"Well, you've been waiting for me for ages, and you're reluctant to leave my mother's place, aren't you?"
After waiting for a long time without seeing Shen Ning, Princess Chang Le simply came out to arrest him.
"Princess."
Shen Ning smiled and stood up.
Princess Chang Le strode in, took Shen Ning's hand directly, glared at her, and then said to Princess Qi, "Mother, she came to keep me company today. You can't keep her around just because she knows how to sweet-talk people."
Princess Qi was both amused and exasperated: "You silly girl, you're about to get married, and you're still so reckless."
Princess Qi got what she wanted, and with a smile, she teased her daughter and sent her back home. She was getting married tomorrow, so what was the point of her running around like this?
Princess Chang Le walked away arm in arm with Shen Ning, teasing her along the way: "You little flatterer, you've won my mother over. Tell me, what nice things did you give her?"
Shen Ning smiled and said, "It's just a recipe from Yue. What good things hasn't the princess seen? She's only not complaining because of you."
Princess Chang Le knew that this couldn't be the case. Her mother's obvious fondness for the item showed that she liked it very much, and this wasn't the first time her mother had said she liked Shen Ning.
However, this little sycophant always liked to be thorough in everything and speak politely, so she couldn't be bothered to argue with her.
The marriage of the princess of the Qi Prince's Mansion was a major event for the mansion. People could be seen moving back and forth carrying things and making arrangements everywhere in the mansion, their steps hurried and they dared not slack off in the slightest.
Bright red silk ribbons hung all over the corridor, which was the road leading to the princess's wedding.
A middle-aged woman pulled Princess Chang Le along, seemingly wanting to ask her something. Shen Ning and Yu Zhu walked forward to avoid her and wait.
Just as she was standing there, two people walked quickly towards her from the side. Shen Ning was startled, but the other person was obviously more frightened.
He stumbled backward and was about to fall to the ground when Shen Ning instinctively reached out. Yu Zhu, who was beside him, reacted quickly and darted over, using her back to support him.
"Oh dear, madam!"
The maidservant who was following her quickly helped her up, and then cursed at Shen Ning: "Are you blind? Don't you know how to watch your step? Our lady is carrying the young master's eldest son. If you scare him into getting sick, can you take responsibility?"
Shen Ning was scolded harshly, and her gaze fell on Lu Shuying, her expression turning slightly unpleasant. She was the last person she wanted to see.
Lu Shuying also recovered from her shock. After recognizing Shen Ning, her expression changed, and her eyes were filled with disgust: "What are you doing here?"
Shen Ning glanced at her barely protruding belly, pulled Yu Zhu back two steps before saying, "I was invited by the princess, so I shouldn't need to report to you."
The maid next to Lu Shuying immediately retorted angrily, "Watch your mouth, or I'll tell the young master and you'll be in big trouble."
Shen Ning pulled Yu Zhu back, who was trying to block her way. This girl's fighting power had been too strong lately, but this was the Qi Prince's mansion, so they shouldn't cause trouble.
“I didn’t do anything, Your Highness can’t be unreasonable.”
Lu Shuying's eyes blazed with anger: "You really haven't given up on Kunlang."
Who the hell likes your Kunlang or a cockroach?
Shen Ning gritted her teeth: "I came to see the princess, it has nothing to do with the young master, you don't need to do this."
There's really no need for that. Who would want to compete with you for that brain-dead young master?
Then the maidservant, without thinking, spoke up for her mistress, mocking, "Oh, so you're the woman who wanted to marry the young master before? You don't look so good to me, no wonder the young master didn't like you. Don't even dream about it."
Shen Ning has a good temper, and harmony brings wealth, but she's not truly without a temper. These two don't seem like the type to become her clients, and she doesn't care about making money off them.
His gaze shifted, and he immediately had a plan. He looked the maid up and down, then covered his mouth with his handkerchief and smiled meaningfully: "It sounds like you know Prince Qi quite well. You're quite sharp-tongued and pretty. At first glance, you do look a bit like your master. No wonder you're so popular with the young master."
When praised, the maid subconsciously raised her chin, unaware that Lu Shuying's face instantly darkened.
Sowing discord is a despicable tactic that the world looks down upon, but it's undeniably effective.
Shen Ning then looked at Lu Shuying's belly: "If my maid hadn't reacted quickly just now, you would have been lying on the ground by now. This is a royal bloodline. Only after you give birth to him can you firmly hold onto the young master. You have to be careful and not let those scheming vixens harm you."
Lu Shuying's expression changed several times before she angrily scolded, "Why did you have to be so talkative? Humph!"
Lu Shuying stormed off, but she did take what was said to heart. She didn't leave as quickly as before and was much more careful.
The maid was simple-minded and had no idea that her mistress was wary of her. She kept complaining, "Madam, why did we leave like this? She spoke in a sarcastic tone, which was unpleasant to listen to. She almost bumped into you just now and didn't even apologize. It's unforgivable. I'll go tell the young master later and let him get revenge on you."
Lu Shuying turned her head to look at her, scrutinizing her face for the first time. The more she looked, the more she realized that the girl really did have some good looks, and even strangely, she felt she resembled her. (Psychological effect)
Could it be that I'm keeping a treacherous person by my side who's trying to seduce the crown prince?
"You're running around so happily, aren't you afraid the young master will get annoyed with you?" Lu Shuying asked tentatively.
The maidservant was completely oblivious: "The young master would never bother me."
The maid was trying to say that every time she went to see the young master, it was for the sake of the madam. The young master liked the madam so much, so why would he be annoyed by her disturbance?
However, Lu Shuying didn't understand what she meant. Sure enough, the two of them were secretly having an affair right under her nose, and she hadn't even noticed.
"You bitch!"
"Slap!" A slap landed, stunning the maid.
"Madam, why did you hit me...?"
Lu Shuying stormed off; she was going to confront the young master.
Princess Chang Le came to Shen Ning's side and stood with her to watch the scene unfold, gloating, "What's wrong with these two? They're usually so close, how come they're fighting?"
Once the seed of doubt is planted, it only needs a chance to grow, and it can grow into a towering tree in no time.
Shen Ning also didn't expect things to develop so quickly.
It's not fair to say her methods were dirty; it's just that both Lu Shuying and that maid were stupid. The maid might genuinely be naive, but Lu Shuying was selfish, narrow-minded, and intolerant.
If they would target her based on mere rumors, then it seems like she's also capable of severing ties with her own maid over a single provocation.
"If the princess trusts me, she should tell the princess to be wary of her. You can never imagine what even more foolish things these foolish people are capable of."
Princess Chang Le nodded: "Of course I believe you."
After saying that, she immediately summoned her maid and asked her to send a message to the princess, instructing her to keep Lu Shuying under surveillance and to prevent her from causing any trouble during her wedding.
She wouldn't allow anyone to ruin her wedding, and she wouldn't allow anyone to embarrass her.
