The road to wealth of a peasant widow

Chapter 241 Greetings

At this time, Changfu, who was standing by and waiting, became a little anxious.

Because Sui Sui had to unbutton her collar and belt to rescue the county lady, at the nanny's signal, the maids formed a human wall outside to prevent others from seeing what was happening inside.

As for the outer area, it was guarded by several servants and guards to prevent unauthorized people from snooping, so that Changfu, a foreign man, was also isolated outside the double human wall.

He heard the maid crying and knew that his sister's rescue was effective, but he could not see his sister. He could not help but shout loudly, "Sui Sui, are you okay?"

Sui Sui was still slumped on the ground. Hearing the sound, he quickly stood up and responded loudly: "Brother, I'm fine!"

As she spoke, she bowed to the young lady and the nanny on the ground and said, "I don't know the specific treatment methods, so this is all I can do. The rest needs to be treated by a proper doctor. Since the young lady is awake, I will take my leave now!"

The princess finally came to her senses and said slowly, "Thank you for saving my life, young lady. Please tell me where your mansion is and I will send someone to thank you tomorrow."

She realized that although the clothes worn by the girl who saved her seemed simple, they were of high quality and not vulgar, and must not have come from an unknown family.

"No need. I was originally out on a boat trip with my brother. Saving you was just a coincidence. It was a casual act. It's nothing. There's no need to be so serious about it!"

At this moment, the princess was about to say something, but she heard the little girl loudly report: "Quick, the doctor is here, the doctor is here!"

The nanny's face lit up with joy, and she quickly ordered, "Quick, have someone welcome him in!"

As she spoke, she hurried to help the princess straighten her clothes so as not to be too rude.

Suisui took the opportunity to slip away from the crowd and reunited with Changfu who had been waiting for a long time. The two brother and sister went home together.

It was on the carriage that Chang Fu realized that the woman his sister had rescued was of such a prominent identity: she was a princess.

He couldn't help but tap Sui Sui's head lightly with his folding fan: "Don't be so reckless next time. It's a good thing you were rescued this time. If you couldn't save her, I wonder how you would explain it to others!"

Since she is a princess, she must be from a royal palace. Although their Liu family has three Jinshi who are officials, compared with the royal palace, what can they count for? They are not even as valuable as someone else's little finger.

If something goes wrong with the princess today and the Liu family is blamed for it, even their entire family’s heads might not be enough to pay for the compensation!

Sui Sui obviously knew how serious it was, and was a little scared at this moment. He said sullenly, "I know, I'll be more careful next time!"

Seeing his sister like this, Chang Fu felt a little reluctant: "It's right to save people, but you have to choose the right time and try not to cause trouble for yourself and your family, otherwise it will be a case of good intentions but bad results!"

Sui Sui nodded to indicate that he understood.

This is why she didn't announce her home address just now. She was afraid that if they came to thank her mother or something, her mother would know about it and would give her a lecture again.

Unfortunately, she probably forgot that at the beginning, she said that she was from "Jirentang", which was already an introduction of herself.

The reason why the nanny didn't let the princess continue asking was because she knew this. With the information about the shop, it would be easy to find out the family's background.

The brother and sister, hoping for a lucky break, only talked about the beautiful scenery of the lake and the delicious seafood there when they got home, hoping to convince Chen Cui to go with them next time they had the chance. They did not mention anything about saving people at all.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as expected.

The next day, Chen Cui received a visiting card signed "Prince An's Mansion", which said that a maid would visit the next day and asked if the master could spare the time to meet her.

Chen Cui found this post very strange. Not to mention that their family had no dealings with this so-called Prince An's Mansion, why would the other party send a post?

Also, just come and visit, how could it be that the master did not come in person but asked the maid to come? This is even more strange!

However, no matter how strange it was, since the other person had sent her the invitation and specifically asked to visit her, she could only wait respectfully.

The Liu family only had three low-ranking officials, and they obviously did not have the confidence to say no when faced with the invitation from the palace.

Normally, such matters are handled by the eldest daughter-in-law. This time, because the post was specifically addressed to her, Chen Cui took a look at it and replied. Then she told Qin Ruozhi about the matter and asked her if she knew the details of the Prince An's Mansion.

"Prince An's Mansion? Why would mother ask this?" Qin Ruozhi was a little surprised.

"It's not that I want to ask, but they sent me a post and will be here soon. I'm also wondering, so I want to ask if you know what's going on with this family!"

Chen Cui almost wanted to hold her forehead with her hand. Her family only moved around in the social circles of middle and low-level officials, and the people they interacted with at most were the wives of fourth and fifth rank officials. They only interacted with them because of Qin Ruozhi. She had never even heard of this "Prince An's Mansion"!

"No wonder you haven't heard of it, mother. Although this Prince An's Mansion is called a palace, the prince and princess are long gone. Now there is only a princess, who has been frail and sick since childhood and has been raised in the palace. She will not leave the palace easily. It can be said that most of the Prince An's Mansion is empty, so naturally no one will come out to socialize. I don't know why the people from the Prince An's Mansion would come to visit our house!"

Both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were very puzzled and couldn't help but talk about this matter during dinner.

Changfu and Suisui froze when they heard this. They looked at each other and knew they couldn't escape this time. The only difference was who would confess this to their mother?

Changfu signaled to Suisui with his eyes, telling him to confess quickly, otherwise he would not be able to hide it tomorrow.

Suisui responded with a look: You are the older brother, you took me out, so naturally you should speak.

Chang Fu raised his eyebrows. It was you who saved the man, and it was you who caused the trouble. And you actually asked me to speak up!

Sui Sui rolled his eyes and said, "You agreed with me to save him. This decision was not made by me alone!"

The brother and sister took advantage of no one's attention to flirt with each other, which made Brother Xuan look at his uncle and aunt curiously. What were they doing by winking at each other?

Chang Fu realized that their actions had been noticed by the child, so he didn't dare to do anything else and could only helplessly confess what happened yesterday to his mother.

At this time, everyone had almost finished their meal, and Changfu's words caught the attention of the whole family.

"Sui Sui, is it true that you actually used first aid to save that princess?"

Qin Ruozhi exclaimed in surprise.

It's no wonder that she was so surprised. Although she taught Sui Sui this method, she herself had never had the opportunity to use it to save anyone. Now she learned that her sister-in-law already had practical experience. How could she not be curious!
