The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

Chapter 41: First Encounter with an Old Friend

It's not others' fault for making mistakes. Apart from her identity, Wang Xinru is indeed far superior to her in other aspects.

So she didn't like to take Wang Xinru with her when she went out, for fear that she would steal her limelight. However, this time, in order to give the Earl's Mansion more hope of marrying into the royal family, her father specifically told her mother to take Wang Xinru to the banquet this time.

So she had to take a risky move and push Wang Xinru into the river, leaving her bedridden and unable to attend the banquet, because she knew that with Wang Xinru's cautious personality, she would never dare to run to her father to complain.

"My concubine sister is not feeling well and is recuperating in the mansion. We are not the kind of family that treats concubine sisters harshly." Wang Peiru hunched her waist and raised her head to hide her guilty conscience.

Mu Yan spoke calmly, "Oh? Really? Sick? What's wrong with your sister?"

Wang Peiru was stunned when asked and said angrily.

"It's none of your business. It's best not to meddle in other people's business."

Wang Peiru is really strict with others and lenient with herself. She seems to be in a hurry to manage others, but gets angry when others manage her. Mu Yan can't tolerate her bad habit.

Mu Yan asked back, "Then how I behave is none of your business. You should just take care of your own business. Why did your sister not get sick earlier or later, but got sick today at the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone cast inquiring eyes at Wang Peiru. Who among those sitting around didn't know about the things going on in the backyard? Now that Mu Yan reminded them of this, many people began to daydream.

"You!" Wang Peiru's face turned pale and blue after being confronted by Mu Yan. She was about to lose her temper but was interrupted by Mu Yan.

"Although it is early spring, the weather is still relatively cool. If you accidentally fall into the water, you will definitely get sick. Miss Wang, please be careful and don't walk around the flower pond."

No one except her and Wang Xinru knew about this, but Mu Yan had lived a new life.

Moreover, in the previous life, in order to please her natal family, Wang Peiru's mother married Wang Xinru to a bastard from her natal family who only knew how to eat, drink, gamble and have sex, and also had a tendency to violence.

Wang Xinru knew that even if she married him, she would be dead, so she might as well fight to the death. On the wedding day, in front of many guests, she revealed all the evil things that Meng and Wang Peiru had done over the years, and then banged her head against a pillar, turning a happy event into a funeral.

Is this kind of person qualified to teach her a lesson?

"How do you know? No, my concubine sister didn't fall into the water. What are you talking about, you disfigured freak?"

Wang Peiru confessed without being asked, twisting her handkerchief and stamping her feet in anxiety.

Hearing Wang Peiru's words, the people around couldn't help but change their expressions. Even the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo frowned. Although Mu Yan's face was disfigured, she was not only the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel, but also the legitimate granddaughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery who held military power.

At most, everyone would just discuss it in private, and no one would bring it to the public.

The education of the Earl of Yongkang's family is really worrying. If anyone marries her as their daughter-in-law, they will really marry a troublemaker.

Wang Peiru didn't know that her blunt words left a very bad impression on many wives of noble families.

"It doesn't matter if one's face is ugly, people with bad hearts are even more hideous."

A clear voice sounded, and this voice made Mu Yan feel familiar and at ease.

I saw a woman in a blue riding outfit walking quickly towards me. Different from Mu Yan's aloof and cold beauty, her whole person gave people a heroic feeling.

This is Han Bingjie, the only daughter of General Han’s family. She was her only good friend in her previous life, not only her confidant, but also her comrade-in-arms.

The family has been loyal for generations. Many years ago, Han Bingjie's eldest brother and second brother died in the battlefield, and the third brother was ambushed on the battlefield, resulting in lifelong disability of both legs and he could never stand up again. Among the many loyal and brave descendants of the Han family, only Han Bingjie was left to carry the Han family. She joined the army without hesitation, put on her armor, and went to the battlefield.

She still remembered that in her previous life, she and Han Bingjie fought side by side and won one victory after another. She was good at uniting the troops, and Han Bingjie was good at charging. If Mu Yan was a talented general, then Han Bingjie was a rare general.

They were drunk on the battlefield and vowed to create a prosperous era with peace and prosperity.

Perhaps feeling that Mu Yan's gaze was too hot, Han Bingjie turned her head and looked at her. Their eyes met. Han Bing thought her eyes were a kind of gratitude, and said to her.

"People in this world are ignorant and only care about the outer appearance, but they don't know that the interesting soul underneath the skin is often more valuable."

In her previous life, when people were talking about her appearance, Han Bingjie stood up to defend her and said something to her that she would never forget.

Such a close friend is rare.

Mu Yan's eyes were burning, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "Miss Han is so young, yet she has such insights. I really admire her, but how can an ignorant person understand it?"

Wang Peiru looked at the two of them singing the same tune, insulting her openly and secretly, and suddenly she felt ashamed and angry, and sneered.

"Humph, since ancient times, everyone has a love for beauty, but I have never heard of anyone loving ugliness."

"Hahaha, that's quite interesting."

A clear and crisp voice attracted everyone's attention. As everyone turned around, a yellow python robe came into view. Everyone consciously stood on both sides to open up a passage.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and greetings to His Royal Highness King Xuan."

The man wearing a yellow dragon robe and with a gentle face is the current Crown Prince, Mo Yanli, and next to him is a man in purple, this is the current emperor's most beloved Prince Xuan, Mo Wenjing. Prince Xuan inherited the beauty of Concubine Jing and is extremely handsome.

Mo Yanli looked at Wang Peiru with a hint of interest in his eyes, "Who is this?"

Seeing that the Crown Prince had noticed her, Wang Peiru twisted her waist and greeted His Royal Highness, "Your Highness, I am Wang Peiru, the eldest daughter of the Yongkang Earl's Mansion."

"That's an interesting thing you said."

The women around him were all well-educated, well-mannered and rule-abiding. They would even think twice before talking to him. It was really boring. It was rare to see such a straightforward and interesting woman.

Mu Yan's eyes were deep and she shook her head slightly. It seemed that in this life, our Crown Prince was attracted to Wang Peiru again. Now he didn't know that Wang Peiru was not some candied delicacy, but the lamp of the underworld that led him to dethronement. His road to becoming an emperor was nothing but a dream.

"Brother, I think what Miss Han said makes more sense and is quite meaningful."

Prince Xuan was the Emperor's favorite prince, but he lost to the Crown Prince because he was the eldest son of the Empress. Therefore, Prince Xuan had been secretly trying to win over court officials, and the Han family of the General of Cavalry was one of the targets he was trying to win over. If he could marry the only daughter of the Han family, with the prestige of the Han family in the army, it would greatly enhance his prestige.

Although the power of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery behind Mu Yan is greater, a woman with a disfigured face is really not something that can arouse interest.
