On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness Chapter 610: 610: Whether to Torture

Chapter 610: Chapter 610: Whether to Torture

The next morning, Leng Yu Yan awoke to find that Ye Yiheng was no longer by her side.

These days, she had often woken up to his absence and, although she had grown sowhat accustod to it, it inevitably aroused so doubts and even slight despondency.

After a simple grooming, Leng Yu Yan went to the outer room for breakfast, only to see Song Guo standing there.

Not only that, but there was also an entire row of eunuchs and palace maids, each holding a uniformly exquisite brocade box.

Leng Yu Yan was quite surprised. Soone had left early, had they been sent from the Eastern Palace?

Song Guo bowed respectfully, “Lady, His Highness instructed I to co here early in the morning.”

“Is there a matter?” Leng Yu Yan seated herself at the table with Miao Zhu’s assistance and asked again, “Are these gifts from His Highness?”

Song Guo answered with a smile, “These are your wedding attire, Lady, the phoenix crown, wedding dress, inner clothes, wedding shoes, jewelry, a complete set from inside to out.”

“Weren’t they supposed to be prepared by the palace?”

“His Highness said that the palace will follow the palace’s procedures, but the Eastern Palace will follow its own,” Song Guo smiled, her brows not brows, her eyes not eyes, “Lady, please try them on later to see if they fit.”

Just as Song Guo finished speaking, soone from the palace arrived too.

However, what the palace sent was two large brocade boxes, and after placing the boxes down, the bearer left.

Chun Liu Xia Tao stepped forward to open the brocade boxes from the palace, which also contained a phoenix crown and red wedding dress.

Song Guo peered inside, then said, “Every year nurous princes and princesses marry, and the phoenix crowns and red dresses prepared by the palace are all about the sa. However, as you are soon to be the Crown Princess Consort, naturally, yours should not be ordinary.”

As she spoke, she opened each brocade box sent by the Eastern Palace.

Being highly skilled in embroidery, Leng Yu Yan imdiately noticed that Ye Yiheng had put considerable thought into his preparations.

She stepped forward and gently touched the fabric, a smile quickly spreading across her lips, “Song Guo, thank His Highness for !”

Song Guo replied beaming, “Lady, when you have ti, please try them on to see if they fit. I must return to report.”

Miao Zhu chid in, “Shouldn’t the Lady have her breakfast before trying them on?”

“I did not an it that way,” Song Guo bowed, “Just agreeing to try them on is enough, I shall take my leave now.”

“Very well,” Leng Yu Yan nodded, “Tonight, after my bath, I will try them on.”

It was only right to do justice to such exquisite craftsmanship and embroidery, and indeed, to honor soone’s intention.

Hearing that Leng Yu Yan would try them on, Song Guo then led the palace maids and eunuchs away.

Lai Zonghui’s family hired several horse carriages overnight and moved everything from their residence at Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion into the carriages.

With few servants to assist them, by the ti they had finished moving everything, it was already broad daylight.

At that mont, they were seated in the horse carriages, heading toward their estate in the suburbs.

Lai Jiajia asked Lai Zonghui softly, “Dad, shouldn’t we ask the Commandery Princess for help?”

Lai Zonghui shook his head, “Should we add to others’ troubles or create an opportunity for Leng Zongfa to criticize?”

Hearing this, Lai Jiajia pursed her lips, “Dad, I understand now. Our Commandery Princess sister is soon to marry the Crown Prince; our family shouldn’t hold her back.”

Ms. He, relieved, patted Lai Jiajia’s head, “The estate we are heading to now was left to our family by your Commandery Princess sister’s mother, so in a way, we are already indebted to Yu Yan.”

“Yesterday the situation in the court was fierce; many among the Leng Family’s branches harbor ill intentions,” Lai Zonghui sighed, “Given our family’s current situation, we certainly should not add to Yu Yan’s troubles.”

“The prosperity of a family relies on oneself. Xuan’er, you must diligently study literature and martial arts and beco a man like your brothers Leng Yi and Heir Lai! Jiajia, you too must excel at Xinya Academy, learn skills that will make your future in-laws value you,” Lai Zonghui told his children. “In this life, it’s important to be upright and honorable!”

The siblings nodded together, “Dad, we understand!”

Inside Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion, Leng Zongfa looked at the now-empty second courtyard and scoffed.

The servants who had originally followed in the second house had mostly stayed, their reason being that they received the monthly salary from Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion.

Taking advantage of Leng Zongfa’s inattention, Lai Manting draped a cloak around herself and left Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion.

Recently, a significant event had occurred at the mansion, her mother and grandmother had been successively imprisoned, and now she could only rely on herself.

However, to rely on herself, she would first need to restore her appearance and figure.

According to the traveling doctor she had contacted last night, she could go to the thatched hut by the moat for treatnt today.

The thatched hut was quite close to Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion, and a quarter of an hour later, Lai Manting arrived at her destination.

A hoarse voice ca from inside the hut, “Have you really thought this through?”

Lai Manting paused, “I have thought it through. What use is the ability to bear children? It’s nothing compared to power and wealth.”

“Good, then co in, let’s start the treatnt.”

Lai Manting pinched her palm with her fingertips, saying she wasn’t scared would be a lie.

After taking a deep breath, she resolutely entered the thatched hut.

After an insulting examination was perford on Lai Manting, that hoarse voice ca from behind a mask, “You had already lost the ability to bear children. Thus, your facial features cannot be treated.”

Lai Manting stood up, pulled up her inner clothes, and asked urgently, “I lost a fetus previously due to being struck. Can I truly not conceive again?”

Being unable to conceive ant that treating her face through a thod that involved sacrificing her reproductive ability had beco impossible.

“You cannot conceive again,” said the figure behind the mask. “However, there is another thod now, and that is a ‘face change’.”

“A face change?” Lai Manting frowned.

“Mm, but the requirents are quite strict. It requires the face of your own sister.”

The face of Lai Jiajia flashed through Lai Manting’s mind, so she asked, “Can a cousin work?”

“Most likely,” the masked figure nodded. “But this thod requires quite a bit of money. Can you afford it?”

“I can afford it, I can afford it.”

“Good, go and prepare.” After saying this, the person behind the mask disappeared into the back of the thatched hut.

Lai Manting, her spirit wavering, walked out. Her father had chased her second family out of the mansion, where could she find Lai Jiajia now?

Or should she directly find Li Lu?

In the afternoon, a warm breeze wafted, and willow leaves fluttered.

Prince Zhenbei Mansion.

Ye Jiu had sent soone to call Leng Yu Yan to Yeyu Garden.

“What does my sister-in-law want with ?”

With a smile, Leng Yu Yan entered the courtyard, her gaze inquisitive on Ye Jiu, continually examining her walking and standing posture.

Ye Jiu playfully slapped her on the arm, “These past few days, I’ve been thinking about what wedding gift to give you. I especially liked the one you gave before, so I called you over to ask directly.”

“I like whatever my sister-in-law wants,” Leng Yu Yan smiled and steadied Ye Jiu, “Look at you, your legs are weak, your knees trembling, no wonder you can’t co to my courtyard.”

At that, Ye Jiu gave another crisp slap on the back of Leng Yu Yan’s hand, “Are you teasing ? Aren’t we trying? Like this, we can have more children sooner.”

Leng Yu Yan blushed slightly, unable to resist advising, “Take it easy, look at your constitution. I think you need to nourish yourself.”

“Nourishing indeed, three als a day plus supper, nourishing at every al,” Ye Jiu covered her mouth, laughing joyfully.

Seeing her seemingly happy, Leng Yu Yan couldn’t help but wonder, isn’t that kind of thing supposed to be torturous?
