I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

322 Protection

“That’s Marquis Beining’s ministry’s domestic matter. It has nothing to do with General Wei Bei.” Lin Suisui picked up her teacup and turned to look at Yuan Niang, who was standing at the side. “Send the guest out.”

“Madam, even if you’re the general’s wife, you can’t hold my daughter-in-law captive like this, right?” When Madam Beining heard Lin Suisui’s order to leave, she panicked.

She stood up as she said to Lin Suisui anxiously, “No matter what, she’s still the daughter-in-law of Marquis Beining. If she’s unwilling to go back, she should at least come out and explain it to me personally!”

Madam Beining was really anxious now.

When she came, she had been warned by Marquis Beining. If she couldn’t bring Zhou Ningqian back this time, she would be sent to a rural farm!

She knew that because of what the couple had done recently, Marquis Beining’s tolerance had reached its limit. Originally, Marquis Beining wanted to remove Minghui from the position of the heir, but because of Minghui’s status and because he had never been caught red-handed from the beginning to the end, he didn’t have a chance to do so.

But now, the women in the family had been captured by the Imperial City’s government office. Not only had Minghui turned a blind eye to it for so long, but he had also asked the pregnant consort to stay outside…

If she couldn’t bring Zhou Ningqian back today, what would happen to her?

“Madam, I was entrusted by Marquis Beining to take good care of his wife. Therefore, without the approval of Marquis Beining, I definitely won’t put her in any danger.”

Lin Suisui had no intention of backing down at all and gestured for Madam Beining to leave. “Please leave.”

Madam Beining was naturally unwilling to leave at this moment, but Yuan Niang brought a few old women forward. Before she could say anything, she and her gifts were cleared out of the door.

“Madam Beining is really stupid.”

After Yuan Niang returned from outside, she said with disdain, “As a mother, she doesn’t think of ways to protect her child, but she even wants to sacrifice her child to protect herself. I really don’t know what she’s thinking.”

Lin Suisui looked up from the medical book in her hand and at Yuan Niang as she said, “The strong swing their saber at the stronger. The weak will only swing their saber at the weaker.” She didn’t find Madam Beining’s current actions strange.

“I heard that Madam Beining was born as a concubine’s daughter. Her eldest sister, who was supposed to marry over, had an affair with someone before marriage and there was a scandal. In order to calm things down, she married over instead.

Therefore, it’s naturally impossible for Marquis Beining to truly like her. In addition, with the previous scandal, he definitely held a grudge.

If she was smart, she would try her best to think of a way to get closer to Marquis Beining and eliminate these grudges. After all, Marquis Beining didn’t dote on his concubines and ignore his wife right at the beginning.

However, Madam Beining had grown up with the girl, so she naturally couldn’t deal with the sudden burden of marriage.

The only thing she could do was to submit.

Therefore, she was helpless in the face of the predicament. Other than trying to get Zhou Ningqian and Mr. Song to compromise, she doesn’t seem to have any other way.”

Previously, Lu Ze had told her about the aristocratic families in the north. When he mentioned Marquis Beining’s ministry, he felt that it was a pity.

After all, according to him, Marquis Beining had also gone to the battlefield to resist foreign enemies and had made outstanding contributions.

“That’s true. I’ve always felt that in this world, one has to rely on their abilities to survive! If you don’t have the ability, you’ll be like Madam Beining. Although she’s the official wife, she can’t even protect her children!”

After Yuan Niang thought about it for a moment, she couldn’t help but nod.

Lin Suisui chatted with Yuan Niang for a while before a little girl came in to pass the message that Zhou Ningqian wanted to see her.

This surprised Lin Suisui. She had just sent Zhou Ningqian’s mother-in-law away, but Zhou Ningqian came right after.

“I wanted to come over and bid farewell to you.” Zhou Ningqian didn’t beat around the bush. As soon as she came over, she revealed her purpose for this trip. “I know that my mother-in-law came over to disturb you again just now.

I should go back to attend the old lady’s birthday banquet.

Although Mr. Song had told me not to worry and just stay here, I feel that this isn’t appropriate.

I believe you know what’s going on in the residence.

None of them are easy to deal with. If I don’t go back this time, I’m afraid all the pressure and targeting will fall on Mr. Song. I can’t help him with anything else, but I can go back and prevent trouble for him.”

After saying that, she looked up at Lin Suisui and smiled. Seeing that Lin Suisui didn’t speak, she continued, “Madam, you advised me previously. After thinking about it for so many days, I finally have an answer.

You’re right. Perhaps our lives were like that previously because my mother-in-law was incompetent, my father-in-law was biased, and my sisters-in-law were cunning. However, I’m also at fault for being too passive.

Mr. Song has his difficulties. When I married him, my mother explained it to me, but I only thought about my grievances and never considered Mr. Song’s difficulties.

I blamed him for not protecting me, but when had I truly resisted?

If I can’t even stand up for myself, I’m not that different from my cowardly mother-in-law.”

Lin Suisui stared at Zhou Ningqian for a while before saying with a smile, “Since you’ve already made your decision, I can’t persuade you anymore.

“Your fetus has already stabilized. I’ll take your pulse again later and give you a prescription to stabilize the fetus. Don’t stop taking it. You’ll probably be quite tired for the next few days, but with the medicine, you’ll be fine.”

However, there are some things you have to know. It’s very difficult to guard against people with evil intentions. You have to be careful.”

“Thank you, Madam. I understand.” Zhou Ningqian raised her hand and placed it on her abdomen with a blissful smile. “This child is all I have now. I want to work harder to protect my husband and protect this child!

I definitely won’t let anyone hurt my child again! I’ve already thought of a way to deal with the situation. I borrowed a few capable female guards from my second brother. Even if they bully me, these female guards can help me resist those women!”
