Chapter 97 Help Her Vent
They chatted for a while, and then Mrs. Xu stood up, and Mrs. Hou hurriedly stood up to see her off.
After a while, the Marquis's wife returned, glanced at Li Ruanruan, and said, "You're quite clever. You know what's going on. It's just that you don't have a good family background. If you were like her, with a father who serves as the Prime Minister, an aunt like the Empress as your backer, a cousin as distinguished as the Crown Prince, and a brother who is a promising top scholar, everyone would treat you with kindness."
Li Ruanruan lowered her head, looking very docile. "It is a blessing for me to serve the prince. In order for the prince to successfully marry his ideal wife, I have no complaints or grievances. It is my duty to make the prince's future wife feel at ease."
The Marquis's wife nodded with satisfaction and offered a few words of comfort: "Today I am merely going through the motions. The future Crown Prince's wife is a very good-natured person. As long as you behave yourself, I'm sure she won't be harsh on you. The Crown Prince only has one concubine. If you behave yourself, she won't be against you for the sake of her reputation."
"I will remember this."
"In that case, Nanny Wang, take her back and call the palace physician for treatment. I'll put it on my bill."
"yes."
Nanny Wang bowed and saluted. Li Ruanruan supported herself on the ground and stood up. She was a little unsteady, so Nanny Wang pulled her up.
He pushed her forward without caring that the blood on her knee was already clotted and covered with broken porcelain pieces.
This Nanny Wang is not the same as the previous one, but I think they are related.
That can be considered a grudge. After all, Nanny Wang, who was by the previous marquis's side, was sent down by the prince because of her.
Li Runrun endured the severe pain and returned to the East Courtyard. Her face was pale, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her vision was black.
Li Bai was waiting anxiously outside the east courtyard gate. When she saw her come back, she hurried forward to support her, and even pushed away Nanny Wang, who was obviously not a good person.
Nanny Wang was treated so unreasonably by a maid that she spat and turned away without calling the palace doctor.
Why invite a palace physician? Could it be that the Marquis' wife really likes this concubine, but the Crown Prince doesn't allow it, otherwise she would have dealt with her in order to welcome the Crown Prince's wife.
If the prince hadn't protected her, this concubine would have had a bad ending.
I guess when the prince’s wife comes home, she will be the first one who can’t tolerate her.
I'm afraid Li Runrun won't live for many days. Why bother treating her? Her life is worthless and precious.
By then, she would have avenged her poor sister.
Nanny Wang was about to leave but paused again. She went to the court doctor and got a bottle of hemostatic powder. She left and found an empty corner.
He added a lot of ground salt powder into it and smiled maliciously.
He put on airs and handed it to Li Ruanruan: "The mistress specially asked me to go to the palace doctor to get you some hemostatic powder. Use it quickly."
Li Bai was carefully picking out the broken porcelain pieces from Li Ruanruan's wound when she turned around after hearing this.
Li Ruanruan was prepared. She pulled the quilt over the wound and said to Li Bai, "Thank you, Nanny Wang, and send her off."
Li Bai stood up and was about to do as she was told, but Nanny Wang raised her hand and said, "The mistress has instructed me to use it personally. Otherwise, it would seem that the mistress is being harsh on you."
If you use this on her, do you think she's a fool?
Nanny Wang lifted the quilt and was about to pour a hemostatic medicine mixed with a large amount of salt powder onto Li Ruanruan's wound.
Li Runrun gave Li Bai a look, and Li Bai immediately stopped her. While pushing and shoving with Nanny Wang, the medicine bottle fell to the ground.
Li Ruanruan got out of bed and picked it up. She poured some into her palm, sniffed it, and tasted it with her tongue. "It's salty. There must be a lot of salt in it. I'm sorry for the trouble you put in. When the prince comes back, I will tell him the truth about what Madam did."
Nanny Wang was obviously frightened, and then she said, "What's salty or sweet? This is the hemostatic medicine given by the court doctor!"
"In that case, let's find the palace doctor to confront him."
"The concubine did this all by herself, and she wants to frame me. Is she trying to sow discord between the mistress and the prince? What a vicious heart! I will definitely report this to the mistress."
Li Ruanruan shouted directly, "Haitang! Tie her up for me. I want to see if you still have a chance to report back."
When Haitang saw that it was the Marquis's wife's man, she hesitated for a moment.
Li Ruanruan said sternly: "Tie her up, otherwise the whole East Courtyard will suffer. Do you want to be punished again?"
Haitang then took people to tie up Nanny Wang.
Li Runrun was tied up and gagged, then thrown into a corner and left alone. She wrapped the cut on her knee with a white cloth.
When Ye Yunchu came back, Haitang came forward and said, "The concubine is injured. I want you to come over and take a look."
Ye Yunchu was originally in a good mood, but now he paused and looked at Haitang: "What's going on?"
Haitang reported back, "Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu came to the Marquis's residence this morning, and the Marquis's wife called in the maid to set the rules."
Ye Yunchu understood immediately.
Haitang continued, "The Marquis's wife asked Nanny Wang to send the concubine back. Nanny Wang had mixed salt powder into the hemostatic powder. She also deliberately framed the concubine to sow discord between you and the Marquis' wife. She was tied up by the concubine and is now waiting for you to come back and deal with her."
Ye Yunchu's eyes turned cold: "This old fellow."
Then he went to the ear room.
Li Ruanruan saw him coming and hurriedly stood up to greet him, but Ye Yunchu had already stepped forward and sat down in front of the bed, holding her hand: "Don't move, I know what happened."
After a pause, he said, "I think it was Madam Xu's idea. I'm sorry to have wronged you."
Li Ruanruan lowered her head, then shook it. She lowered her head, thinking that the prince might like Xu Wan very much, which is why he spoke to her in this way.
The Marquis's wife was also his mother, and he would not contradict her for her. He just brushed it off with a light-hearted remark about his grievance.
In fact, she shouldn't be sad, she should be grateful.
She lowered her head and became more silent.
Ye Yunchu was silent for a moment, then said, "This woman is abominable. She actually dared to add salt powder to the medicine your mother gave you, and even tried to frame you and sow discord. Come, bring me my whip."
Haitang quickly handed over the whip, and Ye Yunchu grabbed it and put it into Li Runrun's hand.
He picked her up and sat her on his lap, facing outside.
He rested his head on her shoulder and whispered softly, "Can you use a whip?"
With just a glance from him, the secret guards had already brought the hateful nanny to them.
Nanny Wang's eyes were full of fear as she kowtowed to Ye Yunchu, but Ye Yunchu only had doting for Li Runrun in his eyes, and he looked at Nanny Wang with indifference, as if he was looking at an ant.
Ye Yunchu held Li's soft hand and swung a whip quickly. Along with the sound of breaking air, bloody wounds on Wang Ma's body were seen, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Li Runrun subconsciously tightened her grip on the whip. The prince's whip was indeed much better than hers.
The force of this whip was so deep that you could see the bone. It was much more powerful than the one she used to hit Nanny Song.
