Chapter 698 Feeling like old friends at first sight

Lou Yulan's ears were buzzing and her cheeks were burning with pain.

"Lou Yulan, do you really think I'm made of clay? You used me to ask a doctor for Tingshan without authorization. Have you ever thought about who will take the responsibility if something goes wrong?"

The wife of Duke Chengguo suddenly attacked, catching Lou Yulan off guard.

Lou Yulan's eyes were red as she looked at the wife of Duke Chengguo in a daze.

During these days, she has been serving her stepmother wholeheartedly and attentively, even trying to please her.

Perhaps because of Concubine Jing, she treated her kindly.

But she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, just because she asked Mr. Liancheng to treat the prince, she turned into this face...

When she thought of this, Lou Yulan felt both angry and distressed.

He had long known that his biological mother was secretly plotting against or even poisoning the prince, but he did not expect that her true colors would be revealed when he just found a doctor to treat the prince.

But... Mr. Liancheng was invited by me with great difficulty, and Shen Shuyi is not easy to talk to. If I miss this opportunity, in the future...

When she thought of this, Lou Yulan secretly made up her mind that even if it was for Song Tingshan, she would let the prince meet Mr. Liancheng today no matter what.

"Mother, the prince's illness has been treated by many doctors, but to no avail. I was just thinking about it."

Before Lou Yulan could finish her words, she was interrupted again by the wife of Duke Chengguo.

"It's a good thing that you care about his health. Do you think I, as a mother, don't care? But you should never lie to me!"

Lady Chengguo was indeed very angry. She had always thought that Lou Yulan was smart and knew how to please her, and she thought that introducing her to the Seventh Prince's wife was no big deal.

But I didn't expect that she went to such great lengths to use herself and actually got help from Mr. Liancheng from Shen Shuyi!

That’s the Ghost Doctor Liancheng. What if he really cured Song Tingshan’s illness?

"Mother is right. It's all Yulan's fault. But my cousin and Mr. Liancheng are already waiting outside the door. Please ask mother to let them in first." Lou Yulan pleaded softly, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Huh? You can come in just like that? Are you the one in charge of the Chengguo Mansion?" Lady Chengguo scolded coldly.

"Mother……"

"Let me ask you, if anything happens to the prince, can you take responsibility for it?" Lady Chengguo continued to ask.

Lou Yulan clenched her fingers, hating herself for having such a smooth life recently that she became careless.

She gave a lot of gold, silver, pearls and jade to the wife of Duke Chengguo, so the wife of Duke Chengguo had always been very easy to talk to. But unexpectedly, she would turn against him so quickly.

"Mother, I just want Mr. Liancheng to take the prince's pulse. Nothing will go wrong. We can ask other doctors for advice." Lou Yulan spoke every word sincerely.

She really had a hard time getting this opportunity.

The Lou family was not wealthy, and she did not have enough money to try again.

"Please, please, mother!" Lou Yulan knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard.

Lady Chengguo stared at her in silence, thinking silently in her heart.

Princess Mingzhu is the new favorite of the Empress Dowager, and we must not offend her because of such a trivial matter.

Now that they were already outside the door, she couldn't really stop them from coming in. Otherwise, if the news got out, it would be bad for her reputation and would also affect An Ge'er...

Lady Chengguo was troubled and couldn't come up with a good solution.

But in just a few moments, Lou Yulan's forehead was already red and swollen, and her crying appearance made her upset.

"Okay, go back first. You're giving me a headache."

After saying that, a maid and a servant came forward and asked Lou Yulan to leave.

Because she was pregnant, Lou Yulan did not dare to fight with them, so she was driven out of the yard and knelt down in the yard with a plop.

"Please, mother, please be kind! Please let Mr. Liancheng meet the prince!"

Although she was wailing, Lou Yulan was no fool. She gave the maid a look and the maid quietly retreated to look for Song Tingshan.

After all, the prince is in the mansion now, and he will definitely find a way.

Lou Yulan knelt in the courtyard under the scorching sun. Lady Chengguo looked unhappy: "Go, invite Princess Mingzhu and Mr. Liancheng in."

One cannot really let people think that she, as a stepmother, mistreats the son born to her first wife harshly.

Shen Shuyi waited outside the door for a long time before finally the door opened.

However, she did not see Lou Yulan, but saw Nanny Han beside the wife of Duke Chengguo.

This Nanny Han was an old acquaintance of hers. In her previous life, Xiao Tingshan had taken great pains to marry her, and after marriage, she was devoted to him and took care of everything for him. However, this good mother-in-law had made things difficult for her.

And this Nanny Han is the indispensable right-hand man of Lady Chengguo.

Now that the situation has changed, Shen Shuyi did not expect that he would change his position and stand on the side of Lady Chengguo.

Tsk, things in this world are really intriguing.

"Princess, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Please come in." Nanny Han was smiling and looked quite attentive.

Shen Shuyi, along with Liancheng and several maids, entered the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Soon, they arrived at the main hall where the wife of Duke Chengguo was.

But I didn't expect that when I walked to the door, I saw Lou Yulan kneeling in the yard with her cheeks swollen and her eyes red.

Apparently, Lou Yulan displeased the wife of Duke Chengguo because she had invited Mr. Liancheng without authorization.

"cousin……"

Noticing Lou Yulan's gaze, Shen Shuyi immediately asked, "Why is my cousin kneeling here?"

Lou Yulan clenched her fists and forced a smile: "I was ignorant and offended my mother."

Lou Yulan just felt that Shen Shuyi should ask the wife of Duke Chengguo about this question. How should she answer if he asked her?

Not to mention that she was just a concubine, even if she was really the prince's wife, she could not criticize her mother-in-law no matter what.

Shen Shuyi frowned and said, "Why did you offend the wife of Duke Cheng? How about I go in and talk to her for you and ask her to forgive you once."

Lou Yulan's eyes showed gratitude: "Thank you, cousin, thank you, cousin!"

After Shen Shuyi was invited into the main hall, the wife of Duke Cheng was all smiles and was particularly warm: "I didn't know that the princess came to visit today. We were not welcoming her. It is really our fault."

Shen Shuyi looked at the eager wife of Duke Chengguo in front of him and said with a smile: "Madam, that's not true. It was my impoliteness to come to your house and I was impolite. I hope you can forgive me."

"Your Highness, that's not right. You are so young, yet you have been favored by the Queen Mother. You are definitely not comparable to ordinary people. It is my honor that you can come to me..."

Lady Chengguo and Shen Shuyi exchanged pleasantries for a long while, deliberately stalling for time. Shen Shuyi was not in a hurry either. After all, the person kneeling outside was not hers.

Lady Chengguo: "I heard from Yulan that the princess came here today for..."

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "This matter is not urgent. It is rare to see Madam today. Shuyi just feels like we are old friends at first sight."
