The Miraculous Doctor and Poisonous Princess

Chapter 11: Thanks to Father's Painstaking Scheming

Madam Ye, the second wife, realized something and quickly stepped forward to take over the conversation, "Put that thing away quickly. What if you prick yourself? A Ran, you are the legitimate daughter of our Wen Guo Gong Mansion. You can't be so careless about yourself, you know?" While saying this, she winked at the servants behind her, "Hurry up and take these needles away and throw them far away."

Bai Heran pretended to take a half step back, "It's a pity to throw them away. They can still be used. I think there seem to be some words on the needles, like Bai..."

"Second Miss, give the needles to this servant quickly. What if you prick your hand? Give them to this servant quickly!" Two senior maids rushed forward and almost snatched the thirteen sewing needles from Bai Heran's hand, then turned and ran. It seemed as if they were afraid that those things would hurt the Second Miss, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was clearly the second wife who wanted to hide something.

Bai Heran didn't expose it and had no intention of making a big deal out of those sewing needles. She just smiled and said, "Okay, if you say to throw them away, then throw them away."

At this time, the old lady recovered from her surprise, but she was too excited to speak and just looked at her granddaughter who had come back from the dead and wept silently.

A servant nearby, observing the situation, quickly said, "Welcome Second Miss home."

Bai Huayan finally realized that this wasn't seeing a ghost but that her Second Sister hadn't died at all. So she breathed a sigh of relief and put on a sarcastic face again - "What's there to welcome? Her man died before she even got married. She's really a jinx."

She was young and couldn't guess what Bai Heran's words and those needles just meant, but she saw Bai Jinghong's discomfort, so she did her best to ridicule Bai Heran to show her closeness to the eldest miss.

"She'll have to live as a widow in the future. Occupying the position of a legitimate daughter but unable to bring glory to the family. It's really a waste of raising her."

"Huayan, you can't talk like that. Second Sister... is also a person with a hard life." Bai Jinghong reprimanded Bai Huayan softly, but her eyes looked at Bai Heran with inquiry, and the more she looked, the more uneasy she felt.

"Elder Sister is right, but there's one more thing Huayan can't understand." She looked at Bai Heran again, being aggressive.

"As the saying goes, a married daughter is like spilled water. Since Second Sister already has a husband's family, she definitely shouldn't live in the Wen Guo Gong Mansion anymore."

Bai Jinghong showed a bit of difficulty on her face, "But if she doesn't live at home, where can Second Sister go?" The furrowed brows made people feel pity.

Bai Heran didn't mind Bai Huayan's words. She just curled the corners of her lips and continued along with the other's words, "Yes, I definitely can't live in this Wen Guo Gong Mansion anymore. You don't need to worry about me either. Since I've been betrothed to a husband's family, whether he's alive or dead, I should follow him."

She unfolded the imperial edict she was holding, "His Highness the Tenth Prince, the Zun Wang. Since I'm the Zun Wang Consort, I naturally should live in the Zun Wang Mansion in the future."

She turned around and gave Bai Xingyan a stiff and awkward salute, "I heard on the way that it was Father who proposed this marriage to the emperor. Father's intentions, A Ran understands. Thank you, Father, for your planning for A Ran."

Bai Xingyan was stunned, "When did this Duke ever plan anything for you?"

"Although Father didn't say it explicitly, how could A Ran pretend to be ignorant when I know? His Highness the Tenth Prince is dead. There will be no more concubines in the Zun Wang Mansion. From now on, I will be the only mistress in the mansion. With the title of Zun Wang Consort, although I don't have my husband by my side, the emperor and His Highness the Tenth Prince had a deep father-son bond. Now that he has lost his beloved son, he will definitely transfer the unfinished father-son affection to me. In the future, I will be included in both major and minor affairs inside and outside the palace. Won't I be enjoying a good life? I know that Father has always been thinking about Mother, so he would never abandon me. See, Father has indeed planned a great future for his daughter. Father's great kindness, A Ran will never forget." She straightened up and raised her head, a hint of sarcasm curling at the corners of her lips.
