Chapter 1120: Chapter 1126: The Early Bird Catches the Worm
Thinking about those unsightly affairs within the Palace, Chen Yiling was able to let go.
The grand and imposing courtyard had many vying to squeeze in, unaware of the endless scheming and suffering the people inside endured daily.
Better to choose a reliable person and live freely in this world with those she loved.
"Mother, there are bad people in our house; I will go live at godmother’s place."
Qin Mingrui said earnestly, looking up.
The maid had just told him to hide, but he had seen everything clearly: the two visitors were clearly up to no good, and his mother wore a face full of disgust.
Chen Yiling patted her son’s head, "Alright, but you have to ask your godmother what she thinks."
"Of course, you’re welcome," Qiao Duo’er replied.
Qin Mingrui gestured a victory sign.
"While you’re at your godmother’s place, you must stay there well and not cause trouble; Mother will come see you tomorrow."
Inside, she thought how astute the little fellow was, finding an excuse so early to stay with his future bride, preventing someone else from getting there first.
"Mother dear, don’t worry!"
Qin Mingrui said obediently, his mother’s schemes had nothing to do with him, as he was still quite innocent.
Qiao Duo waved her hand: "Then let’s not delay; let’s go together."
Running away like this seemed a bit callous, but since Li Mu’er inexplicably hated her, staying here would only be asking for trouble, possibly even implicating Chen Yiling.
It was not about not being able to provoke her, but rather, once bitten by a mad dog, it was hard to get away without losing a piece of flesh.
"Sigh, what kinds of people aren’t there; she even has a child, yet she still pines for a man who’s out of reach," Chen Yiling couldn’t help but complain.
Just thinking of the two staying in the guest room gave her a headache.
"Miss, are you going to entertain the guests?" Ping’er reminded her.
After all, he was a Prince, and if slighted, he would certainly blame his hostess.
Chen Yiling sighed, then holding her forehead, said, "Oh my, I can’t take it, go invite a doctor quickly; my head hurts so much."
"I will escort Madam back to her room now and you all go quickly to Ha Shi to call a doctor. I see Madam’s sickness seems to be severe."
Ping’er said anxiously.
After helping Chen Yiling back to her room, Ping’er hurriedly poured a cup of hot water, but when she turned around, her mistress was sitting with her legs crossed, nonchalantly watching her.
"Madam, why are you looking at me like that?" Ping’er asked, blushing.
That look was a tad bit frivolous, akin to a hoodlum on the streets.
Chen Yiling curled her lip: "When will you change your shy character? We’re both women, what could I possibly do to you? But you responded quickly today; you almost had me fooled."
"Ah, Madam, you were pretending!" Ping’er said, suddenly realizing.
Chen Yiling couldn’t help but miss ChunTao; Chun Tao understood her best, but although Ping’er was not as shrewd, she was loyal to her.
After what seemed an eternity, Qin Longyun finally returned in the evening, and Chen Yiling couldn’t wait to rush to the door.
"You bad fellow, you still know to come back, huh!" Chen Yiling scolded with affection.
Qin Longyun said indulgently, "There was a murder in the suburbs; luckily, Tan Zhenghong helped, otherwise, we would have been much busier. I’ve wronged you today."
His wife detested dealing with people she didn’t like, yet today, she had managed things on her own for his sake.
"Lady Qin’s illness recovered so quickly?" Li Mu’er asked coldly.
Chen Yiling calmly responded, "Madam, you flatter me. I have long had this headache problem, and as long as I take medicine, it quickly gets better."
