Chapter 23 There is always someone better
Now, for the sake of her own reputation as Prime Minister Song, and also to prove the rumor that Prince Yi was harassing the future Prime Minister's wife, she couldn't let the two of them have too much contact.
…
"Miss, I know there are some things you don't like to hear, but I still have to say it. Now you and Master Song are an engaged couple, so you should try to stay away from Prince Yi's Mansion to avoid rumors that damage your reputation."
"Peony is right. Miss, think about it, the prince is always cold to you, unlike Lord Song who is so gentle to you..."
"Okay, stop talking." Jiang Rumin interrupted the two maids who were talking to each other, "I know you two are both thinking about me, so don't worry too much. I just want to know how the prince is recovering now, and I won't get entangled with him."
"Don't worry about this young lady. The prince must be out and about only when his injuries have improved."
Shaoyao was talking when she accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in front of her. She quickly pulled Jiang Rumin's sleeve and said, "Look, young lady, I told you that the prince's injury has healed. You don't have to worry."
Jiang Rumin followed her gaze and indeed saw Jun Tianyi walking along the street, but when she caught a glimpse of the pretty figure beside Jun Tianyi, her eyes dimmed again.
Jun Tianyi went out today and brought Jiang Yuxi with him. When she saw the two of them talking and laughing, she felt a little depressed.
Under the current circumstances, it would not be appropriate for her to go over, otherwise it would seem that she was spoiling the mood and disturbing the couple.
While she was looking at the two people, Jiang Yuxi also raised her eyes and saw her.
Jiang Yuxi was stunned for a moment, then a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
Jiang Rumin didn't want to cause trouble and was about to turn around and leave when she smelled a sweet fragrance. The next moment, a paper bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts was handed to her.
"This sugar-roasted chestnut tastes delicious. Miss Jiang, please give it a try." Song Yunchu could tell Jiang Rumin was depressed at a glance and smiled calmly, "I heard that eating something when you are unhappy can make you feel better."
"Sir Song, you are polite." Jiang Rumin did not take the roasted chestnuts, but greeted him in a distant tone and took a step back to increase the distance between them.
Although she liked to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts, she did not forget that Jun Tianyi was injured by Song Yunchu.
At the same time, a few feet away on the street, Jun Tianyi saw Jiang Rumin and Song Yunchu talking, and his eyes immediately darkened.
He and Song Yunchu already had a grudge against each other, and now that he saw Jiang Rumin and Song Yunchu together with his own eyes, he was even more furious.
Jiang Rumin is most likely really in love with someone else.
"Isn't that my sister and Master Song?"
Jiang Yuxi took in Jun Tianyi's expression and her eyes darkened slightly.
Knowing that Jun Tianyi was still thinking about Jiang Rumin, she was naturally unhappy, but everything was about to be decided. She had to cherish the hard-earned position of princess and continue to play the role of considerate person in front of Jun Tianyi.
Thinking of this, she took Jun Tianyi's arm and comforted him softly, "My Lord, when you were recuperating, my sister sent medicine to you. It shows that she still cares about you. It's just that she can't come in person because of her status as the Prime Minister's fiancée. If you still can't let go of my sister, why don't you go find her and ask her clearly and find out what she thinks, so as to avoid any regrets in the future."
Her words sounded as if she was thinking about Jun Tianyi, but in fact, she was also reminding him that if Jiang Rumin didn't come to visit him, she would be taking on the position of the Prime Minister's wife.
As expected, Jun Tianyi's expression became even uglier.
"Yuxi, there is no need to mention her when we are together. What she wants to do and who she wants to marry has nothing to do with me."
"Then...are we not going to say hello to sister?"
"Of course not." Jun Tianyi said in a cold tone, "Why should I greet her? Song Yunchu first attacked me severely, and then ordered people to spread rumors to slander our reputation. I remember this account clearly, and I will get it back sooner or later. Jiang Rumin is close to Song Yunchu now, so I am being tolerant by not taking my anger out on her."
Jun Tianyi said, holding Jiang Yuxi's hand, "Let's not talk about these annoying people. A few days ago, I customized a set of very unique jewelry in Wangyue Tower. You will definitely like it. I will take you to see it now."
Jiang Yuxi was naturally delighted when she heard this, and tactfully stopped mentioning Jiang Rumin.
Jun Tianyi walked hand in hand with her, but felt empty in his heart.
Speaking of the set of jewelry he customized at Wangyue Tower, he originally intended to give it to Jiang Rumin.
At the end of last month, Song Yunchu had not yet interfered with the two of them. At that time, he and Jiang Rumin had spent a brief period of happy time. Jiang Rumin inadvertently mentioned that she liked lotus, just because the lotus grows out of the mud without being stained, and is an elegant flower.
He must have really fallen in love with Jiang Rumin at that time, so he secretly took note of this. After sending Jiang Rumin home that day, he immediately went to the largest jewelry store in the south of the city and customized a set of lotus jewelry at a high price. He guessed that Jiang Rumin would like it, but now it seems that it is of no use.
It is true that the lotus grows out of mud but remains unstained, but how can Jiang Rumin be compared with the lotus? This set of jewelry is more suitable for Yuxi, and besides - Yuxi is also the one he has always believed in.
On the other side of the street, Jiang Rumin looked at Jun Tianyi and Jiang Yuxi's receding backs, feeling sad.
"There are always better people out there. Miss Jiang, if your feelings are not reciprocated, just let it go as soon as possible. Who knows if there won't be someone better waiting for you in the future?"
As a reader, Song Yunchu once regretted that he could not reach out through the screen to slap Jiang Rumin for her humble behavior. But now that he has really entered the plot and faced with such a pitiful, beautiful face like a little white flower... he really can't bring himself to do it.
Violent education cannot solve the problem. It’s just that the author has no conscience.
Jiang Rumin did not respond to Song Yunchu's advice, nor did she dare to turn around to look at Song Yunchu.
Song Xiang's words... sounded really ambiguous, as if he was trying to show goodwill.
When Song Yun first saw Jiang Rumin's ears blushed, he immediately reacted -
Yes, she is dressed as a man now, and what she said just now is too easy to cause misunderstanding.
