Xue Jinhua was waiting in the carriage, and it was not convenient for her to get out to check at this time.

After a while, Sakura came over and said, "Miss, it was our car that hit the carriage in front."

Xue Jinhua saw that it was getting late, so she said, "Yinghua, go get some money to compensate the carriage in front, and don't get entangled."

Yinghua gave the silver to the other party, and the other party did not insist. Xue Jinhua was thinking about other things at the time and did not take this matter to heart. She went directly to her aunt's house.

The man in the other car had deep eyes and no emotion could be seen. The servant stepped forward and said, "Sir, this is the silver sent by the other party. It's probably an apology."

The man, who was cold but also somewhat noble and elegant, frowned slightly. This was the first time in his life that he had received silver.

You know, if it were someone else, they would have been scared to death, but she wanted to get rid of herself with money.

"Who is the other party?"

"Looking at the markings on the carriage, it should belong to the Zhao Family Marquisate. It should be the female members of the family."

The man's face was still cold, his eyes moved slightly, "Oh, could it be that this is the young lady that the Xue family brought back halfway?"

The servant was surprised. The young master usually didn't care about worldly affairs, but today he said all these?

But no one could figure out what the master was thinking, so he quickly said, "What the master is talking about is that she is the real daughter of the Xue family who was living outside. I heard that she was brought back before she came of age and married to the current Zhao family Marquis's Mansion. However, I heard that she is not living well in this Marquis' Mansion. On the day of the wedding, the Marquis went to take up a post in another place and it seems that he just came back recently."

The man looked at the silver in his hand and said, "This person is a bit interesting, but he is still quite generous. He gave so much silver at once. It's just that he is unlucky."

"Master, that's right."

"Well, let's get going, it's getting late."

……

Xue Jinhua arrived at her eldest aunt's house and handed over the invitation. After a while, the servant brought her into the house.

The mistress of Prince Zhuang's mansion was her great aunt, Zhao Yufei.

Prince Zhuang was actually quite old. He had a son with the previous wife, but the previous wife suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away, leaving behind only a legitimate son and a huge palace. At this time, the Zhao Family Marquisate had also begun to decline and was no longer as glorious as before.

Faced with this situation, Wang made a surprising decision: to marry her eldest daughter Zhao Yufei to Prince Zhuang as his successor. You know, Prince Zhuang is much older than Zhao Yufei, and can be said to be old enough to be her father. Such a marriage arrangement makes people wonder, what exactly is this mother thinking? Is it just for the sake of profit? After all, Prince Zhuang is a powerful figure, and perhaps this marriage can bring certain benefits to the Zhao family. But in any case, it is indeed difficult to understand to let her own daughter marry a man with such a big age difference. Perhaps only Wang herself knows the reason.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

In the Zhao family, only the eldest aunt could talk to me, not for any other reason, but because this eldest aunt was more sensible.

Prince Zhuang had only one legitimate son, who was also Xue Qing'er's husband, but he died in battle a few years ago.

After Zhao Yufei got married, she only gave birth to a daughter, so the Prince Zhuang's Mansion is now in a state of no successor.

Now Prince Zhuang is bedridden, and only she, the eldest aunt, is taking care of him. The relatives in the palace have been vying to send their children to the palace, hoping to have their children adopted by the palace.

Some time ago, Zhao Yufei fell and had a miscarriage.

It is normal for a sister-in-law to come to the palace to visit her great aunt.

After arriving at the house, Zhao Yufei's personal maid walked up to Xue Jinhua and said, "My wife has been in a very bad condition recently. She has been lying in bed all day, worried. I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on if this continues."

Zhao Yufei lying on the bed was as pale as paper and skinny, looking as if he would fall down at the slightest breeze. He was like a withered flower, making people feel distressed and afraid that he might fall at any time.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." Zhao Yufei became extremely emotional from the moment he saw Xue Jinhua, and tears kept flowing, as if he had endless grievances and pains that he wanted to express.

"Don't move. You just had a miscarriage. You need to lie down and rest." Xue Jinhua hurried over, gently pressed her down on the bed, and gently comforted her, "Don't rush to talk. Your health is more important."

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you say before that you were just slightly injured? Why didn't you tell me about the miscarriage?" Xue Jinhua asked anxiously, her eyes full of concern.

Zhao Yufei closed his eyes in pain, "It was all my carelessness..."

"It's not that Madam was careless, it's obviously..."

"Shut up!"

Before the maid could finish her words, Zhao Yufei scolded her. "I fell down by myself. It has nothing to do with others. Do you understand?"

The maid felt very sorry for her mistress, but she kept her head down and said nothing. However, Xue Jinhua understood what was going on.

Prince Zhuang has a younger brother who has always lived in the mansion. Now Prince Zhuang is bedridden, and his only legitimate son died in battle a few years ago. If a boy is born at this time, wouldn’t that threaten his position?

"Whether it was your own fault or not, now that it has happened, your main task is to take good care of yourself and keep healthy." Xue Jinhua pretended to know nothing. "With the prince's current health, don't you want to have a legitimate son by your side?"

Zhao Yufei shook his head and said, "It's not that I haven't thought about this matter. I have also mentioned it to the prince several times, but the prince is thinking about his eldest brother and is really unwilling to adopt a child."

It is one thing for the prince to be concerned about the eldest brother, but I am afraid he is unwilling to accept someone else's child.

"By the way, why isn't the Crown Prince's Consort here?" Xue Jinhua said with a smile.

"Maybe the death of her eldest brother was a big blow to her. There are a lot of things going on in the mansion, so she should go back to her parents' home." Zhao Yufei is really different from other people in the Zhao family. She has a good personality and is very kind to people.

After the eldest brother passed away, I knew Xue Qing'er was very sad, so I didn't pay much attention to her.

That was how Xue Qing lived in her mother's house when she was a child, and she had plenty of time to hang out with Zhao Yuxuan, and she had the chance to give birth to Brother Fan. She even lived in a yard that she had built with her own money.

But if we calculate the time, Brother Fan should have been pregnant when his elder brother went to war.

Thinking of this, Xue Jinhua's heart could not help but ripple. She felt a little nauseous, but she still suppressed the discomfort in her heart and said to Zhao Yufei calmly: "Sister, let me say that every family has its own rules. You are the mistress of the house now, and you have to take care of the prince in the bed. You must not break the rules of the palace because of your temporary kindness, so as not to cause gossip."

"Besides, you are in poor health now, and someone has to take care of you in the mansion. It would be better to bring the Crown Prince's Consort back. This way, you can worry less."

Zhao Yufei was shocked when she heard this, and instantly understood the deep meaning of Xue Jinhua's words. Her face was slightly red, and she said with a little embarrassment: "Sister-in-law, you are right. I will send someone to bring the Crown Prince's Consort back now."

Xue Jinhua took a sip of tea, then turned around and motioned Yinghua to bring in the prepared supplements. She smiled and said, "Sister, I'm glad you can figure it out now. You can take these things. The most important thing right now is to take good care of yourself."

Zhao Yufei took the tonic, and a warm feeling surged in her heart, but at the same time she also remembered the unpleasant things she had experienced in the Marquis' Mansion. She looked at Xue Jinhua, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, and asked softly: "Sister-in-law, mother hasn't made things difficult for you recently, right?"
