After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day

"Princess..."

After drinking the medicine, Aunt Qu felt much better. Seeing Zhu Qing'an sitting in front of the bed, she struggled to get up, but was held down by Zhu Qing'an.

"My aunt is still ill, so there's no need to be so polite! I stayed just to have a few words with her."

When Aunt Qu heard this, she looked at Zhu Qing'an in confusion.

Aunt Qu has always known that she, her two children and her mother are like invisible people in the mansion of Marquis Wen'an. She has no complaints. After all, compared with many concubines, she is living a good life.

Aunt Qu respected and was grateful to the pampered princess in the mansion.

I still remember that when she gave birth, no one in the mansion cared. Just when she thought she was going to die, it was the young princess who asked someone to invite the imperial physician and even rewarded her with life-saving ginseng.

If it weren't for the princess' kindness, she would have died three times.

Therefore, she was grateful to the princess, and the princess was also grateful for her kindness. When she was young, she was punished by the lady to kneel in the rain, and it was said that she fell ill.

"You said..."

"My aunt has been in the mansion for many years. She gave birth to my father's second sister and third brother, and she also raised them very well. I believe you have heard a little about my father and mother's affairs. I hope my aunt can get close to my father..."

After hearing this, Aunt Qu was so shocked that she didn't know what expression to make.

"This?" Aunt Qu didn't dare to respond. Which daughter would allow another woman to approach her father? Besides, Aunt Qu knew how much the princess respected the lady.

"I won't hide it from you, aunt. Mother's heart is not with father, and she is confused. If this continues, it may bring disaster to the Wen'an Marquis Mansion. Father is good in every way, but he becomes confused when he meets mother. I hope you can divert father's attention from mother!" Zhu Qing'an explained.

In my previous life, my father was found to have committed corruption and bribery, and the evidence was indeed found in his study. The funny thing is, the evidence was also planted there by someone with ulterior motives through my mother.

Although my mother was also innocent, she did not show any guilt afterwards and was the only person in Wen'an Marquis's Mansion who stayed out of the matter.

Aunt Qu looked at Zhu Qing'an, but her mind was extremely clear.

She had been brought into the Wen'an Marquis's mansion for many years, so she naturally knew a thing or two about the affairs between the Madam and the Marquis. She had never wanted to compete for favor, but only wanted to live a stable life in the mansion. However, what the princess said today made Concubine Qu realize that she was too narrow-minded.

"What does the princess want me to do?" Aunt Qu took a deep breath and said.

She didn't want to compete for favors, nor did she want to offend the lady. Moreover, even if she did, the Marquis wouldn't even look at her. But to repay the princess, even if the Marquis disliked her, it didn't matter. After all, the Marquis didn't like her anyway. Even if something happened to her, the princess could still save her two children.

"My aunt's illness will be more serious this time..." Zhu Qing'an said, and stood up and left.

When Aunt Qu listened to Zhu Qing'an's words, she felt as if everything was messed up. She didn't even know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

As expected by Zhu Qing'an, when Wen Anhou learned that his wife was ill, he was still worried even though he tried his best to control himself. On the third day of Shui Shiyu's illness, he stepped into Jingyuan.

Before entering the house, he smelled a strong bitter smell of medicine. Wen Anhou felt a pang in his heart. But when he saw his wife sitting by the window with a sick look on her face, his heart softened instantly.

Shui Shiyu naturally heard the footsteps of Marquis Wen'an. Compared to the excitement of the servants in Jingyuan, Shui Shiyu had a cold face and was very impatient. She never cared about Zhu Heng's favor.

"Are you...feeling better?" Zhu Heng asked.

He was obviously very angry at Shui Shiyu's cruelty to his daughter, but after all, she was the woman he had loved for so many years. When he heard that she was sick, he couldn't help but worry. Loving her seemed to have become a habit.

Shui Shiyu didn't even turn his head, but just snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "The cat cries over the rat, it's just false compassion. You and your daughter are really hypocritical!"

Zhu Heng had heard this kind of attitude and these kind of barbed words countless times and had long been accustomed to them.

But no matter how much Zhu Heng loves Shui Shiyu, he is still a human being, a living person, and he will also get tired.

"I don't mind what you say, but Qing'an is a filial child. How could you misunderstand her? If she knew, she would be so sad!" Zhu Heng said helplessly, and then continued, "I won't disturb you while you recuperate. If you need anything, just tell the housekeeper. Your health is the most important thing!"

"What do you mean by recuperation? Isn't it just putting me under house arrest?" Shui Shiyu sneered.

Zhu Heng was furious that day, but now seeing his wife's haggard face, he finally relented and said, "Let's drop the house arrest. But Shi Yu, please don't hurt Qing An again!"

If she hurt her daughter again, Zhu Heng was really afraid that he would not be able to tolerate it.

Shui Shiyu remained silent. Zhu Heng knew that if he stayed any longer he would only bring trouble to himself, so he instructed his servants to serve him well before leaving Jingyuan.

As soon as Zhu Heng left, Aunt Banxia hurried into the house.

"Madam, I know you are feeling bitter, but you have been married to the Marquis for so many years. Why do you have to make things awkward just for a moment? Only the Marquis's favor can allow you to gain a foothold in this backyard!" Aunt Banxia advised.

"Is it him I want to marry? If possible, I would love to marry..." Before Shui Shiyu could finish her words, Aunt Banxia quickly covered Shui Shiyu's lips.

"My dear lady, please don't talk nonsense. If someone hears you..."

"What are you afraid of? At worst, I'll just quit being the marquis's wife. I don't care about it!" Shui Shiyu said disdainfully.

Aunt Banxia sighed softly, knowing that she could do nothing to persuade them.

When Zhu Heng walked out of Jingyuan, he saw several maids talking in groups of three or four in front of him. Zhu Heng had no intention of finding out what they were talking about, but he still listened a few times.

"It's so pitiful over there in Quyuan!"

"That's right. I heard that Aunt Qu has been ill for a long time!"

"That day, the Madam stopped Qu Yuan from calling in a doctor, which almost delayed the patient's illness. If the princess hadn't been kind enough to call in a doctor, I'm afraid he would have died!"

"Who made her unpopular?"

"What a pity for the Second Young Miss and the Third Young Master!"

Zhu Heng listened and realized that Qu Yuan was also ill with his master. It was his mother and Shui Shiyu's idea to take Concubine Qu into the family.

His mother wanted him to have many children, but Shui Shiyu did it on purpose.

After bringing the person into the mansion, Zhu Heng never paid any attention to her. Even the two children were an accident.

He didn't feel anything before, but now after listening to the maids' words, Zhu Heng realized that Qu Yuan was being treated so poorly, and he felt a little guilty.

I was about to go back to the study but I turned back and headed towards Qu Garden...

The maids who were originally in twos and threes now bowed slightly to Fu Guang behind the bushes. Fu Guang nodded and asked the maids to leave. Looking at the Marquis's back, he was afraid that from now on, Qu Garden would be different.
