"My dear Second Lady, she has a habit of speaking nonsense, so there's no need for Miss Sang to take her seriously."
"What's wrong with her? She's a perfectly fine person, and after marrying into your family, she suddenly has issues. How do you take care of her?"
"Oh, the plight of women, especially those who marry far away. It's even more pitiful for those whose families are not nearby to support them."
"Even though the Qi Family has more beauties in the Rear Courtyard than the emperor's harem, they are truly too busy to overlook our He Chuan Princess. After all, her status demands it."
"When His Majesty works diligently for the Great Jing Dynasty, the people praise him. Even those in the martial world have spoken well of him. Because of his efforts, although the court and the martial world have traditionally kept to themselves, their relationship has warmed considerably in recent times."
"In this context, the existence of He Chuan Princess becomes increasingly significant and prominent."
"So I hope the Qi Family will cherish and love her, and not let down He Chuan Princess's deep feelings for you."
"Sang Qingxiao is not afraid of angering Qi Hao but hopes he won't vent his anger on He Chuan Princess, after all, she is Qi Xiaomian's mother."
"No matter what she has done in the past or how she feels about Qi Xiaomian, their relationship can never be changed."
"If anything happens to He Chuan, Qi Xiaomian will undoubtedly be implicated, especially since he is currently residing in the Qi Family."
After a heartfelt conversation, Sang Qingxiao left gracefully. Following her memories from yesterday, she found the guest courtyard where Qi Xiaomian lived.
In the courtyard, a maple tree was turning red; as the wind blew, its leaves scattered beautifully across the ground.
Sang Qingxiao watched for a while as Qi Xiaomian set up a tea set in the yard and carefully brewed tea.
Once Sang Qingxiao had enough of watching, Qi Xiaomian poured her a cup and used his Inner Strength to slightly cool it down to a perfect drinking temperature.
After downing her cup quickly, Sang Qingxiao asked for another. "Your place is much cleaner and more scenic than Madam's backyard. I should just stay here; it would save me from all that trouble I just went through."
"Has someone been giving you trouble?"
"Your mother."
"I'm sorry for dragging you into this."
Sang Qingxiao poured herself another cup of tea and waved her hand dismissively. "Am I someone who would suffer losses? Besides, I’ve already made up for it. I just hit your mother; you won’t hold that against me, will you?"
Qi Xiaomian shook his head. "Of course not; I should thank you for dealing with her. Sometimes I feel like hitting her myself!"
"She did say some things to me," Sang Qingxiao recounted what had just happened without any concealment.
Qi Xiaomian looked at her apologetically again and was about to speak when Sang Qingxiao raised her hand to stop him. "Some things are trivial; you don’t need to worry about them. Anyway, I've already vented my frustration."
"Have you heard? Qi Hao's plans have been revealed by your mother, though I don't know where she got the information. However, judging by Qi Hao's ambition, I believe at least half of it is true."
Qi Xiaomian replied, "It should be more than half. If we consider the Empress Dowager in the mix, his chances of success are quite high. First, he will enter the capital and then seek titles. Next, he will threaten the court officials and recruit people from the underworld to join him. With the Court and the Empress Dowager backing him, this path sounds relatively secure."
I listened intently, but it required patience; there were so many titles to strategize over. Promises could be made first, then he could rise to power and distribute titles to win people's hearts and hands.
The two of us were lost in our thoughts, and the atmosphere grew a bit heavy. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Sang Qingxiao shivered, shaking off the haze in his mind.
"Why are we wasting time thinking about this? Qi Xiaomian, you won't let him enter the capital, will you? No matter how thoroughly he plans ahead, if he doesn't get a chance to enter the capital, it means nothing."
