Chapter 75: Chapter 76 Lady Jhiang’s Kindness
“All right.”
“Thank you, Marquis!”
After gaining approval, Luo Jiner imdiately displayed a joyful expression.
Chu Yu looked up at the woman smiling like a blooming flower in his arms and pinched the tip of her nose, saying, “You really are impossible to deal with.”
The ambiguous atmosphere persisted between the two until the carriage ca to a stop, and Chu Yu leaped down before extending a hand to help Luo Jiner out.
Not far away, Shao He lowered her eyes, never expecting to run into them so soon.
...
Chu Yu turned around and, upon noticing the figure standing in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Following his gaze, Luo Jiner saw a woman in green standing there, a breeze lifting her hair to reveal delicate, fair features and a stunning visage.
Such a person would stand out wherever she went, but unfortunately, Chu Yu had no ti for appreciation at the mont, as he had already recognized the person as Shao He.
“Marquis…” Luo Jiner called Ch Yu softly.
Returning to his senses, Chu Yu quickened his pace and walked forward,
When Luo Jiner and Shao He locked eyes, surprise flickered within their gazes.
“Sister?”
“Who is your sister? Miss Luo, it’s better not to claim relatives randomly. I certainly do not have a sister who is as shaless as you,” Shao He retorted, seeing they had recognized her.
“You…” Luo Jiner was so angry she was at a loss for words.
With a slight smirk on her lips and a tone laced with sarcasm, Shao He said, “What? Am I wrong?”
Shao He’s unreserved mockery caused Luo Jiner’s face to pale as if she had been dealt a heavy blow.
Chu Yu frowned; he knew very well that Shao He still had feelings for him, and her direct confrontation was rely out of jealousy.
But what could her jealousy do? The only person he loved now was Luo Jiner.
“Shao He, don’t go too far.”
Just as Shao He was about to retort, Luo Jiner preempted her, “Is Doctor Shao here to treat Princess Huimin?”
Shao He couldn’t even be bothered to glance at her and turned to leave, but Luo Jiner blocked her path and said mockingly, “You might as well not harbor any vain hopes. I’ve heard that not even the Imperial Physician could cure Princess Huimin’s illness. With your dical skills, if you worsen her condition, you’ll involve the Marquis!”
Then, taking out a dicine bottle from her bosom with a smug look, she added, “I’ve specially sought a Spiritual dicine to treat Princess Huimin’s facial disease. It’s not sothing you, who is rely groping in the dark, could compare to!”
Chu Yu’s brows furrowed deeply as he chid in, “Indeed, it doesn’t matter if you run into trouble, but don’t implicate .”
“There’s no need for the two of you to worry about that. Furthermore, the Lady Marquess of Pingnan has already been buried. Why can’t the Marquis rember that?” Shao He reminded him again.
Chu Yu’s expression darkened, and he suppressed the anger rising in his heart, “Do you know how many charlatans have claid to be able to heal Princess Huimin’s face, only to be punished by her in the end? Are you aware of the fates they t?”
Chu Yu truly did not want her to go inside, not because he feared she would be punished, but because he was worried that if she managed to cure Princess Huimin again, things would beco uncontrollable.
Shao He raised an eyebrow, “Is the Marquis perhaps overly concerned? Aren’t you afraid Miss Luo will beco exceedingly jealous?”
With a look of spite, Luo Jiner sneered at her, “Doctor Shao couldn’t possibly be without an invite, could she?”
“Not just anyone can enter the Princess’s Mansion. I advise you to leave early to spare yourself the misery,” Chu Yu took the chance to say.
“Indeed, Doctor Shao, even if you dress up like this, you won’t be able to seduce anyone here,” Luo Jiner added with a mocking tone, suggesting she was no different from a brothel woman, standing there waiting to seduce n.
Watching the despicable man and deceitful woman play off each other, Shao He almost couldn’t resist applauding their seamless cooperation; truly, a scoundrel matched with a green tea b**ch was a perfect combination.
anwhile, Lady Jhiang and Jhiang Yijia, who had just alighted from their carriage, overheard their exchange. Mother and daughter exchanged looks, feeling that Chu Yu was really too much, and they held nothing but contempt for this kind of woman who would do anything to climb up the social ladder.
“Who said she doesn’t have an invite?”
Lady Jhiang stepped forward, bowing to Chu Yu and said, “Greetings to the Marquis.”
Seeing Lady Jhiang, Chu Yu quickly realized that Shao He had connected with the Jhiang Family.
“Since Lady Jhiang says she has an invite, why doesn’t she show it?” Luo Jiner pressed relentlessly.
She wanted to embarrass Shao He so that she would never again dare to show her face in public.
Jhiang Yijia’s lips curled slightly, and as she took Shao He’s arm, she spoke softly, “Before Doctor Shao ca here, we had already notified the nanny from the Princess’s Mansion, so she doesn’t need an invite. But what about this young lady here, do you have an invite to get in?”
“I…”
“Enough, the Princess’s birthday banquet is about to begin. Let’s go in and talk,” Chu Yu appropriately interrupted Luo Jiner, signaling her with his eyes to hold her tongue since he did not want to create any more trouble at the mont.
Luo Jiner, unable to swallow her frustration, squeezed the hand hidden in her sleeve, vowing that one day, she would make all those who looked down upon her pay!
“Let’s go inside as well,” Lady Jhiang said to Shao He with a smile, watching the others depart.
“Yes, thank you Lady Jhiang,” Shao He expressed her gratitude with a slight nod, acknowledging the favor.
