Prime Minister’s Illegitimate Daughter - Chapter 5
“Miss, Miss, are you alright?” “Huh?” Cores came running in from outside the door, looking nervous. Ye Zichen looked them up and down.
“What can I do for you?” Chu Mengli looked at the core that was behind her.
“This servant just saw Second Miss and Third Miss leave our garden. Third Miss, did you bully them again?” “Core’s eye rings are red.” Third Miss has always bullied you, but your injuries have not yet healed! “The Second Miss also has a fake heart. On the surface, she looked kind and gentle, but in reality, she was pretending to be kind and righteous. Ignoring everything else, the Third Miss just turned a blind eye and watched as you were bullied. If there really is a mother, then there must be a daughter.”
Chu Meng Li held onto Zhong Xia’s hand: “How come you’re useless?” “If it wasn’t for you taking care of my wounds that day in time, I might have lost my body by the time Doctor Gu arrives.”
“But how will you marry Miss Scar in the future?” Corey tidied up the table, worried.
“Then I won’t marry anyone.” Chu Mengli comforted the two of them, “Besides, a person who takes his appearance seriously is not your young miss!” If you truly love me and protect me, why would you care about such a small wound? ”
Corey and Zhong Xia were a little worried about their young lady’s generosity and optimism.
“Xin’er, hurry up and pack up. Once you’re done, we’ll go pay our respects to the Bai Clan in the Guanning Courtyard.” Chu Mengli saw the two of them frowning and quickly changed the topic.
“Greetings?” Zhong Xia was in a daze, and the Miss had always been afraid of the Madam. Other than summoning her, she had never taken the initiative to go to the Guanning Courtyard.
“What do you want? “Madam has always been concerned about her reputation, but she doesn’t like Miss. Miss Ren is usually bullied by the people in the various courtyards and even the little girl’s wife is giving Master face.” Corell pursed her lips.
Chu Mengli laughed without a care, “In the past, if you were to be bullied, we will endure. Do you still want to endure in the future?” “I’ll get it back sooner or later. I’ll take you to collect some interest today.”
Since the young miss had been injured, Corn and Zhong Xia felt that their entire personality had changed. They felt that their words could be trusted unconditionally. Perhaps, like the Miss said, when a person dies once, there will always be some changes. This change was something to rejoice about in their eyes.
“Then, Miss, please change your clothes!” Cores opened the cabinet.
“No need, just this set is pretty good.” Chu Mengli said casually.
Chu Mengli walked out of the courtyard with Little Ming’er in her arms. As she walked, she looked around her surroundings.
Flowers in a cluster, carved and painted, pavilions and pavilions. The verandah had a graceful and irregular shape. Circumventing the yellow rock rockery, a dark green lake, full of pink lotus flowers, the beginning of the leaf tender flowers. There was an octagonal pavilion within the lake, and it was connected to the shore by a white jade bridge. The courtyards of the Prime Minister’s Estate were arranged in a circle around the lake and the little garden.
Even in the modern era, the country’s leaders would not receive such treatment!
After walking for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they arrived at the gate of Gui Ning Yuan. Without needing to inform Chu Mengli to step into the courtyard, there were two old wives sweeping the area.
“Fourth Miss, are you here to pay respects to Madam?” A voice that sounded like an oriole pulled back Chu Mengli’s gaze.
She was wearing a long pink colored dress embroidered with willow branches. She had two exquisite pouches hanging from her waist and two silver hairpins on her head. She looked like a delicate and pretty girl. Chu Mengli knew that this was the maidservant Su Jin who was standing beside the Bai clan. From the looks of her clothes, it seemed like she was from a certain clan.
Chu Mengli lowered her head to look at her plain long skirt. Other than the dragonfly hairpin on her head, there was nothing else on her body. He sighed inwardly.
“Sister Sujin, is mother in? I came to pay my respects to my mother. ” Chu Mengli’s voice was soft as she entered into the afterimage mode.
“The Madam is here! “I’m talking to Second Young Miss right now. Third Young Miss and Aunt Liu are here as well. This servant will lead you in!” Sujin seemed to enjoy the sound of her sister.
“Thank you, Sister Susu Jin!” Core couldn’t bear to see his young miss lower her status, so he quickly opened his mouth to thank her.
Chu Mengli followed Su Jin into the lobby.
“Madam, Fourth Miss has arrived in person.” Su Jin stood behind Bai Shi when she saw the respect in his eyes.
In the room, Mrs Bai who was talking to Chu Mengdie was stunned when she saw Chu Mengli. It seemed that she did not expect her to come greet them, but she quickly recovered, “Fourth Sister is here, quickly come and let mother take a look.” His tone was warm, but it was devoid of any sincerity.
Chu Mengli raised her head slightly and saw that Madame Bai was sitting in the master’s chair. She wore a head made of gold silk and had emeralds embedded in her hair. Her makeup was elegant, showing how beautiful she was all those years ago. The outer cover gold edge of the chiffon, the front are inlaid with pearl jadeite, it is graceful.
“Greetings to mother from daughter.” Chu Mengli bent her knees and slightly bowed. She stood up without waiting for Bai Shi to speak.
“Screech!” “The fourth sister has been waiting for a long time. It’s almost noon, don’t tell me the fourth sister didn’t wake up until late morning?” Chu Mengshuang, who was sitting below, covered her mouth and sneered. Her words were harsh.
“Shuang’er!” “Your fourth sister is still young, so it’s only natural for her to want to sleep.”
His words seemed to be berating Chu Mengshuang, but in reality, he was secretly ridiculing Chu Mengli for being disrespectful to his mistress. Even greeting her was perfunctory.
Chu Mengli understood the meaning behind his words and ignored it, saying to Bai Shi, “Your daughter has always been sickly since she was young, and has always been on the bed sick. Your mother has been merciful, so I forbid your daughter from paying my respects every day. Your mother will worry about your unfilial daughter.”
“What are you talking about, fourth sister?” You are also my mother’s daughter, and the back of your hand is meat. Chu Mengdie stepped forward to hold onto Chu Mengli’s hand and gently said.
The Bai clan thought about how Chu Zhennan would return soon, all these years because he treated his concubine daughter well in the backyard, Chu Zhennan was very pleased, and he also had a lot of respect for himself, so he had to put on an act.
“Die’er is right, you and Shuang’er are mother’s daughters, it is normal for mother to worry about you. Yesterday, I heard Die’er say that you were injured?” Mother originally wanted to come see you in your courtyard today, but who would’ve thought that you, a child, would come and pay respects to me first.
Heh, he had been injured for so many days, and he didn’t believe that she didn’t know. As for her wanting to see him, it was nothing more than beautiful words on the surface. However, with just a few short sentences, she had figured out the Bai clan’s attitude towards him.
Chu Mengli put on a flattered expression and quickly thanked him, “Your daughter doesn’t dare to bother your mother. Her injury is not serious, she has already recovered.” After saying that, she sneakily glanced at Chu Mengshuang.
This small movement naturally didn’t escape Bai Shi’s eyes. She naturally knew what had happened to Chu Mengli. Madame Bai had her own plans and plans. If this Die’er were to marry the crown prince, the crown prince would inevitably have to recruit powerful officials. The best way to achieve this was to form an alliance through marriage. Chu Mengli and Chu Mengshuang had to pave the way for Die’er. This was one of the reasons why the Bai clan hated Shen Yi but did not touch Chu Mengli.
Chu Zhennan would definitely be unable to hide Chu Meng Li’s injury in a few days, so Chu Zhen Nan would definitely blame him for not taking good care of her, and when he thought of this, he could not help but blame Chu Meng Shuang. But since Chu Meng Shuang and Aunt Liu were relying on him, it was very useful for him, and her actions also made him happy, so he had to protect her.
“That’s great. A few days ago, I got a 500 year old ginseng, and you just recovered from your illness. Su Jin, go to the storehouse and give the 100 year old ginseng to Fourth Miss.”
Su Jin agreed.
“Mother is biased, if there’s anything good, just give it to Fourth Sister. Shuang’er is jealous.” Chu Mengshuang ran over to Bai Shi with small steps, squatted down, and said coquettishly while lying down on her lap.
Bai Shi lightly touched Chu Mengshuang’s forehead with her dainty hand and jokingly scolded, “You child, what good thing has mother not thought of you?” Your fourth sister is injured and needs to be healed. You still need to care about that. ” Saying that, he let out a faint sigh, “Your father and I wish for you two sisters to live in harmony, a happy family. Your father is the prime minister, and countless pairs of eyes stare at him from the shadows. You two shouldn’t cause trouble for your father.” After she finished speaking, she looked deeply into Chu Mengli’s eyes.
“Yes, mother.” The three of them replied at the same time.
Chu Mengli sneered in her heart, was she going to use a ginseng to cover her mouth? Tell me not to complain to my father. Humph! Of course I won’t, because it’s not time yet. However, just one ginseng was not enough.
At this time, Sujin brought out the ginseng and gave it to Chu Mengli.
Chu Mengshuang and Aunt Liu were so jealous that their eyes were red, but it wasn’t good for them to flare up. He glared at Chu Mengli angrily.
