Chapter 144 Love
Aunt Zhang gnashed her teeth and said, "Then I'll rush in with my men and teach her a lesson."
"If she's really hurt during the shoving and fighting, are you afraid the prince won't come to hold her accountable? Even if he doesn't come for the sake of face, if I send her to my place for two days and she's seriously injured, do you think I'll look good and the prince won't say anything but keep it to himself?"
Xu Wan put down the teacup and sneered, "She's right. I haven't even married yet, so is there going to be a rift between me and the prince?"
Frightened by Xu Wan's gaze, Aunt Zhang knelt on the ground. She slapped herself twice, then gritted her teeth and said, "Are we just going to let her go like this?"
Xu Wan narrowed her eyes: "I have my own arrangements, don't worry about her for now."
Li Runrun didn't know how long she had slept before she was woken up by a knock on the door.
This time it was Xu Wan's voice: "Sister Ruanruan."
When Li Runrun heard the voice, she frowned instinctively.
But she couldn't keep pretending to be mute, so she stood up and went to open the door.
Xu Wan smiled kindly: "I heard everything. It was the old nanny who was ignorant. I have already sent her away. You should not take it to heart."
Xu Wan glanced at Li Ruanruan's side room, then ordered the maid behind her: "How can you treat Sister Ruanruan so badly? Why don't you tidy up the room? And change the moldy bedding quickly."
The maids began to rearrange the place.
Xu Wan took Li Ruanruan's hand, patted it in her palm, and then said to Li Ruanruan, "I asked Sister Ruanruan to come here to keep me company. After all, we will all serve in the prince's backyard in the future."
Xu Wanlai pretended to be a good person. Li Runrun didn't know what she was up to, but she knew she was definitely not a good person.
He just curled his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and he didn't say anything.
Xu Wan added, "If there's anything you need, just tell me."
Li Ruanruan smiled again before saying, "Okay."
Only then did Xu Wan leave.
Li Ruanruan looked at her back and frowned fiercely.
When she got home, she carefully lifted the quilt and saw several centipedes inside.
It’s probably hard to find centipedes in winter, it’s hard for her.
Fortunately, Li Ruanruan was not afraid at all. She found a handkerchief and folded it again and again because she had nothing to put it in.
Otherwise, she would really grab it, put it in a bottle, and put it in Xu Wan's room when she wasn't paying attention.
In the end, he just grabbed it and threw it out the window.
I hope they can crawl over and bite Xu Wan to death.
Then Li Runrun shook the quilt and hit it with a stick, and several centipedes came out from the quilt.
Li Ruanruan's scalp tingled when she saw it.
Xu Wan was too mean. She rolled up the quilt, not knowing how many centipedes were inside, and threw it aside.
She sat by the stove, and sure enough, the charcoal inside was damp. Not only was it difficult to light, but it also produced a lot of smoke. The smoke made the pears soft, their eyes hurt, and they choked and coughed.
Fortunately, she was very patient and finally succeeded in lighting the charcoal. However, the charcoal was obviously of poor quality and produced a lot of smoke.
Li Runrun walked over to open the window while coughing and choking.
No one brought her dinner, so Li Runrun didn't eat lunch. Fortunately, she had made plans and brought some pastries with her.
This is her favorite pastry, and the prince often asks the kitchen to prepare it.
Li Ruanruan was eating pastries when her eyes felt sore again, and she blinked them away hard.
There's nothing to cry about.
At night, Li Runrun sat by the charcoal brazier, hugging her knees, and slept on a chair all night.
The next day I had severe back pain.
Early in the morning, he was called to help Xu Wan get dressed and wash up.
Xu Wan deliberately put on airs. She sat in front of the dressing table and compared her gold hairpins and hairpins. Her dressing box contained everything, and she looked extremely wealthy.
If Li Runrun hadn't been standing beside her with a basin of water for her to use for dressing, she would have known that she was deliberately torturing her.
I thought she was showing off her elegance and refinement.
Fortunately, Li Runrun had done a lot of hard work in the past, so she could endure the pain in her hands while carrying a basin of water without saying a word.
Xu Wan would even ask for Li Ruanruan's opinion, appearing so easy to talk to: "Sister Ruanruan, what do you think of this? Does it suit me?"
Li Ruanruan nodded: "Miss Xu is a natural beauty. All the jewels and jade on your head are just embellishments."
"Sister Ruanruan is really good at talking. No wonder the prince likes you."
Xu Wan looked at Li Ruanruan in the mirror and said, "I'll need to ask Sister Ruanruan for advice in the future."
She was smiling softly but not truly smiling. She could already foresee what kind of life she would lead after Xu Wan got married.
From then on, perhaps when the prince was dressing Xu Wan early in the morning, she would stand by and serve water.
Maybe the prince was being intimate with Xu Wan, so she stood outside the door to serve them and even brought them water.
Xu Wan had plenty of ways to torture her. Once she entered the house, she was the legal wife, and even if she was promoted to a concubine, she was just their slave.
It's only right to serve them.
This allowed Xu Wan to experience this life in advance.
Indeed, it’s not easy.
It's very difficult.
The depths of Li Runrun's eyes were filled with misery.
Xu Wan waited a long time before she suddenly seemed to remember something. She turned around and washed her hands in the basin, then said hypocritically, "The prince asked me to go out today, and I was so busy dressing up that I forgot that my sister Ruanruan was holding a basin of water. I'll wash it, you go and pour it out quickly, don't get tired."
Li Runrun waited for her to finish washing, then bent down.
Xu Wan faced the mirror, the smile on her lips gradually faded, leaving only coldness and viciousness.
Li Runrun poured out a basin of water. Her hands were numb and had lost all feeling. She was so sore that she didn't dare to move.
Xu Wan dressed up beautifully and went out, returning in the evening. Li Runrun was called by her maid to go to the gate of Xu's house to pick her up.
Li Runrun knew that it must be the prince.
I didn't want to go, but somehow I came here.
From a distance, one could see the prince riding a fine horse beside the Xu family's luxurious carriage, with a slender figure, cold and noble.
When they arrived at the gate of Xu Mansion, the prince dismounted.
Xu Wan lifted the car curtain and came out. He stretched out his hand to her, gentle and considerate, yet also indulgent and doting.
Xu Wan smiled shyly and placed her hand in the prince's palm.
The maid urged Li Runrun.
Li Runrun took the small stool and walked forward, kneeling down and placing it in front of the carriage.
He reached out again to hold on to the small stool.
Xu Wan stepped on a low stool and got off the carriage.
Ye Yunchu lowered his head and looked at Li Ruanruan.
Letting go of Xu Wan's hand, he reached out and helped Li Ruanruan up. He glanced at her again and asked, "Have you served Miss Xu well?"
"Um."
Li Runrun knew that Ye Yunchu was saying this to give face to Xu Wan, but her eyes still felt a little sore, and she hummed softly.
Xu Wan quickly said, "Sister Ruanruan and I get along very well. It's no wonder that the prince likes her. I like her too. Play with me for two more days, and then I'll send her back to the prince."
Ye Yunchu smiled faintly and said to Xu Wan, "Let's go back. We are tired today."
Xu Wan walked towards the Xu Mansion. After taking a few steps, she covered half of her face with the round fan, turned back to look at him reluctantly, smiled shyly, and turned back.
Li Runrun also wanted to look back at the prince, but was pushed forward by Xu Wan's maid.
I wonder if the prince is also fascinated by Xu Wan. The prince must like Xu Wan very much and they even made an appointment to go out and play.
Never took her with him.
It turns out that she is not presentable enough.
