Shengjing Noble

Chapter 496 No sense of proportion

After paying respects to the Queen Mother, it was time to return home.

It’s just that the Emperor and Fu Wuyang still had some official business to discuss, so he asked Su Lanyin and Shen Ruchu to go back first.

Looking at the two carriages, it should be one for each person, but Shen Ruchu insisted on riding with Su Lanyin.

"Princess, please take another one."

"I have something to tell you."

Su Lanyin nodded: "Okay, you go ahead."

The carriage moved slowly, and the two people sitting in the carriage looked at each other.

Although the love rivals were extremely jealous when they met, Su Lanyin had an indifferent expression, which made Shen Ruchu look a little fierce.

She also gathered herself together and resumed her arrogant look.

"Su Lanyin, don't think that you are superior to me just because you are favored. No matter when, you are just a concubine of Xiaoyao Palace!"

Su Lanyin found her bossy look ridiculous.

"Princess, are you trying to establish my authority?"

"I guess so. What, do you have any objection?"

"No, you are right, I am a concubine after all."

My children...will only be illegitimate children in the future.

Because of her background, she was looked down upon by her father and grandmother and suffered a lot of bullying since she was young.

Now, how could she let her future child also be born out of wedlock?

In her previous life, she had heard Su Lanxin mention that the future society would be monogamous, and if the relationship was not going well, they could still divorce.

Moreover, the woman will not be looked down upon or despised.

In that world, everyone is equal, and there is no such thing as male superiority or female inferiority.

So, after being reborn, she was also wondering, why couldn't this dynasty become like that?

She didn't want to be a concubine, nor did she want to let her future child suffer, so she was deeply disappointed in Fu Wuyang.

He never asked her what she wanted, in other words, it was selfish and showed disrespect and disrespect for her.

There wasn't even a proposal, only a cold imperial decree granting marriage.

Su Lanyin couldn't love Fu Wuyang like this.

But for now, she couldn't leave and could only wait slowly.

After returning to the palace safely, Shen Ruchu fainted in front of everyone as soon as he got off the carriage.

Before Su Lanyin could react, she heard Nanny Wang pointing at her and yelling, "How dare you insult the princess and make her faint?"

"I do not have."

The two of them were in the carriage just now and didn't even have an argument.

Although Shen Ruchu had been looking for trouble, she remained indifferent and kept silent, treating him as if he was just farting.

Because she knew that Shen Ruchu wanted to scam her, but she didn't expect that the other party would scam her even though she didn't say or do anything.

I'm so speechless.

Su Lanyin just stood there, with no one behind her. She was surrounded by servants from the palace, whispering to her.

"Isn't this concubine too abominable? Not only did she steal the prince's favor, but she also bullied the princess!"

"Yes! The princess is a noble lady from a famous family. Why would she, a merchant girl, do that?"

"Isn't it just relying on the prince's favor to do whatever he wants? This is really too much!"

"The prince is really blind. He gave up the princess who is of noble birth and well-educated, and favored a commoner like her."

……

The voices around her were rising and falling. If it were in the past, Su Lanyin would definitely have fought back.

But now, she just felt weak all over.

Why should she fight against another woman in the same situation because of a man she doesn't love?

Su Lanyin sighed helplessly: "Shen Ruchu, I really don't want to be your enemy, but if you really want to do this, then I'm always here to accompany you."

After saying that, he turned around and walked directly into the palace.

Shen Ruchu was carried back to the main courtyard by Nanny Wang and others. Soon, the news that the concubine bullied the princess in public and even made her faint from anger spread throughout the streets and alleys.

It was originally a fabricated story, but after being passed on by word of mouth, it became more and more outrageous.

Some people said that Su Lanyin slapped Shen Ruchu three times in public, causing her to faint on the ground.

Some people also said that Su Lanyin loudly threatened to drive Shen Ruchu out of the palace and that she was the princess.

Some even said that Su Lanyin was a monster who had bewitched the prince and used witchcraft to kill Shen Ruchu and take his place.

……

In short, there are all kinds of versions, but the only thing that remains unchanged is that Su Lanyin is a spoiled, vicious bad woman, while Shen Ruchu is a pure, innocent, and pure lotus who can only suffer injustice.

Fu Wuyang didn't take the news seriously when he heard it, but he heard those people talk about it with details, and some even said that they saw Su Lanyin beat Shen Ruchu with their own eyes.

Now, he finally began to have some doubts.

So as soon as he came back, he went straight to the main courtyard to visit Shen Ruchu.

"what happened?"

As soon as Fu Wuyang entered the room, he saw Shen Ruchu lying on the bed with a pale face, and a doctor was standing beside him.

Nanny Wang said angrily, "Your Majesty, my princess has really suffered a great injustice..."

"Mommy!"

Shen Ruchu shouted loudly, then coughed twice and became weak.

"Your Highness, don't listen to their nonsense. It's all because of my poor health that I fell ill after marrying into the family."

Fu Wuyang questioned, "You were so energetic before, why are you so sick now? Doctor, what's going on?"

The doctor lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the princess is feeling unwell because of anger..."

"Anger and anger?" Fu Wuyang interrupted him and immediately looked at Shen Ruchu, "Did Yinyin really attack you?"

"No!" Shen Ruchu shook his head quickly, but a light red mark appeared on his cheek without him noticing.

She seemed to be trying to hide something, and quickly turned her head away, saying in a somewhat aggrieved manner: "It has nothing to do with Concubine Su. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have taken the initiative to approach her and try to show my good will to her. It's all my fault for not knowing my limits..."

Fu Wuyang didn't believe that Su Lanyin was that kind of person. After all, they had been together for so long that they knew each other.

But Shen Ruchu and he had known each other since childhood, so he would not lie or deliberately frame others.

What's more, she didn't complain and was even covering it up.

Fu Wuyang's mind was in a mess, and he could only try not to think about it.

He sat beside the bed and comforted her, "No matter what, we are a family from now on. Yinyin has a straightforward personality, and perhaps some of her words may make you uncomfortable, but as the mistress, you should be more tolerant and don't be petty and get angry and hurt yourself."

Shen Ruchu didn't expect that he was still making excuses for Su Lanyin even after all this, so she shed tears of grievance and nodded obediently.

"Yes, I will listen to you, Your Highness. My mother also taught me before I got married that I should focus on the overall situation and not let trivial matters affect the atmosphere at home. Your Highness, rest assured, I will be extra good to Concubine Su and let her accept me."

Fu Wuyang was very satisfied: "Okay, thank you for your understanding, have a good rest, I will come to see you later."

After saying that, he stood up and left impatiently.

Seeing that he didn't want to stay any longer, Shen Ruchu cried even more aggrievedly: "He is in a hurry to find that bitch Su Lanyin! Wuuuuuu... What's so good about her? How am I inferior to her!"
