Chapter 145 Shaking
All the way, Xu Wan listened to the maid praising the prince for how much he cherished their young lady and how considerate he was today.
After hearing so much, Li Runrun felt a dull pain in her heart. It seemed that the prince treated Xu Wan and her the same way.
It's all good like this.
Maybe there is still a difference. The prince treated her very badly in some things and bullied her on purpose.
Has it not reached that stage with Xu Wan yet? If it has reached that stage, will it be the same?
Then if Xu Wan could replace her, what would she mean in Ye Yunchu's heart?
Xu Wansheng is beautiful, has a good family background, is well-educated and well-mannered, so she will have more topics to talk about with the prince.
They are so well matched.
Will the prince still want her if he already has Xu Wan?
Will there be a day when he suddenly feels that she is no good and sells her off like a maid?
Some of the things that Li Ruanruan had once been firm about began to waver again.
Are you relying on the prince rather than relying on yourself to be useful?
Just when Li Ruanruan was lost in thought, the maid instructed her, "Go get some water. The young lady needs to wash up and eat."
It was the same trick from this morning. The pear was so soft that her hands ached to the bone before Xu Wan washed them.
Li Runrun went out to get some water, and it was already dark.
She went back again.
But Xu Wan came out and said to Li Ruanruan, "I'm having dinner at my mother's tonight. You and Cai'er come with me."
Li Runrun had a bad feeling in her heart. Mrs. Xu was obviously more difficult to deal with.
Xu Wan was raised by Madam Xu as a spoiled child. You know, old ginger is always wise.
Li Ruanruan followed, she lowered her head and followed behind Xu Wan to avoid making any mistakes.
Fortunately, Mrs. Xu did not treat me harshly during the meal.
Li Runrun did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief, because when she saw Mrs. Xu's stern face towards her, she knew that Mrs. Xu was deliberately targeting her.
I just don't know what means.
When Xu Wan was bitten by a snake, Madam Xu pointed it out to her immediately. It seemed that she blamed her for all the mistakes and would not let her off easily.
Li Runrun is very careful and pays attention all the time.
Just when she was extremely alert, a maid came running over in a hurry: "Madam, something bad has happened, Madam."
Liruanruan's heart skipped a beat.
Madam Xu slowly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, then turned around and washed her hands in the basin brought by the maid before scolding, "What's the matter? Why are you so flustered and making such a fuss?"
The nanny took one look at Li Ruanruan before anxiously saying, "It was the maid that the prince brought with him. She actually climbed into the young master's bed. Madam, go and take a look."
Madam Xu slammed the table. "What? There's such a thing!"
Then Madam Xu suddenly looked at Li Runrun. Li Runrun did not avert her gaze. She and Madam Xu looked at each other, and the blood instantly drained from her face, leaving it extremely pale.
Which maid is it? If it is Honghua, she will definitely die.
How could Honghua, who has always been a responsible person, do such a thing?
Unless, unless...
Designed by someone.
Li Runrun stood there, feeling even colder than that day when her clothes were soaked and she stood in the cold wind. A chill emanated from her bones.
"Is it possible that the maids you taught are as seductive as you? If anything happens to Ze'er, I'll make you pay!"
Madam Xu pointed at Li Ruanruan and acted very arrogantly.
"How dare you! You're so unruly even in the Marquis' Mansion! You refused to kneel when the master scolded you!"
The next moment, Li's soft knee was kicked hard. She knelt on the ground, supporting herself with her hands. The pain made her frown, and she also felt a slight pain in her stomach.
She forced herself to suppress the feeling of nausea.
Xu Wan stood up at this time and went to support Madam Xu, pretending to be a good person: "Mother, there may be some misunderstanding. Let's go and take a look first."
"Oh."
Mrs. Xu waved her hand and quickly walked towards Xu Yangxi's yard.
Li Runrun quickly got up, ignoring the pain in her legs, and quickly followed.
Honghua had been dragged to the yard. Her clothes were disheveled, but her eyes were stubborn. "You framed me. You pushed me into his room and locked the door. I knocked desperately, but no one came. Now you're all gathered here to catch me in an affair, you beasts!"
The next moment, a nanny stepped forward and slapped Honghua several times: "You drugged the young master with the intention of climbing into his bed, just like your master."
"I don't!"
The corners of Honghua's eyes were red, and she was hysterical. It was obvious that she was very angry.
When Li Runrun heard Honghua say this, she knew what was going on.
Haitang wanted to go up and help: "There must be some misunderstanding. She knew that she would die if she did this, so why did she still do this?"
"Her master is still alive and well, so of course she has to follow his example."
Haitang also argued: "She wouldn't dare to study in your Xu Mansion. Are you going to let her go? Unless, this is all a frame-up."
"You're using our young master's reputation to frame her? You should take a piss and look in the mirror to see if you think you're worthy."
Haitang was pushed heavily to the ground: "You think you are a good person? Why don't you tie her up too!"
Haitang was tied up and said again: "How dare you! I am the eldest maidservant beside the prince. How dare you!"
Haitang was also slapped in the face. The housekeeper scolded her coldly, "If you come to our territory, you must abide by our rules!"
Mrs. Xu entered the yard, but did not go forward immediately. Instead, she stopped here.
Li Runrun heard all these humiliating words and witnessed their methods.
What's not to understand? This matter, from beginning to end, was planned by Xu Wan and her daughter.
If it gets out, outsiders will know how she, the most favored maidservant beside the prince, got to her position and how extraordinary her methods are.
As for the reputation of the young master of the Xu family, as long as he kills the maid Honghua who has ulterior motives and climbs into bed with her, outsiders will naturally praise Madam Xu for her strict management of the household. How can his reputation be damaged?
He also implied that the Marquis' wife was not good at managing the household, which was why she allowed a lowly servant like her to climb into the prince's bed and gain his favor.
Li Ruanruan closed her eyes and her whole body was trembling.
Sure enough, Madam Xu gave the order, "Alright, what are you still making a fuss about? Something like this has happened, why don't you just beat him to death with clubs? Otherwise, if it happens once, there will be a second time. It's unbearable!"
As Mrs. Xu spoke, she covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and gave Li Ruanruan a meaningful look.
Xu Wan felt a little reluctant, but a smile was clearly on her lips as she spoke: "Mother, isn't this too cruel?"
Madam Xu held Xu Wan's hand and patted it: "You are too kind-hearted. Sometimes, kindness is not a good thing. It only gives people an opportunity to take advantage of you."
"Mother........"
"Stop talking, hurry up, kill him and throw him away."
These people seemed to be prepared, and the sticks fell heavily on Honghua.
