"That's good." Su Jinhua stopped talking and concentrated on copying the Buddhist scriptures.

Although chanting scriptures is relaxing, kneeling for an hour is a hassle. Ji Fang is an impatient person, and after kneeling for a while, he became impatient.

But Su Jinhua and Gao Jinyu were still copying, and no one knew when they would finish.

She couldn't get angry, so she could only continue to recite the scriptures with her body stiff. She kept muttering to herself, but she read the Buddhist scriptures so hastily that in the end she didn't even know what she was reciting.

A trace of contempt flashed across Gao Jinyu's eyes, but she didn't show it on her face. She turned around and praised Su Jinhua's handwriting.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Su Jinhua deliberately looked towards the door, showing a puzzled look, "Sister Shen is feeling unwell today?"

"Aunt Yucui took Jingshu to embroider something this morning. Sister may not know that Jingshu's family is a big producer of Suzhou embroidery. The embroidery is excellent. Sometimes when the mansion needs something embroidered, Jingshu will be asked to do it."

So that's how it is. Su Jinhua nodded slowly and thought about it.

Shen Jingshu's only reliance is probably the eldest princess, and Gao Jinyu seems to be trying to please her as the Crown Prince's Consort.

"Ouch!"

Ji Fang fell to the ground, screaming, interrupting Su Jinhua's thoughts.

"I accidentally fell last night and forgot about it. I'm in a lot of pain after kneeling down. I hope you won't blame me for my loss of composure."

"Sister, I felt unwell when I just came back. I don't know why I always felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, cough cough..." Ji Fang gently covered her chest with her hands, frowned slightly, looked very weak, her voice trembled a little, and she did not forget to cough lightly a few times.

He looked at Xinghua who was standing beside him, and Xinghua understood and walked forward.

He bowed respectfully to Su Jinhua.

"Princess, our aunt was indeed not feeling well last night. She couldn't eat or sleep well, and she was restless all night."

Ji Fang nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

She knew that Xinghua would always understand her intentions, but she still had to pretend to be angry and scolded: "Stop talking!"

Xinghua quickly knelt down and bowed her head to admit her fault, "I know I am wrong!"

Ji Fang pretended to scold him, then immediately lowered her eyebrows and explained: "Sister, don't blame Xinghua, she is also sympathetic to me."

Xinghua responded immediately, "Princess, if you want to punish me, then punish me. Aunt Ji couldn't sleep well last night and kept coughing. She seemed to be in great pain. I wanted to call a doctor, but Aunt Ji refused to agree, saying that she was afraid of disturbing the concubine."

Su Jinhua sneered. This master and servant were quite good at cooperating with each other. She didn't say anything, but she got the reputation of treating her aunt arbitrarily, beating and punishing her at every turn. If it got out, she would be known as a jealous person. She glanced at Banxia lightly.

Banxia was also smart, and she said immediately, "Last night, the Crown Prince's Concubine was worried about Aunt Ji's health, and she didn't rest until late at night. She was thinking that if Aunt Ji sent someone to come, she could deal with it immediately. I didn't expect Aunt Ji to be so considerate of the Crown Prince's Concubine that she would rather endure the discomfort than come to inform her."

"Sister, this kind thought is really rare. Tell them that Aunt Ji is not feeling well and cannot eat meat. Tell the kitchen to prepare lighter meals for each room today, so that the smell of meat will not affect Aunt Ji's recovery."

Su Jinhua spoke at the right time, ostensibly out of consideration for Ji Fang's health, but in reality he was criticizing her.

Ji Fang was so angry that her teeth itched in her heart, but she couldn't say anything. She had to thank her, "Thank you for your concern, sister."

After saying this, she coughed a few more times, "Cough, cough, cough, sister, please forgive me. I didn't mean to lose my composure. It's just that I've smelled the sandalwood scent too much and it's really uncomfortable."

I really didn't want to stay in the Buddhist temple for a moment. The whole room was filled with the scent of sandalwood, which was very irritating.

"The smell of sandalwood is indeed a bit strong, and for people who don't kneel and chant for a long time, they may feel a little uncomfortable."

She turned to look at Banxia and whispered, "Banxia, ​​go and help Aunt Jifang over. Copying scriptures can also relieve the discomfort in her throat."

Ji Fang's face looked ugly. She didn't want to copy the Buddhist scriptures, so why did she have to copy them?

Banxia had already walked over and bent down to help Ji Fang sit on the cushion next to Gao Jinyu.

"Sister, reciting the sutras is fine, but I'm afraid I'm not up to the task of copying the sutras."

Gao Jinyu glanced at her and sneered, with a look on his face that said, "You are pretending."

However, he turned his gaze to Su Jinhua, who was calm and composed beside him, and became more and more curious to see what her methods were.

Su Jinhua smiled slightly and continued her words: "Sister, you just came back from the other courtyard, and you are still unclear about many matters in the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion is not an ordinary place, and you need to be attentive to everything. If you are powerless, go back and rest well. When you are well, you can go out."

When Ji Fang heard this, her heart trembled. Did this mean she would be put under house arrest? She was about to speak but was interrupted by Banxia.

"Aunt Ji, the purpose of chanting sutras and worshipping Buddha is to pray to the ancestors, to protect the Marquis's residence, and to pray for the Marquis's eldest princess and the prince. If you are not attentive, it will be disrespectful. The prince's wife sympathizes with your physical discomfort, so I will take you back to the courtyard first."

Ji Fang was even more panicked. She couldn't bear the accusation of disrespect, so she quickly tried to make excuses: "Sister, you are considerate of me. I am very grateful, but how can I not participate in the prayer? I am just worried that I am not feeling well and I am afraid that I will cause trouble for everyone."

Su Jinhua looked at her calmly, with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes: "Sister, you don't look very good. You'd better stay in the courtyard. Chanting sutras and praying for others is fine, but if something goes wrong with your sister's health, I won't be able to explain to the prince."

Ji Fang turned pale and stopped pretending. "I feel much better now. I can copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for the Marquis's Mansion. It is my sister's honor."

Seeing her like this, Su Jinhua couldn't help but smile, thinking that she had some ability. "In that case, then copy it."

"Yes, yes, I'll copy it right away." At this moment, Ji Fang's mind was full of Su Jinhua's words that others could do it too, and she was afraid that her position as aunt would be lost.

There are three concubines in the Marquis's Mansion. She is the only one who has never served the Crown Prince, so if anyone wants to deal with her, they can find any excuse to do so. Perhaps she has stayed in the villa for too long without the restraint of her master, so she actually expressed the idea of ​​challenging the Crown Prince's wife.

Gao Jinyu quietly suppressed the disdain in her eyes and chuckled, "Sister, you are just being considerate of sister Ji. I am a little confused about this scripture, so I would like to ask you to take a look..."

Su Jinhua nodded and started discussing with Gao Jinyu.

Because there were still matters to be dealt with in the mansion, Su Jinhua took Banxia away halfway.

After she left, the hatred in Ji Fang's eyes suddenly surged out. She stopped copying the scriptures and sat there in a daze.

"Sister Ji, are you feeling unwell again? Why don't you take some time to recuperate before coming back? I can copy all the scriptures by myself." Gao Jinyu was obviously adding fuel to the fire and wanted to provoke Ji Fang, but the other party did not fall for it.

"Don't worry about me. I'm in good health now." Ji Fang replied coldly, feeling more depressed.

This bitch still wants to provoke her.

"Then congratulations, sister." Gao Jinyu chuckled and said nothing more. Seeing that the morning scriptures had been copied, she got up and left.

Ji Fang also wanted to leave, but she hadn't finished copying the scriptures yet. Xinghua beside her whispered, "Auntie, there's no one here right now, why don't I help you copy it."

"Come on, I'll keep an eye on it for you!" Ji Fang was eager for someone to do it for him, so he quickly moved away the futon and stood up to keep watch.

Xinghua finished copying the scriptures for Jifang in no time, and the two of them left the Buddhist temple and returned to the yard.

On the way, Xinghua did not forget to comfort Jifang, "Aunt, please don't be angry. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt by anger."

"Of course I know, but Su Jinhua is really bullying others by relying on her status as the Crown Prince's Consort. And Gao Jinyu is just a concubine. What's there to be proud of?"

"Aunt, you have to consider your own health. Being angry is not good for your body..." Xinghua comforted the irritable Ji Fang all the way before she calmed her down.
