After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 161 Tell me, why did you lie?

Hearing this, no one in the room moved, and Qi You's face became even colder.

Just as Qi Heng looked at the maid in the room with cold eyes, the next second, Qi You's suppressed cry of pain came from the room, "...Mother, I...I have a stomachache."

Hearing the voice, Qiao Rongjin, who was originally dealing with Prince Rui, became panicked for a moment. He subconsciously pushed Prince Rui away and hurried to see his son. Seeing the prince's unhappy expression, he was instantly frightened.

"Fuqiu, go call the doctor!"

Qiao Rongjin really didn't think her son was lying. She knew her son very well. He was such a well-behaved man on weekdays. She didn't think her son would lie from the bottom of her heart, so she was a little panicked.

"Mom." Qi You looked sick and listless as he crawled into Qiao Rongjin's arms. However, when he inadvertently met King Rui's eyes, a hint of pride flashed across his eyes, and he even raised his eyebrows at him provocatively.

Qi Heng: ...

He really didn't expect that this kid was pretending, because he was also shocked just now. Now seeing his provocative look towards him, Qi Heng felt his hands itching and wanted to hit someone.

In anger, Qi Heng said directly, "Ajin, this kid is just pretending, look at him!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Rongjin subconsciously turned to look at his son, but saw that his son was looking at him with aggrieved eyes, then glanced at King Rui, and then quickly retracted his gaze as if frightened, and then his little brows were wrinkled into a bunch, as if he was enduring great pain.

He seemed to have said nothing, yet he seemed to have said everything.

Qiao Rongjin was angry. She turned to look at Prince Rui, whose face was obviously cold because of his anger, and said with a bad face, "Your Majesty, please go back as soon as possible. I don't have time to serve you now."

"Ajin, I..." Prince Rui, who was about to say something, was speechless when he saw that Qiao Rongjin was really angry. He could only look at the aggrieved Qi You, snorted coldly and left.

After the people left, Qiao Rongjin looked at his son, who no longer had any grievance on his face, and said calmly, "Tell me, why did you lie?"

At first she was really scared and thought that the boy really had a stomachache. But after careful observation, she found that this was not the case. King Rui did not really accuse the boy wrongly. He was just pretending. Since she did not want to see King Rui today, she drove him away.

Between her son and Prince Rui, she of course chose her son without hesitation.

Hearing this, Fuqiu and others in the room looked at the young master in surprise. Could it be that such a well-behaved young master of theirs would pretend to be sick?

Qi You saw that his mother looked a little indifferent, and was afraid that she was really angry, so he hugged her waist with both hands and whispered, "He looks a little angry, I'm afraid he will hurt you."

In fact, the reason was not that. He saw that his mother didn't want to pay attention to that man, so he pretended to have a stomachache.

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin felt comforted. She reached out and hugged the little person in her arms, and said slowly, "Don't worry, he won't be like this. Don't do this next time. I thought you really had a stomachache just now, and I was startled."

Qi You replied in a low voice, "Mom, I won't do it again next time."

Try something else next time.

Soon, the doctor was called. It was Zhuyun who called him, so he came very quickly. But as soon as he entered the room, he saw that both the master and Master Qiao were fine, so he knew that everything should be fine.

"I pay my respects to the Concubine, the Fifth Young Master."

The doctors in Prince Rui's Mansion are all hired and are relatively old, so they basically call themselves this. Qiao Rongjin was not used to it at first, but now she is used to it.

"Doctor, please check him. He had a stomachache for a while, but he feels better now." Qiao Rongjin thought he had to put on a good show. Since the doctor was already here, he might as well check him out to check his pulse.

"Yes, Concubine."

"Fifth Young Master, please stretch out your hand and let me take a look for you."

Hearing this, Qi You sat down obediently and stretched out his hand, but his eyes were looking in the direction of his mother.

Seeing this, Qiao Rongjin sat aside and looked at him with gentle eyes.

After a long while, the doctor spoke, "Madam Concubine, the Fifth Young Master is fine. He just may have eaten too much at night and has some indigestion. This abdominal pain should be caused by this."

This situation is indeed often seen.

"Okay, please help the doctor, Qinglian, send the doctor off for me."

"Yes, master."

Qinglian escorted the person out of the hospital gate, then handed the old doctor a purse. The old doctor weighed it and estimated that there should be about one or two taels of silver, so he left with a smile.

Inside the house, Qiao Rongjin pulled Qi You over and rubbed his stomach. He probably knew why he had indigestion, because when they were having dinner at the Qiao Mansion this evening, several elders took turns picking food for him, and he finished it all. He didn't usually eat so much, so it was normal for him to have indigestion.

"Qinglian, go and make some hawthorn and red dates water for Youer to help him digest the food." Qinglian is a good cook. When she lived in Haitangyuan before, every time she wanted to eat something she cooked, she would ask the cooks in the big kitchen to cook it for her personally. So she is very clear about her cooking skills. Now, whenever there is something about the kitchen, she always calls her subconsciously.

"Yes, master."

The people in the backyard were always paying attention to Prince Rui's movements. When they heard the news that Prince Rui had left Yunshen Pavilion in a rage, everyone immediately became alert, dressed up nicely, and then hurriedly ordered their servants to invite Prince Rui.

But, in the end, it was all in vain.

However, today's incident also let everyone know a lot of information. It seems that there is a rift between the prince and Concubine Qiao, and they may not be on good terms in the future. Just look at Concubine Qiao's amazing appearance. If they really take it seriously, all of them put together will not be her opponent. It's not that they have too much confidence in her, but that they know men too well. After all, water doesn't like good-looking people. Even as women, they like good-looking men. It's the same reason.

A few more days passed, and Prince Rui never entered the Yunshen Pavilion again from that day on. Qiao Rongjin and his son lived a very comfortable life.

With the reward from Concubine Xian and her son being favored by the emperor, Qiao Rongjin hardly had to compete for favor and could live a comfortable life in Prince Rui's mansion.

She wins by relying on her child!

Qiao Rongjin, who was leisurely playing with carrier pigeons in the yard, saw Qin Yun coming in, followed by a group of servants. Each servant was holding or carrying something in his hands. The big items were carried by one person alone, and the small items were all packed in boxes.

Qiao Rongjin's eyes lit up. These were the full-length mirror and various cups, small mirrors and the like that she had bought at Juzhenge that day.

"Just put everything here, and be gentle, these things are very fragile!" Qin Yun looked carefully and arranged how the servants should put them.
