Upon hearing the name, Lu Xiaoyun felt annoyed: "Just say I'm not here, and if she comes again, just say I won't see her."
"Brother Yu." A charming voice rang out behind Yuan Xiu.
Lu Xiaoyun immediately got goosebumps. Ha, she had gone to the backyard of the Prince's mansion without his permission.
Lu Xiaoyun's icy gaze swept over Yuan Xiu, who shuddered in fright and immediately took off running towards the gatehouse. These bastards had gotten too bold, daring to let people in without permission.
However, Yuan Xiu also found it strange. Wasn't this the order personally given by Your Highness? Miss Yong'an's visits to the Prince An's residence should never be reported, so why the change of heart?
Yes, Princess An also lives in Feixue Garden.
"Brother Yu, Yong'an has really missed you these past few days. I came to see you the day before yesterday, but why didn't you see me? Did I do something wrong to upset you?"
That voice is incredibly soothing.
Lu Xiaoyun frowned, unwilling to feign affection with this white lotus flower. She was so close to the Crown Prince, yet she treated Zhu Yu like a sucker.
He snorted and said, "My manor is very busy. Besides, Miss Ren is a young lady from a respectable family. Aren't you afraid that constantly running to my manor will damage her reputation?"
Ren Yong'an's tears fell instantly. What had she done wrong? Why was Zhu Yu, who always listened to her, so cold to her?
No, absolutely not, my brother the Crown Prince hasn't gotten his hands on military power yet.
With red eyes, she looked at "Prince An, Zhu Yu" across from her with a wronged expression.
Lu Xiaoyun didn't bother to look at her and instructed Xi Yi, "See Miss Ren out."
Xi Yi coldly said, "Miss Ren, please leave."
Ren Yong'an, her eyes brimming with tears, refused to look at Xi Yi, sobbing intermittently, "Brother Yu, why? Why are you doing this to me? Everyone says that Brother Yu stopped liking Yong'an after getting married, and Yong'an didn't believe it at first. But, Brother Yu, I've waited for you for ten years, and now that you've married Lu Xiaoyun, do you no longer want Yong'an?"
Lu Xiaoyun said coldly, "Miss Ren, I am busy with official duties. If Miss Yong'an has nothing else to say, please leave. There is no need for you to come to the Prince An's residence again."
"Busy with official duties?" Ren Yong'an shook his head, tears streaming down his face, forcing a stiff smile. "You handed over the Tiger Tally, what official duties could you possibly have?"
"Before, you were willing to tell Yong'an everything, but a few days ago, when you handed over the military seal, such a big thing, Yong'an was the last to know. Brother Yu, why? Did Yong'an do something wrong and make you dislike him? Didn't you say you would divorce Lu Xiaoyun and marry me?"
Lu Xiaoyun looked at the hypocritical Ren Yong'an: "My queen is very good. I will not divorce her. Please go back, Miss Ren."
Ren Yong'an was, after all, the daughter of the Left Prime Minister, so Xi Yi didn't dare to reach out and pull her. He could only wait awkwardly to the side and say, "Miss Ren, the master is busy, please go back."
Ren Yong'an stared intently at Lu Xiaoyun's back, choking back tears, "No, that's not it, Brother Yu. I know you felt guilty towards me because you had no choice but to marry my sister, and you felt you weren't good enough for Yong'an, which is why you said such cruel things, right?"
"But Yong'an doesn't care. As long as Brother Yu's heart still belongs to Yong'an, Yong'an will be content. Even if Yong'an were to become a concubine or a maid, Yong'an would be happy. I only ask that Brother Yu not ignore me, okay?"
Lu Xiaoyun ignored Ren Yong'an and strode towards the study.
Seeing "Zhu Yu" about to leave, Ren Yong'an cried out in anguish, "Brother Yu, have you forgotten who saved you when you fell into the Imperial Flower Pond thirteen years ago? You said I was your savior. We've had a relationship for over ten years. Now that you've married Lu Xiaoyun, do you not want me anymore?!"
Lu Xiaoyun stopped but didn't turn around: "That's right, I don't want you anymore. Miss Ren, you actually know very well who you took me for back then to send your servants into the water to save someone."
She turned around, looked at Ren Yong'an, and curled her lips into a sarcastic sneer: "I wanted to save you some face and didn't want to expose this matter. Unfortunately, it's clear that you, Ren Yong'an, are pretending to be ignorant."
"You have been taking advantage of my kindness for more than ten years. Five years ago, I saved your life from the jaws of death. I have already repaid your kindness to me."
"Miss Ren, from this day forward, the gates of my Prince An's residence will no longer be open for you. I hope you will take care of yourself. If you continue to cause trouble, don't blame me for being impolite."
She paused and said coldly, "Miss Ren must have heard of my methods. Let's save some face for each other and I hope you won't force me to take action against you!"
"Xi Yi, escort Miss Ren out! If she doesn't leave, drag her out!"
Ren Yong'an felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She could barely stand. Zhu Yu, he actually knew that she had saved the wrong person. When did he find out?
Why has he kept saying he wants to marry her and has such deep affection for her for so long?
What should I do? If Zhu Yu doesn't feel guilty towards her, and if she can no longer freely enter and leave the Prince An's residence, what will happen to my brother, the Crown Prince?
If her brother, the Crown Prince, doesn't get military power, will she still have a chance to enter the Crown Prince's residence and sit on the throne of the Crown Princess?
No, she was unwilling to accept it. How could she let more than a decade of hard work go to waste!
Lu Yuyan raised an eyebrow and saw a woman in a light pink dress with delicate eyebrows, her face streaked with tears. Her eyes were filled with resentment and anger, yet she pretended to be deeply in love, as if she had been wronged by someone else.
Ren Yong'an cried out, "Brother Yu..."
Then Xi Yi ordered his men to carry her out.
Passersby stopped to watch curiously at the entrance of Prince An's Mansion.
"Brother Yu, you can't be so heartless to me! Thirteen years ago, I saved your life; otherwise, you would have been dead long ago. Now that you've married a princess, how can you treat me like this, Brother Yu..."
People pointed and whispered among themselves, some praising Miss Yong'an's righteousness, others saying that Prince An was ungrateful, and still others questioning why Lu Xiaoyun had the right to occupy the position of Princess An's consort.
Xi Yi coldly said, "If Miss Ren doesn't want this reputation, I can spread it around the entire Shengjing City for her, and tell everyone how 'deeply devoted' you are to your master."
"What do you mean?" Ren Yong'an stared at Xi Yi in surprise. Could it be that Zhu Yu knew about her affair with the Crown Prince?
Xi Yi said indifferently, "It doesn't mean anything. Miss Ren should know better than anyone else that you saved the master once, but the master has saved you more than once. The so-called life-saving grace is only owed to the master by Miss Ren. Why step on others to gain a good reputation for yourself?"
"Besides, wasn't it you, Miss Ren, who harmed your master and the princess at the palace banquet? Your so-called deep affection for your master is all bullshit. Oh, right, and on the wedding day, you falsely accused the princess of pushing you into the water, but it turned out you were the one who jumped in."
Ren Yong'an's face turned ashen. She was horrified to find that the people around her, who had just been saying that Zhu Yu was heartless and ungrateful, were now pointing fingers at her.
She felt as if she were being pricked by thorns, and the sounds made her head buzz.
