Chapter 697 Attitude of Asking for Help
After Lou Yulan separated from the wife of Duke Chengguo, she naturally had no carriage to use because she was just a concubine.
So after Shen Shuyi got on the carriage, she habitually wanted to follow.
Jinzhu stretched out her hand to stop her: "Cousin, our young lady's carriage was ordered by the princess. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to sit in it like this..."
Lou Yulan's face froze for a moment, and she felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured down on her.
She subconsciously looked at Shen Shuyi who had already entered the carriage, thinking that the other party could speak for her, but unfortunately, Shen Shuyi just didn't want to ride in the same carriage with her.
That’s right, she agreed to ask Mr. Liancheng to treat Song Tingshan, but not to put herself in a difficult position.
What's more, when asking for help, you must have the attitude of asking for help.
Lou Yulan had no choice but to step aside awkwardly. Jinzhu got on the carriage without any courtesy, completely ignoring Lou Yulan's expression.
What a joke! Their young lady didn't even want to eat at the same table with her, so how could she be willing to ride in the same carriage with her?
Lou Yulan looked back and saw that she could not ride in the same carriage with Mr. Liancheng behind her. In the end, she had to walk outside the carriage.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the side door of Duke Chengguo's Mansion.
After Shen Shuyi got off the car, Jin Zhu frowned and said, "Cousin, although you are the prince's concubine now, our lady is still a princess after all. How can you just go through the side door like this?"
Lou Yulan's expression froze for a moment, and she didn't know what to do.
She had kept the matter of inviting Mr. Liancheng on behalf of the Crown Prince a secret from the wife of Duke Chengguo. After all, although the Crown Prince did not say it explicitly, she knew that the wife of Duke Chengguo wished the Crown Prince would die soon.
Who would want the prince's illness to be cured?
So she just thought it would be better to keep a low profile.
What's more, she never expected that Shen Shuyi would agree so readily and bring Mr. Liancheng here today. Otherwise, she would definitely inform the prince and ask Shen Shuyi and Liancheng to meet at the inn outside.
But... it's too late to say anything now...
She was afraid that something might happen if she was too late. What if Shen Shuyi changed his mind?
"Cousin, it's okay for me to go through this side door, but if I come here rashly, I still need to get the consent of the Duke's wife." Shen Shuyi said with understanding.
Yu Ping nodded: "Yes, the gatekeeper won't let us in at all. We can't bully others and break into other people's houses just because the young lady is a princess."
"It was my negligence. I'll go and ask the old lady right away." Lou Yulan forced a smile, still looking like a weak and harmless little white flower.
Shen Shuyi looked at her back with a smile, but he was not in a hurry.
Lou Yulan felt uneasy, thinking that if Lady Chengguo knew about this, she would not let her off easily.
It was all her fault for being impulsive. As soon as Shen Shuyi agreed, she became overly excited and lost her sense of proportion, not considering all the details at all.
But for the sake of the prince, even if she was made difficult by the wife of Duke Cheng, she was willing...
When I think of Xiao Tingshan’s sickly body, I think of him tossing and turning every night, I think of him coughing up blood from time to time, and I think of his pale face.
Lou Yulan touched the baby in her belly. Even for the sake of the baby, she must find a way to cure the prince's illness.
Even if the disease cannot be cured, living a few more years is still a gain.
Thinking of this, there was a hint of determination in Lou Yulan's eyes.
The prince treats her so well, so what if she feels a little wronged?
Thinking of this, Lou Yulan quickened her pace, asked someone to pass the message, and asked to see the wife of Duke Chengguo.
The wife of Duke Chengguo had a sullen face and was sitting at the table drinking tea.
Unfortunately, the tea remained untouched and her face was gloomy, in stark contrast to the joy she had when she left.
"Lou Yulan is actually pregnant! How did you guys keep an eye on her? Such a big thing actually required Shen Jingyu, that half-human, half-ghost thing, to tell me!"
That’s right, the reason why Lady Chengguo was angry was because Lou Yulan was pregnant.
Although she was a concubine, the position of Song Tingshan's wife was now vacant.
If Lou Yulan's child was born safely, even if it was a concubine's child, the title might not be given to An Ge'er...
The most important thing is that this happened right under her nose, and the people she sent out didn't even notice it. It's really hateful!
"Madam, what should we do now?" The maid Hehuan asked in a low voice.
The wife of Duke Chengguo looked stern, "There's no need to rush. After all, Song Tingshan is still alive and well. But in this matter, either find him another wife and let the child be a concubine for the rest of his life, or get rid of the child..."
"Madam, this? It's better for a concubine to be pregnant than for his legitimate wife to be pregnant. Besides, you have finally helped the young master to get on the side of the Seventh Prince, so don't let anything go wrong at this time."
Hearing this, Lady Chengguo nodded and said, "You are right. We should really put An Ge'er's future first."
Even if that bitch Lou Yulan could really give birth to Song Tingshan's son, as long as Song Tingshan died, wouldn't she be able to deal with the young child?
What's more, the master is now on the same side as her and is on Ang'er's side.
At this moment, a maid came in hurriedly: "Madam, the prince's concubine Lou wants to see you."
Lady Chengguo sneered, "She's back? But why did she come to see me again?"
The maid whispered, "I heard that she seemed to have brought someone with her and wanted to enter the mansion, so I came to ask for your permission first."
Lady Chengguo narrowed her eyes and said, "Please ask her to come in. I want to see what she is up to!"
"Yes."
Soon, Lou Yulan came to the wife of Duke Chengguo. The wife of Duke Chengguo looked at Lou Yulan and said with a fake smile: "Why are you back so soon? It's rare for you to leave the house, why don't you take a good walk?"
Lou Yulan bowed and said, "In reply to your mother's words, I had a very pleasant conversation with my cousin, so I took the liberty of inviting my cousin to our home, and I would like to ask for your consent."
Lady Chengguo looked at Lou Yulan, and she felt very nervous.
"cousin?"
The servant immediately stepped forward and replied: "I heard that it was Princess Mingzhu who was appointed by His Majesty himself, but from the looks of it, Princess Mingzhu seems to have brought a doctor with her."
Hearing this, Lou Yulan's heart tightened and she hated this servant.
But it was obvious that he was the confidant of Lady Chengguo, so even if she hated him, she dared not do anything.
Lady Chengguo's mind raced. She looked at Lou Yulan and asked, "What doctor?"
Lou Yulan's heart tightened, and she clenched and unclenched the hands hanging by her side, and then released them and clenched them again.
But no matter how she thought about it, she felt that this matter could not be concealed, so she said, "In reply to mother's words, my cousin has a close relationship with Mr. Liancheng, so I thought of asking Mr. Liancheng to treat my husband. My husband has been coughing up blood these days, and I..."
'Snapped! '
Before Lou Yulan could finish her words, a loud slap hit her in the face, causing her to spin dizzily and fall to the ground.
"You are so brave!"
