Chapter 99 What an idiot
Jiang shouted angrily, "What are you going to do?"
Zhao Shuning put the lunch box on the table and said, "I'll take the food to my mother."
She took out bowls of food from the lunch box. The rotten food formed a sharp contrast with the delicacies on the table.
Chu Yunqing cursed, "You sent rotten food to my mother, what are you thinking?"
Zhao Shuning looked at her coldly, "You knew this was rotten? Then what was your intention in having the kitchen send me food that even dogs wouldn't eat?"
Chu Yunqing's expression froze for a moment, then he stiffened his neck and spoke in a vicious tone.
"You are now a criminal of the Marquis' Mansion. The fact that the Marquis' Mansion is willing to give you a bite to eat is already extremely kind. What qualifications do you have to be picky?"
Zhao Shuning smiled sinisterly.
"It seems that if the tiger doesn't show its might, you all will think I'm a sick cat!"
Meeting her gaze, Jiang felt a little wary and a little annoyed.
"Zhao, what do you want?"
"I don't want anything. I just want to live a good life. If you can't even do that, then we might as well not live anymore."
Her tone was calm, but there was madness in her eyes.
Jiang's eyes were filled with sternness. "Don't try to scare me with those words. Who do you think you are now? Do you really think you can turn the tide?"
This bitch caused her An'er to be demoted. How could she swallow this?
The Marquis's Mansion was extremely kind in providing her with food and drink. What right did she have to be picky?
Zhao Shuning looked at Jiang with a half-smile. "Mother, you haven't forgotten how father confidently speculated about Lu Zhiran's relationship with the Emperor. If I tell the Emperor about this, do you think he would strip my father of his title?"
Jiang's face changed drastically.
"Are you crazy?"
"Even if I'm crazy, it's because of you. At worst, neither of us will have a good life!"
Chu Yunqing was confused. "What's the relationship? What are you talking about?"
No one paid any attention to her.
Jiang stared at Zhao Shuning intently. "You can't even see the emperor. Do you really think you can do anything to the Marquis' Mansion with that so-called handle? You're dreaming!"
It has always been the mother-in-law who controls the daughter-in-law, and no daughter-in-law has ever dared to ride on her mother-in-law's head! She is really rebellious!
Zhao Shuning's expression darkened. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the urgent voice of a maid outside.
"Madam, Madam, someone is coming from the palace!"
Jiang stood up suddenly, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
"Who is he? What's going on? Did the Emperor issue an imperial decree to An'er, promoting him again?"
The old woman who delivered the message paused slightly and glanced at Zhao Shuning.
"I'm here to summon the young lady."
Jiang and Chu Yunqing were both stunned.
"Why summon her to the palace for no reason?"
"The Queen is seriously ill. The Emperor has requested that the young lady come to the palace to treat her."
Jiang's mother and daughter were stunned on the spot.
Zhao Shuning's eyes suddenly lit up.
Her chance has finally come, and this time, even God is helping her!
The corners of her lips curled up into an ambiguous smile.
"Some things really cannot be said. Look, isn't the opportunity to see the emperor here?"
Jiang's heart skipped a beat. "Don't mess around! Even if the Marquis's Mansion falls, you won't be able to escape unscathed."
Zhao Shuning glanced at the table, and Jiang had no choice but to say, "I will knock on the kitchen door. From now on, your food, clothing, housing and transportation will follow the previous standards."
Seeing that she had to bow to him, Zhao Shuning finally got rid of his anger.
"I've said it before, I have medical skills, and I'll be able to make a name for myself sooner or later."
Jiang's expression froze, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.
It would be a good thing if Zhao Shuning could regain power, but they had already torn their relationship apart, and it would not be easy to make amends, and it would be even more difficult to continue to control her in the future.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have been so confident.
Jiang forced a smile and said, "Anyway, this is a great opportunity. You must seize it firmly."
Zhao Shuning sneered, "Some people change their expressions faster than turning the pages of a book."
Jiang felt ashamed and angry, and a look of embarrassment flashed across her face.
"I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't seize this opportunity, it won't be so easy to turn things around."
Zhao Shuning didn't give her the slightest bit of face. "Are you thinking about me, or are you clinging to me because you think I'm useful again?"
Chu Yunqing was furious. "Whether you can earn the credit or not is still uncertain. What are you so proud of?"
Zhao Shuning looked proud. "The fact that the Emperor thought of me and specifically ordered me to enter the palace shows that my medical skills have caught His Majesty's eye. It's gold, and it will shine sooner or later."
Chu Yunqing sneered, "Don't be so confident when things are still undecided! Don't let the credit go to you, and instead be accused of incompetent treatment."
Zhao Shuning's face darkened. "Are you cursing the Queen?"
Chu Yunqing choked and quickly denied, "I didn't..."
"Isn't that what you meant? You're still hoping for me to fall from power. You're such a fool."
After leaving behind a sarcastic remark, Zhao Shuning turned and left.
Chu Yunqing was so angry that her face was distorted. She wanted to argue with her again, but was stopped by Jiang.
"Okay, don't make trouble at a time like this!"
Jiang was full of annoyance and her tone was full of impatience. Chu Yunqing was stunned by the yelling.
"Mom, why are you yelling at me? I was just venting my anger on your behalf!"
Jiang rubbed her eyebrows tiredly and agreed with Zhao Shuning's words for the first time. Her daughter was really a fool.
"Zhao Shuning is currently treating the Empress under imperial order. If she achieves merit, the Marquisate will benefit from it. If she is punished, the Marquisate might also be implicated. If she reveals something she shouldn't, the Marquisate will be even more vulnerable. How can we argue with her at this time?"
Chu Yunqing pouted in grievance, "Look at how she treated you just now! If she had achieved something, she would have long since left us alone. Why would she let us take advantage of her?"
Jiang was stunned, and a trace of gloom flashed through his heart.
"As long as she is still a member of the Marquis' Mansion, she has no say in this!"
Chu Yunqing's face was filled with melancholy. "If only Lu Zhiran were still my sister-in-law. She's rich, accomplished, and has status. She's also easier to control than Zhao Shuning. If she were still my sister-in-law, my life would definitely be much more glorious than it is now."
She will have endless money to spend and will also receive the envy and admiration of her younger sisters.
Jiang's heart began to ache again.
"Don't mention that woman! She's no pushover! She's been hiding this from us for so long and has long since alienated herself from the Marquisate. The heavy blow the Marquisate suffered this time was also caused by her. She's even more hateful than Zhao Shuning!"
So what if that woman is rich?
She had long harbored second thoughts about the Marquis' Mansion and was not a good person at all!
Chu Yunqing also resented Lu Zhiran for not wanting to pay for her headgear, so the mother and daughter began to curse at each other.
As he walked into the palace, Zhao Shuning's heart inevitably began to tighten.
He had acted so confident in front of Jiang's mother and daughter just now, simply because he didn't want to be looked down upon.
The palace servant who led the way whispered, "It was Concubine Li who spoke up for you and secured this rare opportunity. You must seize it well and don't let Concubine Li down."
