Chapter 71: Yiniang and false affection

The reason why this servant risked his life to come inside and inform them, is because… …

Lin Chujiu’s parents and relatives suddenly came to visit because they heard that she is “seriously ill”.

After the servant reported, Xiao Tianyao didn’t say anything, while Lin Chujiu sighed and said: “It’s just a minor illness, so why do they need to come and visit on the same day with Divine Doctor Mo.”

Lin Family is one of the families that are working as the government officials of the palace, so surely, they heard about her case a long time ago. But, they only just came today, now that Divine Doctor Mo is here? So obviously, they want to pick a fight. Thinking about this, Lin Chujiu had a headache.

Other sick people were resting in bed, but she? She still needs to cope up with these bunch of crazy people even though she’s already feeling weak.

Lin Chujiu got a headache, so she rubbed her temples. Then, she looks at Xiao Tianyao with her pitiful looking face, hoping that he would help her blocked or sent away her so called parents and relatives because she really doesn’t want to deal with them.

Unfortunately, even though Xiao Tianyao saw her pitiful face, he just said to bring Lin Xiang to his study room. And as for Lin Chujiu’s stepmother and Aunt, he said to bring them here in this hall.

“Doctor Mo, w.a.n.gfei’s Family came to visit her, you can take a rest now. As for her disease, we can discuss it another day.” Xiao Tianyao politely said. Still, Divine Doctor Mo doesn’t want to treat Lin Chujiu, but of course, he wouldn’t say that.

Before leaving, Mo Yuer who is walking behind her father specifically looked back at Lin Chujiu. And at the same time, Lin Chujiu looked up, so she saw the look in Mo Yuer’s eyes before she complete walk away.

“Funny girl.” Lin Chujiu is sure that Mo Yuer’s eyes just look at her with full of disgust and contempt. And there is even a high sense of superiority.

Superiority?

She really cannot understand this Mo Yuer. Why is she feeling so proud of herself anyway?

Is it because of their ident.i.ty? If it is about their ident.i.ty, then she is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister of East County, while she’s only the daughter of a quack doctor. So, isn’t her ident.i.ty far superior to her?

Or is it because of her background? Well, she was given by the Emperor to be Xiao Tianyao’s w.a.n.gfei. So, she can only be his second wife if they got married later. So, what’s wrong with her?

Anyway, isn’t this Mo Yuer being too much? Her father forces Xiao Tianyao to marry her even only as a second wife. So, she shouldn’t be so proud of herself, right? Or does she think that with her beauty, she would be able to catch Xiao Tianyao’s heart?

If that is what this Mo Yuer is thinking, then Lin Chujiu had to say that she’s not worth the fun in Xiao w.a.n.gfu.

When Xiao Tianyao look at Lin Chujiu, he saw her sitting there while giggling on her own. So, he couldn’t help but shook his head and smirk because he really doesn’t know what happened to her.

Is she that scared with her parents and relatives, that’s why she turns crazy?

She’s not this timid, right?

Xia Tianyao shook his head once again, then no longer pay attention to her. He’s not interested in Lin Family, so he doesn’t want to get involved and just let Lin Chujiu solved her own predicament to her family.

Marrying a wife doesn’t guarantee that you’ll gain more power because sometimes it could be the cause of your downfall. Well, that is true… … for Xiao Tianyao, so he didn’t hesitate to send Lin Chujiu to the very back of his mansion. After all, he married the master of trouble.

Not long after Xiao Tianyao left, Lin Furen, Lin Wanting and Lin Chujiu’s 3rd Aunt were led by the servant to come inside.

So, no matter how unhappy Lin Chujiu is inside her heart, she still needs to get up and meet them: “Yiniang (Maternal Aunt/Concubine), Wanting, San Jiuniang (3rd Aunt) come inside… … please take a sit.”

“ Yiniang?” Lin Furen and Lin Chujiu’s 3rd Aunt felt surprised, so her 3rd Aunt asked: “Who are you calling Yiniang?” After all, aside from her and Lin Furen, no one else was inside.

“Of course, it is Lin Furen, my mother’s sister.” Lin Chujiu said to make things clear. So, her 3rd Aunt couldn’t help but frown. On the other hand, Lin Wanting couldn’t help but intervene, she looks at Lin Chujiu intently due to disappointment and said: “Jiejie (Eldest Sister), it’s only been a couple months since you left the house, but you already forgot to call mother, Niang (Mother)?”

Lin Wanting clutching her heart and was about to cry because of what she heard.

However, Lin Chujiu only smile: “Wanting, my meimei (younger sister), life might be strange, but how can this princess forget that Lin Furen is my mother’s sister ah? And also, in order to take care of me, she married into the Lin Family. So, calling her Yiniang is rather more intimate, right?”

Lin Chujiu’s smiling face and eyes look very sincere, so a person wouldn’t be able to find any trace of wrong in her words. But still, hearing the word “Yiniang” is very uncomfortable for Lin Wanting because it means that her mother’s ident.i.ty is only a second wife. Lin Furen herself hates it so much when someone is calling her the second wife.

But because of her habit to act gentle and virtuous, Lin Furen cannot accuse Lin Chujiu that she is wrong. So, she only bites the bullet and patted Lin Wanting’s back to ease her anger, then said to Lin Chujiu: “Chujiu, if calling me “Yiniang” is more intimate for you, you can do so.”

“Yiniang is very kind.” Lin Chujiu said and smile, her smile looks so bright and beautiful, as if her sickness was swept away: “Yiniang, San Jiuniang, hurry, come and sit here! I am really happy to see you all. I’ve been really looking forward to this day.”

Lin Chujiu said, but with such atmosphere, who wouldn’t understand that this is Lin Chujiu’s way to say that they had come very late.

The daughter or the niece is seriously ill for half a month now. But only the outsiders came to visit her at once. And as for her family? No one really came. But now that some genius came to Xiao w.a.n.gfu, they all come to visit. So, isn’t this really funny?

Although her 3rd Aunt doesn’t really like her, she also doesn’t hate her. So, when she heard Lin Chujiu’s words, she could only look at Lin Chujiu and said with a stiff smile: “Jiuniang really wanted to come sooner, but suddenly I received a letter from Laofuren (Old Madam) that she’ll be back. So, in these past few days, I’ve been very busy cleaning the house.”

“Waizumu (Maternal grandmother) will come back? What day?” In the memory of the original Lin Chujiu, her maternal relatives were only afraid of this old lady. And if it wasn’t for her, then the original Lin Chujiu wouldn’t learn proper etiquette and will just grow completely in shame.

So, with the proper guidance of this old lady, Lin Chujiu was able to save herself several times now from shame.

“She’ll be back by sixteen.” 3rd Aunt said while looking at Lin Chujiu from time to time. She noticed that ever since Lin Chujiu had married, it seems she had become sensible and no longer the arrogant lady, who only knows how to shout and complain.

“Oh, let me know once Waizumu arrives so that w.a.n.gye and I will come to visit her. I’m sure Waizumu haven’t seen w.a.n.gye.” But, will Xiao Tianyao really go with her?

Well, she helps Xiao Tianyao these past few days, so he should help her once or twice in return, right? How great would that be if he really does?

“Good, good, that’s good. Laofuren would certainly be happy once she sees you and w.a.n.gye.” When she heard Lin Chujiu’s words, the smile on her face got a bit brighter than before, while Lin Furen’s smile also showed.

They all suddenly give Lin Chujiu a face not because she becomes sensible, but because with Lin Chujiu’s words. They learned that Prince Xiao really valued her.

Whether Prince Xiao will stay powerless or not in the future, as long as he doesn’t rebel, he is still a prince and a member of the imperial family. So, they still couldn’t afford to offend him… …

Prince Xiao couldn’t get the Emperor, but how about them?
