"Miss Ruyan, Princess Pingnan is hosting a banquet today, and the prince has left the palace early."
"A banquet? Did you bring Xia Yunxian with you? Did you say when you will be back?"
Jiang Ruyan had been lying on the bed for two full days since she was beaten, but Liu Chengyu never came to visit her once.
The maid in front of her shook her head perfunctorily and retreated without saying another word. She looked as if she was some kind of ferocious beast.
"I'm asking you a question, are you deaf?"
Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Jiang Ruyan looked up at the curtain above her head bitterly, feeling extremely desolate.
I wanted to convince myself that Liu Chengyu was just angry and would come over to comfort her sooner or later, but after being punished to copy scriptures last time, his attitude towards her became unpredictable, and Jiang Ruyan became more and more unsure.
Thinking of Liu Chengyu's complicated and thought-provoking look when he looked at Xia Yunxian that day, she went crazy with jealousy!
Just when he was worried, a strange and luxurious figure appeared at the door.
"Oh, why did sister Ruyan get hurt so seriously? It really makes her feel bad."
Jiang Ruyan looked up in confusion, and Wen hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "I have long heard that my sister has a beautiful face, and seeing her today really makes me feel inferior. No wonder she is so loved by the prince."
Seeing the wariness in her eyes, Zhuye, the maid next to Wen, said, "My second wife heard that Miss Ruyan was bullied, so she hurriedly brought some medicine. I hope the girl won't dislike her."
She is actually the second lady of the Hou Mansion!
Jiang Ruyan was flattered and was about to thank her, but was stopped by Mrs. Wen.
She let out a long sigh and glanced dissatisfiedly outside the room, "Xia Yunxian is really too much. He didn't find a suitable maid for my sister. It's just that my sister is kind-hearted and easy to talk to. Otherwise, the kind of servant who doesn't know how to serve the master would have been born long ago. Sold out!”
But Wenshi didn't know that since Qing Tao was beaten to death, Jiang Ruyan was sent to the old lady's house again. No one of the maids in the house who wanted to curry favor with her dared to approach her again, for fear that the next person to be taken advantage of would become Own.
At this time, Jiang Ruyan immediately understood Wen's intention. She was not dealing with Xia Yunxian, and now she was trying to win her over. She was humble and self-proclaimed in the name of her sister. She was really sincere!
The woman on the couch immediately showed a pitiful look, "It's all Ruyan's own misery, no one can blame her."
"Sister is the savior of the crown prince, so why should you belittle yourself? Look at the ladylike demeanor of my sister. She is capable of achieving the position of the crown prince's concubine!"
Jiang Ruyan's heart was moved by the praise, and her eyes were bright again.
When I followed Xia Yunxian in the past, people always secretly laughed at her for being just a little adopted daughter, saying that she was a pheasant and could never turn into a phoenix!
How could anyone be so flattering? Wen's flattery greatly benefited Jiang Ruyan, and she immediately had a good impression of the second lady.
"Second Madam, you've received the award. How can Ruyan be so lucky?"
"My sister has also heard about what happened this time. Xia Yunxian has a vicious heart. How can my sister be her opponent? If my sister were here, she would never let her be so arrogant!"
Wen's eyes were shining brightly, and she said meaningfully, "My sister lives in Yimei Courtyard. If my sister needs a place, I will ask someone to let her know and come and go often in the future!"
The two seemed to hit it off, and after getting acquainted for a while, Wen left the room with a smile.
"Madam, this Jiang Ruyan is just an orphan girl who was taken in by the general's palace. Can she beat the concubine?"
The maid Zhuye thought of her tragic situation and felt that the rumors were untrue. If the prince really loved her so much, how could he not even look at her.
"What do you know? Just because she has no background, the prince can keep her despite her mother-in-law's objections. It shows that she is quite capable! Xia Yunxian must be very proud these days. Just wait, Jiang Ruyan can still join forces with me. Are you worried that you can’t defeat her?”
Wenshi proudly smoothed her hair, then suddenly frowned, "Wait a minute, my hairpin seems to have fallen there!"
…
On this side, Jiang Ruyan was extremely excited. She thought she was isolated and helpless in the Hou Mansion. Now with the support of the second lady, she no longer has to be so timid!
At this time, Liu Wenyao's scolding sound could be heard faintly from outside. Jiang Ruyan came to her senses and slowly walked out of the house, enduring the pain of the wound.
I saw two maids kneeling on the ground crying, slapping their cheeks.
"Hit, hit hard!"
"Yao'er, what are you doing?"
Jiang Ruyan couldn't help but frown, and with a look she signaled the two maids to leave quickly. She didn't want the old lady and Cheng Yu to mistake her for causing trouble again.
"Don't leave! Damn it... mother, they said my eyes look similar to my second uncle's, and that I am my second uncle's illegitimate son!"
Mother? Wen, who had returned the same way, opened her mouth in shock and couldn't help laughing.
She originally disdained being associated with people like Jiang Ruyan, but she was right. She could bring her biological child under Xia Yunxian's nose, what kind of good thing could it be?
Just as he was about to laugh at Xia Yunxian's stupidity with Zhuye next to him, he found that his maid's expression was extremely strange.
No, Liu Wenyao seemed to have said something else just now?
"Don't listen to their nonsense, ignore this nonsense!" Jiang Ruyan obviously didn't take it seriously, but Liu Wenyao felt extremely aggrieved.
"But why doesn't my father like me? Isn't it because I am actually the second uncle's child, so I always have a straight face..."
After hearing this, the smile on Mr. Wen's face finally gradually disappeared, and a chill couldn't help but rise from the soles of his feet!
Are there any groundless rumors?
She said that when she first met Liu Wenyao, she always felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, but wasn't it? His eyes were exactly the same as the second master's!
Xia Yunxian's reminder already appeared in her mind. The more Wen thought about it, the more suspicious she became. How could her always shrewd mother-in-law care so much about two children who were not related by blood? They were also allowed to occupy the position of legitimate sons and legitimate daughters!
Presumably, the mother-in-law knew the truth a long time ago, so she took advantage of the false news that the prince had died in battle and brought the second master's flesh and blood into the house to acknowledge his ancestor!
Ha, ha ha!
In the end, the real fool is herself!
No wonder the prince was indifferent to Jiang Ruyan's injury. How could he care about his second brother's woman?
Wen's expression became more and more ferocious. She just felt that she was being tricked. Remembering that she had just treated her like a sister just to win her trust, she suddenly felt sick and went crazy!
I'm afraid, that bitch is already laughing in her heart, right?
Maybe she is planning to replace her as the new second wife of the Hou Mansion in the future!
At this time, Wen Shi had the intention to kill, "Let's go! I can't spare these adulterers and adulterers!"
