How could Xiao Mingrui hide such a big thing as marrying a concubine from the women in his backyard like Shuang'er? When Zhao Han heard about it, he was shocked as if struck by lightning.
There was no woman named Meng Susu in his memory. And Xiao Mingrui clearly had him and had promised him all those things, but it had only been a short time and he was going to marry a concubine again. Zhao Han felt like he had been slapped in the face. How could Xiao Mingrui let him down?
He didn't want to hear about that woman Meng Susu, but Xiao Mingrui's other concubines came to his yard to laugh at him. Didn't the prince favor this concubine? But a new favorite is about to come in. How long can this old favorite remain in favor?
In the past, they didn't dare to laugh at Zhao Han, but who made him live a joke? He gave up the good job of being a Shuang'er in the Marquis's Mansion and ran to the Chengwang Mansion to be the concubine of the prince. Did he really think he was so noble? Ugh! Now he is just the son of a sinner! His status is even lower than theirs!
Zhao Han was filled with resentment. If his background had not been exposed, if Xiao Mingrui had welcomed him into the house with the etiquette of a concubine, how could these lowly concubines dare to laugh at him so unscrupulously?
Although Xiao Mingrui stayed in his room for several days after he came back, Zhao Han still couldn't feel at ease. He was half-believing and half-doubting what Xiao Mingrui said about the woman being useful to him. Moreover, since Meng Susu was useful to him, he had to marry this woman. Then there would be more women who would be useful to him in the future. Should he marry them all?
What about him? Is he of any use to Xiao Mingrui?
Zhao Han developed a sense of crisis, which made him re-examine the role of Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion. Xiao Mingrui was not as reliable as he imagined, so he still needed support and a backer to help him fight for power and gain a foothold in Xiao Mingrui's backyard, and Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion was his natural ally.
Fortunately, he knew that Marquis Huaiyuan and Zhao Qi would definitely stand behind him, but he still needed Marquis Huaiyuan to help him win over other connections and help the prince seize the throne. After figuring this out, Zhao Han asked someone to send a letter to the Marquis's Mansion. At the same time, he had to make preparations for both situations, which was to have a son with his blood. He didn't want to raise someone else's child to help him take the throne like Luo Yuanjing did in his previous life. He wanted his own biological child.
"Ask around for any good methods of assisting pregnancy. I need to get pregnant quickly." The prince still had feelings for him, so he brought his two caring servants into the mansion and had them continue to serve him.
"Yes, master." The servant used money to go out of the mansion to inquire and also to send a message to the Marquis' Mansion. As a result, by coincidence, he heard people talking about the Yuan's Medical Clinic. The doctor Yuan there was better at treating physical illnesses than the imperial physicians in the palace. The eldest princess was able to hold another flower-viewing banquet because of the improvement of doctor Yuan's health.
Information about Meng Susu was sent to Yuan Jing one after another. At the same time, more and more new things appeared in her shop. Even the guests in his clinic would talk about Meng Susu and her shop during their casual conversations. It sounded like the speed of making money was only slightly slower than that of his clinic, but as more new things were launched, the speed would soon surpass his.
Meng Susu's father had been working away from home. It was said that the reason he was transferred back to the capital was because Meng's father got through the Yu family and sent two good ginsengs. It was said that the two good ginsengs had the effect of bringing the dead back to life.
When he saw these four words, Yuan Jing's eyebrows twitched. For some reason, he intuitively felt that these two good ginsengs were inseparable from Meng Susu. Maybe in the plot, the Meng family never returned to the capital, but after Meng Susu traveled through time, when she knew that Xiao Mingrui was the future emperor, she wanted to curry favor with him and of course she would find a way to go to Beijing, so that she would have a chance to get close to the future emperor.
Originally, no one had heard in the local area how much importance Meng's father attached to the legitimate daughter left by the original wife, but after coming to the capital, he attached great importance to the legitimate daughter, and even the second wife had to take a step back. So this time-traveling girl came here to fight in the house first, and wants to live a life of palace fighting in the future?
Ming Yu had a rare chance to rest, so he immediately left his father and ran to Yuan's Medical Clinic. Prince Duan had already recognized the situation, and the status of Doctor Yuan in his son's mind was no lower than his own.
He actually didn't want to admit the possibility that there was someone taller than him. It was impossible. At best, being on the same level as him was high enough. He didn't do that because he couldn't afford to lose face.
As a result, he and Shi Chengfeng entered the clinic one after the other. Seeing Shi Chengfeng retract his foot but did not step back, Ming Yu became unhappy and looked at him with a strange look: "You are so free? Why do you run to the clinic all day? Or are you... sick?"
The meaningful words coming out of the mouth of a ten-year-old child made people who happened to be passing by look at Shi Chengfeng's lower body. Shi Chengfeng jumped up in excitement at the look: "I am not sick, you are the one who is sick!"
"Oh, if you're not sick, then you're not sick. Why are you so excited? I'm only ten years old. There's no need to worry about that so early." After provoking Shi Chengfeng, Xiao Mingyu swaggered into the clinic and went to the back as if he knew the way. Shi Chengfeng, who was left behind by him, blushed red in the face. He wanted to argue loudly that there was nothing wrong with him, but others didn't even look at him, and immediately dodged if they accidentally bumped into him.
Shi Chengfeng was so angry that he turned around in circles. The servant who followed him asked carefully, "Master, should we go in or go back?"
"Why go in? That little bastard, I will one day..." He couldn't say what he meant by one day. Anyway, he would make Xiao Mingyu, that bastard, suffer. "With that little bastard here, why go in? Let's go shopping and see if there's anything new."
"Yes, young master." The followers also breathed a sigh of relief. Every time they saw Shi Chengfeng and Xiao Mingyu bickering, they would sweat, because whether in terms of verbal skills or physical skills, Shi Chengfeng was far inferior to Xiao Mingfeng. It would be a humiliation to fall into his hands.
As soon as Xiao Mingyu entered the back hall, he saw Yuan Jing standing there with a smile on his face. Obviously, he had heard the conversation outside. Mingyu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and was embarrassed to look at Yuan Jing's face.
Yuan Jing patted his head and said speechlessly: "You, why do you always pick on Mr. Shi? In fact, he is not a bad person by nature." Compared with the other Shi Kui, Shi Chengfeng is considered to have a kind nature, and no one has ever heard of him bullying men or women.
Xiao Mingyu took out the information and handed it forward: "I brought the information to you."
He turned his head away and didn't look at Yuan Jing, but Yuan Jing could hear grievance in his voice, as if saying: I run errands and deliver things for you, but you say good things for others.
Yuan Jing had no choice but to take the information, then took his hand and led him inside: "You, come to think of it, you two are relatives."
Ming Yu muttered, "Who wants to be related to him?" He and Shi Chengfeng are indeed cousins, but he despises her very much. "Hurry up and look at the information. This time it was sent from outside. By the way, Yuan Jing, why do you attach so much importance to this woman? Is there something wrong with her?"
"Yes." Yuan Jing nodded as he read the information, "Don't underestimate the power of women. Look at the imperial concubine in the palace, and Meng Susu. Her shop is now doing very well. If she opens a few more branches, it is possible to make a fortune every day. Maybe Prince Cheng is attracted by her ability to make money."
Ming Yu obviously looked down upon Prince Cheng, but he took Yuan Jing's words to heart because it was Yuan Jing who said it. If it was someone else who said it, he would have just turned around and walked away without paying any attention.
"She fell into the water half a year ago?"
"Yes, I've seen it too. It's said that she was pushed into the pond by her stepmother's younger sister half a year ago. But since then, this woman surnamed Meng has been a little different. If you hadn't noticed it, Yuan Jing, I wouldn't have noticed that she was a little weird."
Yuan Jing thought, it seemed that it was the fall into the water that caused the shell of Meng Susu's body to be replaced by a soul from the afterlife.
Ming Yu continued, "You see, since she fell into the water, Meng Susu, who was originally a poor little bullied girl, has suppressed her stepmother and stepsister in a short period of time. Even her father is on her side. And I heard from the locals that Miss Meng used to be quite timid and not as pretty as her stepsister. But after she fell into the water, she seems to change every day, not only in her personality, but also in her appearance."
Yuan Jing couldn't figure out how big the change was.
Ming Yu added, "I have someone in Beijing keeping an eye on the Meng family and that store. I heard that the store is going to launch some new whitening and slimming pills today. This woman will definitely be there today. Why don't we go over and take a look? I want to see if that woman has three heads and six arms."
Yuan Jing laughed. How could it be so exaggerated to have three heads and six arms? However, he really wanted to take a closer look, so he said, "Okay."
Ming Yu's whitening pills and slimming pills also aroused his interest. Is it really just a time-traveling girl? He didn't believe that people who traveled from the future would make whitening pills and slimming pills. Contacting the two ginsengs that the Meng family had sent, Yuan Jing decided to take this trip.
Mingyu was immediately happy. Yuan Jing either treated patients or made medicine behind closed doors. After returning to the capital, he seldom went out to play with him. When they were in Ningcheng, he complained that Yuan Jing took him to the countryside, but now he actually missed the days when he ran out all day.
Now there are two doctors in the clinic, so Yuan Jing is relieved to hand over the clinic to them and Zhang Zhi, and goes out with Mingyu.
Business in the capital is quite prosperous. By the time the two of them walked to the Meiyi Pavilion, they had a bunch of snacks in their hands, all of which they bought along the way.
Yuan Jing stood outside and looked around. The Meiyi Pavilion was indeed doing good business. Although the storefront was quite large, the interior was still packed with guests.
"The location of this shop is great." Yuan Jing exclaimed. None of the shops owned by the Fan family could compare to Meiyi Pavilion.
Mingyu said: "It was Xiao Mingrui who gave us this shop."
"No wonder." The dignified Prince Cheng's Mansion can indeed afford such a good shop. The better the business of this shop is, the more Xiao Mingrui will value Meng Susu, and the more Zhao Han will doubt his life.
"Let's go in too." Yuan Jing turned around and handed the snacks in his and Mingyu's hands to the guards following them. He clapped his hands and took Mingyu in.
