325 Companionship
Princess Ning Fu’s warm attitude gave Lin Suisui, who was unprepared, goosebumps. She moved back in discomfort and watched as Princess Ning Fu pushed away the woman who was originally sitting beside her. Then, Princess Ning Fu sat beside Lin Suisui.
“Not to mention me, even the fourth prince has asked about you more than once.” Princess Ning Fu continued to talk to Lin Suisui, as if she didn’t see the resistance in Lin Suisui’s eyes.
“I wonder how Mr. Pei’s injuries are now. I happened to see my sister today, so I want to ask. This way, when I go back later, I can tell the fourth prince so that he won’t be so worried.
“By the way, if you’re free, please go over and take the fourth prince’s pulse again. That way, I’ll feel more at ease.”
!!
“Is the fourth prince injured too?”
The woman who was pushed away by Princess Ning Fu wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Because she was close to Princess Ning Fu, when she heard this, she couldn’t help but ask in surprise.
The news that Mr. Pei had been attacked in Duke Huai Yang’s ministry spread like wildfire in Cloud Mountain City that day.
Originally, everyone thought that without Mr. Pei, the families in Cloud Mountain City would have a better life. Unexpectedly, after General Wei Bei took over all the matters in Cloud Mountain City, he was even more ruthless than Mr. Pei. In just a few days, he had already investigated a few families related to this matter.
For a moment, everyone was panicking.
Everyone had thought that Mr. Pei was the only one injured, but from what Princess Ning Fu said, could it be that the fourth prince, who was living in Duke Huai Yang’s ministry, was also injured?
“Although the fourth prince is not injured, since Mr. Pei is injured, how can he rest assured?” Princess Ning Fu sighed and complained in a low voice, “The fourth prince has been worried sick these past few days. We thought of many ways to assure him, but they were all useless!
I can’t appease him either. I worried sick.”
“From Mr. Peiss and the fourth prince’s current intimate relationship, could it be that something good is about to happen?” There were women who had a good relationship with Princess Ning Fu in the hall, so when they heard Princess Ning Fu say this, they started joking.
Princess Ning Fu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and kept laughing, but she wasn’t in a hurry to answer. This made the surrounding people even more excited and they kept flattering her. This gave Lin Suisui a chance to relax.
As long as she wasn’t called on again, even if Princess Ning Fu became the empress tomorrow, she didn’t think it was a big deal.
However, Princess Ning Fu was targeting Lin Suisui this time, so how could she let Lin Suisui off the hook? After comforting the women who were flattering her, she changed the topic back to Lin Suisui. “If there’s nothing else, we can go over and take a look for His Highness after the birthday banquet ends later.”
“No.” Lin Suisui lowered her eyes and said slowly after a while, “I’ve already said that the fourth prince’s condition is fine. The doctors you hired are enough to help him recuperate.
“Besides, I’m not his personal doctor. Please find another doctor.”
“His Highness is the fourth prince.” Princess Ning Fu didn’t expect Lin Suisui to reject her suggestion in public. For a moment, she felt a little embarrassed. As she stared at Lin Suisui, although her tone was still friendly, her words were threatening. “If anything happens to His Highness in Cloud Mountain City, will we be able to bear the consequences?
I know that you’re of noble status, but even if you have an imperial order, it can’t compare to the noble status of a prince!
“Sister, don’t worry. If you go over to treat the fourth prince, the general will understand and won’t blame you.”
“Then why don’t you tell my husband yourself?” Lin Suisui smiled. She wasn’t frightened by Princess Ning Fu’s words at all. She even wanted to laugh. “Princess, I’m just an ordinary woman. I really don’t deserve to be called your sister.
There’s no need to say anything else. Unless my husband agrees, it’s impossible for me to go to the fourth prince’s place.
If you really think that the fourth prince needs treatment, please find someone else. Don’t delay His Highness’ treatment.”
Princess Ning Fu had expected Lin Suisui to refuse, but she didn’t expect her to refuse so mercilessly and even mock her in front of so many people.
She was so angry that she wanted to flare up, but when she thought of the fourth prince’s warning to her previously, she had no choice but to endure it.
She came up with a scheme. When she looked at Lin Suisui again, she said with a malicious smile, “Madam, you keep saying that it’s inconvenient, but is treating Mr. Pei convenient?”
“When I went to treat Mr. Pei’s injuries, Qian He came over to invite me. My husband was accompanying me, so I went.”
Facing Princess Ning Fu’s accusation, Lin Suisui wasn’t anxious at all and explained with a smile, “That’s why I told you just now that if you really want me to go over and treat the fourth prince again, it’s best to look for my husband directly.
Coincidentally, my husband is here today. He’s at the men’s table in the outer courtyard. If you really want me to follow you to treat the fourth prince later, you can send someone to ask my husband for his opinion now.
If he’s willing to accompany me on this trip, I naturally have no objections.
However, if I have to travel with you in private, I can only refuse.”
“Alright, I’ll get someone to look for General Wei Bei.” Princess Ning Fu gritted her teeth and glared at Lin Suisui hatefully for while. She had no choice but to let this matter rest for the time being.
As Princess Ning Fu sat in her seat angrily, she ignored the others. Seeing that she was silent, Lin Suisui was happy to have a moment of quietude. She lowered her head and sipped her tea without any intention of speaking.
Just as she thought that this place would quiet down, a little girl suddenly rushed in from outside and walked over to Princess Ning Fu. She bowed to her first. After receiving Princess Ning Fu’s permission, she hurriedly stood up and reported to her with a smile, “Princess, the fourth prince’s carriage has arrived at the entrance. I’ve been instructed by the fourth prince to invite you over.”
