Chapter 271 Pei Mansion, a two-faced man
After returning to the mansion, Yao Qingnian did not take today's events to heart. He sat in the yard, took milk tea from the space, and poured a cup for Shan Wei and Linglong.
"Miss, what is this! It's so fragrant and sweet. I've never tasted it before." Linglong took a sip and her eyes widened.
"I've been in the capital for many years and have never drunk it." Even Shan Wei was amazed by the taste.
"This is milk tea. If you like it, I'll make it for you when I'm free."
"I like it! It's delicious!" Linglong drank the jelly in the milk tea, and her cheeks bulged. It might be because she and Shen Nianran suffered a lot in the countryside. Although she is older than Yao Qingnian, her body looks much smaller.
"Drink slowly!" Yao Qingnian said with a smile.
Yao Qingnian was drinking milk tea when she suddenly remembered what Shan Wei said before, that she knew all the gossip about the women in the backyard. So she took advantage of her free time to ask, "Shan Wei, tell me if there are any other secrets or other things in the Pei Mansion that are not to be seen, and what happened between my mother and the Pei Mansion. I want to know, the more details the better. This Pei Qianxin is so annoying. I didn't provoke her, but she pops up from time to time. It's really annoying. I need to know about the mess in their family so that I can deal with it in the future."
"Okay, Miss, then I'll start with Earl Pei!"
"Okay! Don't stand there, sit down and talk." Yao Qingnian asked Linglong to get everyone in the yard to leave, leaving only three of them sitting in the yard to listen to Shan Wei talking about the Earl's Mansion.
“When the old Earl was alive, the Earl’s Mansion was still crowded with people and held an important position in the court. After the old Earl passed away, the title was inherited by Earl Pei. Although he was not reused, due to the old Earl’s contribution to the court, life in the mansion was not bad.
Since the untimely death of Earl Pei, the palace has been getting worse day by day. Pei Zongzheng is a man who does not want to make progress and does not work all day long. Mrs. Pei has come to the palace several times to mention the matter of inheriting the title, but the emperor has always brushed it off.
The marriage between the Pei and Shen families was arranged when the lady had just married and gave birth to the eldest son. At that time, Earl Pei was still alive and admired Shen Wenting very much. In addition, the ladies of the two families were on good terms, so the matter naturally came to fruition. I don't know any other details.
As for Madam Pei, she is not as magnanimous as outsiders see her. On the contrary, she is a hypocritical person, especially... Although she appears to be on good terms with the lady, she is actually just trying to curry favor with the power of the lady's family. The Earl's Mansion is not as good as before, and it all depends on Madam Pei's dowry to maintain it.
Therefore, I got a lot of good things from Madam in various ways, but Madam didn't realize it..." Shan Wei told Yao Qingnian about some things that happened between the two families over the years. Yao Qingnian was stunned and thought that Madam Pei was a little different and Pei Qianhuan was just spoiled.
It seems that this is not the case. If the mother was not like this, she would not have raised a daughter like this.
I had originally thought that after accepting Mrs. Pei's bracelet, I would find a chance to return it someday. But now it seems that there is no need to do so. Compared with the gift that Chen gave to Mrs. Pei, it is nothing but a drop in the ocean and not worth mentioning.
After Yao Qingnian learned about all the big and small things in the Earl's Mansion, he already had a rough idea of what kind of person Madam Pei was. It seemed that Chen Shuhua should stop associating with such two-faced people in the future, otherwise he would stab you in the back at any time.
Dingwangfu.
Princess Zi Ning was carried onto a carriage and hurriedly sent back to Prince Ding's Mansion.
When Emperor Cang Ling quelled the rebellion and ascended the throne, Prince Ding made an indispensable contribution. He holds great power and his status cannot be shaken by ordinary people.
The carriage entered Prince Ding's mansion and sent the princess back to her own courtyard. Immediately, a maid informed Princess Ding. Upon hearing the news that the princess was critically ill, Princess Ding almost fainted. She forced herself to walk quickly over and said, "Zining, my dear Zining, how are you?"
"Mother..." Princess Zi Ning said weakly as she lay on the bed with a pale face.
"Stop talking and have a good rest. I'll ask the doctor to take a good look at you. You scared me to death!" Princess Ding breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her lying in bed. She ordered someone to quickly invite the imperial physician over.
In the princess's room there were the maids Feicui and Doctor Rong, and standing next to them was Pei Qianhuan, who also came over.
"Doctor Rong, how is the princess doing?" Princess Ding asked with concern.
"There's nothing serious going on for now." Doctor Rong reported truthfully.
The imperial physician said that Zi Ning would not live past the age of 18. Princess Ding was mentally prepared, but she still found it hard to accept when she heard her daughter fainted.
"Who is this?" Princess Ding noticed Pei Qianru standing nearby and asked.
"Greetings, Princess Ding. I am Pei Qianhuan from the Earl's Mansion." She bowed obediently. "I ran into the princess today at the clothing store. I wanted to arrange a meal with her, but she fainted before I even walked out the door. I was worried about her safety, so I followed her to check on her. Please forgive me, Princess."
"From the Earl's Mansion? Miss Pei is thoughtful."
"You're welcome, Princess." After a brief inquiry, Princess Ding ignored her and focused on looking at Princess Zi Ning lying on the bed.
Doctor Rong was also a famous female doctor in the capital, and her medical skills were beyond doubt, otherwise she would not have been arranged to be by the princess's side. Doctor Rong and other doctors in the mansion gathered in the princess's room to take her pulse.
Several doctors knew about the princess's condition. When they saw her again, they looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
The princess' pulse seemed to be better than before, but when they rushed over just now, they heard the servants report that the princess had fainted and lost consciousness, and even her pulse and heartbeat were gone. Now, she didn't look like she had just recovered from an illness.
Princess Ding's eyes were filled with worry. "I finally recovered after half a year of recuperation, and my condition improved a little. I didn't expect that after going out, I suddenly became ill again... How could this happen?"
The maid Feicui replied, "The princess was fine at first, but when she walked to the door, she suddenly fainted without any warning. She was unconscious and her heartbeat and breathing stopped."
"What? The heartbeat has stopped. What happened next?" Princess Ding was horrified.
"Princess, the situation was critical at the time. Everyone thought that the princess had no chance of being saved. It was all thanks to Miss Shen from the Shangshu Mansion who gave the princess first aid. After pressing for a while, the princess miraculously recovered and woke up." Doctor Rong continued.
"Miss Shen from Shangshu Mansion, Shen Youran?"
"No, Princess. It is said that the Shangshu's wife brought her back from the countryside. It was she who saved the princess." Although the maid was reluctant to admit it, she knew that she had indeed saved the princess, so she answered truthfully.
"Brought back from the countryside?"
"Yes, Princess Ding, this woman's name is Shen Nianran. My mother and Madam Shen are close friends. She said it in front of everyone that day. But this person is so vulgar and she just came back from the countryside. How could she know any medical skills? She was just doing it recklessly. She treated the princess so roughly and pressed on her heart. The princess woke up because of the pain."
If she was really that powerful, then there would be no dead people in the world, and the dead could be brought back to life by simply pressing a button. Therefore, Pei Qianhuan would never believe that the princess was cured by that bitch.
