Chun Rui explained: "After Miss Chen fainted, it was indeed Mr. Xie who carried her to the Danxia Courtyard. But the servant thought that Mr. Xie just did it casually and had no second thoughts."
Mrs. Qiu curled her lips, "If he doesn't have second thoughts, where do the rumors outside come from?"
Chun Rui has long been dissatisfied with her selfish face as a mother. After hearing her words, he immediately said sarcastically: "I don't know where the rumors outside come from. I only know that Miss Chen Er, in order to prove her innocence, spent all her energy on treating the grandson of the prince who fainted. It was Mr. Xie who ordered Dr. Feng to Dr. He examined Miss Chen Er’s injuries.”
After a pause, he continued: "Mr. Xie also paid for the medical expenses paid by Imperial Physician Feng and Imperial Physician He to treat Miss Chen Er's injuries."
Ms. Qiu defended: "It was his business to investigate the case. An Ning settled it for him. What's wrong with him paying for the medical expenses? Besides, if it weren't for An Ning, he doesn't know when the case would be closed."
Chun Rui sneered, "If it weren't for Miss Chen, why would Miss Chen be injured? Why would she have to devote all her energy to saving the grandson? Why would Mr. Xie get involved in this matter?"
Qiu was instantly speechless.
Chun Rui did not let her go, and in a few words she told her that she was unwilling to pay for the medical expenses.
Mrs. Qiu quickly looked at Chen Anning and saw that she showed no signs of anger. She felt relieved and defended herself: "I didn't refuse the money. I didn't bring much money that day, and I didn't know." The wound on your head is so serious."
Chun Rui snorted coldly: "Has Mrs. Chen ever asked whether the injury on Miss Chen's head is serious? Miss Chen has been recuperating in the eldest princess's mansion for many days. Has Mrs. Chen ever gone to visit?"
Mrs. Qiu knew she was in the wrong, so she pretended not to hear her sarcasm and quickly changed the subject: "It's getting late. Go quickly. Don't keep the eldest princess waiting."
As soon as he finished speaking, he hurried away without waiting for Chen Anning to respond.
Chun Rui looked at her back, snorted disdainfully, and couldn't help but persuade: "Since they are unkind to Miss Chen Er, why should Miss Chen Er tolerate them everywhere!"
Chen Anning stood up and said, "Who said I tolerate them?"
It's just taking up someone else's body and you have to do something for them.
And what’s the point of doing something, just once?
The original owner has suffered for more than a year. How can we not let them feel the same?
Besides, she was new here and needed a place to stay.
Qiu did not leave, but waited for her beside the carriage.
Seeing her getting on the carriage, Mrs. Qiu immediately moved to the window of the carriage and warned her in a good voice: "The eldest princess is so attentive to you, you should also be more attentive when treating your head ailments. Don't deliberately leave anything behind like you did to the grandson. It’s time to back up.”
Chen Anning laughed and said, "Does mother know medical skills?"
Qiu thought she was mocking her for not recognizing them when she was rescued by Liu Xiuzhu and Yin Xiruo, so she replied angrily: "How could I?"
Chen Anning ridiculed: "Since I don't know how, how did my mother know that I had a backup plan?"
Mrs. Qiu glanced at Chun Rui and Chuntao, and said with a forced smile: "Didn't you say two days ago that if you marry to the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion, you can cure your grandson?"
"If you can cure your grandson, you have been talking about it from the beginning to the end. I just followed your words and continued." Chen Anning glanced at her and reminded her softly, "Mom, don't waste your time testing me. , I said, I will not marry to Kaiyang Hou Mansion."
"Please mother, please also tell my grandmother and father that it is best to give up the idea of marrying me to the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion. As for the betrothal gift sent by the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion..."
In Qiu's eyes that flickered with anticipation, Chen Anning slightly raised her lips, "Then it's up to you to find a way to retreat."
Qiu's face suddenly turned pale, "Where are we going to find a solution..."
"Whether there is a way or not, that's all your business." Chen Anning interrupted her, "On the day I returned to the Chen family from the eldest princess's mansion, I said that I would not marry to the Kaiyang Marquis' mansion. Since you don't understand If you like to make your own decisions, then you must bear the consequences."
After finishing speaking, Chen Anning glanced at Chun Rui.
Chun Rui immediately clasped her hands and knocked on the car wall.
The coachman also held a grudge against Mrs. Qiu, so he grabbed the reins and left without reminding her to get out of the way.
Qiu was so shocked that she stepped back again and again.
"Have you heard? The second young lady of the Chen family is already pregnant with Mr. Xie's child?"
"I also heard that it's been three months."
"The Chen family is really good at calculating. If they can't give birth to a son, they let their two daughters use such despicable methods to climb high."
"It seems that Miss Chen Er has some tricks up her sleeve. Mr. Xie picked her up and sent her off in the past few days, and he seemed very attentive to her."
"That's just looking at Shangxin. If he is really interested, given his status as the third son of the Guangling Prince's Palace, how dare the Kaiyang Marquis Palace let her marry in place of Miss Chen?"
Along the carriage's journey from Kaimingfang, where the Chen family is located, to Xinghuafang, where the eldest princess's mansion is located, unbearable rumors flooded into Chen Anning like a tide.
Chun Rui and Chuntao tried to stop them several times, but she stopped them every time.
Chun Rui snorted: "Why should Miss Chen be afraid of them? These people are typical bullies and shy of the strong. When the slaves scold them a few words, they will naturally shut up."
Chen Anning said quietly: "I believe that after you scold them, they will shut up. But can you control the bright side and the dark side? Can you control their mouths and their hearts?"
Chuntao said: "Then you can't just ignore everything."
"What's there to care about?" Chen Anning said nonchalantly, "If your reputation is strong, people will naturally come forward to protect it for you. If you're not strong, how much is it worth?"
After Chun Rui and Chuntao looked at each other calmly, Chun Rui turned her anger into a smile and said, "Miss Chen Er is right. She cares a lot about reputation, but is restrained."
Chen Anning nodded, "That's the truth!"
The carriage entered the eldest princess's mansion and stopped in front of the second gate.
Nanny Li, who had been waiting here for a long time, greeted her warmly. When she got off the carriage, she looked her up and down twice, and after saying a few greetings, she took her straight to the eldest princess's Qifengyuan.
After giving the eldest princess the acupuncture step by step, and performing the same old tricks as she was exhausted, Chen Anning drank a bowl of ginseng tea brought by the maid and stood up to leave.
"It will be noon soon. Let's go after dinner and take a rest." The eldest princess asked to stay.
Have you finally revealed your purpose? Chen Anning calmly bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Princess."
Sit down again.
After chatting and drinking two cups of tea, the eldest princess glanced at Nanny Li.
Grandma Li said: "Everyone, please go down."
After all the maids who were waiting in the room left, leaving only the confidants and maids, the eldest princess put down her tea cup and asked like a gossiping parent: "What's going on with your marriage to the grandson?" ?”
Chen Anning suppressed the emotion in her eyes, "It's the same as the purpose of my sister's engagement with the grandson, to sell her daughter for glory."
The eldest princess didn't expect her to be so straightforward. She couldn't help but smile and asked her: "How do you plan to handle this marriage?"
