Chapter 336 The couple who are so angry that they want to kill themselves
Coincidentally, a few days after Liang Zhi’s death, the third prince’s eldest son’s first birthday banquet was held.
Although it was just a child's first birthday party, the Third Prince still made a big fuss about it.
Lu Jiangnian was also among the invited guests.
If it were in the past, he might not go back.
But this time, there is no way he will be absent.
-
There were carriages and horses like dragons in front of the Third Prince's palace, and guards in crimson formal suits stood on both sides of the vermilion lacquered gate.
Lu Jiangnian helped Yuan Wanru get off the carriage. The summer sun shone on Yuan Wanru's golden phoenix hairpin, creating a dazzling halo.
"My lady, you must act well in today's scene."
Lu Jiangnian whispered, gently pinching Yuan Wanru's wrist with his fingers.
Yuan Wanru's lips curled up slightly, and a faint smile flashed in her eyes: "Don't worry, my husband, I will make sure that the Second Prince will never forget the humiliation today."
The two smiled at each other and then separated.
Lu Jiangnian went to the main hall, while Yuan Wanru followed the maid who led the way to the back garden where the female members of the family were.
In the main hall, the third prince, dressed in a crimson purple brocade robe, accepted congratulations while holding his legitimate son in his arms.
The baby had a golden lock around his neck and a red string around his wrist, and he babbled in his father's arms.
Who would have thought that a while ago, the third prince was assassinated and was asking for justice in front of the emperor.
"Lord Lu has arrived..."
As the names were being called out, Lu Jiangnian stepped forward steadily, bowed and said, "Congratulations, Third Prince."
The third prince smiled and said, "Lu Jiangnian, you came early, which is thoughtful of you."
He looked around and then whispered, "Second brother hasn't arrived yet."
-
At the same time, in the pavilion in the back garden, the third prince's wife was surrounded by a group of noble ladies.
When the Third Prince's wife saw Yuan Wanru, she smiled and said, "Madam Crown Prince, your dress is really unique. I'm afraid the material is the new brocade from Jiangnan, right?"
Someone nearby was looking at Yuan Wanru's dress with envy.
Yuan Wanru smiled: "The princess has good eyesight."
The casual greetings were not a problem for Yuan Wanru, and she soon got to know everyone around her.
The Second Prince's wife arrived late.
When the Third Prince's wife saw the Second Prince's wife, she asked with concern, "There is a dark spot under the Emperor's eyes. What happened?"
The Second Prince's wife forced a smile and said, "You are wrong. I look fine."
She clearly covered it up with powder before she went out, but the Third Prince's wife insisted on revealing it.
Everyone thought that the Second Prince's wife was sad because of Liang Zhi's matter.
Yuan Wanru suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, it seems that the prince's wife knows about the second prince's affairs."
This one sentence caused everyone's eyes to fall on her.
The Second Prince's wife felt a tightness in her heart. There was something really wrong with the Second Prince lately. Every day he either went to Concubine Liao's room or stayed in his own bedroom. He had never set foot in her room.
They clearly agreed to try their best to have a legitimate son, so why did he suddenly change his mind?
Still doting on Liao so much?
She had a quarrel with him last night, but didn't get anything out of him.
However, Yuan Wanru was in an enemy position towards them, and when the Second Prince's wife heard her mention the Second Prince, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Haha, what can happen to the Second Prince? Yuanshi, you are a lady in the boudoir, how can you talk about other men?"
"Besides, the Second Prince is the son and grandson of the emperor. We should not discuss this in private."
"Don't treat this place as your Lu Mansion."
As she spoke, the Second Prince's wife began to act in a very arrogant manner.
Yuan Wanru shook her head and said, "I meant well and wanted to remind the Second Prince's wife to pay attention to his health. Since you don't appreciate it, I won't say anything."
Everyone was on edge because of her, but no one dared to ask further questions.
The Third Prince's wife was not afraid. She said with concern, "From the tone of Mrs. Lu, could it be that something is wrong with my second brother's health?"
"Sister-in-law, physical matters cannot be taken lightly. You should listen to what Madam Lu has to say."
The Second Prince's wife forced a smile and was about to refuse, but Yuan Wanru did not give her the chance.
"Isn't it that something serious happened to the Second Prince? I dare not say such nonsense."
"Second Prince Consort, do you know that the Second Prince secretly found a number of doctors to treat him a while ago?"
The Second Prince’s wife really didn’t know that such a thing existed.
She knew that she shouldn't believe Yuan Wanru.
However, during this period of time, the Second Prince did seem a little unwell. Could it be that there was something wrong with his health?
The Third Prince's wife was even more anxious than she was. "How could this happen? Why didn't Second Prince find a royal doctor?"
"Could it be that even the imperial physician can't cure it?"
"Is it really that serious?"
"Second sister-in-law, what should we do?"
This series of questions made the Second Prince's wife's mind completely confused.
Yuan Wanru took the opportunity to say, "I'm afraid the Second Prince doesn't want the imperial physician to know about this."
"After all, I heard that the Second Prince was not good at sex and was powerless, so he asked a civilian doctor to treat him. I heard that the doctor who was invited that day was helpless."
After saying this, she looked at the Second Prince's wife with a very sympathetic look.
The Second Prince's wife immediately came to her senses and loudly rebuked: "How dare you, Yuan Wanru, say such a thing? Do you have any sense of shame?"
"How dare you slander the Second Prince? How audacious! Does the Lu family still have any respect for the inferior?"
"I……"
Yuan Wanru immediately burst into tears: "Princess Three, you have to make the decision for me!"
"I only said these words because you asked me to."
"Besides, what I said was what the doctor who treated the Second Prince said that day. I didn't make it up. If the Second Prince's wife doesn't believe it, you can call the doctor here now and we can confront each other."
"I swear, I have no intention of belittling or slandering the Second Prince. I am just telling the truth. I don't want you to be kept in the dark and delay the Second Prince's health."
"I just mean well, you scare me like this."
"Third Prince's Consort, I'm going back now. I don't dare to stay any longer. I'm afraid the Second Prince's Consort will eat me later."
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect to hear such explosive gossip.
The key is, they don’t want to hear such secrets!
But it cannot be denied that there was an exclamation mark in everyone's heart: the second prince, who is so young, is actually impotent. How tragic!
At the same time, everyone looked at the Second Prince's wife with sympathy.
The second prince's wife, who is so young, is going to be a widow, which is very miserable!
Having heard enough gossip, no one dared to plead for Yuan Wanru. After all, no one wanted to be involved in such gossip.
The Third Prince's wife immediately pulled Yuan Wanru, who was about to leave, and said, "Madam, please stay. You are a guest in our house, and the banquet hasn't even started yet. How can you leave?"
"You are so sure, I think it's not groundless, but I just can't think of it..."
She turned around to look at the Second Prince's wife, whose face was livid and who was almost fainting from anger, and gently advised her, "Sister-in-law, it is the worst thing to avoid seeing a doctor when you are ill. You don't have a son yet, and this is a big deal. You can't delay it, so you need to make plans early."
"As for Madam Lu, she is outspoken. Please don't bother with her. You scared her to tears."
The Second Prince's wife wished she could scratch Yuan Wanru's soft and weak face.
After dealing with her in secret so many times, how could she not know that Yuan Wanru was a ruthless character?
She didn't dare to tell Yuan Wanru whether her words were true or false. She couldn't stay in this place anymore.
"Humph, since you insist on protecting her, then I'm leaving!"
"If I hear any rumors outside, don't blame us for being ruthless."
The Second Prince's wife gave everyone a threatening look and hurried away.
She was in a state of confusion and had to see the Second Prince immediately to ask him whether what Yuan Wanru said was true.
