The Physicist Wife Who Overturned The World

While Consort Dowager Jing waited, no one came to entertain her. After an entire day, she was tired, thirsty, and hungry. Her entire body was numb, but there was no result.

In the past, Consort Dowager Jing might have been able to bear it. But she was used to living in comfort now. How could she bear such pain? Her back was already aching. Besides, she had taken some slow poison to lure Ye Jiushang out; her body had yet to recover. She could not withstand such torture at all.

The palace maid who had come to the Ninth Lord's Estate with Consort Dowager Jing advised repeatedly, "Your Highness, you should return. Perhaps the Ninth Lord is really not in the residence. Everyone knows that he's often not in Imperial City. You can't wait here like this."

"Is Jiushang really not around or does he not want to see me?" Consort Dowager Jing was conflicted about this. She was most afraid of the second scenario.

In the past, if Ye Jiushang was in the Imperial Capital and she wanted to see him, he would appear.

But now, he was unwilling to see her at all. His absence was just an excuse. She did not believe that he would leave so soon after returning.

Although she had raised him, this child became independent at the age of five. She rarely came in contact with him. Many times, she did not know what he was doing, but she knew that he was getting stronger and stronger.

So she had only taken care of Jiushang for five years, during which she had the late emperor's protection. Most of the time, it was the late emperor who took care of him. To be precise, she did not have much gratitude to Jiushang, not to mention that she was only a maidservant of his biological mother.

At the thought of this, Consort Dowager Jing became increasingly panicked. She no longer wanted to help Fuling fight for anything. She only wanted to obtain Ye Jiushang's forgiveness, or she would have nothing.

Consort Dowager Jing waited in the Ninth Lord's Estate for half a day, but he still did not appear. In the end, she couldn't take it anymore and had no choice but to return to the palace.

Xue Fanxin knew that Consort Dowager Jing was waiting in the Lord's Estate, but she did not care. She even forgot about the matter. She was busy making canned fish in the Reverse Spirit Heaven Wheel's space and worked for an entire day. Then, she went to soak in a hot spring and had a sumptuous dinner before sleeping soundly. She did not even know when Consort Dowager Jing left.

The next morning, the first thing Xue Fanxin did was go to the small cave to see Ye Jiushang. She sat by the crystal coffin and chatted with him, telling him everything she had done yesterday.

"Ah Jiu, I didn't go out to see Consort Dowager Jing. You won't be angry, right?

"Consort Dowager Jing is clearly here to look for you. It's not convenient for you to see her now. If I meet her, I might make her unhappy. No matter what, she's the person who took care of you growing up. I don't want to offend her.

"But it doesn't matter. If she doesn't provoke me, I won't do anything either. If she dares to cause trouble, I won't be polite.

"Alright, I'm going to cultivate. You're in seclusion, so I have to work hard too." Xue Fanxin kissed the crystal coffin.

She bumped into Heiyao as soon as she came out.

Looking a little anxious, he immediately reported, "Your Highness, something happened at the Moon Burial Ridge."
