Ren Jiayu had just worked as an embroiderer in the official embroidery bureau for a few days, but she already seemed to be a bit domineering.
Although she no longer had royal status, servants to serve her, followers, or bodyguards who obeyed her orders, her crimes and punishments were clearly different from those of other prisoners, which still frightened the other female embroiderers who were also serving time for very minor crimes.
As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that Xuanyuan Huaiyu spent money to take care of things, and the maids in charge had already found out that although Ren Jiayu's status had been changed, her status as the biological son and grandson of the emperor remained, and the three and five princes only had this one son.
Regardless of whether the Fifth Prince would have any more children in the future, the Third Prince's lineage would definitely only have this one son. This grandson would definitely inherit the title in the future. If he offended his mother now...
The maids also received an order from the head aunt in the palace to ensure that Ren Jiayu would go to the border safely after a year and a half. Moreover, they had received money from the fifth prince, so they were even more happy to do him a favor.
So, as the maids in charge of the official embroidery bureau turned a blind eye and always showed favoritism to Ren Jiayu, Ren Jiayu soon began to bully other embroiderers.
She began to have other embroiderers taking turns to serve her, to have followers, and to have "thugs". She began to bully other embroiderers who refused to pay attention to her or submitted to her.
There was already an embroiderer whose face was swollen like a pig's head from being beaten, and another had two nails pulled out. The manager turned a blind eye, so they could only agree that from now on, they would rush to embroider Ren Jiayu's daily quota... until Ren Jiayu took a liking to someone else and maybe replaced him...
Sun Yanan thought: It’s better to let her out early to prevent her from causing trouble to her father and brother. Her father and brother are stubborn and can handle it.
Ren Jiayu was suddenly released and asked to go to the border immediately to reunite with her father and brother. She was not allowed to stay in the capital, and Xuanyuan Huaiyu calmly accepted the separation from her, which made Ren Jiayu feel a little upset.
She thought Xuanyuan Huaiyu would confront Xuanyuan Hao because of her, but he just accepted the order calmly.
But perhaps it was because Xuanyuan Huaiyu had always protected him regardless of whether they had been married before, so she changed her mind and felt that as long as anything happened to her, he would still be the same as before, so she decided to separate as ordered.
Things are unpredictable. She still has a son. Maybe it is only a matter of time before she regains her imperial decree and royal status.
She saw that Xuanyuan Huaiyu had always treated her and the Third Prince's child as his own, had even given her money to offset a year's labor for her, and had later taken care of the official embroidery bureau for her. Now that she had been released and was going to the border, Xuanyuan Huaiyu had also arranged for all her belongings and escorts. Although he was so calm about their separation, he was still doing everything for her good, wasn't he? So what did it matter?
Although in Ren Jiayu's heart Xuanyuan Huaiyu is still the young man who was loyal to her in the past, Xuanyuan Huaiyu clearly realized that he may have lost his feelings for Ren Jiayu a long time ago.
When Wang Xipei wanted to divorce him, he couldn't explain why, but he just refused to do so, no matter what. So he stubbornly went against the Wang family, his mother, and even his father. Even after Wang Xipei committed suicide, he still refused to let go. It was also his father who issued an order. Although he had no other choice, he still kept trying to win Wang Xipei back, wanted to keep her by his side, and even imprisoned her. At that time, he couldn't see clearly himself, and still habitually put his sister Ren Jiayu first...
Now that he has lost Ren Jiayu, he no longer tosses and turns day and night, unable to sleep, nor does he constantly recall the pain of the past. Instead, he feels a sense of calmness and the thought that this is also okay.
Xuanyuan Huaiyu even wondered if he had separated from Ren Jiayu earlier, would he have been able to win Wang Xipei back? He remembered Xipei's words, saying she wasn't a concubine. He felt he would never forget the sight of her, hairpin in hand, saying those words, smiling calmly, and then committing suicide right before him. Countless times in his dreams, he'd seen the torture and contempt he'd inflicted on her, and the pain was heartbreaking, both in his dreams and after waking.
Wang Xipei's courtyard had always been well-preserved, and no one was allowed to touch it. When Wang Xipei married him, he didn't allow her to enter his courtyard or study. His guards even forced Wang Xipei, the mistress, to stay in her courtyard when Ren Jiayu came...
Now he doesn't allow anyone to touch Wang Xipei's yard. Except for himself and the people who clean the yard, he doesn't even allow anyone, including Ren Jiayu, to get close to the yard.
He just often walked in alone, sat there and looked at her, thinking of the first two years after she married him, when she used to talk and laugh with him, bow to him and call him husband, and the radiance and smile on her face when she looked up at him. It hurt so much, it hurt so much, how could he have lost such a Wang Xipei?
After she committed suicide, she lay unconscious in bed. He had held her tightly countless times, and she had become so emaciated... He had let her down. In the past few years, in addition to guarding the East and West Camps, he had spent every day off duty tracking down news about Wang Xipei, and he had long since drifted apart from Ren Jiayu.
Xuanyuan Huaiyu felt that his youth was over, and he was relieved to receive the imperial decree and separate. However, he still instructed the guards and servants to take good care of Ren Jiayu and send her to the frontier. Their relationship was truly over.
He even had a vague hope in his heart. If he remarried Wang Xipei with the ceremony of a principal wife and with great fanfare, would she turn back? She was no longer a concubine. She could do whatever she wanted. Could she turn back?
Different from Xuanyuan Huaiyu, Ren Jiayu still set out for the border with the confidence that she was devoted to the Fifth Prince.
After arriving at the border, when she heard her father, brothers and two others say that Ling Ruofei had asked for help, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Seeing these three people eager to take credit for Ling Ruofei, she became very angry.
What an idiot! She's driving herself to death! I'm here to order a coffin for this idiot woman! Looking for Sun Yannan? Hahaha, just as stupid as her. That idiot whose happiness is so annoying, I'll give her a coffin sooner or later. Are these two trying to come to me and pretend to be my benefactors? To curry favor with me? This is hilarious! No wonder idiots are all friends.
