Before Lin Suisui could recover from this news, the carriage carrying them had already returned to the courtyard.
Lu Ze accompanied Lin Suisui all the way to the fourth prince’s courtyard. Unexpectedly, Princess Ning Fu was waiting for them at the door. When she saw Lin Suisui, although Princess Ning Fu looked apologetic, Lin Suisui didn’t ignore the flash of schadenfreude in her eyes.
“It’s all my fault. When the fourth prince asked, I told him your name. The fourth prince felt that you were his savior, so he wanted to meet you.”
Moreover, what the fourth prince is worried about is reasonable. Madam Liu, your medical skills are really amazing. Not to mention in our northern region, even in the entire empire, there are probably very few people who can compare to you!
Therefore…”
“So you repaid kindness with ingratitude?” Before Princess Ning Fu could finish speaking, Lu Ze interrupted her impatiently. “Princess, I’ve warned you before not to think that other people are that stupid!
You’re already thinking of burning the bridge after crossing it?
“Princess, have you thought about what to do after you tear down this bridge?”
“I really didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, I did it for Madam Liu’s own good! It’s such an honor to be able to treat the fourth prince!
Moreover, the fourth prince said that he wanted to see Madam to express his gratitude to her.
This is a good thing. How did it become repaying kindness with ingratitude?”
Princess Ning Fu panicked under Lu Ze’s gaze, but she quickly reacted and smiled at Lin Suisui as she retorted, “Don’t misunderstand my good intentions!”
“I’ll remember your kindness.” Lin Suisui glanced at Princess Ning Fu, who looked aggrieved and was wiping her tears with a handkerchief. She smiled and looked at her calmly. “If there’s a chance, I’ll definitely repay you double!”
When Princess Ning Fu glanced at Lin Suisui and didn’t see any malice on her face, she was relieved. She had no intention of staying behind to say anything else to the two of them, so she gestured for them to come in.
Lin Suisui had already entered the warm pavilion where the fourth prince was resting.
From the moment Princess Ning Fu brought Lin Suisui in, the fourth prince’s gaze had never left Lin Suisui. Not to mention Lin Suisui, even Pei Qian, who was standing at the side, couldn’t help but worry about his bold cousin.
“Is this Madam Liu, who treated me?” The fourth prince seemed to have sensed that his gaze was too intense and finally reacted before Lu Ze could flare up. He retracted his gaze with a smile and turned to ask Pei Qian, who was standing beside him.
“Yes.” Pei Qian felt that if gazes were sharp blades, he and the fourth prince would have been shot by Lu Ze long ago.
“Didn’t you say that her husband had something to deal with? Why did he come with her?” After the fourth prince asked about Lin Suisui’s background, he looked at Lu Ze, who was standing behind her with an impassive expression.
Hearing this question, Pei Qian couldn’t help but roll his eyes. At this moment, Lin Suisui replied first, “Because Your Highness is already fine, my husband is waiting for me to return to Cloud Mountain City with him after I visit you.”
“My body is fine? Why don’t I think so?” As the fourth prince spoke, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed a few times. When he looked at Lin Suisui again, his gaze was already filled with teasing that made her very unhappy. “I still feel very uncomfortable.”
“Your Highness, I’m a doctor, so I know very well if you’re fine or not.” Lin Suisui smiled at the fourth prince as she exposed his lie. “You only need to recuperate for a few days to recover!
“Medicine is 30% poisonous. Even if it’s a tonic, you shouldn’t consume too much of it. Otherwise, not only will it not be beneficial to the body, but it will also cause more harm.”
“Madam Liu, do you mean that you’re unwilling to stay and take care of me?” The fourth prince raised his eyebrows, and his tone was filled with dissatisfaction and menace.
As a prince, he was used to bossing people around. This was the first time someone dared to refute his request.
“You don’t need me to take care of you.” Lin Suisui lowered her eyes calmly and replied straightforwardly, “Besides, I have an imperial order to deal with. I’m not your servant, so please be careful with your words.”
Lin Suisui’s straightforwardness immediately made the fourth prince’s expression darken. He was about to scold her when Pei Qian stepped forward and stopped him. As Pei Qian raised his hand to signal Lu Ze and Lin Suisui to leave first, he lowered his head and comforted the fourth prince, who was about to flare up. “Your Highness, please calm down first.
Although Madam Liu’s words were a little harsh, she’s already someone’s wife, so it’s really inappropriate for you to keep her by your side to take care of you!
If this gets out, it will damage your reputation!”
“That woman is really detestable!” The fourth prince punched the bed hatefully, but he gave up on his previous plan because of Pei Qian’s words. Although he was unwilling, he knew that Pei Qian was right.
However, it had been a long time since he had met a woman who was just his type. If…
“Is there anything else, Princess?”
Lin Suisui didn’t care about how Pei Qian dissuaded the fourth prince. She and Lu Ze rushed out of the courtyard without stopping. However, Princess Ning Fu chased after them relentlessly.
When Princess Ning Fu stopped them at the entrance of the courtyard, Lin Suisui’s expression turned a little ugly. As she stood on the shaft of the carriage, she turned to look at Princess Ning Fu.
“You, you just…”
Princess Ning Fu glared at Lin Suisui. When she thought of the conversation with the fourth prince she had just heard in the room, she felt anger surge from the bottom of her heart. On the way here, she had thought of countless words to insult Lin Suisui with, but when she was in front of Lin Suisui and met her calm gaze, she realized that she was unable to say a single word.
What did Mrs. Liu do wrong?
She had only entered the courtyard to treat the fourth prince. Moreover, she barely had contact with the fourth prince so what could she blame Lin Suisui for?
