Transmigrated to become a maid in the household of the Fourth Prince Hongli, Su Yushan trembled. She realized that when Hongli later ascended the throne as Emperor, she was highly likely to become ...
Seeing this, Xi Lan covered her mouth and chuckled, secretly sighing that Jin Minjing really loved to show off and didn't care about the occasion. She wondered what the Fujin would think if she saw her.
In fact, Lady Fucha came from a prominent family and was very good at reading people. Although it was the first time she had met the maids, she had already guessed their personalities from their clothes and behavior.
Knowing what was going on, she showed no dissatisfaction and treated each maid with a smile.
Once everyone had arrived, each maid would take turns serving tea to the Fourth Prince and his wife.
Su Yushan was the second to last. When it was her turn, she slowly stepped forward, took the teacup from the maid, and respectfully handed it to Hongli with her eyes lowered.
"Fourth Master, please have some tea."
Her complexion was pale, and her voice was slightly nasal. When Hongli reached out to take the teacup, he touched her knuckles, which were icy cold. He wanted to ask her a question, but because Lady Fucha was present, he didn't say anything. He took the teacup, took a symbolic sip, and found the tea she offered to him to be particularly bitter.
When the other maids served tea, Hongli showed no reaction, not even glancing at them, his attitude was extremely perfunctory. But when it was Su Gege's turn, Hongli's eyebrows slowly furrowed, his expression was very uncomfortable, his gaze remained fixed on her, his eyes were slightly complicated, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped.
Lady Fucha observed this, then casually took the teacup from Lady Su, took a small sip, and asked a question seemingly unintentionally.
"Why are your eyes so red, little sister? Are you feeling unwell?"
Jin Minjing was delighted to see the joke and casually said, "Perhaps Su Gege is crying tears of joy because she is happy for the Fourth Prince's marriage to his wife!"
These sarcastic words were quite grating, and Su Yushan was displeased, but she couldn't show it. She ignored Jin Minjing and only said to Madam Fucha:
“I recently developed trachoma, which is why it's red. The doctor has already examined me and prescribed some medicine. It's nothing serious. Thank you for your concern, Madam.”
"You actually have trachoma? Oh dear! It's contagious! Your Highness, please don't look at her and be careful not to catch it."
How could Lady Fucha not see that Su Gege's symptoms were not those of trachoma at all, but rather that she had cried during the night?
This Princess Jin was easily startled, had a loud voice, and was very noisy. Just as Lady Fucha was about to remind her, Hongli beside her spoke up.
