Chapter 72: Loving husband and go back home to recuperate
3rd Aunt doesn’t really like this niece of her, but now that she had a good talk with Lin Chujiu, plus her current identity as Princess Xiao, she couldn’t help but feel satisfied even though she was still feeling a bit unhappy.
After all, both of them can still remember they’re unhappy past relationship. After some pleasantries, 3rd Aunt finally showed up her gifts: “When your San Jiuju (3rd maternal uncle) heard that you were seriously sick, he immediately went to our treasury to dig out some good things to be sent here when we visit.”
“San Jiuju is truly kind.” Lin Chujiu raised her hand for Zhenzhu to came forward and take the gift’s list.
Lin Chujiu doesn’t really care about her 3rd Uncle’s gifts. After all, the original owner of the body doesn’t really have a good impression to her cheap Uncle and she can’t even remember his face.
When 3rd Aunt saw that the Xiao Wangfu’s maidservant was reading the gift’s list, her face changed in color but didn’t dare to reveal her shocked. They should have prepared more expensive things to make a good impression to Xiao Wangfu. 3rd Aunt secretly felt regret, if she only learned a little earlier that Lin Chujiu’s status in Xiao Wangfu is high, then she should have brought more expensive things, no… … she should have visited her more early.
Seeing her 3rd sister-in-law’s facial expression, Lin Furen couldn’t help but turned her head to the side and smile with full of ridicule.
All these years, her 3rd brother only tried to do things that will benefit himself but also used Lin Xiang to do their work. So now that they saw… … Lin Chujiu seems like an unfamiliar wolf. They shouldn’t blame her, right?
Lin Furen who no longer has a high hope with her 3rd sister-in-law tried to take the initiative to change the topic: “Chujiu, I heard Prince Xiao had invited Divine Doctor Mo to diagnose your disease. So, how is it?”
Lin Furen tried to ask without panic, after all, if Prince Xiao already knows that Lin Chujiu was poison by her, then there is no reason for him to keep it a secret.
Or did he tried to keep it a secret because of two hundred and fifty thousand of gold?
Is that amount already good enough for someone like him?
“Doctor Mo was still diagnosing me when Yiniang came, so he hasn’t finished checking my condition.” Lin Chujiu deliberately made Lin Furen’s heart hang in curiosity to make her feel uneasy.
She was poisoned because of her, so she wants to see how will Lin Furen going to jump off with her own lies.
This little slut is still threatening me?
Lin Furen’s face still looked the same, but she couldn’t help but clenched her fist while asking: “Then, what did the other doctors said?” Lin Chujiu was able to found out about it, so why would those doctor’s can’t.
“The other doctors only said that my body is weak, but I’ll get better soon. However, as for their actual diagnosis, their only reporting it to Wangye. If Yiniang still wants to know about it, you can ask Wangye. Wangye wants me to feel at ease, so he said that I don’t need to worry about such stuff and only want me to focus in nourishing back my body.” While speaking the last part, Lin Chujiu tried to lower her head in shyness.
Hearing this, Lin Chujiu’s four maidservant’s lips couldn’t help but twitch: Is it really okay for Wangfei to lie this?
Should they report such words to Prince Xiao?
“Hearing this, I felt relieved.” Lin Furen’s smile on her face got more and more stiff, if things continue like this, she is not sure if she can still control her anger… …
And as for Lin Wanting and 3rd Aunt, listening to her words made their ears feel in pain. After all, to have such a loving husband is every girl’s dream. However, for Lin Furen, such words only made her mind in chaos.
“Wangye is really good to me, so in these past two weeks, I was already feeling better. Yiniang doesn’t really need to worry about me.” Lin Chujiu added with a smile.
Lin Wanting doesn’t really like this kind of talk. She couldn’t even wait to take a knife and stab Lin Chujiu on her chest. Such topic that is full of hypocrisy is not only a waste of time but also a waste of energy.
“Jiejie, why wouldn’t Niang (Mother) worry about you? Didn’t you know that when Niang heard that you were sick, Niang got so worried about you to the point where she herself got also sick in bed.” Lin Wanting tried to say for her mother
“Yiniang got sick? Then, why you didn’t send someone to inform me ah… …” Lin Chujiu tried to say with exaggeration, then added: “Someone gets my dowry… get that Millennium ginseng. Yiniang said that it was good for the body and its effect is very fast. So, hurry and bring that to my Yiniang!”
Actually, Lin Chujiu didn’t see any millennium ginseng to her dowry. She only saw a ginseng that is soaked with a poisonous drug.
But, Lin Chujiu doesn’t really care about that.
“No, I am already feeling well, so you don’t need to give it to me. Just use it to nourish back your body.” Lin Furen immediately refuse. After all, she knows very well that it is not good for the body.
“Yiniang are you joking? Xiao Wangfu is not lacking in ginseng. And besides, didn’t Yiniang specifically looked for it because it’s really good? So now that your body needs it, you should use it.” Lin Chujiu didn’t give Lin Furen an opportunity to refuse, so she continue to say: “Wanting, tell Yiniang that she’s being unreasonable. Oh, I think it’s better if Doctor Mo will check her condition. Doctor Mo’s medical skill is extraordinary, he could teach her how to take that millennium ginseng properly.”
“No, no, I know Wangfei is truly kind, but it was only a minor illness, so we don’t need to bother someone like Divine Doctor Mo.” Lin Furen almost knocked her teeth and almost cough up blood.
In fact, they were planning to forced Lin Chujiu to call Divine Doctor Mo, so that she will be embarrassed.
Who is Divine Doctor Mo anyway? He is one of the four Divine Doctor in this world. That’s why even the people from the Central Empire is looking for him to cure them.
Divine Doctor Mo will give Prince Xiao a face, but not someone like Lin Chujiu. So, if Lin Chujiu will try to call him, she will definitely lose her face.
On the contrary, if Lin Chujiu will be refused, then it only means that she’s still an unfilial daughter. There’s nothing new about that. However, they haven’t started their plan yet, but Lin Chujiu already blocked their plan and they cannot think another plan.
3rd Aunt knew Lin Furen‘s plan, so seeing her being cornered, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth because she cannot stop herself from grinning. 3rd Aunt secretly thought inside her heart: It seems this niece of mine is not really stupid!
Seeing her biological mother suffer, Lin Wanting’s face suddenly turn blue then white. Why? Because things are not the same like before. Before, with Lin Chujiu’s bad temper, she always end up embarrassing herself.
In the past, she and Lin Chujiu are both parts of younger generation. But now, she’s still part of it but Lin Chujiu is now part of Xiao Wangfu. Lin Chujiu can even be on par with her mother and 3rd Aunt’s words.
Is this the benefit of marriage?
Lin Wanting’s cheeks turn rosy and her eyes become very passionate. In the end, she doesn’t know what exactly to think about… …
*
Inside the study room, when Xiao Tianyao heard Lin Xiang’s words, he couldn’t help but sneer loudly: “Lin Xiang, are you saying that you will take benwang’s Wangfei back to your house to recuperate?”
Does this old man want to play with me?
Then, let’s see if you have the ability!
“Yes, Chujiu is the eldest daughter that I tried to spoiled for almost eighteen years. But after marriage, she seriously get ill. Even Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan cannot cure her. Because of that, I don’t think she really can recuperate properly in Xiao Wangfu. SoWangye, please let me take back my daughter to recuperate.“Lin Xiang’s face looks very kind, as if he’s really a good father to his daughter, but… …
Lin Chujiu was fed by a slow-acting poison for almost ten years. So with that, is Lin Xiang really a good father?
