Stick With The Cold Female lead

Chapter 4 ''Marriage''

After the marriage was arranged for Ji Qingchi, the housekeeper gave Wang Erfeng and the reluctant Ye Shui some silver coins and sent them on their way.

Ji Qingchi was taken back to the mansion by Wang Erfeng, who had her wait outside. She didn't have to wait long before she saw the housekeeper leaving the mansion with a middle-aged beauty. She knew that the beautiful woman was probably the granddaughter of the Pingyang Marquis.

It was said that the Pingyang Marquis's granddaughter, Su Ban, was exceptionally beautiful. She had married the most handsome man in the capital, and their children, whether daughters or sons, were all exceptionally good-looking.

Moreover, their children also preferred beautiful people, and most of those who married into their family were outstanding in appearance. Over the generations, the reputation of the Pingyang Marquis's descendants for their beauty had spread far and wide. Her own royal sisters had their eyes on the Pingyang Marquis's legitimate great-grandson.

Thinking about this, Ji Qingchi shook her head and smiled. She didn't expect that while her royal sisters hadn't succeeded, she was going to marry the Pingyang Marquis's great-granddaughter first.

She had seen the legitimate great-grandson of the Pingyang Marquis, and he was indeed outstanding in appearance. She wondered how the illegitimate great-granddaughter looked.

As soon as Su Ming saw Ji Qingchi, she was particularly satisfied. Although this child's appearance didn't quite meet the Su family's usual standards for choosing a spouse, when it came to the critical moment, she couldn't be too picky. As long as she was strong enough, Su Yi's wheelchair was made entirely of wood and was not light.

"Son-in-law, you must have waited for a long time. Let's go inside and talk quickly."

Son-in-law?

For the first time, Ji Qingchi was taken aback by this address. She hadn't figured out how to respond to Su Ming's "son-in-law" when a little girl with two small buns in her hair ran out crying,

"Mistress! Mistress has fainted again!"

Su Ming staggered and nearly fell, but the quick-eyed Butler Ge promptly caught her, expressing deep concern.

"Mistress! Mistress! The young lady is still waiting for you. You must make sure nothing happens to you.

"Yes, yes!" Su Ming reluctantly gathered her spirits and hurriedly headed inside the mansion.

Ji Qingchi remained in her place, neither entering nor leaving.

There was a rule in the officialdom that women and men about to get married should not meet directly before the marriage. Although she wasn't a man, and this marriage was just a farce for her, she came with the intention of gaining the trust of the Su's family head and establishing a connection with her Shadow Guards. If she failed to follow the rules and angered Su family head, it would be a problem.

After some thought, she walks toward Butler Ge who was also eager to check on Su Yi and said, ''Butler Ge, I won't go in."

Seeing her lower her head, Butler Ge thought she was shy and gave her an approving look.

"Alright, young sir, you can wait here. I'll go check on the young mistress."

Su Ming rushed to her beloved daughter's courtyard. Just as she entered the courtyard, she saw the doctor coming out with a medical kit.

She hurriedly approached her, asking, "Doctor, how is my child's condition?"

The doctor bowed and said with difficulty, "Miss Su's condition is worsening. I am powerless to treat this complex illness. I suggest that Mistress Su to seek a more skilled physician."
