Buddhist Miracle Doctor: The Dark Prince, Can't Get Rid of Him
Chapter 34: Invisible Rival
Not long after, the maid who was sent out came back to report that a distinguished guest had come to the mansion. The Marquis had left early in the morning, so only the Prince was left to entertain him.
When Qian Xinru was ten years old, she first came to the Marquis' Mansion. When she saw her cousin, the prince who was a rare talent, her face turned red and her heart beat fast. After returning home, she was absent-minded whether doing needlework or playing the zither. Her mother saw something was wrong and asked her privately, and she laughed.
I don't think it's inappropriate for my daughter to have romantic feelings at such a young age. Instead, I think she has good taste.
After whispering in her husband's ear for several nights, the couple personally sent their daughter to the Marquis's Mansion, saying that the family education in the Marquis's Mansion was good, and asked their daughter to come and learn the rules from several cousins so that she could marry into a good family in the future.
After she had been in the mansion for a few months, everyone in the mansion could see what this cousin was thinking.
The Marquis and his wife turned a blind eye to it. Privately, the Marquis told his wife that he had no objection to the marriage, but he could not allow her to be his son's wife.
Yan found a suitable opportunity and hinted to her niece that she could marry the prince, but she would not be his principal wife.
Qian Xinru's mother had told her this when she entered the Marquis's Mansion, so she was mentally prepared and not very disappointed. She just thought that being able to accompany her cousin for the rest of his life was enough. She knew the status of her uncle's family, and her cousin would definitely marry someone of equal status.
But she was confident that even if she could not become the Crown Prince's wife now, she would find a way to get that position in the future.
This year, she is fifteen years old, and according to reason, she has reached the age to discuss marriage. However, Yan said that she had asked the prince, and the response was that he would talk about taking a concubine after marrying a wife.
Now, after all the hard work, the prince cousin who she had been waiting for finally got married, but the one she married was not the real eldest daughter of the Mu family. At first, when Qian Xinru heard the news, she was secretly happy, because in this way, this fake prince's wife would be easier to deal with.
However, after following her aunt into Wenxin Garden yesterday morning and seeing that woman, Qian Xinru suddenly began to feel uneasy.
She had met the eldest daughter of the Mu family, whom her cousin had originally intended to date, several times, but she had never had such a feeling.
How could it be as vulgar as what people who had seen the bride said on the wedding day?
Qian Xinru was very confident about her appearance, but after seeing the woman without makeup yesterday morning, this feeling of uneasiness lingered in her heart for a long time.
Even though she heard the maid say that her cousin did not go to the Wenxin Garden, Qian Xinru still could not be happy. She quickly adjusted her mood and walked towards her aunt's yard.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard a woman talking about what happened in Wenxin Garden the night before. She said that smoke had been coming out of the kitchen doors and windows for a long time, and that the two maids in front of the prince were in such a state of distress, and so on.
When the people in the room heard this, they all started laughing.
"Aunt, there's nothing wrong in letting that woman suffer a little. She deserves it. But Dongzhu and Xizhu are my cousin's people after all. This is not a good idea. My cousin will feel uncomfortable." Qian Xinru walked forward and sat next to Yan, and asked a little worriedly.
She didn't really feel sorry for the two maids, because those four girls might become her cousin's bedmates someday. However, she knew in her heart that even without those four beautiful maids, her cousin would still have other women around him.
In this case, they are no better than the four pearls. At least they are servants. Even if they become favored in the future, they will never be able to surpass her.
Upon hearing this, Yan smiled and said, "Ru'er, you are right. Your cousin was indeed unhappy when he found out. Lin Chuan went to find the steward last night. Unfortunately, those two bastards didn't know what was good for them and insisted on staying in Wenxin Garden for dinner. Even if your cousin is angry, he is not angry with me, your aunt."
Huh? Qian Xinru couldn't believe what she heard.
What's wrong with those two maids? Are they stupid? Or is that woman good at winning people's hearts? It seems that my worries are not unreasonable!
"Mother, Dongzhu and Xizhu have been living in my brother's yard for several years. They only serve tea and water and can't cook at all. If the food is not cooked properly, they will get stomachaches." A young girl sitting below asked with a little concern after laughing.
"If they have a stomachache, it's no big deal. We can just ask a doctor to see them. That woman dared to come into our house instead of us. It would be too easy for her if we don't let her suffer a little. As for the two girls, mother said to let them go out to eat, but they wanted to stay. Who can we blame?"
"That's right. My brother couldn't bear to be cruel to a woman, so he just let her live in Wenxin Garden. This punishment is too light."
"That's right. I heard that the woman originally lived in the countryside and grew up eating at other people's houses. Now that she lives in Wenxin Garden, she has a place to live and food to eat. It's not a punishment at all. It's simply a blessing."
Once one person spoke, others followed suit.
No matter what was said, no one expressed sympathy.
At this time, in the kitchen of Wenxin Garden, Dongzhu and Xizhu were lighting a fire while the other put a few plates on the stove. They watched Mu Yingbao lift the lid of the pot and stir the food in the pot with a spatula.
In the steaming pot, dumplings with bulging bellies were tumbling in the boiling water.
By the way, for breakfast today, they had dumplings with shepherd’s purse and pork.
This morning, Mu Yingbao got up and strolled in the yard. He saw patches of shepherd's purse growing at the base of the wall. He suddenly thought of eating dumplings. He asked the two to take scissors to cut some, wash and chop them.
There was some leftover pork from the previous night, and Mu Yingbao was afraid it would go bad so he had it put in a large bowl and then in a basket, which was then hung with a rope and sunk into the well. It was just the right amount to use for making dumplings.
Although the rotten meat can be thrown away, and Mu Yingbao doesn't have to spend money to buy it, but it is shameful to waste it.
"Okay, okay, cool down the heat, wash your hands, and come and eat." After boiling the pot twice, Mu Yingbao lifted the lid and cooked it for a while longer, calling out.
The man who was stoking the fire responded immediately, covered the fire at the bottom of the stove with a shovel, and then happily went to the basin to wash his hands.
"Try it quickly and see how it tastes." After the three of them sat down, they saw the two of them just watching with chopsticks in their hands, so they urged them.
"Girl, are you sure you remember it correctly? Is that grass really edible?" Dongzhu hesitated, but couldn't help asking.
"Of course, you two have forgotten that I grew up in the countryside. Otherwise, how could I dare to eat anything I want. I haven't lived enough of my youth, and I have no grudges against you two, so how could I eat something I don't recognize?" After Mu Yingbao finished speaking, he picked up a dumpling, dipped it in the prepared garlic vinegar sauce, and took a bite.
Well, my craftsmanship is impeccable!
In fact, the two had wanted to eat it for a long time, but even though they were servants, they had never eaten food made from wild grasses since they could remember.
After listening to what Mu Yingbao said, and then seeing her eating, the other two didn't care whether they could eat it or whether they would be poisoned, and just ate it.
"Hmm, hmm, it's so delicious. So fresh." Dongzhu ate three in one breath and picked up another one while praising the food.
Xizhu didn't say a word and ate one after another. Mu Yingbao was very happy watching her. The hard work of doing it yourself was worth it.
At this moment, the three of them heard faint scolding from outside almost at the same time.
No way? Come at this time? I'm eating delicious food...
