The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

After hearing Wan Dong's words, Shen Ruolan responded with an expressionless "Oh" and stopped talking.

Shen Ruolan didn't know what Jiang Dichen meant, but she didn't want to delve into it. He gave it to her, so she just accepted it. After all, she was just a helpless concubine and had no right to refuse even if she wanted to.

Wan Dong saw that Shen Ruolan had no reaction, so she looked at her and asked, "My lady, are you unhappy?"

Shen Ruolan looked at Wan Dong coldly and said, "This is what my son paid for with his life. Do you think I should be happy?"

Although she didn't know what Jiang Dichen was up to, Shen Ruolan knew in her heart that her promotion to concubine was definitely related to her miscarriage and had nothing to do with favoritism.

Since he was so indifferent to his own deceased flesh and blood, how could he love and pamper her, a bed-warming tool?

After Wan Dong heard what Shen Ruolan said, she immediately knelt down and apologized to her, "My lady, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong."

"Get up. You've never had a child, so you can't understand the pain of separation of flesh and blood, and separation of yin and yang. I don't blame you, but this won't happen again." After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she slowly got up from the bed.

"Yes, my lady." After Wan Dong finished speaking, he quickly stood up and helped Shen Ruolan put on her clothes.

After Shen Ruolan put on her clothes, she sat down in front of the dressing table and looked at the person in the mirror carefully.

When she saw the person in the mirror clearly, Shen Ruolan couldn't help but be surprised. The person in the mirror looked very much like Zhao Mingming, with bright eyes, white teeth, and a gentle complexion like jade. She was beautiful without any aggression, stunningly beautiful, yet with a kind of childishness and innocence, which made her very pitiable and charming.

No wonder Jiang Dichen took her away at the palace banquet that day. Her original appearance was indeed much more beautiful than Lan Shurong's mean face.

Wan Dong saw Shen Ruolan staring at herself in the mirror in a daze, so she helped her comb her hair and said, "My lady is very beautiful, and she is a perfect match for the prince."

Shen Ruolan came back to her senses and said to Wan Dong, "Don't say this again. Be careful of what you say."

She is just a concubine, and asking her to be a match for the prince, isn't this an slap in the face of the original wife?

Although the original wife has not entered the house yet, if someone with ulterior motives heard it, she would get into trouble. She just wants to take good care of her health now and doesn't want to cause any trouble.

"Yes," Wan Dong replied with his head down.

After Wan Dong finished speaking, she secretly glanced at her mistress and felt that she had changed. She had become colder and less talkative.

After Shen Ruolan finished washing up and came to the outer room, she saw that the other two maids had prepared breakfast. There was white porridge, buns, chicken soup, and a few side dishes. It was quite rich.

Shen Ruolan recalled that her original daily meals here seemed to be almost the same except for the chicken soup.

The maid in charge of setting the table saw Shen Ruolan looking at the food but not sitting down, so she explained to her, "My lady, the kitchen manager said that you have suffered a lot and need to be well nourished. This chicken soup is specially made for you."

Shen Ruolan looked at the maid who was speaking and said, "Well, thank everyone for me later."

After she finished speaking, she sat down, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a bun and started eating.

Wan Dong brought the chicken soup to her and said, "My lady, drink the chicken soup while it's hot."

Shen Ruolan nodded to Wandong. When she was about to take the chicken soup, suddenly a stone flew in from outside with a "bang", breaking the chicken soup in Wandong's hand.

"Ah" Wandong screamed because of the scalding heat of the chicken soup.

Shen Ruolan was not spared either, but her condition was less severe than Wan Dong's. She looked at the maid beside her and ordered, "Hurry and get a basin of cold water."

"Yes, my lady." After He Yue finished speaking, he hurried to fetch water.

Shen Ruolan looked at Wan Dong and said, "When the cold water comes, take a dip."

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the uninvited guest outside the door, but before she could leave, the other party had already come into her room.

As soon as Jiang Yingxue entered the room, she crossed her arms and asked Shen Ruolan with a proud look on her face, "Are you the woman who was promoted to concubine by the fifth brother last night?"

When Shen Ruolan heard the other party call Jiang Dichen "Fifth Brother", she recalled in her mind and knew who she was. The bright-looking girl in front of her, about thirteen or fourteen years old, was Jiang Dichen's biological sister Jiang Yingxue.

Shen Ruolan bowed to her and said, "I pay my respects to the Ninth Princess. Long live the Ninth Princess."

Who knew that just as Shen Ruolan finished speaking and before she could answer her question, Jiang Yingxue suddenly whipped her with a whip and scolded her with a sullen face: "You daring slave, how dare you not answer the question asked by this princess."

After Jiang Yingxue finished speaking, she raised the whip and was about to hit Shen Ruolan again.

Shen Ruolan had already been whipped once without any preparation, so how could she let him succeed again? She reached out and grabbed Jiang Yingxue's whip tightly, and said to her coldly, "Ninth Princess, you whip me right away, how should I answer?"

Jiang Yingxue was furious when she saw Shen Ruolan dared to resist her. Seeing that she couldn't whip back the whip, she ordered the nanny behind her: "Come here, capture this slave and beat her severely."

After Shen Ruolan heard what Jiang Yingxue said, she looked at the maids who were ready to make a move and said coldly, "This is Prince Han's mansion, do you really want to cause trouble here?"

After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, the maids hesitated for a moment. After all, Prince Han was notoriously cruel. If he really caused trouble here, the days of them, the servants, would be over.

Jiang Yingxue listened to Shen Ruolan's words as if she had heard a joke. She covered her mouth and laughed at Shen Ruolan. She said with disdain, "Lan Wanxi, could it be that my fifth brother slept with you for a few days and you take me seriously?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Ruolan and said word by word: "You are just a toy on my fifth brother's bed. Today, don't even mention that I want to beat you. Even if I want to kill you, my fifth brother won't do anything to me."

Jiang Yingxue's words made Shen Ruolan's heart sink. It seemed that no matter how she gave in today, this high and mighty princess in front of her would not let her go, causing her hands hidden under her sleeves to clench tightly.

Jiang Yingxue looked at the silent Shen Ruolan, thinking that she was frightened by her words. She was in a good mood and shouted to the maids, "Come here, teach this bitch a lesson for me."

"Yes, Princess." After hearing what Jiang Yingxue said, the maids had no more scruples and started to attack Shen Ruolan.

Shen Ruolan didn't want to confront Jiang Yingxue directly, but she looked around and found that there was no place to hide or escape. However, it was not her character to let others humiliate her.

Just when Shen Ruolan was thinking about how to resolve the crisis, three maids came up and hit her in the face left and right, which completely angered Shen Ruolan. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. Even if she, Shen Ruolan, dies today, she will teach this arrogant and domineering princess a lesson.

Shen Ruolan, who had already given up, took out the embroidery needle she carried with her and started fighting with the maids without any scruples.
