As soon as they entered the yard, two personal maids handed over their work. Huachan hurriedly took the little girl to call the doctor. Yinqiu looked at her anxiously and asked in doubt, "What's wrong with Huachan? I haven't seen her so anxious for a long time."

"Sometimes you have to hurry to do things." Jiang Ruohua was supported by Yinqiu and returned to the house. She sat in front of the table in the inner room. Yinqiu asked the little maids to leave, and then whispered, "Miss, the things you asked my family to inquire about are almost done."

"Yeah." Jiang Ruohua was not anxious or impatient. Her plan was to proceed step by step. "It's not good today. The third lady should be back today. You can find time to ask her tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Yeah." Yinqiu nodded.

Unlike Hua Chan, a little girl who was sold by her family when she was only a little kid, Yin Qiu is a family-born child in the Duke's Mansion, and her whole family works for the Duke's Mansion. After Jiang Ruohua woke up from a big dream, she had been thinking about countermeasures in her heart. The Third Madam controls everything in the mansion, and she only has the indentures of two close maids in her hands. She needs to find out who is in charge of various places in the mansion now, and how is her relationship with the Third Madam.

Yin Qiu's father is also a manager, and he is also a servant chosen by her grandfather at that time. It would be best to ask someone she can trust to find out.

But she is not in a hurry to take action now. Now that she has just broken off the engagement, what is the hurry to do? Isn't it to tell the Third Madam that she knows everything?

It just happens that there is a job of copying scriptures to do. Take advantage of these few days to plan the next action first, and there is no need to rush.

Looking at the half-copied scripture on the table, Jiang Ruohua thought for a moment, and then pressed the pen in her hand heavily on the paper, leaving a stain of ink on it.

"Miss!" Yinqiu exclaimed slightly.

"It's so annoying!" As she spoke, she raised a finger in front of her lips and destroyed the scripture she had written. She was a person who suppressed her strong temper. This was best known to the Third Lady who often advised her. In the past, she would also show such temper a little bit. When the Third Lady really couldn't control her, she would use the marriage contract as a raft.

But now this raft is gone.

She can't suppress her temper, and it's not a big deal to slightly contradict the elders.

According to the dream, the Third Lady should be back with her daughter Jiang Ruoting today. In the dream, she was actually angry because the young lady of Mingbo Mansion had booked the tea garden to invite the noble ladies in Beijing to compose poems and enjoy her new tea and snacks. But Zhao Yuexi was sent by the King of Ying, in front of everyone.

Not to mention unmarried men and women, even unmarried couples would not appear together in such a high-profile manner, let alone the legitimate fiancée sitting in the tea garden. God knows how many people are mocking her behind her back. She always remembered the words of the Third Lady when she was outside. When she returned home, she couldn't help but be angry because the King of Ying didn't respect her fiancée, but sent a stranger to participate in the poetry meeting. How could she not be angry because she lost face?

Rounding it off, it was because she was angry with King Ying. She had done it many times in her dreams, so it didn't matter if she did it a few more times.

Yin Qiu watched Jiang Ruohua calmly tear the badly written scripture into several pieces and throw them on the ground, then calmly took new paper to copy.

Seeing this, Yin Qiu moved closer to grind ink for her. She couldn't help but complain in her heart, "My lady, you are really wronged. The Prince of Ying has been too much again and again. You are the Princess of Ying chosen by the Emperor, and he is a couple with that poor lady. He has never taken you seriously."

"The same goes for Miss Zhao. I have never seen anyone so shameless. Even if her family is poor, she is still a lady from an official family. She can actually do such a thing to seduce a man. She is really despicable!" "

Let's not talk about him!" Jiang Ruohua said loudly, and then copied quietly. After a while, she whispered, "What about them? It doesn't matter to me now. As for Zhao Yuexi... I hope she can really keep this love for her whole life."

Where does the sincerity of the royal family come from? The prince's wife, concubine, and concubines are mostly daughters of officials. The marriage is important, the royal family and the mother's family are important, and the words and deeds of the wife of the royal family are important. As for the feelings of her husband?

Under the many conditions before, how could it be possible?

As she kept writing, Jiang Ruohua thought of the scene in her dream again. She thought, whether it was herself or Zhao Yuexi, who was not pitiful?

She used to look down on Zhao Yuexi's self-degrading style, but if she stood in Zhao Yuexi's perspective, what could she do?

Her parents and relatives died suddenly, and she almost got a bad reputation for being unfaithful to her relatives. A girl was alone and helpless, and could only go to her uncles and aunts who had not been in contact for many years. If it wasn't for the coincidence that she met the King of Ying and was sent by the King of Ying, she would probably be turned away.

Her uncles and aunts would not care about her. Seeing that she could get close to the King of Ying, they eagerly drove her over and tried to please him. What if their daughter's family had a bad reputation?

After all, she was not raised by them, and it was not that they were incompetent in bringing her up. They were very considerate of family affection for her to be able to give her a place to live and take in someone like her.

And the King of Ying, as her fiancé and the object of Zhao Yuexi's admiration at that time, why couldn't he solve this problem? He

could just ask for another imperial decree to give Zhao Yuexi a concubine position, but he didn't. In the end, neither of them was better than the other, and they were both pushed to the forefront because of the King of Ying's actions.

Think about it, it's really unfair.

You must stay away from such a man, otherwise everything you do will be like drinking poison to quench thirst.

But she couldn't care about Zhao Yuexi, nor did she want to care about her. No matter how pitiful she was, it didn't mean she wasn't hateful. She relied on King Ying's affection to fight for a place to live, so how could she not be crazy because of love?

...

"Hua'er, auntie heard on the way, what's going on with your marriage with Prince Ying?"

Jiang Ruohua raised her eyes slightly, then she lowered her face and wrote the scriptures in her hand without saying a word, waiting for the third lady to come in, she put down the pen angrily: "Cancel!"

"Why did you suddenly cancel the engagement?" The third lady immediately stepped forward, worriedly took Jiang Ruohua into her arms, and comforted her while looking embarrassed, "It's all auntie's fault. Auntie shouldn't have taken your sister to the farm to check the harvest at this time. What should we do? Why was the engagement suddenly canceled? Hua'er, did you say anything wrong to the prince?"

Jiang Ruohua lowered her eyes. This is the kind-hearted third lady in the Duke's Mansion...

"Auntie, I've had enough!" She grabbed the Third Lady's clothes and said aggrievedly, "Zhao Yuexi, that lowly bitch from a poor family, doesn't know what's good for her! She seduced the prince into wanting her to be his princess! Then what am I! She's so mean that she wants to show off over me before she even enters the palace! The prince doesn't have his mind on me at all now, so won't I be demoted to a concubine if I marry him? I can't stand that little bitch staying over me!"
