For Rong Ning, life on the estate was like an eternity.
She had never experienced such a difficult time in her life.
She never even imagined that she would have such a humiliating day.
Yan Nangui actually dared to send people to control her.
When Granny Xu was young, she served Lan Jingyi. When she was sent to the estate, she knew that her young lady's condition was not good.
She was the most loyal, or rather, several of them were very loyal.
Granny Xu was the most loyal of them all, and she never married in her entire life.
Now, Consort Chen is taking good care of them, and they are living a good life, but she came to Changkangzhuang after the Qing Dynasty.
Today, Changkangzhuang has people from Old Lady Wang and people from the Zou family.
There were also people associated with Consort Chen.
In any case, no matter which wave it is, Rong Ning will not have an easy time.
She naturally had no worries about food and clothing, but the food, clothing, and other necessities she had were not befitting of her status as a princess.
She lived a simple life, eating plain food and wearing simple clothes and hairpins—things she had never used before.
Of course, you can use what she brought, but that will eventually run out.
Silk and satin are the least durable. We didn't realize this in previous years because the old ones hadn't worn out yet, and the new ones were already in use.
Now that there are no new ones, she can't just wear the worn-out ones, can she?
As for food, they couldn't even cook simple meals properly; they were either too salty or too bland.
Granny Xu is the one who has the final say here; she's Consort Chen's person. Who dares to offend her?
If she's unhappy, she'll stand at the gate and yell at people, using extremely offensive language.
Rong Ning was furious, but she had only brought three people with her when she came. What could she do?
Reasoning with her was useless; Granny Xu would only say that she didn't understand these rules and that she was just a boorish person.
She knew this was deliberate provocation, but she just couldn't understand why Yan Nangui had such audacity.
She's a princess no matter what!
Besides, isn't she afraid that one day His Majesty will think she's too presumptuous and rude?
But things that can't be understood will remain incomprehensible.
Unable to endure this life, she wrote to Yan Lingyun, but her letters eventually reached the palace.
It's impossible to send even a single letter to the frontier.
One day, Granny Xu drank too much alcohol.
She sat on the threshold of the main courtyard, cried and cursed, and made a scene for most of the day.
They absolutely refused to leave.
Enraged, Rong Ning rushed out, yelling, "You damned bastard! I should have had you beaten to death back then!"
Just as Granny Xu was about to leave, she suddenly became agitated, stood up, and spat at Rong Ning: "Pah! You whore! Shameless thing, a princess of your stature, rushing to become a concubine for a married man. How dare you?"
"What are you? Even the shit in that latrine is cleaner than you. You tried to kill me, but you failed! I'm alive to curse you to death, you whore."
Rong Ning was so angry she wanted to hit her, but she was no match for Granny Xu.
Liu Mama and her maidservant came up and tried to pull Xu Mama away, but there were other people on the estate.
They were just joking around, but they weren't allowed to succeed.
Granny Xu, hands on her hips, angrily cursed, "You shameless thing, you gave birth to a pair of shameless whores! One of you picked up the man your elder sister didn't want, you mother and daughter are the same kind of thing, always wanting what others have used. The other desperately wanted to marry a prince, and now she's stuck unable to get married. You're truly shameless."
"Your entry into the Yan family is an insult to the family's honor. You've disgusted us with this once-grand Duke's mansion."
"You...you...you wretched servant!" Rong Ning had never heard such disgusting words in her entire life.
She keeps calling herself a prostitute, shameless...
"Who's the cheapest one here? I didn't go out of my way to find a man, and I certainly didn't drug him just because he wouldn't sleep with me. What kind of princess are you? You're not even as cheap as the lowest prostitute on the street!"
"You think you can still act tough? Dream on! You'll die here, even if you don't. How did you treat our daughter back then? How did you treat our madam? You thought you could hide your magnanimity from everyone? Look at you now!"
"Let me tell you, do you think that no one knows about our lady's passing back then?"
Xu Mama suddenly let out a sinister laugh, her voice no longer angry, but carrying an eerie quality.
"Yes, no one has caught us with any evidence. But that doesn't matter."
"What nonsense are you talking about! You're drunk, get out of here!" Rong Ning shouted angrily.
"Heh, I used to always want you to pay with your life. I always hated you and wanted you dead. But now I understand, how can you die now? If you die, the royal family will still have to send you off, and you'll have a grand funeral. You can't die. You have to endure it. Wait ten or twenty years, then who will even remember you? Wouldn't it be better to just bury you anywhere?"
"Look, you killed our lady, you ruined our girl. Isn't this karma? You'll suffer for it. These good days are far from over."
Granny Xu laughed heartily, "You've been eating too well these past few days. Starting tomorrow, there will only be one dish. You can enjoy it to the fullest."
Rong Ning was so angry that she couldn't speak.
After an unknown amount of time, the courtyard became quiet.
She sat at the stone table under the tree: "Aunt Liu, am I not allowed to get out?"
Mrs. Liu looked very old and didn't know what to say, so she remained silent.
"No one could possibly know what happened back then."
“Princess, whether you know it or not, it’s all the same. Consort Chen is convinced that you harmed her mother. Whether it’s true or not, it’s still the same.” Madam Liu sighed.
"Confident? Hah. She's got some nerve! It's all my fault. I was too kind to her back then. I shouldn't have kept her alive." She hated many people, but of course, she hated Yan Nangui the most.
From the moment she got divorced, everything spiraled out of control.
Mrs. Liu sighed, thinking that if she hadn't kept her back then, the consequences might not have been any better.
After Lady Lan passed away, the general refused to touch the princess again.
The birth of the fourth daughter was all the result of the princess's elaborate schemes.
If the young lady dies...
Perhaps the consequences would be worse than they are today, and besides, that's all just imagination.
Now, these days are truly here, but no one knows when they will end.
This young lady, I couldn't have seen through her before, I just thought she had a bad temper and was brainless.
Unexpectedly, after surviving the ordeal at the Meng family's residence, he became so ruthless and heartless.
Rong Ning didn't know how long she had been sitting, but when she got up, her legs were a little numb.
She naturally didn't want to eat that bland food, and even lying on the bed with her eyes closed, she couldn't fall asleep.
She began to regret it.
I truly regret it.
She, a princess and the late emperor's younger sister, ended up in such a state.
To think they've ended up in this situation.
Looking back over the past twenty years, she feels that she was like she was on some kind of drug when she was young, crazy and irrational.
But……
Time never turns back, and no matter how much she regrets it, it's too late. There's no going back.
I closed my eyes, and tears streamed down the lines at the corners of my eyes.
She grew older and older after moving here.
She is no longer the glamorous Princess Rongning of yesteryear...
