"Tsk." Ruan Xinchen looked outside and then lowered his voice and asked, "Caiyu, what did you tell them?"

"I was captured by two strangers, and it was Master 괗 who rescued me. I told Master 괗 that you were kidnapped, along with your carriage."

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

Oops.

She slapped her thigh.

Only then did I remember that the carriage belonged to Prince Gong's Mansion.

Sure enough, his brain was confused. He had been thinking of asking Chu Xuanling to borrow a carriage from Chu Li, but he didn't remember that the carriage he took when he went there originally belonged to Prince Gong's Mansion.

"And then?"

"Then Master 괗 asked me not to say anything, saying that the prince took you out to play."

Ruan Xinchen breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect Chu Xuanling to be so reliable at the critical moment.

"Then do as he says, and don't let anything slip."

"Okay, then who kidnapped you?"

"It was the War King who had something to tell me. There was no hijacking."

"War King?"

Ruan Xinchen nodded, "Caiyu, don't ask anymore. There are some things I can't tell you. It's not because I'm on guard against you, but because knowing them won't do you any good."

"Okay, I hope Sister Xiao is okay. I won't ask any more questions."

Chu Xuanling didn't come over today, and Chu Xuanche didn't come back the next night either. I don't know what he did.

It was taboo in the palace to inquire about the whereabouts of the two young masters, so she didn't feel comfortable asking, and even if she did, she couldn't.

On the second day, someone suddenly came to the front yard, saying that Princess Zhan came to visit the young lady with gifts.

Ruan Xinchen was surprised.

Ruan Yihe came to see me?

I don't know what she is up to.

"I'm sick and can't go out. Please invite her in."

"Yes, Madam."

Every time she met Ruan Yihe, they would have a fight. After all, it was a family embarrassment, so she could just solve it herself behind closed doors.

Soon Ruan Yihe came with something in her hand, and threw it on the table angrily.

She understood Cuiyuan's broken rules, and she had hated these broken rules all her life.

Her maid couldn't come in, so she had to carry things herself, which was really annoying.

"Ruan Xinchen, I'm looking at you. Tell me, how did you seduce the King of War?"

Ruan Xinchen glanced at the expensive supplements on the table.

She sneered, "You won't come to see me, did the War King ask you to come?"

Ruan Yihe was so angry that she stood up and said, "You bastard, you've been haunting me for two lifetimes..."

As she spoke, she was about to start.

Caiyu, who was standing beside her, jumped up and pushed her away.

She was knocked to the ground unexpectedly, grimacing in pain.

Ruan Xinchen leaned weakly on the pillow and looked at her with a sneer, "You came in alone and dared to attack?"

"Okay, okay, a servant dares to hit me?" She stared at Caiyu and roared like a madman, "Bitch, I will make you live a life worse than death."

Caiyu put her hands on her hips and looked at her, not afraid at all.

Ruan Xinchen laughed, "I asked her to do it, what's the point of getting angry at a maid?"

"You..." Ruan Yihe said angrily, "You are so shameless. You are already married to Prince Gong's mansion, but you still seduce Prince Zhan. Aren't you afraid that I will tell Prince Gong and Princess Gong about your promiscuous behavior?"

"Go ahead and tell me rumors about me and the War King. I want to see who will die, you or me."

"Rumors? Ha..." She was so angry that she swept the things on the table to the ground with her hand and stepped on them a few times.

"As soon as he got home, he called me over and said you were sick and asked me to bring these things to see you. You told me it was a rumor? How did he know you were sick?"

"I'm sorry, I fainted last night, and when I woke up I was in the War King's villa with the Crown Prince. You'll have to ask the War King and the Crown Prince about what happened."

Ruan Yihe: “…”

"Were you in the War King's villa with the prince yesterday?"

Ruan Xinchen remained silent.

Caiyu next to her said, "My sister went out with the prince yesterday and got sick afterwards."

Um?

Ruan Yihe looked at her suspiciously.

I thought, could it be that I misunderstood?

Since she appeared in the prince's villa with Chu Xuanche yesterday, it must have been an accidental encounter.

She was ill, so she borrowed the prince's villa for a while.

Thinking of this possibility, Ruan Yihe's face looked better.

Then he said harshly, "Ruan Xinchen, remember this, I am the Princess of Zhan. The Zhan King is not someone you can dream of. With your status, marrying the prince is beyond your reach. Don't be ignorant of what is good for you."

After saying that, he snorted coldly and left angrily.

Only after she left did Caiyu look at the things on the ground.

She felt sorry for the good things. "These are such good things, Sister Xiao. I have never seen ginseng this big. Really, it's such a waste."

It's pitiful. This girl would drool over a pig's trotter. Where has she ever seen anything good?

She picked it up and was about to wipe away the footprints with her sleeve when Ruan Xinchen stopped her.

"Don't move."

Caiyu turned and looked at Ruan Xinchen.

Ruan Xinchen said, "Pick it up carefully and don't get rid of the shoe prints. You can return the things to Prince Zhan's mansion tomorrow."

Caiyu understood instantly.

She brought a basket and picked up the shoes carefully for fear of rubbing off the beautiful patterns on the shoe prints.

On the next day, at Ruan Xinchen's request, he took the gift to Prince Zhan's mansion and asked to see Ling Lie, and he wanted to hand the gift to Ling Lie in person.

Chu Li was recuperating from her injuries, and it was obviously unrealistic for a maid to ask to see Chu Li, as she would be driven away by the doorman or reported to the princess.

So Ruan Xinchen asked Caiyu to go and hand the things to Ling Lie personally.

Handing it over to Ling Lie is equivalent to handing it over to Chu Li.

The thing was safely in Chu Li's hand, leaving behind the beautiful shoe prints on it.

Chu Li's veins were throbbing as he watched.

"Who sent it?"

"Your Highness, she said she was Sister 괗께's maid Caiyu."

"Caiyu?"

"yes."

He knew that it was Ruan Xinchen's personal maid.

Then sending the things back was Ruan Xinchen's intention.

"What did she say?"

"She said her sister would not tolerate insults and would not eat food with shoe marks on it."

Ling Lie responded with a throbbing heart, and then looked at Chu Li with a throbbing heart.

Looking at the look on his face, he was so frightened that he dared not even breathe.

"Go and call Ruan Yihe."

Ruan Yihe was very happy when she heard from the servants that the prince wanted to see her.

It has been more than a month since she got married. Although the prince is recuperating from an injury and cannot spend the wedding night with her, he is still too cold.

In her opinion, even if they cannot spend the wedding night together, they should still eat together often, chat, and have the beauty of her life accompany them all the time.

She never thought that she couldn't even enter the yard where Chu Li lived. It was heavily guarded by guards, as if to prevent thieves.

At first she was very dissatisfied and made a big fuss.

It was Ling Lie, the guard beside him, who came to comfort her and told her that the prince was seriously injured this time and she was afraid that someone wanted to kill him.

The heavy guard was the intention of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. It would be fine after the prince recovered from his injuries, and she was asked to wait patiently.

Otherwise, how could she tolerate the life of being married and not being able to see people?

Therefore, every time Chu Li wanted to see her, she would dress up carefully and try her best to leave a good impression on him with the few opportunities they had.
