Chapter 1178 The Sickly Child Who Was Schemed Against 2
As she spoke, Jiang Chunxi burst into tears: "To faint during the wedding ceremony, how absurd! I can't even imagine what kind of joke will spread in the capital tomorrow, making our Prince Cheng's Mansion lose face."
“Husband,” Jiang Chunxi gripped Song Zhende’s arm tightly with both hands, “Father and Mother must be very angry! What should we do! If Father and Mother dislike me as their daughter-in-law because of this, then I… what should I do!”
"Don't worry!" Song Zhende comforted her. "Your father and mother are too busy caring for you to care about you. How could they possibly dislike you? Just focus on getting better and don't think about anything else."
When Song Zhende said these words, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. It would be strange if he wasn't angry about such an unlucky thing happening on his wedding day.
But he couldn't let his anger show, and he also had to comfort the sickly Jiang Chunxi. You can imagine how frustrated he felt.
“My husband, I’m relieved to hear you say that,” Jiang Chunxi said, wiping away her tears. “However, I’m afraid you’ll have to sleep in the next room tonight. With my frail body, I really can’t fulfill our wedding night.”
“If you sleep next to me, what if I pass on my illness to you? Therefore, I can only ask my husband to sleep in the next room.”
"Waaah!" Jiang Chunxi burst into tears. "Why is my body so useless? You have no idea how guilty I feel about you right now."
Since the original owner's request was to take revenge on that despicable couple and she had no desire to have children, Jiang Chunxi naturally did not want to share a bed with that scoundrel Song Zhende, and was unwilling to have any physical intimacy with him.
"Alright, stop crying," Song Zhende said with a pained expression, wiping away Jiang Chunxi's tears. "Seeing you cry like this breaks my heart. It's just that I'm being asked to sleep in the next room. What's the big deal? Is it really worth getting so upset about?"
"Don't worry! I won't touch you until you get better. Your health is the most important thing to me. Marital relations are not important. As long as you can stay by my side for a long time, I will be happy even if I can never consummate our marriage."
Song Zhende was unwilling to touch Jiang Chunxi, who was sickly, so if he could avoid consummating his marriage with her, he would be more than happy with it.
Jiang Chunxi naturally put on a deeply moved expression, and was about to say something when she coughed again.
"Princess Consort, quickly drink some hot water." The one who spoke was the original owner's loyal maid, who was also the woman who had a secret affair with Song Zhende. Her name was Liu Meier, and she was the daughter of the original owner's wet nurse.
Song Zhende took the cup from Liu Meier's hand, and took the opportunity to run his fingertips across the back of her hand, making Liu Meier's fingertips tremble. She looked up and gave him a subtle, coquettish glare before quickly lowering her head.
Song Zhende smiled slightly, his eyes revealing that he was in a good mood, and then quickly fed the water in the cup to Jiang Chunxi's lips.
Jiang Chunxi drank the water and urged Song Zhende to rest in the next room, also instructing Liu Meier to go and serve him.
As Song Zhende and Liu Meier came out, Jiang Chunxi's face no longer showed any signs of illness.
"Miss, how could you let that little slut Mei'er serve the young master? Isn't that just letting that little slut get away with it, letting those two scoundrels do their dirty deeds right next to you and disgust you?" This was the voice of Caiyi, another of the original owner's head maids.
The original owner had four head maids, and apart from Liu Meier, the other three head maids were all extremely loyal to the original owner.
In the original owner's previous life, she gradually married off all three of her head maids, since the original owner could be considered a very good mistress in a strict sense.
Otherwise, if her three loyal maids had stayed by the original owner's side, they would have definitely noticed when the original owner was drugged, and the original owner would not have been so easily harmed by Song Zhende and Liu Meier, that despicable couple.
Oh! By the way, Jiang Chunxi transmigrated three days ago. She directly gave the original owner's three loyal maids loyalty charms, so these three maids all knew about Song Zhende and Liu Meier's affair.
“That’s still better than letting that bastard Song Zhende disgust me,” Jiang Chunxi sneered. “Besides, isn’t this more interesting?”
“Miss, you’re so narrow-minded,” came the voice of another head maid, Caitang. “You’re like a cat teasing two little mice, while those two mice are completely oblivious, probably having a great time playing in the next room right now.”
“It’s disgusting,” came the voice of another head maid, Caiyu. “That little slut Liu Mei’er is such an ingrate, a little whore. How good Miss is to her! To put it bluntly, her food, clothing and daily necessities are better than those of ordinary daughters of officials.”
"But that little slut is something else. She actually hooked up with Prince Song behind Miss's back. If Miss hadn't wanted to slowly torment those two scoundrels to death, she should have told Madam about Liu Meier's treasonous behavior and let Madam sell her to a lowly brothel."
Because Liu Meier was the daughter of the original owner's wet nurse, she retained her own name. The original owner did not bestow another name upon her, which was an unparalleled blessing for a servant.
As for Liu Meier's mother.
Jiang Chunxi drugged her, preventing her from accompanying her mistress to the Prince of Cheng's mansion for her marriage.
It should be noted that in the original owner's previous life, Liu Meier's mother had been in charge of the original owner's storeroom and everything in the original owner's courtyard since the original owner married into the City Prince's Mansion.
So, it's no wonder the original owner was killed in her previous life. Her food, drink, shelter, and transportation were all controlled by that mother and daughter, and she trusted them completely. The fact that she was allowed to live until Liu Meier gave birth to a son and a daughter was all thanks to the kindness of Liu Meier and her daughter towards her as their master.
"I'm tired," Jiang Chunxi said, her voice slightly weary. "Go prepare hot water and help me bathe and change!"
Meanwhile, in the next room...
"Mei'er, I've missed you so much." Song Zhende couldn't wait to push Liu Mei'er onto the bed.
"Are you crazy?" Liu Meier quickly grabbed Song Zhende's hand that was trying to pull off her belt. "Don't you know where we are? Get off me right now, or if we make a noise and someone hears us, we're doomed."
"Don't worry! I'll be careful not to make any noise that might attract attention," Song Zhende kissed Liu Meier on the lips. "We haven't seen each other for a whole month, I don't believe you don't miss me."
"Of course I miss you," Liu Meier said, wrapping her arms around Song Zhende's neck. "I miss you so much that my heart aches. If you don't believe me, rub my chest and see if my heart is trembling with longing for you."
