Chapter 536: White Lotus Joins the Fray (6)_1
"If you were truly concerned, you wouldn’t have ignored her all day. Hmph, isn’t it just because you fancy that little wench Lin Yuan and forgot all about her?"
Although Su Qiuyu inwardly scorned Princess Anle’s words, she maintained her composure and, with a smile, she shook her head, "Thank you, Madam, for your concern. Qiu Yu is feeling much better now."
After saying this, she turned to Lin Yuan and smiled gently, "I also owe my thanks to Miss Lin for finding such a good physician for Qiu Yu. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have recovered so quickly."
Huh? Is the white lotus actually thanking her? There must be a catch.
Lin Yuan’s mental alarm bells rang, and she quickly stood up, took hold of Su Qiuyu’s slightly cold hand, and asked with concern, "Miss Su is too kind. It was but a small effort on my part. Oh my, Miss Su’s hand is still so cold, are you still not feeling well? You really must take good care of yourself, having traveled all the way from the capital city to Zhuma Town; it must have been both tiring and uncomfortable, how heart-wrenching."
At the corners of Su Qiuyu’s mouth twitched. Could this village girl not bring up her journey from the capital city to Zhuma Town? Wasn’t this deliberately poking at her sore spot in front of Princess Anle?
Sure enough, once Princess Anle heard this, her impression of Su Qiuyu soured. A young lady from the Prime Minister Mansion secretly travels alone from the capital city to Zhuma Town. It’s lucky she didn’t encounter any trouble on the road; otherwise, what would have become of her reputation?
But even if she hadn’t encountered any trouble, if word of Su Qiuyu’s solitary trip reached the ears of the ladies in the capital city, she would have been criticized. Moreover, her son was still in Zhuma Town. Wasn’t this blatantly making her son take the blame?
