Chapter 88 Jealousy
Ye Wanning stiffened, turned her head, and found Su Wenzhen standing not far away, his face full of anger.
She was stunned and didn't notice Shu Ruxue next to her before being pushed to the ground.
"Your Highness!" Upon seeing Su Wenzhen approach, Shu Ruxue immediately adopted a pitiful demeanor, twisting her body and stepping forward with a wronged expression. "Your Highness, we..."
"What's wrong with you all?" Su Wenzhen glanced at Ye Wanning, who had been pushed to the ground, and felt a surge of anger. He looked at Shu Ruxue calmly and said, "This is the Prince of Jin's residence. What kind of mess is this?"
"It's that slut!" Seeing that Su Wenzhen showed no sign of distress, Shu Ruxue was secretly pleased, thinking that the Prince of Jin was being lenient with her. She pointed at Ye Wanning with a face full of resentment, "It's her! She doesn't know the difference between master and servant and insists on making a scene with me here." As she spoke, Shu Ruxue raised her right hand, looking at Su Wenzhen with teary eyes, "Your Highness, look, my hand is all red from her grip."
"Oh?" Su Wenzhen raised an eyebrow, took Shu Ruxue's hand, but his gaze remained fixed on Ye Wanning. "You mean, she can't distinguish between master and servant?"
"Yeah!" Shu Ruxue frowned and muttered under her breath, "She's still acting like a mistress here! I really don't know who trained her to do that!"
"Who trained her..." Su Wenzhen sneered, suddenly grabbing Shu Ruxue's hand tightly. He turned to look at her and curled his lips, "Don't you know who trained her?"
"Your...Your...Your Highness..." Su Wenzhen's sudden exertion startled Shu Ruxue. She looked at him with some fear, "My...my hand...my hand hurts..."
Su Wenzhen didn't reply, still staring at Shu Ruxue with unfathomable eyes. "I'm asking you a question." He then tightened his grip. "Who trained her?"
"This...this...this servant..." Shu Ruxue's eyes were filled with terror. She was so frightened by Su Wenzhen that she was almost crying. She stammered, "She...she...she said she was the princess's person..."
"The Princess Consort's people?" Su Wenzhen chuckled, then suddenly exclaimed loudly, "I had no idea when our Prince Jin's Princess Consort became a maid!" As he spoke, he looked at Shu Ruxue, his expression turning somewhat gloomy, "And you, how dare you say the Princess Consort can't distinguish between master and servant? Have you forgotten your own status?!"
As soon as Su Wenzhen finished speaking, Shu Ruxue's eyes widened as she looked at his incredulous expression. "You...you...what did you say...she is..." She looked tremblingly at Ye Wanning, "She is the Princess Consort of Jin!"
Su Wenzhen smiled, forcefully shaking off Shu Ruxue's hand. Shu Ruxue, caught off guard, was thrown to the ground. "Why don't you just ask her yourself?"
Shu Ruxue felt a chill run through her body. As she watched Su Wenzhen step forward and help Ye Wanning up, she knew the answer. Her face turned deathly pale, and she hurriedly knelt down, kowtowing and begging for forgiveness, "Your Highness! Your Highness! I was blind and didn't know her! Please don't hold it against me!"
Although Su Wenzhen helped Ye Wanning up, she was still angry. She impatiently shook off Su Wenzhen's hand, tidied her disheveled hair, raised an eyebrow at Shu Ruxue, and smiled playfully, "I dare not accept such a compliment, Miss Shu. How could someone as lowly as me be a princess? You should be the one!"
Upon hearing this, Shu Ruxue was so frightened that she didn't dare to raise her head. She answered tremblingly, "Your Highness...it was all...it was all my fault! I...I was talking about myself!"
“But just now…” Ye Wanning sneered, “that’s not what you said. Now you say it…” Ye Wanning looked at Shu Ruxue with feigned confusion, “what do you mean by this?”
Shu Ruxue chuckled twice, then stammered for a long while before finally managing to say, "Your Highness... this servant..." She then slapped herself hard across the face. "It's all my fault, Your Highness, please don't be angry, lest you harm your health..."
Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow, looked at the person in front of her, paused, and then said, "You're quite perceptive, so let's continue!"
"Huh?" Shu Ruxue was taken aback, looking at Ye Wanning with some confusion. "What does the Princess mean?"
"Keep going." Ye Wanning looked at her and gave a cold laugh. "Keep slapping yourself. Weren't you doing it smoothly just now?"
"Your Highness, I..." Shu Ruxue looked at Ye Wanning with a face full of astonishment, as if she could not believe what she had just heard.
Ye Wanning lowered her eyes, turned around, and said to Cui'er beside her, "Cui'er, keep an eye on her. Don't let her go until there's blood. If she doesn't fight, let someone else fight."
Cui'er was taken aback. "Yes."
A series of piercing screams came from behind, but Ye Wanning seemed oblivious and continued walking forward. Seeing this, Su Wenzhen immediately followed.
“Wan Ning.” He grabbed Ye Wan Ning’s hand.
"What's wrong?" Ye Wanning asked, her head lowered, not looking at him. Her voice was somewhat muffled. "What do you want to see me about?"
“I…” Su Wenzhen frowned, about to speak, when Ye Wanning suddenly shook off his hand.
Ye Wanning looked at Su Wenzhen with a somewhat expressionless expression and said, "Instead of wasting time chasing after me, you might as well go and see those beauties you recently brought into the manor!" She looked at Su Wenzhen with some disdain, "What talk about being both talented and beautiful! I think it's all bullshit. He doesn't even recognize his own master! What a rare idiot!"
Su Wenzhen was taken aback, then looked at Ye Wanning and suddenly burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at!" Seeing Su Wenzhen laugh, Ye Wanning felt a surge of anger rising within her, which she couldn't vent. She glared fiercely at Su Wenzhen, "Try laughing again and see what happens!"
Seeing this, Su Wenzhen immediately stopped smiling. He coughed twice, then leaned close to Ye Wanning's ear and said in a playful tone, "Wanning, are you jealous?"
Jealous...jealous? Jealous! Ye Wanning blushed and immediately pushed Su Wenzhen aside. Her eyes were full of anger as she pointed at Su Wenzhen's nose and scolded, "Have you no shame! I'm not jealous! I'm not jealous at all!"
“But…” Su Wenzhen fanned himself as if he were uncomfortable, then frowned. “Why does the air smell so strongly of vinegar? Did someone accidentally knock over the vinegar jar?”
Ye Wanning was speechless, but she was still furious. She looked at Su Wenzhen and suddenly had an idea. Taking advantage of Su Wenzhen's inattention, she stepped forward and stomped on his foot hard.
"You're delusional!" Ye Wanning shouted, then ran away without looking back, leaving Su Wenzhen alone, clutching his foot that had just been stepped on and yelling.
Watching Ye Wanning's retreating figure, Su Wenzhen shook his head helplessly. He really couldn't do anything about his wife!
Hurriedly returning to her room, Ye Wanning covered her burning cheeks with both hands, her face filled with shame and indignation. She had just been so embarrassed! She thought to herself, "This Su Wenzhen is getting more and more... more and more..." Ye Wanning shook her head in annoyance; she wasn't jealous at all!
Just as she was thinking this, she saw Granny Sun push open the door and walk in, "Your Highness."
"Huh?" Ye Wanning snapped out of her daze, her face still flushed. She looked at Granny Sun, "Granny, what's wrong?"
Seeing Ye Wanning's flushed face, the experienced Granny Sun immediately guessed what had happened. She smiled at Ye Wanning and said, "Your Highness, it would be best if you didn't quarrel with the Prince in the future. Look at today, the Prince protected you in every way!"
"How did he protect me?!" Ye Wanning stomped her feet in anger, pouting and looking dissatisfied. "If it weren't for him, how could this have happened!" Although she didn't suffer any losses in the pavilion, she was still bullied, wasn't she!
"Your Highness, can this really be blamed on the Prince?" Granny Sun looked at her with a helpless expression. "If you had told Miss Shu your identity from the beginning, would so much trouble have happened?"
"I..." Ye Wanning bit her lip, "I was..."
"Alright, Your Highness." Granny Sun looked at Ye Wanning with a kind expression and smiled. "Granny Sun is getting old, and you are the person I worry about most. My greatest wish is for you to be happy." As she spoke, Granny Sun sighed. "I can see how the Prince treats you. Your Highness, you shouldn't always give in to your whims. What can't a husband and wife resolve?"
Ye Wanning looked at Granny Sun for a long while before finally speaking in a muffled voice, "I know, Granny..."
