“Alright, alright, alright. Father will do as you say. Meanwhile, you should listen to Father, go to your room, and have a good rest, okay? Chun Lai, please escort the Seventh Lady back and serve her well. She needs her rest.”

“Daddy, you must go and ask him. Believe me!” Chun Lai was already pushing the girl’s chair out of the room, but Jiang Ning still turned her head to look at her father. “It’s a serious matter. If they find out tomorrow, the Jiang family will be finished!”

Then Chun Lai bowed before closing the door to his study.

“This child,” Jiang Ruobai shook his head. “Does she really not want to marry Prince Yu?”

Although the palace was like a nest of predators, Prince Yu will soon be granted the title of ‘king’ and was about to move out of the main palace to live alone.

Wasn’t it good to be the mistress of the residence?

However, Jiang Ruobai cared about every word his legitimate daughter had uttered. So he called Jiang Yi to ask him about the whereabouts of this “Xin Ling Medical Hut” before telling a manservant to bring the doctor to the manor for an explanation.

The grandfather and grandson both came.

Jiang Ruobai asked the servants to leave, so he could ask them in private, “What happened when you took my younger daughter’s pulse?”

“Sir, your daughter is fine. She just suffered a little cold when she fell into the water,” the old doctor was quick to reply.

Jiang Ruobai looked at the young doctor beside him and asked, “What did you say to my daughter?”

The young doctor lowered his head and said in a low voice, “I’m not skilled enough and have misdiagnosed her. Lord, please forgive me.”

The old doctor snorted heavily, “This kid hasn’t finished his apprenticeship yet, and he dares to diagnose people casually. I’ve already severely punished him. Please forgive me.”

“This matter concerns my daughter’s reputation. How can it be resolved with a word of forgiveness?” Jiang Ruobai coldly said. “However, for my daughter’s sake, I’ll spare you for the time being. In the future, if you dare to speak nonsense and ruin my reputation, don’t blame me for being impolite. You, send them out!”

The grandfather-grandson duo was quickly escorted out of the manor.

…

It felt as though Jiang Ning had just hit her pillow for a few minutes before Chun Lai woke her up. The sun’s light was already peeking through the gaps of her closed window, telling her that morning had already come, but Jiang Ning didn’t feel well rested at all. “My lady, it’s time to get up and wash up. The carriage is waiting at the entrance.”

Jiang Ning sat up sleepily and said, “Go find Jiang Ruobai and tell him that I’m not going to the palace. Let him send someone else.”

Chun Lai found the child’s words to be amusing and proceeded to ignore the child’s words. She brought the other maidservants to help her wake the Young Lady up, wash her face, rinse her mouth, put on makeup, comb her hair, and change her clothes.

She was wearing a dragonfly-patterned robe and a tulip dress with a spring water green silk coat.

The clothes were fine, they were very ethereal, fresh, and elegant.

However, Jiang Ning couldn’t quite accept the makeup on her face.

Her eyebrows were like two black clouds of smoke, her lips were half red, and there were two round circles on each of her cheeks.

Her face looked like the butt of a baboon!

She was as ugly as a corpse!

Jiang Ning looked into the mirror, and her sleepiness immediately disappeared.

“It’s really beautiful,” Chun Lai even praised.

“There’s really no need to flatter each other in a business transaction,” Jiang Ning said.

While in other instances, Jiang Ning might be horrified by what they did to her face, but now… All she felt was relieved.

“Good job. You understand me too well.” She praised her maids’ work.

‘They knew I didn’t want to enter the palace, so they turned me into a corpse.’

“Young lady, you’re speaking nonsense again.” Chun Lai laughed. “All the concubines in the palace are dressed like this, so beautiful. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be dressing up like this,”

Jiang Ning was speechless.

She forgot that the fashion and makeup trend of this era was different to hers. What she might have thought as ugly today, might be considered pretty in a different time.

‘Forget about the praise, I take them back.’

After dressing up, she went out in a wheelchair to the entrance. When she arrived, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan had already gotten into the carriage.

As expected, their makeup was exactly the same as hers.

Chun Lai really did not lie to her.

Jiang Ruobai and Jiang Yi were both standing beside the carriage. They were a little reluctant to see her go.

“Daddy, have you asked the young doctor?” Jiang Ning asked.

“I did.”

“Then why do you still let me enter the palace?”

“He said that you were fine, only a minor cold, so why can’t you enter the palace?”

“What?” Jiang Ning was stunned.

“That kid said he made a misdiagnosis. My good daughter, you can rest assured,” Jiang Ruobai personally stuffed her into the carriage. “When you come back, I’ll hold a banquet for you to celebrate.”
