Chapter 424 She is so cruel
Hearing Shen Yanyu's question, Xie Zhuoning immediately put on a smile that confused everyone, "Look at what Concubine Shen said, how could I take anyone's life lightly? Whose life was I taking lightly?"
Shen Yanyu raised her hand and pointed, "Just now, the maid next to you..."
"I have only had one maid, Song Lan, by my side from beginning to end. There are no other maids. Song Lan, is there anyone who came with you?"
Song Lanbolan knelt calmly, "Madam, I am the only one with you."
Shen Yanyu immediately understood that she was covering the sky with one hand!
His lips trembled for a moment, "How dare you...how dare you..."
Xie Zhuoning waved the dagger and laughed again, "Concubine Shen, you come from a wealthy family, you don't know how hard it is for us little people to make a living. If you make me angry, I can do anything. Anyway, it's a good deal to exchange my life for the lives of you nobles. So I advise you, don't think of using those little tricks to deal with me, I will have something more ruthless waiting for you."
After saying that, she picked up the teacup that Shen Yanyu had specially prepared for her.
After such a delay, the tea had cooled down a little. She separated the leaves and took a sip. It was just the right temperature.
After drinking, she put the cup back and said with a smile, "If Concubine Shen has nothing else to say, I will take my leave now."
After saying this, she turned around and left, not caring whether anyone responded or not.
After everyone left, Shen Yanyu could no longer sit still and collapsed on the chair, her voice filled with tears, "Madame Gui, she is so cruel, she is so cruel..."
The most cruel thing I could think of was to burn her throat and scratch her face, but she actually wanted to take my life!
Nanny Gui also realized that Prince Xuan's Mansion was like a den of dragons and tigers.
Not to mention His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes, even this Yu family is definitely not an easy person to deal with!
Shen Yanyu grabbed Nanny Gui's hand and said, "How about we report it to the police? Report it to the police and have the man arrested!"
The more she thought about it, the more it made sense. If she arrested that crazy woman, wouldn't she be safe?
Aunt Gui shook her head and said, "Young lady, you have seen it too. She had someone dispose of the body, and she had ordered those around her to keep their mouths shut. We can't produce any evidence if we report it to the authorities. How can the authorities believe our one-sided words?"
Hearing this, Shen Yanyu's heart began to cool: "..."
In other words, she would have to live under the same roof with a murderer all day long? And she would have to be on guard against him stabbing her all the time?
Is it too late for her to go home now and pretend that she has never been married?
…
After going out, Xie Zhuoning and Song Lan looked at each other and burst out laughing.
Song Lan covered her lips and said, "I see Concubine Shen is really frightened this time."
Xie Zhuoning said, "Shen Yanyu is just a paper tiger. Scare her and she will probably be quiet for a while. After some time, find a chance to send her out of the house. As for the nanny beside her, you should ask someone to pay more attention to her. From what I see, her words and actions seem like she came out of the palace."
No one knows whether it was sent by the Queen or her sister Shen Shuyu.
Song Lan replied in a low voice, "Yes."
After walking out of the door and turning a corner, you will arrive at Tingfeng Courtyard.
Xie Zhuoning lifted her skirt and walked in.
As a result, as soon as she arrived in the courtyard, she was stopped by several maids, "Madam, please stay. My concubine said that she is not feeling well and will not see guests today. Please go back."
Such an obvious excuse clearly shows that he doesn't want to see her.
Xie Zhuoning was not annoyed after hearing this. He smiled and asked Song Lan to bring the set of "Records of Mountains and Rivers of Daye" over.
"Since Concubine Zhu is not feeling well, I will not bother you any more. This is a little toy I brought for you. It is not valuable. I just use it to kill time. Please do not dislike it."
The little maid said, "My concubine doesn't like this kind of thing, please take it back, Madam."
"You haven't even asked, how do you know she doesn't like it?" Xie Zhuoning still had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
The little maidservant couldn't say that she had been told before, so she said with some embarrassment, "Then I'll go ask."
After saying that, he turned around and trotted into the house.
The nanny in the room scolded through the curtain in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you not to accept her gift? Find a reason to refuse it. Don't make friends with her, and don't offend her."
"Yes." The little maid received the order and was about to go out to reply when she was stopped by Zhu Rujin.
"Wait, what gift did she give?"
"I see it's a set of books, it seems to be called 'Records of Mountains and Rivers in Daye'."
"Oh?" Zhu Rujin raised her head, somewhat surprised.
Madam Zhao continued, "She must have heard from somewhere that you like reading, so she came to please you."
Zhu Rujin sneered, "What about me is worthy of her trying to please me?"
Nanny Zhao heard the displeasure in her tone, and hurriedly walked up to her, smiling flatteringly, "You are a concubine. To put it bluntly, there is no principal wife here, and you are the mistress of this mansion. If she doesn't please you, who else can she please?"
"Concubine?" Zhu Rujin found it even more amusing. "Isn't the one next door also a concubine? She has been aiming for the position of Prince Xuan's principal wife since she entered the palace. Not only does she have a grandfather who is a duke and has military power, but she also has a sister who is the prince's concubine. If you want to please her, you should please her."
"This, this, this..." Madam Zhao muttered, "How can a girl be like this, boosting others' ambitions while destroying her own prestige?"
Zhu Rujin was too lazy to pay attention to her and directly called the maid, "Liu Ying, go and accept the gift and thank her for me."
"Okay." Liu Ying received the order and immediately trotted out again.
Upon seeing this, Nanny Zhao slapped her thigh in anger and said, "Oh, young lady, have you forgotten what the master told you when you came here? He told you not to get too close to this person, lest Concubine Shen misunderstand you..."
Zhu Rujin was too lazy to listen to her nagging, so she turned around and read her book.
Not long after, Liu Ying brought in the set of books that Xie Zhuoning had sent. She picked up one and flipped through two pages. Her eyebrows immediately raised, "It really is the Records of Mountains and Rivers of Daye."
How did she know that I was thinking of reading this book recently?
"Princess, how do you know that Concubine Zhu will definitely accept the gift you send?" Song Lan asked curiously on the way back.
Xie Zhuoning smiled but said nothing.
In his previous life, Zhu Rujin got a set of "Records of Mountains and Rivers of Daye" and couldn't put it down. He read it so much that he forgot to eat and sleep.
She is also very serious about things, so when she sees something new, that she doesn't understand or that interests her, she will definitely look for explanations everywhere until she understands it clearly.
Even if her family members tried to find her some men, she refused to like any of them and just kept thinking about her books.
As a result, by the time she finished reading the entire set of "Records of Mountains and Rivers of Daye", her younger sisters had already given birth to several children.
After knowing about her existence last night, she immediately sent someone to inform Murong Xu and asked him to find a way to get the set of books for her.
Murong Xu was also quick and asked someone to deliver it to her early in the morning.
Use this set of books to stabilize Zhu Rujin first, and then find the right opportunity to get her out.
The two concubines were calm, but her biggest headache now was how to tell Xiao Jinxuan about this after he came back...
Oh, what a headache!
