Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book
Chapter 41 The Deal
When I was about to run away to avoid Situ Jue's furious state, I heard him continue to say behind me, "Do you really not remember our agreement last night? I have already agreed to divorce you..."
Suddenly, I stopped and turned to look at him, "Divorce?"
"Yes, since you don't remember, then forget it, let's just pretend we didn't say anything last night." He leaned back against the wall of the tub, looking indifferent.
"Wait a minute, I must be able to remember such an important thing." I pressed my hands on both sides of my temples, trying to find relevant information in the fragmented and chaotic memory.
It seemed that he did tell me last night that he could divorce me, but I would have to wait at least three more years. He would find a way to dissolve the marriage with me as peacefully as possible without hurting the reputation of both families or angering His Majesty.
Another condition was that I had to do ten things for him.
When I think of this, my memory becomes clearer.
At that time, he clearly asked me to promise him three things. I was so happy that I quickly replied, "Don't say three things! I will promise you ten things!"
Then the content of our deal became that I had to do ten things for him, and the first thing was to help him take a medicinal bath. Actually, it was easy to think about it. If he treated me as a maid for the next nine things, I wouldn't mind at all. Anyway, the quality of service would not be too high.
After thinking about the whole thing, my expression became complicated. After some mental preparation, I rolled up my sleeves, returned to the tub, and put on a fake smile, "Boss, do you need me to rub your back?"
This time it was Situ Jue's turn to distance himself from me. "No need. Go outside and see if the hot water is ready..."
"Do we need to add hot water so soon? Has the water gotten cold?" I looked at the steaming water in confusion, and at the same time put my hand into the bucket to feel the water temperature.
"What are you doing?" Situ Jue's voice sounded a little panicked.
Because it was a medicinal bath, the water in the tub was darker in color, and one couldn't tell the depth or what his condition was like while soaking in the water.
Anyway, when I put my hand into the water, I felt his bent kneecap, which startled him so much that he looked like he was attacked. He was a little embarrassed and a little stunned, "Don't... don't touch me!"
"I was just testing the water temperature. Who wants to touch you?" Although he spoke loudly, I still went out to see what the servants had prepared.
Without saying anything, Ji Feng brought two buckets of hot water into the house, and asked Situ Jue through the screen, "Prince, shall I heat the water for you now?"
"Leave it there for now. You can go out first." Situ Jue paused and added, "Let the princess come in."
I quickly responded, "Don't rush me, I'm right next to you!"
Then he turned to thank Ji Feng and said, "Just leave it here. I'll carry it in."
"The bucket is very heavy." He seemed to think that I couldn't lift it, and hesitated but didn't let go.
My temper flared up immediately. "What's the big deal? I can lift buckets bigger than this, and I can even use them as dumbbells for fitness. Who am I looking down on?"
Ji Feng silently placed two buckets of hot water in front of me.
In order to prove that what he said was true, I wanted to imitate him and carry one bucket in each hand. However, after trying it, I found it a bit strenuous. So I just carried one bucket in each hand and moved the things in one bucket at a time.
After I was exhausted and carried two buckets of hot water into the tank, I stood up and was about to ask Situ Jue when to add more water. I found that he was looking at me with a smile, as if he was watching a good show.
I squinted my eyes and imagined myself rushing over to grab his head and pushing him into the bath water repeatedly, listening to him begging for mercy while choking on the water.
But in reality, I could only be like his little maid, being ordered around by him to get him his sweat towel, to serve him tea, and to add water with small movements, because if the water splashed, he would glare at me fiercely.
"If you do this half-heartedly again, this time will not count! We have to recalculate the ten things!"
"How can it be like this?"
"Of course, we should do our best to fulfill our promises."
I gritted my teeth and continued to imagine myself pinching Situ Jue's neck so hard that he couldn't utter a word, but I still had to maintain a business smile on the surface.
For more than half an hour, I ran errands for him, picking up and delivering things, and was already sweating profusely.
There was a brazier in the corner of the bathing area for heating. When I was in there with Situ Jue, I was sweating profusely. In order to make it easier to work, I rolled up my long sleeves to my upper arms, but due to improper operation, my sleeves and lapels still got wet. Every time I went outside, I shivered in the cold wind.
After going in and out, alternating between hot and cold for a while, I felt a little dizzy. Finally, I finished serving this master and it was time to get out of the bath.
I was just about to suggest that his personal attendant do these things, but he spoke first, "Okay, you are not needed here, go out and call in Ji Feng."
Fortunately, he had self-awareness and was embarrassed to show the poached chicken in front of others. I clapped my hands, and the work was done, and it was time for someone else to go.
As a result, later that day, while I was having dinner, I suddenly felt nauseous and my stomach felt like it was churning. I reacted so quickly that I didn't even have time to leave the table and started dry heaving.
Fortunately, I had hardly eaten anything before and just drank a few sips of tea, and all I vomited out was the acid in my stomach.
It was such an embarrassing moment, and everyone in the room was looking at me.
The maid brought a spittoon and a handkerchief, and Situ Jue asked someone to invite Doctor Sun.
I also heard someone whispering, "Is the princess pregnant?"
I was already feeling upset, and when I heard this, I rolled my eyes in my heart. Come on, I can't reproduce asexually, how could I be pregnant!
As a result, before Doctor Sun came over, I lost consciousness and passed out.
In the blur, I seemed to see a woman sitting beside my bed wiping her tears, sobbing softly, and repeating "I'm sorry" over and over again.
Then someone used a warm handkerchief to wipe my face, and the uncomfortable feeling seemed to be smoothed out. I couldn't help but wonder, who is this person, who is so caring. When the handkerchief was moved from the right side of my face to the left side, I reached out and grabbed the other person's hand in a daze.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?" Perception and consciousness seemed to be separated at that moment, and reactions became a little slow.
I heard the voice that sounded like Jia Liu, and when I tried to open my eyes to see clearly, I could only see a vague figure in the soft light. Although I knew rationally that he couldn't appear in front of me now, I was emotionally certain that it was him, and only in this way could I unify the little bit of goodwill in my heart.
I followed the man's wrist and up to his arm, pulling him closer to me, and when he leaned over to me, I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a loving hug.
It turns out that when people are sick or feeling uncomfortable, they want the person they love to be by their side.
