Chapter 72: Loving husband and go back home to recuperate
3rd Aunt doesnât really like this niece of her, but now that she had a good talk with Lin Chujiu, plus her current ident.i.ty as Princess Xiao, she couldnât help but feel satisfied even though she was still feeling a bit unhappy.
After all, both of them can still remember theyâre unhappy past relations.h.i.+p. After some pleasantries, 3rd Aunt finally showed up her gifts: âWhen 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.â
âSan Jiuju is truly kind.â Lin Chujiu raised her hand for Zhenzhu to came forward and take the giftâs list.
Lin Chujiu doesnât really care about her 3rd Uncleâs gifts. After all, the original owner of the body doesnât really have a good impression to her cheap Uncle and she canât even remember his face.
When 3rd Aunt saw that the Xiao w.a.n.gfuâs maidservant was reading the giftâs list, her face changed in color but didnât dare to reveal her shocked. They should have prepared more expensive things to make a good impression to Xiao w.a.n.gfu. 3rd Aunt secretly felt regret, if she only learned a little earlier that Lin Chujiuâs status in Xiao w.a.n.gfu is high, then she should have brought more expensive things, no⦠⦠she should have visited her more early.
Seeing her 3rd sister-in-lawâs facial expression, Lin Furen couldnât 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 shouldnât 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: âChujiu, I heard Prince Xiao had invited Divine Doctor Mo to diagnose your disease. So, how is it?â
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?
âDoctor Mo was still diagnosing me when Yiniang came, so he hasnât finished checking my condition.â Lin Chujiu deliberately made Lin Furenâs 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 s.l.u.t is still threatening me?
Lin Furenâs face still looked the same, but she couldnât help but clenched her fist while asking: âThen, what did the other doctors said?â Lin Chujiu was able to found out about it, so why would those doctorâs canât.
âThe other doctors only said that my body is weak, but Iâll get better soon. However, as for their actual diagnosis, their only reporting it to w.a.n.gye. If Yiniang still wants to know about it, you can ask w.a.n.gye. w.a.n.gye wants me to feel at ease, so he said that I donât need to worry about such stuff and only want me to focus in nouris.h.i.+ng back my body.â While speaking the last part, Lin Chujiu tried to lower her head in shyness.
Hearing this, Lin Chujiuâs four maidservantâs lips couldnât help but twitch: Is it really okay for w.a.n.gfei to lie this?
Should they report such words to Prince Xiao?
âHearing this, I felt relieved.â Lin Furenâs 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⦠â¦
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 girlâs dream. However, for Lin Furen, such words only made her mind in chaos.
âw.a.n.gye is really good to me, so in these past two weeks, I was already feeling better. Yiniang doesnât really need to worry about me.â Lin Chujiu added with a smile.
Lin Wanting doesnât really like this kind of talk. She couldnât 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.
âJiejie, why wouldnât Niang (Mother) worry about you? Didnât 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.â Lin Wanting tried to say for her mother
âYiniang got sick? Then, why you didnât send someone to inform me ah⦠â¦â Lin Chujiu tried to say with exaggeration, then added: âSomeone 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!â
Actually, Lin Chujiu didnât see any millennium ginseng to her dowry. She only saw a ginseng that is soaked with a poisonous drug.
But, Lin Chujiu doesnât really care about that.
âNo, I am already feeling well, so you donât need to give it to me. Just use it to nourish back your body.â Lin Furen immediately refuse. After all, she knows very well that it is not good for the body.
âYiniang are you joking? Xiao w.a.n.gfu is not lacking in ginseng. And besides, didnât Yiniang specifically looked for it because itâs really good? So now that your body needs it, you should use it.â Lin Chujiu didnât give Lin Furen an opportunity to refuse, so she continue to say: âWanting, tell Yiniang that sheâs being unreasonable. Oh, I think itâs better if Doctor Mo will check her condition. Doctor Moâs medical skill is extraordinary, he could teach her how to take that millennium ginseng properly.â
âNo, no, I know w.a.n.gfei is truly kind, but it was only a minor illness, so we donât need to bother someone like Divine Doctor Mo.â 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 embarra.s.sed.
Who is Divine Doctor Mo anyway? He is one of the four Divine Doctor in this world. Thatâs 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 sheâs still an unfilial daughter. Thereâs nothing new about that. However, they havenât started their plan yet, but Lin Chujiu already blocked their plan and they cannot think another plan.
3rd Aunt knew Lin Furenâs plan, so seeing her being cornered, she couldnât 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 Wantingâs face suddenly turn blue then white. Why? Because things are not the same like before. Before, with Lin Chujiuâs bad temper, she always end up embarra.s.sing herself.
In the past, she and Lin Chujiu are both parts of younger generation. But now, sheâs still part of it but Lin Chujiu is now part of Xiao w.a.n.gfu. Lin Chujiu can even be on par with her mother and 3rd Auntâs words.
Is this the benefit of marriage?
Lin Wantingâs cheeks turn rosy and her eyes become very pa.s.sionate. In the end, she doesnât know what exactly to think about⦠â¦
*
Inside the study room, when Xiao Tianyao heard Lin Xiangâs words, he couldnât help but sneer loudly: âLin Xiang, are you saying that you will take benw.a.n.gâs w.a.n.gfei back to your house to recuperate?â
Does this old man want to play with me?
Then, letâs see if you have the ability!
âYes, 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 donât think she really can recuperate properly in Xiao w.a.n.gfu. Sow.a.n.gye, please let me take back my daughter to recuperate.âLin Xiangâs face looks very kind, as if heâs really a good father to his daughter, but⦠â¦
Lin Chujiu was fed by a slow-acting poison for almost ten years. So with that, is Lin Xiang really a good father?
