At this moment, Wang Yuru, who was hiding by the door, was furious to see that Ning Zixuan didn't even try to insist and just turned to leave. She threw the handkerchief that Ning Zixuan had just bought for her on the ground and stomped on it several times, angrily cursing:
"What marriage proposal, what 'I will marry no one but you'? It's all a lie! You're all bad people, you're all bad people, you're just fooling yourself!"
After saying that, Wang Yuru ran off to the inner courtyard in a huff, crying.
Seeing this, the maid following behind quickly picked up the handkerchief from the ground and ran after Wang Yurou towards the inner courtyard.
"Miss, don't cry, wait for me! Miss, here's your handkerchief!"
Wang Yuru cried even harder when she heard the maid mention the handkerchief.
"Throw it all away! Throw it all away! Throw out everything Ning Zixuan brought today, it looks filthy to me!"
In fact, on the way back, Wang Yuru also saw Ning Zixuan's carriage following behind her.
She was already furious because she had witnessed Ye Yuqing and Ning Zixuan's intimate behavior, but now that she saw Ning Zixuan had abandoned Ye Yuqing and come after her, she felt a little secretly pleased.
But now that Wang Yuruo saw that Ning Zixuan only listened to the gatekeeper's message and didn't want to come in and explain things to her, she felt like there was a big stone in her heart, making her feel very uncomfortable.
The reason she's crying now is more because she feels that all the sincerity she had shown to Ning Zixuan has been wasted.
Madam Wang, who was sitting in the inner courtyard reconciling accounts with the head maid, heard Wang Yurou crying and rushed out to check on her.
"Oh dear, Yuru, what's wrong? Why are you crying like this? Don't run away, stop right there!"
As she spoke, Madam Wang quickly stepped forward and stopped Wang Yurou.
Wang Yuru, who was already feeling wronged, felt even more aggrieved when she saw her mother. She immediately picked up Madam Wang and started crying loudly.
The maidservant following behind finally caught up, panting heavily.
Seeing her daughter crying like this, Madam Wang turned to the maid following behind and asked with a stern face:
"Lotus, what's going on? Didn't Miss go out to see the lanterns with the young master today? Why are you back so early?"
Lotus, holding up the handkerchief in her hand, said breathlessly:
"In response to Madam, our young lady was tired from walking around earlier, so she said she would find a tavern to rest with the young master and the others. As soon as they went in, this Second Miss Ye poured an entire pot of tea on our young lady."
As she spoke, Lianhua glanced at Wang Yuru, who was still sobbing.
Fortunately, Miss had brought a spare set of clothes with her when she went out, so she went to a room and changed her clothes.
Lotus paused, somewhat hesitant to look into Madam Wang's eyes.
Upon seeing this, Madam Wang hurriedly said:
"What happened next? Tell me quickly!"
Lotus swallowed hard, then continued:
"Later, when Miss changed her clothes and returned to the private room on the second floor, she saw Miss Ye and the young master embracing each other, so Miss ran out."
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang frowned.
"How could that be? I saw the young master at the banquet at Prince Jing's residence that day, and he didn't seem like such a frivolous person."
At this moment, Wang Yuru also emerged from Madam Wang's embrace.
"Hmph, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Mother, how can you understand his heart after only meeting him once? I've met him so many times, and I'm still completely fooled by him."
Madam Wang took out her handkerchief and wiped away the tears on Wang Yuru's face.
"Didn't the young master say he only invited you out shopping? How come this Miss Ye has suddenly appeared?"
Upon hearing Madam Wang's words, Wang Yuru lowered her head and said somewhat guiltily:
"Yes, Ye Yuqing was the one I asked to go. I ran into her when I was having dinner with the young master at the food court last time. She said she wanted to go out with me again next time. The young master disagreed at the time, but I insisted on agreeing..."
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang reached out and tapped Wang Yurou hard on the head.
"You, you, I don't even know what to say to you. How could you be so silly? So today, was it the young master who asked her to come out together?"
Wang Yuru lowered her head, bit her lower lip, and stammered:
"Yes, I begged the young master to go to the Prime Minister's residence to bring her out..."
When Madam Wang heard this, she didn't know what to say about her silly daughter. With the young master's status and family background, which girl wouldn't be eager to get close to him?
Now, my silly daughter not only doesn't cherish it, but actively creates opportunities for others. She's just incredibly stupid.
Madam Wang sighed helplessly.
"Isn't this all your own doing? You're rushing to send girls to the young master's side!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuru looked up with a defiant expression and said:
"I think Ning Zixuan was never a good person. Humph, but I wasn't engaged to him anyway. Now that I've discovered he's unreliable, it'll save me from wasting my feelings in the future. That's for the best!"
After saying that, Wang Yuru, with red eyes, turned around and quickly went to her room.
Madam Wang watched her resolute back and called out:
"Are you really willing to hand over the crown prince to someone else?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuru's tears fell like beads from a broken string again. She felt incredibly wronged and didn't want to talk to anyone. All she wanted was to go back to her room and get a good night's sleep.
Ning Zixuan had already arrived at the gate of Prince Jing's mansion, but as soon as he got off the carriage, he fainted.
Just then, Jiang Yuwei was about to go out to pick up Ning Wan when she bumped into Ning Zixuan lying at the door. She quickly ordered the servant to carry him back and arranged for Yun Qing to pick up Ning Wan.
Jiang Yuwei followed Ning Zixuan into the courtyard.
"Quickly put him on the bed, then go boil some water. Leave one person here to help me, and the rest of you go out."
Then, Jiang Yuwei quickly moved a stool and sat down beside Ning Zixuan's bed to take his pulse. Seeing that he had been drugged, which explained his high fever, she hurriedly called out to the outside:
"Quickly prepare a basin of cold water; someone will come in shortly to bathe the young master."
After saying that, Jiang Yuwei took out silver needles and used them to relieve his physical discomfort.
Ning Zixuan was in a daze at this moment, and he kept calling out Wang Yuru's name.
"Yu Rou, Yu Rou, don't go, don't go, let me explain..."
Jiang Yuwei had no idea what had happened to Ning Zixuan outside, or why he had returned like this. She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Could it be that Miss Wang drugged Ning Zixuan? Logically speaking, Miss Wang doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a despicable thing. Besides, Ning Zixuan has already said that he will not marry anyone but Wang Yuru, so why would she take such a risk?
