Chapter 14 Let Qiao Xuerou Steal the Show



The position of Crown Prince's wife was originally hers.

She and Lu Yanke were in love with each other.

Yan Ke's brother had promised long ago that he would definitely marry her.

Because of that bitch Jiang Chuwei's interference, her dream of becoming the wife of a prince was shattered.

She'll definitely take that spot.

She is the only one fit to be the Crown Prince's wife; no one else can hold the position.

The resentment in Qiao Xuerou's eyes did not escape Jiang Chuwei's notice.

"Grandmother! Wei'er doesn't have time to serve you. It will take us day and night to make these ten pills."

"I'll administer acupuncture to you today. Cousin Qiao, please watch carefully. I'm entrusting Grandma to you now."

Jiang Chuwei said gently.

Lu Yanke was a little dazed.

Where did that woman who used to act like a shrew at Avon go?

Seeing her speak softly to her grandmother now is like a spring breeze caressing his heart.

Lu Yanke's tone became exceptionally gentle: "You've worked hard, Madam!"

Madam Lu was also very satisfied.

She knew it; the Jiang family would come to their senses sooner or later.

A man only takes a woman; once he's angry, he'll let it go.

They can't possibly turn the world upside down.

Jiang Chuwei sneered inwardly.

When the old lady fell ill, Chen Yulan, who should have been by her side, was nowhere to be seen.

The old playboy, Marquis Pingyang, has also vanished without a trace.

In the past, when the old lady was sick, she was the only one in the entire manor who was busy with everything.

The rest of the people were like they were dead.

None of those who should have been by his bedside to show filial piety were present.

The second wife, Madam Mo, and the third wife, Madam Song, were also nowhere to be seen.

“Grandmother! I need to make pills, so I won’t have much time later. As for acupuncture, I’ve only learned it from the family physician. I’ll teach it to Sister Qiao today, and she can serve you from now on.”

If she were merely a mistress, Qiao Xuerou would certainly not be qualified to serve the old lady.

But she also had another identity: the old lady's distant niece.

Although this was an excuse used to fool Jiang Chuwei, it has now come in handy.

Jiang Chuwei was skilled in medicine, a fact known only to a few people in the General's Mansion.

The people in the Marquis's mansion only thought that she had learned acupuncture.

When Jiang Chuwei first married into the Marquis's mansion, she was genuinely kind to the old lady.

She was then forced to demonstrate her acupuncture skills.

Fortunately, she used an excuse at that time, which was to let the physician administer acupuncture first while she learned from him.

However, the old lady later discovered that the acupuncture administered by the royal physician was ineffective, while Jiang Chuwei's acupuncture had an immediate effect.

The old lady had also wondered if Jiang Chuwei's medical skills were superior.

Jiang Chuwei said that because she is a woman, her technique was gentler, which is how she accidentally cured her grandmother's headache.

The real reason was that her acupuncture techniques, combined with her homemade pills, were able to control the old lady's condition.

What does the old lady's life or death have to do with her now?

Since she could learn the acupuncture technique, Qiao Xuerou could naturally learn it too.

"Wouldn't it be better to summon the imperial physician?"

Madam Lu would never dare to become Qiao Xuerou's guinea pig.

"Then Your Highness should go and invite them!"

Jiang Chuwei did not object.

As long as you can get it.

The old lady, with a shameless grin, asked, "How could Ke'er, a mere idle official, possibly invite an imperial physician? On the contrary, your father, General Jiang, is someone even the emperor has to give some face to; he would certainly give face if he went to invite Imperial Physician Zhou."

Jiang Chuwei hesitated, "Grandmother! Father might have agreed a few days ago, but now that the matter of the young master has caused disgrace to the General's Mansion, Father will not go to ask him."

"How about we let the Marquis give it a try?" Jiang Chuwei suggested.

The old lady's head started to ache again; she would have died long ago if she had been relying on that unfilial son.

"Grandmother, trust Rou'er, let her try!" Lu Yanke didn't believe that without the General's Mansion, Grandmother wouldn't get better, would she?

Rou'er is so smart, how could she not learn acupuncture?

The old lady was in a hurry to take her medicine, so she naturally hoped that Jiang Chuwei could make the pills as soon as possible.

"I..." Qiao Xuerou was about to make an excuse to refuse when the old lady scolded, "Wei'er has already learned it, why can't you? What use are you!"

When asked to compare herself to Jiang Chuwei, Qiao Xuerou immediately said, "Grandma, I'm willing to learn."

Jiang Chuwei twitched the corners of her mouth. She really did have to compete with her in everything.

The old lady certainly had a knack for manipulating people's hearts.

She knew that if she wanted Qiao Xuerou to do her best, she had to bring Jiang Chuwei into the picture.

She didn't have anything particularly impressive to offer compared to the young ladies of the General's Mansion.

This is a great opportunity to outshine Jiang Chuwei.

"Rou'er, study hard, and Grandmother will be satisfied." Lu Yanke held Qiao Xuerou's hand tightly.

He was very satisfied.

Jiang Chuwei's willingness to teach meant she accepted Rou'er.

Rou'er will also share in the credit for the two of them taking care of their grandmother in the future.

Qiao Xuerou deliberately raised her hand and waved it provocatively at Jiang Chuwei.

Jiang Chuwei remained expressionless.

Lu Yanke looked at it, feeling a little disappointed.

Shouldn't she be jealous?

Why do you have such an indifferent expression?

"Help your grandmother!"

Granny Wu rushed over.

She now sees clearly that in this family, no matter how unfavored the Crown Prince's wife is, she is still no match for Qiao Xuerou.

At this moment, the old lady's headache became more and more severe.

Jiang Chuwei pinpointed the acupoint: "Watch closely, the position can't be off."

Qiao Xuerou was also looking at it carefully at this moment.

Even Lu Yanke watched along with them.

He worried that Rou'er might make a mistake and be punished by her grandmother.

Jiang Chuwei finished the acupuncture quickly, and the old lady felt much better.

"This family can't function without Wei'er." The old lady sighed sincerely at this moment.
