The sarcastic smile on Princess An Ning's lips suddenly disappeared.

Murong Ling didn't notice Princess An Ning's change of mood. She acted aggrievedly and coquettishly towards her, "Aunt, did you see that? This is the orphan girl that Prince Lu married. Yesterday, I went to the maple forest to enjoy the scenery, and she was so domineering that she drove me away."

"She doesn't even take us members of the royal family seriously. Just because she's married to Lu Jiangnian, she's so arrogant."

Princess Qin tugged at her hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I don't know your temper. You're still making a fuss even when it's unreasonable. If it was really Madam Lu who drove you away, you would have made a big fuss."

The Princess of Qin really wanted to beat this evil creature to death.

Out of respect for Princess An Ning, the Wang family finally agreed. After returning to Beijing, the two families invited the official matchmaker to discuss the marriage.

Murong Ling still insisted on picking on Lu Jiangnian's wife in front of the Wang family. What else could it be but lingering feelings?

Princess Qin glanced over and saw that Madam Wang's face did not look good.

Murong Ling broke free from the Qin Wangfei's hand, took two steps forward, and approached Princess An Ning. "Aunt, I'm just afraid of my mother's control, so I endure it. Otherwise, she would force me to leave the capital again."

"Aunt, my mother has always been gentle and likes to keep things quiet. You are different. You have always been a heroine who does not tolerate any injustice. Yuan Wanru has neglected the royal bloodline like this. Do you think she should be punished?"

Princess An Ning looked at Yuan Wanru calmly: "Is that so?"

Lu Jiangnian couldn't help but wanted to speak, but Yuan Wanru shook her head at him imperceptibly.

"I wasn't the only one in the maple forest yesterday. Princess, do you think you can confuse right and wrong just by talking like that?"

"The eldest princess and the princess consort are both sensible and intelligent elders. How could they be so easily deceived?"

While speaking, she kept smiling and noticed the changes in the eldest princess's expression. When she heard her voice, there was indeed a fluctuation in the eyes of Princess An Ning opposite her.

It seems that it is really her.

What a coincidence.

Murong Ling said unconvincedly, "I'm telling the truth. Aunt, look, she's still so sharp-tongued in front of you. You should know how arrogant she is to me on a daily basis."

Princess An Ning patted her hands and said, "Alright, stop saying those angry words. I don't think she has the guts to look down on the royal family. After all, she's a smart person."

"What do you think, Mrs. Lu?"

Yuan Wanru replied pointedly, "Of course, I always know what to say and what not to say. I know exactly what to say and never speak without thinking."

Lu Jiangnian looked at the two of them thoughtfully, feeling that there was something else behind their words.

Princess An Ning smiled inexplicably, "Well, you'd better keep your word. Otherwise, I don't like women who gossip."

These words carried a hint of murderous intent and a strong threat.

Lu Jiangnian's eyes were dark, and he slightly blocked Yuan Wanru's way. However, Yuan Wanru seemed unaware of it and continued to smile calmly and calmly: "Oh, me too."

Everyone present was a little confused.

Yuan Wanru didn't want to delay any longer. "I'm sure everyone has heard about what happened in the carriage just now. Miss Sun and I are good friends. She was injured and couldn't come, so she asked me to come and see Miss Kong and ask her what happened at that time."

Murong Ling refused firmly.

"Who are you? If anyone comes, it's the Sun family. Is it your turn to step forward?"

"This is our tea shed. We've lent it to the Kong family, but why should we let you in?"

Yuan Wanru ignored her. The person with the most power here was Princess An Ning.

"I wonder if Your Highness, the Princess, could do me a favor?"

Murong Ling coquettishly shook Princess An Ning's arm and said, "Aunt, please do me a favor right now. She has bullied me several times. Please vent my anger and don't let her in."

Princess Qin called out to her disapprovingly, "Ling'er, stop messing around."

Murong Ling gritted her teeth and looked at Princess An Ning with great grievance, "Please just be kind to me."

Under normal circumstances, Princess An Ning would of course do as she wishes. After all, the person in front of her is her own relative. Helping relatives and not others, and doing whatever she wants, is her usual style.

However, the woman in front of her was a little special, and there was no need for her to become enemies with Yuan Wanru over such a small matter.

"Okay, I'm here for business. Why are you stopping me? Don't lose your composure."

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, signaling the guards surrounding the tea shed to move aside, "You can go in."

Yuan Wanru bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

-

Because the injured person inside was a woman, Lu Jiangnian did not enter to avoid suspicion.

After Yuan Wanru entered, she found that the teahouse was very large, with two rooms separated by an inner and outer room. Kong Xiuyun was being treated in the inner room.

There were several people standing outside, they were her relatives.

Seeing Yuan Wanru coming, everyone was confused. Yuan Wanru explained the reason. Mrs. Kong's eyes were red, and she lowered her voice with grief and anger: "We all saw what happened just now. We know that it was my daughter who implicated Miss Sun."

"I wonder how Miss Sun's injuries are?"

The whole family was concerned about Kong Xiuyun and didn't have the time to find out about Sun Haining's situation. To be honest, they were in the wrong.

"Her foot was injured, but it shouldn't be serious."

Yuan Wanru asked, "I don't know, did Miss Kong tell me why the horse went crazy?"

A young man choked up and replied, "No, my sister was in so much pain that she couldn't explain the whole thing."

"Could you please tell the Sun family to wait a moment until my sister is better, and then we can discuss this matter."

At this time, a maid came out holding a lot of dirty clothes. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. Mrs. Kong saw her and took her hand, repeatedly asking: "What's going on in there? How is my child?"

The maid cried until she was out of breath, and she spoke out while suppressing her sadness.

"The girl... was in so much pain that she fainted, and then woke up again."

"It's been bandaged now. The doctor said her life is safe, but... the girl's leg... might..."

The words were not finished, but everyone understood that Kong Xiuyun might become lame.

Mrs. Kong couldn't bear the shock and fainted.

The room outside was a mess, and it was indeed not appropriate for Yuan Wanru to stay.

She walked over and took the clothes from the maid's hands: "Is this what Miss Kong changed out of?"

The maid nodded repeatedly, feeling very nervous. "How is the Madam?"

Although the room was filled with a strong smell of blood, Yuan Wanru still smelled an unusual scent from the clothes.

Her eyes fell on the bloody purse, and then she pulled it out calmly.

He left the tea stall quietly.
