Chapter 161 Sowing Dissension
After many years, Xiao Wanzhen was reportedly pregnant again!
No one believed it and thought it was a lie that Xiao Wanzhen deliberately made up to save the situation.
The Lu family once again invited the imperial physician to take Xiao Wanzhen's pulse, and every imperial physician gave the same result, which was undoubtedly a slippery pulse.
The concubine who had just been brought back to the mansion was dumbfounded, and those who were waiting to see Xiao Wanzhen make a fool of herself also gave up their thoughts.
Madam Lu's attitude towards her changed instantly and she spared her from punishment. However, because she was still young and not suitable for heavy work, the household chores were still handed over to Qian.
Xiao Wanzhen touched her belly, feeling dazed.
She was actually pregnant? It seemed even God was on his side!
When she looked at Zhao Shuning again, her eyes had changed. She originally only had a little trust in him, but now she regarded him as her confidant.
"Ms. Zhao, you are indeed a skilled doctor. I was not wrong about you. This princess will definitely reward you handsomely!"
Zhao Shuning showed humility, "It is all thanks to the princess's great blessing. I am just doing my humble part."
Xiao Wanzhen shook her head. "You are indeed an extraordinary doctor. There is no need to be modest. Can you tell whether I am carrying a boy or a girl?"
Zhao Shuning shook her head, "Princess, your period is still young, so I can't diagnose you yet."
Xiao Wanzhen felt a little disappointed, but she quickly regained her spirits.
Since she was able to conceive this child, it meant that there was nothing wrong with her body, and she would definitely be able to conceive more children in the future.
That concubine's son was of humble origin, what could he possibly achieve? She would just wait until her own son was born and then take care of him.
Zhao Shuning said respectfully, "Princess, I would like to treat Miss Lu's facial injuries. Please allow me to do so."
Xiao Wanzhen was stunned. Thinking of the scolding she had received from Lu Shiyin in the past few days, a gloom filled her heart.
Lu Shiyin's face was disfigured and she could not be a candidate for the prince's consort, so Xiao Wanzhen was naturally happy to see it happen.
She didn't want her brother to marry such a spoiled ancestor.
Besides, since she was already a wife of the Lu family, there was really no need for Yan Qing to marry into the Lu family and waste an opportunity to win over people through marriage.
But the bad thing is that her injury was caused by herself.
If I don't heal her injury, she will hate me for the rest of her life. With her whispering in her parents-in-law's ears, I will cause a lot of trouble for myself.
"Do you have a way to heal her injury?"
Zhao Shuning didn't say anything final, "Perhaps your wife can give it a try."
Xiao Wanzhen nodded in agreement.
Lu Shiyin spent the whole day in the room smashing things, beating and scolding the maid, and her temper was even more violent than before.
When she heard that Zhao Shuning came to treat her injuries, she cursed and told him to get out.
The nurse tried to persuade her, "Miss, even if you're angry with the princess, you can't joke with your own face. It's true that Zhao is the princess's lover, but her medical skills are also very impressive. Otherwise, the princess wouldn't have recovered so quickly and conceived a child."
After hearing this, Lu Shiyin finally nodded in agreement reluctantly.
Lu Shiyin looked at Zhao Shuning seriously for the first time. How could such an ordinary person really be so capable?
"Look carefully at me. If you can't heal my injury, I won't forgive you!"
Zhao Shuning responded modestly.
Lu Shiyin spoke toughly, but in fact she was very nervous.
After examining the wound, Zhao Shuning gave a very affirmative answer, "Although your wound is long, it is not deep. The injury was not long ago, and the medication was used very promptly. I am confident that I can make Miss Lu recover as before."
Lu Shiyin's eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"
"Of course I wouldn't dare lie to Miss Lu. My sect has a secret medicine called Ice Skin Jade Dew Cream, which is very effective for this type of injury."
"Can you recover in time for the selection of concubines?"
Zhao Shuning shook his head slowly, "It will take at least a month."
The light in Lu Shiyin's eyes instantly went out, and the hatred in her heart towards Xiao Wanzhen emerged again.
If it weren't for her, how could I have been disfigured?
While Zhao Shuning was applying medicine to her, he looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lu Shiyin frowned. "What do you want to say? Is there something wrong with this medicine?"
Zhao Shuning immediately shook his head. "Of course not. I was just thinking of something else. But Miss Lu will definitely not like to hear this, so I'd better not say it."
Lu Shiyin's curiosity had been piqued, and she said unhappily, "Why are you hesitating? Just say what you want to say. I command you to say it!"
Zhao Shuning gritted his teeth and then spoke.
"I overheard the Fourth Princess and her maid mention that the Sixth Prince seemed to be interested in Princess Pingle and wanted to choose her as his consort."
"What!"
Lu Shiyin was so shocked that she slammed the table and stood up. Her face was distorted with anger, and the scar on her face made her look even more hideous.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could the Sixth Prince fall for a divorced woman like that?"
Zhao Shuning added fuel to the fire, "But she has an alluring appearance and a wealthy family..."
Lu Shiyin felt a pang in her heart.
Attractive good looks and a wealthy family.
These two advantages are undeniable, but so what? She's been married before!
"Impossible, I don't believe it. The Sixth Prince is not such a superficial person!"
Superficial? The Sixth Prince is not superficial. He is smarter than anyone else.
Zhao Shuning quickly changed the subject, "Miss Lu is right, maybe I heard it wrongly, just treat it as nonsense and don't take it to heart."
Zhao Shuning stopped talking and just focused on applying medicine to her.
She has already made enough efforts, how could Lu Shiyin not take it to heart?
Lu Shiyin's mind uncontrollably recalled what happened on the day of the flower viewing banquet.
At that time, Xiao Yanqing protected Lu Zhiran in every possible way, and even went to the palace to ask for permission to marry her without hesitation!
Later he found out that he had saved the wrong person and was obviously very disappointed.
All these performances prove what Zhao Shuning said.
It would be fine if she had no chance of becoming the Sixth Prince's consort, but how could she watch that fallen beauty enter her house?
A fierce look flashed in Lu Shiyin's eyes, "What I can't have, I can't let that bitch get it!"
Wouldn't everything be solved if Lu Zhiran could just be disfigured like himself?
Zhao Shuning looked at the fierce look in Lu Shiyin's eyes and smiled gently.
With Lu Shiyin taking action, she didn't have to do anything but hide in the dark and watch the show.
As soon as Zhao Shuning left, another uninvited guest arrived.
Lu Shiyin was like a furious cat, "What are you doing here?"
Xiao Baozhu looked at her sympathetically and said, "I came to see you."
Lu Shiyin didn't believe it at all, "You are clearly here to laugh at me!"
Xiao Baozhu pulled out a bottle of medicine from her sleeve. "You're really ungrateful. Here, this is the beauty cream Ah Sheng prepared for me. It's very effective in removing scars. I had a cut on my forehead before, but after using this medicine, there's not even a scar left."
Lu Shiyin looked at her suspiciously, "Are you so kind?"
Xiao Baozhu said with a serious expression, "Although we have a feud, we are both women. I know how precious a woman's appearance is, so I naturally wouldn't joke about something like this."
