Although her background was somewhat troubled, when you think about it carefully, she is the daughter of a prefect from a famous family in Lucheng. She has a good background and is a perfect match for Prince Xian!
What’s more, the Liu family had already been vindicated, it was just a disaster caused by the emperor’s wrong judgment!
Who would like to talk about the shameful past?
Never thought.
The sensation in the capital also shocked Yuan Ruiyu, who was in Ren's mansion!
The coercion that the Ren family had inflicted on her over the past six months had already made Yuan Ruiyu hate them beyond recognition!
Especially Madam Ren, who always asked her to come to visit him morning and evening, deliberately making things difficult for her!
Yuan Ruiyu was exhausted physically and mentally, but she had no choice but to submit to others!
Recently, the people in the Ren Mansion have become even more aggressive in bullying Yuan Ruiyu.
Before, it was because of Yuan Xiao’s pleading that he did a favor to the Ren family and asked them to take Yuan Ruiyu in. Now that Yuan Xiao has passed away and there is no longer any protection, who really cares about Yuan Ruiyu?
What's more, Prince Xian is now approaching the capital, which has made Master and Madam Ren of the Ren Mansion extremely panicked!
I get angry just thinking about taking in this useless woman!
But after the emperor issued the decree and the news of opening the city gates came out, Master Ren was completely panicked!
I have to re-examine Yuan Ruiyu's identity.
Although Yuan Ruiyu was not rescued by Princess Xian at the beginning, she is still Princess Xian's half-sister!
Mr. Ren was at the end of the court and did not take sides with any faction. He had long been regarded as a thorn in the eyes of Lord Li and others sent by the emperor!
If you want to protect yourself, you have no choice but to use Yuan Ruiyu!
I thought the emperor would not waver, but I never expected that the imperial edict would really come down.
Yuan Ruiyu almost collapsed because of the bullying she had suffered earlier and the inexplicable punishment she had received recently!
Everything changed drastically after the imperial edict came down!
Yuan Ruiyu lived in a deep courtyard, kneeling at the foot of the courtyard steps, watching the sun setting in the west. The slightly hot sunlight of late autumn burned her back, and then climbed to another place by the wall, leaving her thin body exposed to the cold wind!
She couldn't help sneezing and shuddering.
Even the two maids next to her were not allowed to come forward to serve, and could only stand and watch silently. Madam Ren had reminded her that Yuan should be punished for her mistakes!
The maids cannot disobey Madam Ren's arrangements.
After all, the ones who are in charge of the Ren Mansion are still Master Ren and Madam Ren!
Yuan Ruiyu is just the concubine of the Third Young Master, a money-losing commodity that is not even presentable!
Yuan Ruiyu was trembling and about to break apart.
The maid muttered,
"How long do we have to kneel like this?"
"Almost, another half hour."
"Madam is so cruel. This arrangement is really tiring for us."
"Shh! Are you going to shut up? Talking about my wife behind her back, be careful you get your mouth smashed!"
"Yes, yes, it's just that I'm so sore from standing for so long!"
“…”
The two maids spoke in a low voice, and everything fell into Yuan Ruiyu's ears.
She was about to faint, but when she heard about herself, she immediately became interested!
After hearing that it was these two lowly slaves who were criticizing her again, Yuan Ruiyu was so angry that she was exhausted and said weakly,
"How dare you! I am just a young master after all. How can I tolerate your nonsense?"
The maid said, "Oh! After all this time, you still think you are the Second Young Lady!"
"Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror? You have nothing now. You are just a toy for our Third Young Master!"
"Now even the Third Young Master is too lazy to touch you, what else do you have?"
“…”
Even the maids could mock and ridicule Yuan Ruiyu.
It can be seen that this situation is extremely difficult.
Yuan Ruiyu gritted her teeth, a mouthful of blood rushed into her nose, but she endured it!
Seeing that Yuan Ruiyu didn't dare to say anything, the maids got excited and said,
"The two sisters are so different. You used to be so dazzling, but now you are such a mess!"
"Princess Xian, you are so noble!"
"Have you heard? Prince Xian is forcing his way to the palace and has arrived outside the capital!"
"Yes! I heard that the master was so anxious that he didn't know who to speak up for. Before the fighting even started, the enemy was already at the gates."
"That's right! Her elder sister will be the queen in the future! And she is just a lowly girl!"
After saying this, Yuan Ruiyu could no longer bear it. Her legs and feet felt numb and she growled.
"Shut up!"
The maidservant said, "Are you angry? If you were angry, you should have asked your concubine sister to rescue you from the Guo Mansion back then."
"That's right! If I really cared about you, why would I let you live in our Ren Mansion?"
"That's right! If the master and his wife didn't think you were still useful and could use their connections to coerce Princess Xian, they wouldn't have kept you so easily!"
"No, no! I heard that it was Master Yuan who went out of his way to ask for a favor!"
"What? Is that so?"
"The servants in the mansion said that it seems that a long time ago, our master and Lord Yuan took the imperial examination together, and Lord Yuan helped our master. It's a favor he owed us."
"No wonder our master is willing to take this bastard in. He's just repaying a favor!"
“That’s right!”
"..." As soon as the words came out, Yuan Ruiyu completely collapsed!
It turns out that the person who was coercing me was the one who was rescued by my own father!
It’s not like the Ren family took them in out of kindness at all!
Yuan Ruiyu was kept in the dark, and now there is nothing she can do. The matter has been done and everyone knows about it!
"You guys...Puff!"
Yuan Ruiyu was so angry that she vomited blood and fainted before she could make it to the last hour.
When she woke up, the room was full of people.
The doctor was sitting right in front of her, taking her pulse. Mrs. Ren looked at him anxiously and said,
"Doctor, how is she? Hey, she's awake now."
So when she saw Yuan Ruiyu's eyelids trembling and about to open, Mrs. Ren spoke.
Yuan Ruiyu's eyelids drooped as she casually glanced around the room, feeling very confused.
Master Lian Ren was watching from the side, and Ren Zhaoxi was sitting on a small stool staring intently. The eldest and second young masters were also in the room.
The servants and maids were all in the room, watching anxiously.
Yuan Ruiyu was very scared. What were they here for?
The doctor said, "Madam, she is just suffering from a heart attack due to anxiety and kneeling for too long, so she is feeling unwell."
"I'll prescribe some medicine and let her rest for a while."
Mrs. Ren smiled and said, "That's great! It's good that everything is fine. It's good that everything is fine. Doctor, take care. Guizi, give the reward silver to the doctor and see him off."
Madam Ren ordered her maid to send the doctor out.
Only people from the Ren Mansion were left in the room.
Yuan Ruiyu nervously moved towards the couch and asked in panic, "What are you going to do?"
Mrs. Ren smiled and reached out to pull Yuan Ruiyu's dodging hand away, saying,
"Congratulations! His Majesty has ordered the city gates to be opened, allowing Prince Xian to enter."
Yuan Ruiyu was startled and stunned for a moment, "What does this have to do with me?"
Ren Zhaoxi said, "Silly! Aren't you Princess Xian's sister?"
Mr. Ren also said,
"We are thinking that Princess Xian will become the queen, and you will be extraordinary in the future."
Hearing these words, Yuan Ruiyu felt both happy and sad!
