Chapter 404: Double Happiness (2)

There were a total of two Princesses in Nanzhao. The Eldest Princess had long severed ties with Nanzhao, so the person who made a deal with Lady Wan of Bright Deportment should be the Little Princess, the lucky star of Nanzhao.

But that was strange, wasn’t it? Yan Jiuchao had no enmity with the Little Princess. Why would she harm him?

A woman’s intuition was always sharper than a man.

In a flash, Yu Wan thought of the “mistress” that Mrs. Yao had mentioned. When Yan Jiuchao was seven years old, the mistress appeared in Yan City with her son. Then, when Yan Jiuchao was eight years old, Prince Yan pa.s.sed away. In the same year, Yan Jiuchao was harmed by the royal family of Nanzhao.

Could it be that Prince Yan’s mistress was the Little Princess of Nanzhao? Xiao Zhenting also had his own guess, but his status was sensitive, so there were some things he could not say.

Yan Jiuchao drank Old Cui’s medicine and fell asleep. Shangguan Yan accompanied him in the room for a while and returned home with Xiao Zhenting. One was her son, and the other was her husband. It had not been easy for her all these years.

“Old Cui!” Yu Wan took the prescription to the backyard. Old Cui was drying the medicine.

“What are you doing here again?” Old Cui said angrily.

Yu Wan raised her eyebrows and said, “This is my house. I can go wherever I want.”

“Hmph!” Old Cui rolled his eyes.

Yu Wan handed the prescription she had obtained from Lady Wan of Bright Deportment to Old Cui. “Take a look and see if this is the antidote for the Fragrance of Hundred Miles?”

“Where did you get the prescription?” Old Cui asked strangely.

Yu Wan said indifferently, “Don’t worry about this. You just have to study this prescription and see if it can cure my husband’s poison.”

Old Cui pursed his lips and reluctantly returned to his room with the prescription. Yu Wan also returned to the upper room.

Zi Su fetched water. “Princely Heir Consort, wash your face first.”

“Okay.” Yu Wan walked over and soaked her hands in the silver basin sprinkled with petals. She suddenly thought of something and said to Zi Su, “Take ten taels of silver and reward it to Fu Ling.”

Zi Su was stunned. Ten taels of silver was her monthly salary for two months. What great merit did Fu Ling make for the Princely Heir Consort to reward her like this? Did something… happen in the temple that she didn’t know about?

Zi Su felt a sense of danger in her heart. Of course, she was also a little jealous. But she was the first-cla.s.s maidservant of the Princely Heir Consort after all. She did not covet that bit of money. What she cared about was the Princely Heir Consort’s att.i.tude. She hoped that she was the Princely Heir Consort’s most capable confidant.

“Then… Do you want to transfer Fu Ling to the room?” Zi Su asked softly. The meaning of the room was the same as that of the first-cla.s.s maidservant of the Qingfeng Courtyard.

Yu Wan wiped her hands with a handkerchief. “There’s no need. This is very good.”

In that case, she was still the only first-cla.s.s maidservant. Zi Su felt better. Zi Su took the water and left. Just as she was about to cross the threshold, Yu Wan said softly, “You and Fu Ling are both people I chose. I had the same trust for you as her. However, there are some things that are better for you to do, and some things are more appropriate to hand over to her.”

Zi Su was enlightened and turned around guiltily. “I know my mistake.”

Yu Wan nodded. “You can leave.”

The maidservants in the Qingfeng Courtyard were all not bad. Tao’er was honest, Li’er was smart, and Ban Xia was efficient. However, the only one who could take charge was Zi Su. As for Fu Ling, she was half a bodyguard. Yu Wan did not want the two most capable maidservants to have internal strife. Of course, the one who had internal strife was Zi Su. As long as Fu Ling was full, she would not think too much.

Yu Wan went to the kitchen to cook two side dishes. When she returned to the room, Yan Jiuchao happened to wake up and the couple ate.

In the two days that Yu Wan went to the temple, Yan Jiuchao’s appet.i.te had not been good. It was difficult to eat even half a bowl of rice. It was different when Yu Wan returned. Yan Jiuchao finished a plate of sour lotus root cabbage, and a pot of crucian carp tofu soup, not even letting go of a piece of green onion.

The chef chuckled.

After lunch, Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao sat under a large locust tree in the backyard.

The weather was hot. Yu Wan asked the servants to bring a bucket of ice and place the washed lychee on it. The little snow fox was also feeling extremely hot. It ran over with its tongue out and lay on the ice.

Yan Jiuchao grabbed its neck with his slender fingers and mercilessly picked it up. Without the ice, the little snow fox flapped its four little claws resentfully!

Yan Jiuchao curled his lips playfully and placed it on a small table at the side. He gently rubbed its little white stomach with his fingertips.

The little snow fox was extremely comfortable. However, it suddenly stood up and hugged Yan Jiuchao’s index finger with its two little claws. It pressed his finger into the ice.
