Thinking of that, Jiang Ranli's eyes darkened, and then he looked up at Dong E who was explaining something on the side.
Although Concubine Yi was not particularly close to Jiang Ranli in the past, she was not as displeased with her as she was today. Moreover, her words made Jiang Ranli a little confused, but after listening to Dong E's so-called explanation, she understood.
I think Dong E must have said something in front of Concubine Yi. For example, regarding the issue of offspring, Dong E's answer should not be that Jiang Ranli would soon give birth to a little prince for Yin'er, but that Jiang Ranli was pestering Yin'er every day and asked him not to go to Dong E.
For example, Concubine Yi's warning must have been because Dong E said that Jiang Ran was quite corrupt and fabricated some false charges against her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ranli raised her red lips slightly, and a smile appeared on her delicate and fair face, making her look particularly dazzling and beautiful.
"Fujin, there are some things I don't quite understand."
Dong E was momentarily distracted by Jiang Ranli like this. Even though she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that Jiang Ranli was indeed dazzling and outstanding. Those clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts were even more dazzling.
After a moment of hesitation, Dong E regained her composure and said, "Sister, what is there that you don't understand?"
Jiang Ranli did not answer immediately. Instead, she smiled, gathered the hair by her ears, lowered her eyes to look at the sleeping little ball, and then said, "Mother told me not to do shameful things anymore. I think I have always done things upright and openly, and I have no regrets in my conscience or in front of others. Therefore, I really don't understand what mother means, so I hope Madam can enlighten me."
Hearing this, Dong E's expression changed, but soon returned to normal. She knew that Jiang Ranli said this because he must have guessed the reason.
After calming herself down, Dong E tried to appear calm and said, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, sister. I don't know what you mean."
Jiang Ranli smiled and felt that Dong E's willpower was really extraordinary.
"Does Fu Jin like to listen to stories?" Jiang Ranli asked after a pause.
Dong E was originally organizing her words to respond to Jiang Ranli's questioning, but she didn't expect Jiang Ranli to ask whether she liked to listen to stories.
Surprised, Dong E was stunned for a moment, but she came back to her senses in just a few seconds and nodded.
Seeing her nod, Jiang Ranli gently told a story. This story was different from the fairy tales she had told before. It was a ghost story.
After hearing this, Dong E's face turned pale.
After the last word fell, Jiang Ranli smiled and said, "Fujin, what do you think of this story?"
Dong E didn't say anything, but her childhood sweetheart spoke first, saying to Jiang Ranli unhappily, "Concubine's wife, our concubine has always been virtuous and gentle, don't tell her such scary stories to scare her."
Hearing this, Jiang Ranli glanced at Qingmei, "Even if I am just a concubine, I am also a legitimate master. Who are you? How dare you make up stories about me and alienate the relationship between me and the concubine?"
Qingmei spoke in a harsh voice, with displeasure and contempt on her face. She even said that Jiang Ranli was trying to scare Dong E. In fact, this statement could be a big deal or a small one, but Jiang Ranli didn't want to make a big deal out of a small matter.
After hearing what Jiang Ranli said, Qingmei's face did not show any fear. She just said indifferently, "The concubine has misunderstood. I have never fabricated anything about you. I have no intention of slandering the relationship between you and the concubine."
