Chapter 291 Life-saving grace
The old lady smiled for a while and was helped up by the maid beside her. She came to the young woman and said, "Zhen'er, get up quickly. It was the Third Prince and that girl who saved Jing'er. We should thank them."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law calmed down and brought Jing'er and the maids to the Third Prince and Zheng Sisi. Without any nonsense, they knelt down in front of the Third Prince and Zheng Sisi.
Zheng Sisi was startled by their actions and turned away and jumped far away. She was afraid that such an old man would shorten her lifespan by kneeling to her, so she avoided him. She thought to herself, if you want to kneel, kneel to the Third Prince, not to me. The Third Prince is a member of the royal family, it’s okay for him to be worshipped, but she can’t bear it.
The Third Prince laughed out loud when Zheng Sisi jumped. He shook his head helplessly and said to the old lady, "Old Madam, please get up. Don't scare the Princess Anping."
The old lady stood up with the help of the maid and said to the third prince, "Third prince, I was inconsiderate. You and Princess Anping saved Jing'er, and also saved the only bloodline of our Gu family. I will definitely come to your house tomorrow to thank you again."
The old lady waved to the child who was still sobbing, "Jing'er, come quickly. It was Princess Anping who saved you. You should kowtow to Princess Anping and thank her for saving your life."
Zheng Sisi stepped forward and said, "Madam, please don't do this. I'm afraid it will shorten my life. And this is Jing'er, right?"
Zheng Sisi squatted down and touched the child's head, saying, "Jing'er was choked by a fruit core just now, and the core also caused damage to his throat. It must be very painful now, and he is also frightened. You should ask the doctor to check him again and prescribe some medicine to heal his throat."
Zheng Sisi took out two candies from her sleeve pocket and stuffed them into Jing'er's hand. She also stuffed an anti-inflammatory pill and the candies into Jing'er's mouth and comforted him, "Jing'er, don't cry. Eat a candy to sweeten your mouth. In the future, you must spit out the pits when you eat things with pits, understand?"
Jing'er held the sweet candy in her mouth and nodded obediently: "Well, thank you, auntie."
The young woman also kept thanking him.
When the old lady heard that Jing'er still wanted to see a doctor, she quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Princess Anping. I will take Jing'er home and take good care of him. I will go to your house to visit Princess Anping tomorrow."
Zheng Sisi stood up and quickly shook her hand: "No, no, it was the Third Prince who saved Jing'er."
The old lady said earnestly, "Princess Anping, I heard from people around me that it was Princess Anping who came up with the idea, and the Third Prince saved Jing'er based on what you said. Both of you are Jing'er's saviors. Don't refuse. I will definitely visit you tomorrow. I'll take my leave today."
The old lady saw that the eldest princess was also nearby, and thought that she had heard what had just been said. She had some opinions about the eldest princess's mansion today. It had been so long since the incident and no one in charge had come forward. If it hadn't been for the third prince and the Princess of Anping to rescue them, Jing'er and her life would have really died here.
The old lady bowed to the Grand Princess and said, "Grand Princess, I am not feeling well and Jing'er is frightened. We will go back to the mansion to get a doctor. I hope the Grand Princess will forgive me."
The eldest princess was also aggrieved, so she could only smile and comfort him, "Old Madam, it is my fault that I did not entertain you well today. I want to apologize to you here. You and the young master must take good care of your health. I will send some medicinal herbs and supplements to you and the young master later to nourish your health."
The old lady politely declined: "Grand Princess, we are all fine, you don't have to worry about it, I'm leaving now!"
Then the old lady left with her daughter-in-law, grandson, and maids. When the onlookers saw that Old Madam Gu and her family had left, they also dispersed. There was still some time before dinner, so those who were watching the show continued to watch, while those who were chatting gathered together again.
But many people were still looking back in the direction of the Third Prince and Zheng Sisi, and whispering something to the people around them.
After the crowd dispersed, the eldest princess said to the third prince: "Zhen'er, why are you here?"
The Third Prince said indifferently, "Aunt, I was just walking in the garden. I saw a lot of people here and it looked like something happened, so I came to check it out. Aunt is busy, I won't keep you any longer and will go back to the men's area first."
The Third Prince has always been like this to people, and the Grand Princess didn't mind. She watched the Third Prince leave with Zheng Zhiyuan, Zhong Ruiyu and others.
