Chapter 146: The Vicious Eldest Daughter (11)

Wen Wan nodded to Ye Nanfeng, "My sister and I have some private matters to discuss. Could you please leave for a moment, Young Master Ye?"

Ye Nanfeng: "Of course, I'll go wander around somewhere else."

After Ye Nanfeng left, Wen Wan sat down in the seat he had just been in. Chu Sisi was a little nervous, but it wasn't just Chu Sisi who was nervous; Wen Wan was almost dying of nervousness too.

"Doesn't Sisi have anything to say?"

Chu Sisi looked at Chu Huang warily.

“If word gets out that you ran away from your wedding night, the entire Prime Minister’s mansion will be dragged down with you! That could include your sick mother and your young brother. If it weren’t for me, your mother and brother would have died eight hundred times over.”

When Aunt Xin and her younger brother were mentioned, Chu Sisi's expression changed. She had accidentally discovered the secret of the jade pendant on the eve of her wedding, which led her to open the spiritual spring space. She no longer wanted to marry Gu Xi, that sickly man who killed without hesitation.

She had planned to leave with her mother and younger brother so that the Prime Minister's mansion would never find them, but they were still found. She was able to hide in the spiritual spring space and watch helplessly as her mother and younger brother were captured and taken back.

She hadn't left this place during this time, constantly worried about the safety of her mother and younger brother. She had originally planned to take them away during the chaos at the Prime Minister's residence, but Chu Huang became the Princess Consort of Xi instead of running away from the marriage. The Prince of Xi didn't cause any trouble for the Prime Minister's residence either, and nothing ever happened.

During this time, she hid her tracks using the spiritual spring space and coincidentally saved Ye Nanfeng. She then thought of asking Ye Nanfeng to help her rescue her mother and younger brother. Who would have thought that she would run into Chu Huang by such a coincidence.

"I never wanted to marry Prince Xi, you forced me to," Chu Sisi said. This family is no good, they are all bloodsucking and vicious.

"What's the use of saying all this? My mother wants to kill Consort Xin anytime, anywhere. What can you do? Aren't you stupid? If you were the Princess Consort of Xi, even the Prime Minister would have to bow to you. Saving Consort Xin wouldn't be a simple matter."

If you had simply settled into being the Princess Consort of Xi, she would have already completed half of her mission.

It's still the same there.

"Since being the Princess Consort of Xi is so good, why don't you want to marry her in her place? It's true, the former Prince Xi was a favored son of heaven, but the current Prince Xi is disfigured and won't live for more than three years. Of course, the Prime Minister's Mansion can't bear to let you marry into that family. I am clearly his daughter, and Xiao Qi is his own son."

Wen Wan said with a smile, "Who made my mother the daughter of the Empress Dowager's niece? Your mother was just a washerwoman."

Inner monologue: So why do you still have any expectations for that trashy father, heroine? He's just a high-class phoenix man (a man from a poor background who achieves success through hardship).

She was also giving the female lead a heads-up, telling her not to have any expectations of fatherly love.

Chu Sisi was filled with hatred. "So you came to me just to belittle my mother and me?"

Wen Wan: "Am I free?"

Chu Sisi: "..."

"I heard you cured your mother and brother's illnesses? You know medicine?"

Chu Sisi was a little nervous. The jade pendant was her greatest reliance and secret. If it were discovered, she would never be able to rescue her mother and brother, nor would she be able to take revenge on Madam Chu, and she would never be able to live a good life.

"Go and treat Prince Xi's injuries. If you heal him, I will have my mother release your younger brother and Aunt Xin, and I promise I will not cause you any more trouble."

Chu Sisi did not believe Chu Huang.

Wen Wan continued, "Anyway, the whole world knows I'm the Princess Consort of Xi now. Taking you back to marry in my place won't change the outcome. I don't want to be a widow. Besides, you don't need to worry about my mother. If you cure Prince Xi, my mother will naturally release your family."

Now that the reasoning has been explained, let's move on to the final step.

Wen Wan stood up and slammed her hand on the table, revealing her fiercest expression. "Do you have any other choice? Otherwise, I'll send a message right away and have my mother take action."

Chu Sisi: "No."

"If you are cured, everything can be discussed. If you are not cured, I will kill you, including your mother and brother."

In the end, Chu Sisi was forced to agree, and Wen Wan hid her stinging hands in her sleeves.

"You're smart to know what's good for you."

After instructing Chu Sisi to prepare for her visit to the Prince Xi's residence the next day, Wen Wan prepared to leave, only to encounter Ye Nanfeng walking towards her.

"Sister Chu, what's wrong?"

His eyes are red and swollen. Wasn't he chatting with Sisi?

However, when Ye Nanfeng looked at the woman in front of him, her eyes were red, which made her face look even more radiant. She probably didn't notice that countless diners around her were unconsciously looking at her.

"fine."

Wen Wan walked past Ye Nanfeng and left, glancing at her palm. "Damn, that hurts so much! System, hurry up!"

System: [Host, please don't use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, okay? Just rest for two minutes.]

Is the host really that delicate? It was just a tap on the table.

This kind of cheat code must not be used when one is critically injured or on the verge of death.

"Hurry up, I'm doing this for you, don't you have any conscience? And whose fault is this? If you hadn't failed to uncover the female lead's plan to elope, would I be doing this?"

system:【……】

Fine, they're in the wrong.

It shielded its host from that tiny, insignificant pain.

[The mission is progressing smoothly. Once the female lead goes to help the male lead get treatment, they're bound to develop feelings for each other. You'll play the role of a wicked, scheming supporting character, understand?]

Wen Wan nodded.

"I understand, but are you sure you want me to die early? To have a substitute puppet take the blame for being turned into a human pig and tested on drugs?"

System: [Of course, our Transmigration Bureau is host-centric.]

Wen Wan returned to the private room.

Gu Xi was leisurely drinking tea, occasionally coughing twice. "The Princess Consort is back? It's getting late, shall we go back?"

Wen Wan asked the system, "Has the male lead done nothing in the past half hour?"

System: [The task has likely been completed, but it's unimportant and irrelevant to the host's mission.]

This restaurant is one of the male protagonist's businesses, so he came here specifically to pick up some secret contacts.

Wen Wan knew that the male lead could not possibly drink tea for half an hour.

Back at the Prince's residence, Wen Wan asked Chunye to help her pack her things before taking a bath and going to bed. The Prince also returned home. The two had been living separately, but no one found it strange.

After all, the prince was so ill, and even the imperial physician said he needed to rest, so naturally, he couldn't engage in any intimate acts. Wen Wan, however, knew that this was the work of the god of plot; the male lead was to remain chaste for the sake of the female lead.

...

The next morning, the housekeeper came to tell her that Chu Sisi had arrived.

"The princess's younger sister, Miss Chu Sisi, is waiting outside the door."

"Let her in."

Little Peach didn't know why Miss Sisi had come looking for her. After all, she knew about what had happened back then. Chu Sisi had run away from her arranged marriage, forcing her young lady to marry Prince Xi. Although she hadn't suffered any grievances in Prince Xi's mansion, the thought of Prince Xi's impending death and her young lady having to be a widow made Little Peach furious.

Little Lucky Star had never met this concubine's daughter from the Prime Minister's mansion, but judging from Sister Peach's expression, he knew that this person was definitely not likable. After all, Sister Peach was such a kind person that she rarely disliked anyone.

Wen Wan soon met Chu Sisi.

And whether it was Wen Wan's imagination or not, Chu Sisi seemed a little prettier than when she met her last night. However, the female lead was originally a beauty, and this spiritual spring space was filled with top-grade medicines and hot spring water that could cure all diseases. Soaking in it for detoxification and beauty enhancement was just a basic operation.

Wen Wan looked at the steward who hadn't left yet, "Is the Prince here?"

"The doctor is examining the prince. He caught a chill last night, and his condition has worsened."

Wen Yan: "..."

You're not going to say you were just bragging about going to the night market with her, are you?

"What did the doctor say? How can this doctor be so useless? The prince's health is getting worse and worse with treatment. Should we change doctors?"

Butler: "Your Highness, you may not know, but that was a royal physician bestowed by the Emperor to specially treat Your Highness's health."

"What's wrong with imperial physicians? If they can't cure the illness, they're quacks."

housekeeper:"……"

"It just so happens that my sister also knows a little about medicine, so let her go and take a look at the prince." Wen Wan didn't want to beat around the bush, and she didn't care whether the male lead would suspect her because of this. Anyway, she didn't want to be trapped in this prince's mansion any longer.

Anyway, she's bringing the male lead his wife here, so he should give her a "good wingman" award.

The butler hesitated, "This..."

"Sisi, you need to prove your medical skills first, otherwise the housekeeper won't believe you."

Chu Sisi: "..."

Is Chu Huang an idiot?

Was the Chu Huang of the past really this stupid? She originally thought that since the Chu Huang had come to her, she would at least have given her a reason, but this is what happened?

She relies on the spiritual spring space, but she herself doesn't know anything about medicine. How can she prove that?

"Is anyone in our household sick?"

Butler: "Yes, we do. If Your Highness needs it, I can fetch the person."

"Go and bring them all over."

Soon the steward brought over four or five servants and then introduced them to his situation.

One is blind, one is unable to walk, one has lung problems, one is poisoned, and another was bitten by a hunting dog, probably with rabies.

"Steward, is this Prince's mansion really that dangerous?" You can find all sorts of patients here so easily.

The housekeeper didn't know how to respond.

"Alright, Sisi, you can start now."

Chu Sisi: "..."

“Your Highness, I need a completely quiet environment to treat my illness, but there is no prohibition against having outsiders present.”

Wen Wan immediately agreed, "Okay, housekeeper, find her a quiet room, and get her whatever she wants."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The housekeeper quickly made arrangements and took Chu Sisi away.

Little Peach asked, puzzled, "Your Highness, when did Miss Sisi learn medicine?"

"The last time I saw her, I witnessed her saving someone."

"But even the imperial physicians couldn't do anything. Even if Miss Sisi is skilled in medicine, surely she can't be more capable than the imperial physicians?"

"So what? If she can't be cured, she's doomed. If she is cured, it's not a bad thing for me."

"So the princess wanted to kill her? She deserved it, she's no pity to die."

Wen Wan looked at Xiao Taozi. At other times, she was a fairy, but when it came to the female lead, she was the henchman of the vicious female supporting character Chu Huang. This was simply outrageous.

Little Lucky Star next to him was stunned.

Chunye remained as calm as ever.

Wen Wan was playing with gold ingots in her courtyard. About two hours later, the steward returned with Chu Sisi.

"Is it cured?"

The butler looked somewhat agitated and quickly explained the situation to Wen Wan.

Unexpectedly, the female lead's cheat ability is indeed the strongest cheat ability. She has been blind for more than ten years, but she can see faintly again. It is estimated that she will be cured after a few more treatments. Her lung disease has also improved a bit, and she has regained feeling in her leg that was unable to walk. Although she still cannot stand up, she has also recovered a lot from being bitten by a dog.

Good heavens, this is truly amazing! Even Hua Tuo himself couldn't have done this, right?

"System, look at other people's cheat codes, aren't you ashamed? Shouldn't you reflect on your own?"
