Lord Wu's eyes flickered when he heard this. "Think carefully! Being a concubine isn't a good thing. As a mistress, you only need to manage the concubines. As a concubine, just like Bai, you will be under her control, regardless of age."
"But she's also under my control." Miss Wu San, overwhelmed by love, took it for granted: "Bai is just an orphan, and yet she can be a good mistress of the Marquis's mansion. I was also carefully raised by my parents, so why can't I?"
Lord Wu clapped his hands and said, "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will plan for you."
Madam Wu was anxious: "I hold you dear and raise you up, and you rush to become my concubine? You are going to become a laughing stock of the entire Zhou Dynasty!"
Miss Wu San snorted softly, "I've already said it, I'm not a concubine, I'm a co-wife! What's more, we have the support of the Fourth Prince, so why are we afraid of not being able to defeat the Bai family?"
Mrs. Wu wanted to persuade him, but Lord Wu patted her on the shoulder. Even if she didn't want to, she could only keep silent.
Lord Wu said, "If I want this wound to not leave a scar, I need a secret medicine from the palace. I'm going to ask the Fourth Prince for the medicine. By the way, let's talk about the marriage."
"You!" Mrs. Wu was furious. Did she really want her precious daughter, whom she held in the palm of her hand, to become a concubine?
But her husband had agreed, so even if she threw a tantrum, it would be of no use. She could only sit helplessly in the chair.
As soon as Lord Wu left, Bai Wanyi came with the imperial physician to ask for a meeting.
Mrs. Wu didn't want to see her, but her daughter kept winking at her, so she asked someone to come in and said to the maid, "Just prepare some tea. Don't be rude."
Bai Wanyi came to the house with the imperial physician, a full set of rouge and powder that she had just made, and a sincere apology.
As soon as they met, Bai Wanyi didn't even sit down. He offered a gift and apologized, keeping a humble attitude. "I'm very sorry about what happened today. No one wants this to happen, but since it has happened, we must minimize the damage. These are my apologies to Miss Wu. I've also called in the imperial physician to see Miss Third. I'll definitely find the best scar cream in the world to ensure there won't be even a single scar left."
The imperial physician felt enormous pressure when he heard this. He said, "Just do what you promised. Please don't transfer your stress to me."
Such a deep wound will definitely leave some marks even if you use the best scar removal cream in the world.
Madam Wu quickly asked the imperial physician to examine the wound: "You've come just in time. Will this wound leave a scar?"
Miss Wu San turned sideways to let the imperial physician examine her injuries. She glanced secretly behind Bai Wanyi, but was very disappointed when she didn't see the person she wanted to see.
Thinking about it again, I was afraid that Lu Yan must have come. This is the inner house and outsiders are not allowed to enter. It must be my brother who is receiving him.
Miss Wu San felt more at ease, and felt a little more expectant.
She was very careful, and even the imperial physician didn't notice it, let alone Bai Wanyi.
Chu Yun saw Miss Wu San's gaze clearly. She quietly took a small step to the side and hid herself behind Bai Wanyi. Her movement was small, but unfortunately, Mrs. Wu saw it.
Madam Wu looked at her and saw that the little maid was quiet and inconspicuous, but she seemed to have an aura that could not be ignored.
Madam Wu looked at Bai Wanyi again and smiled meaningfully. Madam Lu Hou had such a wonderful person by her side. There would be some good things to watch in the future.
Miss Wu San hated Bai Wanyi the most, but she didn't show it on her face. She just lowered her head and shed tears in grievance.
Bai Wan saw her like this and quickly advised: "Don't cry, sister. Be careful not to let your tears get on your wound."
Miss Wu San carefully wiped away her tears and forced a smile: "In my heart, I actually want to do this. I also know that what happened today was not what my sister wanted, but I am a girl who has been embarrassed. How can I live in the future?"
Bai Wanyi took her hand and said, "Don't worry, sister. I will plan your lifelong event for you. When the time comes, I will give you a generous dowry."
Thinking that Lord Wu was the Fourth Prince's man, she gritted her teeth and said, "There is a coral tree in my dowry. I will have it delivered to you."
Corals are rare, let alone coral trees. Miss Wu San saw them when Bai Wanyi was drying her dowry.
The color is bright and vivid, and it is very face-saving to put it at home.
Miss Wu San suppressed the smile on her lips and said, "How can I be so embarrassed?"
Bai Wanyi's heart ached so much that it almost bled, but he still had to grit his teeth and smile: "As long as my sister likes it, I'm glad. After what happened today, I must give my sister an explanation. These servants should be properly disciplined."
Mrs. Wu said indifferently, "How you discipline the servants is your family's business and has nothing to do with us. I just want my daughter's face to be restored to its original state."
Bai Wanyi patted his chest and assured: "It will be fine, don't worry."
The imperial physician applied medicine to Miss Wu San's wound, bandaged it, and after explaining the precautions, he said, "I've got a can of the Imperial Hospital's best scar removal cream. Most wounds won't leave a mark, but Miss San's wound is quite deep. If you really want it to leave no mark at all, you'll have to ask the Empress for help."
When Bai Wanyi heard that she had to ask the Queen for help, her heart was worried. The Queen wanted her son to ascend to the throne, and the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince were on opposite sides. Would she be willing to lend the ointment to her?
The Queen must be hoping that the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion and the Fourth Prince will be at odds, right?
Although Bai Wanyi thought so in his heart, he didn't say it out loud. He just smiled and said, "Since there is a way to remove the scar, I will definitely help you find it. I will go back first. I will definitely give an explanation to the Wu family for what happened today."
Mrs. Wu nodded with a smile, but did not see her off. She just asked her maid to send her out, and asked someone to pay the doctor's fee.
After sending everyone away, Madam Wu took her daughter's hand and asked again, "Do you really want to marry the Marquis of Pingyang?"
Miss Wu San nodded shyly: "As long as my daughter thinks of him, the wound will not hurt."
Madam Wu laughed in anger: "Then the Marquis of Pingyang is more effective than medicine?"
She sighed again. Even if she didn't want to, the child was willing, and she would feel embarrassed. Marrying Pingyang Hou was also a good choice.
As for the theory of co-wives, Madam Wu did not believe it, but as long as Marquis Pingyang valued his daughter and waited to get rid of Bai, and then used the current theory of co-wives to establish her as the legal wife, it could not be said that he was treating a concubine as a wife. What's more, with the support of the Fourth Prince, who would dare to say a word of gossip?
Mrs. Wu figured it out, so she took her daughter's hand and warned her, "Don't underestimate the little maidservant beside Bai. I can see that she and Bai are not on the same page. If you marry into the family, be careful."
"Yes. My daughter knows." Miss Wu San nodded. In her heart, she still didn't take Chu Yun seriously. At this moment, her mind was full of thoughts about when she could enter the Pingyang Marquis Mansion and how to gain Lu Yan's favor.
Bai Wanyi came out of the Wu family and got into the carriage, but she was not allowed to leave. She leaned against the carriage tiredly, closed her eyes and rested. After a while, she said to Chu Yun, "Send someone to tell the Marquis to find a way to get the scar removal cream from the Queen."
