Chapter 665.1: Dead

Despite the hatred in Madame Wens heart, she still remembered her responsibilities. Enough, she is still your elder sister in name. Patriarch is not at home now, so keep yourselves in check.

Yes, Madame. The Third Concubine replied begrudgingly.

Dont stand here. Quickly help the Second Concubine back to her room to rest, and get a doctor to take a look at her. This Madame has a headache; Third Concubine, help me walk back. Madame Wen couldnt be bothered to spare the Second Concubine another glance.

In any case, everyone in the Prime Minister Residence already knows that our relations.h.i.+p is not harmonious.

The Third Concubine initially wanted to enjoy the chaos a little longer, but she could only leave with Madame Wen. With the latter gone, the crowd also began to disperse.

Only the Second Concubines personal maidservant exerted all her strength to help her master back to her room. When Wen Wanzhi was informed and looked at her mother who seemed to be devoid of life, she burst into tears.

Young Miss, dont cry. The doctor will be here soon.

Smack!

Wen Wanzhi gave the maidservant a resounding slap. Soon? Why is it taking so long? Are you waiting for my mum to die first?

Right after the words left her mouth, the doctor arrived and felt for Concubine Wens pulse. Coldness has infiltrated the Concubines body, causing her to lose consciousness. As for when she will wake up, that will have to depend on the will of the heavens.

His words fuelled Wen Wanzhis anger. Will of the heavens? Youre nothing but a quack. Im going to get an imperial physician to treat my mum.

Young Miss, with the cold having infiltrated Madames body, shell likely recover in two days. The doctor spoke respectfully, but his heart was filled with nothing but disdain.

Shes just the child of a concubine. Does she really think that the blood of a n.o.ble young miss flows in her veins?

Wen Wanzhis stormy emotions abated upon hearing his rea.s.surance, and she turned to the maidservant. Follow the doctor and bring the medicine back.

After the doctor and the maidservant left, Wen Wanzhi stopped her tears. What a good-for-nothing! Your task was so simple, yet you still managed to mess things up by falling into the pond. Ill have to rely on myself if I want to reverse my current situation.

Disregarding her unconscious mother, Wen Wanzhi walked out.

Im only a p.a.w.n in mums eyes; our so-called mother and daughter relations.h.i.+p is nothing but a facade.

Returning to her room, Wen Wanzhi began writing a letter when the opening of a door interrupted her.

Wen Wanzhis mouth was already open, but she quickly closed it and put on a deferential expression when she saw who it was. After all, Madame Wen was still the main wife of the Prime Minister, someone with an esteemed status.

Mother[1], what brings you here?

Wanzhi, Ive heard about your matter. Although you have lost your virginity and cant marry into an officials family, you are still more than qualified to be the Second Main Wife of a merchants family. With the Wen Familys status, you wouldnt suffer any grievances. Take a look; here are some of the reputable merchant families in Liujing. Madame Wen pa.s.sed a name list to her with a gentle gaze.

Rage flared up in Wen Wanzis heart when she heard those words.

I may be a

shu

daughter of the Prime Minister Residence, but Im the only daughter. Why do I have to marry a merchant who only stinks of money?

Mother, I dont want to marry. She blurted out her wish bluntly.

A gentle smile formed at Madame Wens mouth. Wanzhi, Mother knows that you are unwilling, but it is a huge crime to have an affair with a guard. If you dont quickly find someone to marry, Im afraid that even your dad wont be able to protect you.

Mother, are you threatening me? Does Dad know about this? Wen Wanzhis eyes glimmered with coldness.
