Chapter 28 Sisters-in-law
"How can this princess marry him?" The third princess' eyes were red. She knew that it was Xie Yun who didn't want her, but she couldn't admit it.
"If you can't, then don't be so sentimental. He's already engaged. You should think about who to marry."
In her previous life, she waited foolishly, and in the end, she randomly chose one. The third prince consort had a mistress outside, and she was so angry that she cried every day.
The noble lady behind the flowers slowly loosened her hand. This woman was a good person. "Who is she?"
The maid beside her was given to her by the Shangshu's wife to help her get familiar with the rules of the capital and recognize people.
She lowered her body, her forehead already sweating, "My dear lady, yes, I am the Princess Yongjia of the Princess's Mansion, the younger brother of Prince Xie, and the fiancée of Xie Yunzhao."
The young lady doesn't know yet that Princess Yongjia's marriage has changed from Xie Yunzheng to Xie Yunzhao. Should I tell her?
Li Wan'er nodded in satisfaction. This princess was worthy of being her sister-in-law. "She is quite good. She is not like other people who only know how to flatter."
"Yes," the old woman said ashamedly. Princess Yongjia didn't need to flatter anyone.
"I'm not in a hurry yet," the third princess was stubborn and angry. Why did she say these words? If it were someone else, she would have punished them long ago.
"Sister Yongjia is getting married soon, how can you be free?"
"Of course I have to come to the polo match organized by Brother Yun Zhao." Chen Shurong said, glancing at the fourth princess, not ignoring the flash of disappointment in her eyes.
"Was it organized by Second Young Master Xie? The invitation was addressed to the Duke of Lu's Mansion, and we thought..."
Shen Shurong understood, no wonder so many butterflies fluttered over, and the two of them even brought the prince, thinking that it was Xie Yun who was competing for it.
“Sister Yongjia, let’s go play over there.” The Third Princess wanted to avoid her and pulled the Fourth Princess away. As a result, the noble ladies behind them surrounded Shen Shurong, “Princess, you are wearing convenient clothes today, do you want to go on stage too?”
"No, it's just for the occasion."
The third princess stamped her feet in anger, "Why don't you come over?"
The ladies looked at Chen Shurong awkwardly.
"Go and protect the two princesses."
The noble ladies had all left, and Chen Shurong was just about to go back to the carriage to change her clothes when she saw a pretty woman coming over. She was not like the women in Beijing who wore gaudy clothes and heavy makeup, but was fresh and elegant, making people feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze.
Shen Shurong had never seen her before, so she waited for people to greet her, after all, no one didn't recognize her.
When the person came closer, he just bowed slightly and said, "Greetings to Princess Yongjia!"
Shen Shurong frowned. She was not polite and did not introduce her family. "I wonder which family this lady is from?"
"I am Li Wan'er, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel. I just returned to the capital the day before yesterday. From now on, we will live together in the Duke's Mansion and can chat together often."
Shen Shurong frowned and stared at the old woman behind her. Didn’t she know that she was once Xie Yunzheng’s fiancée?
Although it is not written on paper, those who understand will understand.
Seeing the ugly face of the old woman, Chen Shurong knew that she had not yet told him, and she did not plan to talk more. After all, when Li Wan'er knew about it, she would regret it so much that she had just taken the initiative to greet him.
Even if we lived together in the Duke's Mansion, I'm sure she wouldn't talk to me much.
"This princess is feeling a little unwell and needs to go back to the carriage to change clothes. Sorry, I have to excuse myself."
Li Wan'er was stunned. Is the princess so powerful?
She will be her sister-in-law in the future, and she will be in charge of the household affairs. There is no need to curry favor with her, as she is a princess after all.
But you should also be more polite and try to have harmonious relations with the sisters-in-law in the future, right?
Li Wan'er stopped smiling and took a step back, "Princess, take care."
Chen Shurong just nodded slightly and left.
Li Wan'er frowned. She didn't ask her for anything, so if she didn't want to get along with her, then forget it.
While taking a walk, he met a few noble ladies again. When he heard the words "Princess Yongjia" in their conversations, he did not go up to greet them and just pretended to appreciate the flowers.
"You said, Prince Xie's fiancée is in Beijing, will he invite her today?"
"I think so, but I saw Princess Yongjia's carriage. If Princess Yongjia saw it, she would be sad."
"Yes, a good marriage, but the couple changed just like that."
Li Wan'er's expression changed. Why was Princess Yongjia sad?
Looking at the old woman again, she was already shaking like a sieve. He pinched her wrist and walked to a hidden place, then slapped her in the face, "What is the relationship between Princess Yongjia and Master Xie? Tell me!"
The personal maid was frightened and hurriedly pulled her hand, saying that this was the maid given by the lady.
The old woman knelt on the ground, "Little Miss, Princess Yongjia was originally engaged to the Duke of Lu. Everyone thought she would marry Prince Xie, but she accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by Second Young Master Xie. Only then did we know that it was Second Young Master Xie who was engaged to the princess."
"You believe this? It's obvious that she and Master Xie were forced to separate!"
"I said she just ignored me. Isn't it obvious that she can't let go of Master Xie and hates me?"
"Miss, don't think so. The princess has already agreed, so naturally..."
Snap——
"You didn't tell me in time, and you even made excuses for her. Whose slave are you?"
Li Wan'er was very angry. Her parents only said how good Master Xie was, but never mentioned that he was engaged. "So, Master Xie chose me as a second choice, right?"
The old woman didn't dare to reply, but she had to say, "Of course not. Young Miss is as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water. Master Xie just hasn't seen you before. If he had, his heart would definitely not have room for anyone else."
"Do you think I will believe you? Go home, I want to break off the engagement!" Li Wan'er thought she was pretty, and didn't wear heavy makeup like the noble ladies in the capital, but when she saw Princess Yongjia just now, she liked her not only because of her character, but also because she was shocked by her beauty. She felt that she could not compare to her.
Moreover, they both lived in the capital since childhood, so they were naturally more familiar with each other than she was. They had been engaged for many years. How could she compare to the position of Princess Yongjia in Prince Xie's heart?
"Miss, what nonsense are you talking about?" The old woman got up and chased after her, but it cost her her life!
Li Wan'er shook off her hand, angry that she didn't tell her the truth in time.
She is not a jealous woman who competes for men's favor. She is eager to marry her husband even though she knows that he has someone else in his heart. Do you think she is stupid?
As she was walking angrily, a horse suddenly stopped in front of her and raised its front hooves. Li Wan'er was frightened and subconsciously raised her hand to block it.
“Oh—”
"Who are you? You're showing up like a daredevil!" A man dressed as a guard stepped forward.
The old woman stepped forward in a hurry and said, "I'm sorry for offending Master Xie. My young lady is the daughter of Minister Li, Li Wan'er."
The man on the horse stared at her, Li Wan'er?
Li Wan'er put down her hand and looked up at the man on horseback.
I was stunned at the sight of her. She had beautiful eyebrows, noble temperament, a pair of empty and calm eyes, and a look of disdain, dignity and solemnity.
By the way, the old woman just said, thank you, Master...
Is he Xie Yunzheng?
Li Wan'er came back to her senses, took a step back, and bowed: "Li Wan'er greets the prince."
Looking at the woman with whom he was about to spend his life, Xie Yunzheng had no expression and was calm inside, but he also knew the etiquette and dismounted.
"Hello, Miss Li," he looked at the direction she was going, "Are you going back home?"
Li Wan'er pursed her lips and shook her head, "No, I just went back to the carriage to get the handkerchief."
