Medical Princess

Chapter 963 It’s Better Not to Marry Her

“My second brother didn’t bump into you!” Infanta Yuan’an said anxiously.

“It will be worse if he did bump into me!” Shao Wanru said. She would not back down!

“You had a servant girl around, so it was impossible for him to bump into you!” Infanta Yuan’an said.

“Yujie is very strong. A normal servant girl wouldn’t have been able to stop him!” Shao Wanru said.

“You... are you determined to have my second brother punished?” Infanta Yuan’an was at a disadvantage. Looking at Shao Wanru, who remained calm, she panicked. She kowtowed to the Empress Dowager twice and said with tears rolling down her face, “Empress Dowager, please save my brother. He really didn’t do it on purpose!”

“He offended my princess and said he didn’t do it on purpose. If he did it on purpose, did he mean to humiliate me?” There was a cold voice from the door.

Chu Liuchen walked into the hall slowly. Although there was a smile on his face, he looked cold and dangerous. He narrowed his long eyes slightly and looked coldly at Infanta Yuan’an, which made her unconsciously shrink and involuntarily lower her head. “Is... is he really the sick Prince Chen?” Infanta Yuan’an wondered.

“Greetings, Imperial Grandmother and Empress!” Chu Liuchen came in and saluted first.

“You may forgo the formalities. Tell me what happened,” the Empress Dowager waved her hand and said.

Chu Liuchen strode to the chair, sat down and said, “Imperial Grandmother, what else could it be? It was about my princess being bullied. Second Young Master Qu is a playboy. In the past, he gossiped about unmarried ladies and wives with other playboys. But my wife is not someone that he can casually gossip about!”

He said those words casually, with a hint of indifference and coldness that lowered the temperature of the hall by a few degrees.

Of course, Empress Dowager knew that her grandson was really angry. She looked at Shao Wanru’s delicate little face and admitted that she was indeed extremely beautiful. The playboys would definitely gossip about her if they saw her. But the royal family’s dignity could not be damaged at all, and the daughter-in-law was also part of the royal family. No one could gossip about them casually.

Infanta Yuan’an really wanted to refute him, but the Empress winked at her, so she had to suppress her grievance and gnashed her teeth hard.

She understood the Empress was telling her to contain herself, but she really couldn’t!

“Imperial Grandmother, no matter what Second Young Master Qu had done, he had hurt me. If I didn’t teach him a lesson, it would give him the idea that he can do whatever he wants to me!” Chu Liuchen continued.

“Where is Second Young Master Qu?” the Empress Dowager sighed secretly and said, trying to patch up their quarrels. No matter how wrong Qu Xinghong had been, he was the legitimate grandson of Ruiping Great Elder Princess.

“He has been escorted to Great Elder Princess’s Mansion by the eunuch at the gate!” Chu Liuchen said lightly.

“Well, since it has come to this, Second Young Master Qu did not benefit from it at all, so he will not gossip casually in the future!” the Empress Dowager said.

Infanta Yuan’an moved her body a bit. She was unwilling to submit. Prince Chen and his wife were not injured at all, but her second brother’s arm was broken. And now they were talking about forgiving her second brother?

“That’s it?” someone said.

Infanta Yuan’an was shocked and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand. Then she realized that these words were not from her, but from Prince Chen. She was so angry that she trembled. “Things have come to this. Why is he unwilling to stop?” Infanta Yuan’an thought.

“Prince Chen, what do you have in mind? Ruiping Great Elder Princess is a royal princess with dignity,” the Empress said.

Chu Liuchen’s expression didn’t change. His eyes fell on Infanta Yuan’an and he said, “What Second Young Master Qu did may be an accident, but what she did was not an accident, was it?”

Being stared at by him, Infanta Yuan’an felt as if she had been targeted by a poisonous snake. She became nervous, knelt stiffly there, and did not dare to move.

“Your Highness, Second Brother and I have always been on good terms. She has already got into a fight with my wife before she marries Second Brother; after she marries into our family in the future, she may harm my relationship with my second brother!” Chu Liuchen raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully, “It’s better not to marry a wife that would alienate royal brothers from each other!”

Her words were so unkind. No matter what, Infanta Yuan’an was Prince Zhou’s fiancée, and they were betrothed by the Emperor. But he, as a brother, disliked his elder brother’s fiancée.

Infanta Yuan’an was so angry. She bit her lip tightly and suppressed the anger simmering in her chest. She would not let go of the sickly Chu Liuchen, nor would she let go of Shao Wanru, who leveraged Chu Liuchen’s power.

After the sick man died, she wondered whether Shao Wanru would still be so conceited.

“Prince Chen, they were betrothed by the Emperor!” the Empress said, with her face darkened. Chu Liuchen’s words not only humiliated Infanta Yuan’an but also humiliated her.

Her son did not marry a wife to please Chu Liuchen. Why did he have the say about whether her son’s wife was good or not? And why didn’t he divorce Shao Wanru for the sake of brotherly harmony?

“The Emperor’s decision could also be changed, and the royal family’s harmony is always the most important!” Chu Liuchen said lazily.

“The Emperor’s words carry weight!” The Empress’s face became more and more gloomy.

“Of course, Emperor’s words carry weight. However, before Infanta Yuan’an marries into the royal family, she has already made a mess in the family!” Chu Liuchen said seemingly reasonably.

Infanta Yuan’an, who was kneeling there, felt that the anger in her chest was boiling. How could Chu Liuchen be so arrogant? He blatantly said such words in front of the Empress, which meant he didn’t take the Empress seriously at all.

But with his attitude, she didn’t dare to move. She felt that Chu Liuchen was looking at her coldly. She was clear that if she refuted him at this time, she couldn’t bear the result.

She had to contain herself, even if she didn’t want to.

Shao Wanru was also listening to Chu Liuchen’s words. She lowered her head and looked calm, but there was a soft smile on her face. She felt really good. She didn’t need to say anything and just listened quietly there.

It indeed felt very good to be protected, especially when she was protected by someone so powerful. She believed that after this time, no matter who wanted to get her into trouble, they would have to think it over: if they provoked Chu Liuchen, could they bear the result?

She also felt so sweet that Chu Liuchen was willing to confront the Empress for her.

He was protecting her, unconditionally. Shao Wanru bit her lip and inexplicably felt like crying again. Since her rebirth, she only felt gentle when she was with Chu Liuchen. She would cry and make a fuss in front of him, like a real girl without any burdens.

“Well, Chen’er, let’s drop the matter!” the Empress Dowager finally said.

“Imperial Grandmother...” Chu Liuchen said reluctantly.

“Well, that’s it. Get up!” The Empress Dowager would not allow him to make trouble. She gave him a glare and ordered palace maids to help Shao Wanru and Infanta Yuan’an up and sit on her sides.

Shao Wanru happened to sit next to Chu Liuchen.

“Imperial Grandmother, that’s all. I will go back first. My princess is very aggrieved!” Chu Liuchen reached out to hold Shao Wanru’s hand and said openly.

Shao Wanru blushed and wanted to shake off his hand. How could they hold hands in front of so many people?

However, Chu Liuchen clenched her fist so tightly that she couldn’t shake off his hand. She was too embarrassed to shake it too hard, so she could only let him hold her hand and stand up.

“Okay, go back and have a rest first. Take care of yourself!” seeing that he finally stopped making a fuss, the Empress Dowager felt relieved and said to him with a smile.

“Imperial Grandmother, don’t worry. I will take care of myself. It’s not an easy thing for me to get married. I won’t make my wife a widow!” Chu Liuchen said smugly as if he was so happy to have a wife.

Shao Wanru’s face turned red. His words were so improper. In the past he was like a handsome young man from an ink painting, now it turned out to be his disguise.

“If you keep talking nonsense, you can stay here to copy Buddhist scriptures for me to quell the anger!” The Empress Dowager’s fury was resolved by Chu Liuchen and she reached out her hand to pat him. This was the last thing she liked to hear. If it had been someone else who said it, she would definitely punish that person harshly. But it was Chu Liuchen himself who said this, so she could do nothing about it!

“Okay, okay, okay, I’m leaving. Imperial Grandmother, I’ll come to see you tomorrow!” Chu Liuchen said. He did not take those words seriously and put on the gentle and elegant smile again.

If it hadn’t been for the previous incident, Infanta Yuan’an would have thought that he was really gentle and handsome.

“You can go now!” the Empress Dowager said.

Chu Liuchen took Shao Wanru’s hand and bowed to the Empress again. He was being very polite as if he had never humiliated the Empress before.

The Empress smiled stiffly and wanted to say something, but she found it hard to say it, so she remained silent. In the end, she could only force herself to smile and wave her hand as the Empress Dowager did. Watching them leave, her eyes went dark and cold!

“Sure enough, he has never seen a woman before. So when he marries a wife that’s only fair, he treasures her so much!

“However, it’s fine. In the future, when there is someone better, I will send her to Prince Chen’s Mansion and mess that place up. It would be better if it kills Chu Liuchen,” the Empress thought to herself.

“Mother, I’m afraid that Ruiping Great Elder Princess will come to the Palace later...” after taking a deep breath, the Empress suppressed the anger in her heart and reminded the Empress Dowager in a soft voice.

“I will leave this matter to you. I’m in poor health, so I won’t meet Great Elder Princess!” The Empress Dowager frowned and pushed this matter to the Empress.

“If Ruiping Great Elder Princess comes to the Palace, she must come to cry and complain.

“But what can I do? I can’t punish Chen’er! Second Young Master Qu was so incapable. How could he be so stupid to try to bump into Shao Wanru?” The Empress Dowager had experienced many crafty plots when she was young. She would not actually consider it an accident.

She looked at Infanta Yuan’an with a little displeasure in her eyes. She was afraid that this granddaughter-in-law would bring trouble into the family. Even before she married into the family, she had caused discord between Chen’er and Prince Zhou. Both of them were her grandsons. Although it was a little biased, Empress Dowager thought that Infanta Yuan’an was the worst.

As for Shao Wanru, Chu Liuchen treasured her so much that Empress Dowager couldn’t do anything to her.

Wasn’t Infanta Yuan’an the troublemaker?

“Empress, when the Great Elder Princess comes, tell her to keep an eye on her granddaughter. She is going to get married soon, so she should embroider more dowries!” The Empress Dowager looked cold.

These words were almost a reprimand. Infanta Yuan’an’s face turned red, and her tears rolled down her face, but she did not dare to argue for herself!
