Queen of flowers - Chapter 76
In Shou’an Hall, Yong Ruo, who was left unattended in the small flower hall, sat till her butt turned numb. Then she stood up and walked around, moving her muscles, and picking the dumped teapots and cups.
As she walked around the hall, she thought about today.
Shen Feifei didn’t like her, that was for sure.
The cause of her anger might be her background, or was there some other reason?
So, what kind of person was Shen Taifei?
She was able to secure the Princess position even after the fall of her family. She also convinced the old Prince to help her family. Only one of the four children of the old prince was concubine born … So, she was by no means a simple woman with charms and wits.
From Feng Liao’s past and the fact that Shen Taifei’s three children had grown up safely, it could be roughly inferred that Shen Taifei had well protected her children, but she also had a strong desire to control them.
This desire to control might be due to her own personality factors, or it might be the sequelae of parenting under high pressure.
Du Ying and her daughter gave hers medicine, which was most likely to be ordered by Shen Taifei. But it could not completely rule out other possibilities, for example, Du Ying and her daughter were secretly working for someone else.
¬What is the truth? It depends on what kind of evidence I find, so I don’t have to rush to a conclusion now.¬
While she was pondering about that, Du Ying’s heavy footsteps sounded outside the door again.
Du Ying, who had changed her clothes, walked in and said with a smile, “The Princess mother has invited the Beauty in.”
“Thank you so much!” Yong Ruo smiled, thanked her, and followed Du Ying to the Shou’an Hall.
Du Ying accompanied her while calming her, “Beauty doesn’t have to worry. At this moment, the Liu girl and Mrs. Liu are with the Princess mother! The Princess mother likes the Liu girl and Mrs. Liu is the Princess mother’s sister …if they are willing to say a few good words for you, the Princess mother’s soft heart will like you too … “
Yong Ruo thought to herself, ‘Did she imply that she would have to please the mother and daughter of the Liu family? What a joke’
“Thank you for mentioning that.”
When she entered the Shou’an Hall again, Shen Taifei was sitting on the rosewood jade treasure couch, and Liu Yuzhuang was sitting on the side. Mrs. Liu was sitting on the ring chair on the east side.
Yong Ruo slowly walked towards the couch, but a sudden notification sound was heard in her mind, “Ruo Ruo, Mrs. Liu has 0.5 units of B-level sterility drugs in her body! Value 250 points!”
Yong Ruo was very surprised, ‘Mrs. Liu had B-level sterility drugs in her body?’
No wonder she only gave birth to Liu Yuzhuang … Who did it? Zhu Ying’s sterility drug was taken from Shen Taifei, which was a good A grade. The sterility drug in Mrs. Liu’s body was only a B grade, which meant it wasn’t taken from Shen Taifei.
She said to herself, ‘I’m sure I’ll get it, but I don’t need to hurry lest it will seem suspicious.’
Now she had enough points to save Zhou life, and Mrs. Liu’s sterility drug could be used slowly.
She walked a few steps in front of Shen Taifei’s bed steadily, bowed down and saluted, “Yongshi thanks Princess mother for your reward.”
Shen Taifei said, “These are just routine gifts, not worthy of your thanks in person. Liu Yuzhuang intercedes for you, I will give her a face and see you. If you really want to thank someone, thank Yuzhuang!”
Yong Ruo said, “Although they are routine gifts, it is from the Princess mother. I am grateful. I should thank her.”
She thanked Liu Yuzhuang, “Thank you for your beautiful words.”
Liu Yuzhuang smiled lightly and said softly, “Yongmei is simple and gentle. I liked you at the first sight. I only said a few words. I don’t want you to thank me. As long as my aunt doesn’t blame me for talking!”
Shen Taifei exclaimed angrily, “I won’t blame you? You talk so well and ask me to do something?”
Then she turned to Yong Ruo and said, “I have already received your thanks, you go back! Be safe and secure in the future, and serve the Prince Xingjun well. That’s just fine. “
“Yes!” Yong Ruo promised, bowing and retreating, without dragging her feet, and without any grievances.
Her purpose had been achieved, and she rolled back to escape. Did she still want to rely on Shou’an?
Liu Yuzhuang showed a sincere face, and smiled, “I’ll send Yongmei!”
She stood up from Shen Taifei’s couch, walked to Yong Ruo, and took her hand.
Yong Ruo was modest, and allowed her to go outside holding hands.
She couldn’t tell Liu Yuzhuang true thoughts and real purpose. The best thing was to wait and see what happens. With golden fingers in her body, she still couldn’t play this Liu girl?
Besides, “using the heart of a villain to measure the abdomen of a gentleman”* was not a good habit, after all, why was she like a victim of paranoia and see who was malicious?
(*Use mean ideas to guess decent minds)
Before going out, she heard Mrs. Shen saying to Mrs. Liu, “Liu Yuzhuang is good, but she’s too soft-hearted, and she’s kind to everyone …”
Mrs. Liu sighed, her tone very helpless, “Yes! I’m worried about this!”
After hearing these words, Yong Ruo turned to look at Liu Yuzhuang, who was also looking at her.
The two looked at each other with a smile, as if they didn’t hear it, and went out without looking back.
Outside the Shou’an Hall, Yu Jing and Xiao Xue who followed Yong Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly greeted them, and saluted Liu Yuzhuang.
Liu Yuzhuang laughed, “I’ll accompany Yongmei a few more steps and say a few words!”
After the two walked for a while, Liu Yuzhuang whispered to Yong Ruo, “Yongmei do you know about Qing Xing and Qing Mei?” Qing Xing and Qing Mei were the two girls Shen Taifei wanted to reward Feng Yao as concubines.
Yong Ruo nodded, “I have heard of them.”
“It’s good that you know them, and saved me a lot of words,” Liu Yuzhuang breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly, “My aunt was angered by the third cousin. Now that the third cousin loves the beauty, aunt will inevitably get angry at you.”
Yong Ruo nodded her head and said, “So it is!”
“However, the beauty doesn’t have to worry about it. The days are still long! When aunt comes to know your character, and if you listen to the princess mother. She will naturally like you! If there is an opportunity, I will also say a few words for you … “Liu Yuzhuang took Yong Ruo’s hand and said very sincerely.
Yong Ruo understood! Cousin Liu was here to show her goodwill, consistent with her behavior when they first met.
As for the purpose of showing good, the biggest possibility was that Cousin Liu wanted to use her as a springboard and approach Feng Liao. So, why did Cousin Liu want to approach Feng Liao? She liked Feng Liao? Or was she just looking for a backer? This problem could be judged slowly, without having to rush to conclusions.
When Liu Yuzhuang was done, Yong Ruo did not invite her to sit in the Dustless hall, but left directly.
No matter what Liu Yuzhuang’s real purpose was, she was willing to accompany her to play, but it would not be so easy for Liu Yuzhuang to reach her goal of setting up a side house. If this was really Liu Yuzhuang’s goal.
Yu Jing whispered to Yong Ruo, “Why did the beauty stay in Shou’an Hall for so long? If you didn’t come out, the slave would have sent someone to Wang Ye for help!”
Yong Ruo smiled, “I was just waiting in the little flower hall for a while. You don’t need to be so nervous. Although the princess has been cold to me, I haven’t made any mistakes, so she won’t do anything to me.”
After returning to the Dustless hall, Feng Liao had not yet returned. Yong Ruo’s meals were delivered, but they have been left too long and turned cold.
The weather was still cold now, and it was impossible to eat cold food.
Yong Ruo told people to bring the cold meals to the tea house, where there was a stove; and asked someone to find a small pot, mixed the food and heated it. She shared it with Yujing and others around the stove. .
Eating this way reminded her of her family, and she was missing them.
When Feng Liao came back, he was already a little drunk. Yong Ruo helped him to the room, washed him with water, and served him to sleep.
The matter of returning to the Yong’s house to save her mother, was left to the next morning.
