The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 979 - 973: A Bargain for Gu Youyou

Lin Qianqing looked towards Madam Zhang and Miss Zhang, whose expressions were not too good, and said, "Since that is the case, let us move Madam Zhang and Miss Zhang to Consort Zhang’s courtyard, where the flowers are a different shade of red."

Madam Zhang’s face changed dramatically, and she hurriedly said, "Your Highness..."

Before she could finish her statement, Lin Qianqing had already spoken.

"Long Luo, escort Madam Zhang, Miss Zhang, and Consort Zhang over."

She had directly issued an order to dismiss the guests.

Madam Zhang clenched her teeth hard, as if she wanted to shatter them.

What a Lin Qianqing! Hadn’t it been said before that the Lin Family’s young lady had been spoiled? Spoiled to the point of having no schemes, but why were her words so sharp?

She had hoped that her own daughter could take the opportunity to showcase her talents in front of the ladies and madams, to let them know that her daughter becoming a consort was only due to bad luck, not because her status, beauty, or talents were inferior to Lin Qianqing.

Yet unexpectedly, Lin Qianqing had sent her daughter back with just a few words. And not only that, she had dismissed her as well.

What did she mean by this? Could it be that she, a legitimate wife of a prime minister, should not be seen by others?

"Prince Consort, what goes around comes around, please think carefully before you act, hmph!" With that, Madam Zhang, along with her two daughters, stormed out of the flower hall angrily.

She had legitimate business to discuss with her daughter; therefore, her visit was mainly to see Consort Zhang openly and directly.

Lin Qianqing’s expression darkened, and she turned to look at Gu Youyou, who was visibly worried, and forced a smile, "Cousin, you mustn’t look down on me. After all, I am the principal wife, am I really afraid of them?"

"As long as you’re fine, that’s enough," Gu Youyou sighed helplessly.

Everyone had arrived, and after having tea in the flower hall, they went together to the back garden of Prince Jin Residence to appreciate the flowers.

Someone secretly reported the incident in the flower hall to King Jin, and his face turned dark instantly.

He smashed a plate full of fruits on the table and said harshly, "So, this flower viewing event failed to win over those madams, and instead benefited that female doctor?"

The servant who had reported knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak further, even enduring a kick from King Jin.

"Useless thing, get out."

The servant scrambled out of King Jin’s study, and only when he was outside did he dare to rub his painfully kicked chest.

King Jin’s fury was unstoppable; his fists creaked, and he muttered harshly to himself, "It seems I have been too kind to you. Hmph, Gu Youyou, I shall meet you myself to see what abilities you possess."

With that, he shouted, "Someone come here."

A moment later, a maid quickly entered with her head bowed low.

King Jin said, "Go to the consort’s place, tell her that I am ill, suddenly suffering from unbearable abdominal pain."

The maid lifted her head, silently looking at the spirited King Jin, and left the study without a word.

If King Jin said he was ill, then he was ill, and their role as servants was simply to convey the message.

The ladies in the garden were laughing and chatting joyfully; being women of status and position, their walk through the garden was a refined scene in itself.

At that moment, a flustered maid disrupted this refined scene.

"Consort, it’s not good. Prince Jin, in his study, is suddenly suffering from unbearable abdominal pain and asks for you to come take a look."

Lin Qianqing was stunned. King Jin had strongly approved this flower viewing event, and if it were not a serious matter, he would not have sent someone to disrupt it.

"What happened?" she asked urgently.

"The servant doesn’t know," the maid said nervously.
