Because of that fall into the water, Cheng Xianyi suffers excruciating pain during these few days every month.
"Ah Cheng, how did you know?" Cheng Xianyi asked, her eyes filled with doubt and emotion as she felt the pain in her abdomen lessen.
“I asked Uncle Cheng a few days ago and found out that this is a tonic cake that I made by researching medical books these days. It contains brown sugar and some medicinal herbs. It can relieve pain, dispel cold, and help you recover from your condition.”
"I know you don't like drinking Chinese medicine, so I specially prepared this. It tastes like a pastry and is easy to eat. Does it feel better?"
Cheng Xianyi nodded, her eyes sparkling like stars.
"That's good." Zhou Cheng smiled with satisfaction, put his arm around Cheng Xianyi's shoulder, and got into the carriage.
The eldest princess, who had been ignored throughout, was speechless.
This jarring scene was deeply etched into the princess's mind.
At first, she only felt angry and resentful, thinking that Zhou Cheng was tactless and dared to lose face for Cheng Xianyi.
But as I watched...
She was slightly taken aback.
In the princess's mind, whether it was her father, brothers, or husband, any man would consider a woman's menstruation to be taboo, something dirty that no one wanted to hear about.
They avoid entering the delivery room at all costs, believing it will bring bad luck and bring misfortune.
How could any man be so gentle and considerate?
How could they possibly care whether a woman experiences pain or discomfort during her period?
That's impossible!
Zhou Cheng is a man too. A man who doesn't shy away from such things, and even personally makes tonic cakes for Cheng Xianyi, isn't he afraid of getting bad luck?
He just...
"Wait!!" The princess was lost in thought, her mind filled with images of Zhou Cheng's meticulous care. When she came to her senses, she saw that Zhou Cheng had already helped Cheng Xianyi into the carriage.
She quickly called out to Zhou Cheng.
Then, her face turned slightly pale, and she said, "What did you mean by that just now! Don't you need me to put in a good word for you with the Emperor? Don't you want to clear General Zhou's name?"
Hearing this.
Zhou Cheng paused slightly, a mocking sneer playing on his lips, and said to the princess, "No need!"
"Aren't you afraid that the Zhou family will face a great calamity?" The eldest princess was slightly taken aback.
Zhou Cheng laughed out loud: "Don't worry, things aren't over yet, and it's not certain who will have the last laugh! Princess, I advise you to put away your filthy thoughts, it's useless."
"In my life, Zhou Cheng has no one but Cheng Xianyi! I can't bear to see her unhappy because of jealousy."
"As for the other women, let alone you, even if an empress came, I wouldn't bother to glance at her! Go back!"
Zhou Cheng got into the carriage and drove off with Cheng Xianyi.
His final words lingered in the princess's mind like mosquito coils, causing her to tremble slightly and realize for the first time how ridiculous her own vows were.
She thought,
With her background and looks, it would be easy for her to break up the marriage between the Zhou and Cheng families.
She thought that Zhou Cheng only used Cheng Xianyi and had no feelings for her, and that the two would fall out if he used a little trick.
They thought Zhou Cheng was an incompetent good-for-nothing who couldn't support the Zhou family or handle any major matters.
Can--
But what did she see today?
Is this really the rumored young master of the General's Mansion?
The princess fell silent, pursing her lips tightly. She glanced in the direction Zhou Cheng had left, her mind filled with his tender and doting gaze and expression, an image that lingered in her mind for a long time.
