there would always be a day when it would be accomplished.
"How about the situation in the marquis's mansion?"
As soon as the marquis's mansion was mentioned, Meng Chun burst into laughter: "Princess, you're really a prophet. When the maid went there, the marquis's wife was really acting with Lord Jiang! If the maid hadn't gone today, I'm afraid many people would have thought that the marquis's wife was a very kind person!"
Jiang Ning'an sighed: "Everyone has a hard time."
