Chapter 126 Misunderstanding
The Grand Princess's meaning was obvious.
Besides surveillance, they could also use torture whenever Jiang Wanru disobeyed.
Poisoning her wasn't enough; they also tortured her.
Calling her the master is an understatement; it's more accurate to say that the four people who came with her were her masters.
Pei Anqing forcefully dragged the maid into the room, lifted her up, and placed her on the table.
The maidservant was very cooperative.
Jiang Wanru sat on the wedding bed in her own bridal chamber, watching helplessly as the man she was marrying whispered sweet nothings to her maid.
Finally, the maid frowned slightly and called out in a sweet, delicate voice.
He even looked at Jiang Wanru with a defiant gaze.
Jiang Wanru knelt on the bed, gripping the wedding quilt tightly with both hands, clenching her teeth to keep her tears from falling.
In the other courtyard.
Jiang Wan Ning snorted coldly in her heart after hearing Hai Tang's reply.
What a cycle of life!
In her past life, Jiang Wanru had watched this adulterous couple illicitly in front of her, and they had looked at her with the same provocative gaze.
Now, let her have a taste too, on her wedding night.
"Keep a close eye on those maids and servants who came with the dowry."
The fact that she dares to be so open and uninhibited suggests that this maid is no ordinary person.
"yes."
"Is there anything else?" Jiang Wan Ning asked, looking at Hai Tang's hesitant expression.
"No..." Haitang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, should we try to get rid of Wu Xinrui?"
Jiang Wan Ning looked up at Hai Tang. This girl was always the type to leave no room for trouble once her master gave her instructions.
Since you've been able to say it today, you must know something.
Haitang: "That day, I saw Miss Wu... she... she was dressed in thin clothes and came out of the prince's study."
"I only saw it from afar, but a few days later I saw Miss Wu carrying snacks and getting closer to the prince."
"And it always happens when you're not around."
"What did the Prince say?" Jiang Wan Ning asked calmly, taking a sip of tea.
"This servant did not step forward, not knowing what the prince would say, but the prince's study is not for anyone other than you, me and Shaoyao."
"Miss Wu deliberately pulled up her collar before coming out. What were they doing inside, and how did they tidy their clothes?"
"Miss...I...this servant..."
"Are you saying that if a pretty and innocent-looking woman hangs around the prince all day long, not to mention the prince, any man would lose control?"
Haitang nodded firmly, "That's exactly what I meant."
"Although I am not married, I have seen plenty of such things in the inner quarters. Your Highness must not leave any more hidden dangers, just like Jiang Wanru back then."
Jiang Wan Ning smiled gently, "I know about this."
"Since she wants to stay in the Prince's mansion, I naturally won't object; it's just a matter of giving her a status."
"Your Highness, you still want to give her an identity?" Haitang exclaimed in shock. "How could you do this... this..."
Other women keep a close watch on their men, so why is the princess so generous?
"If Your Highness wants it, even if Wu Xinrui isn't available, someone else will. I can't control that."
Jiang Wanning said calmly, "However, I gave her an identity, but I didn't say what kind of identity I was going to give her."
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Jiang Wanning whispered a few words to Haitang, and Haitang's eyes lit up when she heard them.
She knew her princess wouldn't be that foolish.
"This servant will go and keep an eye on it right away."
Jiang Wan Ning nodded and smiled, "Go ahead."
As soon as Haitang left, Pei Yanchuan walked in. "What happy news did that girl Haitang have today that made her so happy?"
In the past, Peony always had a silly, innocent smile, while Begonia and Ink Dye were both very serious and methodical.
It was a rare treat to see Haitang skip and hop away today.
Jiang Wan Ning put down her teacup, got up and walked to the bedside. "I'm tired, I'm going to sleep now."
Pei Yanchuan: "..."
"Where does it hurt?" Pei Yanchuan walked to the bedside, reached out to feel Jiang Wan Ning's forehead, and then checked his own; he had no fever.
Pei Yanchuan loosened his belt and was about to get into bed.
I've been so busy these past few days that we haven't been able to consummate our marriage yet, but today is the perfect day.
Jiang Wan Ning turned over, her back to Pei Yan Chuan, and said, "Your Highness, please go to the study and have someone serve you so you can rest."
"It's too hot, the bed is too small, it's too cramped."
Pei Yanchuan paused in his movements, glancing at the large bed that could comfortably sleep four people...
But the person in bed didn't seem to want him to get into bed today.
He could only carry his outer robe and walk out. "Then you should rest well. I'll have Peony and Begonia keep watch over you."
"If there's anything you need, have them come to my study to see me."
Mo Qing, who had just stolen a roast chicken from the kitchen, saw Pei Yanchuan and quickly hid the chicken behind her back.
"Your Highness...
Pei Yanchuan looked up and said, "Mm."
"Didn't Your Highness go to sleep? Is there still something you haven't finished doing?"
"Your Highness, won't the Princess be angry with you like this?"
Pei Yanchuan paused, looked up at Mo Qing, and asked, "Are you saying that if I return late, the Princess will be angry?"
Mo Qing nodded blankly, "That's what they say in the storybooks."
"But a few days ago I returned home even later than today, and she wasn't angry..."
Mo Qing stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "Oh, I understand."
"What do you know?"
"Your Highness, you've been kicked out by the Princess."
Pei Yanchuan's eyes instantly turned cold.
Mo Qing skillfully jumped back a large step to dodge Pei Yanchuan's attack.
Pei Yanchuan walked towards the study with a dark expression.
"Come here!"
Mo Qing had just brought the roast chicken to his mouth when he heard the sound and hurriedly hid it, then walked over hesitantly.
"Your Highness..." Could it be that he's going to confiscate his roast chicken?
He promised Peony Girl that he would save half for her.
"Um... what kind of storybooks do you usually read? Send them to me."
"Now, immediately."
......
Early the next morning.
Jiang Wanru, with red and swollen eyes, stood early in the front hall, waiting for Jiang Wanning and Pei Yanchuan to arrive.
It was another proper greeting and tea ceremony.
Jiang Wan Ning also generously rewarded him with a bracelet of decent quality.
It's just not as good as the ones worn on the wrists of Begonia and Peony.
Haitang deliberately showed off her wrist adorned with a bracelet, handing over the bracelet that Jiang Wanning had given to Jiang Wanru.
So that Jiang Wanru can see more clearly.
Jiang Wanru gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you, Mother."
Jiang Wan Ning waved her hand, "Aunt Liu is still just an aunt, and what she taught you was all unseemly."
"Now that you've married into the Langya Prince's Mansion, I, as the Princess Consort, will certainly not let you disgrace the manor."
"From now on, let's start with the proper way of standing up and greeting each morning."
"Every evening after dinner, you need to go to the place I designate to clean."
Seeing that Jiang Wanru did not respond, Jiang Wanning said, "What? Do you have a problem with that?"
"I dare not," Jiang Wanru said.
Now that she is both a princess and his mother-in-law, and is a generation older than him, he naturally has to do whatever she says.
Jiang Wan Ning nodded. "It's good that you understand."
