Chapter 213 A Purse
The sarcastic smile on Princess An Ning's lips suddenly could no longer be maintained.
Murong Ling did not notice the change in Princess An Ning's mood. She acted aggrievedly towards Princess An Ning, "Aunt, did you see this? This is the orphan that Prince Lu married. Yesterday I went to the maple forest to enjoy the scenery, and she was so domineering that she drove me away."
"She doesn't take us, the royal family, seriously at all. She relies on marrying Lu Jiangnian to look down on everyone."
Princess Qin pulled her hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I don't know your temper. You still make a fuss even when it's unreasonable. If it was really Madam Lu who drove you away, you would have made a big fuss."
The Princess of Qin really wanted to beat this evil creature to death.
Out of respect for Princess An Ning, the Wang family finally agreed. After returning to Beijing, the two families invited an official matchmaker to discuss the marriage.
Murong Ling still insisted on making things difficult for Lu Jiangnian's wife in front of the Wang family. What else could it be but lingering feelings?
Princess Qin glanced over and saw that Madam Wang's face did not look good.
Murong Ling broke free from the hand of Princess Qin, took two steps forward, and approached Princess An Ning: "Aunt, I am afraid of my mother's control, so I swallow my anger. Otherwise, she will force me to leave the capital again."
"Aunt, my mother has always been gentle and likes to keep things quiet. But you are different. You have always been a heroine who doesn't tolerate any injustice. Yuan Wanru neglected the royal bloodline like this. Do you think she should be punished?"
Princess An Ning looked at Yuan Wanru calmly and said, "Is that so?"
Lu Jiangnian couldn't help but wanted to speak, but Yuan Wanru shook her head at him imperceptibly.
"I wasn't the only one in the maple forest yesterday. Princess, do you think you can confuse right and wrong just by talking like that?"
"The eldest princess and the princess consort are both sensible and intelligent elders. How could they be so easily deceived?"
As she spoke, she kept smiling and paid attention to the changes in the eldest princess's expression. When she heard her voice, Princess An Ning's eyes indeed fluctuated.
It seems that it is really her.
What a coincidence.
Murong Ling said unconvincedly: "I am telling the truth. Aunt, look, she is so sharp-tongued in front of you. You should know how arrogant she is to me on weekdays."
Princess An Ning patted her hands and said, "Okay, stop talking in anger. I don't think she has the guts to look down on the royal family. After all, she is a smart person."
"What do you think, Mrs. Lu?"
Yuan Wanru replied pointedly, "Of course, I always know what to say and what not to say, and I never speak nonsense."
Lu Jiangnian looked at the two of them thoughtfully, always feeling that there was something else behind their words.
Princess An Ning smiled in confusion: "Well, you'd better keep your word, otherwise, I don't like women who gossip."
These words carried a hint of murderous intent and a strong threat.
Lu Jiangnian's eyes were deep, and he slightly blocked Yuan Wanru's way, but Yuan Wanru seemed to be unaware of it, and still smiled calmly: "Oh, me too."
Everyone present was a little confused.
Yuan Wanru didn't want to delay any longer. "I'm sure everyone has heard about what happened in the carriage just now. Miss Sun and I are good friends. She was injured and couldn't come, so she asked me to come and see Miss Kong and ask what happened at that time."
Murong Ling refused in a firm tone.
"Who are you? If anyone is coming, it's the Sun family. Is it your turn to step forward?"
"This is our tea shed. We can just lend it to the Kong family. Why should we let you in?"
Yuan Wanru ignored her. The person with the most power here was Princess An Ning.
"I wonder if Your Highness, the Princess, could give me some favors?"
Murong Ling coquettishly shook Princess An Ning's arm and said, "Aunt, please do me a favor. She has bullied me several times. Please vent my anger for me and don't let her in."
Princess Qin called out to her disapprovingly, "Ling'er, stop messing around."
Murong Ling gritted her teeth and looked at Princess An Ning with great grievance, "Please just be kind to me."
Under normal circumstances, Princess An Ning would of course do as she wishes. After all, the person in front of her is her own relative, and helping relatives regardless of reason and doing whatever she wants is her usual style.
However, the woman in front of her was a little special, and there was no need for her to become enemies with Yuan Wanru over such a small matter.
"Okay, they are here for business, why are you stopping them? Don't lose your composure."
After saying that, she waved her hand, signaling the guards surrounding the tea shed to move aside, "You can go in."
Yuan Wanru bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
-
Because the injured person inside was a woman, Lu Jiangnian did not enter to avoid suspicion.
After Yuan Wanru entered, she found that the tea shed was very large, with two rooms, inner and outer. Kong Xiuyun was being treated in the inner room.
There were several people standing outside, they were her relatives.
Seeing Yuan Wanru coming, everyone was confused. Yuan Wanru explained the reason. Mrs. Kong's eyes were red, and she lowered her voice in grief and anger: "We all saw what happened just now. We know that it was my daughter who implicated Miss Sun."
"I wonder how Miss Sun's injuries are?"
The whole family was concerned about Kong Xiuyun and did not have the time to find out about Sun Haining's situation. In fact, they were in the wrong.
"Her foot was injured, but it shouldn't be serious."
Yuan Wanru asked, "I don't know, did Miss Kong tell me why the horse went crazy?"
A young man choked up and answered: "No, my sister was in so much pain that she couldn't explain the whole thing."
"Could you please tell the Sun family to wait for a while until my sister is better, and then we can talk about this matter."
At this time, a maid came out holding a lot of dirty clothes. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. Mrs. Kong saw her and took her hand, asking repeatedly: "What's going on in there? How is my child?"
The maid cried so hard that she was out of breath, but she spoke out while holding back her sadness.
"The girl...it hurt so much that she fainted from the pain, and then...she woke up from the pain again."
"It has been bandaged now. The doctor said that her life is not in danger, but... the girl's leg... may..."
The words were not finished, but everyone understood that Kong Xiuyun might become lame.
Mrs. Kong couldn't bear the shock and fainted.
The room outside was a mess, and it was indeed not appropriate for Yuan Wanru to stay.
She walked over and took the clothes from the maid: "Are these the clothes that Miss Kong changed out of?"
The maid nodded repeatedly, very flustered, "How is Madam?"
Although the room was filled with a strong smell of blood, Yuan Wanru still smelled an unusual odor from the clothes.
Her eyes fell on the bloody purse, and then she pulled it out calmly.
He left the tea stall quietly.
