The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

  Chapter 70: As Desired (First Update) Shen Shi interrupted Gu Nanzhao, who was about to speak, “The prince has always been considerate, so I am naturally at ease.” She didn’t give him a chance to reply and turned to remind the other young men and women from the Chu family, “All of you, be mindful not to cause any trouble for the prince!” Everyone immediately agreed, eager to get some fresh air after being cooped up in the estate for most of the day. The Second Prince’s rare visit to the estate also gave Liu Shi the opportunity to create chances for her daughter. Naturally, she didn’t want Chu Qianchen to follow along. Smiling, she urged everyone to leave quickly, mentioning that it would soon get dark. Gu Nanzhao glanced at Chu Qianchen once more, remembering their conversation in the pavilion earlier that day. There were still many things he wanted to say to her. He longed to express his feelings more clearly, even wishing he could show her his heart... Sigh... He told himself t...

  Chapter 69: Mother Not far away, Chu Qianling had just thrown an arrow. She had hoped to show Gu Nanzhao how beautifully she had thrown it and receive his approving gaze. However, when she turned around, she happened to see the scene unfolding in the pavilion. Gu Nanzhao wasn’t paying any attention to Chu Qianling. His gaze was fixed on Chu Qianchen’s determined back, looking lost and dejected. Chu Qianling’s heart hurt even more, as if a knife was repeatedly being twisted into her chest. The Second Prince was completely devoted to Chu Qianchen, his heart only for her, the seductive woman. After arriving at the Marquis’s residence today, he hadn’t even glanced at Chu Qianling. Chu Qianling tightly gripped the bamboo arrow in her hand. She was fully aware, deep down, that Chu Qianchen was simply playing the game of pretending to be uninterested, luring the Second Prince into pursuing her. Chu Qianchen had ruined her appearance deliberately to compete for the position of the Second...

  Chapter 68: A Good Match Despite the explanation, Shen Shi still felt a bit uneasy. She subtly shook her head: Ah, Huang'er can be too careless in her actions. "Ah Zhi," the matriarch said sternly, turning to Shen Shi, "Concubine Jiang has already been punished, and Cui mama has passed away. Let this matter end here. What do you think?" She phrased it as a question, but her attitude was already clear. The Chu family’s reputation couldn’t be tainted over a lowly concubine, and it certainly shouldn’t affect her son’s affairs. As the matriarch of the household, her words carried weight. However, Shen Shi shook her head and said calmly, "Mother, without rules, there can be no order; the family rules must be upheld." Shen Shi was never the type to be overly competitive or petty, but in this matter, her stance was firm. What a joke! She was already thinking about how to argue with Chu Lingxiao again to avoid him bothering her. Reconciliation? Impossible! S...

  Chapter 67: Hidden Intentions (Second Update) "Qingyu is related to you?" Chu Qianchen stopped weaving the cord and raised her eyes to look at Hu Po. Hu Po nodded, "Her mother and my mother were cousins. When we were young, we often played together." Hu Po was a family-born servant, and her family had served in the Hou residence for several generations, so she had many distant relatives among the servants in the household. Chu Qianchen generously pointed to the right drawer of her desk, "The complete healing ointment is in the drawer on the right. You can take a jar for yourself." "Thank you, Miss." Hu Po's eyes brightened, and she happily went to the drawer, taking out a small porcelain jar with a white base and blue flowers. She held it in her hands, smiling with delight. "Miss, you're so kind!" "Your words aren’t sweet enough. You should say, 'Miss, your healing hands are like those of a divine physician, and you...

 Chapter 66: 066 Granting Medicine (First Update) Shen immediately saw through the intentions of the matriarch and Liu Shi, and calmly said, "Mother, as you know, Qiniang is the lifeline of my younger sister!" The words Shen spoke shut down what the matriarch was about to say, causing her expression to sour, feeling as if her face had been wiped clean. The room fell into a heavy silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The one whose expression turned the most unpleasant was Chu Qianling, sitting next to Liu Shi. However, her veil covered most of her face, hiding the twisted curve of her lips. Chu Qianling was seething with anger, her nails digging deep into the soft palm of her hand. Her mother had been humble and kind in front of her aunt, saying all the right things, but her aunt remained unmoved. It was clearly Chu Qianchen who had damaged her face, yet now they were expected to swallow their anger and go beg the first branch! Suddenly, Chu Qianling stood up. Her ...

  Chapter 65: Face (Second Update) Chu Qianchen rubbed his head, "If you've done something wrong, you must be punished." She felt a bit puzzled. Recently, Chu Yunmu had been staying in the Bisha Chamber at Shen Shi's place, lying in bed every day, unable to go anywhere. How did he find out about Concubine Jiang's punishment? Before she could ask, Chu Yunmu tilted his head and said, "Elder sister clearly said that this would make you happy..." The brother and sister didn't notice that Shen Shi was standing just outside the door. Liu Shi had just left, and Shen Shi quickly entered, eager to know how well her son's broken bones had healed after removing the splint. Coincidenseal, she overheard the conversation. Huang Jie'er?! Shen Shi couldn't help but recall the day Shen Wan came to the house and the words Chu Qinghuang said. She frowned, feeling something was off. It seemed that her daughter was more concerned about Concubine Jiang's p...
