Chapter 120 The legitimate daughter whose engagement was broken off 17
The eldest princess was moved by what he said, and turned around to ask Si Ying for the medicinal recipe.
Si Ying smiled and said, "Aunt, this medicinal diet recipe is good, but it is only effective for pregnant women. If you need it, Shu'er can also develop a medicinal diet suitable for you."
The eldest princess was very happy to hear this, and turned to Zhao to praise Shu'er for growing up and becoming sensible. However, she then thought about how after giving birth to a son, so many years had passed and she still had no signs of pregnancy, and she couldn't help feeling sad.
Si Ying saw the princess's sadness, thought for a moment and said, "In order to take care of my mother and develop medicinal food these days, I have also learned some medical skills by myself. Why not let me check my aunt's pulse?"
The eldest princess didn't expect her to find out anything, but she still reached out her hand.
Si Ying soon found out the cause of the eldest princess' illness. It was because although Zhao risked her life to save her, the eldest princess was frightened during her pregnancy and injured her body during childbirth, so she had not been pregnant for many years.
Si Ying took a pen and paper and wrote down several medicinal diets suitable for the princess to improve her health. She asked her to change them every day and there would be obvious changes in one or two months.
After getting the recipe for the medicinal diet, the princess was eager to go back and try it, so she didn't stay long and got up to say goodbye.
Soon, a few months later, Zhao gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl, who turned out to be twins.
Lord Zhao was so happy that he held a banquet for three days without leaving. The Zhao family had another member. He held his two children carefully. He was happy and excited to be a father again. However, he had experience this time. Unlike when the original owner was just born, he held the two children skillfully and coaxed them to sleep, without causing any trouble for the Zhao family.
After the two little ones fell asleep, Zhao looked at the two pink balls with a smile on her face and said in a low voice, "Master, it's time to give the children a name!"
The adults thought about it and finally decided to name the two children separately. The second boy was named Zhao Yucheng and the third girl was named Zhao Yujing.
Two years passed in a flash. In the past few years, because of the previous broken engagement, there was still some impact. Those who came to the Zhao Mansion to propose marriage were all from small and impoverished families. Lord Zhao didn't want his daughter to suffer by marrying down, so he did not agree to their proposals. So now Si Ying is still waiting to be married.
This is just perfect, and it saves her a lot of worries. The two little ones, who are already over three years old, may be being naughty now.
Brother Zhao Yucheng is fine, probably because he feels that as a brother he should be a little man like his father. But sister Zhao Yujing is different. Lord Zhao named her Jing because he saw that she slept well and quietly. But now that she has grown up, she doesn't fit the name Jing at all.
Although Zhao Yujing is very small, it does not affect her from jumping around in the Zhao Mansion every day. Today she instigates the servants to take her to rob bird nests, and tomorrow she plans to crawl through the dog hole to go out and play on the street.
Lord Zhao was so angry that he had a headache and couldn't help but wonder if the children were born with the wrong gender.
Zhao Yucheng was able to calm down and start learning to read and write at the age of three, but Zhao Yushu was naughty all day long. Before he had this little daughter, he didn't know that there were so many dog holes in their Zhao Mansion.
He didn't know how many dog holes he had blocked to prevent Zhao Yujing from going out, and finally he simply spent money to renovate the mansion.
That day, Zhao Yujing sneaked away while the maids were not paying attention. Just as she was about to run out of the house, she was seen by her second brother Zhao Yucheng. Zhao Yucheng used his small body to block her and prevent her from leaving.
Zhao Yujing looked at her second brother, who was obviously born a little earlier than him but acted like a little adult. So she changed her mind and persuaded Zhao Yucheng to run out of the house with her.
This was Zhao Yujing's second time leaving the house. The first time, she finally crawled out through the dog hole, but she was caught by her eldest sister after walking a few steps. She was most afraid of her eldest sister, so she was much quieter in the next few days. Now she had inquired and found out that her eldest sister had gone to the eldest princess's house to attend a banquet and was not at home, so she bravely took her second brother Zhao Yucheng and slipped out of the house.
Zhao Yucheng was also afraid that his eldest sister would know about the punishment, but his small body could not stop his third sister who was stronger than him, so he was forced to come out with her.
This was the first time that the two of them went out on the street alone without adult accompaniment. They found everything new and wanted to take a look. Gradually, they walked farther and farther away.
Today, Si Ying was invited to attend the eldest princess' banquet. It was the banquet that caused the original owner to be doomed in the previous life. Si Ying had been planning for so long in the past few years, just waiting for today to punish the evildoers for the original owner.
The Prince's family also arrived at the banquet. This was a good opportunity for them to find marriage partners for their two sons, so they naturally couldn't miss it. The Princess of the County still planned to find two daughters-in-law for her sons, and she had to find those who had no ideas and were very obedient.
She must keep a firm grip on the power in her hands, and the two daughters-in-law are only for the expansion of their Prince's Mansion. However, the eldest daughter-in-law can only be from a poorer family. She also knows that her eldest son cannot find any noble lady in the capital now, but the younger son can still choose a good marriage, and her mother's family can help their Prince's Mansion in the future.
Chu Ziyu saw Si Ying at the banquet, and a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes. In the past few years, he had sent people to kill Wei Lanxue many times. But Wei Lanxue was protected by someone every time and escaped by luck. Later, he finally found out that it was Si Ying who protected Wei Lanxue.
He didn't understand why Si Ying wanted to protect Wei Lanxue, but later he guessed that Wei Lanxue must have told Si Ying about her own weaknesses, so he planned to take advantage of this banquet to get rid of Si Ying as well.
Si Ying naturally wanted him to find out about her on purpose, and her purpose was naturally to make him take action. Otherwise, how could she justifiably expose his evil deeds in front of everyone?
Chu Ziyu acted quickly. He asked the servants of the Princess's Mansion, who had been bribed long ago, to secretly put drugs into Si Ying's cup and the cup of another official's daughter.
This time he did it very covertly. He had someone quietly apply the powder around the rim of the cup, and then had a bribed maid pour wine into it. This way the wine was non-toxic, and the powder would only stick to it when drinking. Even if something went wrong, no one would be able to find out what was wrong.
If Si Ying hadn't asked Tuan Tuan to keep an eye on him, she wouldn't have known that he could do this.
It can only be said that the cunningness of the Prince and Princess might have been inherited by Chu Ziyu, which is why he is so meticulous and vicious at such a young age.
Si Ying looked at the other drugged person, the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty. With such a family background, she could marry the crown prince. Naturally, she looked down on Chu Ziyu, the second son with an ordinary family background and reputation. So if he wanted to become the prime minister's son-in-law, he could only use such despicable means.
