Chapter 170 Pei Yanchuan is even poorer than them
Wu Xinrui was so frightened that she dared not mention the matter of making a decision for herself again. She hurriedly got up, lifted her skirt, and ran towards her room.
She originally thought that by knowing how to cure Pei Yanchuan's mother, she could get Pei Yanchuan to stand up for her time and time again.
But he never expected that Pei Yanchuan would be such a ruthless person.
"Hey, don't run away, I haven't finished talking yet."
Mo Qing waved his hand and muttered to himself, "So easily frightened, where did you get the courage to ask the prince to stand up for you?"
'Thump!'
Suddenly a sound rang out, and Mo Qing looked up to see Wu Xinrui had fallen in the garden because she had run too fast.
Ink blue...
......
"Have Pei Yanchuan and Jiang Wanning really broken up?"
At the Grand Princess's residence, Jiang Wanru knelt on the ground and whispered, "This servant has tested them several times these past few days, and they have indeed separated."
"It seems Pei Yanchuan is unwilling, but I know Jiang Wanning's personality. She immediately chose to give up after learning about my relationship with Pei Anqing."
"Now that she knows Pei Yanchuan has another woman in his heart, she is naturally unwilling."
Jiang Wanru spoke with great certainty, but she couldn't be sure about Jiang Wanning's past personality.
Maybe they'll take pity on Wu Xinrui and forgive her.
But now, Jiang Wanru thinks that Jiang Wanning is a truly vicious person.
She is ruthless not only to others, but also to herself.
Or perhaps, she only loves herself and money.
During this period, she noticed that Jiang Wan Ning occasionally seemed somewhat disappointed when everyone except Zhou Shi and Shen Ruzhi came.
At other times, Jiang Wan Ning acted as if nothing had happened.
"I have a feeling that something is amiss about this matter. Pei Yanchuan doesn't seem like that kind of person."
The Grand Princess wondered, "When His Majesty summons Pei Yanchuan to the palace to bestow rewards, it would be best to find a way to bring Jiang Wanning into the palace as well."
"Only when they all enter the palace can we use the pretext of purging the court of corrupt officials to launch a full-scale attack."
Jiang Wanru lowered her head. "Your Highness, rest assured, this servant has a good idea."
"If Jiang Wan Ning doesn't want to enter the palace with Pei Yan Chuan, then let her enter the palace a few days earlier."
"Didn't she accompany the Empress for a period of time before going to the frontier?"
The Grand Princess narrowed her eyes. "You mean... trying to win over the Empress?"
"yes."
"The Empress always listens to His Majesty, so this matter is not easy to handle."
"But the Empress and we share a common enemy, which is Jiang Wan Ning."
Jiang Wanru had heard from the Grand Princess that a spy from the inner palace reported that the Emperor was interested in Jiang Wanning, and the Empress was in love with the Emperor.
If Jiang Wan Ning were just a pretty face, the Empress would naturally have no worries.
But Jiang Wan Ning not only has good looks, but also money and brains.
The empress couldn't help but fear such a person.
After some thought, the Grand Princess said, "This time, we will proceed as you suggested. I will find a way to have the Empress summon Jiang Wan Ning to the palace."
“There’s one more thing.” The Grand Princess turned her head and scratched her hair. “Now that Wu Xinrui has returned, Jiang Wan Ning will definitely investigate the Zhou family’s poisoning again.”
"Your Highness, rest assured," Jiang Wanru said confidently. "The maidservant by my side is already dead. Even if Wu Xinrui wants to implicate me, it's impossible for her."
The Grand Princess snorted coldly, "Everyone knows the truth about this."
"What I mean is that you should get rid of Wu Xinrui as soon as possible. Keeping someone like that around will only cause trouble in the end."
Jiang Wanru didn't take it seriously, but she did obey on the surface.
"I don't know Wu Xinrui, but I think I know a little about that brat Pei Yanchuan."
"There must be another reason why he can protect Wu Xinrui. Go and investigate it thoroughly."
The Grand Princess felt something was amiss. The first thing these two did upon returning was not to go to the palace to receive their reward, nor to see their relatives.
Even to this day, Pei Yanchuan has not yet visited the Duchess of Yingguo.
This matter is suspicious in many ways.
"yes."
"Alright, you can go now."
"Is there anything else?" The Grand Princess asked, noticing that Jiang Wanru hadn't moved.
Jiang Wanru bowed her head and kowtowed heavily on the ground. "There is indeed something that I was reluctant to tell Your Highness, but I have no one close to me besides Your Highness."
"Therefore, this servant can only beg Your Highness."
"What is it?" the Grand Princess asked coldly.
"This servant...this servant...would like to borrow some silver from Your Highness."
The Grand Princess nearly choked on her tea and looked at Jiang Wanru in disbelief, "I didn't hear wrong."
"You want to borrow money?"
She had never encountered anything like this before.
Jiang Wanru briefly explained that Jiang Wanning wanted to kick her out.
"This servant also wants to stay in the Prince's mansion to continue monitoring them."
The Grand Princess put down her teacup, pinched a small handful of fish food and gently sprinkled it into the fish tank, then turned to look at Jiang Wanru, "This Pei Anqing."
"He really is a hopeless case."
"I once thought of winning him over."
"I really don't know why you and Jiang Wan Ning would have fallen for him in the first place, and why things have turned out like this because of someone like him."
"If you had curried favor with Jiang Wan Ning back then, you wouldn't be in such a bad situation now."
"After all, it seems that Jiang Wanru is quite willing to give up that wild girl from the Shen family."
Jiang Wanru heard the sarcasm in the Grand Princess's voice.
He kept his head down and said, "Your Highness is right."
Jiang Wanru was indeed very good to her back then; she had everything that Shen Ruzhi had.
But her choice was clearly to have more, so how did it inexplicably turn out like this?
The Grand Princess was in a good mood as she watched Jiang Wanru become more and more obedient.
She instructed the male servant beside her, "Go and get some silver for her."
Having received his instructions, the male concubine bowed and withdrew.
He soon produced several silver notes.
Jiang Wanru took the silver note with both hands, and when she looked at the denomination, she was overjoyed, but her heart immediately sank.
Now that Jiang Wan Ning has taken away all the servants from Wen Zhu Yuan, she not only has to pay rent herself.
We also need to hire a few more servants.
Pei Anqing has lost his status as the heir apparent, and it is now even more impossible for him to receive the monthly allowance as Pei Yanchuan's adopted son.
Because Pei Yanchuan was even poorer than them.
She even had to pay out of her own pocket to prepare breakfast for Pei Yanchuan every day.
It's not over yet; she and Pei Anqing aren't capable of going head-to-head with Pei Yanchuan.
Jiang Wanru was furious when she thought about all this. Ever since the two of them had started arguing, Pei Yanchuan had taken over the best room in Wenzhu Courtyard.
Not only that,
They also arranged for Wu Xinrui to be placed in the room between her and Pei Anqing's houses.
Although she doesn't have much affection for Pei Anqing now, it doesn't mean she can tolerate this kind of humiliation.
"What? You think it's not enough?" the Grand Princess said, looking at Jiang Wanru's gloomy face.
Jiang Wanru immediately replied, "This servant wouldn't dare, thank you Your Highness."
"Get lost."
