Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

He glanced at the denominations of the silver bills, stood up and took a few steps back, then bowed to me solemnly, "I can get 20 taels of silver a month in the palace, which is enough. Please take back all the silver bills, Princess."

I looked at the five-hundred-tael silver notes in my hand and smiled awkwardly.

So I gave too much?

Just as I was hesitating about how to proceed, I saw him reach out and tear off the silver note on the surface.

"I will do my best to follow the instructions given by the princess."

It's always a good thing to be able to collect money. My smile became more sincere, "Doctor Sun, you are so polite. Please take a seat."

"The prescriptions will be kept, so it's difficult to change them. I will prepare the medicine for the princess to use in the future, and you can arrange for a trustworthy person to come and get it." His attitude has always been humble and cautious, but the gleam in his eyes shows that he is not a flatterer.

He explained it to me this way on purpose, but I wasn't sure he wouldn't tell Situ Jue about my drama.

Especially when he mentioned someone he could trust, it really put me in a dilemma.

Logically speaking, the maids and nannies who came with me as a bride grew up with me, so they should be the closest and most trustworthy, but I am not their master. In addition, from what I have observed these days, I don't think I can completely trust those people.

Xi Que was not scheming. She would occasionally rely on her position as a top maid to assign tasks I asked her to other maids. When I took a nap, she would lower her voice and scold other maids in the yard, as if she was the second in command of Su Xin Pavilion.

Although Zhao Mama was my original body's wet nurse, she was usually kind and concerned about my daily life. But the last time my aunt and cousin came to visit me, I saw something wrong. She was extremely hostile to my uncle's family, and dared to openly and covertly disparage them in front of me. She was particularly happy to see that I was cold to them.

At first I thought it was because when the original body was in the Shen family, her mother died early, her father was sent away, and her uncle's family treated her harshly, so she, a loyal servant, harbored hatred.

These plots are not in the original book, so I don’t have any related memories, but after I refused to meet, my cousin wrote a letter and had it delivered to me.

Aunt Zhao tore the letter into pieces without waiting for me to read it. Although it wasn't in front of me, I became more cautious when Xueyan accidentally mentioned it.

Although I don’t know what happened to my original body’s family, I know my original body’s ending.

If a person dies in depression because she doesn't get the love of her husband, I'm afraid that's not entirely true. Even if Situ Jue doesn't love her, she is not alone. But in the end, she ends up in such a miserable state. Didn't anyone around her notice anything wrong? Didn't anyone ever give her a little warmth?

Is it that she is too extreme, or is there someone fanning the flames and trying to make her isolated so that she can be controlled by him?

The most crucial point is that when I needed money, I found that all the small treasury of my original body was in the hands of Madam Zhao. When I asked her to give it to me, she made all kinds of excuses and even interrogated me about where I was going to use it. This is what really made me suspicious.

The original person was cowardly and was coaxed and instigated by the people around him. He might not have noticed anything and had never even looked at the account book.

The household affairs in the palace were managed by the Dowager Concubine, who was not very old and had no plans to delegate her power for the time being. So she was content to bear the empty title of Princess and chased after Situ Jue with all her heart.

I heard that she had asked someone to find a recipe for medicinal food for Situ Jue, and each recipe cost a hundred taels of silver. She also looked for several different recipes, spending over a thousand taels of silver.

Today, I saw this palace doctor who was responsible for taking care of Situ Jue. His monthly salary was only 20 taels. What kind of old doctor could have prescribed a 100-tael medicinal recipe? And all of this pointed to Aunt Zhao, who had watched me grow up.

These days, while I continued to recuperate on the surface, I secretly found an inconspicuous servant in the palace, and sent him out to investigate a little, under the pretext of eating food from a restaurant outside. Zhao Mama's family all lived in a manor outside the capital, and that manor was naturally my dowry. They all relied on me for support and lived a very comfortable life. Zhao Mama's two sons lived outside like the sons of rich families, but in fact they did not have any jobs.

When I think about it this way, my small piggy bank is their family’s ATM, and then everything becomes clear.

I haven't found out whether Xi Que was involved or not, but Xue Yan probably wasn't involved. She let it slip in front of me several times, intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was trying to hint me to check whether Aunt Zhao had done a lot of good things behind my back.

Intellectually, I also understand that the safest approach now is to imitate my original self and continue to please Situ Jue.

After all, he is the second male lead in the original book. Although he has a bad personality, he is not a bad person. Otherwise, he would have attacked me when I deliberately made trouble. As long as I am energetic and healthy, and wait until he lets go of the white moonlight in his heart, there may be a good ending.

But when I think about his attitude towards my original self, I really don't have a good face for him.

So my goal is to separate myself from him clearly, and it would be best if I could leave the palace, live well before finding a way to go home, stay away from those important characters in the original book, and just live an ordinary life.

"Princess..." Perhaps I had been silent for too long, Doctor Sun looked up and called out to me, but when his eyes fell on my face, he abruptly stopped talking and lowered his eyes in panic, no longer looking at me.

At this time, I also noticed something unusual. My face became wet. Thinking back to the days when I was recuperating, I was very calm because I knew in my heart that these were Shen Xingye's problems, not mine. But why could I not control my tears at this moment?

Doctor Sun seemed frightened by my appearance. I came up with an idea. I took out a handkerchief, wiped my tears, and started to pour out my heart to him.

I was not valued in my mother's family. My mother died early, my father was sent away, and I had no immediate relatives around me. In the Shen family, my uncle was the head of the family, so I suffered discrimination. After I married into the prince's palace, the prince never looked at me straight in the eye. I felt empty, lonely and cold. I was slapped in the face every time I tried to show my kindness. I was so miserable.

After beating my sympathy for a while, he would casually mention that people around him had emptied my small treasury, enriched themselves, and kept me in the dark.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Doctor Sun, but I really can't find anyone I can trust now. There is no place in this huge palace where I can feel at ease." I continued to wipe the corners of my eyes with a handkerchief, but in fact I was secretly observing Doctor Sun's expression.

Crying all the time will only make people annoyed, but I just told the whole story in a tearful tone, seemingly innocently, but in fact I was making up stories and even exaggerating them to describe myself as a helpless little pitiful person. This was also a gamble on the five hundred taels of silver, whether it was moral kidnapping or to get his sympathy, if he could stand up and leave with a cold heart, he would not be practicing medicine.
