Chapter 208 Ye Susu also has her own plans
Aunt Liu was so angry that her teeth itched. She wanted to say that her biological mother was just a concubine, and she only became a legitimate daughter because she was raised under the name of the First Madam. However, when she thought that she really couldn't afford to offend Su Tingwan, she didn't say much. "If Miss Wan has nothing else to say, I'll go back first. Your father is waiting for me to serve him."
"Go find my maid, where the hell is she? Tell her to get over here." Then, remembering that Ginkgo was also dirty, she added, "Tell her to wash up before she gets over here."
Aunt Liu said, "I just heard the water carriers say that Physician Ye asked them to carry water. Your maid should have been arranged by someone."
Su Tingwan frowned. "The woman in the prince's tent?"
"Yes," said Aunt Liu. "It seems the concubine has a rival. That girl is really beautiful, and Prince Heng treats her quite well; he seems to like her a lot."
"Has she been serving the prince the whole way?" Su Tingwan asked.
Aunt Liu said, “When your father received the Emperor’s summons to return to the capital, I went with the general to return to the capital with the army. I heard that many doctors came from the capital, and Ye Susu was one of them. When I arrived, she was already taking care of Prince Heng. She served him tea and water, bandaged his wounds and changed his dressings. She was very attentive. Miss Wan should prepare early. Once a man has a new favorite, he will forget his old love.”
The reason she told Su Tingwan all this was that no matter how much she disliked Su Tingwan, she had no choice but to submit, since she and Su Tingwan were on the same side, and only when the Su family was doing well could she do better.
Su Tingwan sneered, "He has already fallen for someone else. Ye Susu is just another woman he likes."
Aunt Liu frowned. "It seems Miss Wan isn't happy living in Shengjing either!" She had thought Prince Heng would dote on her.
Aunt Liu thought: Su Tingwan was able to marry a prince, so she should try to curry favor with her and hopefully get her to promote her daughter in the future.
So, Aunt Liu took the initiative to walk up to Su Tingwan, took the comb from her hand, and combed her hair. "You've suffered so much outside, your little face is all chafed, it really breaks my heart."
Su Tingwan looked at herself in the mirror and saw that she looked completely different from when she was at the Prince Heng's residence. She felt extremely wronged. She could have returned to the border with Xie Shang, but she was left in the palace because Empress Cheng was ill.
By the time she was able to leave the capital, Xie Shang had already reached the border. She was traveling alone and was deceived again. Those damned swindlers, if she ever encountered them again, she would tear them to pieces.
Seeing her looking worried, Aunt Liu said with concern, "Tomorrow I'll have someone buy you some pretty clothes. Don't think about unhappy things. As for that Physician Ye, don't take her to heart. She's just an orphan. If she dares to steal your man, she'll be in big trouble."
Su Tingwan said, "She's not worthy of my attention. I'm thinking about another woman, a woman who has captivated the prince. Now she's pregnant with the prince's child, and the prince dotes on her like the apple of his eye."
She thought Xie Shang only loved her, but the moment he saw Jiang Fenghua, he was completely captivated. The key point was that in the two years she had been with Xie Shang, he had never shown her such tenderness.
"Who is Miss Wan referring to?"
"Who else could it be but Princess Consort Jiang Fenghua? He clearly fell in love with me, Su Tingwan, first, but..." She felt heartbroken at the thought of her utter defeat.
When Aunt Liu saw that she was angry, she felt the same way as other people's concubines. The general had countless wives and concubines, but the general's only proper wife was the first wife. If they did not use all their skills, it would be difficult for them to gain a foothold in the Su family.
Even the reason she was able to be kept by the general's side was because she had her own set of rules, plus her exceptional beauty.
She asked, "Is Princess Heng really that beautiful?"
Being beautiful is a woman's most important weapon. Su Tingwan is quite good-looking, and it wouldn't be a problem for her to bewitch a man. If she uses some tricks, being favored by him would be no problem.
Given the Su family's background, Su Tingwan could have easily married Prince Heng and become his princess. Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on her!
Su Tingwan wanted to say, "What's so beautiful about her? She's just like everyone else." But when she thought of Jiang Fenghua, whose every smile and frown was so beautiful and charming, even when she was pregnant, she couldn't help but wonder what she ate to grow up like that.
She tried to emulate Jiang Fenghua, thinking that if she could become an elegant and dignified woman like her, Xie Shang would like her. But she seemed to be wrong again. No matter how hard she tried, Xie Shang liked Jiang Fenghua.
"Miss Wan, don't be discouraged. Besides your beauty, you also have luck, and even children. You can get pregnant with his child. With a child by your side, it's impossible for Prince Heng not to dote on you."
Aunt Liu was teaching her entirely based on experience, because in the Su family, everyone who had children had a status and received more monthly pay than those who hadn't.
As for those women without children, they might be given away one day.
Su Tingwan said, "How could I not have thought of this? That's why I started trying to have a child from the beginning. But Xie Shang had very few opportunities to touch me, while Jiang Fenghua got there first and became pregnant."
"Oh dear, you're just unlucky... you didn't get pregnant the few times you tried."
"Yes, I'm just unlucky." She patted her stomach. "I clearly..." In her dream, she gave birth to a daughter, and Xie Shang doted on her. She didn't dare tell Aunt Liu this.
Aunt Liu whispered, "You can't get pregnant and you don't even try to find a way. Aren't you stupid?"
"What method?" Su Tingwan really hadn't thought of that.
"If you can't get pregnant, then borrow a sperm donor!" Aunt Liu's words were like a wake-up call.
Su Tingwan said, "Auntie means I can't have a child with another man... No, if Xie Shang finds out I'm finished. I don't want to have a child with anyone else. If I'm going to have a child, it will be with a handsome man like Xie Shang."
"Shh! Keep your voice down."
Aunt Liu continued, "You've been with Prince Heng for over three years, and there's still no sign of pregnancy. Is there something wrong with your health that makes you unable to have children?"
"Impossible. Before I married into the Prince's mansion, both I and Prince Heng were innocent. He is a gentleman, and I cannot be too dissolute." She did give birth in her dream, and she remembers what the child looks like very clearly. Besides, she was going to be Prince Heng's wife, so she did not have an illegitimate child with him.
“What gentleman? I think he just doesn’t love you that much, that’s why he doesn’t want to touch you,” Aunt Liu said, cutting to the heart.
Su Tingwan suddenly thought of Ji Chen. Apart from Xie Shang, Ji Chen was the only one who treated her the best. Ji Chen had feelings for her and liked her, but she had politely rejected him. So later, she and he became sworn siblings.
Now that Ji Chen is dead, no one is genuinely kind to her anymore, and Xie Shang doesn't really like her that much anymore.
Aunt Liu, of course, did not know that she was thinking of another man. She thought she was heartbroken and said, "My silly girl Wan, what love? Women who beg for a man's love are the most foolish. It's all fake. You should think about what is most beneficial to you now. Fortunately, you have found him. Why not take this time to spend some time with Prince Heng and get pregnant as soon as possible?"
Aunt Liu gave her another suggestion. Actually, Su Tingwan had thought the same thing at first, but man proposes, God disposes. This time, she must seize this opportunity.
She had no idea that Ye Susu had tricked Yinxing into revealing all her secrets. At this moment, Ye Susu also had her own plans.
She hadn't had a chance to get close to Prince Heng for a while, but now that she did, he was seriously injured. After he recovered, Consort Su came back, so she had even less of a chance.
It seems that only by letting Prince Heng know that Consort Su was sold into a brothel and making him despise her will I have a chance, right?
Prince Heng was already attracted to her; all she needed was an opportunity to become his woman.
