Chapter 104: Soft Spot

Chu Zhenxuan's expression changed and his eyes shifted to the side.

Xia Xue felt something was wrong, but she turned around to look.

Qingping had no idea what was going on. When he saw the mess on the ground, his face immediately turned red and he looked at everyone with embarrassment.

Several maids rushed over very tactfully and started cleaning immediately.

But after Qingping vomited, she felt her stomach churning even more. Before the maids had finished dealing with her, Qingping vomited again, and this time she could no longer control herself.

This time, the wife of Marquis Dingbei's eyes were filled with pride.

Yes, Xia Xue could see that it was the kind of pride that comes from a successful conspiracy.

The wife of Marquis Dingbei raised her eyebrows and raised her voice by eight octaves. "What happened to the princess? She was fine just now. Could it be that she has some hidden illness?"

When Qing Ping heard the wife of Marquis Dingbei who had just said that she liked him, his expression changed immediately and his words became sharp, with a look of grievance immediately appearing in his eyes.

"Madam, you are worrying too much. Anyone would feel uncomfortable after drinking so many glasses of wine. Juqian Juping, please help the princess go downstairs to rest." Xia Xue knew in her heart that the wife of Marquis Dingbei would not let Qingping leave easily, but she still wanted to give it a try.

Although others didn't know Xia Xue's identity, Ju Qian knew it, so she nodded quickly and went to help Qing Ping.

Qing Ping looked at Xia Xue gratefully, feeling mixed emotions. She herself had never been good at socializing, but she never thought that the Prime Minister's wife would stand up for her.

"I think we should wait. Since everyone is here and Qingping seems to be feeling unwell, why not find a doctor to see him?" Lady Dingbei Marquis interrupted Xia Xue.

"Madam gave too much wine and drank too much. What does Madam want to diagnose? Or does Madam have a good idea that the princess may have some hidden illness? Or is that what Madam hopes for?" Xia Xue laughed out loud as she spoke.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Why would I want my future daughter-in-law to have problems? Stop accusing me of something!" Lady Dingbei Marquis glared at Xia Xue fiercely.

"Then can't you see that the princess is feeling very uncomfortable because she drank too much of the wine you sent her? Isn't it right to send the princess downstairs to rest now? But you insist on letting the imperial physician diagnose her. What's your intention?" Xia Xue asked back.

"I am just afraid that the princess has some hidden illness. Our Du'er is the only son in our family, and we absolutely cannot marry a daughter-in-law with a hidden illness. I can see that you are not a mother and cannot understand the feelings of a mother!" said the wife of Marquis Dingbei.

The words "not being a mother" actually touched Xia Xue's sore spot. Xia Xue had really wanted to be a mother recently, and the idea was getting stronger and stronger. Unfortunately, she couldn't. She didn't know in which world in the future, when her level was higher, would she have the chance to be a mother again? But now Bibi meant that at her current level, she couldn't be a mother in the short term.

Seeing Xia Xue's gloomy expression, Lady Dingbei finally felt that she had turned the tables. "Sir Governor, you have a doctor in your house, and I believe the princess should have an imperial physician by her side. If that doesn't work, we also have an imperial physician from our Southern Kingdom in our wedding procession."

Mrs. Dingbei Marquis said it very clearly. If you don’t hire a doctor, we will bring our own.

"Madam, you are so thoughtful that you have already prepared the imperial physician when you came to pick up the bride." Xia Xue said jokingly.

The wife of Marquis Dingbei snorted coldly and didn't say anything else. If she continued, she would probably be so angry that she would die.

Ouyang Du was watching with joy from the side. Finally, someone could control his arrogant and domineering mother. It would be interesting if he could marry her.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze shooting at him like a knife. Ouyang Du looked in the direction of the gaze. It was the Prime Minister of Da'an!

Ouyang Du slightly curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled back.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. This young prime minister of Da'an is still very well-known. His influence in Da'an is definitely no less than that of my father. So even if I don't marry Qingping, it's best not to make enemies with him. After all, future major events still require the support of some forces in Da'an.

Chu Zhenxuan ignored him, with a warning still in his eyes.

Ouyang Du frowned and simply ignored him. They had just arrived in Ningzhou and there was no way they could offend him. What did Prime Minister Chu's look mean?

The governor was in a dilemma. He had no choice but to ask Chu Zhenxuan, "Prime Minister, what do you think we should do?"

"Of course, we should help the princess go down to rest." Chu Zhenxuan's eyes were cold, which made the governor nervous.

"Yes, yes!" the governor responded quickly.

When Juqian heard what the Prime Minister said, she immediately helped Qingping up, while Juping, who was standing beside her, grabbed Juqian's arm and said, "The princess has been feeling unwell for a few days. It would be a good idea to ask a doctor to come and see her."

"Doctor Xia and Doctor Zuo are both here. We can just ask them to come and take a look later. Why are you making such a fuss?" Ju Qian said in a low voice.

"Look, the princess's personal maid said she needed to see it. Your Excellency, you are deliberately blocking us. Is there really something you don't want us in the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion to know? After all, there are many people from both countries here today. We in the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion will not accept your partiality." The wife of the Dingbei Marquis was aggressive.

"Conviction is up to you or not!" Xia Xue snorted coldly, "Juqian, help the princess down." Xia Xue glanced at Juping coldly. There was something wrong with this girl.

"You!" Lady Dingbei Hou had never suffered such an injustice before. Her eyes immediately turned red. She raised her hand and stepped forward to hit Xia Xue.

Chu Zhenxuan stood in front of Xia Xue, but before he could make a move, a figure came up even faster and slapped the wife of Marquis Dingbei in the face several times.

When everyone heard this voice, they were all stunned.

Dingbei Hou:!!!

Fourth Master?

Someone said something, and everyone could see clearly that the figure rushing up was actually the sloppy Fourth Master.

The governor was very upset. How could things become like this before the formalities were even performed?

Marquis Dingbei was also a martial artist. Although he couldn't stand the mouth of Marquis Dingbei's wife, if someone hit his wife in the face in public, it was equivalent to hitting him in the face, so he started fighting with Yang Junyi without saying a word.

But after just a few moves, it was obvious that he was defeated.

Dingbei Hou panted and winked at Ouyang Du.

Ouyang Du also felt that his mother was quite shameful. She was ruthless in her words and deeds, and did not have the bearing of a marquis' wife at all. But what could he do? She was his mother, and it was really shameful that his mother was beaten in front of him.

But the martial arts of the man in front of him was definitely better than his, and not just a little bit. He couldn't see his moves or techniques at all. Even if he fought, it would be embarrassing.

"Mom, calm down. Isn't today a good day? Have you forgotten what you came here for?"

On the surface, everyone thought that what Ouyang Du meant was that we are here to pick up the bride, not to cause trouble, and harmony is the most important thing in all things, so don't put the cart before the horse.

But the real meaning of this statement was to remind Lady Dingbei Marquis what the purpose of their visit was. The plan had not yet been implemented, so how could they let others disrupt the rhythm?

Upon hearing this, Xia Xue looked at Marquis Dingbei. Ouyang Du did not "remind" Marquis Dingbei just now. Does that mean that this conspiracy was designed by Marquis Dingbei's wife and Ouyang Du's mother, and Marquis Dingbei didn't know about it?

If that's true, we've found their weak spot.
