Chapter 213 Zhong Xueying's Provocation
Chapter 213 Zhong Xueying's Provocation
After arranging everything, Song Qingwan concentrated on treating Zhao Huaijin and ignored other things for the time being.
In fact, Zhao Huaijin’s condition was not optimistic, but his desire to survive was very strong, and he managed to survive every time he had a high fever.
Song Qingwan stayed with him in the laboratory without sleep, and Shen Jingyi was also actively doing rehabilitation training. Everything was moving in a good direction.
From time to time, Song Qingwan thought of what Zhong Xuejiao said to her before she left. She said that Prince Yu and Zhong Xueying were planning something and asked her to be careful.
Is she also worried that Zhong Xuejiao and the others will not be implicated if they return to Prince Yu's Mansion?
In fact, if you think about it, how could Zhong Xueying not take advantage of the situation?
As soon as Zhong Xuejiao and Lan Xiaoxiao returned home that day, Zhong Xueying came to Zhong Xuejiao's yard with her maid and a group of old women.
Zhong Xuegang hadn't seen his daughter for a long time and was hugging her and kissing her. When he saw Zhong Xueying come in, he quickly asked Lan Xiaoxiao to take the child to the back.
Lan Xiaoxiao's face was full of worry. She held Qi Yue tightly and didn't want to leave.
"I want to stay here with my sister."
"Be obedient and go to the back. She won't dare to do anything to me."
Lan Xiaoxiao looked at the frightened Qi Yue in her arms, and could only grit her teeth, nodded, and carried her out.
Zhong Xueying was about to stop Lan Xiaoxiao when she saw her walking out, but she held back when she saw Princess Qi Yue in her arms. Although she didn't want to admit it, Qi Yue was indeed Prince Yu's only child.
No matter how arrogant and domineering she was, she couldn't do anything to Prince Yu's only child, so she could only let Lan Xiaoxiao go.
Zhong Xuejiao sat down in the main seat and motioned He Xiang to show Zhong Xueying a seat.
Zhong Xueying didn't hesitate and sat down in the middle seat, only two steps away from Zhong Xuejiao.
Zhong Xuejiao frowned in annoyance. Her sister was becoming more and more unruly.
"Why did you come to see me today?"
"Sister, you're asking anyway? You've been out of the palace with Concubine Lan for more than a month. Shouldn't you explain it clearly?"
Zhong Xueying acted like a principal wife, leaning lazily on one side, with a maid behind her fanning her respectfully.
Today, Zhong Xueying deliberately wore the princess's court dress and crown, and acted in a pretentious manner.
Zhong Xuejiao really didn't want to play Tai Chi with her sister. She had just returned home and wanted to be closer to her daughter, so she wanted to send her away.
"Although my sister and I are both princesses, I am your eldest sister after all, and Qi Yue's biological mother. It seems that there is no need to explain my affairs to you."
"Oh? Sister, are you questioning the prince's decision? I am the head of this mansion now. As the prince's woman, you went out for a month without permission. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Zhong Xueying looked at Zhong Xuejiao provocatively. She knew that Zhong Xuejiao no longer had any status in the prince's mind.
Although she didn't think Zhong Xuejiao was someone who could do anything great, she just wanted to make things difficult for her and make her bow to her.
Zhong Xuejiao felt furious after hearing what Zhong Xueying said, but she also knew that she couldn't argue with her, otherwise it would only make things worse.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then spoke.
"Sister, I know you have something against me, but I hope you won't bring your personal grudges to the palace. We are all the prince's women, and we should consider the prince and the harmony of the palace."
"Sister, are you teaching me a lesson? Who do you think you are? You are just a woman who has fallen out of favor. The prince doesn't like you anymore. Do you still think you are the mistress of the palace?" Zhong Xueying said relentlessly.
After hearing what Zhong Xueying said, Zhong Xuejiao became even angrier, but she still forced herself not to lose her temper. She knew that she couldn't argue with her, otherwise it would only make herself more embarrassed.
She glanced at the maid behind Zhong Xueying, and then said, "Sister, is the maid behind you new? She looks unfamiliar."
Zhong Xueying felt nervous after hearing what Zhong Xuejiao said. The identity of this maid was certainly not simple, but she must not let Zhong Xuejiao see anything.
"This is my new maid. What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
After hearing what Zhong Xueying said, Zhong Xuejiao sneered in her heart.
"No problem, I just think the people around my sister should be more careful and not let some unscrupulous people sneak into the palace."
After hearing what Zhong Xuejiao said, Zhong Xueying became even angrier. She said, "Sister, are you talking about my maid? Do you have any evidence? Don't slander me!"
"Sister, I'm not targeting your maid. I'm just reminding you. Don't be too sensitive."
After hearing what Zhong Xuejiao said, Zhong Xueying could no longer contain her anger.
"Are you provoking me? Who do you think you are? You are just a woman abandoned by the prince. What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson?"
"Zhong Xueying, don't go too far. I am the prince's woman and your sister. I hope you can respect me and yourself."
After hearing what Zhong Xuejiao said, Zhong Xueying felt even more proud. She even stood up and looked at Zhong Xuejiao with disdain.
"Do you think you are still the same Zhong Xuejiao? You are not anymore. You are now just a woman who has fallen out of favor, a woman abandoned by the prince. Do you think you still have any dignity? Your dignity has long been trampled under the feet of the prince."
Zhong Xueying's reaction made Zhong Xuejiao feel relieved. It seemed that she just came here to cause trouble on purpose and didn't think about the affairs of Prince Huai's Mansion.
Zhong Xuejiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to continue to entangle with Zhong Yuxueying, so she directly ordered her to leave.
"I just got home and I'm a little tired. Please go back, sister. I said I won't compete with you for favor, so don't worry."
"What on earth did my sister do outside that she hasn't come back for a month? Could she be doing some manual labor?"
Zhong Xueying glanced at Zhong Xuejiao with an ambiguous look, and the meaning was very clear, implying that Zhong Xuejiao was not innocent.
Zhong Xuejiao also decided not to tolerate it anymore. She hit the snake at its most vulnerable part and directly exposed Zhong Xueying's scar.
"Sister, if you have such energy, you should focus more on yourself. You have been in the mansion for more than a year and still haven't gotten pregnant. You should do more good deeds for yourself."
"Humph! I think you are jealous of me. You are so sarcastic because you can't compete with me. I just haven't given birth to a child yet. When I give birth to a legitimate son of the palace, I will see how you can be so proud!"
"Then let's wait until my sister gives birth. No matter how unwilling you are to accept it, Qi Yue is the prince's only child, and I am the most honorable mistress of this mansion."
Zhong Xuejiao raised her head and met Zhong Xueying's resentful gaze. She did not show any fear and even smiled disdainfully.
Just use whatever methods you have. She, Zhong Xuejiao, who is barefoot, is not afraid of those who wear shoes!
