Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 345: Humble Courtship, Her Origin

Liao Yunfei looked at the woman and felt nervous.

She actually looks somewhat similar to Xu Yan'er. Was this deliberately arranged by Ji Chuhe?

Is it to downplay the tragic death of Xu Yan'er and find a substitute to comfort the prince?

"Put it away first, and then prepare some hot water for me. I want to take a bath." Xiao Yan'an ordered casually.

"Yes." The woman responded respectfully.

"Prince, why does this girl look so unfamiliar? Is she a new person to you?" Liao Yunfei asked tentatively.

"Her name is Siyou, and she will serve me from now on."

Liao Yunfei pondered the meaning of this sentence.

In other words, this girl named Siyou was just an ordinary maid, not a concubine.

However, just because this woman looks somewhat similar to Xu Yan'er, the prince will take her into his backyard sooner or later!

She is almost taking down the prince, she must not let a substitute who suddenly appears stand in her way and block her way!

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Xiao Yan'an asked back.

"The prince and I haven't seen each other for many days. Can the prince come to my courtyard for dinner tonight?" Liao Yunfei said with some ulterior motive.

"I have other things to do tonight."

"Prince, are you avoiding me? Did I do something wrong?" Liao Yunfei asked cautiously with red eyes.

She just didn't believe that her humble appearance couldn't make the prince feel a little sympathy.

"There is one thing I don't want to hide from you. I can't forget Xu Yan'er. She is the only woman I have ever loved in my life. I can't fall in love with anyone else. I have always treated you as my sister. There is no way our relationship can develop into the kind you imagine. Since you have entered my backyard, I will take care of you like a brother. If you ever think it through, I will set you free at any time."

Xiao Yanan never bothered to lie.

But he is no longer the same person.

Ji Chuhe was assassinated.

Xu Yan'er died tragically in his arms.

After arriving in the imperial capital, everything that happened clearly told him that if he didn't change, he would be at the mercy of others.

Now, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are still eyeing Ji Chuhe covetously.

Liao Yunfei has already surrendered to ***. It is true that she wants to gain his favor, and it is also true that she wants to replace Ji Chuhe!

If Liao Yunfei dared to do anything to hurt Ji Chuhe, he would never show mercy.

Liao Yunfei's tears flowed silently.

"What about Concubine Dong? Does the prince have no feelings for Concubine Dong at all?" Her voice was very soft and thin, even more humble than before.

"The first time Dong Ling and I were together, we were drunk. The second time, it was purely a man's need." Xiao Yan'an answered directly.

Liao Yunfei was an inexperienced woman after all. Her face turned red when she heard these words. However, she still mustered up the courage to continue, "My Lord, I know you only like Concubine Xu. I also know that I can't be as lucky as Concubine Xu to win your love. You can treat me like Concubine Dong."

"I can't do it." Xiao Yan'an's answer was even more resolute.

"Weren't we doing fine some time ago? It's okay between us! The girl who just came in is called Siyou, she and the prince have only known each other for a few days, and she can do it, so why can't I?" Liao Yunfei couldn't stand this kind of grievance.

She is willing to be an object of venting, so the prince is unwilling to touch her?

Xiao Yan'an was too lazy to explain.

He and Liao Yunfei had nothing more to say to each other.

Liao Yunfei's tears flowed even more violently.

Xiao Yan'an remained silent. She had no choice but to turn around and leave heartbroken.

Xiao Yan'an looked at Liao Yunfei's back, and his expression suddenly became a little darker.

The woman named Siyou returned to the house again. Seeing Xiao Yanan like this, she was a little scared, but she still mustered up the courage to speak.

"Sir, the bath water is ready. May I help you take a bath?"

"Just prepare my clothes and put them on the shelf outside. You are just a maid, just do your job. Don't be afraid. The prince's mansion is not the place you think. The lady is kind to others, and you will know it over time. Apart from these, don't have any other ideas." After Xiao Yan'an finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Yes." Siyou responded, looking at the prince's back, a hint of gratitude flashed in her eyes.

Although she had signed a death contract and was sold to the prince's mansion, she was willing to do the dirtiest and most tiring work rather than sell her body.

Fortunately, the prince is a gentleman.

Madam is also good.

……

At this time, Ji Chuhe was in Dong Ling's yard, having meals with Dong Ling.

Dong Ling looked listless and listless.

"Dong Ling, tell me the truth, did you feel very uncomfortable this time?" Ji Chuhe asked with concern.

"The main problem is nausea and no appetite. If I can eat two full meals without vomiting, I will be full of energy immediately!" Dong Ling immediately cheered up.

"She looks a lot thinner." What Ji Chuhe feared most was that frequent pregnancies would consume Dong Ling's body.

"It's okay, ma'am. The court doctor said that this is normal. Every pregnancy is different. After all, one is a son and the other is a daughter, so it's normal to have a big difference."

Ji Chuhe couldn't bear to say anything.

Anyway, Dong Ling is always mysteriously confident about having children.

Who knows, maybe this time she was right again and it’s a daughter.

"Madam, I heard that you arranged someone for the prince. Is it to deal with Liao Yunfei? Alas, if I were not pregnant again, I would be able to share your worries! You will never have to worry about these things."

"You are already very capable."

"Thank you for the compliment, ma'am!" Dong Ling was very touched by this compliment.

"The woman you mentioned is called Lin Siyou. Originally, her family lived in the outer city. Her father knew a little about medicine. A few days ago, colds were rampant, and those who had no way to seek medical treatment thought of her father, so they spent some money to invite her father to the imperial capital." Ji Chuhe spoke slowly.

She knew Dong Ling would want to gossip, so she satisfied Dong Ling's mood and helped him relieve his boredom.

"His father had been collecting herbs for many years, and his family had some stored herbs. He used them and cured some people. As the news spread, more and more people came to him for treatment. His family's herbs soon ran out, so he had to go up the mountain to collect herbs himself. And when he was collecting herbs, an accident happened."

Hearing this, Dong Ling's eyes really lit up, just like a cat that had napped all day and became full of energy at night.

"Madam, a person who goes up the mountain to collect herbs all year round wouldn't be so careless, right?"

"Yes, there is something fishy about this matter, but unfortunately, there is no evidence."

"Then how did Madam know Lin Siyou?" Dong Ling asked curiously.
