Unexpectedly, Liu Zhu became even more furious when he heard this.
"So what if I reject him? His Wen family and our Zhen family are not evenly matched. How can he be worthy of asking for my hand in marriage?
Besides, he knew very well that the young lady was in the selection stage at that time. According to the laws of our dynasty, if the young lady agreed to his proposal at that time, even her family would be implicated!
The lady rejected him because she was considering the overall situation and his future. He should be grateful to the lady and treat her better!
But look at his attitude now, isn't this repaying kindness with enmity? "
"...So the young lady rejected him for his own good?"
Huanbi was stunned by Liu Zhu's explanation. She swallowed, forced a smile, and nodded.
"If that's the case, then Master Wen is really going too far by always avoiding you, young lady."
But wasn’t the reason why the eldest sister rejected Wen Shichu because she looked down on him?
The person she really likes is the prince Feng Yinli, who has a higher status.
When she was trying every possible way to get close to Feng Yinli, why didn't she consider that once the matter was exposed, the Zhen family would be held responsible?
What's more, what Haobi couldn't understand was that her elder sister was pursuing the prince while actively entering the palace.
On the one hand, she looked down on Wen Shichu and ruthlessly rejected him, but on the other hand, she asked him to continue to lick her and treat her well, and even asked him to be grateful to her.
She really didn't understand this operation, but she didn't dare to disobey her elder sister.
Because before the eldest sister entered the palace this time, her father had already made it clear to her that they were half-sisters with the same father, so her future and destiny depended entirely on her eldest sister.
Since you have to rely on her, you have to be obedient and protect the interests of your elder sister.
These little opinions can only be buried deep in my heart.
At this moment, Zhen Qia spoke.
"Don't blame Doctor Wen. After all, we grew up together, and I understand him.
He deliberately ignored me, not because I rejected his proposal, but because he was also considering me.
"Considering you? My dear, how can you say that?"
Liu Zhu was stunned and asked quickly.
Zhen Qia smiled slightly, and her smile was full of confidence.
"Brother Shichu has always loved me and loved me very much. He is a reserved and humble person. How could he turn against me and be so ruthless just because I rejected him once?
The last time I met him in the palace and talked to him, he only said a few words to me and left in a hurry, leaving behind a sentence that his identity was different.
I knew that he was thinking about me. After all, I have entered the palace and become a lady. Although I am not favored by the emperor, I am still his person.
There are so many people in the palace. If someone knew about the friendship between him and me since childhood and used it to harm me, it would be terrible."
"So that's how it is. No wonder he always made excuses to not see me when I went to look for him several times. It turns out he didn't want to put the young lady in danger.
Master Wen's feelings for the young lady remain the same as always!"
When Liu Zhu heard this, he suddenly understood and laughed.
But he quickly frowned.
"But my lady, you need his help to avoid being favored. He has been refusing to see you. If the emperor turns over your card later, all our previous efforts will be wasted.
By then..."
That’s right, Zhen Qia had never hidden her desire to avoid being favored from these two girls.
Huanbi knew the inside story, and although she didn't agree, she didn't say much either.
But Liu Zhu is different. He is a blind man who always puts his master first in everything and agrees with all the decisions made by his master.
Therefore, Liu Zhu actively helped Zhen Cha to find ways to avoid being out of favor, and also actively helped Zhen Cha to find out the news and when Feng Yinli would enter the palace.
However, Feng Yinli never went to the palace again after Feng Yinzhen took away his largest gold mine and gave it to Feng Wanwan.
Maybe he was afraid that if he went to the palace more often, more blood would be drawn.
Zhen Qia was very anxious because she didn't get the news that Feng Yinli had entered the palace, but the most urgent thing at the moment was to avoid being favored.
Zhen Qia pondered for a moment and spoke softly.
"Brother Shichu is too worried about me, so she doesn't dare to come. Since she doesn't dare to come, then I will go myself."
That night.
Wen Shichu was on duty at the Imperial Hospital.
Under the candlelight, he was hunched over his desk, flipping through a medical book intently and taking notes seriously.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, causing the candle to flicker. He could not see the words on the book clearly, so he quickly covered the candle with his palm.
But then I heard a burst of light footsteps coming from the direction of the door.
You can vaguely see that it is a person dressed as a palace maid.
So he stood up immediately.
"Which palace's young lady is in trouble?"
"It was Fang from Suiyuxuan who agreed." The man answered in a low voice.
"What are your symptoms? I'll get the right medicine for you."
"I have no appetite and feel lethargic. This must be lovesickness..." The man spoke in a low voice with a hint of resentment.
"Lovesickness?"
Wen Shichu paused in taking the medicine box, and suddenly realized that the voice sounded familiar. He suddenly raised his head.
The person had already walked to the table, and the candlelight illuminated her face clearly.
It's clearly Zhen Cai's face.
But what she was wearing was not the attire of a concubine, but the attire of a palace maid.
Wen Shi was shocked.
"Miss Zhen, why are you dressed like this and coming to the Imperial Hospital?"
"If I don't come, how can I see Brother Shichu? Brother Shichu, I asked Liu Zhu to look for you several times, why don't you want to come to see me?
