Chapter 243 Oh my God!
Guo Bingwen paused for a moment, then looked at Jiang Wanjun with deep affection, "That's not what I meant, Junjun, I really didn't mean that."
Jiang Wanjun took Guo Bingwen's hand in return and said softly, "I know."
"The prince is still in the front hall. You go and keep him company. My sister and I will chat for a while longer."
Guo Bingwen then stood up. "Alright, it's getting late. I'll go prepare dinner. We'll treat the Prince and Princess to a proper meal tonight."
Jiang Wanjun smiled and nodded.
Guo Bingwen gazed at Jiang Wanjun with deep affection a few times, turning back every three steps until he was out of Jiang Wanjun's sight, before quickly leaving.
As soon as Kwok Ping-man left, Peony said angrily, "Your Highness, guess what I found when I followed her out?"
Just now, when Shaoyao confronted Guo Bingwen, Jiang Wanning had already guessed that Shaoyao had discovered something else.
"What have you discovered?"
"When Guo Bingwen went out, he didn't go straight to buy Ruyi cake. Instead, he went to a mansion first and entered through the back door. He saw a woman wearing a bamboo hat, but I couldn't see who she was."
"I couldn't hear clearly what they said because they were too far away, but Guo Bingwen came out after a while,"
"However, that woman's figure seems familiar to me, as if I've seen her somewhere before."
"It seems he was in a hurry to buy things for Miss Junjun and didn't stay long. I'll go to that courtyard again in a bit to see if I can find out who that woman is."
"No need, I've already had Haitang investigate," Jiang Wanning said.
"So what do we do now?"
"Wait here." Jiang Wan Ning took a sip of tea. "Someone will be here soon."
Peony and Magnolia were puzzled when they heard the old lady's voice from outside, "Oh my goodness!"
"What sins have I committed?"
“My son doesn’t listen to me, and my daughter-in-law is so arrogant and domineering. I’ll just let you be the mother-in-law and I’ll be the daughter-in-law.”
The old lady walked up to Jiang Wanjun, plopped down on the ground, and slapped her thighs, exclaiming, "My goodness!"
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Wanjun quickly gestured to Bai Lan to help her up.
But the old lady used to be a farmer and was incredibly strong. With just a light flick, she threw Bai Lan away. "You...you...what do you want to do?"
"No respect for elders! No respect for elders!"
The old woman next to the old lady quickly said, "Oh my lady, you're sick and you're not resting at home. You insist on going back. Is it because you think our Guo family hasn't taken good care of you?"
"Tell me, if you insist on going back, what will your in-laws say about the Guo family? Will the young master's reputation be ruined in the future?"
"If this young master passes the imperial examination and becomes an official in the future, and someone were to leak this information, it would ruin the young master and the entire Guo family!"
The old woman continued, "Madam, you've already married into the Guo family. Even if you die, you'll still be a member of the Guo family. You can't do this."
"You should listen to me and stay at home to recover. It's not too late to go back when you're almost fully recovered."
Jiang Wanjun coughed in a panic after being disturbed like this.
Jiang Wan Ning stepped forward to comfort her and said to the old woman, "Whatever you say makes sense, if that's the case, then I'll write a letter and ask my uncle and aunt to come over tomorrow."
"This way, we won't leave any ammunition for others to talk about."
The old lady and her maid were taken aback. The old lady nodded. "This method seems to work."
The old woman quickly whispered, "Madam, you're being foolish. If your in-laws come and see you like this, what will they do?"
“Madam is an only child, and her parents cherish her dearly. They will surely blame the young master for not informing us earlier and for not taking good care of her.”
The old woman lowered her voice further, "If the young master's affair with that woman is discovered again, this old servant doesn't think the princess is easy to fool."
Upon hearing this, the quiet space that had just been filled with the old lady was shattered again by a sharp scream, "My God!"
"I thought I would marry a docile and obedient wife, but who knew that the daughter of a wealthy family would be like this."
"If I had known, I would have rather died than agree to this marriage."
"Cough cough...cough cough cough...mother-in-law...you...ugh~"
Jiang Wanjun was alarmed and spat out a mouthful of blood, the color of which was so dark it was almost black. Bai Lan was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward to support Jiang Wanjun, "Madam, are you alright?"
Bai Lan was so anxious that tears streamed down her face. Jiang Wan Ning took out a small white porcelain bottle from her waist and poured out a red pill the size of a soybean.
He fed the medicine to Jiang Wanjun with tea, and then took her pulse by holding her wrist.
As Jiang Wan Ning released Jiang Wan Jun's wrist, Bai Lan anxiously asked, "Your Highness, how is my lady?"
"Don't worry, spitting out this blood will actually be good for her health."
When the old lady saw Jiang Wanjun spit out blood, she was so frightened that she quickly stood up, clenched her hands tightly together, and hid behind the old woman with her head down.
Like a child who has done something wrong.
Upon hearing Jiang Wanning say that this was a good thing for Jiang Wanjun, she straightened her back, put her hands on her hips, and said, "Look, look."
"His body is so weak, and he's been outside for so long. It must be because he's been exposed to the wind for too long."
"Bai Lan, you little slut, hurry up and help your wife back to her room to rest."
"The Princess said that Madam needs more ventilation." Bai Lan didn't care about anything else and directly retorted, "Madam was clearly angered by you."
"You little slut," the old lady rolled up her sleeves, "You're even lecturing your master now? Be careful, or I'll sell you off."
“I was brought here by the madam, and it’s up to her to decide whether to sell me or not, not you,” Bai Lan retorted.
"Oh my god!" The old lady stomped her feet in anger and pointed at Jiang Wan Ning, saying, "Although she is a princess, she is still so young, and it's obvious that she has never had a child."
"What could she possibly understand? We all went through the same thing back then. I was doing it all for her own good. Even if I didn't like her spoiled attitude, I didn't hold any grudges against my grandson."
"Does my wife want my Guo family line to end?"
"I see that's what you're thinking. You think that once my wife dies, you can marry someone else and then seize my wife's property."
"This...this..." The old lady glanced at the servant woman beside her and muttered softly, "How did she know?"
"Didn't Bingwen say that nobody else knew about this except us?"
The old woman lowered her voice, "They must be trying to trick us on purpose, Madam. Please don't fall for it."
The old lady nodded upon hearing this, "You're right."
He muttered under his breath, "I knew this was a terrible thing to do. Why not just divorce him? Why make him so sick? What is Bingwen doing?"
