The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1795: Chapter 1795: There Must Be a Problem (4)

Yang Ruxin frowned, ”Since they’re loyal to orthodoxy, shouldn’t they be the Crown Prince’s people?”

”They do indeed support the Crown Prince, as expected by all, but they remain the Emperor’s people. The Crown Prince doesn’t need to win them over, and those with intentions can’t win them over either... Besides, the four dukes are as close as brothers and always united; if you want to win them over, you have to win them all over, and offending one means offending all four families...”

Yang Ruxin scratched her head, feeling complicated, ”So you mean we should just treat them normally from now on?”

”How did my wife get so smart?”

Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes at him.

Gu Qingheng chuckled, ”As for that Cui Fangfang, she shouldn’t be an issue, considering that Duke Cui is not someone to be trifled with. If they haven’t checked thoroughly, they wouldn’t leave her there for any reason... But...”

Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrows slightly.

”Now that you mention it, I recall hearing something...” Gu Qingheng frowned slightly, ”At the end of last year, I heard that Madam Cui caught an illness, something about her stomach and intestines. She tried a few medicines from different doctors, but none worked, and it even led to bloody stools. Later, they called in Doctor Hen Bingwen from the Imperial Hospital. He said that after three doses of medicine, if the stool felt spicy, it indicated improvement, and they could then adjust slowly. If not, it meant the toxins weren’t expelled and the dosage would need to be increased for a while...” He became visibly uncomfortable, ”But whether the stool had a spicy sensation can’t be determined through smell, it had to be tasted...”

”Cui Fangfang tasted the stool for Madam Cui?” Yang Ruxin felt her stomach churning.

Gu Qingheng nodded, ”After that, Madam Cui treated her better than any of her grandsons.”

”So, my intuition wasn’t wrong,” Yang Ruxin sighed, then sneered, ”That Cui Fangfang definitely has a problem.” If the lady in the carriage was truly Miss Cui this year, then she must recognize me. ”But whatever it takes, I should find a chance to meet her... The longevity banquet might be an opportunity...”

The Cui family has so many servants; if someone had to taste the stool, it wouldn’t come down to her.

”But at the longevity banquet, you might not have the chance to connect... Isn’t the Princess of Pingning County’s flower viewing party the day after tomorrow? I’ll set something up...” Gu Qingheng raised an eyebrow slightly, ”How about that?”

”It would be great to gauge some background first. Do you have a way?”

”If it’s something wifey wants to do, even if there’s no way, I’ll find one...” Gu Qingheng winked at Yang Ruxin.

Yang Ruxin gave him a peck, ”With such sweet talk, you deserve a reward.”

”My dear wife, when will I get a further reward?” Gu Qingheng looked aggrieved.

”Hehe,” Yang Ruxin laughed, ”I’m telling you, it’s probably because you haven’t shown enough sincerity, so the heavens are testing you... Make sure you withstand the test, alright?”

”Alright then, keep testing me, just don’t burn me to a crisp one day...”

”If you get burned, I’ll find someone else...”

”You wouldn’t dare...” Gu Qingheng lunged forward, doing all he could until both of them were panting heavily before he released her.

”Gu Qingheng, you beast...” Yang Ruxin was frustrated, looking at the red and green marks all over her body, ”With this heat, how can I wear high-necked clothes?”
