"yes."
Lanzhi got up from the ground. She had just fallen so hard that the skin on her palms had been scratched and blood was flowing out.
The bird's nest that had been simmering for a long time had been knocked to the ground, and the white jade bowl was broken. After getting up, I squatted on the ground to pick up the pieces, but accidentally cut my finger again.
"Why are you so careless? Next time, remember to be more careful. If this bowl breaks, why don't you pick it up quickly! I haven't even taken a single bite of the bird's nest that has been boiled for so long. It was all spread on the floor thanks to you. Be careful not to get hurt!"
Chu Yan sat back down and said words of concern, but there was indeed a bit of sarcasm in her words.
She was indeed a useless slave, unable to do even the smallest thing well. She had specially let this bowl of bird's nest cook in the kitchen for a long time, and she didn't expect it to be knocked over like this. What a waste!
Lanzhi picked up the overturned fragments aggrievedly and prepared to go out. This time the young lady should be angry. Who let her clumsily knock over the bird's nest?
The young lady is a princess, and her temper is normal.
Seeing Lanzhi's back as she walked out, Chu Yan was really impatient. The people in the Duke's palace were so clumsy in doing things. If the slaves in the palace were so clumsy, she would have been dragged down to do things!
It's just that this is the Duke's Mansion, so I can only restrain myself a little, otherwise I won't be able to bear it!
"what happened to your hand?"
After Lanzhi cleaned up the pieces, she was going to the kitchen to make another bowl. On the way there, she saw Gu Ruowan.
"Second Miss, I'm fine."
Lanzhi smiled and shook her head. She knew that it was her own mistake that caused this situation, so she didn't dare to say anything more.
"I see that your hand seems to be bleeding. What's going on? Aren't you going to take care of your sister-in-law? Does she know that you are injured?"
Gu Ruowan frowned and asked, reaching out to squeeze Lanzhi's hand and take a closer look. It was indeed seriously injured, especially the cuts on her fingers.
"I knocked over the young lady's bird's nest just now. I fell down clumsily. The injury on my hand was caused by the fall. Miss, don't worry, it's not a big deal, and the young lady didn't blame me."
Lanzhi quickly shook her head. She knew that the second young lady didn't like Madam in the first place, and she couldn't deepen the conflict between the two of them at this moment.
"Sister-in-law, do you really not blame you? Then why did you ignore the wound on your hand? Do you want to do this to you after knocking over a bowl of bird's nests?"
Gu Ruowan still didn't believe it. It wasn't like she didn't know Chu Yan's temperament. What she had experienced personally over the years was definitely true.
"You don't have to be afraid. Just tell me and I won't make a big deal out of it. Tell me everything in detail."
Gu Ruowan leaned forward to persuade her. Looking at Lanzhi's aggrieved look, she knew that things were definitely not that simple just now, and Chu Yan definitely did not have such a good temper.
Lanzhi could only retell what had just happened. It was not that she couldn't hear the irony in Madam Cai's words, but it was because she heard it that she felt a little aggrieved.
"Okay, you go down and apply some medicated bird's nest first, and I'll ask the people around me to do it for you."
Gu Ruowan patted Lanzhi's hand and asked her to apply some medicine first.
"The young lady is indeed right not to like her. We have only been married for a few days. Why do you have such a big temper! She is so condescending and sarcastic to Lanzhi. She is actually pretending to be pretentious on weekdays, but in private she immediately reveals her true nature. appearance!"
Zhiqing said dissatisfied that she had been serving Gu Ruowan since she was a child, so naturally she always stood by Gu Ruowan's side no matter what she did.
"You have followed me into the palace these years. It's not like you haven't seen what Chu Yan is like. Naturally, you know that she is definitely not as pitiful as she appears. But what's the use of us thinking so? Brother is still so fond of her. she."
Gu Ruoyuan was extremely angry, but she could do nothing. What happened that day was still vivid in her mind. Her brother scolded his sister like this for his wife. He was such a good husband!
Chu Yan always looks pitiful on weekdays, which probably makes her brother very distressed, right?
"The young lady is a princess after all. The master and the madam can only give her some face. It is really difficult for the young lady to do this."
Zhiqing didn't know what to do. Princess Chu Yan had already married in and became the young lady's sister-in-law. The matter was a foregone conclusion. No matter how unhappy the young lady was, there was nothing she could do.
What's more, the young master still likes the princess so much. As long as the young master likes it, who says what's the use?
"But I don't believe she can pretend for the rest of her life!"
Gu Ruoyuan clenched her fists and already had some thoughts in her mind.
…
"You don't know how painful it is for me to stay in the house these days. I don't dare to leave the room casually. I'm afraid of seeing her. As soon as I see her, I know that there will be a lot of people... trouble.
Or I would go to my brother feeling aggrieved, and my brother would immediately scold me, and now I am no longer human inside and out! "
In Youran Pavilion, Gu Ruowan complained aggrievedly about her situation in the house during this period, but she was really feeling aggrieved.
She didn't want to stay in the house anymore, nor did she want to meet Chu Yan at home, so she hurriedly went into the office to talk to her two sisters and complain.
"Your brother really only has eyes for her. He can even scold his sister so casually. He is really confused!"
Chu Xin smiled and said sarcastically, this man is indeed easily confused by women who look pitiful, and always thinks that he can save them, but it is not necessarily clear who is pitiful?
Chu Shu also smiled. Now that Chu Yan was no longer in the palace, she and her sister felt much more relaxed and at ease. Unexpectedly, it made Gu Ruowan unhappy.
"Why don't you come to the palace more often in the future and we can talk to you, so that you can meet Chu Yan less often."
Chu Shu patted Gu Ruowan's hand and rubbed her body to comfort her. The past events did not affect the friendship between them in the slightest.
"The two sisters still don't understand. I feel uncomfortable when I think of her presence. Especially when the family eats together every day, I always feel something is weird."
Gu Ruowan was quite disgusted with what she said. She knew clearly what Chu Yan looked like in her truest form, but when she saw him pretending to be well-behaved and sensible, she felt goosebumps all over her body. How could anyone be so good at acting? ?
"What do you think my brother likes about her? I can only deal with it if I know it clearly."
Gu Ruowan rested her chin with her hand in boredom. Her brother had scolded her countless times in the past few days, and without exception it was all because of Chu Yan.
I'm afraid that in the eyes of her brother, Chu Yan is just a pitiful little beauty who can be stepped on by anyone, while she is just a unruly and willful sister who likes to bully others!
"Ruowan, why don't you show weakness next time we meet? Anyway, you and her are both women. If she can cry, can you cry too?" Chu Shu said nonchalantly.
"Many times you act too tough, which makes her feel aggrieved and weak. Next time you encounter something like this, just listen to me and act softer. Your brother will I probably won’t reprimand you.”
Chu Shu suddenly felt that she was a little funny like this. She didn't expect that one day she would be able to give advice to her good friend without any grudge.
"I think it makes sense," Chu Xin nodded.
"At least your brother is too embarrassed to scold you for acting weak, so that Chu Yan can know that you are not just someone who falls into her trap.
Your brother likes Chu Yan, but he thinks she is too weak and helpless. As long as your brother knows what kind of person she is, I think this love should be discounted. "
Thinking of the past events between the sisters, Chu Xin could only smile and shake her head.
In fact, she was quite fond of this sister at first, and felt that this sister did look aggrieved and weak. However, after experiencing many things, she realized that Chu Yan was not weak at all.
If Ruruo was really helpless, how could he dare to follow Chu Yi, and how could he give her advice?
Most of the ideas that Chu Yi had to make things difficult for them over the years were put forward by Chu Yan, and Chu Yan seemed to be at odds with them, always trying to make them unhappy.
"That's quite right," Gu Ruowan raised her mouth angrily, "Every time I meet Chu Yan, I feel angry in my heart. The more she pretends to be helpless, the more angry I feel. She was angry, and I guess she knew it, so she deliberately angered me."
"Yeah, you already know that. Be smarter next time and don't fall into her trap."
Chu Shu couldn't really explain what it felt like when she thought about the disturbing things that happened over the years.
These days without Chu Yan in the Sun Palace, she finally feels a lot more relaxed. One can imagine how much Chu Yan usually goes too far.
"I wonder if the two sisters have ever thought about getting married. Chu Yan has already gotten married. I guess the two sisters will get married soon, right?"
Gu Ruowan didn't want to mention the troubles at home anymore, and she didn't want to just complain every time she went to the palace.
"I have never thought about this," Chu Shu lowered her head shyly, "I have never thought about my feelings..."
Chu Shu was a little embarrassed to say it. Her feelings for Gu Xiao were over. If she said she didn't like it, she wouldn't like it. If she said she didn't have fantasies, she would have no fantasies. She was so straightforward and cheerful.
It's just that the man named Liu Xuanfeng is quite interesting. At least he has a life-saving grace for him!
"This is the thing I'm most troubled with recently. You two also understand what I'm thinking, so can you help me think about it?"
When she mentioned this, Chu Xin immediately looked sad. She had been thinking about these things these days and really didn't know what choice she should make.
