I am not qualified to be lectured. I cannot comply with your request. I intend to tell the young lady and the mistress."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Zhu turned around and left without hesitation, leaving everyone in shock.
"You...you are so bold!"
Sheng Shuyan was so angry that her face turned pale. She kept stamping her feet, her voice filled with uncontrollable anger, "Man Gong, quickly catch up and teach her a lesson!"
She practically shouted orders to Man Gong.
Man Gong had no choice but to bite the bullet and chase after her, but she was blocked after taking a few steps - the maids and the old woman blocked her way.
One of the old women spoke up, "Second Miss, please don't blame us, but it's true as this girl said. You have the Madam as your mother, and the Young Madam is in charge of managing the household. Miss Wenzhu followed their instructions, so you shouldn't hit her."
Seeing this, Man Gong stopped, turned around and looked at Sheng Shuyan helplessly, not knowing what to say.
"Well, after I tell my mother about this, we'll see who gets the upper hand!"
After saying this harsh remark, Sheng Shuyan sat down on the chair angrily, no longer paying attention to anything else.
Not long after, when Wen Zhu returned to Qifangyuan and recounted to Zhao Manxiang what had just happened between him and the second young lady, Zhao Manxiang's face was full of disbelief after hearing the whole story.
"You want me to greet her at the door? On what terms does she dare to make such a request! And she wants the Changping Palace Lantern? That was a gift specially given to my mother by the Empress Dowager. It's the only precious treasure in the palace. Why should she get it? Even though I received a lot of care and love from my family when I was growing up, I have never been so arrogant!"
Zhao Manxiang spoke her heart out in an excited tone.
"As for these unreasonable requests, I don't think we need to worry about them. She doesn't lack anything that is crucial to us anyway."
In response to this, Wen Zhu responded with a very calm attitude.
"Okay, let's just go to Xuanheyuan for dinner. I also want to see the excitement."
Zhao Manxiang suddenly became interested.
Her eyes lit up and her tone was filled with curiosity.
When Wen Zhu gently helped Zhao Manxiang up, she noticed the bracelet on Wen Zhu's wrist: "This jade bracelet suits you very well."
Zhao Manxiang's eyes fell on the exquisite jade bracelet and she exclaimed in admiration.
"I like this bracelet very much and wear it every day."
Wen Zhu lowered his head and spoke in a weak voice.
Her face flushed slightly and she looked a little shy.
"As long as you like it."
There was a hint of smile on Zhao Manxiang's lips, but her eyes revealed a hint of complicated emotions.
She knew in her heart that the function of this jade bracelet was more than just decoration.
As long as Wen Zhu keeps wearing the bracelet, it will be difficult for her to get pregnant and have a child.
This small jade bracelet actually hides a special medicinal property that can effectively prevent pregnancy.
This was specially prepared by Zhao Manxiang for Wen Zhu.
"By the way, has Doctor Qin, the doctor recommended by the Princess last time, seen you?"
Zhao Manxiang suddenly asked.
There was a hint of inquiry in her eyes, wanting to get an answer from Wen Zhu's words.
Wen Zhu thought that this matter could not be concealed, after all, Zhao Manxiang would find out once she investigated.
She took a deep breath and replied, "I've seen it, but the prescription he gave me is nothing special, just some medicine to take occasionally."
Her tone was calm, revealing no emotion.
"Well, you should be careful with doctors who don't know your background. I'll find someone to help you recover tomorrow."
Zhao Manxiang said this with a smile, and her words seemed to imply that she did not trust Doctor Qin.
"Let everything take its course. There's no rush. Don't bother other doctors. Madam asked Doctor Qin to see me. If Madam knew you hired someone else, I'd be sorry for the Princess."
Wen Zhu persuaded.
Her voice was gentle but firm, and she obviously didn't want Zhao Manxiang to worry about this.
"I originally didn't trust the doctor the Princess introduced for no reason, but forget it, let's talk about it later."
Zhao Manxiang waved her hand and walked forward.
A hint of helplessness flashed across her eyes, but she said no more.
In short, it is not easy to make Wen Zhu pregnant now.
Although Zhao Manxiang appeared calm on the surface, a vague sense of unease was surging deep in her heart.
What are you afraid of?
Zhao Manxiang thought to herself, as if to encourage herself.
Since things are like this, we can only act according to circumstances.
At this time, in the main hall of Xuanheyuan.
Wen Zhu once again told his wife about the second lady's behavior.
She stood before the lady and slowly recounted what had happened.
As she spoke, the lady's expression became more and more solemn.
Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes flashed with worry and dissatisfaction.
Obviously, the lady was very dissatisfied with the second lady's behavior.
At this time, a maid came in to report that the second young lady and Aunt Liu had arrived.
The maid's voice was clear, breaking the silence in the hall.
Wen Zhu retreated behind Zhao Manxiang.
Her movements were light and quick, as if she was used to such scenes.
Zhao Manxiang stood where she was, watching what would happen.
Sheng Shuyan saw Wen Zhu the moment she entered the room. After glancing at him briefly, a smile appeared on her face. She then turned to greet the Duke's wife, "I chatted with my mother for quite a while, so I came a little late..."
"Second Miss, your real mother is sitting over there."
Aunt Mei's tone was solemn, and her voice was neither too high nor too low as she reminded.
