After some talk and commotion, the matter was finally over. Jiang Ranli returned to the mansion with Yin'er. As usual, Dong E brought everyone in the mansion to welcome them grandly at the mansion gate.
Ever since Jiang Ranli left that day, Dong E's life seemed to be out of control. Something would happen to the women in the backyard from time to time, making her exhausted.
Thinking of the subtle sarcasm from Zhao Jia and Chen yesterday, Dong E clenched her fists. She used to be able to get whatever she wanted in this mansion, but now those women often ignored her and would bring up old events from time to time, which made her terrified.
Looking at Jiang Ranli who got off the carriage with Yinzhen, Dong E wanted to bite her teeth to pieces. It was obvious that Minyan and Hongzheng were poisoned, but the little boy did not send any news that anything was wrong. Moreover, Jiang Ranli discovered the fact that she had poisoned them, and became more distant and wary of her.
Seeing Yinzhen getting closer, Dong E quickly withdrew her gaze from Jiang Ranli, adjusted her mood, and greeted Yinzhen with an exceptionally beautiful and gentle smile.
"Master Jiu, you're back. How was your journey? Is there anything wrong?"
Yinzhen held Jiang Ranli's hand. In the past, Jiang Ranli would never agree to be so intimate with Yinzhen in front of so many people, especially in front of Dong E, because she wanted to live a peaceful life in this mansion.
But after going through some things, she found that if she wanted to survive and stay with Yinzhen, peace and tranquility would not exist at all. So, she decided not to hide anything anymore, because no matter whether she hid it or not, everyone knew that the person Yinzhen cared about the most was her.
This was also what Yin'er meant. He didn't need Jiang Ranli to be on good terms with the many women in the mansion, and he didn't want Jiang Ranli to be coveted by many women. He wanted everyone to know, and know more clearly, that the woman he, Aisin Gioro Yin'er, loved and cared about the most in his life was Jiang Ranli. No one was allowed to bully, harm, or humiliate her, not even the legitimate wife.
"Let's all go back home."
Yinzhen took Jiang Ranli's hand and walked directly past Dong E who was walking up to him and came in front of the many women.
The women looked at Dong E, who was ignored by Yin'er, with a sarcastic smile in their hearts and eyes. No one sympathized with her situation. There was nothing they could do about it, because she had done so many things that were outrageous to both humans and gods in the past.
In this deep mansion, a man's favor is very important, but that favor must be enjoyed by someone alive. In the past, if Yinzhen even looked at a woman for one more moment, he would become the target of Dong E's attack. In this situation, many women in the mansion were abused by her. Therefore, when she made a fool of herself at this moment, almost everyone was happy to see it.
Of course, they mocked Dong E, but they didn't necessarily like Jiang Ranli, because Jiang Ranli's appearance took away all of Yin'er's attention and occupied every inch of his heart. Those women therefore had a lot of resentment and dissatisfaction with her, but Yin'er's protection of her was almost airtight, and they didn't have Min Yan and Hong Zheng around them to use, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
Dong E was left behind by everyone in the mansion. She looked at the people who walked into the mansion and at Jiang Ranli walking hand in hand with Yinzhen, her eyes full of bloodshot.
According to past custom, when Yinzhen returned from a long journey, the mansion would hold a welcoming banquet for him. Dong E arranged everything, but Yinzhen didn't care at all.
