After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

Xie Ningxin, who was standing nearby, listened to their conversation without understanding what they were talking about.

Seeing that she didn't understand, Chen Furong explained to her the incident that day when Prince Min made a scene at the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion for Wang Xiulan.

Xie Ningxin was shocked when she heard this.

"That's it."

"Sister Weiwei, don't blame me for being nosy, but Wang Xiulan doesn't look like a peaceful person at all."

My senior brother has returned, though he brought his concubine with him.

We can treat each one separately.

You should at least keep an eye on this Wang Xiulan, lest she turn out to be a traitorous ingrate…

Seeing Chen Furong nagging and giving her instructions, Wu Weiwei felt a warmth in her heart.

When looking for a best friend, you should choose someone honest and straightforward like this, so you won't be betrayed.

She decided to tell her about Wang Xiulan and Lin Fan later, letting her figure it out herself.

Wu Weiwei was pleased with her idea, but was it a bit unethical of her to do it this way?

Seeing her enjoying herself by herself, Chen Furong asked in confusion, "Sister Weiwei, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Junior sister, I couldn't help but take a second look at you because you look very dashing today."

Hearing Wu Weiwei praise her, Chen Furong blushed and said, "It's alright!"

She's been paying more attention to her clothes lately, just in case she bumps into Lin Fan someday and wants to impress him.

If Wu Weiwei knew what she was thinking, she would probably tell her that Lin Fan only had his childhood sweetheart Wang Xiulan in his heart.

He was immune to all other women, even her.

But Wu Weiwei didn't want to discourage her. After all, it was true that Chen Furong liked Lin Fan; the mistake was that Lin Fan was blind to her talent.

After chatting for a while, Xie Ningxin finally revealed the purpose of her visit to the Marquis's residence that day.

“Aunt Wu, the main reason I came to your residence today is because of the sores on my face.”

Don't laugh at me, but I've been waiting for your news at home these past few days.

I know you're probably busy with the shop opening and forgot, which is why you came uninvited..."

Xie Ningxin said shyly.

Hearing her words, Chen Furong understood what she meant.

It turns out that Xie Ningxin had been frequently visiting her at her residence recently in order to get closer to her and ask her friend for help.

Wu Weiwei looked at her feigned shyness and sneered inwardly.

"Miss Xie, look at my memory."

"This is really my fault, I completely forgot about you..."

After saying that, Wu Weiwei looked at Lingfu beside her and said, "Lingfu, go to the pharmacy and call Granny Mei over. Tell her to come and take a look at Miss Xie."

Hearing Wu Weiwei say that, Xie Ningxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not your fault, it's me who's troubled you, Aunt Wu."

After exchanging pleasantries, Granny Mei soon entered.

After paying her respects to the masters, Granny Mei took Xie Ningxin's hand and began to take her pulse.

"Miss Xie's illness is a sign of an imbalance of Yin and Yang."

"When yin and yang are harmonized, the heat of yang is drained and the fluids of yin are nourished..."

Everyone looked on in confusion, except for Xie Ningxin, who looked up at Granny Mei.

“The old woman is right.”

The imperial physician who diagnosed me before said the same thing and prescribed a bunch of herbs to clear heat and purge fire.

It contains not only Scutellaria baicalensis, but also Coptis chinensis, which is extremely bitter.

It was said to clear away heat evil, and later they prescribed Ophiopogon japonicus and Scrophularia ningpoensis, saying it could restore the balance of Yin and Yang...

Xie Ningxin looked at Wu Weiwei with a wry smile, "I took all the prescribed medications and continued to take them for half a year."

Of course, the acne on my face eventually cleared up, but unfortunately...

"What's a pity?"

Chen Furong was puzzled.

Wu Weiwei smiled at Chen Furong: "Junior sister, look at Miss Xie's face, can't you see what she's regretting?"

Xie Ningxin nodded to Wu Weiwei, "Aunt Wu guessed right. Although the imperial physician cured the sores on my face..."

Unfortunately, the sore recurred in less than three months.

Moreover, compared to before, it seems to have spiraled out of control…

If it weren't for her aunt, the Empress Dowager, sending imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to treat her with acupuncture every now and then, she would probably be so ashamed that she wouldn't even dare to leave the house.

Hearing her words, Chen Furong looked at her with sympathy.

Fortunately, she didn't have such worries.

Although outsiders always mocked her for being too masculine and lacking feminine gentleness and grace.

But she never wallows in self-pity, and she is never as insecure as Xie Ningxin.

Wu Weiwei looked at her, secretly marveling at her.

She believed Xie Ningxin's point about inferiority complex.

After all, in the novel, the prince only entered her room on their wedding night after marrying her, and never went in again after that.

So she essentially spent her entire life alone in an empty house.

Although she held the title of mistress, she watched her husband fawn over another woman every day, revolving around the female lead.

It's unclear what the point of this marriage she forced upon herself was.

That's right, Xie Ningxin was able to marry the Crown Prince entirely because she asked for it herself.

After just one meeting with the Crown Prince, Xie Ningxin was captivated by his handsome and refined appearance.

Afterwards, she sought a marriage arranged by her aunt, the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager bestowed the marriage upon him, and with Lu Hanting's methods and his status as the male lead, no one could force him if he didn't want to.

However, although he already had a female lead, everyone knew that she came from a humble background and her status was not enough to support the prestige of the Marquis's mansion.

He needed a matriarch of equal social standing and family background, so he gladly accepted the Empress Dowager's arranged marriage.

"Granny Mei, do you have a way to cure my illness?"

Although Xie Ningxin despised Wu Weiwei's identity, she had tried every method available.

However, these are all just temporary solutions, and the root cause of the problem remains difficult to eradicate.

She tried many folk remedies for this, but...

Xie Ningxin lowered her eyes, concealing a hint of ruthlessness in them.

Xie Ningxin looked at Chen Furong.

After only a few days apart, she noticed that her complexion had become even fairer.

If she hadn't met Chen Furong and witnessed the miraculous effects of this beauty cream firsthand, she might have thought it was just a rumor spread by outsiders.

But now that she has seen it, it proves that Granny Mei, who is by Wu Weiwei's side, is indeed quite capable.

Chen Furong's face gave her hope.

She looked expectantly at Granny Mei.

Granny Mei also looked at the girl with a face full of sores.

Wu Weiwei had once told her that Miss Xie from the Duke's Mansion was not a kind person, and that her illness was something that could be treated or not.

“Miss Xie, your illness can be cured, but not now.”

"My secret recipe still needs one more ingredient; I need it to prepare the ointment for you."

"Is it possible to cure it completely?"

"can."

Upon hearing that her illness could be cured, Xie Ningxin happily shed tears.

"That's wonderful! I knew your nanny was a remarkable person, Sister Wu..."

Upon hearing that her facial sores could be cured, Xie Ningxin, in her haste, actually started calling Wu Weiwei "elder sister."

Seeing her happy expression, Chen Furong couldn't help but feel happy for her as well.

After the two left, Wu Weiwei looked at Granny Mei.

"Granny Mei, can Xie Ningxin's illness really be cured completely?"

To everyone's surprise, Granny Mei gave Wu Weiwei a smile.

"Sure, it depends on whether the girl wants to have it done."

Wu Weiwei recalls the plot of the book.

The book says that Xie Ningxin secretly used the blood and sweat of countless young girls to make an acne-removing cream in order to cure her illness.

It wasn't that Wu Weiwei lacked compassion; she simply didn't want to please such a vicious person.

"Granny Mei, what exactly was that last ingredient you just told her about?"
