Chapter 222: Each with His Own Agenda
When Yu Shengsheng woke up, Su Huaiyuan and Mrs. Su were there.
Ruan Jing was also watching by the window, but because Mrs. Su was there, she did not go to the bed.
"Shengsheng, you're awake."
Su Huaiyuan quickly asked with concern: "How do you feel?"
Yu Shengsheng said slowly: "A little tired."
Her eyes swept across the faces of Su Huaiyuan and Mrs. Su.
Su Huaiyuan was concerned, and so was Mrs. Su, but there was more inquiry in their eyes.
"Shengsheng, are you still dizzy?" Madam Su asked, "The doctor just checked and said it's not a big deal and it will be fine after two days of rest."
Yu Shengsheng looked into her eyes: "Thank you, ma'am."
Mrs. Su met her eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously avoided them: "What do you have to thank me for, kid?"
Su Huaiyuan frowned: "It's all because of you. You've been angry with the child. Shengsheng is worried and overthinking. Otherwise, why would she faint?"
Madam Su wanted to refute, but she held her breath and said, "I'll ask the doctor to prescribe some good medicine to nourish my body."
Yu Shengsheng forced a smile and said, "Thank you, doctor."
Su Huaiyuan added: "Tell the kitchen to prepare special meals for Shengsheng these days."
Madam Su blurted out: "No!"
If I cook for her, how can I let Yu Shengsheng drink the chicken soup?
After that, she started to make excuses: "I think Shengsheng is a sensitive child. If she is given special treatment, her mother will inevitably accuse her of being spoiled, which will not be beneficial to her recovery."
"I told the kitchen to make chicken soup for Shengsheng."
Su Huaiyuan's expression finally eased a little, and Ruan Jing suddenly said, "The chicken soup is greasy, I'm afraid it's not suitable to drink now."
Madam Su turned her head and glared at him: "What do you know? How can you have a say?"
"Jing'er also understands medical knowledge, why can't she tell him?" Su Huaiyuan immediately defended her, "If she hadn't been there, no one would have noticed Shengsheng fainted today."
Mrs. Su gritted her teeth and thought to herself, the added thing has a bit of fishy smell, which can be covered up by the chicken soup. If she doesn't drink the chicken soup, it will take a lot of effort to add it to other dishes.
"Shengsheng said she liked him before. Isn't it to make her happy if we don't let her worry? How can she be happy if she can't even drink the soup she likes?"
Yu Shengsheng sighed softly and closed her eyes: "I'm tired."
Madam Su wanted to say something, but Su Huaiyuan said, "Okay, everyone go out and let her have a good rest."
Madam Su thought to herself that he really didn't understand anything and it was enough that he always got angry because of her when they quarreled.
Mrs. Su flicked her sleeves and left. Wu Lian'er bowed to Su Huaiyuan and glanced at Yu Shengsheng again.
She whispered, "Princess, take good care of yourself. I'll take my leave."
Su Huaiyuan and Ruan Jing looked at each other and retreated to the outer room.
"Brother Su, go and do your work first. I'll chat with Shengsheng later," Ruan Jing said softly, "We had a very pleasant chat in the garden before. It would be better if someone could talk to her now."
"Jing'er, thanks to you," Su Huaiyuan patted her shoulder, "I'll leave it to you now."
“It should be.”
Yu Shengsheng closed her eyes and listened to the footsteps coming in softly.
"Shengsheng," Ruan Jing sat down beside her bed, "Let me take your pulse."
Yu Shengsheng opened her eyes: "Didn't the doctor check it out? He said it's nothing serious."
Ruan Jing said with concern: "I think you are not happy here."
Yu Shengsheng pursed her lips and said nothing.
Ruan Jing observed her expression and said, "We women have a hard life. Our fate is not in our own hands. Our fate is determined by the family we are born into."
"If you want to change your fate, you have to wait until you get married and find a husband of your dreams."
Yu Shengsheng looked at her and listened to her quietly.
"I think Madam Su doesn't care much about your marriage, and Brother Su is a man, so he is not good at this."
Yu Shengsheng didn't expect that Ruan Jing would suddenly mention her marriage.
He just stopped her from drinking the chicken soup. Could it be that he also noticed something in the chicken soup?
If this is the case, we might as well go with the flow and use Ruan Jing to tell Su Huaiyuan and let Su Huaiyuan investigate.
The current situation in the Rongguo Mansion is that even if we ignore blood ties, we still have to consider the Su family.
Yu Shengsheng nodded slowly: "But I'm a girl, I can't find my husband's family by myself."
Ruan Jing smiled faintly: "I heard that the emperor intended to arrange a marriage between you and the prince of Nanshun?"
Yu Shengsheng's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm: "Prince Kong has helped me out several times. He really helped me. However, there is a huge gap between his and my status. His status is noble, so the marriage is decided by the emperor."
"Brother Su once said that he had helped King Nanshun once. Why not let him talk about it? Maybe..."
Yu Shengsheng laughed to herself, "Miss Ruan, are you serious or are you kidding me?"
Ruan Jing was stunned.
"What kind of help could make the King of Nanshun and the Emperor agree that the Crown Prince would marry me? Besides, the Crown Prince is in mourning for the old lady, how can he discuss marriage?"
"If the emperor knew about this, he might think that the Su family was forming a clique."
Ruan Jing's face turned pale: "No, I didn't mean that."
Yu Shengsheng stroked her forehead and said, "I always thought Miss Ruan was a smart person."
She closed her eyes and stopped talking.
Ruan Jing said awkwardly, "Shengsheng, I really didn't think too much about it. I just don't want to see you depressed all the time. Sorry, it's really not my place to interfere in your marriage. Please forgive me."
Yu Shengsheng still remained silent.
Ruan Jing had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye.
Yu Shengsheng opened her eyes, her eyes were cold.
So many people are concerned about her marriage.
But, I don't know where Ruan Jing came from? Why did she mention Kong Dezhao?
Test? Could this be Su Huaiyuan's intention?
Could it be that Su Huaiyuan still wants her to marry Kong Dezhao?
Yu Shengsheng's mind was in a mess and she had no idea what to do.
She stood up and leaned against the head of the bed, took out the hairpin on her head and held it in her hand.
Suddenly a thought came to my mind.
When it comes to marriage, it is better to take control of it in your own hands rather than letting others manipulate and exploit you.
Maybe... this item can be added to the deal with Fu Qingyin.
When Su Huaiyuan returned to the study, his personal guards had already cleaned up the things on the floor.
Seeing that there was no one around, the guard handed over a letter.
When Su Huaiyuan saw the envelope with special marks, he felt a headache.
"General, the Queen said that you should reply as soon as possible."
Su Huaiyuan frowned, took the envelope, opened it and read ten lines at a glance.
You can guess without even looking at it that the first part is definitely a question.
When Concubine Yu died last time, the Queen asked him to help, and he did. He used secret agents to find out about Concubine Yu's neighbor, and brought her to the vicinity of the capital before handing her over to the Queen.
But the people under the queen's command are useless, what can he do?
The second half simply asks him to find another way to solve the prince's current predicament.
He waved his hand, and the guards retreated and closed the door.
The prince is in a dilemma...Su Huaiyuan frowned and thought.
Yu Shengsheng is sick and originally said she would go to the temple to burn incense. Perhaps this is a good time.
