The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 375 The enemy of my enemy is my friend

Outside Kyoto, Baili Pavilion.

Xu Pingting and her mother were sitting in a carriage, holding the silver and thick silver notes sent to her by Chu Chenfeng's men. As long as they were not overly extravagant, it would be enough for them to live for a lifetime, and it would not be a problem to raise two more servants.

But when she thought of what the guard had just said, Xu Pingting still felt uncomfortable.

"Your Highness...can I see him again?" Xu Pingting was nervous, but still asked.

After all, he was the man she had loved for many years, although she knew that he had never taken her seriously.

The guard said expressionlessly, "I'm sorry, Miss Xu, but the prince is very busy and may not have time to see you."

Although Xu Pingting already knew the answer, she still felt indescribable sadness in her heart.

"Ting'er..."

Xu Pingting's mother, Mrs. Lin, looked at her with concern.

Xu Pingting smiled bitterly and patted her mother's back soothingly, "Mom, I'm fine."

Xu Pingting's mother was a daughter of a minor official. The only advantage that made Zhang choose her as her daughter-in-law was that she was well-behaved and obedient. To put it bluntly, she didn't know how to resist. After all, Zhang knew her son's character.

Since her family background is not that good, naturally no one would support her if anything happened.

Lin was a timid and cowardly person all her life, but every time when Xu Pingting was punished, she would always stand in front of her daughter and protect her as much as she could. She also hated the Prime Minister's Mansion, but there was nothing she could do. This world was always harsh on women. She had no other choice but to obey her husband after marriage.

"So... where are we going now? How about... going south to your grandparents' home?"

Xu Pingting sneered, "Mom, don't think about them. Don't you know why they married you to Dad? Wasn't it just to exchange you for their future? They were able to treat you like that back then, and have they cared about anything else except asking for benefits over the years?"

"Then..." Lin looked worried, "Where can we two women go now?"

"The world is so big, there is always a place for us."

"But······"

"Mother," Xu Pingting interrupted her with a firm look in her eyes, "Don't worry, you still have me. We have money, so at least we don't have to worry about life. Let's find a place where no one knows us and start our lives anew. From now on, there will no longer be the eldest grandmother and the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion in this world."

Lin's eyes were red, "Okay, mother has you, I'm not afraid of anything."

The carriage slowly left, and from then on, there was no more Xu Pingting in Kyoto.

In a small town, there was an ordinary mother and daughter who opened a cosmetics shop. Within two years, the daughter married the son of a merchant, gave birth to a pair of children, and lived a comfortable life.

This ending may be the best for Xu Pingting.

Regent's Palace, study.

Situ Yue's face was pale and he had already drunk several glasses of water.

Chu Chenfeng's face was gloomy, "Is Situ Xin dead?"

"Yes."

He frowned. "If he's dead, he's dead. There's nothing for you to worry about."

Bringing him here in such a hurry meant that he had less time to spend with Lan'er. Chu Chenfeng's face was very sour at the moment. He was leaving tomorrow, and the Third Prince of Northern Qi was still wasting his time.

Situ Yue pursed his lips and said, "Although the second son is not favored, he is still a prince after all. No matter how...if father knows about this, he will definitely be furious."

"Then don't let him know."

Situ Yue paused, "Does the Regent have a plan?"

Chu Chenfeng glanced at Xing Yi, who understood. He stepped forward and bowed to Situ Yue, "Don't worry, Third Prince. The master has a capable man under his command who is very good at disguise. And he is so lifelike that no one will be able to tell."

"Really...really?" Situ Yue couldn't believe it.

"Of course it is true. We have already made preparations. Please rest assured, Third Prince. I will let him find you today and go back to Northern Qi with you."

"Okay, okay, that's good. I'll have to trouble the Regent then."

Chu Chenfeng nodded and said nothing.

After they left, Lian Xingyi began to worry, "Master, do you think this Third Prince can be a match for Situ Lian? The information we got before doesn't seem to be very accurate. This Situ Yue is really..."

"Situ Yue's uncle, the General Zhennan, is a very powerful man. Thanks to his help, Situ Yue has been able to gain such a great influence in Northern Qi over the years. Without his uncle, haha."

"Then after the Third Prince returns to Northern Qi, will the General Zhennan still help him?"

"He has no other way to go. I don't expect them to really bring Situ Lian down, but it's good to give him some trouble. This Situ Lian can endure things that ordinary people can't. He is not a simple person."

Xing Yi didn't think so. "Master, do you think too highly of this man? He has been suppressed by Situ Yue for so many years and has no arrogance at all. It is only because the Emperor of Northern Qi insisted that he can keep his position as the crown prince. Otherwise..."

Chu Chenfeng leisurely picked up a cup of tea and said, "Don't just look at the surface when you look at things."

Xing Yi was about to say something when he suddenly thought of something, "Oh, that Whispering Girl sent someone to tell her that she wants to see the Master."

Chu Chenfeng was stunned for a moment. Xingyi thought he didn't remember who Qingyu was, so he explained, "She is the powerful woman next to the princess."

Chu Chenfeng nodded. He naturally knew what Qingyu meant. "What is it?"

Xing Yi shook his head and said, "Should I go and invite him now?"

"Well, let's go."

Chu Chenfeng has always treated people around Li Mulan with courtesy and paid great attention to them.

When Situ Yue left, he met Qingyu again in the mansion.

Seeing this, Qingyu hurriedly took a detour, but was still stopped by Situ Yue.

"Imperial sister-in-law? It's really you, I didn't make a mistake." Situ Yue looked excited. After all, the early death of the Crown Princess of Northern Qi was a well-known fact.

But now, his imperial sister-in-law is still alive and well, and in Da Chu, which makes people think more.

"Third Prince, you have recognized the wrong person."

Situ Yue looked arrogant, "Whether I recognized the wrong person or not, I know it in my heart, and the Queen's sister-in-law knows it in her heart too. Why are you in Da Chu, and why are you in the Regent's Palace?"

Qingyu's face was cold, "My daughter said that the Third Prince recognized the wrong person. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Seeing that she was angry and spoke in a harsh way, Situ Yue was not annoyed at all, "Don't be angry, sister-in-law. Everyone knows what happened back then. My brother attacked your father, the General Zhenbei, just to get half of the military power. Your father and brother all died under his scheme. So I understand why you hate him."

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Situ Yue continued, "You also know that I have been fighting with Situ Lian for so many years. Perhaps you can consider cooperating with me. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. What do you think?"
