Chapter 18: Meeting Princess An and Not Kneeling

"It seems like today is the day when Princess An returns home!"

"With such a grand ceremony, the people in Prince An's Mansion really value this consort who is here to bring good luck."

"Nonsense! Princess An is as beautiful as a fairy. How much of an injustice must she have suffered to bring happiness to His Highness Prince An!"

Jiang Ruo listened to the whispers outside and couldn't help but lift the car curtain to take a look.

The moment the curtain of the car was lifted, the people's discussions stopped abruptly.

Jiang Ruo found the people's reactions a little funny and gave them a friendly smile.

At the second-floor window of the teahouse opposite, stood a handsome man in white. When he saw Jiang Ruo's sweet smile, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Then, he said to himself: "Xiao Chengjin, this bastard, is so lucky!"

"You can marry a beautiful woman even if you just lie still in your house."

Alas, comparing yourself to others will only make you feel depressed!

Humph! If Jiang Ruo's mother were still alive, Jiang Ruo would be his wife.

This person was Ning Jinghuai, the prince of the Duke's Mansion. When he heard the whispers outside, he couldn't help but stand up and take a look.

Unexpectedly, the soft and sweet little girl in his childhood memory turned out to be so charming.

Oh, by the way, that guy Xiao Chengjin is not interested in women and he has a "hidden illness"!

Haha, Jiang Ruo still has a chance to become his wife.

Prime Minister's Mansion.

When a maid saw the carriage from Prince An's mansion, she hurried back to the mansion to report the news.

Because Pei was in poor spirits, she had to use heavy makeup to cover up her haggard face.

Upon receiving the news that Jiang Ruo would be arriving soon, he hurried to the front hall.

Jiang Yunyao had been tossing and turning and unable to sleep these past two nights because of the loss of her belongings.

The little face that should have been bright and beautiful no longer had the luster it once had.

For some reason, she always felt that the lost property in the Prime Minister's Mansion seemed to be related to Jiang Ruo.

But if you think about it carefully, Jiang Ruo doesn't seem to have such great ability.

It's weird!

The carriage arrived at the door, and Jiang Ruo got off the carriage leisurely with the help of Dongxue.

The two guards at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion looked at Jiang Ruo, who was acting like a princess, with a hint of disdain in their eyes.

She is just a princess who comes for good fortune, but she really thinks she has become a phoenix by flying to a tree.

They bowed perfunctorily and said, "Your servant greets Prince An...ah..."

Before he could finish his words, An Er, who was standing in the front, stepped forward and kicked him away.

An Er's eyes were sharp, and he scolded with a cold face: "What a big arrogance of a dog servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion! He can't even kneel down and bow to Princess An?"

The butler said that if anyone dared to disrespect his princess today, he would teach them a lesson.

Not only were there disdain in the eyes of these two people, but their greetings were also extremely perfunctory.

He's simply courting death!

Jiang Ruo stared in amazement at An Er, who exuded murderous aura. Uh, is he still the little cutie with the brightest smile?

Oh my god! It looks so scary.

Hehe! Are you here to support her?

In her previous life, when she was seven years old, her parents died in a car accident.

Overnight, she became an orphan.

In the year before she turned eight, she had tasted all the ups and downs of life. It was not until she was picking wild fruits in the mountains to satisfy her hunger that she met that fierce old man...

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruo felt a warm feeling in his heart.

There are still many good people in the world, aren't there?

Dongxue looked at An Er with admiration. Just now... this guy was so majestic!

The two servants who were kicked to the ground were terrified. They ignored the pain and quickly knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, "Please Princess An, please forgive me, I know I am wrong."

Jiang Ruo looked coldly at the guards kneeling in front of her and begging for mercy, and said in a cold tone, "Do you think that just because I am a princess who is here to celebrate, you can look down on me at will, right?"

"I was wrong. I beg Princess An to forgive me."

Not far away, some people gradually gathered to watch the excitement.

Jiang Qinian and Pei hurried over upon hearing the noise, and were furious when they saw the scene at the door.

They even dared to cause trouble on the day of returning to the parents' home. It's really out of control.

"Ruo'er, why don't you go home quickly when you come back? What are you doing standing outside the door?" Jiang Qinian had a hint of impatience between his brows and his tone was also very unhappy.

Pei forced herself to stay alert and said sarcastically, "Prime Minister, Ruo'er's status is no longer the same as before. She is the Princess of An!"

Jiang Ruo curled up the corners of his lips in a sneer, just to see how the original owner's scumbag father would react!

Jiang Qinian suddenly realized that the daughter who married into Prince An's Mansion was really different now.

So, he quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness greets Princess An!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Shi quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness greets Princess An!"

Jiang Ruo glanced at Pei coldly, then turned to Jiang Qinian and said, "Father, please don't be polite!"

After saying this, he was the first to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Jiang Qinian glanced at Jiang Ruo's back and suddenly had an illusion...

For some reason, he suddenly had an idea that this daughter would become the mother of the country in the future!

It's impossible. She has no talent or virtue, only beauty. How could she be the mother of the country?

In the hall.

Jiang Ruo sat in the seat of honor with a dignified posture, looking at the somewhat haggard Jiang Yunyao, and raised her eyebrows.

How about it?

Life must be tough!

After Jiang Yunyao reluctantly completed the ceremony, she stood aside with her head down, twisting the brocade handkerchief into a twist with her hands under her sleeves.

What’s so great about it? Isn’t she just a princess who is seeking good fortune?

Look at how arrogant he is.

When I become the Crown Princess... well, it seems that even if I become the Queen, her seniority will still be higher than mine.

At that time, you will have to call her "Imperial Aunt".

Jiang Yunyao thought of this and looked at Jiang Qinian angrily.

"All of you please leave! I have something personal to say to Princess Tongan." Jiang Qinian said to send everyone away.

When Pei heard this, a strange look flashed across her face. She waved to Jiang Yunyao, "Yao'er, go to the kitchen with mother."

In fact, Pei was most worried that Jiang Ruo would reveal her secret.

Jiang Ruo nodded at Dongxue, who looked worried, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

After everyone left, Jiang Qinian's expression instantly became gloomy.

"Ruo'er, how are you doing with the things your father asked you to do?"

Jiang Ruo shrugged and asked, "Ruo'er has only been here for three days, and she's already lost in Prince An's mansion. What do you think?"

Jiang Qinian paused, then said patiently, "You must find a way to take charge of the household affairs of Prince An's Mansion as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

Before Jiang Ruo could reply, a voice came from outside: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

After Jiang Qinian heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to visit in person?

Without time to think about it, Jiang Qinian quickly stood up, straightened his robe, and strode out to greet Xiao Mocheng.

Jiang Ruo stood up and stretched.

The door is closed, let’s go home!
