Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

I don’t know what Madam Zhao promised her, but the fear on Xi Que’s face flashed away, and then she looked at me with some resentment in her eyes.

"The princess actually never thought of asking the prince to take me as a concubine. All those words she said were just to control me. You can treat your wet nurse who has been with you for more than ten years so cruelly. No wonder the fortune teller predicted that you would have a poor family relationship..."

Before she could finish her words, Xueyan yelled at her, "Xi Que! Are you crazy? How can you say such things?"

"Isn't it? You don't know what kind of life I've been living in Zhuquanyuan these days!" She also became hysterical, as if we were the sinners.

And her words also made me realize some problems. Could it be that Situ Jue didn't treat her well after calling her over?

"Xueyan, take her down first and calm down." I got up from the chair and planned to meet Situ Jue and ask him in person.

We made quite a lot of noise in the house, and when the servants in the yard saw me coming out, they all hurriedly bowed their heads and tried to hide their expressions. Originally, some people who didn't know the whole story of Zhao Mama would believe what Zhao's father and son said and think that I was mean and ungrateful, and I was too lazy to explain to these people who didn't know the truth.

Whether they are outwardly awed or secretly disgusted, it has nothing to do with me.

I rushed all the way to Situ Jue's yard. As soon as I stepped onto the steps, I saw the housekeeper holding a stack of red paper. His facial features seemed to be wrinkled. He walked out with his head down. He was in a trance and didn't look at the road. He almost bumped into me.

"Open your eyes... Oh, Princess! Please forgive me, I was disrespectful..." He originally thought I was a servant in the yard and was about to scold me, but when he saw clearly, he quickly changed his words, his face flushed and he looked embarrassed.

I waved my hand, "It's okay, go ahead and do your work."

After the butler bowed respectfully, he walked around me and left. I went straight into the house and saw Lei Ming bending over to pick up the debris on the floor, Ji Feng was tidying up the things that were swept up at the table, and Situ Jue was sitting on the other side of the Luohan bed, leaning there lazily, looking like he didn't want to pay attention to anyone.

I walked up to him and sat next to him. He just raised his eyelids to look at me, then closed them again and changed his posture to lean his head against the soft pillow.

"If you want to talk about that maid, don't say anything." Although he closed his eyes, he knew why I came.

It seemed that he also knew that someone had run away from his yard.

"She's not a maid, she's your concubine!" I corrected.

"I never agreed to take her as a concubine." Situ Jue's tone became a little colder.

"You gave me such a good girl... You still don't want to acknowledge it? Who do you want to marry then?" I remembered that there were two maids in his yard who had served him since they were young. I tried hard to recall their names. "Xiyu? Or that Chun or something..."

"Enough of your nonsense!" He sat up straightened up at my words, "Is there anyone as enthusiastic as you to help her man find a concubine? You are just causing trouble for me!"

Fortunately, there was a small wooden table between us, otherwise he would have jumped in front of me.

"Stop it! What do you mean by your own man? We are husband and wife in name only, not in reality. Don't talk nonsense."

"You..." He raised his hand and pressed it on his chest, looking like he was extremely angry with me.

"Stop pretending. I already knew about your pretending to be sick last time. This trick will become ineffective if you use it too much."

He changed his expression and chuckled, "You're using your cleverness in the wrong place, aren't you? You're using your cunning to deal with people who are truly kind to you. You're such an ungrateful person!"

I kept silent, remembering that the Zhaos had said something similar when they were causing trouble at the gate of the palace. In their eyes, I was an abandoned daughter whose mother died young and whose father didn't love her. If it weren't for Aunt Zhao who had always been by my side and taken care of me with all her heart, I wouldn't have lived to the day of becoming a princess. But now she turned around and attacked the loyal servants. She was so heartless, ungrateful, mean, and stingy...

But I am a petty person. I may remember the good things others do to me, but I will never forget the bad things others do to me.

"Have you dealt with all the matters in your yard? I heard that you still keep that old servant. Are you still worried about something? Why do you still keep someone like this who climbs over the master's head and acts arrogantly?" Situ Jue immediately saw through my thoughts, knew what I was thinking, and changed the subject.

But I don't want to discuss this topic with him.

"That's it. Anyway, the Zhuangzi has changed its manager, and the things she was doing have been handed over to others. I don't want to pursue it anymore."

"You can't let this matter go just because you don't want to investigate. Do you know what those two Zhao family boys did outside? If you don't investigate, you really won't know..."

"Your Highness, Nanny Zhao was my wet nurse after all. She was right about one thing. If she hadn't taken care of me wholeheartedly, I might not have lived to see the day I married into the palace."

"Then it's up to you." Situ Jue said, and reached out to grab my hand, but I quickly dodged his move.

He stretched out his hand halfway, and then held it in the air, and smiled helplessly, "I've already done what you want, so why are you still avoiding me? I find your thoughts increasingly difficult to understand."

"I used to think that as long as one of the spouses of a couple had no feelings for each other, the other would see it and come back. But now, I feel that a marriage without feelings is nothing but a pool of stagnant water. You can consider the matter I mentioned to the prince before. If a divorce is not possible, a divorce letter will also be fine."

Having said that, I stood up and prepared to leave.

Situ Jue grabbed my wrist from behind and pulled me back, "You've come all this way just to tell me this?"

"I am no longer the Shen Xingye I used to be." It was a double-entendre truth, but I don't know how much of it he took into account.

Neither the original body nor myself want to be his second choice, just because he can't marry the person he wants to marry the most, so I have to watch him protect others with all his heart, and keep my heart for him with the title of princess.

"You are such an ungrateful bastard." He knew clearly that I didn't like this name, but he kept repeating it in front of me on purpose.

I frowned, broke free from his hand, and turned toward the door.

She stopped at the door and turned to him and said, "Xi Que has been sent to Zhuquan Courtyard, and the Concubine Dowager has agreed to make her a concubine. It was the prince who said that he wanted her to sleep with him. This matter is set in stone and cannot be changed. Your Majesty, please do not go back on your word and ruin the innocence of a good girl."

When I said these words, I deliberately raised my voice so that everyone in the yard could hear them.
