Chapter 42 Newly Married Concubine
Without waiting for Bai Shuang to respond, Su Ci continued, "That's not right. All the people in Liangzhou know that your highness's backyard is empty and there is no woman. Then who are you?"

Bai Shuang always felt that she was a special person in Zhao Shizhu's heart, but Su Ci's words at this moment made her realize her embarrassing situation.

No matter how much she liked Zhao Shizhu, even if Zhao Shizhu would occasionally come to Hexuzhai to visit, she was still an awkward presence in this palace.

Su Ci seemed not to be aware of Bai Shuang's embarrassment and asked directly, "What is your relationship with His Highness?"

Bai Shuang felt that Su Ci was deliberately humiliating her. He knew very well that she was of no status, but still deliberately poked at her sore spot. How should she respond?

"Is my question so difficult to answer?" Su Ci looked puzzled.

Bai Shuang felt embarrassed, and after a while she spoke in a hoarse voice, "It was Shi Zhu who let Shuang'er live in the palace. If the princess has any questions, you can ask Shi Zhu."

At this moment, Su Ci heard that Bai Shuang deliberately called Zhao Shizhu by his name in front of her, and she, as a princess, had to respectfully address Zhao Shizhu as "Your Highness". It was clear at a glance who was closer and who was distant.

"Your Highness is not in the palace now, but there is suddenly a person I don't know in the palace. I am wondering whether I should send the girl out of the palace." Su Ci deliberately stopped here.

Bai Shuang was shocked when she heard this, and looked at Su Ci in disbelief: "You...Princess, you can't do this!"

Zhao Shizhu is the owner of the palace. Su Ci couldn't wait to drive her out of the palace as soon as she married into it. How could she explain this to Zhao Shizhu?
"I am the mistress of the palace. I just want to deal with a woman of unknown origin. What's wrong with that? When your highness is not here, I am the one in charge of the palace." Su Ci said calmly.

She suddenly felt that there was no difference between marrying into a prince's mansion and living in a marquis's mansion.

In the Marquis' Mansion, she was her father's darling daughter, and in the Prince's Mansion, she was the mistress of the palace and the woman Zhao Shizhu married in a formal ceremony.

Even if Zhao Shizhu had many beautiful women, with her father standing behind her, her position as princess was secure.

If possible, it would be nice to let Zhao Shizhu divorce her.

Thinking of this, she felt more confident.

Bai Shuang's face flushed red, and after a while she managed to utter, "Shuang'er is Shi Zhu's, and only Shi Zhu can drive Shuang'er away."

Su Ci was waiting for her to say this: "This seems to make some sense, but you can't let the girl stay in the palace without a name or status. Otherwise, if outsiders find out, they will think that His Highness is having an affair with you without a matchmaker, which will ruin His Highness's reputation."

Bai Shuang had never seen a woman more difficult to deal with than Su Ci. She thought Su Ci wanted to drive her out of the palace, so she quickly explained, "Shi Zhu and I love each other, and this is not an affair without a matchmaker."

Su Ci was shocked when he heard this: "You two are in love, but His Highness doesn't want to be responsible for you? Isn't such a man a complete scumbag? Your Highness is such a scumbag, and you still want him?!"

[Su Ci is trying to stir up trouble! ]

[The Green Tea Bitch must have wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate Bai Shuang because Zhao Gou left her alone on her wedding night and discovered that Zhao Gou had a mistress in the backyard of the palace. Then, she drove Bai Shuang out of the palace when Zhao Gou was away!]

[I think we cannot look at Su Ci with ordinary people's thinking. Su Ci might do something surprising! ]

Bai Shuang stared at Su Ci warily: "What exactly does the princess want to say?"

"I'm just curious about the depth of your relationship. If you have a good relationship, I won't be the executioner of your love..."

Bai Shuang's heart skipped a beat: "What does the princess mean?"

Su Ci frowned: "You and His Highness love each other, I can't drive you out of the palace. If I hurt His Highness's feelings, I'm afraid he will dislike me. After thinking it over, I think I can only help you and let you enter His Highness's backyard." [Fuck, Su Ci is crazy?! ]

[Even if he is crazy, he must have been driven crazy by Zhao Shizhu, right? Zhao Shizhu tried every means to marry her, but he did not enter the bridal chamber on the wedding night. On the second day of the wedding, he discovered that Zhao Shizhu had hidden a woman of unknown origin in the backyard. If I were Su Ci, I would also be crazy! ]

[I am a little worried about Su Ci's daughter's mental state! ]

Bai Shuang looked at Su Ci in disbelief, thinking that Su Ci did not seem like a normal person.

This woman was busy taking a concubine for Zhao Shizhu the second day after she married into the palace? She must be stupid, right?

"Really?!" Bai Shuang's beautiful eyes lit up.

"I need to report this to my mother and see if she agrees." Su Ci said, walking away with a sad face.

After leaving Hexuzhai, Su Ci suddenly felt that life in the prince's mansion was quite interesting, even more exciting than when she was in the marquis' mansion.

If she can't change her fate in the end, she might as well live more casually and do whatever she wants.

[When Zhao Shizhu returned to the palace, he suddenly found that he had a beautiful concubine. He was going crazy! ]

[I'm really looking forward to Zhao Shizhu's reaction when he returns to the palace and sees that he has a beautiful concubine, oh haha. ]

Over there, Madam Gao was just about to take a nap, but Nanny Ning came in to report to her that Su Ci had come to Dingjing Hall again.

"Could it be that she is angry about Zhuoqing not being around and has no place to vent, so she comes back to trouble me again?" Gao heaved a sigh of relief after sending Su Ci away, but when she saw Su Ci suddenly come back, she brought it up again.

"If the princess dares to be disrespectful to the lady, wait for His Highness to come back and let him punish the princess." Nanny Ning's eyes showed cruelty.

When Su Ci entered, Gao and Nanny Ning were both very alert. Nanny Ning was even more worried that if Su Ci really dared to disrespect the lady, she would let Su Ci know who was in charge of the backyard of the palace.

As soon as Su Ci came in, she saw the tense Gao family and their servants. She didn't understand why. When she had lunch here before, Gao had greeted her with a smile. Why did Gao look like she was ready to fight with her at any time when she came back?

"What do you want?" Gao was not favored in the palace before, so even though she was one of the four concubines, she had to be humble and submissive.

She thought that after leaving the palace, she could live a leisurely life with Zhuoqing, but Su Ci, her daughter-in-law, did not look like a good person, so she was wary of Su Ci.

"It's like this. I just went to Hexuzhai by accident and found a white girl who claimed to be the prince's beloved. I thought that I couldn't let her live in the backyard of the palace without any status, otherwise it would ruin the prince's reputation..."

Before Su Ci could finish, Gao's face changed slightly: "Don't chase Shuang'er away from the palace, Zhuoqing won't allow it!"

Nanny Ning also thought that Su Ci wanted to drive Bai Shuang out of the palace, and said arrogantly: "Princess, you should know that His Highness is of a special status, and it is definitely not just you and her. If you want peace in the harem, you must be tolerant! Besides, His Highness is over 20 years old and has no heirs, so sooner or later he will have to take a concubine."

She almost said that His Highness didn't value Su Ci and even left her on their wedding night. It would be more realistic to expect Bai Shuang's belly to give birth to a child than to expect the unfavored Su Ci to give birth to a child for His Highness.

I don’t know if I can catch the second round tomorrow. After updating today, it will be 8.6 words. I will still update during the day tomorrow.

If it is not captured, in order to control the number of words, I can only update one chapter tomorrow. If it is captured tomorrow, I can update two chapters. It depends on the situation.
