Medical Princess

Chapter 1185 Two People With the Same Intent

Thank you readers!

“You’re too courteous, Lord Wen!” Shao Wanru said gently. As expected, she saw him right after talking about him.

“Greetings, Princess Chen!” The delicate voice made Shao Wanru look at Gu Xishu, and then she looked at E’niang, who bowed sideways with Gu Xishu.

What a coincidence. She knew all of them.

“Princess Chen, do you want that ginseng?” Wen Xichi asked.

“I happen to need it for a kind of medicine and want to give it to my grandma,” Shao Wanru explained.

“Then it shall be yours. In fact, I don’t have any necessary use for it.” Wen Xichi looked at the shop-boy beside him with a calm face. When the shop-boy saw that the real booker had arrived, he immediately took out the ginseng.

Gu Xishu’s face darkened. She seemed to want to reach out to stop Wen Xichi, but she didn’t dare to. When she had disputes with Shao Wanru in the past, Shao Wanru was not Princess Chen yet. Now that their identities were completely different, Gu Xishu didn’t dare to argue with Shao Wanru but just glared at her vaguely.

She had intended to ask Wen Xichi for the ginseng, so she found an excuse to come out with him. Unexpectedly, Shao Wanru intercepted her. How could she not hate Shao Wanru?

Anyway, she just didn’t like Shao Wanru.

“Third Cousin met other Misses occasionally before, but he fancies none of them as he does with Princess Chen here.” She couldn’t tell why exactly she felt this way, but she had a feeling that her guess was true.

She hated Shao Wanru.

“What… I can’t! I can’t take away your ginseng.” Shao Wanru shook her head and politely refused.

“Don’t worry, Princess Chen. It’s not a big deal. I just booked it when I saw a suitable one. If you’re too embarrassed, you can tell me next time you see such suitable ginseng,” Wen Xichi said indifferently.

Since he had said that, it was inappropriate for Shao Wanru to refuse again. After thanking him again, she asked the shop-boy to wrap up the ginseng and Yujie went to pay the bill.

“Greetings, Princess Chen!” During this period, E’niang stepped forward with a smile and bowed to Shao Wanru again. It was like Shao Wanru had not seen it just now.

Shao Wanru looked up and looked at her indifferently. E’niang was dressed differently from the one she had seen for the first time. In terms of temperament, she looked calm, as if she had really been educated by a good family. With a trace of obscure cold light flashing in Shao Wanru’s eyes, she wondered, “Why does Shao Jing care so much about this woman?

“Why does he want to turn her into a member of Marquis Xing’s Mansion wholeheartedly?”

Shao Wanru glanced at her with indifferent eyes as if she didn’t hear her words. She turned to the counter on one side, looked at some medicinal materials on the counter, and quietly waited for Yujie to come over.

E’niang was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes turned red with some grievance, but she did not dare to say anything. She deliberately turned her head, feeling ashamed and guilty.

Gu Xishu leaned over to Wen Xichi, curled her lips, and said softly, “That’s impolite.”

Wen Xichi ignored her and looked at the medicine counter in front of him calmly as if he was also checking the medicinal materials on it, but he didn’t leave.

Yujie came back soon. After Yujie came back, Shao Wanru nodded to Wen Xichi and said goodbye. As for Gu Xishu and E’niang, she ignored them and turned to leave with a group of people.

Seeing that Shao Wanru had left, Gu Xishu stamped her feet in anger and said with some grievance, “Third Cousin, did you see what Princess Chen did? How could she do this? We bowed to her, but she treated us like this. It’s really… really…”

“Cousin, please mind your words,” Wen Xichi said coldly. He stepped back and kept a distance from Gu Xishu. “Princess Chen has a noble status. No one can make unpleasant remarks about her.”

Of course, he was indicating Gu Xishu’s behavior.

Gu Xishu didn’t expect Wen Xichi to embarrass her like this. For a moment, she was ashamed and angry. Her pink face turned red, and she looked at Wen Xichi with tears in her eyes, as if she would cry the next moment.

She looked extremely delicate and pitiful. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

Wen Xichi acted as if he didn’t see her. He turned around, took a few steps in another direction, pointed to a medicinal material on the counter, and asked the shop-boy in the pharmacy to take it out so that he could check it out. He left Gu Xishu there alone.

Gu Xishu was indeed hypocritical. In the past, when the affair between her and her second cousin had not been discovered, as long as she acted like this, her third cousin would definitely be soft-hearted and get her whatever she wanted while comforting her.

Later, because the thing between her and her second cousin had been discovered, she did not dare to play tricks on her third cousin in the mansion. But now it had been a long time, and they were outside the mansion. Gu Xishu thought that she could still act as before, but she did not expect Wen Xichi to embarrass her.

Seeing that there were even people looking at her around, she wiped her face with a handkerchief, cried, and ran out.

E’niang looked at Wen Xichi, who had his hands clasped behind his back as if he didn’t know what was going on. She could only chase after Gu Xishu with Gu Xishu’s servant girl.

In the corner beside the door of the pharmacy, Gu Xishu tilted her head and wiped her tears, feeling wronged.

E’niang took a few steps forward. She sighed softly, reached out to hold her in her arms, and comforted her softly, “Xishu, don’t be angry. Your Third Cousin doesn’t seem to get your feelings.”

Gu Xishu cried in E’niang’s arms and blurted out, “Aunt Lu, how could he not get it? Third Cousin is so smart. How could he not get it? He just doesn’t want to talk to me, but why? I love him wholeheartedly. How… how could he do this to me?”

It could be said that she was fated with E’niang. Although they got along well with each other because of their schemes, when they really started hanging out with each other, Gu Xishu found that Lu E’niang was much gentler than her aunt.

She had been raised in the Mansion of the Prime Minister since she was a child. Now, even if her parents wanted her back, she felt that they were not close to her. The older women around her were all servants. Although her only aunt was close to her, she had noble status. Sometimes, she had to wrong Gu Xishu for the sake of the other people in the mansion. In comparison, Lu E’niang was more agreeable to her and acted like an elder who wholeheartedly protected her.

“Men are like this. Even if he agrees to be with you in his heart, he has to show his disapproval in front of others. Besides, your affairs in the mansion… have not been handled yet. That is his second brother. Your current identity is very embarrassing,” E’niang persuaded in a soft voice.

They were congenial to each other, and E’niang was good at dealing with things. She knew how Gu Xishu was doing. At first glance, she knew that Gu Xishu lacked a close friend to whom she could talk, so she figured out some truths with a few words.

Gu Xishu knew that E’niang was going to get into Marquis Xing’s Mansion, so she didn’t mind telling E’niang about her affairs. Besides, she felt that E’niang seemed to be able to help her, so she told her the truth.

The only people around her who could come up with ideas were a female servant, who was a little ignorant. Lu Eniang in front of her was just right to make up for the shortcomings of the female elders around her, and she could also help her make some reliable ideas.

“Second Cousin likes me. It’s none of my business. I don’t want to marry him. I want to marry Third Cousin,” Gu Xishu said willfully.

It had been so long since what had happened before, and her father was going to be promoted again. Even her uncle could not make her become her second cousin’s concubine. Naturally, she would be a legal wife. With her father’s promotion, Gu Xishu became more confident.

Since she was going to be a legal wife, why couldn’t she be her third cousin’s legal wife?

“But your second cousin has made it clear in front of Madam Wen that he is going to marry you,” E’niang said. This was also said by Gu Xishu. Of course, she hid what had happened between her and Wen Shian. This kind of thing naturally made people feel that this girl was cheap and shameless.

“So what? Anyway, I won’t marry Second Cousin. I want to marry Third Cousin.” Gu Xishu cried. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. “I’ve been carefully pleasing Uncle’s family for so many years. Didn’t I do it just to marry Third Cousin? Aunt has always been very kind to me. Why can’t she read my mind?”

Gu Xishu wholeheartedly felt that Madam Wen had treated her badly, but she didn’t believe that she and Wen Shian had been ambiguous for a long time and had been caught. How could Madam Wen let her marry her favorite third son, even though she was her niece?

“Actually, there is a way…” E’niang thought for a moment and said in a low voice, “As long as your second brother marries another woman, won’t this matter be solved?”

“Marry another woman?” Gu Xishu’s eyes lit up. She wiped her tears and stopped crying. “But Second Cousin is very stubborn. He won’t like another woman.”

Speaking of this, Gu Xishu was a little complacent and blushed.

“Isn’t Madam Wen going to choose a wife for the Third Young Master in a few days? There must be a lot of Young Madams coming at that time. We’ll get one… and send them together. Your second cousin has to marry her even if he doesn’t want to. Misses of that status are not easy to offend.” E’niang suggested for her.

In fact, someone had come up with such an idea for Gu Xishu before, but it was her personal servant who came up with it. She didn’t like it. But when E’niang offered her the same idea, Gu Xishu found it very reasonable. She thought that the daughter of the former imperial censor was indeed knowledgeable, but the specifics still need to be discussed carefully.

“Aunt Lu, please help me!” Gu Xishu said. She held E’niang’s hand and felt that she had found someone who could help her gain knowledge. However, she did not expect that E’niang was still just a servant. She had been with Infanta Qinghua for a few years and had gained some knowledge. For the rest of the time, she was still just an ignorant servant who did not know some rules of aristocratic families.

It was Shao Jing who invited someone to help her. The past few days of hard work seemed to make E’niang appear more decent and knowledgeable at present, but she was still the servant girl deep down.

“Miss Gu, don’t worry. I’ll help you.” E’niang smiled brightly. Seeing the trust in Gu Xishu’s eyes, she also felt uneasy. She didn’t expect that someone would trust her so much. Sure enough, identity was the most important thing. When she became the Madam of Marquis Xing in the future, more people would truly respect her.

Since the matter had been settled, Gu Xishu wiped her tears, returned to the pharmacy, and stood beside Wen Xichi. She was as soft as a bird and didn’t lose her temper again, but carefully considered getting rid of Wen Shian in her heart. She could only marry her third cousin when she got rid of Wen Shian, who kept approaching her.
