Chapter 155: Promise of a Concubine
Her eyes were full of nervousness and anticipation, fearing that they would not agree.
Before Lu Zhiran could speak, Xiao Baozhu nodded without hesitation.
"Of course! As long as she's willing, Jinxiufang will welcome her!"
Xing Chuxue's eyes lit up instantly, "I thank the princess on behalf of my cousin!"
She wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Xiao Baozhu.
"No need to thank me, it's Sister Xie Ran who should be thanked. If it weren't for her, Jinxiufang wouldn't exist."
Xing Chuxue looked at Lu Zhiran with more and more admiration in her eyes.
Lu Zhiran shook her head. "No need to thank me. She was the one who truly saved her. If she couldn't make up her mind to take that step, no matter how many Jinxiufangs there were, they wouldn't be able to save her."
Just like my previous life, I drew a circle on the ground as a prison and trapped myself in that cage, step by step putting myself in a desperate situation.
You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, nor can you save a prisoner who refuses to repent.
All she can do is hold up an umbrella for the unfortunate women in the world and pave a way out.
But whether they continue to sink into the quagmire or bravely step out of it depends on themselves.
Xing Chuxue and Xiao Baozhu fell into deep thought at the same time.
Only those who have experienced hardships can have this kind of growth and understanding. They looked at Lu Zhiran with a hint of pity in their eyes.
The three of them had a pleasant chat and got along very well.
A cry of surprise interrupted them, "Oh, how did you pour the tea?"
It was Chu Yunqing's clothes that were wet. She glared at the maid in front of her angrily, and was so angry that she wanted to hit her.
The maid was at a loss, "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, someone bumped into me just now."
"You're still quibbling!"
Zhao Shuning tried to smooth things over, "Qing'er, it's just a piece of clothing, just change it, don't lose your style."
Although Chu Yunqing was angry, she had to swallow her anger because the princess was present and went downstairs with the maid to change her clothes.
A hint of thought flashed across Lu Zhiran's eyes.
She had been paying attention to the movements over there. If she saw it correctly, it was Biying, the maid beside Zhao Shuning, who bumped into that maid.
Why did she do that?
Xiao Baozhu had just drunk too much tea, so she got up to change her clothes.
Soon, another maid came hurriedly, "Second Miss Xing, I finally found you. Please go quickly, Miss Xing is looking for you urgently."
Xing Chuxue had no choice but to say goodbye to Lu Zhiran and was led somewhere else by the maid.
Seeing that everyone around him had been sent away, Lu Zhiran lowered his eyelids slightly.
Here it comes.
If she guessed correctly, someone would call her away soon.
Sure enough, about a quarter of an hour later, another maid came forward and said that Xiao Baozhu was calling her over.
Lu Zhiran had no doubts and followed without hesitation.
Zhao Shuning glanced calmly in the direction she left, then quickly looked away.
The maid led Lu Zhiran in a certain direction. As she walked, she secretly observed her surroundings and had already outlined a route in her mind.
The maid was leading her to the outer courtyard.
She already had a vague guess as to what the other party's intentions were.
A hint of coldness flashed in Lu Zhiran's eyes.
In the inner courtyard, everyone was still admiring the flowers.
Xiao Wanzhen had a decent smile on her face, but she was secretly estimating the time in her heart and felt that things should be done.
Just as I was thinking this, a nanny came running to the garden entrance with a look of anxiety on her face.
Mrs. Qian of Lu saw this and called the man over, "Why are you so flustered?"
The old woman hesitated and didn't dare to speak, but just secretly glanced in Xiao Wanzhen's direction.
When Qian saw this, her heart sank. She couldn't even order a nanny around in this family.
Xiao Wanzhen stepped forward and asked casually, "What happened?"
The old woman then spoke, "Yes, there was an accident in the front yard. Someone fell into the water at Jade Belt Bridge. The Sixth Prince happened to be passing by and jumped in to save them."
A faint light flashed across Xiao Wanzhen's eyes, but she pretended to be anxious.
"What?"
A young girl in a lotus pink skirt jumped up and down in anxiety, cursing loudly.
"Are you all vegetarians? How could you let the Sixth Prince take such a risk? If anything were to happen to him, could you afford the consequences?"
The girl had a pretty face, but her face was full of anger, which made her look even more arrogant and domineering.
She is the eldest daughter of the Lu family, Lu Shiyin.
Her eyes and eyebrows were filled with worry and concern for Xiao Yanqing, and her feelings were obvious.
The old woman hung her head and stammered, unable to speak.
Xiao Wanzhen asked again, "Who fell into the water?"
The old woman said quickly, "Yes, it's the Princess of Pingle County."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around him gasped.
When Princess Pingle fell into the water, the Sixth Prince jumped in to save her. Doesn't that mean the Sixth Prince is responsible for her?
Lu Shiyin was so shocked that her beautiful eyes widened.
Xiao Wanzhen pretended to be puzzled. "Why is she running to the outer courtyard instead of enjoying the flowers in the inner courtyard?"
Someone immediately speculated, "Her legs are her own. If she hadn't run to the outer courtyard on her own, who would have held her up? In my opinion, she clearly did it on purpose! I'm afraid she wants to take this opportunity to find herself another good husband!"
Hearing this, Lu Shiyin felt a surge of rage, unable to contain herself. "Shameless bitch! She's a second-time bride, and yet she's dreaming of marrying the Sixth Prince! She's dreaming!"
After she finished speaking, she rushed forward with a look of urgency, as if she was going to tear Lu Zhiran apart.
Seeing this, Xiao Wanzhen did not stop it.
Her sister-in-law's heart is all on Yan Qing, and she is also domineering. If she makes a fuss about this matter, everyone will know about it.
By then, it will be difficult for Lu Zhiran to refuse to get married.
As Lu Zhiran was a second bride, she was naturally not worthy of Yan Qing.
The reason they resorted to such a desperate measure was not because of her as a person, but because of her money.
This woman was as wealthy as a country and very resourceful, and she had given Xiao Yanci a lot of advice.
Yan Qing wronged himself and married her so that he could take all her money for himself, which was equivalent to cutting off one of Xiao Yanci's arms.
Although she is a county lady, she is absolutely unworthy of the position of princess. Granting her the position of concubine is already a great favor.
Fortunately, the plan has been completed, and all my painstaking planning has not been in vain.
Xiao Wanzhen also walked towards the front yard, and everyone followed her, just wanting to take a look at the excitement.
Zhao Shuning followed beside Xiao Wanzhen, with a dark look in his eyes.
Everyone quickly arrived at the Jade Belt Bridge and saw the Sixth Prince holding a tightly wrapped woman on the shore, his eyes full of pity.
When Lu Shiyin saw this, her eyes almost spit fire instantly.
Zhao Shuning's gaze fell on another person.
Chu Yian was there too. His whole body was wet and his face was pale. His eyes were fixed on the woman in Xiao Yanqing's arms, with a suppressed anger in his eyes.
It was as if something of yours had been taken away by someone else.
