Shen Wanwan didn't care what the driver was thinking. Since he had hit her in the face with the abacus beads, there was no reason not to return the favor.

"Prince Rui doesn't know that my mother and I just returned to the Marquis' Mansion last night. However, the mansion is now run by the noble concubine and the wife. Even the gatekeepers don't take us seriously. They block the door and won't let us in. They even..."

Shen Wanwan sniffed, "My father almost didn't make it into the mansion. He was going to the farm to pick up my mother and me, and on the way back, he overturned his car and broke his leg. My mother and I finally brought him back to the city, but the servant he brought with him stopped us and told us to go see a doctor first, saying that there was a doctor in the mansion.

"When we got back to the mansion gate, the gatekeeper said that the mistress and the young lady had been inside the mansion and had never left. They refused to let us in and even sent someone to chase us away from the mansion gate.

"Luckily, the housekeeper came and recognized my father, so my mother and I were able to enter the mansion. However, the mansion doctor only listened to the orders of the concubines and didn't treat my father's leg properly. That's why I thought of going to the pharmacy to get medicine for my father myself. I didn't expect this dog servant to be so blind as to offend you."

After Shen Wanwan finished speaking, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and shed two more tears.

King Rui: “???”

He had already inquired about it. Pei Wanwan had lived in the countryside for seven years and had never returned to the capital. Naturally, she had never seen the world. This kind of girl was most likely to fall in love at first sight with a handsome man she met for the first time.

He was still thinking of planning an opportunity to meet her by chance, so that she would be devoted to him and be used by him. He didn't expect that the opportunity would come too suddenly. He was secretly happy for a while, but after she said this, he didn't know how to respond.

To appease her and say that the noble concubine of the Marquis' Mansion is just a concubine? Wouldn't that confirm that Marquis Pei favors his concubine over his wife?

There had been such rumors before, but they were just rumors. If he said this today, Pei Bailiang would be almost useless.

But if he simply ignored this topic, how could he let it go when the girl was crying and complaining in the street?

No, Pei Bailiang broke his leg. What happened?

Shen Wanwan's topic, however, sparked a buzz among the onlookers, who began to discuss in low voices:

"I also heard about what happened at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion last night. It's true. The noble concubine of the Marquis' Mansion has become extremely arrogant due to her favor."

"Who said she wasn't? She's clearly a concubine. Do you really think that calling me your concubine makes me your wife?"

"You probably don't know, but the Marquis' Mansion only recognizes her as their wife, both openly and secretly."

The sound of whispering was heard. Prince Rui looked unhappy, and the driver of the Marquis's Mansion looked terrified. Ruoyun was stunned. How could the news spread so quickly after only one night?

Shen Wanwan calmly wiped away her tears.

"Now this dog servant has taken advantage of his power to bully others and has offended you, Your Highness. I apologize to you here. If you are not satisfied, Your Highness can take him away and do with him as you please. He is just a servant. I am sure your Madam will not make a fuss with you."

King Rui: “???”

How should he respond to this?

To punish a dog slave, he had to go toe to toe with the noble concubine of the Marquis' Mansion? He couldn't afford to lose face like that!

Shen Wanwan bowed to Prince Rui again, "My father's leg is seriously injured. I'm in a hurry to get him some medicine, so I won't bother you any more."

As soon as she finished speaking, she called her maid Ruoyun and got out of the crowd of onlookers. She quickly disappeared into the street, leaving the onlookers looking at each other in bewilderment.

The coachman of the Marquis's Mansion looked at Prince Rui in fear, and suddenly knelt down in front of him with a plop.

The veins on Prince Rui's forehead throbbed. He glared at the driver, flicked his sleeves, turned around and got back on the carriage, "Go back home!"

King Rui's carriage slowly drove away, and the pedestrians on the street slowly dispersed when they saw that there was nothing exciting to watch.

"Let's go, let's go back home and find our fathers!"

Inside the carriage, the gray-robed man looked at the unhappy King Rui and suddenly said, "Did that girl really just come back from the countryside?"

King Rui nodded and asked casually, "Did you discover anything?"

"It's just strange. I always feel like she's alone."
