Wanruo stood quietly by the side, with an indifferent expression, as if she didn't hear anything.
Jiang Xuejun glanced at her slightly gloomy face without leaving any trace, and felt a little happy in his heart. He smiled and said, "What man doesn't take concubines? As a wife, I should be magnanimous. Even if it means letting my husband have a few days of rest, what's the big deal for me?"
"That's right, how can that compare to Miss Jiang? Master Xie is the one who truly cares about Miss Jiang. He married her after going through the three letters and six formalities. How can that compare to those women who just beckon you into bed with a flick of the finger?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
The topic was about to be diverted, and the ladies went out to play in groups of three or four. Xie Xiuzhu couldn't sit still at all, so she ran away and went to play in the cherry blossom forest.
Wanruo felt a little bored, so she asked for leave from Jiang Xuejun: "I came to congratulate Miss Jiang today, and I'll leave first."
She had come today out of necessity for the old lady's sake, and had agreed to come. She just wanted to give her gift and then leave.
Jiang Xuejun asked in surprise: "Why are you leaving so soon?"
"Miss Jiang has many guests today, so I can't disturb them too much. Besides, the old lady is used to the medicinal food I make, so I have to go and serve her."
Jiang Xuejun said, "Then please sit for a while. I have prepared a gift for you. You were wronged last time, and I have been wanting to give you something to show my appreciation."
"That's not necessary..."
"If you don't accept it, are you blaming me for not treating you well last time?"
Wanruo pursed her lips and agreed: "Thank you very much, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Xuejun nodded and smiled: "Then wait for me here."
Then he turned around, stepped onto the pier, and walked away leisurely.
Wanruo had no choice but to continue sitting in the pavilion.
At this moment, two other daughters were leaning against the railing in the pavilion, feeding the fish. They glanced at Wanruo and said sarcastically, "I think Xuejun is really a good person. He invites all kinds of people."
"I don't know what humble family he came from. Didn't he steal things before? In my opinion, it's not necessarily that he was wrongly accused. It's just that people of such low births are always more sophisticated and do things perfectly."
"What kind of person is this who's so stubborn and willing to live in someone else's house? Maybe she's thinking of seducing a man and rising to the top."
Wanruo turned her head to look at them, meeting their provocative gazes: "What are you looking at? Have I wronged you?"
Wan Ruo said calmly, "It seems you also want to seduce a man and rise to prominence. Otherwise, why would you dress up so extravagantly and show yourself in public?"
The two men's expressions changed instantly: "You are so brave!"
Wanruo could no longer stay there. She felt something was wrong. These two people were targeting her too obviously and inexplicably. She had never provoked them before.
She immediately stood up and walked out of the octagonal pavilion.
The two men immediately rushed over to stop her: "You still want to leave? You are so sharp-tongued, you really have no parents and no manners!"
Wanruo's face was gloomy, but she became more alert in her heart. They seemed to be deliberately provoking her, and she didn't know what their purpose was.
She pushed them away and was about to leave, but they looked at each other and immediately grabbed her.
The other maids and servants also gathered around and pushed Su Yue, who was about to step forward to protect her, to the back.
"Girl!" Su Yue shouted anxiously.
But at this moment, a burly old woman rushed out and deliberately pushed Wanruo hard. The railing of the octagonal pavilion was not even waist-high, and she would fall down if she touched it.
Wanruo was originally on guard against the entanglement of the two ladies, but she didn't expect that someone had a backup plan. She was caught in the trap and fell directly into the lake.
But she still held on to the two ladies tightly.
If this is really a trap, they have to suffer together!
