Chapter 42 She Wants to Become a Thorn in Everyone's Eyes
At this critical moment, Li Runrun suddenly exerted force and threw the charcoal basin aside. The charcoal basin fell to the ground and the charcoal fire turned red.
The frightened little maidservant beside her let out a low cry, and fearing that Wang Ma would blame her, she ran away in a hurry, not daring to watch the fun anymore.
When Li Runrun put down her arm, the numb feeling almost took her life, but fortunately she let it go.
Only a little spark fell on her, which burned her and left a red spot, but it faded away and was nothing serious.
Nanny Wang hit Li Ruanruan hard with her slender teaching stick. "You still dare to be lazy and pretend to be honest. You are indeed a restless person. I will discipline you well on behalf of the lady today. Otherwise, if you become restless in the future, it will be troublesome for you to stay with the prince."
Li Runrun covered her face with her hands after being beaten, but she secretly felt lucky that it was not a whip, so her skin would not be torn. At most, there would be some bruises on her body.
This way you don't have to spend money on treatment.
Li Ruanruan curled up into a ball just when Nanny Wang was tired of beating her.
Ye Qiaoqiao, who heard the news, came over hurriedly: "Stop, stop!"
Ye Qiaoqiao pushed Nanny Wang away, protected Li Ruanruan, hugged her, and used a handkerchief to bandage the broken blisters on Li Ruanruan's hands. Her eyes were red with heartache, and there was a cold light at the corners of her eyes.
She hugged Li Ruanruan and said, "Good Ruanruan, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Li Runrun's hair was disheveled, and she looked disheveled and in pain. Her face was pale and covered in cold sweat as she looked at Ye Qiaoqiao. She couldn't control her tears and bit her lips to prevent herself from sobbing out loud.
Nanny Wang didn't dare to hit her anymore. Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion knew that the second young lady had won the old lady's favor and now she had someone to rely on.
But even so, as the wife of a marquis, Nanny Wang could not like this concubine's daughter who came out of her concubine's womb.
Nanny Wang rolled up her sleeves and asked, "What does the Second Young Lady mean by this? Could it be that the Second Young Lady has become so powerful that she can even interfere in Madam's affairs?"
The implication is that she has no right to interfere.
Ye Qiaoqiao stood up, holding Li Ruanruan. She looked at Wang Ma in a dignified manner and said, "I just went to see mother, and she told me to take Li Ruanruan away."
At this moment, the maidservant beside the Marquis's wife also came over and nodded to Nanny Wang.
Nanny Wang then stepped back and said, "In that case, please come in, Second Miss."
Ye Qiaoqiao took Li Runrun away and burst into tears out of heartache.
The maidservant beside the Marquis's wife looked at Nanny Wang and said, "Madam asked her to hold the water basin, but you asked her to hold the fire basin. Are you really not afraid of being blamed?"
"I don't think she's a quiet person. Nanny Song told me that Li Ruanruan is very scheming. She looks harmless, but she can actually hurt people behind the scenes."
"After all, she is the Crown Prince's concubine. If the Crown Prince really blames her, wouldn't it hurt the relationship between mother and son? As for this matter, you should go and apologize to the Madam yourself."
"No way, doesn't the prince dislike her? She herself said that the prince doesn't like to touch her and only treats her as a plaything."
"How can you still not see clearly at your age? I really don't like it. How did the young lady go to the manor? Did you ask her to go there?"
Nanny Wang's expression changed, and she began to scold him, "I told you she was restless. How dare she hide the Crown Prince's favor from Madam? You've said too much! I must report this to Madam. We must not let the Crown Prince be harmed by such a vixen."
"You think Madam knows everything, and you don't believe it. If Li Ruanruan really dares to say that the prince treats her well, what will Madam think?"
"She's being too presumptuous!"
"Yes, so she is a smart person. You should also be a smart person and go and apologize. Let the lady give an explanation to the prince. Otherwise, the prince will really have a rift with the lady and her son. I think your life will be over."
Nanny Wang raised her hand and slapped herself: "Look at me, I'm so stupid. Thanks for the tip. I'll go right away."
Ye Qiaoqiao took Li Ruanruan in her arms and said to her on the way, "It was your father who came to find me. I learned that something happened to you and wanted to go find my big brother, but I didn't expect he was still in the palace. So I hurried to see mother. I thought that after all, you were my big brother's concubine, and if anything happened to you, mother would not be able to explain to my big brother. So I went to give it a try, and inadvertently told her about your brother's accident. Mother was very easy to talk to and asked me to take you away."
Ye Qiaoqiao said it easily, but taking her away from the Marquis's wife would probably take a lot of effort.
Li Ruanruan was grateful and leaned on Ye Qiaoqiao: "Thank you, thank you Qiaoqiao."
"Why are we talking about this?"
Seeing that Li Runrun was indeed weak, Ye Qiaoqiao wanted to hug her and sit for a while.
Li Ruanruan waved her hand and refused: "I want to go back, Dad, Dad is still waiting for me. No, that's not right, I want to go find the prince and ask him for help."
Seeing that she could hardly walk steadily, Ye Qiaoqiao wanted to ask her to sit down, but she thought that she must be beaten and bruised, so she didn't dare to touch her for fear of hurting her.
He had no choice but to half hug and half support her before saying, "When your father came to see me, I saw that his hair was messy and his clothes were dirty..."
Before Ye Qiaoqiao could finish her words, Li Runrun had already grabbed her hand. How could she not be worried and anxious after learning about her father's condition?
Ye Qiaoqiao hurriedly said, "Your hand is still injured. Stop using so much force. Let go. Don't worry. Your father is fine."
Li Runrun no longer felt the pain. Compared to the anxiety in her heart, the pain was nothing. Besides, there was no part of her body that didn't hurt.
Ye Qiaoqiao quickly added, "I asked him and found out that he had gone to look for Big Brother when he saw you hadn't returned for a long time. But didn't I tell you that Big Brother was in the palace?"
Li Ruanruan understood a little: "Yes, Peony?"
In the East Courtyard, Haitang treated her very well, but Shaoyao was very against her. If she could drive her away, she could naturally drive her father away as well.
Ye Qiaoqiao nodded, her teeth gnashing in anger. "It was Shaoyao who brought people to beat your father out. I think he must have said some nasty things. It's a pity I wasn't there at the time, otherwise I would have slapped her mouth to pieces. Let's see if Big Brother blames her or me when he comes back."
Li Runrun could also think of some of Shaoyao's abusive words, but they were just those few sentences.
Who is a low-ranking servant? How dare he come to the prince's courtyard and dirty it for no reason?
Li Runrun felt a dull pain in her heart, as if countless sharp blades were cutting her heart and body, making her eyes bloodshot.
The life of a low-class slave is not a life. A low-class slave should be despised and deserve to die.
But she, a lowly servant, became the prince's concubine. Isn't that ridiculous?
Is she the one who is ridiculous, or are they?
Li Ruanruan covered her chest and actually spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ye Qiaoqiao was terrified and pale with fear.
"Soft! Soft!"
Li Runrun endured the blackening in front of her eyes and forced herself to wake up. She couldn't faint yet. She still had a lot of things to do. She didn't know where her father was and whether her brother was alive or dead.
She couldn't faint, she had to live. The more they suppressed her, the more she had to live tenaciously and become a thorn in everyone's eyes.
Let them see that she is dazzling, but they cannot get rid of her completely.
No one should have an easy time.
Li Ruanruan clutched her chest, which was aching and suffocating. She looked at Ye Qiaoqiao, her voice too hoarse to speak. She could only whisper, "Do you know where my daddy is? I want to... go find... my daddy."
