She just went back to get some clothes, didn't she?
How did things get so bad in the blink of an eye?
Qin Su shook her head at her, "It's nothing serious."
She changed the subject, "Did you bring His Highness's outer robe?"
Lian Tao nodded, "It has already been handed over to Chongyang."
"That's good." Qin Su smiled wryly; she estimated it would take some time to recover.
Although she was forced into it, she really needs to rest and recuperate.
"I'll assign you a few men later, so you won't have to do things yourself." He had seen Qin Su do things by herself several times.
I didn't know she was pregnant before, and I didn't want to spoil her fun.
Now do you know where to stop her from acting recklessly? I've heard that the fetus is prone to instability in the first three months of pregnancy.
"No need. From now on, I'll take my family with me when I go out. Your Highness's people are all top-notch; it would be a waste for them to follow me. If I need anything, I'll ask Your Highness for help."
Yu Shuo had no choice but to agree.
Lian Tao went to get the medicine, but Yu Shuo still carried her out of Huichuntang and put her in a sedan chair to send her back.
Somehow the news reached Xue Huai'an, and he immediately sent people to Huichuntang to investigate.
To say that Xue Huai'an didn't understand Qin Su, let alone the people around her, that he thought he could find out about Huichuntang by sending a servant.
Uncle Liu wouldn't tell Yu Shuo, much less Xue Huai'an's people. He only said that Qin Su had injured herself while practicing martial arts, successfully misleading Xue Huai'an.
Not long after Xue Huai'an's men left, Chongyang went to Huichuntang carrying a box.
"Uncle Liu, this is what His Highness asked me to bring." Chongyang placed the box in front of Uncle Liu.
"Oh." Uncle Liu accepted it without any hesitation.
Chongyang raised an eyebrow. He was quite concerned about the relationship between Yu Shuo and Uncle Liu, as the two seemed to be very familiar with each other.
"Did Uncle Liu and His Highness know each other before?" He didn't want to leave just like that, so he leaned on the cabinet and asked Uncle Liu.
"I don't know him. I used to be a country bumpkin. How could I possibly know His Highness Prince Chen? You should leave now and not disturb my clinic."
Chongyang touched his nose, feeling that Uncle Liu's words were laced with barbs.
After Chongyang left, Uncle Liu took out the box, and his eyes lit up when he opened it.
"Good stuff! At least that brat has some conscience after all." He snorted, extremely satisfied.
Qin Su did not disturb her mother. She rested at home for two days and appeared on the street on the third day.
Lian Tao followed Qin Su, holding an umbrella, and complained, "Your Highness is really something. She can't handle her own affairs, so she has to drag the young lady into it."
"Does the young lady feel unwell?" She was very worried about Qin Su, after all, Qin Su's appearance three days ago was too frightening.
"It's not that serious. I'm fine."
After passing through Guanqian Street, Qin Su went directly to the south of the city. The south of the city was the most crowded and lively area with the most street performers.
Lian Tao's biggest worry right now is that someone might bump into or hurt her daughter, so she's careful about almost everything.
"Have all the people been arranged?" Her voice was almost drowned out by the shouts and cheers, but Lian Tao, who was close by, could still hear it clearly.
"Don't worry, young lady."
After strolling through the bustling street, the two entered a jewelry shop.
"This is what I took a liking to first, why should I give it to you?"
As soon as I entered, I heard someone shouting loudly, the voice was so shrill it was almost piercing my eardrums.
"Let me tell you, I have plenty of money, and I will definitely get this today."
"You can take it if you want, I don't necessarily need it." This voice was much weaker.
Qin Su: I never expected that this Madam Wang would be so weak-willed. How can this play continue?
"You're smart enough! But you have to apologize to my daughter. Your son just pushed her." Fortunately, the actor was professional enough not to immediately back down.
"What nonsense! My son has never touched your daughter. Don't make things up."
The richly dressed woman's eyes were fierce, like a knife scraping bone. "You're so young and you already know how to bully little girls. What will you be like when you grow up? Looking at your foxy face, you might just be a slut who seduces men!"
"No man has come over for so long, are you single? Pregnant out of wedlock? Or are you someone's mistress?"
"Let me tell you, what we in Da'an despise most is mistresses. If we see one, we'll beat her to death and the government won't care!"
Madam Wang, protecting her son, looked extremely displeased. "What nonsense are you spouting? My husband and I have already performed the wedding ceremony! You don't know the truth of the matter; you only know how to insult people!"
The elegant woman pointed at Madam Wang's nose and demanded, "Who knows? When did the mistress ever admit to being a mistress?"
"You're a slut, and your son is a little slut!"
She spat and told the maid to pay the bill.
"Apologize! Otherwise, I'll report you to the authorities!"
She was trembling with anger, but her aura was no match for Lady Huagui.
"Go ahead and report it. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
It was time for Qin Su to come in. She was dressed in a flamboyant red dress, and everything she used and wore was the most luxurious. However, what caught the eye the most was the soft whip wrapped around her waist, which looked very intimidating.
"What's all the noise about? Has the jewelry shop turned into a vegetable market?"
A single, casual remark instantly captured everyone's attention.
"Who are you? What's it to you?" The noble lady spoke as if she didn't recognize Qin Su.
"My name is Qin Su. I've never cared whether something is related to me or not."
"You're Qin Su? The one who got jilted? You got jilted and you still have the nerve to go out shopping? How embarrassing! I'd be too ashamed to even go out myself."
Lian Tao: Although these are actors we invited, aren't you going too far?
"It was I who broke off the engagement with Xue Huai'an," Qin Su said again, seizing the opportunity.
"Aren't you very familiar with the laws of Da'an? Do you want me to explain it to you? Women in Da'an can remarry after breaking off an engagement, remarrying, or becoming widowed, and they do not need to pay taxes if they remarry within one year."
"Apologize to her." Qin Su pulled out the whip, seemingly with a threatening tone.
The noble lady was a little scared, but she still stubbornly said, "Why? It was clearly his son who pushed my daughter."
Qin Su asked the people next to her, "Did any of you see it?"
“No one pushed her daughter; she’s talking nonsense.”
"Exactly, exactly. She thinks she can be arrogant and domineering just because her husband is a minor official."
...
"Did you hear that? If you don't want to apologize, that's fine too. Then kneel down. It's been a long time since I've used this whip on anyone."
Lady Hua was truly terrified. She forced herself to apologize to Madam Wang, and then slunk away with her daughter.
Qin Su noticed out of the corner of her eye that someone had left the jewelry shop; thankfully, she had planned ahead.
"Shopkeeper, I heard you recently received a batch of forbidden items. Let me take a look." Qin Su ignored Madam Wang beside her and stepped inside.
"Alright!" The shopkeeper immediately sent someone to appease Madam Wang.
Qin Su opened the box. The goods inside were not as good as those in the west of the city, but they were still quite nice. Qin Su picked out a simple one, a jade tree carved from green jade, which was quite exquisite.
Then she saw a black jade pendant with long, beautiful tassels hanging down in a gradient of white and dark blue.
"Let me see that one too."
