Ji Lingxue clapped her hands and shook off the mud and dust in her hands. "Very good, let's go, it's time for us to leave the house."
She guessed that Ji Yuqing would be the first one to suspect her, and Xiao Yichen, who was cautious by nature, would definitely come to investigate, so she took advantage of the situation and played the role of the silly princess in his mind.
The outer courtyard where Ji Lingxue was located was very convenient for leaving the mansion. She just had to climb over the wall to reach the outer street. Since she was the well-known silly concubine in Prince Chen's mansion, the patrolling guards of the mansion deliberately ignored her courtyard, so she left the mansion quietly.
Mo Xiang closed the gate, hesitated for a moment, and then reminded: "Master, do we still want to go to that kind of place? It is not suitable for someone of your status..."
Ji Lingxue twitched her lips, "What's inappropriate about it? Except for you, no one here thinks I'm a princess."
Mo Xiang looked at Ji Lingxue with sympathy. Her expression was still calm, not sad at all, and she didn't seem to care about being abandoned by Xiao Yichen in this side yard. But such a calm and indifferent master made Mo Xiang feel distressed.
Marriage is every woman’s second reincarnation, and the only one who can be so cheerful is her own master. I don’t know if she really doesn’t care in her heart, or she uses indifference to cover up her inner powerlessness and despair.
Mo Xiang: “Master…” She wanted to comfort her, but didn’t know how, so she just looked at her.
Ji Lingxue understood what Mo Xiang meant and smiled, "It's okay. I don't want to be a princess in name only. If one day my little treasury is full, I will divorce you and start my life anew."
A drop of cold sweat slid down Mo Xiang's forehead. Fortunately, the prince had left, otherwise he would have vomited blood after hearing what the princess said.
In the front yard, Ji Yuqing sat in the house waiting for Zi Su to come back with good news. She was doing needlework with full confidence, holding needle and thread and cloth in her hands, and looking up at the door from time to time.
"Princess..." Zi Su hurried into the house and immediately knelt in front of Ji Yuqing, "I followed the prince all the way to the side yard, but the prince just stood outside the side yard wall for a while and left without questioning them... Maybe the poison in the prince's body took effect, and he was in a hurry to detoxify, so he let the vicious master and servant go. Those who dared to plot against the prince should be beaten out of the palace."
Listening to Zi Su's indignant words, Ji Yuqing put down her needlework and became thoughtful.
"Tomorrow... is the day I go back to my parents' home..." Ji Yuqing said, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Now Xiao Yichen's face is covered with red rashes. Will he, who is so concerned about his reputation, go back to his parents' home with her
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Zi Su was good at observing people's expressions. Seeing that Ji Yuqing looked unhappy, she immediately asked with concern.
Ji Yuqing sighed and said, "I'm afraid the prince is busy with official business and can't accompany me back home." There was a hint of sadness in her tone. Her hand subconsciously touched her abdomen, wondering when she could get pregnant to consolidate her position.
Zi Su rolled her eyes and smiled, "I heard from the housekeeper that the prince will be very busy these two days. The emperor just sent someone to invite the prince to the palace. He can't accompany you back home. Isn't there a silly concubine? She is your biological sister. It is only natural to let her accompany you back to your parents' home. It would be even better if she could not return to the mansion. Now all your worries will be solved."
Ji Yuqing nodded. If her silly sister went out and couldn't come back accidentally, she would become Xiao Yichen's only princess. Thinking of this, a calculating smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
