Chapter 337 Difficulties
Wuzhu has never suffered such injustice and setback since birth.
She was always the second prince's most beloved daughter, and her usual treatment far exceeded that of her other sisters. She had always been aloof and looked down on her other sisters.
If it weren't for the last time when she rushed out to stop her people from breaking Liu Zhentao's leg, she wouldn't have had any impression of this younger sister, Yin Duo.
Now that she's climbed the social ladder, people from the capital are even standing up for her.
She's a lowly child born of a vile woman, she doesn't even deserve it!
As for the child, she can simply give it up! There's absolutely no way she'd ask Yin Duo for help!
“Father, I am not capable of directing people to cause trouble for Princess Lin. Aren’t the people in the south the kindest? Since they helped me find my child, why won’t they let the child reunite with me? Instead, they are using this child to blackmail me into bowing down to a Han woman’s child.” Wuzhu knelt before the Second Prince unwillingly, her head held high, her face full of stubbornness.
Over the years, she naturally knew that what her father admired most about her was her boldness, willfulness, fiery temper, and wild personality, so she always behaved this way in front of her father.
However, even though she had tears in her eyes and stubbornly refused to admit defeat, the Second Prince did not appreciate her at all. He only felt that Wuzhu was too ignorant.
"I summoned you here not to hear your excuses. Tomorrow, you must not offend Lord Yuan, and you must sincerely apologize to Princess Lin." The Second Prince patiently spoke, for he was truly afraid.
Yuan Hongqu brought so many people, but even with all the warriors in their tribe combined, they still numbered less than a thousand.
Yuan Hongqu was accompanied by the elite of the elite; it was said that even the worst among them could take on ten men.
The more the Second Prince learned, the more alarmed he became.
He only wanted to be a carefree and wealthy prince on the grasslands; he had no other ambitions. He absolutely could not let the people from the capital misunderstand him!
"Father, why do you boost the enemy's morale and diminish your own? This is the grassland, not the capital. You should follow the host's lead, not the other way around! I did nothing wrong, and I will not apologize to them!" Wuzhu shouted defiantly.
"She's a princess, and who are you?" The Second Prince glared at him.
"No matter what conditions Yinduo proposes tomorrow, you must agree to them. She's just a little girl, and she wouldn't make any unreasonable demands. As long as this matter is resolved, you will still be my good daughter; but if you do anything unnecessary and the people from the capital catch you doing something wrong, you will live the same life as Yinduo before. Don't think that just because you're married, I can't control you."
Seeing her father's unfriendly expression and unprecedented sternness, Wuzhu felt a little scared. She wasn't stupid; since the usual methods weren't working, admitting her mistake was a good alternative.
As for the future, those people in the capital can't stay on the grasslands forever, but Yin Duo still needs to survive here. Once they're gone, she has plenty of ways to deal with Yin Duo!
The stars are brilliant, and the Milky Way is vast.
The nights on the grasslands are more tranquil and peaceful than the days.
The intense horse racing during the day had exhausted the students, so there were no organized activities planned for the evening. Instead, students who knew each other gathered together and roamed freely around the campsite.
"Liu Qianrou, we've come to see you." Ma Xinlan casually opened the curtain of Liu Qianrou's tent first, glanced at her, then flung the curtain back down and retreated.
The girl following behind her also stopped and asked in confusion,
"Xinlan, why aren't you going in? Isn't Liu Qianrou in the tent?"
Ma Xinlan shook her head, sensing something was wrong, then quickly nodded.
"Let's go back first, and visit her again tomorrow."
"Eh? Ma Xinlan, what are you doing here?" Liu Qianrou, carrying a bundle and followed by several guards, reached the tent entrance and handed the bundle to a guard.
"Take them in. You two will stay with my brother for the next few days."
These are the clothes that were just made for Liu Zhentao. Men's clothes are all about style and don't need elaborate decorations like embroidery. So the old women worked together and, before Liu Zhentao's medicinal bath was even over, a complete set of clothes, from the inside out, had already been made.
"Your brother?" Ma Xinlan felt a little embarrassed when she thought of the figure she had just seen reflected on the screen and then thought of Liu Qianrou's older brother whom she had met before.
“Liu Qianrou, this is not right. Our study tour group doesn’t allow family members to come along. It’s not right for your brother to come along like this. Does Teacher Xu know? Have you spoken to Dean Mi about this?” As the group leader, Ma Xinlan had to remind Liu Qianrou.
When Liu Qianrou set off, her brother didn't come with her, but he suddenly appeared on the grassland. Ma Xinlan felt that this situation needed to be reported to the teacher in charge and the dean.
"Ma Xinlan, the director and the others all know that my brother is injured. He can stay in this tent for the next few days. I'll go back to the yurt later." Liu Qianrou, unusually, didn't argue with Ma Xinlan but calmly explained to her.
Ma Xinlan was not used to this change for a while.
"Since that's the case, let's all go back and get some rest. We're going to the grassland market tomorrow, so let's all be well-rested and have a good time exploring it."
She was a very dedicated and exemplary group leader.
The women bid farewell to Liu Qianrou and left.
After everyone left, a strange woman suddenly walked out from behind the tent.
"Hello, Miss Liu." The woman's voice was gentle, instantly making one feel good.
"Who are you? How did you come from that side? Could it be that you are the woman my brother chased to the grasslands?" Liu Qianrou wondered.
The woman was dressed in a dress commonly seen in the capital. She had a very delicate appearance, with a small face the size of a palm and bright, captivating eyes like black gemstones.
“Miss Liu, your brother is my savior. He has been injured again, so I came to see if there is anything I can do to help.”
"Since you're not that grassland woman, forget it! We don't need any help."
Liu Qianrou refused outright. She was determined to make that woman pay the price. As for unimportant people, she decided it was best not to meet her brother.
"Miss Liu, how is the Second Young Master's injury?"
"It's alright, we have a doctor with us."
"Then Yinduo will take her leave now and will come to visit Young Master Liu again tomorrow."
"Yinduo!" A clear voice came from inside the tent.
As soon as Chen Yinduo turned around, she heard Liu Zhentao's voice.
“Young Master Liu, please rest and recover. I will be going to the capital in a few days. I hope we can meet again in the capital. Then Yinduo will repay your kindness.”
Although she heard Liu Zhentao's voice, Chen Yinduo felt very calm. She said a few words into the tent and then turned and left.
She slept in the Lin family's tent at night, and when she went out, she was accompanied by the Lin family's old women, who said that as a young girl, she shouldn't walk at night.
Especially Daiyu, who was asked to bring a few guards with her, but she felt embarrassed to do so.
