Su Ningxin sat in front of the dressing table and put on makeup, not to make her look more beautiful, but to make her face pale and her lips bloodless, making her look seriously ill.
After all, she had always been unable to leave the courtyard claiming to be sick, and now she couldn't get better immediately. Moreover, if she didn't become more seriously ill, the old princess would definitely find fault with her.
"Are you ready?" Chu Jihan turned around and asked after packing himself up. He was startled when he saw Su Ningxin's pale look.
"Let's go." Su Ningxin rolled her eyes. Chu Jihan's reaction was not all his fault. If she hadn't been tricked into marrying him, she wouldn't have had to face so many troubles.
Chu Jihan knew what Su Ningxin was thinking, and immediately felt guilty. He asked Lian Sheng to arrange a small sedan to carry them there. Anyway, they were both frail and sick, so it was very necessary.
When the two of them arrived at the princess's courtyard, they found that the old princess was already waiting at the main seat.
Su Ningxin stuck out her tongue secretly and thought to herself, "Who are you going to talk to for excuses? People who want to cause trouble for you are always harder working than you and walk faster than you."]
Her complaints were indeed justified, because the old princess was still in her yard when she was sent to call her over. Su Ningxin dressed up very quickly, but she was slower than the old princess, who had bad legs and feet. Even if you don’t mean to cause trouble, you won’t believe it.
"Your Majesty, you have such a big air. You have to wait for me to greet you before you come to see your father-in-law." The old lady sitting on the main seat said coldly, with a serious expression. Somewhat mean.
[Come, come, come as expected.]Su Ningxin thought silently and took a deep breath, "Respect the old and love the young, respect the old and love the young. I am a cultured person and I am not as knowledgeable as the old witch."]
In her heart, she wanted to scold the old princess's ancestors a hundred and eighty times, but on her face, Su Ningxin was very respectful and said weakly, "Ahem, cough, cough, Ning'er has seen her grandmother. She has been in poor health the past few days. It's Ning'er's fault that she was bedridden and couldn't get up and kept her waiting for a long time."
While talking, Su Ningxin thought to herself, [Chu Jihan, if you have some discernment, you must catch me.]
Chu Jihan, who was looking at Su Ningxin, was still wondering what she meant. When he saw Su Ningxin closed her eyes and acted as if she had fainted, she fell towards him. Chu Jihan subconsciously reached out to catch her. Su Ningxin finally understood what Su Ningxin was thinking.
You do believe me, Chu Jihan thought to himself. Su Ningxin didn't know that he could read minds, so she didn't discuss it with him in advance. If he reacted too slowly and couldn't catch it, Su Ningxin would just fall to the ground. He fell to the ground and was bleeding.
Su Ningxin's strategy of fainting when she didn't agree with her words directly confused the old princess and the princess. The old princess had no preference or dislike for her grandson's daughter-in-law, but she had to knock her out for her dignity in the palace. , didn’t expect this and immediately fainted.
The princess standing aside was also shocked. She always thought that Su Ningxin's excuse for being seriously ill was to avoid the emperor who came to Daming Mansion. Now seeing Su Ningxin's face and fainting condition, she doubted her judgment. Could it be that Are you really sick
The princess was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Hurry up and put Ning'er on the couch to rest. Hong Ni will call the doctor."
At this time, the prince in her hand was recuperating on the bed in the princess's inner room, so Su Ningxin could only rest on the soft couch in the outer room. Fortunately, the doctor from the prince's resting house had been waiting in the side room, so he came over soon. .
Su Ningxin's medical skills were pretty good, and it was easy to deceive the doctors in the county prince's palace. So after diagnosing her pulse, the doctor came to the conclusion that Su Ningxin's disease had been present since she was a child. She could only take good care of her, but there was no way to eradicate it. There is no rule about when the disease will occur.
When the old princess heard this, she said in a bad tone, "There is already a sick man in the house. I didn't expect to marry another sick man. I don't know what he will do."
The sick man the old princess was talking about was naturally Chu Jihan. These words made the princess and Prince An in the inner chamber look bad, but they were elders after all, so they couldn't say anything.
The princess was not angry, but she couldn't show any disgust to her mother-in-law, so she could only cover her face with her hand to prevent others from seeing her.
When the old princess saw her actions, she didn't think that way. Instead, she was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's not easy for you to be pregnant. Sit down and rest. Don't be exhausted."
She didn't care about the princess, but thought that the princess covered her mouth because she felt uncomfortable. Her granddaughter-in-law had already fainted. If her daughter-in-law also fainted from exhaustion, she might become famous, so she didn't dare to be too harsh on the princess. Harsh.
The princess was pregnant, but when Su Ningxin entered the room, she was standing next to the old princess without even a seat. From this, we can see the old princess's attitude towards the princess.
The relationship between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has never been good, and even the old princess doesn't like Chu Jihan's grandson.
Speaking of the reason why the old princess did not like the princess, it was also very speechless. At first, the old princess always wanted to marry her niece to Prince An, but because the princess had a good background, the old prince directly asked the emperor to grant the marriage, so that The old princess's plan failed.
Later, the old princess had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and marry her niece to her second son. Although it was her biological son, the old princess always felt that her niece was close to her, and she had no idea what was going on in her mind.
After her niece married her second son, she began to alienate her eldest son. She even wanted to help the second son become the eldest son and inherit the title of the old prince in the future. Naturally, it failed in the end. The old prince was not so confused as to let the old princess do whatever she wanted.
But the old princess was so unreasonable. She felt that her failure was plotted by the princess. If she said anything bad in front of the old prince, she regarded the princess as a thorn in her side. The princess was not someone who could be manipulated. The two of them were like this. To Maimang for more than twenty years.
Generally speaking, the princess suffered more. After all, the old princess was the elder. The word "filial piety" made the princess unable to hold her head up.
But the princess is not always angry. Although she can't do anything to the old princess, when she is angry, she will suppress the old princess's natal family and Prince An's brother's family to take out her anger, which makes the old princess jump with anger.
When Su Ningxin was unconscious, Chu Jihan went into the inner room to see the prince's injury. Fortunately, it was not serious. Although he was stabbed by a sword, the vital part was avoided, which made Chu Jihan feel relieved.
After making sure his father was fine, Chu Jihan couldn't bear to deal with his grandmother, so he made an excuse and left with the comatose Su Ningxin in his arms.
Su Ningxin woke up as soon as she returned to the sedan, and said dissatisfiedly, "How long will your grandmother stay in the house, and when will she leave?"
Chu Jihan shrugged, "I don't know. According to the custom, if there is a concubine for ten days and eight days, she will be angry and run away."
