When Qi Mingzhu finished speaking, how could the Princess of the Qin County not understand what she meant?
It was said that Lu Jingning received Qi Zhenzhen and neglected Qi Mingzhu. In reality, it was Lu Jingning's deliberate action to subtly torment Qi Mingzhu.
As the legal wife, the Princess of the Qin County had also tormented her concubines. She was not pleased that a concubine was pregnant.
Therefore, she could understand Lu Jingning's actions. While she understood, it was a different matter when it came to Qi Mingzhu. Firstly, Qi Mingzhu was her granddaughter, and secondly, Qi Mingzhu was pregnant. She was not there for Lu Jingning to torment! Da Feng Novel Network
Lu Jingning herself was not in good health and had difficulty conceiving, which made the child in Qi Mingzhu's belly even more precious. So, why should she torment her? What if something happened to the child?
Furthermore, Lu Jingning behaved very well in front of her. She would treat Qi Mingzhu kindly and get along well with her. She acted well on the surface but used such despicable means behind her back. Thinking that Mingzhu had always been indifferent, she was sure that Mingzhu would come to her to complain, so she acted with impunity?
There was also the daughter-in-law, whose dislike for Mingzhu was undisguised. Lu Jingning dared to be so arrogant now, perhaps with her tacit approval.
"Mingzhu, from now on, you will only come to your maternal grandmother's for morning and evening greetings. As for your aunt and the young madam, you only need to see them here and do not need to greet them again. If anyone specifically asks you to go, try to decline. You are pregnant now, and your health is paramount. If you cannot decline, then be mindful of yourself when you go. Or, before you go, have someone by your side inform your grandmother." The Princess of the Qin County patted Qi Mingzhu's hand and instructed.
Her granddaughter had been doted on and raised with great care. Her daughter had always protected her extremely well. At least, she rarely let her know about the dark dealings within the inner chambers. If she had been accustomed to those dark dealings since childhood, and been influenced by them, her previous actions would not have been so full of loopholes, and instead of harming the person she was dealing with, she would have put herself in an irrecoverable position.
Therefore, when raising a girl, one must not let her be ignorant of any dark dealings. After all, a girl would marry someone else, and if she were too naive, she would only suffer. Her maternal family's influence was too far away, and even if they wanted to help, they could not help much.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Princess of the Qin County offered Qi Mingzhu a series of advice.
Qi Mingzhu noted it all down in her heart, but on the surface, she acted spoiled. "Grandmother, my aunt used to dote on me. This time, I was in the wrong, and it's only right that she's angry. Once her anger subsides, she will forgive Mingzhu. Besides, isn't Grandmother protecting Mingzhu? Mingzhu doesn't want to think about schemes all day."
The Princess of the Qin County sighed, "You foolish child, it's true that your grandmother can protect you, but your grandmother is old and cannot protect you forever. In this Prince's Mansion, your aunt will be in charge in the future, and after that, Lu Jingning will be in charge. Therefore, you should scheme when necessary, at least to ensure your own well-being."
Qi Mingzhu was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Grandmother, Mingzhu will be well-behaved and law-abiding, and will not cause trouble. If, if someone harms me, I will not passively resist. Grandmother, Mingzhu does not want to make cousin difficult. At that time, although I schemed against cousin, he has always treated me very well since childhood. I am his woman now, and I am willing to live a good life with him."
The Princess of the Qin County felt a little emotional. "I've already said that what's past is past, don't mention it again. It's good that you have this thought; your cousin cares about you. In the future, he will be the master of this Prince's Mansion. As long as he remains devoted to you and protects you, your grandmother will be at ease. Therefore, your grandmother hopes you will live a sincere life with your cousin."
