Chapter 168 Wandering the World
With red eyes and an angry tone, Shen Ruzhi asked, "Did he really find a woman?"
"You really got together with that guy, Wu something?"
As Shen Ruzhi said this, she rolled up her sleeves, "Don't worry, if that's really the case, I will definitely get justice for you."
"I'm going to find him right now and give him a good beating."
As Shen Ruzhi spoke, she walked towards the direction of Wenzhu Courtyard.
“Zhizhi, that’s the Prince of Langya,” Jiang Wanning quickly reminded him, “a person second only to the emperor.”
Shen Ruzhi's legs went weak, but she stubbornly retorted, "So what? Does that mean the Prince of Langya can start something and then abandon it? Does that mean he can do such a shameless thing?"
"So what if I... I just punched him?"
Jiang Wan Ning sighed silently, "The main problem is that he's highly skilled in martial arts. Are you sure you want to beat him up?"
Shen Ruzhi's legs went even weaker now. If she could start something with Ningning and then abandon her, she certainly wouldn't indulge herself. Although Shen Ruzhi usually liked to cause trouble, she was still discerning.
But Ningning was injured, and she couldn't just do nothing.
"How about I get someone to put a sack over his head and beat him up?" Shen Ruzhi said, turning her head away sullenly.
"This method works well for Pei Anqing, but forget about Pei Yanchuan. He'll just put a sack over your head and throw you out."
"Oh Ningning, what do you suggest we do?" Shen Ruzhi said dejectedly. "We can't beat him no matter how hard we try. I should have just let him suffer to death."
Shen Ruzhi stomped her foot angrily, "Men are all the same."
"Oh, of course, my father and uncle are alright," Shen Ruzhi quickly added against her will.
In her heart, her father and Jiang Wan Ning's father were both bad people; otherwise, how could they have let her aunt and mother suffer so much?
Jiang Wan Ning slowly sipped her tea, "Anyway, Pei Yan Chuan can't beat him up if he wants to. It's easier to beat up Wu Xin Rui than to beat him up."
“How could I not have thought of that!” Shen Ruzhi snapped her fingers. “She seduced me first, so she’s not innocent either.”
"I'm going to beat her up. If Pei Yanchuan dares to cause trouble, I'll unleash the dogs on him!"
As she spoke, Shen Ruzhi got up and ran towards the direction of Wenzhu Courtyard, afraid that someone would stop her from behind.
Zhou and Wang felt something was amiss and followed. Jiang Wan Ning, who hadn't even finished her water, worried that something might happen to the two pregnant women, so she hurriedly put down her teacup and caught up as well.
When Jiang Wanning arrived with the two pregnant women, Shen Ruzhi had already grabbed Wu Xinrui by the hair and dragged her into the courtyard.
He threw the person to the ground, straddled him, and started beating him.
Shen Ruzhi rarely hits people in the face; she usually twists the soft flesh around their waist. But today, she went all out and unleashed a barrage of heavy punches on Wu Xinrui's face.
"This...this..." Wang and Zhou looked anxious, but neither of them stepped forward to stop them.
As soon as Jiang Wanru opened her room door, Shen Ruzhi angrily pointed at her and said, "If you want to get beaten up, then come out and watch the show."
Jiang Wanru reluctantly withdrew the step she hadn't yet taken. This Shen Ruzhi was a mad dog; it was best for her to avoid provoking her.
However, given the current situation, it seems that Pei Yanchuan and Jiang Wanning are not faking it.
There's going to be a good show today.
Wu Xinrui grew up in the village and was stronger than the women from the wealthy and powerful family who were raised in seclusion.
Seeing that Shen Ruzhi refused to stop, Wu Xinrui fought back fiercely.
Seeing that Shen Ruzhi was about to lose, Jiang Wanning rushed forward and pulled Shen Ruzhi up to protect her behind her.
He said coldly to Wu Xinrui, "Instead of staying in the house, you have to come out looking for a beating."
Wu Xinrui...
"It was clearly her..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Wan Ning pulled Shen Ru Zhi, Zhou Shi, and Wang Shi away from Wen Zhu Yuan.
Back in Jiang Wan Ning's courtyard.
Zhou was anxious, but she also knew that if this was true, her daughter would not be happy either, otherwise she would not have let Zhizhi beat up Wu Xinrui.
Zhou could only restrain her emotions and try her best to remain calm. "Ningning, what exactly is going on between you and the Prince?"
"Although your mother is pregnant, you are still your mother's child. Even if you can hide this for a while, you can't hide it forever."
"Mother will find out sooner or later."
Zhou tried her best to suppress her anger, "Don't worry, if he really did such a thing..."
"Whatever you do, your mother will support you."
Zhou's careful reassurance stemmed from her fear that Jiang Wan Ning might suffer the same fate as she had back then, being trapped by love and manipulated by others.
To isolate oneself from the world.
“Yes, Ningning.” Madam Wang also took Jiang Wanning’s other hand. “Don’t keep anything to yourself.”
"Don't listen to what others say, just be yourself."
“A girl as good as you will surely find someone even better to cherish you in the future,” Wang said sincerely.
She felt that Jiang Wan Ning was like light, no less than any man.
On the contrary, it is truly Pei Yanchuan's good fortune to have Jiang Wanning.
However, since he doesn't cherish this good fortune, we'll just have to give it to someone else.
“My aunt has a distant relative who said he’s going to take the imperial examination this year, but that child isn’t very hardworking.”
"If he passes the imperial examination, your aunt will arrange for him to marry you," Wang reassured him.
In this world, it's not easy for divorced women, even though she has Shen Zhao and her younger brother to support her.
However, she also heard a lot of rumors, but she just pretended not to hear them.
Someone like Jiang Wan Ning, who not only divorced but also divorced her husband, how many people genuinely want to marry her?
Nowadays, the constant stream of suitors coming to the Prince's mansion are only interested in Jiang Wan Ning's status and wealth.
Indeed, very few high-ranking officials from the imperial court actually visited him.
Jiang Wan Ning knew that Wang Shi must have thought this through carefully and discussed it with her mother before saying it.
“Your aunt is only doing this for your own good,” Zhou said. “However, if you don’t want to, I won’t force you.”
"In this life, all you need to do is be yourself peacefully and safely."
"Even if you never marry, your mother will support you. Let outsiders say whatever they want."
"People can say whatever they want; we don't need to care."
Wang nodded in agreement, "Yes, in short, don't do anything rash."
“That’s right,” Shen Ruzhi said. “Fortunately, both my aunt and my mother are pregnant now.”
"When my younger siblings are born, there will be someone to protect them and someone to keep them company."
"At worst, I'll travel the world with you."
Shen Ruzhi said, "Just like that Prince Jin, he goes everywhere, up mountains and down rivers."
"This is much better than being stuck in the backyard for the rest of your life."
Jiang Wan Ning watched as the three of them took turns saying comforting words to her, as if they were afraid she might do something rash.
She couldn't help but smile. "I'm really fine."
But right now, the more she says she's fine, the more the three of them feel that she's just putting on a brave face, and that things are getting worse.
Jiang Wan Ning had no choice but to stop laughing and put on a sad face.
