Chapter 124 The Smiling Spider
Wu Xinrui bit her lower lip tightly, as if she were making a big decision.
She brought the tea to Pei Yanchuan's study.
"Your Highness."
Pei Yanchuan frowned slightly upon hearing the sound, and looked up at Wu Xinrui, who had already changed her clothes.
"What's up?"
Wu Xinrui placed the tea in her hand in front of Pei Yanchuan, "It's...it's nothing."
"I came here to thank Your Highness for saving my life that day."
Pei Yanchuan lowered his head and continued reading. "It was nothing, you don't need to worry about it so much."
"I would have saved whoever it was that day."
"After all, it's in the Princess's shop." If something happens, the Princess will inevitably be implicated.
Wu Xinrui's eyelashes trembled slightly. Was it just because of the princess?
He hadn't paid any attention to himself at all.
Wu Xinrui admitted that Jiang Wan Ning was very beautiful. In the entire Dongling Kingdom, she had never seen a woman more beautiful than Jiang Wan Ning.
But she believed she was just as good as anyone else.
Compared to Jiang Wan Ning's noble air, she is more like a lotus bud about to bloom, youthful and somewhat demure.
Jiang Wan Ning is captivating at first glance, like a bewitching concubine who brings ruin to the country.
She, on the other hand, is the kind of person who makes you want to protect her at first glance.
Her personality and appearance make her very attractive to men.
Wu Xinyi specially changed into an elegant and slightly revealing outfit, but to her surprise, Pei Yanchuan didn't even glance at her.
"Is there anything else?" Pei Yanchuan asked coldly.
Knowing she couldn't rush things, Wu Xinrui quickly lowered her head and said, "No, that's all."
They retreated slowly, turning back every few steps.
"Mo Qing, get in here."
Mo Qing had never seen Pei Yanchuan so angry before, and was completely puzzled.
"When did my study become a marketplace?" Pei Yanchuan said sternly. "If you let any more of these scoundrels in, you won't be allowed to stay in the palace anymore."
"yes."
Mo Qing didn't try to argue and obediently left.
Even if someone were to break into his study under normal circumstances, the prince would not get this angry.
Mo Ran went to see the princess off. She had only gone to see Mo Bai briefly, and when she came back, she was scolded harshly.
Mo Qing sometimes really wanted to switch jobs and go work for the princess.
Look at the princess's two maids. They eat whatever the princess eats, and when the princess goes out shopping, she even brings food back for that chubby maid.
And they always greeted us with a smile.
I wonder if I could marry into the princess's family as her maid. That chubby one would be nice; her round, plump face looks adorable.
Most importantly, he kissed that chubby girl while we were eating hot pot that day...
Wu Xinrui stood not far outside the house and heard Pei Yanchuan reprimanding Mo Qing.
Those words were as if they were an insult to her face, calling her shameless.
Wu Xinrui wiped away her tears with her sleeve and walked towards the entrance of the Prince's Mansion.
He didn't go to greet Jiang Wan Ning until he saw her return.
"Miss Wu, what are you doing here?" Jiang Wan Ning asked in confusion.
Having returned to the Prince's residence, Mo Ran withdrew. He knew that the Princess's maid would arrive soon, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to stay.
Seeing that Jiang Wan Ning was alone, Wu Xin Rui asked, "I wonder if Miss Shen is alright? I'm quite worried."
“I forgot, Miss Shen seemed to have said during the day that she was going back to her residence today and wouldn’t be coming to the free clinic to see you.”
"I was wondering if it was my fault that made the princess make an extra trip."
"We'll wait here for the princess to return."
Jiang Wanning: "It's nothing. Zhizhi has already told me. She just didn't explain it clearly."
Jiang Wanning walked towards the backyard, with Wu Xinrui following behind.
"Miss Wu has been waiting for me at the door?"
Wu Xinrui paused, "After the princess left, the prince asked me some questions, and I stayed in the prince's study for a while before I came out."
"Princess, please don't misunderstand. The prince was just showing concern and asking if I'm getting used to life here."
Jiang Wan Ning smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I just asked casually because the incense on you smelled somewhat similar to the one in the Prince's study."
Wu Xinrui lowered her head and did not respond, but obediently followed behind Jiang Wanning.
"Did Miss Wu always live in the countryside?"
Wu Xinrui bit her lip and nodded, "I was born out of wedlock. When I was little, I broke something in the house."
"After that, he was sent to live on the estate."
"Miss Wu has naturally beautiful skin. This is the first time I've seen Miss Wu since we came from the village, and her skin is flawless."
"Her skin is even better than ours, which is something to be envious of, as we live in Beijing all the time."
Wu Xinrui showed no sign of panic. "That's the only good thing about me. I'm naturally fair-skinned. If I get sun exposure during the day, I can recover by night."
"Therefore, no calluses were left on my hands."
“If it weren’t for this, my grandfather wouldn’t have brought me back from the estate.”
Wu Xinrui spoke so sincerely that no one could see any problem with her words.
The investigators sent out did indeed report the same information.
However, Jiang Wan Ning didn't believe that someone who could send her whole family to their death would be as innocent as she appeared.
"Alright, Miss Wu, go back and rest now. I won't keep you company any longer."
Jiang Wanning said, "There's a happy occasion at the manor the day after tomorrow, so things might get a bit chaotic. Please take good care of yourself."
Wu Xinrui nodded, "Thank you for your kind words, Your Highness."
......
The Grand Princess's Residence.
Jiang Wanru was pinned to the ground and pricked with needles by several old women.
"Grand Princess, spare me! I was wrong."
"Look at you, you haven't accomplished a single thing I asked you to do."
"You even secretly switched the poison for my sake."
"I...I also want that bitch Jiang Wan Ning to die a horrible death! Grand Princess, spare my life, please spare me this time."
The Grand Princess lay on the soft couch with her eyes closed, surrounded by four or five fair-skinned male concubines whose clothes were loose and half-concealed.
Serving the Grand Princess.
The Grand Princess gently raised her hand, and the male concubines obediently stepped aside.
The Grand Princess opened her eyes, sat up, and stared at Jiang Wanru, "If it weren't for the fact that you're going to marry Pei Anqing tomorrow..."
"I will kill you right now."
Saving Jiang Wanru was the stupidest thing I ever did.
They can't get anything done and keep causing trouble for themselves.
"I'll give you one last chance: marry into the Langya Prince's mansion and find an opportunity to kill him."
"I don't care what methods you use."
"This servant obeys." Jiang Wanru quickly kowtowed and accepted the order.
In front of the Grand Princess, she could only refer to herself as a servant.
She appeared glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes, she had experienced all sorts of tortures that were done without revealing her injuries.
Being able to marry into the royal family is a relief for her.
Pei Anqing is at least easier to deal with than the Grand Princess.
As long as I serve Pei Anqing well, I won't suffer so much punishment.
"Don't think you'll be free just because you left the Princess's residence." The Grand Princess seemed to hear Jiang Wanru's inner thoughts.
"This is a laughing spider. It must be taken as an antidote every month. Once it takes effect, the pain is unbearable."
"If the antidote is not used, they will eventually die in excruciating pain."
As the Grand Princess spoke, someone handed poison to Jiang Wanru.
