Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years
Chapter 21 Weakness is sometimes a weapon
A quarter of an hour later, the door to the west yard was knocked again.
This time, Yan Xiao came in with a smile on his face, followed by a group of people.
Yan Xining stood up immediately: "Father, what are you doing? The prince is injured and needs to rest!"
"Father knows, father knows!" Yan Xiaozhen said to Chu Jinxun sincerely, his voice concerned: "My dear son-in-law, take a look at these things, can you use them?"
The servants stood in a row and lifted the cloth on the trays in their hands, revealing nutritious food inside.
There are three ginsengs alone.
He pointed at the ginseng. "Although we don't have any two-hundred-year-old ones in the mansion, these three are all over a hundred years old. And this is top-grade blood bird's nest, and this red moon bamboo has six sections..."
"What does Lord Yan mean?" Chu Jinxun was leaning against the head of the bed, looking weak, pale and powerless.
Yan Xiaozhen gently pressed his shoulder with his large hand, as if afraid of using too much force. Just before he pressed down, he paused for a moment before gently putting it down. He then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My dear son-in-law, I was too careless this time. Although it was an accidental injury, I feel bad about it. So, I prepared some supplements for you to take care of your health!"
"These things are very valuable, right? How can I accept them without any merit?"
"My dear son-in-law, you are being too formal, aren't you? What is our relationship? Father-in-law and son-in-law, a son-in-law is half a son-in-law. You are not in good health, so I will do my best. Please don't be polite to me. This is all my little gift!"
The corners of Yan Xining's mouth twitched. He was so sincere, warm and kind. If she didn't know who he was, she would have almost believed him!
After some excuses and insistence, Yan Xiaozhen waved his hand, packed all these things into boxes, and placed them beside the bed.
Chu Jinxun was deeply moved. He tightly grasped Yan Xiaozhen's hand and said, "Father-in-law, you are so kind and concerned about my health. I am deeply grateful. Xining, pack up and let's go back home!"
"Ah? Isn't the prince staying here today?"
"That's what I thought before, cough cough cough... But now that Marquis Yan is so caring, I know he's worried about you becoming a widow at such a young age. How could I let him down? So, at least you have to live a few more years, cough cough cough... to be worthy of his sincere love and care. It's unlucky to stay away from home after marriage. I'm afraid it will affect my health, cough cough cough... It's better to return home and rest well!"
Yan Xining immediately said, "I will listen to your Majesty!" She raised her voice, "Jingqing!"
"Prepare the carriage and return home!"
So, after another round of hustle and bustle, Chu Jinxun was finally helped onto the carriage back to Prince An's Mansion.
The box of replenishing medicinal materials was also placed on the carriage.
Yan Xiaozhen's eyelids twitched as he watched, and he felt a pain in his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs, but he still forced a smile and sent the person out.
He stood there for a long time with a blank face as he watched the carriage from Prince An's Mansion finally sway and move away. He was relieved, but the cost of letting go was too high!
Although Tian Jiaying didn't participate in the entire process, she was the mistress of the Marquis's residence and naturally knew what had happened. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel distressed: "That box of medicinal herbs is worth a thousand taels of silver, Lord Marquis, this is not a small amount. Why did you just give it to him?"
Yan Xiaozhen glanced at her, feeling a surge of resentment in his heart that wouldn't dissipate. He felt uncomfortable everywhere. He snorted, "If he really died in our house, not to mention one thousand taels of silver, even ten thousand taels wouldn't be enough to settle the matter. Don't you know how to do the math?"
Tian Jiaying gritted her teeth. This was the reality, but what they were taking was real money from their family.
What's more, a while ago, he counted nearly one-third of the entire marquis's assets.
She murmured softly, "Isn't it possible that he will die?"
"What do you know? If he doesn't come back today, the emperor will know tomorrow morning, believe it or not? If the emperor knows, won't he ask Quanzhong? Does Quanzhong dare to hide it?"
Tian Jiaying stopped talking.
So those medicinal herbs are just like throwing meat buns at a dog, gone without a trace?
Today in the Marquis' Mansion, it is truly... a day of spending money to ward off disaster.
In the carriage, Chu Jinxun sat leisurely, drinking ginseng tea, feeling very comfortable.
"Thank you!"
Chu Jinxun raised his slender eyebrows, glanced at her, and raised the corner of his lips slightly: "As for cooperation, if it's inconvenient for you to come forward, I will do it! If it's inconvenient for me to come forward, you will do it! This is the only way to maintain a long-term relationship. If I don't make any contribution and just let you deal with it in front of others, then what kind of person will I be?"
Yan Xining raised her eyes. This Prince An was quite interesting.
He was sickly and soft, as if anyone could step on him.
But who says weakness is not his weapon?
Besides, is he really weak? His mouth is quite poisonous. Yan Xueqi, the little white lotus, never got any good in front of him. Didn't Yan Xiaozhen bleed profusely because he was startled by his mouth?
Having such a partner is pretty good! After all, his body may not be good, but his identity is good!
She also drank a sip of tea. Today, she had been suppressing the sadness and resentment in her body all day.
She knew that it was the remnant of her original body's emotions.
The original body hated the Marquis' Mansion, especially Tian Jiaying, and the Nannies Yu and Yang who were by her side.
At that time, it was Nanny Yu who covered her mouth, preventing her from breathing, and Nanny Yang who hit her on the back of the head. Together, they killed her.
Previously, when Nanny Yu appeared in front of him, the obsession in his heart became even stronger.
Fortunately, Yan Xining is a person of strong will, so he was not affected by that obsession and did not act impulsively.
Given the current status of the Marquis' Mansion, it might not be a good thing for her, a newly-wed girl who had just returned home after three days, to immediately make things awkward.
After all, in this world, everyone values filial piety. To what extent do they value it?
Parents who accuse their children of disobedience will always be successful, and they will not be held responsible even if the accusation is false.
If children wanted to sue their parents, they would first be stripped naked and rolled on a nail board, their flesh and blood half stained. Even if the evidence was irrefutable and the facts were proven, they would still receive twenty lashes of the cane. If they lost the case, they would be sent directly to prison for a minimum of five years.
Without a suitable reason and a good opportunity, she, as a daughter, would end up killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of her own.
However, today's work was not in vain as I had caused a big trouble for Weiyuan Hou and Tian Jiaying.
After arriving at Prince An's Mansion, Yan Xining returned to the main courtyard and asked Caizhu, "Have you delivered the things I asked you to deliver before?"
Caizhu replied with a smile: "Princess, it has been sent."
She didn't quite understand why the princess specifically sent something to a maidservant beside the wife of Marquis Weiyuan, and why she had to send it secretly and without anyone knowing.
"Did anyone see it?"
"no!"
Yan Xining nodded. Caizhu was quite useful, but she was just a borrowed maid.
It seems that she also needs to cultivate a few people around her who are quick and perceptive.
Otherwise, it would be very tiring to rely on yourself for everything.
Chu Jinxun walked up to her and said, "I have asked Butler Wu to send your dowry to the warehouse of Qingwu Courtyard. You can put it into the warehouse whenever you want to count it."
"I'll go now!" Yan Xining suddenly became energetic.
There were sixty-eight loads, and one load was just for the real estate deeds and banknotes. How much could such a big box hold?
Thinking of this, her eyes lit up.
"and many more!"
Yan Xining turned around.
Chu Jinxun picked up the box of nourishing herbs from the chair and placed it on the table: "And these!"
"These are for your health! I don't want them!"
"We have it in our mansion's storehouse. We can't eat it all, absolutely! You can sell it or store it in your private storehouse. It's all your private property!"
Yan Xining was surprised: "Is the palace so rich?" Although these things were not much, they were far from being unable to be eaten. How rich must the palace be if it could not be eaten?
