Chapter 199 This girl doesn't like green tea.
Jiang Wan Ning turned to look at Chen Ru Zhi and said to the woman, "She is not the person you are looking for."
She and Shen Ruzhi grew up together, and she knew better than anyone whether or not she had a birthmark.
Apart from a scar on her waist from a fall on a rock when she was a child, Shen Ruzhi has no other birthmarks.
A hint of disappointment flashed in the woman's eyes as she turned and slowly walked into the house.
Jiang Wan Ning followed them inside with the medicine box, while the others looked completely bewildered.
The woman lay on the bed as Jiang Wan Ning performed acupuncture on her, murmuring, "But she looks a lot like the Empress."
“There are many similar people in this world. I’ve even seen two people who look seven or eight points alike.”
"But they have no relation whatsoever. Although Zhizhi was adopted, she doesn't have the plum blossom birthmark you mentioned."
"There is only one scar on my lower back."
"Could it be...?"
Jiang Wan Ning interrupted the woman, "I know what you want to say."
"You were wondering if there was a birthmark where the injury occurred, but there isn't."
The glimmer of light that had ignited in the woman's eyes dimmed again.
The room was dark and her eyesight was poor, so she couldn't see clearly, but once she stepped out of the yard, it looked so much like the real person.
Even the way they speak is similar, but it turns out they aren't.
After Jiang Wan Ning finished administering the acupuncture, she wiped her hands with a handkerchief. "The toxins in the body need to be treated with acupuncture every three days."
"If I have time, I will come in person. If I don't have time, go to the free clinic. My people are there and they won't tell anyone about your situation."
After giving her instructions, Jiang Wan Ning turned and left the room.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, Mo Ran stepped forward to report, "Your Highness, someone from the manor just sent a letter saying that Her Majesty the Empress has left the palace."
Jiang Wan Ning had forgotten about this.
"Just the Empress alone?"
"The Empress's younger sister, Song Zhuran, also went along, and they are almost at the Marquis's residence now."
"knew."
The group arrived at the Marquis's residence. Shen Ruzhi, disliking such occasions, took Chun Tao and left first to find Yu Hai for hot pot.
"What name did Jiang Wanru give you? From now on, you should still call me by my real name, Guanqi," Shen Ruzhi said as she walked.
"There's only one thing you must remember when you're with me: I don't like green tea bitches."
"Miss, you don't like tea?"
Sinking like a branch...
"Just don't be like your previous master."
The term Yu Hai invented is something that no normal person has ever heard of.
Jiang Wan Ning watched the two leave, then turned and walked towards the Marquis's residence.
When they arrived at the Marquis's residence, the Empress and Song Zhuran were already there, and Lady Wang had also been summoned.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Empress." Jiang Wanning bowed to Empress Song Zhuyi, who was seated at the head of the table.
"Princess Consort of Langya, you need not stand on ceremony. This is a private visit of mine, so there is no need for formalities," the Empress said with a smile. "Just treat me like an ordinary person."
"yes."
Zhou and Wang nodded in agreement.
Although the Empress said so, no one was foolish enough to actually believe it.
"Please take a seat." The Empress pointed to the seat closest to her.
As the Princess Consort of Langya, it wouldn't be inappropriate for her to sit there, but Jiang Wan Ning didn't want to sit above her mother.
Looking around, he saw Song Zhuran smiling and waving at him.
"I am very fond of Miss Song and would like to sit with her."
Empress Song Zhuyi was naturally delighted, "This little girl has even won over the heart of the Princess of Langya."
"I have come today to see Lady Hou and Lady Shen."
"I don't have much time in the palace on weekdays, and since His Majesty is considerate of the hardships you two have endured during your pregnancies, he sent me to visit you."
"Your Majesty and Your Highness are too kind to worry about this," said Madam Zhou.
The Empress took a sip of tea and glanced at Jiang Wan Ning.
Just as Jiang Wanning was about to speak, Song Zhuran stood up and said, "Sister, I'd like Sister Jiang to accompany me for a stroll."
"Please, please." Seeing that the Empress remained silent, Song Zhuran stepped forward, grabbed the Empress's hand, and shook it while pleading.
The Empress smiled helplessly, "Go ahead, but don't go too far."
"So that I won't be unable to find you later."
"I know!" Song Zhuran jumped up happily.
The Empress felt a pang of regret. She had originally intended to take this opportunity to ask Jiang Wan Ning about her health, but she had felt that Jiang Wan Ning had something she hadn't said.
The reason he left the palace wasn't simply to share in the joy, but for other reasons.
However, Ranran disrupted the plan, so they had to wait until next time.
"Sister Jiang, let's go! I heard you opened a hot pot restaurant and it's doing really well. I want to try it out." Song Zhuran ran up to Jiang Wanning.
He held Jiang Wan Ning's hand and said.
Jiang Wan Ning smiled and stood up, bowing to the Empress. "It just so happens that I have prepared some gifts for Your Majesty."
"I'll have someone send some over to Your Majesty in a bit. It's just some snacks from my humble shop; I hope Your Majesty won't find them offensive."
Zhou originally wanted to say that the Marquis's mansion still had those snacks, so there was no need to make the trip, but then she felt that Ningning had other intentions, so she remained silent.
The Empress smiled and said, "I've long heard that Princess Langya's business is booming, especially that hot pot restaurant. I've wanted to try it for a long time."
"It seems I am in for a treat today."
After the Empress finished speaking, Song Zhuran grabbed Jiang Wanning and left impatiently.
The two headed straight for the hot pot restaurant.
Upon arriving at the hot pot restaurant, Song Zhuyi looked at the decorations with curiosity, "I didn't know there was such a way to eat it."
"My parents won't let me leave the manor, probably because they're afraid all this delicious food will spoil my palate," Song Zhuyi said jokingly.
"Sister Jiang, shall we sit there?"
Song Zhuyi pointed to the window seat on the second floor.
"Ningning, what brings you here?" Shen Ruzhi emerged from behind, carrying a plate of cold dishes with dipping sauce. "Didn't you go back to the Marquis's residence?"
After speaking, he glanced at Song Zhuran standing beside him, "This is..."
Shen Ruzhi's eyes widened. "Your Majesty the Empress?"
Song Zhuran chuckled. "This must be Sister Shen. I'm Song Zhuran."
“This is the Empress’s sister,” Jiang Wan Ning explained. “She wanted to come and have hot pot.”
"Sister Chen, why don't we go together?"
As Song Zhuran spoke, she grabbed Chen Ruzhi's wrist and asked, "Where is my sister's seat?"
Shen Ruzhi turned to look at Jiang Wanning, her face full of doubt. Wasn't this woman so impolite and overly familiar?
Jiang Wan Ning smiled helplessly and followed.
Song Zhuran seemed curious about everything. If Jiang Wanning didn't know that Young Master Xuan was her, she would really think that she was just curious about everything because she had been cooped up at home for a long time.
"Ningning, didn't you say you were going to get something for Her Majesty the Empress?"
Shen Ruzhi said, "Why don't you go first, and we can eat another day?"
Shen Ruzhi simply didn't want to eat with strangers.
"How is Her Majesty the Empress's health?"
“Sister is alright. Sister Jiang has already taken her pulse, and there are so many imperial physicians as well,” Song Zhuran said first.
