Chapter 71: Yiniang and false affection
The reason why this servant risked his life to come inside and inform them, is because
Lin Chujius parents and relatives suddenly came to visit because they heard that she is seriously ill.
After the servant reported, Xiao Tianyao didnt say anything, while Lin Chujiu sighed and said: Its just a minor illness, so why do they need to come and visit on the same day with Divine Doctor Mo.
Lin Family is one of the families that are working as the government officials of the palace, so surely, they heard about her case a long time ago. But, they only just came today, now that Divine Doctor Mo is here? So obviously, they want to pick a fight. Thinking about this, Lin Chujiu had a headache.
Other sick people were resting in bed, but she? She still needs to cope up with these bunch of crazy people even though shes already feeling weak.
Lin Chujiu got a headache, so she rubbed her temples. Then, she looks at Xiao Tianyao with her pitiful looking face, hoping that he would help her blocked or sent away her so called parents and relatives because she really doesnt want to deal with them.
Unfortunately, even though Xiao Tianyao saw her pitiful face, he just said to bring Lin Xiang to his study room. And as for Lin Chujius stepmother and Aunt, he said to bring them here in this hall.
Doctor Mo, Wangfeis Family came to visit her, you can take a rest now. As for her disease, we can discuss it another day. Xiao Tianyao politely said. Still, Divine Doctor Mo doesnt want to treat Lin Chujiu, but of course, he wouldnt say that.
Before leaving, Mo Yuer who is walking behind her father specifically looked back at Lin Chujiu. And at the same time, Lin Chujiu looked up, so she saw the look in Mo Yuers eyes before she complete walk away.
Funny girl. Lin Chujiu is sure that Mo Yuers eyes just look at her with full of disgust and contempt. And there is even a high sense of superiority.
Superiority?
She really cannot understand this Mo Yuer. Why is she feeling so proud of herself anyway?
Is it because of their identity? If it is about their identity, then she is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister of East County, while shes only the daughter of a quack doctor. So, isnt her identity far superior to her?
Or is it because of her background? Well, she was given by the Emperor to be Xiao Tianyaos Wangfei. So, she can only be his second wife if they got married later. So, whats wrong with her?
Anyway, isnt this Mo Yuer being too much? Her father forces Xiao Tianyao to marry her even only as a second wife. So, she shouldnt be so proud of herself, right? Or does she think that with her beauty, she would be able to catch Xiao Tianyaos heart?
If that is what this Mo Yuer is thinking, then Lin Chujiu had to say that shes not worth the fun in Xiao Wangfu.
When Xiao Tianyao look at Lin Chujiu, he saw her sitting there while giggling on her own. So, he couldnt help but shook his head and smirk because he really doesnt know what happened to her.
Is she that scared with her parents and relatives, thats why she turns crazy?
Shes not this timid, right?
Xia Tianyao shook his head once again, then no longer pay attention to her. Hes not interested in Lin Family, so he doesnt want to get involved and just let Lin Chujiu solved her own predicament to her family.
Marrying a wife doesnt guarantee that youll gain more power because sometimes it could be the cause of your downfall. Well, that is true for Xiao Tianyao, so he didnt hesitate to send Lin Chujiu to the very back of his mansion. After all, he married the master of trouble.
Not long after Xiao Tianyao left, Lin Furen, Lin Wanting and Lin Chujius 3rd Aunt were led by the servant to come inside.
So, no matter how unhappy Lin Chujiu is inside her heart, she still needs to get up and meet them: Yiniang (Maternal Aunt/Concubine), Wanting, San Jiuniang (3rd Aunt) come inside please take a sit.
Yiniang? Lin Furen and Lin Chujius 3rd Aunt felt surprised, so her 3rd Aunt asked: Who are you calling Yiniang? After all, aside from her and Lin Furen, no one else was inside.
Of course, it is Lin Furen, my mothers sister. Lin Chujiu said to make things clear. So, her 3rd Aunt couldnt help but frown. On the other hand, Lin Wanting couldnt help but intervene, she looks at Lin Chujiu intently due to disappointment and said: Jiejie (Eldest Sister), its only been a couple months since you left the house, but you already forgot to call mother, Niang (Mother)?
Lin Wanting clutching her heart and was about to cry because of what she heard.
However, Lin Chujiu only smile: Wanting, my meimei (younger sister), life might be strange, but how can this princess forget that Lin Furen is my mothers sister ah? And also, in order to take care of me, she married into the Lin Family. So, calling her Yiniang is rather more intimate, right?
Lin Chujius smiling face and eyes look very sincere, so a person wouldnt be able to find any trace of wrong in her words. But still, hearing the word Yiniang is very uncomfortable for Lin Wanting because it means that her mothers identity is only a second wife. Lin Furen herself hates it so much when someone is calling her the second wife.
But because of her habit to act gentle and virtuous, Lin Furen cannot accuse Lin Chujiu that she is wrong. So, she only bites the bullet and patted Lin Wantings back to ease her anger, then said to Lin Chujiu: Chujiu, if calling me Yiniang is more intimate for you, you can do so.
Yiniang is very kind. Lin Chujiu said and smile, her smile looks so bright and beautiful, as if her sickness was swept away: Yiniang, San Jiuniang, hurry, come and sit here! I am really happy to see you all. Ive been really looking forward to this day.
Lin Chujiu said, but with such atmosphere, who wouldnt understand that this is Lin Chujius way to say that they had come very late.
The daughter or the niece is seriously ill for half a month now. But only the outsiders came to visit her at once. And as for her family? No one really came. But now that some genius came to Xiao Wangfu, they all come to visit. So, isnt this really funny?
Although her 3rd Aunt doesnt really like her, she also doesnt hate her. So, when she heard Lin Chujius words, she could only look at Lin Chujiu and said with a stiff smile: Jiuniang really wanted to come sooner, but suddenly I received a letter from Laofuren (Old Madam) that shell be back. So, in these past few days, Ive been very busy cleaning the house.
Waizumu (Maternal grandmother) will come back? What day? In the memory of the original Lin Chujiu, her maternal relatives were only afraid of this old lady. And if it wasnt for her, then the original Lin Chujiu wouldnt learn proper etiquette and will just grow completely in shame.
So, with the proper guidance of this old lady, Lin Chujiu was able to save herself several times now from shame.
Shell be back by sixteen. 3rd Aunt said while looking at Lin Chujiu from time to time. She noticed that ever since Lin Chujiu had married, it seems she had become sensible and no longer the arrogant lady, who only knows how to shout and complain.
Oh, let me know once Waizumu arrives so that Wangye and I will come to visit her. Im sure Waizumu havent seen Wangye. But, will Xiao Tianyao really go with her?
Well, she helps Xiao Tianyao these past few days, so he should help her once or twice in return, right? How great would that be if he really does?
Good, good, thats good. Laofuren would certainly be happy once she sees you and Wangye. When she heard Lin Chujius words, the smile on her face got a bit brighter than before, while Lin Furens smile also showed.
They all suddenly give Lin Chujiu a face not because she becomes sensible, but because with Lin Chujius words. They learned that Prince Xiao really valued her.
Whether Prince Xiao will stay powerless or not in the future, as long as he doesnt rebel, he is still a prince and a member of the imperial family. So, they still couldnt afford to offend him
Prince Xiao couldnt get the Emperor, but how about them?
