Chapter 348: It would be a lie if she didn’t blame her

Ge Chunru’s face was darkened throughout her journey.
She felt particularly annoyed due to the noise outside.
Fortunately, she was leaving the capital.
Otherwise, Xiao Hanzheng and his wife would be too much of an eyesore.
She hated to hear about them.!!
She forced a smile when she arrived at the second prince’s residence.
The second prince’s consort did not meet Ge Chunru.
Instead, she asked a servant girl to send her directly to Ge Chunying.
Ge Chunying was half-lying on the bed, looking rather haggard.
Ge Chunru immediately felt her heart ache when she saw her like this. “Chunying, what’s wrong with you?”
Ge Chunying asked the maids to leave and reached out to hold Ge Chunru. “I’m fine.”
Ge Chunru was extremely anxious. “You still say you’re fine? Why do you look so awful? Did someone bully you?”
Ge Chunying forced a smile. “I have the highness’s child. I wanted to eat osmanthus cake yesterday, but the kitchen never sent it over.
“I went over to take a look when I was angry. I slipped on the road, so I didn’t look too good.”
Ge Chunru exploded with anger. “Why didn’t the kitchen send it to you? You have the second prince’s child in your stomach now.”
She asked again, “Is the child okay?”
Ge Chunying nodded. “The child is fine. Fortunately, when I slipped, a servant girl quickly used her body to cushion me.”
She wiped her tears with a handkerchief. “Those in the kitchen received bribes from her, so they deliberately delayed making it for me.”
Ge Chunru knew that her sister was talking about the other side concubine.
She gnashed her teeth and said, “What a vicious woman.
“When the second prince comes, you can go and tell him.”
Ge Chunying shook her head. “I don’t want to disturb his highness with this kind of thing. Forget it.
“From now on, I won’t go out in the courtyard.
“If I need to eat anything, I’ll just endure it.”
She made up this matter, so of course, she couldn’t tell the second prince.
She didn’t look too good, mainly because she had been vomiting too much recently.
When Ge Chunru heard her say that, her heart ached terribly.
Her sister had suffered too much.
She was once a housekeeper, and had used a similar method to deal with Tao Liu before.
So she knew that the kitchen really knew how to prepare dishes based on a person’s identity and knowing who was providing the money.
The last time, in order to raise 20,000 taels of silver for her, her sister had no money and couldn’t even eat snacks.
She couldn’t help but feel guilty.
“Bear with it for now. When I settle down at the northern border, I’ll get someone to send you money.”
It was a pity that Xiao Yuanshi was keeping a close watch on the things at home.
Otherwise, if she sold a shop or some land, she could at least raise a few thousand taels of silver for her sister.
Because of this, she was even more resentful towards Xiao Yuanshi.
She hated Shi Qingluo and Xiao Baili even more.
Ge Chunying’s lips curled up slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.
She looked at Ge Chunru with concern and said considerately, “It’s fine. I’m pregnant. No matter what, they won’t dare to do anything to me. At most, they’ll send it to me later.
“Go to the northern border and try to win back my brother-in-law’s heart. I’ll be satisfied as long as you can live a peaceful life with him like you used to.
“You don’t have to send me money.”
The more she acted like this, the more guilty Ge Chunru felt.
She felt that she hadn’t pampered her younger sister for nothing.
“Your brother-in-law’s appointment was announced. He’ll be the deputy governor of the northern city. When the time comes, he’ll have a lot of money. Giving you some money won’t hurt much.”
She added, “Besides, when you took out 20,000 taels of silver, I’ve already said that it’s a loan to me. I’ll definitely return it to you.”
Ge Chunying pretended to be angry. “Sister, we’re related by blood. Talking about money hurts our relationship. Let alone 20,000 taels of silver, even if you want all of my belongings, I’m fine with it.
“Don’t say that you’re returning it. Otherwise, I’ll get angry.”
In her heart, she was really lost for words about her sister.
To frame Xiao Baili, she actually got herself involved in it.
She never knew that her sister would be so stupid.
Moreover, she couldn’t even tie down a man.
Xiao Yuanshi used to be so considerate to her sister, but now he pushed her to the side because of that concubine and even took away her housekeeper’s authority.
If she weren’t her biological sister, she wouldn’t even bother with her.
Also, her brother-in-law was becoming more and more shameless.
He was extorted 50,000 taels by his daughter-in-law.
Couldn’t he source for it himself and give it to her?
He insisted on having her sister come and ask for 20,000 taels of silver, as if he had never seen money in his entire life.
If not for the fact that Shi Qingluo would really send her sister to prison if she didn’t receive the money, she wouldn’t have taken out 20,000 taels of silver.
With a sister in prison, how would she be able to meet people when she was with the second prince’s consort?
The previous time when her sister and Zheng Tongfeng had an affair, she was thoroughly embarrassed at the second prince’s residence.
She would often be ridiculed by those b * tches.
During that period of time, she did not dare to go out much.
She was afraid that she would meet the weird gazes from others.
It would be a lie if she said that she did not blame her sister.
Without 20,000 taels of silver, her finances were very tight.
Xiao Yuanshi would be earning money very easily at the northern border.
She believed that he would be able to earn back tens of thousands of taels of silver very quickly.
That was why she put on this act to cause her sister’s heart to ache.
When the time came, it would also be easier to receive the money back.
Without money, it was too difficult to live in the backyard, even if she was very favored.
Moreover, she needed money to be favored.
Otherwise, she would be looked down upon.
Ge Chunru felt warm in her heart when she heard that. “Alright, I won’t discuss money with you.
“Anyway, take care of yourself. When I go to the northern border, I’ll keep Xiao Yuanshi on a tight leash. Don’t worry.”
She asked, “By the way, is there any news about Chunyi?”
Ge Chunying sighed. “His Highness said not long ago that his men went to the northern border but were discovered by King Jin’s men, so his men died in the northern border instead.
“He said he would send someone to investigate again.
“Since you’ve gone to the northern border this time, you should look for my second brother as well.”
She was naturally concerned about her second brother’s safety.
However, she couldn’t keep urging the second prince.
Otherwise, it would be disadvantageous to her if he was unhappy.
Ge Chunying rubbed her belly.
Right now, no one was more important than the flesh and blood in her belly.
If anything really happened to her second brother, she would think of a way to avenge her second brother when she became the second prince’s consort or when the second prince rose up to that position.
Ge Chunru was really anxious about her brother’s safety. “Well, fortunately, we’re going to the northern border soon.
“I’ll urge your brother-in-law to speed up along our way there.”
At this moment, she could not wait to go directly to the northern border to find her brother and ask Xiao Yuanshi to get a position for her brother in the northern city.
She would feel more at ease with him by her side.
Ge Chunying nodded. “Yes, thank you for your hard work, elder sister.”
She coaxed again. “In the future, when I have a firm footing, I’ll support you and my second brother.”
Ge Chunru smiled and said, “You have to take good care of yourself now. Giving birth to a fat boy for the second prince is the most important thing.”
Ge Chunying said shyly, “Sister!”
Then, she probed further.
When she heard that her sister and her brother-in-law had reconciled, and that her sister had even taken back the position of housekeeper, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Although she was dissatisfied with Xiao Yuanshi in her heart, it could not be denied that Xiao Yuanshi’s feelings for her sister were truly deep.
If she were anyone else who dared to make her husband a cuckold, they would probably have divorced long ago.
However, this was also good.
Xiao Yuanshi had gone to the northern border.
Whether it was the military power in his hands or the money he would earn there, they were all of help to her.
The second prince needed military power.
As long as Xiao Yuanshi was still useful, he would treat her and her child well.
