Jiang Ranli didn't say anything, her brain was working rapidly, and soon she guessed the reason.
Dong E's brother made a lot of money in the capital under the banner of Yinzhen. Because the matter was too serious, it was reported to the court. Dong E wanted to offend her brother, which made him even more angry.
Thinking about what happened in the mansion these days, Jiang Ranli still didn't understand why Yinzhen wanted her to accompany him. After all, her current appearance was so ugly. Wasn't he embarrassed?
"Miss, are you going tomorrow?" Si Xian asked.
"Go," Jiang Ranli nodded heavily.
In fact, even if she didn't want to go, she couldn't refuse. After all, she was living under someone else's roof now, so she had to work hard and be willing to do so.
However, Jiang Ranli was very willing to go to Yinzhen's mansion so that she could see him.
The next day.
Since the banquet in Yinzhen's mansion was not held until the evening, Jiang Ranli took the time to go to the snack shop and returned to the Ninth Prince's mansion before dusk.
Not long after she arrived at the mansion, Eunuch Chang Shun came over and urged her to leave.
"Concubine, the Ninth Master is already waiting at the door. Is everything ready on your side?" Chang Shun asked respectfully.
"It's ready. Please lead the way, sir. Let's set off now to avoid keeping Master Jiu waiting anxiously."
Jiang Ranli had a particularly good impression of Chang Shun. Unlike those people in the mansion, he looked down on her because of her ugly appearance. Instead, he was very polite to her.
"Thank you for being so polite, Concubine. It is my duty to lead the way for you. Please come this way, Concubine," Chang Shun said, making a gesture of invitation.
Following Chang Shun all the way to the mansion gate, Yinzhen was already standing there. He was wearing a dark gray uniform with auspicious cloud patterns, which made his posture look tall and slender, and his demeanor even more extraordinary.
Watching from afar, Jiang Ranli couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Couldn't such a charming and dazzling man have a heart that matched his face?
Yinzhen looked at the person approaching, his brows furrowed, and his captivating eyes were filled with impatience.
"Good luck to Master Jiu," Jiang Ranli saluted him, but his mind was filled with other thoughts.
Why are you frowning so tightly now? What were you doing before? Do you think I want to see you?
"Are you alone? Where's the maid?" Yinzhen frowned and looked at the burly man in front of him with pockmarks on his face.
"In reply to Master Jiu, the two maids by my side have caught a cold. It is a big deal for me to accompany you to Master Si's residence to congratulate you, and the people who are going there are all nobles. I am worried that they will bring the disease and disturb the nobles, so I did not let them come."
Jiang Ranli lowered her eyes and said the excuse she had prepared long ago. Yin'er had seen Sixian and Sidai and knew that they were Jiang Ranli's maids, but her current identity was Anjia Qingwan, so he must not see them, otherwise the truth would be revealed.
Yin'er frowned even deeper. "You know that going to Fourth Brother's house to congratulate him is a big deal, but you still came alone. What's the matter? Do you think I'm not ashamed enough? You want others to not only ridicule me for marrying you as a concubine, but also want others to ridicule me for being mean and narrow-minded and not even giving you a maid?"
Hearing his words, Jiang Ranli clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves into fists. If she wasn't afraid of losing her life if she beat him up, she would make sure that this guy in front of her would not see the sun tomorrow.
"Master Jiu, there are only two maids serving the concubine," Chang Shun spoke at the right time.
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen glanced at Jiang Ranli and snorted coldly, "It seems that I didn't give you a maid."
"Fu Jin was originally given to me as a maid and a servant, but I felt that I was ugly and it would be a pity to have the maid and the servant follow me, so I didn't want them," Jiang Ranli suppressed the anger in her heart and looked at Yinzhen calmly.
