The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1048: Chapter 1046: Wanting to Continue Staying in the Marquis’s Manor

Lu Ying, with reluctance and unwillingness in her heart, could only grit her teeth and lower her head, “Yes, I was unreasonable. Thank you, emperor, for the reminder!”

Fearing that she might hurriedly ride off to find Su Hao, Su Qingzhi advised her, “If you don’t want to dine together, then rest in your own courtyard and go out less these days.”

“Indeed, as the young madam of the Marquis’s Manor, you shouldn’t be seen out and about every day, lest it cause disgrace!” Su Yingxue had a sudden inspiration. “Cousin, to take care of your sister-in-law, why don’t you assign some clever maids to serve her? That way, no one can say that in brother’s absence, we’ve mistreated the new bride.”

Su Han’s lips slightly curled, “Yes, empress.”

She immediately selected two maids and sent them to Lu Ying’s side.

Lu Ying looked at these two people sent by Su Yingxue and Su Han, and her heart harbored even more resentment.

She bit her lip, picked up her skirt, and turned around, “Xuan Ye, let’s go!”

Xuan Ye had to take the two maids back with her.

She told them to work in the courtyard, but these two clever young girls said delicately, “Sister Xuan Ye, we are sent to serve the young madam. Wherever the young madam goes, we must follow; we can’t leave her side for a single step, lest we neglect our duties toward the young madam.”

“Miss has me to serve her, that’s enough. Your interference is unnecessary!” Xuan Ye tried her best to drive them away.

Yet they stood motionless at the doorway, and when Xuan Ye, unable to come up with a solution, was on the verge of using force against these quick-witted girls…

Lu Ying stopped her and pulled her into the room, “This is the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor, not Bamboo Leaf Pass; you must not act recklessly.”

“But Miss, it’s obvious they are here to surveil you.”

Xuan Ye was a secret guard who usually surveilled others; this feeling of being overtly monitored made them extremely uncomfortable.

“Let them surveil! If they’re determined not to let me see my father and Su Hao, there’s nothing I can do.”

Lu Ying’s fist thudded heavily on the table, “Su Hao, you can actually be this heartless to me!”

The harshness of the wedding night, the subsequent coldness, and even before the departure for the campaign, not allowing her a single glance… How much more cruel could this man be?

What worried her even more was her father.

This campaign against the Qi State, due to their past collusion with Qi State, was fraught with hidden dangers.

If they could successfully annihilate Qi State, then all would be well. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

But if Su Hao found out that his previous charge into the enemy lines and subsequent injury were because she and her father had colluded with Qi State deliberately, it would spell disaster.

Without Lu Ying, Su Yingxue had a pleasant and sumptuous meal at home.

With grandfather’s affection above her and cousin’s pampering below her, not to mention Chu Yihan, who treasured her like a precious jewel, she almost felt she was being spoiled to the heavens.

Su Yingxue felt so blissfully happy that she almost wanted to take flight, so when Chu Yihan was about to set off back to the palace, she found it hard to let him go.

She walked aside with Chu Yihan, hugged him and nuzzled her face against his chest, cooing softly, “Emperor, before the empress enthronement ceremony, can I continue to stay at home, please?”

“You cannot!”

Chu Yihan rejected without a second thought.

If she stayed at the Marquis’s Manor, what would he do when he missed her and the child?

He might not be able to visit the Marquis’s Manor every day; should she, heavily pregnant, have to travel to and from the palace?

“Don’t refuse so quickly! The preparations for the empress enthronement ceremony are already underway, and it’s next month, isn’t it? I’ll only be home for just over twenty days. The baby won’t grow much in twenty days—it’s not that long, Emperor~~~”

Su Yingxue clung to him, swaying back and forth, just wanting to linger at home.
