Chapter 312 The Blind Wife of the Chief Assistant's Family (62)
princess,"……"
In the Daxing Dynasty, a woman’s dowry was private property and could be freely controlled by the woman.
But most women give their dowry to their children. The main wife is generous and willing to give some children to the concubine. This is to give face to the concubine's children. If she is not willing to give it, no one can say anything.
In the end, King Duan was in a good mood. He was afraid that she would treat Qiao Mengyao harshly, and that Qiao Mengyao would come to her to ask for a dowry when she got married.
"Your Majesty, I have a son and a daughter, and I gave her a dowry. Shouldn't I let my Jia'er carry an empty box and get married as a princess in the future? Jia'er is the prince's legitimate daughter, and the prince doesn't consider her at all?
"
Prince Duan, "You have so much dowry, how much can Jia'er use? Moreover, Yao'er is her sister, so her dowry should be divided into half of her sister's. How much do the two sisters love each other?"
Princess Duan, "..."
"And since Mengyao came back, you have always targeted her. Mengyao never cares about you. What else do you want?"
Princess Duan, "..."
She really didn't want to deal with Qiao Mengyao. Qiao Mengyao was just a concubine at best. How many concubines were there in this house? Her son was already the heir, and it wasn't like she was full enough to fight Qiao Mengyao.
However, Qiao Mengyao didn't think so.
She felt that her stepmother was not a good person, and that the princess was not good to her. She played tricks with the princess all day long, and did not think about the fact that she was the daughter of a foreign wife. The princess was an orthodox princess, and her husband and biological son hurt a daughter of a foreign wife.
Deep down, as a biological brother, Crown Prince Duan does not love his biological sister but loves her. Isn't it right for the princess not to want to see her?
As a result, in her case, the princess really felt sorry for her if she didn't want to see her, and her various methods of dealing with the princess seemed to be justified.
Princess Duan was really fed up with her little tricks, which made Qiao Mengyao frustrated several times. Qiao Mengyao acted as the victim and complained to Prince Duan and Prince Duan.
Princess Duan was so disgusted.
No matter what King Duan said, Princess Duan would not give Qiao Mengyao a dowry.
She also has her mother's family to rely on, so she is naturally not afraid of King Duan coming in hard.
Prince Duan really couldn't do anything to her.
When Qiao Mengyao found out, she secretly sneered in her heart, Princess Duan would always beg her for help.
Because it was around this time in history that Princess Jia fell ill and died within a few days.
Now that she has read the ancestral medical books of those old doctors, her medical skills are even more exquisite, and there is room for medicinal materials. The pills she pinched are given to those noble families, and she has made many connections.
Everyone in the circle knew that she had excellent medical skills, so naturally she was the only one who could save Princess Jia.
Sure enough, within a few days, Princess Jia fell down due to a cold for no apparent reason. The director of the Taiyuan Hospital just happened to return to his hometown, and the other doctors of the Taiyuan Hospital were helpless.
Princess Duan finally begged Qiao Mengyao.
Qiao Mengyao crossed her legs and said, "If the princess wants me to save Princess Jia, that's fine. Unless you return the position of the principal wife that should belong to my mother to my mother and return the dowry that should belong to me, then I will save her."
Princess Jia has a life."
Princess Duan, "..."
What's strange about such a ridiculous request is that neither her husband nor her son objected.
Princess Duan was very disappointed, Jia'er was their daughter and sister, and they actually had to force her to compromise before they would save Jia'er.
Especially Prince Duan, as the crown prince, he is the only support for their mother and daughter in this family. However, is he doing human affairs now?
For Yun Niang to become the first wife, not only would she have to grovel to serve tea and incense to Yun Niang's memorial tablet, but her status as a child would also be lower than Qiao Mengyao's.
She refused to back down for the sake of her son, but her son was so stupid that he actually helped Qiao Mengyao.
Doesn't he know that if she becomes a step-mother, his identity will also be criticized?
Princess Duan closed her eyes. She could no longer count on her son. She could not watch her daughter die.
In the end, Princess Duan agreed. Under the pressure of her husband and son, she changed from the original wife to the stepmother overnight.
But Qiao Mengyao still failed to cure Princess Jia. After taking her medicine, Princess Jia's condition became more serious, and she could only breathe in the end.
Princess Duan was going crazy, "Didn't you say you could cure it? Why is my daughter getting worse and worse?!"
Qiao Mengyao said: "There will be all kinds of accidents when treating diseases and saving people. I have tried my best. You can't blame me."
Qiao Mengyao also thought that she had space and the medicinal materials in it were omnipotent. Now this situation also made her doubt herself.
But soon she thought that in history, Princess Jia died of illness at this time.
Now she has tried her best to save Princess Jia, but Princess Jia is still going to die.
This can only be said to be fate. Princess Jia is not blessed with a long life, so she can't be blamed.
The feeling of guilt in her heart quickly disappeared.
His biological sister was dying, and Prince Duan was also a little sad. "Mom, my sister is seriously ill. We are all very sad, but it is really not Yao'er's fault. You can't vent your anger on Yao'er..."
Princess Duan slapped Prince Duan on the face, "I don't have a son like you, get out! Get out of here!"
She even suspected that King Duan deliberately prevented her from getting close to his son, and then turned her son into Yun Niang's son.
She has never been so disgusted with a man.
"Qiao Mengyao! If anything happens to my beautiful child, I want you to pay with your life!"
Qiao Mengyao was protected by Prince Duan and Prince Duan, so she was completely unscrupulous. Here, Princess Jia's life was hanging by a thread, but over there, she took the dowry given by Princess Duan and married Mu Huaiying in a glorious manner.
The wedding was held with great fanfare and the entire capital was filled with joy.
However, Princess Duan stayed at her daughter's bed in despair until she returned to the Taiyuan Hospital in her hometown three days later.
Princess Duan immediately invited him over, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"Princess, the princess's illness was not serious in the first place. Unfortunately, strong drugs were used. Now that I have reached the end of my strength, there is really nothing I can do for you."
Princess Duan's face was twisted.
Qiao Mengyao! That bitch! She did it on purpose, to kill her Jiaer!
"Hey, I do know someone who has excellent medical skills and the ability to rejuvenate. If she is here, maybe she can really bring the dead back to life..."
"Who, who?"
"She is far away in Nandao Mansion. Even if we rush to invite her, it is too late now."
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Princess Duan will not give up.
Now that Prince Duan and his son Char Siu could not be counted on, Princess Duan went directly to her parents' family for help and quickly went to Nandao Mansion to ask for Dr. Gu.
But unexpectedly, they happened to meet the prince's driver on the road. The people sent by Princess Duan brought Gu Mo here within an hour.
Gu Mo was almost dragged all the way to Princess Jia's bed by the people around Princess Duan.
Princess Duan stood by nervously, "Doctor Gu, what's the matter?"
