"Okay, it's good that Quaner stays with me." Mrs. Ruan burst into tears.
"You are the only one I have."
"Don't worry, mother will definitely take you back to Jincheng, that is our home."
There was a glint of unprecedented ferocity in Mrs. Ruan's eyes.
Ruan Han, Ruan Hezhu, considering their relationship for so many years, she had already given them a chance, but they did not cherish it.
Then don't blame her for being cruel.
Ruan Hezhu didn't care about the quarrel with her mother and brother.
She went directly to Prince Chen's Mansion and said she wanted to see Song Yu, but the housekeeper told her that Song Yu was not in the mansion.
Ruan Hezhu pondered for a moment and then asked, "Where is Prince Chen? I want to see him. Please tell the butler that I have a precious gift for him."
The housekeeper looked at the box in her hand and said, "Miss Ruan, please wait a moment. I will go and ask the prince for instructions."
After a while, the housekeeper came back and said that Prince Chen was willing to see her, but he was talking to Minister Jiang at the moment, so he asked her to wait a moment.
Afterwards, the butler brought her to the main hall and said, "Miss Ruan, please wait a moment. The prince will come to see you after he finishes his business."
"good."
Ruan Hezhu nodded in agreement.
But before she waited for King Chen, she waited for another person.
The woman in front of me was wearing a pink dress, with a dignified and beautiful appearance. Her every move was an example of a lady from a noble family.
She walked towards him slowly.
In a trance, Ruan Hezhu seemed to see her previous life, where she remained calm and composed after being bullied.
That was the first time she felt that a person could be so calm that it was terrifying.
The difference was that last time there was hatred in her eyes, but this time she just looked at him with scrutiny.
She smiled at herself, "Why is Miss Ruan so nervous?"
Ruan Hezhu took a deep breath and tried to recover from the fear.
"Ms. Lin is joking. I'm just surprised. Why should I be nervous?"
Lin Jing walked to the chair and sat down, and the maid beside her immediately served her tea.
"I know you are Miss Ruan. A servant just told me you were here. So how did Miss Ruan know me?"
Ruan Hezhu then realized that this was the first time they met in this life, and logically, she did not know Lin Jing.
Ruan Hezhu forced a smile, "I'm sure Miss Lin has heard of my relationship with the prince, and I naturally also know that Miss Lin lives in Prince Chen's house."
"I met a strange and beautiful woman here. Who else could it be except Miss Lin?"
Lin Jing raised her eyebrows and looked at her with appreciation, "Miss Ruan is smart."
"I heard about your relationship with the prince in Linzhou."
After all, he was the man she was going to marry in the future, so Lin Jing knew everything about him.
"I thought I would be able to meet Miss Ruan on the first day I arrived in Beijing, but I didn't expect Miss Ruan to be so patient and not show up until today."
Lin Jing continued to look at the woman in front of her with scrutiny. She was stunningly beautiful, almost the same as she had imagined.
However, he did come from a humble family, didn't understand the rules, and his eyes were full of ambition.
I didn't expect that Song Yu liked this kind of woman.
Thinking that Song Yu was avoiding her everywhere because of her, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. Apart from her looks, she was inferior to the woman in front of her.
Ruan Hezhu felt uncomfortable when she looked at her, and she said in a cold voice.
"I don't think it's necessary for me to meet Miss Lin."
"Oh, aren't you determined to become the Crown Prince's Consort? Aren't you afraid that I will take that position?"
She should take advantage of her current favor to give herself a warning and make her give up.
Ruan Hezhu looked at her with a mocking expression, "Song Yu's heart is with me. You are no match for me."
She and Song Yu were a perfect match, and only she could help him get that supreme position.
Now that she has a musket, Lin Jing is destined to die in depression like in her previous life.
No matter how smart or strategic she is, she is destined to be her own foil.
"Ms. Ruan is really confident."
Lin Jing looked at her, wondering where her confidence came from.
"Miss Lin is a smart person. You have been in this palace for more than half a month. You should be able to see clearly the attitude of the prince."
Although Ruan Hezhu focused all his energy on studying the musket, he still kept an eye on Song Yu's movements.
She knew that ever since Lin Jing came to the house, Song Yu would find various excuses to go out during the day and would not come back until late at night.
Lin Jing had only met him a few times, and had no chance to be alone with him.
In the previous life, Song Yu was devoted to him. Although Lin Jing was powerful, he was not as good as him in controlling men.
Lin Jing laughed and asked back.
"Does the prince's attitude matter?"
Song Yu is only the crown prince, and above him there are princes and princesses, so he cannot decide his marriage on his own.
As for Song Yu's heart, she didn't bother to compete at all. All she wanted was the position of the Crown Prince's Consort.
Ruan Hezhu understood what she meant instantly, and the smile on her face froze.
This woman is always so calm and composed, as if nothing really matters to her.
Ruan Hezhu's face turned cold, "In a few days, the position of the Crown Prince's Consort will also be mine."
"Really?" Lin Jing looked at the box in her hand.
"Then I wish Miss Ruan success."
"I will definitely succeed."
Ruan Hezhu stared at her intently. She wanted to see if she could still remain so calm when the day came for her engagement to Song Yu.
"Miss Ruan, the prince invites you."
The butler's voice interrupted the two people's tit-for-tat.
Ruan Hezhu turned and left.
"Okay, butler, please lead the way."
Lin Jing looked at her back, thoughtful.
"Miss, Miss Ruan is so ignorant of the rules, why don't you teach her a lesson?"
The maid asked in confusion.
"There's no need to teach her a lesson. She's fighting for what she wants, and I'm fighting for what I want. Whoever has the ability will win. As long as she doesn't provoke me, that's all that's needed."
To be honest, she considers herself a generous person.
I won't hate someone just because I met him once or because we are enemies.
But for Ruan Hezhu, she felt a physical discomfort, yes, a feeling of nausea.
It was as if she had done something to herself that she could not tolerate.
But the first time Ruan Hezhu saw her, it didn't feel like the first time he saw her.
This feeling was very strange, something she had never felt before.
Ruan Hezhu came to Prince Chen's courtyard and happened to meet Jiang Weiyan.
Thinking of what the housekeeper had just said, that the prince was discussing something with Minister Jiang, Ruan Hezhu understood that Prince Chen was willing to see her probably because of something Jiang Weiyan had said.
But she didn't feel any gratitude, only disgust.
Her biological father, a coward who hides himself away, is even worse than Yu Sanniang.
At the very least, Yu Sanniang spent a lot of effort to get her to come to the capital, but he did nothing.
