The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 180 Give up the plan

Afterwards, Bai Zhaozhao heard the long speech of the wife of Marquis Cheng'en, the basic meaning of which was to express her satisfaction with Bai Zhaozhao and her admiration for Bai Lin.

She also boasted about her eldest son, saying how affectionate and loyal, gentle and polite, and had a bright future. She said that if he got married, he would definitely take charge of the household affairs as soon as he got married, and she, as the mother-in-law, would never interfere in the slightest.

Although the wife of Marquis Cheng'en was somewhat arrogant, she was not very cunning. She expressed herself very fully, and her desire to marry Bai Zhaozhao was clearly visible on her face.

Good boy, Bai Zhaozhao finally understood. It turned out that the Queen Mother was still unwilling to give up helping her natal family, so she arranged today's meeting just to show her sincerity to her. As long as she was willing to join the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, she would not only be able to manage the family, but there would also be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

In this way, the wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en talked until her mouth was dry and she drank her tea. Bai Zhaozhao was calm and only asked softly, "Madam, I heard that your eldest son has already married and had children."

The wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en paused, and said with a little embarrassment: "That is indeed the case, but the eldest daughter-in-law was unlucky and passed away last month."

"Oh? What's the disease?"

"Uh... Oh, it was an old illness. He was bedridden for years. The doctors were helpless and he passed away in the end... Oh, that's why they say that nothing is certain!"

"Madam is right. Things are unpredictable. I was almost deceived by the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion. But the next moment, their house was confiscated. Isn't that a coincidence?"

The wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en looked a little stiff. What did Princess Zhaohe mean by this? Did she mean that if we lied to her, our property would also be confiscated?

This is clearly a threat!

She was upset and said unhappily, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'If you don't accept a toast, you will be punished?' This marriage has always been about the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Even if I don't tell you today, I can still ask the queen to grant my eldest son a marriage tomorrow."

Just as Bai Zhaozhao was about to taunt her, she heard a voice behind her: "Madam Marquis is so arrogant. Is the Empress the kind of person who likes to grant marriages at random? I want to ask the Emperor, when will it be the turn of the Cheng'en Marquisate to make the decision for the Empress?"

"Your servant greets Concubine Xu!" Lady Cheng'en Hou's wife bowed in fear. She knew that she had to leave quickly today. Even if she was given ten times the courage, she would not dare to stay with Concubine Xu. As for Bai Zhaozhao, since she was brave, then let her stay!

So she hurriedly said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was just joking with the county lady. I will go to the Queen and apologize now!"

Concubine Xu said disdainfully: "Go!"

The wife of Marquis Cheng'en left in a hurry, taking with her the palace maid who was originally going to escort Bai Zhaozhao out of the palace.

Bai Zhaozhao didn't care and bowed perfunctorily to Concubine Xu. Surprisingly, Concubine Xu didn't mind at all and said kindly, "Princess Zhaohe looks really radiant today. I guess something good happened."

Bai Zhaozhao said calmly: "Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. It's getting late today..."

"What's the hurry, county lady?" Concubine Xu walked into the pavilion and sat down directly, saying, "I've been having a bit of a reaction in recent days, and I can't eat or sleep well. Why don't you chat with me, county lady?"

Bai Zhaozhao saw that although Concubine Xu was smiling, there was an ambiguous emotion in her eyes, which made her even more alert. Could it be that Concubine Xu was plotting against her again?

"Oh, by the way, the county lady is proficient in medicine, how about taking my pulse?"

Bai Zhaozhao seemed slightly surprised on the surface, but he started to complain in his heart: She is coming, she is coming with a conspiracy!

But this is exactly what Bai Zhaozhao is curious about. She really wants to take Concubine Xu's pulse to see whether her pregnancy is stable.

After a moment, Bai Zhaozhao remained silent, looking quite confused.

Concubine Xu's eyes flashed with a fierce look. Could it be that she had discovered it? But she still pretended to be calm and asked, "County Lady, how is my pulse?"

Bai Zhaozhao shook his head and said with a hint of guilt: "My queen, please forgive my lack of knowledge and my uncertainty. You should ask the imperial physician to take a good look!"

Concubine Xu's eyes became even more fierce. She knew that Bai Zhaozhao must have seen through it, which meant that her medical skills were really superb!

"It doesn't matter. The county lady can say whatever she wants. I may not believe it."

Bai Zhaozhao said seriously: "Since the queen said so, I will speak frankly. Your pulse is a little disordered. Sometimes it is healthy and strong, and sometimes it is weak. I suspect it is..."

Concubine Xu came closer to her and asked nervously, "What is it?"

Bai Zhaozhao said firmly: "It's twins!"

Concubine Xu:!!!

What? Twins?

Concubine Xu was completely stunned! She was so shocked that she was speechless!

How could Bai Zhaozhao give such an answer? The imperial physician clearly said...

This……

No, Bai Zhaozhao must be playing tricks on her! How could she be better than the imperial physician?

But...what if it's true? If she is really better than the imperial physician, then does that mean that Changxing's previous speculations about her are true, and the Chen Tianlin incident needs to be reconsidered!

Concubine Xu was confused and was about to continue asking Bai Zhaozhao questions when she heard Bai Zhaozhao speak a long paragraph of medical jargon with an arrogant look on his face, all of which she could not understand.

The general meaning is that Bai Zhaozhao concluded that the couple would be having twins based on the contents of these medical books and Concubine Xu's characteristics, but one of the children might be a little weaker.

Seeing what Bai Zhaozhao said so logically, Concubine Xu finally hesitated and gave up her original plan.

In the Queen's Palace.

"What! You left Princess Showa there?"

The wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en looked aggrieved: "This... there is nothing I can do!"

The Queen slammed the table and said, "That's enough! What do you mean you can't do anything? Aren't you using my name to get out of this? Princess Zhaohe was invited by me. She had a feud with Concubine Xu before. If something happens in front of Concubine Xu today, it will definitely implicate me!"

The wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en finally panicked: "What...what should I do? Your Majesty! I...I didn't mean it...I just..."

The queen was really mad at her sister-in-law. People say that marrying a good wife can bring prosperity to three generations. It's true. Look at her brother, he married a wife who was too demanding and incompetent, and each generation is worse than the previous one!

"Alright! Someone, go to the Imperial Garden... Forget it! I'll go there myself!"

As she spoke, the queen walked towards the imperial garden.

As soon as I walked near the pavilion, I heard Bai Zhaozhao's cheerful voice: "My queen, please be careful, otherwise I won't be able to hold you next time!"

The queen was puzzled. She walked closer and saw that Bai Zhaozhao had actually held Concubine Xu in his arms! And it was a princess hug!

There was a sedan chair next to them. Bai Zhaozhao carefully placed Concubine Xu in it. Concubine Xu sat in the sedan chair with a constipated look on her face. She couldn't even stand up. It turned out that what Bai Zhaozhao said was right: people with twins are prone to numbness in the feet.

"What's going on?" the queen asked.

Just as Concubine Xu was about to speak, Bai Zhaozhao spoke first: "Empress, this is what happened. Concubine Xu wanted to talk to me and asked me to check her pulse..."

"Princess Zhaohe!" Concubine Xu interrupted Bai Zhaozhao.

Bai Zhaozhao paused, looked understanding, and said nothing.

The queen was disdainful and asked, "What? Do you two have any little secrets?"

"Oh? What was the result of Princess Showa's pulse diagnosis?"

Bai Zhaozhao pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course the result is that the Imperial Concubine is in good health and the Dragon Son is safe! Oh, the Imperial Concubine's feet got numb by accident just now, so I asked the only two palace servants to get a sedan chair and carry the Imperial Concubine up! Otherwise, the steps of the pavilion are so high, what if the Imperial Concubine falls again?"

The queen understood and nodded as she looked at the flat steps: "The county lady did a good job, and I think it makes sense. The imperial concubine should not go to places with high steps in the future!"

Concubine Xu was quite satisfied with Bai Zhaozhao's answer, but she was still annoyed and said, "Your Majesty is right. I will take my leave first."
