Chapter 295 The Top Scholar 2

Luo Bichi breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that nothing had happened. After lunch, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her heart and it took her a while to recover.

She had planned to take a nap, but as soon as she lay down on the bed, she had a dream that woke her up in excruciating pain.

Could it be that her cousin in her dream hurt her too much, causing her heart pain?

"Thank you for your help, doctor."

The physician wrote out a prescription, handed it to Luo Bichi's maid, and then left with his medicine box.

"Miss, I'm going out to buy medicine."

Luo Bichi nodded: "Go ahead. By the way, didn't the princess send anyone over today?"

Several maids shook their heads in unison, "No."

Luo Bichi pondered. In the past, whenever she called for a doctor, the princess would send some precious medicinal herbs. Why didn't she send any today?

"Could it be that the princess is taking a nap and doesn't know that Miss has called a doctor again?"

Luo Bichi's eyes lit up. It was indeed possible. Even though she had only been in the manor for a short time, she knew that the princess took a nap every day. And when she called the doctor, it was during the princess's nap time, so she was relieved.

"Once the princess wakes up, find a way to let her know that I called a doctor."

The two maids looked at each other, but in the end they obeyed the order.

The two maids beside her were brought from home and were extremely loyal to her; they would never reveal any instructions she gave them.

In the evening, Pei Chengyuan returned from the Hanlin Academy and immediately asked where the princess was as soon as he entered the courtyard.

"The princess is reading a storybook in the study."

Pei Chengyuan took the roast duck he had just bought from Jueweilou and headed straight for the study.

"Yan'er, look what your husband bought back?"

Ning Yan glanced at the oil paper package in his hand. What else could it be but some food? Did she need it?

"What? Let me see!"

Pei Chengyuan smiled and opened the package. "I specially went to Jue Wei Lou to queue up and buy this. Want to try it?"

Ning Yan looked disappointed. "I don't have a good appetite today. I can't eat such greasy food."

Pei Chengyuan's expression stiffened. "Then what do you want to eat?"

"I don't want to eat anything. However, I heard that Jin Yu Man Tang has a lot of new jewelry. My consort, please accompany me to take a look tomorrow."

"But I have to go to the yamen tomorrow."

Ning Yan immediately straightened her face. "Never mind then, I'll go myself." With that, she threw down the storybook and left the study.

Pei Chengyuan: ...No, did someone offend the princess today? Otherwise, why would she suddenly give him the cold shoulder?

The two ate dinner in unusual quiet. Pei Chengyuan wanted to speak several times, but seeing that the princess didn't want to talk, he held back.

After dinner, Pei Chengyuan called Wan Zi out and asked, "What did the princess do in the manor today? Did someone foolishly anger her?"

Wan Zi had already received instructions, so she told him everything about Luo Bichi hiring a doctor.

Pei Chengyuan was overthinking things. The princess had already lowered her guard against her cousin before, so why did she suddenly change her expression today?

Could it be that my cousin went too far and offended the princess?

"Go back now and serve the princess well. If she asks anything, just tell her I'm going to Chunying Courtyard and will be back soon."

Wan Zi: "Yes. Take care, Your Highness."

Pei Chengyuan rushed to Chunying Courtyard. He had heard Wan Zi say that it was so serious, but when he saw Luo Bichi, she looked very healthy and did not look sick at all.

"Cousin, you've arrived. Please sit down. Have you had dinner yet? I'll have the maid tell the kitchen to prepare some food."

"No need, don't bother, I just came to see you."

I heard you invited the royal physician again today?

Speaking of this, Luo Bichi was furious. The princess hadn't even brought her any medicine today, making her wait for ages. "Yes, after lunch, my heart started to feel uncomfortable, so I specially invited the palace physician, but the princess didn't even come to take a look. Does she have a problem with me living in the palace? Maybe I should move out."

She came from a merchant family, and her family was quite wealthy. She wouldn't have gotten involved with her cousin if it weren't for wanting to change her social status.

Moreover, my cousin's family was poor. If it weren't for their family spending a lot of money to help him, would he be as successful as he is today?

Therefore, she has a valid reason to pester him!

Pei Chengyuan wanted to scold her, but when he heard her say she wanted to move out, he could only quickly stop her, "Don't talk nonsense. You came to me for help, how can I let you live alone outside?"

And don't you even know who you are, that you dare to make a princess trespass on your lowly land and come to see you in person?

The princess was kind to you before only because she was giving me face. She might give you that face if she wanted to, but she doesn't want to and still wants to find fault with you. Does she not care about her life?

“Cousin, you should understand my thoughts. Moreover, when my father sponsored you to go to the capital for the imperial examination, my aunt also said that as long as you pass the exam, she will definitely return to the hometown to marry me.”

But now that you've become the prince consort, are you going to throw me aside?

Pei Chengyuan immediately rebuked him: "I told you long ago that I had no idea what my mother had promised back then, which is why I agreed to the Emperor's bestowed marriage after arriving in the capital."

If you continue to spout nonsense, be careful what you say, or I won't be able to help you!

Luo Bichi wasn't afraid at all. There were no outsiders here, so who would be foolish enough to tell her what she had said?

"Okay, I won't say anything then."

She outwardly agreed, but inwardly she had other plans. If her cousin didn't want to marry her, she would force him to!

...

After leaving Chunying Courtyard, Pei Chengyuan returned to the main courtyard.

Wan Zi stood guard at the door, preventing Pei Chengyuan from entering.

"Your Highness, the princess has already rested. You should return to the front courtyard tonight."

Pei Chengyuan used to be quite happy to hear this, but today, hearing it gave him a bad feeling.

But he couldn't disobey the princess. Marrying a princess wasn't like getting married. You could only come if the princess wanted to sleep with you. If the princess didn't want to sleep with you, you had to get the hell out of there!

Wan Zi watched him leave, then instructed the servants to close the courtyard gate before returning to her room.

"My lord, the prince consort has left."

Ning Yan didn't react.

Pei Chengyuan and the original owner of this body have been married for three and a half months, and the original owner is still a virgin.

The two would share a bed for ten days each month, because Pei Chengyuan always had an excuse to sleep in the study.

Moreover, he never touched the original owner. The original owner had not received premarital sex education. The nanny who taught her was arranged by their people, and the conversation would end when they turned off the lights and went to bed.

The original owner always believed that the two of them could have a child by lying in the same bed.

Even when she caught them in adultery, all she saw was the prince consort and Luo Bichi sleeping in the same bed and having physical contact (Luo Bichi's arm was on Pei Chengyuan's shoulder). Therefore, she was a virgin until her death in her previous life.

"Send someone to keep an eye on the prince consort and see who he usually meets?"

Wan Zi agreed, then summoned her secret guards, who immediately obeyed and left.

The original owner was the only legitimate daughter of the current emperor. She was pampered from childhood. After she got married, the emperor gave her two secret guards, just in case she was bullied by her husband.

There was a power outage at home yesterday, so I didn't write anything. I only have two chapters today, sorry.
