Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

There was a strange atmosphere in the orchid room.

The old princess scolded Li, Shen Xuanheng watched her closely, the eldest princess with pockmarks on her face looked aggressive, like an old hen protecting her cubs.

Su Xuqing's eyes turned slightly, and her mind wandered into the sky.

She had just been married for a few days, but Shen Xuanheng had secretly handed over the internal affairs of the fourth room to her, so Su Xuqing knew exactly how much silver was on the account of the fourth room, and there was only more than one thousand taels left.

This is also the reason why Su Xuqing did not refuse the unreasonable discount given by Liang Heng when she was customizing clothes at Tianyi Pavilion today.

Because that long skirt cost one thousand two taels of silver. If I paid in full, there would only be a few hundred taels left on the books. If something happened again, there wouldn't even be any money left for a deposit.

Now that the eldest princess has made such a huge request, the old princess obviously can't bring herself to refuse.

However, now everyone is short of money, and the Li family from the second house is eyeing them covetously, just waiting to do something bad. If you want other houses to help you, you'll have to tear your face into pieces and step on it.

But this is obviously impossible.

Even if Su Xuqing didn't care about herself, she had to protect her husband's dignity. Although this matter was caused by Shen Xuanheng's gossip, his original intention was good.

"Ugh."

Seeing that the eldest princess was determined to take advantage of her today, the old princess could only sigh. She slowly looked at Su Xuqing and said, "Qing'er, if it really doesn't work, take out the box of jewelry that your mother gave you to pay off the debt."

As she spoke, the old princess glared at Shen Xuanheng unhappily, "It would be good for him to learn a lesson."

Shen Xuanheng stood aside angrily, not daring to speak.

Outside the door, Li gritted her teeth, thinking that the old woman was really partial. She had been coveting that box of jewelry for a long time, but the old princess refused to give her any of it. But now she gave them all to Su Xuqing.

This is really unreasonable!

Su Xuqing was lost in thought, and only came to her senses when Shen Xuanheng pulled her sleeve. She said quickly, "Mom, you saved all that money with great effort, and gave it to me with such kindness. If I sell it now, wouldn't that be a betrayal of your kindness?"

The old princess shook her head helplessly, "No matter how good your intentions are, you have to put them into practice. Now the eldest princess is waiting here, can you let her return empty-handed?"

"Hey!"

The princess's face turned serious when she heard this. "Your son was at fault today. Why are you saying this as if I were a rich landlord who only cares about others and only plunders others?"

No one in the room said a word, but they all thought so in their hearts.

Su Xuqing's watery eyes moved, staring at the pockmarks on the princess's face and said, "Your Highness, can this silver be used to pay off the debt with something else?"

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows in interest, "Why, do you have any famous calligraphy or paintings? Or antique treasures?"

Su Xuqing shook her head, "No."

"Tsk." The princess sneered, "Forget it. I don't want anything worthless. Don't try to fool me with those weird things."

The princess leaned back in her chair, pointed at herself with her index finger, and chattered on, "I have seen and tasted it before. I am not the kind of person who would be startled when seeing something strange..."

"What a shame." Su Xuqing sighed softly, "I originally wanted to remove the pockmarks on the princess' face... Since you don't agree, then..."

"what!"

The eldest princess's chattering suddenly stopped, and she stood up in surprise. She squinted her narrow eyes and walked quickly to Su Xuqing, looking at her with burning eyes.

"You said you could remove the pockmarks on my face?"

Su Xuqing tried hard to recall the contents of "Shennong's Herbal Classic" in her mind, then nodded slightly.

The princess laughed a few times when she heard this, and then said with a dark look in her eyes: "Little girl, you should think clearly before you speak. The pockmarks on my face are natural. The old imperial doctors who have been devoted to medicine for many years are helpless. How can you be so confident?"

When Li, who was outside the door, heard Su Xuqing's words, she almost laughed out loud. She thought that this little bitch was obviously desperate and wanted to seek medical help everywhere. She actually wanted to treat the pockmarks on the eldest princess' face. She was not afraid that the wind would blow her tongue away and offend the eldest princess. She would have to bear the consequences!

Su Xuqing smiled slightly upon hearing this, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Highness, there is no limit to medical skills, just as there is no limit to knowledge. No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible for him to possess all the knowledge in the world. However, empty words are not enough. If Your Highness does not believe it, we will know it after we give it a try."

As she spoke, Su Xuqing lifted her sleeves to reveal her snow-white wrist. There was a sesame-sized pockmark on the left side of her wrist, which looked similar to the one on the eldest princess's face.

"Why don't I make a bet with Her Royal Highness the Princess? If I can remove this freckle within an hour, the five thousand taels of silver that the Princess demanded today will be written off."

Seeing that she was determined not to joke, the princess immediately became interested.

"What if you can't light it?"

Su Xuqing held up three fingers and said confidently, "Then I will triple the five thousand taels to compensate Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Qing'er!"

The old princess' heart trembled, this was a huge gamble, if she lost, the palace's assets would be reduced by half, and then the various rooms would be in chaos.

Su Xuqing looked back and smiled, saying calmly: "Don't worry, mother, Qing'er knows what's going on."

The old princess was silent for a moment, then nodded. In her heart, she was willing to believe Su Xuqing, but she felt a little unsure. After all, she had never heard that Su Xuqing was proficient in medicine.

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

Facing Su Xuqing's question, the eldest princess smiled slightly and said, "You are quite courageous. Okay, then I will make a bet with you."

After saying that, the princess sat on the armchair.

Su Xu bowed and said, "In that case, I will come back in an hour."

The old lady nodded, feeling uneasy. If Su Xuqing lost the bet, losing money would be a small matter, but teasing the princess would be a big matter. If the princess started to make a fuss about it, it would never end.

If Su Xuqing really had the ability to remove the pockmarks on the princess' face, it would be a huge favor. Even if she and Xiaojiu were gone in the future, as long as she had the princess' protection, Su Xuqing would not end up in a miserable way.

The eldest princess saw that the old princess looked uneasy and smiled faintly: "Why, you don't have confidence in your daughter-in-law."

The old princess sighed, then slowly said: "Forget it, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."

Time is tight and the task is heavy. After leaving the orchid room, Su Xuqing and Shen Xuanheng had to collect medicinal materials to make medicine to eliminate freckles. However, as soon as the two of them walked into the yard, they saw Li coming towards them with a fierce look on her face, as if she was coming to accuse them.

"Su Xuqing! You are so brave to bet so much with the princess. Do you know that if you lose, the old lady will have to collect the more than 10,000 taels of silver from each room?"
