Chapter 21: Petty



"Miss, the lady has sent someone to invite you over," Sixian said as she walked back into the house.

Jiang Ranli frowned when she heard that. She had never had much presence in the Ninth Prince's mansion, and the wife and the concubines had never paid any attention to her. Why did they send someone to invite her today?

"Miss, please wash up and come over. It would be bad to keep the lady waiting for too long," Sidai walked in with a basin of water.

"Okay." Even if she didn't want to go out, Jiang Ranli had to accept her fate. After all, she was nominally the Ninth Prince's concubine, so she had to obey the orders of the legitimate wife.

Yinzhen quietly opened his eyes to look at Jiang Ranli who was getting dressed. When he saw this, he almost rolled off the couch, his heart filled with shock.

Because he was going to meet the concubine and the group of beautiful girls, Jiang Ranli, with the help of Sixian and Sidai, dressed up again to look burly and strong, and there were more pockmarks on his face, which looked shocking.

Hearing the footsteps gradually fading away, Yinzhen opened his eyes again. He thought about what he had just seen and heard, his brows furrowed.

Jiang Ranli quickly arrived at the front hall of the mansion. In the past, whenever she came here, she could hear the chattering of women in the hall from a distance, but today it was extremely quiet.

"Miss, why is it so quiet today?" Si Xian also noticed the difference.

"Miss, could it be that the Lady discovered that we sneaked out of the house?" Sidai remembered what happened when she met the group of digital legions yesterday and became scared.

Jiang Ranli looked up at them, signaling them to calm down, and then walked into the hall to pay her respects to Dong E, "I pay my respects to Madam Madam, may Madam Madam live long and healthily."

What happened? Why is it so quiet?

After waiting for a long time and seeing that Mrs. Dong E did not let her stand up, Jiang Ranli's originally calm heart became confused, but she did not dare to look up, because this was the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty with a strict hierarchical system.

The hall was quiet. There were more than twenty well-dressed women sitting or standing on both sides. At this moment, all the women were looking at Jiang Ranli in the center of the hall, with the same sympathy, pity and ridicule in their eyes.

"Miss, Master Jiu is here too."

Seeing that their young lady did not pay her respects to Yinzhen who was sitting in the main seat for a long time, Sixian and Sidai could not help but remind her in a low voice.

Hearing this, Jiang Ranli felt like thunder rumbled in her mind, causing her to stagger and almost fall.

No wonder the hall was so quiet today, and no wonder my wife didn’t tell me to stand up. It turned out that it was because Yinzhen was here.

Jiang Ranli finally understood the whole story and quickly said, "Your servant greets you, my lord. May your majesty be blessed with good health."

When Jiang Ranli said these words, she felt extremely uncomfortable. The hierarchy of feudal society made her feel at a loss. She didn't want to be so servile all day long, but she had to do so in order to survive.

"Master, you are busy with all kinds of affairs every day. The concubine has not seen you since she entered the mansion. I think she did not recognize you just now, which is why she was impolite. Please forgive her," the voice of Concubine Dong E rang out.

Listening to the gentle and generous voice of Concubine Dong E, Jiang Ranli felt that it was more pleasant and beautiful than any other sound in the world. At the same time, he was cursing Yin'er in his heart for being pretentious, petty, and using chicken feathers as a token of authority, saying that he was the prince and that he was so great.

What do you mean I didn't recognize him? I didn't even notice that there was such a person like him in the hall. It's just that I didn't see him and didn't greet him. Was it necessary for me to squat for so long that my legs were numb?
