Chapter 357 was just teasing her.
As long as it didn't mean she had to live a life of widowhood, Qin Yasu didn't care, and it wasn't like she couldn't have children anyway.
"No matter what Your Highness thinks, I have already been led into the gates of the Prince's mansion by Your Highness, and there is no possibility of me going back. If I were to go back now, I would surely be ridiculed by others."
"No matter what, I cannot disobey Your Majesty's decree. Your Highness, don't you agree?"
Jiang Wan Ning nodded, "Indeed, no one asked you to disobey the imperial decree. I'm just making it clear to you beforehand so you won't regret it later."
"Now that you're here, you'll serve the Prince well with me from now on," Jiang Wan Ning said. "Let's serve tea."
As soon as Jiang Wan Ning finished speaking, Shao Yao came in carrying a cup of scalding hot tea. "Aunt Qin, please take this carefully. It's bad luck to spill the tea offered to the mistress."
Qin Yasu took the teacup. She often saw this kind of trick in the inner quarters. Her father always took concubines one after another, and her mother would always use this method to intimidate those lowly concubines when serving tea.
I came up with this method myself at first.
Now that it was her turn, Qin Yasu felt a pang of unease and looked at Pei Yanchuan with a wronged expression. At least on the way back from the palace, Pei Yanchuan hadn't shown any signs of rejection towards her.
Furthermore, even though the princess is beautiful, aren't all men in the world prone to getting tired of the old and seeking the new?
She simply couldn't believe that the prince wasn't tired of his princess.
Unexpectedly, Pei Yanchuan seemed not to see her at all, turning his head slightly to look at Jiang Wan Ning, with a faint smile on his lips.
"Your Highness," Qin Yasu couldn't help but call out.
"The princess asked you to serve tea, and you didn't. What do you want me to do then?" Pei Yanchuan said coldly.
Qin Yasu gritted her teeth. It was just scalding hot tea, wasn't it? She didn't believe Jiang Wanning would let her serve it all day.
Despite the pain, Qin Yasu held up a teacup and offered tea to Jiang Wanning.
I've already figured out how Jiang Wan Ning will deal with me and make things difficult for me next.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wan Ning gently took the teacup and placed it on the side table, showing no intention of making things difficult for Qin Su Ya.
"The tea is too hot, I'll save it for later."
"Peony, go and take Aunt Qin to her room. Make sure she needs anything, and also assign her two personal maids."
Qin Yasu was stunned. "Your Highness...this...this...is it over already?"
"Does Aunt Qin intend to do something else?"
"Ah, no...no." Qin Yasu felt a little uncomfortable. What kind of person was this princess?
He was sarcastic and sharp-tongued when he first met her, but when it came time to punish her, he didn't.
Could it be that there's something else waiting for me inside the house?
I heard there's a white tiger in this palace. Could it be that he wants to lock himself up with the white tiger?
"Aunt Qin, why aren't you leaving yet?" Peony said irritably.
The more Shaoyao urged her to leave, the more frightened Qin Yasu became, fearing there might be a trap. She even knelt on the ground, crying, "Your Highness, I... I was only acting on imperial orders. I didn't mean to interfere."
"Your Highness, I have told you everything you wish to know."
Jiang Wan Ning waved her hand, and Shao Yao pulled Qin Ya Su away, while Qin Ya Su cried even harder.
Jiang Wan Ning rubbed her temples. She was just teasing her, so why did she suddenly get so scared when she stopped teasing her?
“She’s probably afraid that Mo Bai will eat her up,” Pei Yanchuan said softly.
Jiang Wan Ning then realized, no wonder.
"What is Ningning doing? Is she not worthy of dining with me?"
He hasn't eaten yet today.
“I have already eaten. Your Highness, why don’t you ask Consort Qin to accompany you for dinner? Oh, and let Consort Qin serve Your Highness tonight as well. I happen to have some things to do these few days.”
As Jiang Wanning was about to leave, Pei Yanchuan pulled her into his arms. "Are you willing to let her go?"
Jiang Wan Ning's body tensed up; she could already feel the heat emanating from Pei Yan Chuan's body.
She felt that if she said anything more, Pei Yanchuan would likely execute her on the spot.
"No, no, isn't this just acting?"
"My queen is indeed clever; she has already guessed that I brought her back to put on an act."
"In the end, isn't this all thanks to you? If you hadn't provoked Song Zhuran, how would she have thought of using this method to deal with you?"
Jiang Wan Ning pretended to be angry, "So the prince just led people in like that? Without even telling me."
"That little chubby girl, Peony, runs so fast her legs are practically turning into cartwheels. I didn't even need to tell her beforehand; didn't the Princess already guess what I was thinking?"
"Song Zhuran went through all this trouble to find someone who admires me, just to make you sad and upset you."
“If I don’t accept this one, she might choose many more.”
“Alright,” Jiang Wan Ning nudged Pei Yan Chuan, “I will take care of Aunt Qin. I have other matters to attend to today, so I won’t have dinner with Your Highness.”
Jiang Wan Ning left as if she were fleeing; she had nothing to do, she just wanted to avoid Pei Yan Chuan.
Her intuition was always accurate; if she didn't find an excuse to come out, she would inevitably be dragged along to prove that he was capable.
As soon as Jiang Wanning went out, Qin Yasu blocked her way.
"Didn't I tell you to go and rest?" Jiang Wan Ning said.
"Perhaps it's because of the change of scenery, I can't sleep. Is Your Highness going out?"
Before Jiang Wan Ning could speak, Qin Ya Su said, "Could you bring me along?"
"Your Highness doesn't usually go out much, so you might not know that a new restaurant has opened in the capital. The food is quite delicious. How about I accompany Your Highness there?"
Peony stepped forward, trying to shoo the person away.
Jiang Wan Ning stopped her, "Okay."
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
"Let's see what she's up to," Jiang Wan Ning said calmly. "She's already getting restless?"
Qin Yasu didn't expect everything to go so smoothly. She followed Jiang Wanning out of the mansion and arrived at the restaurant she had mentioned.
As soon as she sat down, Shen Ruzhi rushed over. Upon seeing Qin Yasu, she slapped her without saying a word. "Ningning, is she the one that Song Zhuran tricked into getting you in here?"
Jiang Wan Ning glanced at Shao Yao, who immediately turned her head away, "This servant is going back to the palace to serve Her Majesty the Empress."
She knew Qin Yasu very well. She used to always cling to Pei Yanchuan and was also Princess Ping'an's little follower.
After Princess Ping'an passed away, he always followed behind noble ladies of higher status than himself.
She may appear gentle and delicate on the surface, but behind the scenes, she's definitely not the type to seduce other people's brothers or husbands.
Although she liked Pei Yanchuan, she failed to win him over after several attempts, so she began to constantly flirt with the young masters of aristocratic families.
In short, he is not a good person.
Qin Yasu covered half of her slapped face, wanting to get angry but not daring to, for Shen Ruzhi was now a princess of Western Xia.
She could only shed a few tears of grievance, "Miss Chen, none of this was my choice."
“Since it wasn’t your own choice, I’ll go to the palace and tell the Emperor to send you back to where you came from.”
