The passers-by are vicious

When they reached the courtyard with the plaque of Sui Yu Xuan hanging on it, the housekeeper said goodbye to Jiang Wanwan.

"I have other matters to attend to in the mansion, so I will not go in. If Madam has anything to say, please send someone to call me."

Jiang Wanwan walked into the yard with Qiuyu's support. The maids stood on both sides and bowed slightly to Jiang Wanwan.

The sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard grew strong and its leaves rustled, bringing the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus into the air.

But Jiang Wanwan had no mood to appreciate it and instead covered her nose with a handkerchief inconspicuously.

After all, the more beautiful the osmanthus flowers bloom, the more dangerous they are. Who knows how many are buried underneath...

When she was brought into the house by the maid, she saw Zheng Zhaorong with her head full of luxurious headdresses.

Her pretty face was painted with slightly heavy make-up and pink blush on both sides of her cheeks.

She even painted her lips with vermilion rouge, making her look flamboyant and out of step with her age.

She seemed to have not rested well, with dark circles under her eyes and an even older look on her face.

As soon as she entered the room, Jiang Wanwan glanced around and felt a slight fishy smell mixed with fragrance.

Thinking of what Situ Rui had said to him, he couldn't help but glance at the wrist of Zheng Zhaorong who was sitting above him.

But it was hidden by the wide sleeves and nothing could be seen.

"Jiang Wanwan, things have changed. You probably didn't expect that I am now the concubine of Prince Yong'an Situ Haonan, and my status is higher than yours. Shouldn't you bow to me?"

As soon as the master and his servants entered the room and had not yet sat down, Zheng Zhaorong couldn't wait to raise her chin and look down at Jiang Wanwan.

Jiang Wanwan did not bow but sat down with Qiuyu's help. She did not respond to Zheng Zhaorong's words but raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to be much more haggard. Did you not get enough rest?"

Zheng Zhaorong subconsciously touched her right wrist and was in a trance for a moment.

After realizing what was happening, she immediately put her hands down, slammed the table and shouted: "Madam Sheng, I asked you a question, but you didn't answer or bow. Instead, you looked around and talked about other things. Do you think you don't take me seriously?"

Jiang Wanwan didn't even stand up and said perfunctorily: "Greetings, concubine."

"Jiang Wanwan, you are only the wife of the minister now, and I am the prince's concubine. How dare you fool me like this?"

Seeing her perfunctory attitude, Zheng Zhaorong was furious and pointed at Jiang Wanwan and cursed: "Jiang Wanwan, you are just a second-married vixen, what qualifications do you have to sit there and talk to me! Kneel down for me!"

Jiang Wanwan looked at her furious expression and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"Zheng Zhaorong, don't forget your status. You are just a concubine, and I am the wife of the Shangshu Mansion. In terms of status and position, I am not much lower than you."

Zheng Zhaorong was so angry at Jiang Wanwan's words that her face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and said, "Jiang Wanwan, don't be so proud too soon. Wait until the prince comes back and see how he will deal with you!"

Jiang Wanwan looked at her fearlessly and smiled softly.

"Okay, I want to see if Prince Yong'an Situ Haonan will punish me, the wife of the Minister of Personnel, the eldest princess' daughter-in-law, and the niece of the current emperor, for you."

Zheng Zhaorong lifted the teacup on the table and smashed it to the ground.

She had paid so much that every few days she had to cut her wrists and let her blood flow to the old pervert to drink.

But after Jiang Wanwan came, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she was arrogant and at ease, and even dared to talk back to her!

Zheng Zhaorong was so angry that her face turned red, her fingers were clenched into fists, and her nails dug deeply into her palms.

Does this mean that she, Zheng Zhaorong, doesn't dare to deal with her?

She clapped her hands on the table and said, "Since Madam Sheng is so rude, why don't you stay and let me teach you the rules."

Zheng Zhaorong said this through gritted teeth, with a fierce light flashing in her eyes.

He was secretly proud of himself that he had finally found an opportunity to teach Jiang Wanwan, that vixen, a lesson.

Just when Zheng Zhaorong was about to order someone to drag Jiang Wanwan away and give her twenty lashes of the cane, she suddenly had an idea that was even more vicious.

A sinister smile appeared on her lips, and she ordered loudly: "Someone hold Madam Sheng down."

Doesn’t that old pervert like to drink the blood of beautiful people? Then she will cut Jiang Wanwan’s blood.

Hearing this order, the servants who were standing outside immediately walked into the room.

Jiang Wanwan just sat there, without the slightest trace of fear on her face.

Qiu Yu stood in front of his wife without hesitation, but was easily subdued by the servants and made to kneel on the floor.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanwan was not panicked. She wanted to see what Zheng Zhaorong was going to do.

He picked up the teacup and looked at it, but still didn't drink it.

I just smelled a pungent smell of blood everywhere.

At the same time, Zheng Zhaorong personally walked towards Jiang Wanwan, holding a sharp dagger and a bowl.

There was a cruel light flashing in her eyes, as if she couldn't wait to see Jiang Wanwan cutting her wrists and begging for mercy in pain.

At this moment, Situ Rui, dressed in a purple robe and with a gloomy face, suddenly rushed in and shouted in a deep voice to send away the servant who was about to arrest Jiang Wanwan.

"How come I didn't know when Concubine Zheng took charge of the palace?"

Zheng Zhaorong stood up and staggered when she saw this, but fortunately she was supported by a maid.

Her eyes widened. "Your Highness, as a man from outside, actually broke into my yard. What do you want to do? Don't forget that I am your stepmother now."

Situ Rui sneered with disdain. The handsome face of Zheng Zhaorong that he used to find pleasing to the eye now showed contempt.

"She is just a concubine, yet you dare to call yourself my son's concubine mother."

His phoenix eyes were raised just like those of Prince Yong'an Situ Haonan, and he looked at Zheng Zhaorong with coldness, as if he didn't take her seriously at all.

In fact, Situ Rui never took Zheng Zhaorong seriously.

But she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Wanwan, but considering the other people around her, she had to pretend to be a stranger and smiled at Jiang Wanwan.

"Mrs. Sheng was frightened. It was the palace that was disrespectful."

Jiang Wanwan nodded with a distant look in her eyes, "Your Excellency, you are too kind."

As if she didn't know Situ Rui at all, Zheng Zhaorong didn't notice any clues.

I just thought that Situ Rui came to stop me just by chance after hearing the news.

"Sir, I am the mistress of the palace, please don't meddle in other people's business."

Zheng Zhaorong also took the risk and directly confronted Situ Rui.

After all, she might die from bleeding to death someday, so it would be better to take this opportunity to deal with Jiang Wanwan, this vixen.

Hearing that Zheng Zhaorong dared to call herself the mistress of the palace so shamelessly, Situ Rui could not help but chuckle, his eyes full of mockery.

Those phoenix eyes, as deep as a pool, looked at Zheng Zhaorong with a smile.

Although Situ Rui was still handsome, Zheng Zhaorong could see the same viciousness in him as that of Prince Yong'an Situ Haonan, which made her feel cold all over as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and she was terrified.

"Since you want to become the mistress of the palace so much, then this prince will grant you your wish."

Situ Rui waved his hand indifferently, and immediately two guards carried a vermilion coffin into the hall and placed it on the ground.

"You are just a concubine. You dare to act recklessly in the Yong'an Palace and harm the families of court officials. It is better to be buried in peace. After you die, I will ask my father to make you a princess, which will also fulfill your wish to become the mistress of the palace."

After saying that, Situ Rui waved his hand again and ordered people to capture Zheng Zhaorong.

Zheng Zhaorong was so frightened that her face turned pale and her body trembled.

She dodged in a hurry, and at the same time raised her finger and shouted in a bluffing manner: "You dare, aren't you afraid that the prince will know..."

"You really think you are nothing. That old man doesn't take you seriously at all. Even if I kill you all, he will just find another woman."

Situ Rui snorted with disdain in his phoenix eyes, thinking that Zheng Zhaorong was extremely stupid.

She actually thought that her old father would protect her.

From the beginning to the end, Jiang Wanwan sat quietly in the chair, watching Zheng Zhaorong's changing expressions coldly.

In the end, Situ Rui did not put Zheng Zhaorong into the coffin because he received news that Prince Yong'an Situ Haonan was about to return.

His expression immediately changed and he looked at Jiang Wanwan.

Jiang Wanwan immediately said after receiving the look: "I had a very pleasant conversation with Concubine Zheng today, but it seems inconvenient for an outsider like me to be here, so I will take my leave first."

After saying this, without waiting for Situ Rui and Zheng Zhaorong's reply, she hurried out with Qiuyu, the two maids.

When I reached the door, I vaguely saw a carriage approaching with the sign of Prince Yong'an's Palace on it.

Jiang Wanwan immediately quickened her pace and boarded the carriage without waiting for Qiuyu to help her. She then urged, "Let's go."

She didn't want to meet that old pervert, Prince Yong'an Situ Haonan.

"drive."

Hearing Jiang Wanwan's order, the coachman naturally whipped his whip, and the guards around him followed him towards the Sheng Mansion.

It just happened to be going in the opposite direction from the carriage of Yong'an Prince Situ Haonan.

After Prince Yong'an Situ Haonan dismounted from his horse, he could only see the shadow of a carriage with the Sheng family logo engraved on it going away.

His eyes were slightly raised and a hint of regret appeared on his handsome face. It seemed that he came back too late.

Otherwise, I really want to meet a woman who can make Sheng Hongyi so crazy that his many sons want to marry her.

She must be an unrivaled beauty.

I just don't know what her blood tastes like.

He ultimately did not make it to the banquet that day, so naturally he did not see Jiang Wanwan.

Jiang Wanwan, who was sitting in the carriage, slightly lifted the curtain and looked back, only to see a man in a red robe who looked similar to Situ Rui.

That is Prince Yong'an Situ Haonan. He has the same phoenix eyes, but he has a sinister feeling.

It's just that he is about the same age as the current emperor Li Min, and just looking at his figure he doesn't look like a middle-aged man.

His face looked very young, but he lacked the vigor and vitality of youth. Instead, he looked cold and gloomy.

Although there are fine lines at the corners of his eyes, if you don't look closely, you really can't believe that Prince Yong'an Situ Haonan is already an old man.

Of course Jiang Wanwan’s eyesight wasn’t that good, so she used something called binoculars on the carriage to see, which Sheng Hongyi bought from the foreigner.

After he discovered that this thing could see very far, he installed it on the Sheng family's carriage. As long as he got close to the cylinder, he could see the scene behind the carriage.

And it was with this thing that Jiang Wanwan was able to see the face of Prince Yong'an Situ Haonan clearly.

Prince Yong'an Situ Haonan, who was about to enter the palace, suddenly looked sideways, but could only see a carriage far away.

Surrounded by civilians, he noticed the sight, but couldn't find the owner of the sight.

I thought it was interesting.

He entered the palace with his hands behind his back.

Qiu Yu suddenly cried out in the carriage, "Madam, you are injured."

Jiang Wanwan was startled and quickly looked down to see that there was indeed a small dot on one of her fingers.

If it was later, everything would be healed.

But Qiuyu hurriedly took a handkerchief to wrap Jiang Wanwan's fingers, with a worried look on her face.

"We must go back and ask the doctor to give Madam medicine."

In response to this, Jiang Wanwan could only sigh and pull her hand back, "No need, it's already healed."

Qiuyu took off the handkerchief wrapped around Jiang Wanwan's finger and sure enough, the small wound had disappeared.

At the Prince Yong'an's Palace, Situ Rui had no intention of dealing with Zheng Zhaorong after Jiang Wanwan left. He just gave her a warning and left.

When Prince Yong'an Situ Haonan arrived, Zheng Zhaorong immediately covered her face with a handkerchief and cried to Prince Yong'an Situ Haonan that Prince Situ Rui bullied her.

Unfortunately, Situ Haonan waved his hand nonchalantly, and then asked someone to bring a bowl and a dagger and place them in front of Zheng Zhaorong.

Zheng Zhaorong had no time to cry at this moment. She looked up at Situ Haonan's smiling cold eyes with a pale face and her body trembled.

"I just had a circumcision yesterday, I'm afraid there's no blood left."

Situ Haonan raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Really? Okay then."

Before Zheng Zhaorong could breathe a sigh of relief and think that he had escaped a disaster, the next second, he heard Situ Haonan say: "Since it is useless, drag it away and feed it to the dogs."

As soon as he finished speaking, several servants came in and tried to drag Zheng Zhaorong away from her seat.

Zheng Zhaorong was so frightened that she immediately trembled and said, "Your Highness, I still have blood, I can still be useful."

As she said this, she picked up a dagger and cut her wrist, which had just healed. Her face gradually turned pale as the blood flowed. She cried out in pain and did not stop until she had received half a bowl of blood.

Zheng Zhaorong held the bowl with a sad smile on her face, "Your Majesty, you see, I am still useful."

Situ Haonan asked someone to bring the bowl over, and it just so happened that the seat where Situ Haonan was sitting was the seat where Jiang Wanwan had sat before.

The servant was about to take the teacup off the table, but was stopped by someone.

I saw a small, barely noticeable crack on the edge of the teacup, which was stained with a hint of red.

Situ Haonan picked it up and put it on the tip of the pen and smelled it lightly, his eyes raised and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Jiang family."

When Zheng Zhaorong saw this scene, she was slightly delighted. It seemed that the old pervert had already set his eyes on that vixen Jiang Wanwan.

Thinking that she would end up like herself, Zheng Zhaorong couldn't help but feel happy.

…………

Jiang Wanwan didn't know that she was being targeted at this time. She was flying kites in a garden in the suburbs with Sheng Hongyi and Sheng Ying.

Lush green trees and lush green grass.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, creating patches of mottled light and shadows.

Jiang Wanwan and Sheng Ying held the string together, while Sheng Hongyi gently hugged Jiang Wanwan's slender waist. The three of them looked up at the Goshawk kite flying in the sky.

Jiang Wanwan's beautiful face was filled with smiles. She held the reel tightly, and as the breeze blew, she sometimes pulled it to the left, sometimes to the right, gradually letting out the line, allowing the kite to fly higher and farther.

"Slow down, the line is about to break!"

Sheng Ying's cheerful voice was heard, and he also pulled the string nervously, staring at the kite flying in the sky without blinking.
