Chapter 50 Strange
Cheng Nianying said calmly, "It's really unfortunate. I just wanted her to sleep for a day so I could come to you the next day."
It turned out to be the Princess's doing.
Wei Yanhua's pupils shrank and she asked, "How did you do that?"
"By tapping the acupoints and sealing the meridians, her body will cool down and her energy consumption will slow down, just like a bear hibernating in the mountains. So even though it will take longer than expected, it won't harm her at all."
"I did that because I saw you couldn't seem to control her."
"Also, there have been some issues in the mansion these past few days that have tied my hands and feet..."
Cheng Nianying explained everything one by one in a calm tone.
Wei Yanhua interrupted: "I know, I know the Princess must have something to do and that's why she didn't come. I believe you."
She never thought that the Princess would explain to her.
Most of the girls from the marquis's mansion have excellent upbringing, better than those high-ranking nobles.
"You asked the Crown Princess to send me the invitation, right? Otherwise, how could I be worthy of it?"
After not seeing her for a few days, Wei Yanhua had lost a lot of weight.
Cheng Nianying looked at her: "No."
Wei Yanhua was a little surprised: "No?"
At this point, someone called out joyfully, "Yurong, why didn't you come to see me when you arrived?"
The voice sounded familiar, and Cheng Nianying turned around.
Then he saw Zhou Yunfu, whom he had met at the palace banquet that day. Besides her, there were two more young women around, one dressed in blue, the other in white, both wearing gold jewelry and scarves, the typical attire of noble ladies.
The woman in blue also joked, "After all, she's become the princess of a county. She's become estranged from us, right?"
The woman in white pointed directly at Wei Yanhua: "I heard Yunfu say that you were playing with her some time ago, but I didn't believe it. Yurong, you must be careful not to be deceived by those with ulterior motives."
They are all Qin Yurong's friends.
Cheng Nianying was very disappointed.
It turns out that her "sister's" so-called friends are just like this.
Zhou Yunfu responded at this time: "That's right, Yurong, I just heard recently that there is a story about Miss Wei's mother. I'm afraid you may be offended by it."
Wei Yanhua's face was tense and her hands were clenched so tightly that they almost drew blood.
If we turn against each other... I'm afraid it will ruin the reputation of the Princess.
Besides, what capital does she have to get angry?
"Jade-like face..." the woman in white continued to speak.
Cheng Nianying suddenly clapped his hands: "I understand why."
"What?" The three women in white were stunned.
Wei Yanhua also looked up at Cheng Nianying in confusion.
Cheng Nianying whispered, "My sister-in-law doesn't want me to have any contact with you."
Wei Yanhua's face turned blue, then blue and red, and she was extremely ashamed.
The woman in white laughed: "So the Crown Prince's Consort also advised you long ago, Yurong, you should listen..."
Cheng Nianying glanced at her sideways. There was no need to figure out which one of Qin Yurong's friends she was. In any case, none of them were good.
"You're a bit noisy." Cheng Nianying told her.
The woman in white froze in thought, "Yurong, what do you mean?"
Cheng Nianying turned sideways and casually brushed past the flowers, slipping a few into her sleeves. She lowered her hand and flicked her fingers.
The woman in white swayed, and suddenly fell down. When she opened her mouth again, no sound came out.
The other two were so frightened that they rushed over to support her.
Fu Yi, who was fishing over there, turned around and took a look.
This is much more interesting.
"Yingying, what's wrong with you?"
"Why did you sit down suddenly?"
Did I sit down suddenly? I, I… The woman in white opened her mouth as wide as she could, her face grimacing, but she couldn't make a sound.
"What should I do?"
"We have to go find the Crown Princess."
“Let’s go, let’s go…”
Cheng Nianying rubbed her ears and continued to say to Wei Yanhua, "This is why my sister-in-law invited you here."
Wei Yanhua suddenly understood: "To make me give up when faced with difficulties? And to let you know that if you associate with me, people will inevitably gossip about me?"
She paused and squeezed out a voice: "But you... don't care?"
Cheng Nianying: "Well, if the prince allows it, what does it matter if they don't?"
"The prince..." Wei Yanhua was even more shocked. "Does he know that you always come to my place?"
"Yes, I did."
Wei Yanhua looked at her delicate and innocent profile and remained silent.
How could that man be willing to deceive and use her?
"I heard someone suddenly lost their voice?" Princess Zhaoning's voice sounded closer, and she walked over slowly, her skirt lifted. "I just went to visit Princess Kang, and when I came out, I saw that something seemed to have happened here."
Without waiting for an answer, she looked at Wei Yanhua curiously: "What is this?"
Cheng Nianying only said her name: "Wei Yanhua."
Princess Zhaoning responded with an "Oh" without any change of expression on her face.
Wei Yanhua didn't recognize her. After taking another look at her, she asked, "What happened to Princess Kang?"
Princess Zhaoning frowned and said, "I have a headache and feel very uncomfortable."
Wei Yanhua wanted to ask Cheng Nianying if she had visited him, but since there were outsiders present, it was inconvenient to ask. She felt strange. The Princess of the County was the proper daughter-in-law, so why did this woman go to visit first?
"I'm Princess Zhaoning. I haven't seen you much before, but since you're so close to Yurong, I consider you one of my own." Princess Zhaoning sat down next to Wei Yanhua. "Let's just talk here, the three of us."
Not far away, Zhou Yunfu turned around, extremely surprised and jealous: "Why is the princess sitting with Wei Yanhua?"
"He just got close to us yesterday." The woman in blue bit her lip.
The woman in white was so anxious that she kept moaning and whining, but she couldn't get a word in.
Fortunately, the woman in blue spoke for her: "Yun Fu, didn't the princess tell you that her brother likes women like you? She wouldn't repeat that to Wei Yanhua, would she?"
Zhou Yunfu said angrily, "How is that possible?"
They couldn't understand why Princess Zhaoning became close to Wei Yanhua again.
Wei Yanhua couldn't figure it out either. She felt that there was some connection here... Maybe, just like the Crown Prince's wife invited her here, it was just to clean up the people who shouldn't be around the Princess.
Wei Yanhua turned her gaze to Cheng Nianying again.
But Cheng Nianying was already a little distracted at this time.
She didn't care about anyone else, nor did she care about Princess Zhaoning.
She was looking at the entrance to the garden—
There was another person in a wheelchair being pushed in.
The man wore a golden crown and a purple robe. He had a handsome face but a gloomy expression.
Behind him were several people in palace costumes.
Someone sang, "...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
At that time, Cheng Nianying and Wei Yanhua looked at each other quickly.
Fu Yi, who was sitting by the lake and lazily fishing, opened his eyes again. Oh, this is even more interesting.
