In her previous life, Shen Yuan married Gu Jingchu, the heir of Marquis Yongning. She endured twenty years of hardship and countless grievances. It wasn't until she was on her last breath that ...
Chapter 84 Unusual
She looked at Taozi who was happily making the bed and sighed deeply.
I don’t know if Taozi is willing to change people?
Thinking about how this girl shyly showed off her plum blossom bun to him a few days ago, Shen Yuan gave up the idea of replacing her.
Forget it, I'll go ask Mr. Chen tomorrow if there is any immediate solution.
Inside the tightly closed door, Shen Yuan asked Mr. Chen worriedly.
Old Chen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his medicine had caused problems for the adults?
It shouldn't be.
Bang, bang, the door was suddenly knocked.
The medicine boy walked in with a helpless look on his face, "Young Master, Mr. Chen, please go upstairs and take a look. That person is making a fuss again."
The medicine boy was talking about Zhinu.
Chen Yuan followed Old Chen upstairs. Zhi Nu had his hands and feet tied to the bed and was struggling constantly.
Shen Yuan's eyelids twitched and he looked at Old Chen.
Old Chen snorted, "This kid wanted to run away as soon as he woke up. He ran away halfway through my treatment, which only ruined my reputation."
Zhi Nu's entire face was wrapped in white gauze, leaving only his eyes exposed. He looked at Chen Yuan with sharp eyes.
Chen Yuan glanced at him calmly and said, "It was Qingqing who entrusted you to me. I promised her that I would heal your injuries and take you in at Yuhang."
"She gave me a piece of extremely rare jade as payment for the consultation. If you leave now, you'll be letting her down."
The two words "lightly" are like a rock that stabilizes a mountain.
Zhinu gave up struggling.
Chen Yuan looked at her calmly, "You have offended the Fourth Prince. Yuhang is the only one in the entire capital that can take you in. When your face has recovered, go to Yuhang."
Zhinu's voice was hoarse, "Is this Miss Qingqing's wish?"
Shen Yuan nodded, "Yes."
Zhinu slowly closed his eyes and uttered the word "good" after a long time.
Chen Yuan immediately signaled Mr. Chen to untie the man.
She looked at Zhinu calmly and said, "Qingqing's birthday party is in two days. Do you have any message for her?"
Zhinu sat up from the bed and after a long while took out a small jade figurine from a purse close to his body.
The little man was vivid and looked exactly like Liu Qingqing.
Chen Yuan accepted the jade figurine.
Knowing that Chen Yuan was coming, Liu Qingqing, her mother Liu, and all the female members of the Duke's family were waiting outside the Duke's Mansion.
When Chen Yuan got off the carriage, she saw a group of women wrapped in silk and satin, wearing dazzling hairpins and rings.
The Duke of Huguo's Mansion was gradually declining, but people were still enjoying the flourishing flowers.
Instead, Liu Qingqing was squeezed so tightly that she could not be seen.
Liu greeted Shen Yuan with a smile, "Madam, it is truly an honor for us to be able to visit our humble residence."
Shen Yuan nodded, accepting Liu's greeting.
Liu pulled a gorgeously dressed woman behind her in front of Shen Yuan, "Madam, this is Qingqing's sister, Mianmian."
The girl named Mianmian knelt and saluted Chen Yuan, "My daughter Mianmian greets the Prime Minister's wife."
Chen Yuan just smiled without greeting. She looked at the little white rabbit-like woman behind the crowd.
She was still dressed simply, and her whole body was clean without a speck of dust.
She walked over and asked Taozi to take out the birthday gift she had prepared earlier in the morning. "I was in a hurry and couldn't choose the best one. Qingqing, please take a look and see if you like it."
Liu bit her lip lightly, her eyes brightening as she looked at the pink tourmaline headpiece in front of her.
She nodded sincerely and said, "I like it."
In an instant, jealous glances came from all directions.
Liu smiled and stepped forward. "Qingqing, why are you still standing there? Why don't you invite Madam in?"
Liu Qingqing nodded quickly, feeling a little embarrassed because she was dazzled by the headgear just now. It was so beautiful!
After Chen Yuanliu walked in quietly, Liu Mianmian's face beside Liu became extremely bad.
She complained, "Mother, look at my eldest sister. She just wants to curry favor with the Prime Minister's wife and doesn't take us seriously. When she becomes the Fourth Prince's consort, won't she trample us under her feet?"
She shook Liu's arm and continued, "Mother, you know that I have admired the Fourth Prince for a long time. You promised to make the Fourth Prince's consort mine."
Liu glared at Liu Mianmian and warned her, "Be careful with your words. Remember your mission today. You must not let the dirty affairs in the harem involve the Prime Minister's wife."
Liu Mianmian curled her lips unwillingly, "I know, I don't know why the Madam likes her, and the same goes for Grandmother. She gave her all her private treasury before she died!"
Liu was calm and composed. She glanced at Liu Mianmian and said, "Shut up."
The birthday party was quite harmonious.
Liu Qingqing poured a cup of peach blossom wine for Chen Yuan and said softly, "Sister, this peach blossom wine is made by me. It is a fruit wine that won't make you drunk. Please try it."
"Ah!" With a scream, a maid accidentally spilled a bowl of soup on Liu Qingqing.
When the maid saw that she had gotten into trouble, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.
Liu immediately started to scold, "How rude! Drag the clumsy person away and give him a beating."
"Mother, she didn't mean it. Let it go." Liu Qingqing looked at the maid being dragged away and pleaded in a low voice.
Liu raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Lightly follow the final rules of our Duke's Mansion. The Prime Minister's wife is here today. Don't let Madam make a fool of herself."
Liu bit her lip lightly and stopped talking.
Immediately, a maidservant dragged the maid away.
Liu looked at Liu Qingqing and said, "Why don't you change your clothes? How can you look so dirty?"
Shen Yuan frowned slightly, then returned to normal.
Mrs. Liu's attitude is not right.
Liu Qingqing stood up and saluted Chen Yuan, "Sister, the birthday party is almost over. Please go and wait for a while. I'll be back soon."
Shen Yuan nodded and gave her a gentle instruction.
As soon as Liu Qingqing left, Liu Mianmian came over.
She looked at Chen Yuan flatteringly, "Madam, there is a peach blossom forest in the Duke of Huguo's mansion. The peach blossoms never fade all year round. Madam, would you like to go and see it?"
This is to get her away.
Chen Yuan nodded, whispered something to Taozi as he stood up and left, then left with Liu Mianmian.
"Miss Liu seems absent-minded." Shen Yuan's cold voice sounded.
Liu Mianmian exclaimed "Ah" and quickly apologized to Shen Yuan after realizing that she had lost her composure.
"Please forgive me, Madam. I was just distracted for a moment."
Liu Mianmian looked absent-minded.
At this moment, her heart had already flown to Liu Qingqing.
She couldn't wait to see how that bitch Liu Qingqing would make a fool of herself.
Didn't she want to marry the Fourth Prince? Once she became a slut, she would have no choice but to marry her cousin, that silver demon pig!
"I just drank some fruit wine and I feel a little tired now. I want to take a rest in the peach forest. Miss Liu Er can go first. I can ask Miss Qingqing to come find me later."
After hearing Chen Yuan's words, a smile immediately appeared on Liu Mianmian's face.
She hurriedly greeted Chen Yuan and walked out of the peach forest without looking back.
As soon as she left, Shen Yuan's face immediately darkened.
Liu Qingqing returned to her yard, but found that it was empty.
She looked at the closed door, feeling puzzled but not overly concerned.
Thinking that Shen Yuan was still waiting for her, she quickened her pace and walked into the house.
