Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 153 Guo Cuiyan’s plan

Guo Cuiyan coaxed Ms. Guo into a good mood. She took her maid out of Songlet Hall and walked to Lixiangyuan where she lived.

The maid Chunhong held two pieces of fine clothing material given by Guo, and said happily: "My aunt is so kind to you, and she gave you such a good thing."

Guo Cuiyan was tired after dealing with Mrs. Guo for a long time. She simply sat down in the shade of the corridor, glanced at Chun Hong, and sneered: "You really have never seen the world, but you just rewarded two pieces of material." Make you happy like this."

After hearing Guo Cuiyan's words, Chunhong looked around at the palace with its carved galleries and painted buildings. She sighed slightly and said, "Everywhere in this mansion is full of splendor. Hey! Look at the food and clothing expenses of the female family members in this mansion. It’s really a life lived by a god.”

She glanced at her girl's face and said: "I can see that my aunt really likes you. You have to find a way to coax her and let her make the decision to arrange a good marriage for you. You will be like this in the future." It would be nice to live a life of glory and wealth like the lady here."

Guo Cuiyan gently shook the fan in her hand and said calmly: "No matter how prosperous and wealthy the family is, can they go beyond this town's government palace?"

Chunhong was Guo Cuiyan's personal maid. She knew that although her girl looked soft, she had a strong temper. How could she not know what she was planning in her heart? She lowered her voice and said, "Although the eldest young master in this mansion is a talented person and has a smooth career, But the Xu family already has a son and a daughter, so I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to shake.”

She leaned into her girl's ear and said: "Now that you have entered the palace, I think you might as well give the prince a try. The prince's wife comes from a small family and has no family to support her. She also has no heirs. Anyway, Better than Xu's."

Guo Cuiyan rolled her eyes red, looked around, and said in a low voice: "You only see things with your eyes but not your heart."

“Shen seems to be quiet, but she is more energetic than Xu. Besides, the Li family’s son looks cold on the outside, but he is a kind person.”

Chunhong retorted: "No way, I think the prince is just indifferent to the Shen family."

Guo Cuiyan snorted coldly: "Don't you see, he didn't show how passionate he was towards his wife in front of outsiders, but you can tell from the look in his eyes at Shen that the Li family's son only has Shen in his heart." .”

Chunhong replied: "Why don't you compromise first and use some means to become the concubine of the heir apparent of the Li family, and then wait for an opportunity to get rid of the Shen family to plan for the future."

Guo Cuiyan secretly sighed: "In terms of character and appearance, the son of the Li family is naturally more outstanding, but I am afraid that such a man is not something I can control. Besides, look at his attitude of always repelling others. It’s so cold outside.”

Guo Cuiyan waved her hand: "It would be good if we can take him down in one fell swoop. If we can't take him down, it will be the end of us if the prince turns against us. Let's discuss this matter in the long run."

Chunhong looked worried and replied: "It's just that Xu's natal family is very tough. Even if your aunt can support you, Xu's natal family is not that easy to deal with."

 The master and servant were shamelessly plotting here, when they saw a graceful woman walking over from a distance.

Guo Cuiyan narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered: "With this person's help, what can't be done?"

As the graceful figure approached, Guo Cuiyan stood up, looked at her with a smile and said, "Where are you going, Aunt Mei?"

Ever since this beautiful girl was sent out of the Zhenguo Palace by the old lady herself, she has become a nameless outsider. Although she has returned to the mansion temporarily with the help of her unborn son, everyone in the mansion is afraid to avoid her. However, she rarely went out of Chenxi Pavilion, so she didn't know Guo Cuiyan, who had just arrived in the mansion.

Seeing the confusion on her master's face, Xiaohong hurriedly leaned into her ear and said, "This girl is the second wife's distant niece, Miss Cuiyan Biao."

As soon as Mei Niang heard that she was a relative of Li Xian's family, she immediately put on a smile and said softly: "I can't stand the heat in the house, so I came to the verandah to cool down for a while."

Guo Cuiyan looked at Mei Niang's slightly swollen belly and asked with concern: "My cousin, the baby in your belly is already five months old, right?" No one in this house treats Mei Niang as a serious person. Guo Cuiyan said this "Little cousin sister-in-law" called Mei Niang almost to tears. She sat down next to Guo Cuiyan, caressed her belly, and said shyly: "The baby in this house is more than five months old."

Guo Cuiyan warmly stepped forward and touched Mei Niang's slightly bulging belly, and said with a smile: "My little cousin is so handsome, I'm sure this child will be more beautiful when she is born in the future."

　　When mentioning the child, Mei Niang's eyes couldn't help but dim. She sighed slightly and said, "No matter how beautiful she is, it's of no use. With a humble mother like me, she has no future no matter how good she is."

Seeing her loss, Guo Cuiyan comforted her: "My sister-in-law, please don't be upset because she is pregnant. Although I just came here not long ago, I have heard a few words from my aunt about what happened in my cousin's house. If the old lady doesn't want to see you anymore, you will give birth to me." The child is also the direct blood and flesh of the Duke's Mansion in this town. I think the old man's suggestion to let you go out after the child is born is just an angry talk. After the child is born, how can he be separated from his biological mother? Even if the old lady refuses then, Let go, I’m afraid my aunt and cousin won’t be willing to let their children leave their mother.”

What she said made Mei Niang burst into tears, and she cried: "Hey! These matters are not all decided by the old lady and the second wife. The one who can't tolerate me is the eldest lady."

Guo Cuiyan waited for the opportunity and said: "Although my cousin-in-law has a strong temperament, the husband is the wife's guide. There is no way he can get past my cousin, right?"

Mei Niang's eyes rolled and she said with a sneer, "My cousin is right, that's exactly what happened."

In the beginning, she was trying to control Li Xian's softness, and she succeeded in everything. But since Li Xian was promoted to the cabinet, he has become even more concerned about his reputation. Although he has brought her back to the house, he no longer cares about her as before. She hasn't seen anyone else for more than ten days.

The two of them were chatting here. Li Xian came back from duty and walked towards this side from a distance.

Meiniang came here today because she was not at ease and came to wait for Li Xian. When she saw Li Xian coming, she quickly stood up and took two steps forward to meet him. She timidly called out: "Mr. Lang."

Li Xian is indeed more concerned about his reputation because he is now in the cabinet and does not want to make the family uneasy anymore. In addition, he is also a little annoyed by this charming girl. She cried, made trouble and hanged herself. , there are times when a man can’t bear it.

Now that he saw her waiting for him here with her belly bulging out against the sun, Li Xian was somewhat moved. He stepped forward to support her and said angrily: "It's such a hot day, why don't you rest in the house and come here?" What are you here for?"

Without waiting for Mei Niang to reply, Guo Cuiyan on the side replied: "My sister-in-law has been waiting here for my cousin for a long time."

Meiniang timidly said: "I haven't seen my husband for several days, and I feel uneasy, so I came over to take a look. My husband must not get tired of me."

Li Xian looked at Mei Niang and replied: "You are saying stupid things. You are pregnant with my child. How can I get tired of you?"

Guo Cuiyan smiled and agreed: "Yes, my sister-in-law is pregnant with a child now, and she is most afraid of overthinking. My cousin is a responsible person, how can he not care about you?"

These few words coaxed Li Xian into obeying, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

Guo Cuiyan waited for an opportunity and continued: "The weather in the west is getting more and more fierce now. Cousin, please take your sister-in-law back to have a rest. It's very serious if you catch the heat."

Li Xian smiled and said to Guo Cuiyan: "Cousin, let's go first."

As he spoke, he supported his delicate concubine and headed towards Chenxi Pavilion.
