The person accepted the purse and said with a smile, "I'm just a messenger. The Princess Consort likes the Eighth Miss, which is why she sent such a nice gift. Eighth Miss, you should go and thank the Princess Consort in person when you have time. The Princess Consort will definitely be happy to see you."
"Like it?" Su Han sneered. Forget about the talk of the two sisters entering the palace together and supporting each other; even the princess herself certainly didn't believe any of that.
It's no wonder the princess would like someone who could be her daughter's future rival!
However, tomorrow is also the day to pay my respects to the Princess.
The next day, the group arrived at the main hall. The princess's head maidservant welcomed Su Han into the side hall. She quickly glanced around the room and saw that two of her sisters, the sixth and ninth young ladies, had arrived earlier than her.
The Jingbei Prince's Mansion has ten young ladies, but many of them are already married. Now, apart from the tenth young lady, born to Madam Zhang, who is still an infant, only her elder sister, the seventh young lady, has not yet appeared.
Su Han raised her eyebrows, paused, and only continued walking into the house after her cloak was removed by a servant in green.
She had arrived just in time, but she didn't expect her elder sister to be even later. It seems that the princess really dotes on her, and rules are just a word to her.
She walked slowly to the main seat, the rightmost seat of the two rows of comb-backed chairs. Su Han sat down, and a maid immediately served her tea and snacks.
Su Han sat upright with her feet dangling, while Yunyi and Luyi stood behind her with lowered eyes and bowed heads, waiting for the princess along with everyone else in the hall.
After waiting for quite a while, another fiery red figure appeared at the entrance of the side hall, surrounded by a group of maids and servants. The tall girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, fair skin, and red lips. She was quite beautiful and wore a fiery red fox fur cloak. Her red clothes were like fire, and her arrogance could not be hidden in her eyebrows and eyes.
This person was Su Xiangru, the legitimate daughter of the Princess Consort and the apple of Jingbei Prince's eye. Su Han glanced at the water clock in the corner of the side hall; it was just past the first quarter of the morning.
Wow, she really didn't expect this person to come in time. Su Han thought she really wasn't coming today.
The moment Su Xiangru arrived, her gaze fell upon Su Han. Seeing that Su Han was still unharmed, she was incredibly anxious. Damn it, wasn't that medicine supposed to be working well? She had already had someone try it on her before, so why wasn't it working on Su Xiangxue?
Her gaze was fixed on Su Han, as if she wanted to see a hole through her body.
"As the saying goes, illness comes on like a landslide and goes away like pulling silk, but I never expected that it would be the opposite for Eighth Sister. She was fine at first, but then she got seriously ill after just one day. I thought she would need to rest for a long time, but she got better so quickly?"
Su Xiangru's words were practically an open admission that Su Han was faking his illness.
Su Han smiled, not taking Su Xiangru's suspicions and accusations to heart: "Everyone's constitution is different, how can you generalize? But I haven't seen Seventh Sister sick much, so it's hard to compare now."
Su Xiangru already had something to hide, so when I heard Su Han say that, I thought she knew something.
Just as she was about to say something, the princess came over. She glanced at the persistent Su Han, then looked at Su Xiangru with loving eyes: "Little Eight, your sister just said it casually, she didn't mean any harm."
