Looking at Dong E who was crying miserably, Yinzhen narrowed his eyes.
Whenever he thought about how Jiang Ranli almost died more than three years ago, whenever he thought about the hardships Jiang Ranli had to endure in Jinan City, whenever he thought about how the little boy had to grow up to be three years old before he was able to see his biological father, whenever he thought about Jiang Ranli's bloody body and swollen cheeks just now, Yinzhen wished he could take Dong E's life.
However, he couldn't. First of all, the marriage to Dong E was arranged by Emperor Kangxi himself. Secondly, the Eighth Prince needed many forces to plan something. He could expose all the evil things Dong E had done in the past, and Dong E would be punished, but if that happened, the Eighth Prince would lose the support of the Dong E family.
Although he didn't want to think about it, Yinzhen couldn't ignore it.
"Fujin Dong'e's words and deeds are inappropriate, so she is punished by being confined to her room to reflect on her mistakes. She must pray to the Buddha by the green lamp every day and must not make any mistakes. Without the master's order, she is not allowed to step out of this yard."
After saying this, Yinzhen waved his sleeves and left, leaving Dong E with a tall and slender figure.
"Fujin, please get up quickly. The ground is cold. It will be bad if you get hurt." Qingmei saw Yinzhen leaving and hurriedly got up to help Dong E up from the ground.
Dong E stared blankly at the direction where Yinzhen left, her face without the delicate makeup showing pain and anger.
"Anjia Qingwan, just wait for me. I will repay you double for the humiliation you suffered today in the future."
The news that Dong E was under house arrest quickly spread throughout the Ninth Prince's mansion, and the women in the backyard gathered together for a heated discussion.
"What is the background of that concubine? She has treated us like this many times before, but I have never seen the master punish her like this."
"That concubine is the daughter of Lord Anjia. More than three years ago, the Emperor personally arranged for her to be married into the mansion. At that time, she pretended to be fat and ugly. No one knew what happened in between. In short, I haven't seen her in the mansion for more than three years. At that time, people said that she was locked up in the yard by the Emperor, but it seems that is not the case."
"We don't know the specific situation, but one thing is for sure, that concubine is my master's new favorite. Everyone should be careful and not bring bad luck upon her."
. . .
Yin'er's action was to punish Dong E, but Jiang Ranli's life did not get better, but became even more miserable.
Since the first day Dong E was under house arrest, the women in the backyard began to find various excuses to see Jiang Ranli, but they were hanging around Jiang Ranli all day long, leaving Jiang Ranli with no time for herself, which made her very helpless.
"Concubine, Princess Tong wants to see you."
Qiu Die came into the room to deliver a message, her pretty little face full of helplessness.
Seeing her appearance, Jiang Ranli asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"To answer the question, Concubine Madam, the masters in the backyard have been taking turns coming to you all day today as if they had agreed. I thought Concubine Madam could finally have a rest, but Tong Gege came again," Qiu Die replied with a frown.
Seeing how she cared about herself, Jiang Ranli smiled, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart. If Qiu Die wasn't Yinzhen's person, she would really be a rare girl. However, she didn't quite believe her yet.
"It's okay. Tong Gege and I are old acquaintances. It's been several days and this is her first time here. You can invite her in."
If it was someone else who came at this time, Jiang Ranli would definitely not meet him, but the person who came was Tong, who was humiliated with her in Chen Mansion that year.
