She originally did not want to have any interaction with Bai Mengying.
But Bai Mengying came here today for her.
If that's the case, it wouldn't hurt to meet.
Unexpectedly, Bai Mengying only wanted to take the opportunity to give her a warning.
He kept saying he didn't mind having a second wife, yet he addressed her as Miss Su.
Moreover, there is no distinction between senior and junior wives, so why should Bai Mengying expect her to behave herself?
Seeing Su Muxi's disrespect towards Bai Mengying, Qiao Zixi's eyes flashed with anger. "Su Muxi, don't be so ungrateful! Your sister-in-law, the princess, only said these things to you with good intentions. If it were me, I would definitely make my brother divorce you!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengying patted Qiao Zixi's hand, signaling her to calm down.
Then, with a serious expression, he explained to Su Muxi, "Su... Your Highness, you misunderstand. I didn't mean that you coveted the title of Your Highness's wife. I know that you have taken good care of Zimo for three years and must have feelings for him. But Zimo doesn't have feelings for you. If you keep forcing it, you will probably end up with nothing."
Su Muxi really wanted to sneer out loud.
Are you afraid she'll get nothing?
But what has she gained in the three years since she married into the Marquis of Anyang's household?
The husband she had been taking such good care of wanted to marry someone else.
Her dutiful mother-in-law harbored deep resentment towards her.
Her sister-in-law, who had gone to great lengths to heal her face, showed no gratitude whatsoever and even verbally abused her.
As for the title of Crown Prince's wife, which she received as a blessing, all it brought her was ridicule and mockery.
Just because she was ugly and of low status, even though Qiao Ziming was a cripple, she was still someone she couldn't possibly befriend!
Su Muxi was too lazy to pay attention to these self-righteous and self-righteous people anymore.
Just as she was about to turn and leave, Qiao Ziming suddenly strode in.
"Su Muxi, I only love Yingying in this life. I thought there was no possibility between Yingying and me before, and I was also grateful to you, so I treated you with respect. In fact, I have no feelings of love for you. If you still try to make me fall in love with you, then you should give up as soon as possible!"
Qiao Ziming heard it clearly from outside the door.
If Su Muxi wasn't after the title, then she was after him as a person.
He didn't want Su Muxi to have unrealistic fantasies, nor did he want Bai Mengying to misunderstand, which is why he said those words.
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengying blushed and lowered her head with a smile.
But Su Muxi was disgusted.
The Empress Dowager said that she would first explain the matter of divorce to the Emperor before issuing an imperial edict.
I don't know how many days it will take.
But now, she doesn't want to stay in this Marquis's mansion for even a moment longer!
"Ha! Since the young master and the princess are in love, why do you still insist on keeping me here and refuse to divorce me? Is it just to avoid being labeled as ungrateful? But if the young master dares to do it, why doesn't he dare to admit it? Or is it that Princess Chang Le is not worth sacrificing your reputation for?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Ziming quickly looked at Bai Mengying.
Just as he was about to speak, Bai Mengying spoke first: "Zimo, you don't need to say anything, I understand. You're just worried that Miss Su will have nowhere to stay after leaving the Marquis's mansion and will be gossiped about. I've also said that I don't mind being a concubine. I just want to hold your hand and spend the rest of my life with you. I don't care about anything else."
Qiao Ziming was deeply moved. He took a few steps forward and, disregarding the occasion, directly embraced Bai Mengying.
She murmured, "Yingying... Yingying..."
Seeing this, Qiao Zixi looked at Su Muxi with a provocative glint in her eyes, while Su Muxi simply watched everything coldly.
Just then, Jiang, who had not spoken until now, suddenly pressed her hand to her forehead, looking uncomfortable.
Qiaohui exclaimed in surprise, "Madam, are you feeling dizzy again?!"
"This servant will have the kitchen prepare ginseng soup for you right away!"
But instead of leaving immediately, he looked at Su Muxi with pleading eyes.
"Young Madam, I know you harbor resentment, but you can't disregard the health of the lady!"
Su Muxi looked at Madam Jiang with a cold gaze, "Before taking the medicine, let me take Madam's pulse first. If there is nothing wrong with her body, taking too much ginseng will only harm her."
As he was about to step forward to take Jiang's pulse, he was almost pushed over by Qiao Zixi.
"Don't touch my mother! And don't pretend to be so sympathetic! Don't think you're so great just because you took a few broken ginseng roots from your dowry shop! Today, my sister-in-law, the princess, gave my mother a whole box of old ginseng!"
As he spoke, he opened the box that Bai Mengying had brought, but upon seeing the ginseng inside, the smug look on his face instantly turned into confusion.
"Why is this old ginseng so small?"
"Princess sister-in-law, you haven't been deceived, have you?"
Qiao Zixi didn't think much of it, and her words didn't mean anything else; she simply believed that Bai Mengying had been deceived.
Before becoming Marquis Anyang, Qiao Xiuyuan was just an ordinary captain in the army. He made a contribution in the palace coup nineteen years ago, which is why he became Marquis Anyang. Later, he was gradually valued by the emperor and rose step by step to become the Minister of War.
Jiang was his first wife. She was originally just an ordinary peasant woman, but later became the wife of a marquis. She gradually became familiar with many brocades and jewels, but she didn't know much about precious medicinal herbs.
Most of the medicinal herbs used in the mansion were gifts from others. Later, with the arrival of Su Muxi, who was knowledgeable about medicinal herbs, she only needed to use them and no longer had to worry about them.
Qiao Zixi was personally taught and raised by Jiang Shi. Since Jiang Shi didn't know anything, she naturally wouldn't teach him anything. Therefore, Qiao Zixi didn't know much about medicinal herbs.
However, she also knew that the older the ginseng, the larger it should be, and that ginseng that could be called old ginseng had to be at least several decades old.
However, the ginseng in this box is not as big as the one her brother bought last night, and it cannot compare to the ginseng that Su Muxi brought back to the mansion.
