My Naughty Princess Consort

Chapter 14 - First Return After Marriage

In a flash, it was the next day. Qian Jiujiu woke up very early in the morning on the day she returned home after marriage. 

As for the initial memory of the original owner, Qian Jiujiu had thought about it a few times, hence, nothing would possibly go amiss. With that in mind, she paced out in the company of Hong Ling. 

Nan Feng was standing by the side. “Greetings to the Princess Consort. His Highness ordered me to escort you back.” 

Qian Jiujiu let out a smile. “It’s very kind of His Highness. Let’s get going then.” 

Once they reached the main entrance, they realized that the butler had already placed the gifts in the carriage, waiting for their departure. 

Seeing that Qian Jiujiu was approaching him, the butler bowed to show his respect. “Greetings to the Princess Consort from your humble servant. Everything is ready now. Please pardon me for adding on. Remember that your current identity is Princess Consort.” 

As the butler was saying that, he spared a glance at Hong Ling. “Hong Ling, remember not to let the Princess Consort feel aggrieved. If not, it will make the Xiao Manor lose reputation.” 

Listening to that remark, Qian Jiujiu glanced at the butler for she was clear that the words mentioned were actually directed toward her. She could not help but feel a little annoyed. 

Do I look like someone who is easily being bullied? However, the original owner was in fact like that. Without further ado, Qian Jiujiu rode on the carriage, heading toward the Qian Manor. 

Inside the Qian Manor, everything was as usual where things needed to be done were done, appearing as though they had forgotten about their daughter being married off. 

Of course, someone could still remember this matter and that person was none other than the legitimate Eldest Young Lady of the Qian family, Qian Yuge, the most talented and prettiest lady in the capital city. 

Qian Yuge was accompanying her mother to pay a visit to her great-grandmother. Just as they were about to reach her great-grandmother’s courtyard, Qian Yuge opened her mouth. 

“Mother, isn’t today the day where the love child will return for the first time after marriage? Have we done our preparation?” 

First return after marriage? Qian Yuge’s mother, Madam Qian sneered as she said, “I’ll prepare well for it.” 

Upon hearing that her mother had done her preparation, Qian Yuge’s curiosity was piqued. “Mother, do you think she will return home? Hasn’t Lord Xiao being cursed to death by her? Didn’t you say that she brings bad luck?”

Madam Qian cast a glance at Qian Yuge before saying, “Yuge, you don’t have to care too much about them. One is a handicapped person while another is someone who brings bad luck. Both are individuals with tough lives. It seems rather interesting to match them together.”  

While speaking, they had arrived at Old Madam Qian’s courtyard, hence, both of them walked in. 

“Greetings to Mom from your daughter-in-law.”

“Greetings to great-grandmother from your granddaughter.”

Old Madam Qian who was seated high above grinned from ear to ear as she welcomed their presence. “Get up, we are family members. Don’t have to pay such respect.” 

Both the mother and daughter rose to their feet and sat down. As they started chatting, someone came to report outside the door. 

“Old Madam, Eldest Young Lady is here to pay her first visit after marriage.” 

Old Madam furrowed her brow as she sneered. “Who is this Eldest Young Lady? How dare the b*stard return home? 

Upon witnessing the furious expression on the Old Madam’s face, both Qian Yuge and her mother exchanged glances with each other. Just then, Madam Qian stood up. “Mother, since she is back.”

“Let’s allow her to enter. It’s rather inappropriate to let her stand outside the main entrance.” 

Old Madam Qian gave it a thought. Even though she was unhappy, she commanded the person to inform her, “Invite that person in.” 

Once Qian Jiujiu’s carriage arrived at the Qian Manor, it was blocked by the main entrance. Besides, no one was present to welcome her return. 

Qian Jiujiu’s eyes squinted. These people from the Qian family are audacious or rather foolish, to be exact? 

Peeking a glance at Hong Ling, she uttered, “Hong Ling, call for someone.” 

Hong Ling strode forward, walking toward a pageboy at the entrance. “What are you waiting for? Quickly inform about the return of the Princess Consort. Today is the first return of our Princess Consort after marriage. How come no one is here to welcome her in?” 

Swiftly, the pageboy who went to inform the return of the Princess Consort came back. He then spoke in the direction of the carriage, “Princess Consort, kindly make your way in. Old Madam is awaiting your presence.”
