The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Ma’s face was full of concern, looking very much like a virtuous wife with only her husband in her heart.

After hearing Ma’s words, the Marchioness suddenly remembered, ”Yes, since you mentioned it, I almost forgot!”

”Indeed, we should invite an Imperial Physician to thoroughly check on Brother Yuan!”

As the Marchioness spoke, a trace of annoyance flashed across her face.

Ma quickly comforted her, ”Mother, you were just too worried. You were only absorbed in happiness just now, and seeing the Third Young Master standing healthily in front of you, you overlooked it for a moment!”

”I also just happened to think of it when I went out earlier!”

It wasn’t that she was too thorough, but that the mother-in-law cared too much about her son.

Ma’s words made the Marchioness feel very soothed, and her gaze towards Ma was filled with loving kindness.

He Tiantian secretly gave Ma a thumbs up in her heart, this Wild Writer truly is not simple, not to mention anything else, just this emotional intelligence deserves praise as ”high”.

The more Ma was like this, the more vigilant He Tiantian became.

She strongly suspected that Ma saying to invite an Imperial Physician was definitely not for Gu Jingyuan, but that her target was ”He Dian”.

He Tiantian deliberately made a subconscious gesture of touching her lower abdomen, carefully avoiding everyone’s gaze.

Clearly guilty, clearly panicked, yet still trying hard to conceal.

That act of deceiving only oneself directly caught the attention of Ma.

”Already panicking? Ha, this is just the beginning. When the Imperial Physician arrives, I will certainly tear off your hypocritical facade!”

Ma secretly vowed fiercely.

Of course, she also realized: Oh, this Lady He is indeed clever, also quite alert.

I only mentioned inviting an Imperial Physician to examine Gu Jingyuan, never mentioning her at all, yet she quickly became alert!

This person is indeed not easy to deal with!

No wonder the original owner ended up in such a state!

”Someone, take the Marquis’ card to the Imperial Hospital and invite an Imperial Physician!”

The Marchioness did not know that the daughter-in-law she thought was virtuous, was secretly scheming something.

She loudly called a little maid, directly instructing.

”Yes! This slave obeys!”

The little maid did not dare to delay, hurriedly went out to handle the matter.

Gu Jingyuan waited until the little maid walked far, then said, ”Mother, I’m fine! Although Ah Dian is not a doctor, her ancestors were all hunters, and their family has secret remedies for treating external injuries!”

”And these months, Ah Dian has been very good to me, feeding me, giving me medicine, taking care meticulously, only then could I recover!”

Gu Jingyuan collaborated with He Tiantian, lovers turned into siblings.

But in his heart, he still liked ”He Dian” and regarded her as his own woman.

Only the gap in their identities was too large, even with a life-saving grace, ”He Dian” entering the Marquis Mansion would not be easy.

So Gu Jingyuan could only desperately tell the Marchioness and family about Ah Dian’s care and thoroughness.

Ma: ...Hmph, you dog man!

He Tiantian: ...Duck, need not, dear, it’s better to distance ourselves as soon as possible!

”...” The Marchioness looked at Gu Jingyuan, then at He Dian.

Having spent half a lifetime in the inner court, experiencing all kinds of struggles, how could she not see that her son and this village girl were not ordinary ”siblings”?

But, if such a matter can turn into siblings, let them be siblings.

With this daughter-in-law Ma, the Marchioness was satisfied.

Coming from the Duke Wei Mansion, although not the legitimate eldest daughter, she was the favorite legitimate youngest daughter of the Duchess.

Reasonable, gentle, even a bit endearingly naive, she was a very competent daughter-in-law.

Dutiful to in-laws, gets along well with sisters-in-law, never causing trouble or acting out in the Marquis Mansion.

The most crucial part is, she gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Gu Jingyuan.

So, even though Gu Jingyuan married Ma for more than a decade, without taking concubines, the Marchioness never felt that Ma was jealous.

She didn’t even stuff women like a nuisance between her son and daughter-in-law.

If possible, the Marchioness would want Ma to be her daughter-in-law for a lifetime.

Even if the Marchioness wasn’t satisfied with Ma, she wouldn’t want her son to marry a village girl!

Lady He, alas, her status is too low.

Even if she were the daughter of a squire, having saved her son, the Marchioness could hire her as a noble concubine.

...Better be siblings, the Marchioness, with dignity, planned to give Lady He a decent standing, acknowledging her as an adopted daughter.

Ma: ...Impossible!

She wanted Lady He to lose all reputation and be directly expelled from the Marquis Mansion!

He Tiantian: ...Dear, do as you please!

The Young Madam and Second Young Madam remained silent, occasionally exchanging glances.

For a moment, in the hall, eyes darted around, but no one spoke.

Half an hour later, the Imperial Physician arrived, finally breaking the eerie atmosphere.

The Imperial Physician first examined Gu Jingyuan, then assuredly said to the Marchioness, ”The Third Young Master has completely recovered. However, he did consume a lot of his vitality, he needs good nourishment and rest!”

”Oh! Good, good! Thank you, Imperial Physician!” The Marchioness repeatedly thanked.

Before the Marchioness could command someone to see the Imperial Physician out, Ma, full of concern, said: ”Mother, I see Ah Dian’s complexion is not very good either, let’s ask the Imperial Physician to check her pulse as well!”
