Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1113: Chapter 1113: Searching for Allies (Fifth Update)_1 Chapter 1113: Chapter 1113: Searching for Allies (Fifth Update)_1 Bai Zhi’s eyes shifted upon hearing this.

In the past, she would have agreed without a second thought.

But having just been reprimanded by her great-grandfather, she didn’t want to cause any trouble now.

Qiao Xiaomai was the favorite in Yang Wenxiao’s presence. If Xiaomai couldn’t be dealt with this time, Bai Zhi would be the one to suffer.

However, she couldn’t bear to let this opportunity slip by.

Although she realized her past mistakes, she had not swallowed the anger Xiaomai caused her. Now that Xiaomai’s in-laws had come all the way to Capital City, it was a good opportunity that she should seize.

Hmm… what to do?

After hesitating for a moment, she swept her gaze over Qiao Meipan and asked, “Who is she?”

“She is Qiao Xiaomai’s young aunt by marriage. Her brother is the scholar Sun Junyan, but her brother is now locked up in prison… So she followed him to Capital City, hoping the princess could stand up for her,” Tong Xingda explained Qiao Meipan’s current situation.

Qiao Meipan was Qiao Xiaomai’s young aunt, and it wasn’t very honorable to have an aunt supported by her niece.

But Bai Zhi had a grudge against Qiao Xiaomai, so even if the situation were stated truthfully, she would not scoff at it.

As expected, after hearing his account, Bai Zhi nodded, “That being said, Qiao Xiaomai is indeed going too far, owning so much land, yet only allowing her own aunt to live off scraps.”

“Alright, I understand your grievances. I need to think about this matter. Are you staying at an inn, or at the Wang Residence?”

“At the Wang Residence, at the Wang Residence,” Tong Xingda hastily replied.

“Then it’s settled, I’ll arrange for you to stay in the guest rooms. Whether I’ll help you or not, you’ll know in a few days. Just wait at ease,” Bai Zhi said as she stood up and walked out of the garden.

She wouldn’t dare make a move against Qiao Xiaomai on her own.

But she could seek allies. The Empress did not like Xiaomai, so she could go to the Palace to find Yao Xian and see if there was a method.

However, to leave the Palace, she would first have to get her house arrest lifted by her great-grandfather.

With the excuse of apologizing to the Retired Emperor, she easily got permission from the Bai senior to leave the Wang Residence, boarded her sedan chair, and headed for the Palace.

First, she went to Da’an Palace to admit her mistakes to Yang Wenxiao.

Seeing her in tears, Wenxiao knew she had been scolded and didn’t hold it against her, waving her away.

Then she went to see Emperor Yong’an, who also didn’t take her to task. After leaving Daming Palace, she headed straight for Yuexian Palace.

It was now midafternoon, and Yao Xian was pinching her nose, sipping on the Lily Lotus Seed Soup that Xiaomai had stewed.

Now certain of the existence of “Divine Liquid,” she was at peace, not only ceasing to ask Emperor Yong’an for favors but also taking the initiative to apologize for her previous behavior–claiming to have spoken out of fear of ghosts, pleading for forgiveness.

Emperor Yong’an scolded her a few sentences, and the matter was considered over.

Seeing Bai Zhi arrive with her eyes red and swollen, she motioned for her to sit, “What has made you cry like this?”

“I just finished apologizing to Grandpa Emperor and the Sovereign,” Bai Zhi answered.

This remark touched a nerve with Yao Xian. Ah, apologies, apologies, all are the lament of underdogs.

With a sigh, she comforted Bai Zhi a few words. Bai Zhi indicated there was nothing wrong and then explained why she had come.

Putting on a troubled expression, she recounted Tong Xingda’s visit, and finally said, “They even want me to find a wife for his son. I am a princess, why should I do the job of a matchmaker?”

Yao Xian raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Tong Xingda and the Zhang Family had actually come to Capital City to complain about Qiao Xiaomai?

The relationship was certainly messy.
