Chapter 207 Consort Su is too smelly, everyone dislikes her and tells her to get out of the way.
Ye Susu had heard of this concubine, the prince's favorite person, but seeing the scene before her, she suddenly took a step back, covered her nose, and answered neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The prince was seriously injured, and I have been taking care of him during this time, responsible for changing his dressings and treating his wounds."
At this moment, Su Tingwan realized that Xie Shang was injured. She asked with concern, "Shang, are you hurt? Where are you hurt? Let me take a look..."
Xie Shang never expected Su Tingwan to turn out this way. He told her to stay in Shengjing, but she wouldn't listen and insisted on coming out, which is why she ended up in this state.
He said, "I'm almost healed. Even though I was hit by a hidden arrow, the wound is almost healed."
At this moment, Su Xuan and her father, General Su, also arrived at the camp, but they did not see Su Tingwan. "Where is Wanwan?"
Upon seeing her relatives, Su Tingwan's tears flowed again. "Daughter greets Father, elder brother, I am Wanwan..."
When they saw the person in front of them, they were instantly dumbfounded and asked in unison, "Wanwan? You are Wanwan?"
General Su brought his female relatives back to the capital, including his most beloved concubine, Consort Liu.
Aunt Liu had also heard that Miss Wan had arrived, and she ran over affectionately, "Where is Miss Wan? I haven't seen her in so long."
“Aunt Liu,” she said.
Aunt Liu was stunned. Who was this woman with rough skin, messy hair, and even lice?
Su Tingwan was the legitimate daughter registered under Madam Su's name, and could be considered Madam Su's daughter. She was also beautiful and quite favored in the Su family. Aunt Liu never expected that the bright and cheerful little girl would become a beggar.
For a moment, everyone was stunned. Xie Shang said with disdain, "Lin Feng, arrange for someone to light a fire and fetch water for Wanwan to bathe. She must have suffered a lot on this journey."
In front of the Su family, Xie Shang called out affectionately, but the disgust on her face was impossible to hide. It was just too smelly. Where did she crawl out of? How could she be like this?
Xie Shang only took a deep breath after Su Tingwan was led out of the tent; he had almost vomited when Su Tingwan climbed onto his lap earlier.
General Su has many daughters, and he doesn't particularly love Su Tingwan. He might show her more affection if she's useful, but now that she's in this state, he finds her repulsive and has taken Concubine Liu back to his own tent.
On the other side, Su Xuan brought Su Tingwan to his tent, also covering his nose in disgust, and asked her coldly, "Didn't she write in her letter saying she was coming to the border? How did she end up like this? And appearing before Prince Heng with this appearance, you..."
Su Tingwan wanted to cry again, "Big brother..."
"Don't come near me, can't you smell how smelly you are?" Su Xuan showed her no mercy whatsoever.
Su Tingwan said, "I was abducted after leaving Shengjing and haven't taken a bath since. It's too cold, so I probably got used to it and can't smell it."
So she recounted her journey from Shengjing once more.
Su Xuan found it unbelievable, "You were sold into a brothel by human traffickers..."
"Shh!" Su Tingwan said, "Keep your voice down. The prince doesn't know about this. I didn't dare tell him. I only told him about being kidnapped by bandits."
"Have you lost your virginity?" Su Xuan asked her coldly.
Su Tingwan quickly shook her head, "No, they wanted that, but I threatened to kill myself, so they didn't dare. I promise I haven't lost my innocence."
Hearing this, Su Xuan asked in disbelief, "How is that possible? They imprisoned you for two months, and then Prince Heng won a battle and returned to the capital, allowing you to escape." She feared that the people she encountered weren't real bandits.
The bandits were vicious and ruthless, committing murder, robbery, and kidnapping of innocent women. It was strange that her guards were killed as soon as they left the capital, while she and her maid were spared.
Su Tingwan wanted to say something, but Su Xuan said, "Go and clean yourself up first. Judging from the way Prince Heng acted just now, he didn't say he didn't want you. Be smart."
If she has lost her virginity, how could Xie Shang possibly keep her by his side? It seems the Su family will have to find someone else to take over the Prince Heng's residence. They have already received news that the Emperor will make Prince Heng the Crown Prince.
After having that dream, Su Tingwan didn't send the news back to the Su family. She planned to tell them in person when she got to the border. She didn't expect to encounter those things on the way. She didn't know that the Su family had already abandoned her.
The Su family made the right move by sending Su Tingwan to get close to Xie Shang, but they didn't expect her to be so stupid.
Su Tingwan also sensed her father's disgust. She knew that as long as her elder brother and father knew that she would become empress in the future, the Su family would rise to a higher level because of her status, and the Su family would continue to support her.
Before Su Tingwan could explain these things, Su Xuan had already left the tent. There was no other way now; she had come temporarily, so he could only let her use his tent to take a bath.
Yinxing had been following Su Tingwan, and now she was finally able to eat. She happened to run into the soldiers eating, and without any hesitation, she began to feast.
The soldiers who arrested her were puzzled. "Was that woman really the prince's concubine? How did you find your way here? What happened? Why are you in such a sorry state?"
Having received food and finding these people so kind, Yinxing recounted her experiences on the road, looking pitiful. However, she had followed Su Tingwan's instructions and did not mention that they had been sold into a brothel, otherwise they would never have been able to return to the Hengwang Mansion.
Ye Susu also came over. After hearing Yinxing's story, she felt suspicious. The two had the same experience, said the same things, and even used the same words. It was clear that they had practiced beforehand.
She said calmly, "Why do you have so many injuries? Have a meal and take a bath. I'll apply some medicine for you. I'm a female healer, and my surname is Ye."
Ginkgo was moved to tears, "Thank you, Doctor Ye."

Su Tingwan didn't know how many times she washed herself before she was clean. She didn't expect that there were worms in her head. Now she felt like dying. Where did that brat Ginkgo go?
With no luggage and no change of clothes, Aunt Liu kindly found a set of her own clothes. Aunt Liu was in her thirties, and her clothes were all very bright and colorful. Su Tingwan looked somewhat out of place wearing them.
Aunt Liu was only able to deliver the clothes because Su Xuan had instructed her. When she saw Su Tingwan's appearance, she could only sneer. She probably didn't remember how arrogant Su Tingwan had been in front of the First Madam!
She sneered, "Didn't Miss Wan say she would never become someone's concubine? How did she end up like this?"
Su Tingwan thought that she would become empress sooner or later, but she couldn't say it to anyone now. She said, "I am Prince Heng's concubine, not a concubine. Sooner or later I will take back my position as the principal wife. Aunt Liu, stop mocking me in front of me. In terms of status, you couldn't afford to offend me before, and you can't afford to offend me now. My elder brother asked you to send me these clothes, right? They are a bit ugly, but I can still wear them."
