"Miss Jiang has done Shangyang a favor, so she deserves this gift." Princess Shangyang insisted, "Outsiders may not see it clearly, but Shangyang understands. If Miss Jiang hadn't risked her life to jump into the water, Shangyang would have lost her virginity to that beast today. Miss Jiang risked her life to save me, Shangyang is deeply grateful and cannot repay you. Please accept my greetings."
Having said that, no one could stop this beautiful lady. Princess Shangyang was truly grateful and bowed to Jiang Ruohua. After the ceremony, Jiang Ruohua helped her up: "Princess, Your Highness is too polite. It's just a small favor. I just hope Your Highness is safe and sound."
With this favor, it's hard not to get closer to this princess. Although Princess Shangyang's fate in the dream is not good, she is still a princess after all. Even if she is down and out, she still has some strength. Xie Shuyan and others in the dream are all taken care of by this strength. Princess Shangyang will not help easily. If she does, it must be to repay others for their kindness in the past. She is not as unkind as she looks. On the contrary, she is actually a person of temperament.
And now, I have taken action to avoid the tragedy of Princess Shangyang being entrusted with the wrong person, and I have become Princess Shangyang's savior. Not only has it alleviated the negative impact of the broken engagement, but it has also been considered a meritorious service, and it has also brought me one step closer to the position of princess. In addition, I have Princess Shangyang as my close friend. Without a rubbish fiancé, my life is getting better and better!
The pleasure boat gradually approached the shore, and the voice of the palace maid came from outside the door: "Master, the doctor is here."
"Come in." Princess Shangyang sat down, and did not forget to pull Jiang Ruohua along. It was clear at a glance how close she was to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
The doctor came from a famous clinic in the capital. He knew that the person he was going to see was a noble lady, so he did not dare to be negligent. He bowed deeply after entering, then took out the medicine box and examined the pulses of Princess Shangyang and Jiang Ruohua in turn.
When Jiang Ruohua retracted her wrist, the doctor said, "The noble lady was frightened by spitting water, but fortunately, she was rescued in time. She only needs to rest for a while and take some medicine. As for this young lady, she is not seriously ill, but the lake water is still cold in early summer. For safety reasons, she still needs to drink a dose of hot ginger soup to drive away the cold, and be careful not to catch a cold."
"Thank you." Princess Shangyang nodded slightly, "Then please ask the doctor to go with the maid to prescribe medicine."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
The pleasure boat had already docked, and the palace's carriage was naturally already waiting on the shore. Princess Shangyang was helped up by the palace maid and said to Jiang Ruohua, "You fell into the water today, and it is not appropriate to keep you here to talk
any longer. When Shangyang recovers, I will host a banquet for you." Jiang Ruohua stood up and saluted, "Your Highness is too polite. It's just a piece of cake. You don't have to take it to heart. If Your Highness is interested, I will visit you in the palace and have a gathering with you when you recover."
"You don't need to be like this. You should thank Shangyang for a favor. Otherwise, isn't Shangyang a heartless person?" Princess Shangyang turned around and smiled at her, "This is a little gift from this princess. There is no need for you to refuse."
Having said that, Jiang Ruohua naturally had no room to refuse.
"Since Your Highness has said so, I will respectfully obey your order." Jiang Ruohua's lips slightly raised, knowing that she had accomplished her mission. "See you off, Your Highness." Princess
Shangyang left in a hurry, and she did not stay here for long. After thanking Xie Shuyan and others one by one, she got on the carriage with Jiang Ruoting and went home.
There was a clear difference in Jiang Ruoting's face when she came and when she returned. Fourteen years old might be considered a grown-up girl for a girl, but in terms of calmness, she was far inferior to those with rich experience.
"Big sister, you really scared me today!" Jiang Ruoting got on the carriage and reached out to grab Jiang Ruohua's arm, pretending to be scared. "Why did you suddenly jump in? The water in the lake is still cold, and you've been sinking for so long. What if something happens to
you?" She grabbed Jiang Ruohua's fingers tightly and used some force. Jiang Ruohua frowned slightly and complained, "Second sister, don't hold me so close. It hurts. I'm fine, right?"
After she finished speaking, Jiang Ruoting's hands relaxed. She dodged for a moment, and then leaned against Jiang Ruohua and said, "I was really scared. You said that the lake was so deep and someone had obviously gone down. Big sister, why did you go down that way?"
"But the man who fell into the water was a man after all..." Jiang Ruohua looked worried, "Although her life can be saved, her innocence is gone. You said that we girls are most afraid of marrying the wrong man. No matter whether the person who fell into the water is the princess or not
, we can't decide our life like this, right? That's such a pity..." She didn't believe that Jiang Ruoting didn't see who the man who fell into the water was. Not to mention the princess, even the maids who sold their bodies were unwilling to work in Minghou Mansion. It has been known in the capital that the prince of Minghou Mansion has a weird personality and often kills women. Those prostitutes would rather become prostitutes and go to brothels than enter Minghou Mansion. There is still a glimmer of hope if they enter brothels, but if they go to Minghou Mansion, no matter how good or ugly you look, there is no return!
"I didn't think much about it, and the one who fell into the water was Princess Shangyang, right?" Jiang Ruohua finally managed a smile. Her kind and sincere appearance hurt the hypocrisy the most. She didn't need to say more, but it made Jiang Ruoting feel uncomfortable, so it was meaningful to say it.
The more you pretend to be kind and innocent, the more you are afraid of real kindness and innocence. Jiang Ruohua came to this truth after waking up from the dream. For people born in the dark, even if Guang did nothing wrong, as long as he appeared in front of them, it was wrong.
The third family hates people who are born into a wealthy family and are honest and upright. This is also something they will never get in their lifetime. The more this is the case, the more she wants to hold these firmly in her own hands, show them, and let the world recognize them. Only by watching them struggle for their interests and the injustice in their hearts can she resolve the hatred in her dreams!
Jiang Ruoting didn't say anything for a long time, just pretending to snuggle up to her, lowering her head so that she couldn't see her expression. In the past, she might not have any doubts, just thinking that Jiang Ruoting was really scared, but now...
it's over!
After pretending to comfort Jiang Ruoting, Jiang Ruohua pretended to be pleading, "Okay, it's nothing, right? I can wee after all. The doctor didn't say there's anything wrong. You have to help me speak in front of my aunt when we go back!"
"Yeah..."
Jiang Ruoting nodded, but several sinister thoughts flashed through her mind. She wanted to scratch Jiang Ruohua's face, stab a hairpin into her heart, or push her off the carriage... Why did Jiang Ruohua have to exist in this world?
