Chapter 142 I Have Conditions
When Shangguan Yao walked in, she saw Zhang Ruru sitting down in the main seat with the help of a maid. The last time they met was at Yunwu Manor. She looked at Zhang Ruru, who was rounder than last time, and cast her eyes downwards, taking a few more glances at her bulging belly.
"Sit down." Zhang Ruruo said with a faint smile.
Shangguan Yao looked around the room before sitting down in the armchair on the left.
She had no connection with Zhang Ruru and didn't even know her. If it weren't for Madam Xue's close relationship with Jiang, and if Qin Junyi hadn't mentioned this person, she wouldn't have noticed Zhang Ruru at all.
"Why did you call me here?" Shangguan Yao looked at Zhang Ruru who was sitting in the main seat and asked softly.
"Could it be that what I wrote in the letter wasn't clear enough?" Zhang Ruru leaned on the table, staring at Shangguan Yao with a smile: "But since Miss Shangguan is here, she should understand why I asked you to come."
Shangguan Yao thought about the contents of the letter and raised her eyebrows. "You help me get rid of the person I hate the most. In exchange, I have to do you a favor?"
"Yes." While speaking, Zhang Ruru glanced at the maid beside her.
The maid understood and went out.
Seeing this, Xueqing looked at Shangguan Yao and followed her out.
The moment the door was closed, the atmosphere in the room became a little weird.
Shangguan Yao was actually very wary of Zhang Ruru. She said, "Do you know who I hate the most?"
"Xie Rongying." Zhang Ruru smiled slightly. Seeing that Shangguan Yao's expression didn't change much, she raised an eyebrow: "Isn't it Xie Rongying?"
Shangguan Yao inexplicably felt that this Zhang Ruru was different from the one she had seen before, or perhaps she had never known this person at all.
She became interested and asked, "How do you deal with her?"
"You don't have to worry about that." Zhang Ruru changed her posture and said leisurely, "I just need to help you deal with her, that's all."
Seeing that Zhang Ruru could say this, Shangguan Yao became curious about what she needed her help with.
"So what are you going to ask me to help you with?"
Zhang Ruru stared at Shangguan Yao, as if she was brewing what she was going to say. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "On the day of my delivery, you will stay with me."
Hearing this, Shangguan Yao's faint smile froze, and her eyes became serious: "What did you say?"
"I said you would come and keep watch over me on the day I give birth," Zhang Ruruo repeated.
Shangguan Yao sat up straight and looked at Zhang Ruru seriously, especially at her bulging belly. After a long while, she asked doubtfully, "You want me to guard for you? Why? I'm from the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, not the Jiang family. Even if I were from the Jiang family, what status do I have to guard for you?"
At this time, Zhang Ruru stood up and walked in front of Shangguan Yao.
"What are you going to do?" Shangguan Yao stared at Zhang Ruruo warily. "I'm telling you, when I came to your place, I told Qin Junyi that if anything happens to me here, Qin Junyi will not let you go."
Zhang Ruruo smiled and grabbed Shangguan Yao's hand and touched her bulging belly.
Shangguan Yao was about to scream when she saw something fall to the ground, and Zhang Ruru's stomach instantly became flat.
Shangguan Yao looked at the pile of unknown stuff dropped on the ground in shock and immediately stood up. She wanted to walk away but Zhang Ruruo held her wrist tightly.
"Since you're here, I assume you've agreed to my request. I also promise to help you get rid of the people you hate." Zhang Ruru firmly grasped Shangguan Yao's hand. "After you get rid of Xie Rongying, you'll become the head mistress of the Yongyi Marquis's residence. When the months are long, I'll find a time and an excuse to visit you to relax."
"I gave birth at the Yongyi Marquis's residence. You covered it for me."
Shangguan Yao struggled hard to get free, quickly walked to the side, and stared at Zhang Ruruo coldly: "Do you know what you are saying? You are not pregnant at all, and yet you asked me to lie to you together?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruruo casually picked up a piece of stuff on the ground and sat down where Shangguan Yao had just sat.
He lifted up his robe and skillfully tied the thing to his stomach.
Shangguan Yao looked at Zhang Ruruo, who had become pregnant again, and slowly calmed down: "Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
"Exposed?" Zhang Ruru sneered, "They went to so much trouble to bring me out of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion because they heard from the wife of the Marquis of Yongyi that I was pregnant. After bringing me here, the doctor they invited to check my pulse confirmed that I was pregnant."
At this point, Zhang Ruru was practically in a frenzy. "They were so convinced I was pregnant with Jiang Yin's child that they hid me here. Hearing the news that the Duke of Ying's mansion had been destroyed, I don't know if I should be thankful to be alive, but now that things have come to this, I must live well."
"Since the Jiang family believes that I am pregnant, then I am pregnant."
As Zhang Ruru spoke, she quickly regained her composure. She glanced fiercely at Shangguan Yao and said, "From today on, you and I will be friends, and I will help you take the position of mistress of the Yongyi Marquis's residence."
Shangguan Yao heard this and forced a smile: "I don't want to get involved in your affairs, and I won't tell anyone. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, Shangguan Yao walked straight to the door.
Zhang Ruru didn't stop her. She stared at Shangguan Yao's back and said, "Do you think Xie Rongying will let you and Qin Junyi go? Do you know who killed Jiang and my aunt?"
As she spoke, she walked to Shangguan Yao's side and said meaningfully, "You know that their deaths were all caused by Xie Rongying, but what does it matter? You can't find evidence to prove that it was Xie Rongying, including your brother this time. You know everything, but you can't do anything."
"Even Qin Junyi still wants to rely on Xie Rongying."
Shangguan Yao's face froze, and she stared at Zhang Ruru who was walking in front of her.
"Your father and your brother are unable to help you at all," Zhang Ruruo said, her hand caressing Shangguan Yao's flat belly. "Don't you want to avenge your unborn child? Don't you want to vent your anger for your brother who fell into the hands of the King of Wei?"
"We are in the same boat. Helping me is also helping yourself. Now only I can completely help you get rid of Xie Rongying."
"Trust me."
Shangguan Yao's pupils shrank slightly when she heard these words. She stared at Zhang Ruru and asked, "How are you going to get rid of Xie Rongying?"
"Don't worry about that." Zhang Ruru's lips curled up: "Just watch the show today."
Shangguan Yao also regained her composure and said, "As long as you can do it, I can do it too."
"In that case, I won't see you off." Zhang Ruru's smile deepened. She took Shangguan Yao's hand and said, "Because of my identity, the Jiang family won't let me go out, so I'm in the dark, and Xie Rongying is in the light. She's on the Jiang family's territory, so she's at the Jiang family's mercy."
Shangguan Yao withdrew her hand and said, "Then I'll wait and see."
