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

Su Yingxue didn’t have time to deal with Chu Chengye. After the banquet ended, she found a pavilion and sat down, quietly contemplating the reason for the empress favored Su Yurou and her mother.

Zhilan attended to her, softly whispering, “Miss, someone is here.”

Somewhat weary, Su Yingxue opened her eyes and saw a woman in an elegant azure gown, holding a thin veil.

She adorned her head with a jade hairpin, a symbol of her status. Tassels accompanying her soft laughter produced a crisp sound.

“Did I disturb Sister’s rest?” Su Han smiled faintly, her pure beauty carrying a touch of grace.

Su Yingxue smiled and gestured to the seat in front of her. “Su Han, please have a seat.”

Su Han was her uncle’s daughter, well-educated since childhood. Born into the Marquis’s Manor and with her father serving in the Ministry of Works, she was destined for a good match.

But what was even more fortunate was her marriage to the prince’s mansion in Yong’an County. It had left all the women of the Su family envious.

At the time of her marriage, Su Yingxue was still quite young. But she remembered her cousin before her marriage, radiating a scholarly aura, holding books, resembling a painting’s fairy.

Now, that fairy-like countenance seemed somewhat fatigued by the world, and the scholarly aura had waned.

Su Han took the initiative to seek Su Yingxue out, speaking with enthusiasm. “It’s been a while, Sister. You’ve become shrewder and more dignified after taking charge of the Marquis’s Manor.”

Su Han was genuinely surprised to see Su Yingxue today. Locked within the prince’s mansion in Yong’an County, she couldn’t meet often, but she had heard numerous rumors about Su Yingxue, quite different from the sister in her memories.

Seeing her today was indeed extraordinary.

However, Su Yingxue sensed something different in her cousin’s words. She propped up her cheek. “Cousin, do you think I’ve been too forceful in asserting my authority today?”

“If Sister asks, I’ll be candid. In my view, yes,” Su Han replied, fanning herself, her eyes holding a deep meaning.

Seeing Su Yingxue waiting for her to continue, she added, “Although you disciplined Aunt Liu and her daughter today, it left a pitiful impression on them in front of everyone. Firstly, it’s not good for your reputation. Secondly, if Aunt Liu causes trouble in the future, the relationship between Second Uncle and you might be endangered.”

“Relationship?” Su Yingxue sneered. “I don’t care about that.”

“But you’re not married yet. Some things require consideration. However, since Aunt Liu covets the power you hold, Second Uncle will still have the final say in the Marquis’s Manor,” Su Han advised carefully, every word sincere.

Su Yingxue nodded. “I understand, Su Han. I won’t create conflicts in public in the future. But, if you’re here, is there something I can help you with?”

Su Yingxue’s relaxed demeanor eased Su Han’s tension.

“People don’t visit without reason.” Su Yingxue thought.

Although Su Han was her cousin, she wouldn’t come to talk if it wasn’t necessary.

Su Han’s scholarly aura was shrouded in a sense of helplessness. “Indeed, I’ve come to ask Sister for help today. I’d like Sister to diagnose me, check my pulse, and examine my body.”

Su Yingxue’s brow furrowed slightly. “Is Cousin unwell? Let me take your pulse.”

Su Yingxue reached out and felt Su Han’s pulse.

Su Han’s words were tinged with a deep bitterness. “Sister, you’re not married yet, so you don’t understand the agony of a woman without children. It’s been three years since I married, and I still haven’t borne a child. It’s distressing..”
