Chapter 31: Contradictions

Chen Ruzhi felt that he couldn't understand Bai Wanrou.

Previously, it was she who told herself the truth about that year behind a tree in a hoarse voice, but now it is she who is pointlessly complaining in the room that she doesn't like herself.

Is he just a dispensable plaything in her eyes?

However, when he thought about his initial attitude towards Bai Wanrou, Chen Ruzhi felt a little unable to say harsh words.

He knew very well in his heart who the person who had hurt her the most was.

He also knew that when she first entered the palace, her life was somewhat worse than that of the servants.

Chen Ruzhi covered his heart. For some reason, he felt a little distressed when he thought of these things again.

It seems that he is blaming himself for being unscrupulous in the past.

I also feel sorry for Bai Wanrou who has gone through so much suffering.

He turned sideways and looked at Lin Yi, then his face darkened and he couldn't bear to say anything. Then he turned to look in Bai Wanrou's direction, his expression a little gloomy.

Lin Yi looked surprised. The prince has never been a procrastinator.

"What kind of madness do you think she is suffering from?" Chen Ruzhi frowned, turned around three times in one step, and then muttered such shocking words in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, what did you say?" Lin Yi asked, not hearing clearly, but Chen Ruzhi slapped him directly on the back of the head.

"What, what, what! Let me ask you what's wrong with her. I can't understand this little woman more and more in the past two days!" Chen Ruzhi's face flushed slightly, and he faintly suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart.

Lin Yi felt confused when he heard this question.

His prince has always been very confident and never pays attention to the opinions of others.

Lin Yi covered his head, speechless, his face wrinkled together: "I've never seen you care so much about the princess before..."

Chen Ruzhi cleared his throat and looked a little unnatural. Fortunately, night had come, otherwise he would have been embarrassed on the spot.

Seeing this, Lin Yi replied:

"I dare to ask the prince, what kind of feelings do you have towards the princess?"

Chen Ruzhi couldn't say anything and hesitated for a long time, but still just raised and put down the hand hanging by his side.

Lin Yi keenly noticed something was wrong: he no longer prohibited himself from calling Bai Wanrou his princess.

This means that he has already acquiesced in the marital relationship with Bai Wanrou.

Lin Yi thought about it and felt that as his subordinate all along, he still needed to remind Chen Ruzhi.

"Your Majesty, you have been behaving so abnormally towards the princess recently. Maybe you are... tempted."

When he heard the last three words, Chen Ruzhi's face, which had been pretending to be serious, was suddenly startled, and then he coughed violently.

"Nonsense! Go! Do your good job, how can you learn to be so busy? I'm afraid you are too idle." He scolded in a low voice.

This conversation finally ended without any problem when Chen Ruzhi waved his hand and left.

But they didn't know that at dawn the next day, a terrifying conversation was taking place in another dark, dirty and dirty place in the palace.

"Little... miss, what should we do now? Are we really locked up here?"

Xiao Tao, who failed to go out, returned in vain, but was only treated coldly by Yue Yi.

Apparently she was dissatisfied with Xiaotao for not continuing to call her princess when no one was around.

But now that the punishment of imprisonment is right in front of her, she has no energy to correct Xiao Tao anymore.

"This Bai Wanrou - she is really a master who knows how to find trouble!"

She snorted harshly, and there was boundless coldness in her eyes, which was worse than the white snow in the vast sky.

"Then, miss, should we use the fetus in your belly to ask for a favor from the prince?"

"Maybe he will let us out if he feels sorry for us?"

Xiao Tao's face showed a mixture of innocence and conspiracy, and her tone didn't sound gentle at all.

The servants staying in the yard heard a loud sound of broken glass coming from the room.

Then there was the clanging sound of metal and stone hitting each other.

After a while, the room fell into silence.

At that time, Xiao Tao knelt on the cold ground and timidly looked at the bricks on the ground.

In front of her was Yueyi, who was so angry that he smashed half of the room.

"Child, child, this child is the cause of all the trouble!"

Yueyi seemed to be going crazy and kept repeating this sentence.

However, this situation did not last long. Just when Xiaotao was thinking about whether to go up and hold her, she calmed down.

Yueyi sat on the chair, silence filled the room.

Not long after, maybe just for a moment, her expression returned to normal.

"Little... miss?"

Xiaotao raised her head tentatively and asked.

Yueyi looked at her, her tone was cold without any warmth, as if a dead person was exhaling, "Don't mention such words in front of me again in the future."

"The only bargaining chip I have now is the baby in my belly. Only after giving birth to this baby can my status be improved."

"But the princess is not..."

Just when Xiao Tao was about to mention what Bai Wanrou said last night, she saw Yue Yi's cold eyes and immediately froze in place and stopped talking.

"Oh, she can only sit there for a few days as a princess. Let's see how she can jump after I knock her down."

At the same time, in another courtyard, Bai Wanrou sneezed unexpectedly.

"Miss, the temperature was really low last night and there was a cold wind. Otherwise, why don't you drink some ginger soup?"

Lu Zhu looked at Bai Wanrou, with uncontrollable worry in her eyes.

The latter just waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly, "I'm afraid someone is just saying bad things about me behind my back. You don't need to worry so much."

Lu Zhu was still worried, but she was also amused by these words.

"Okay, I have an appointment with Yin'er today. You can stay in the house and do some work while Qingtang and I go and come back."

Bai Wanrou turned around and saw that Qingtang had already prepared everything and was just waiting for the two of them to set off.

Seeing her turn around, Qingtang smiled slightly, quite a bit asking for credit.

"let's go."

Bai Wanrou walked in front and led the way with ease. She had already made an appointment with Song Yinhua to meet at the previous teahouse.

Now at this hour, I think she has already arrived.

"Xiaorou, here!"

Bai Wanrou walked into the teahouse. Before she could take a closer look at the people in the hall, she heard a crisp sound from the second floor.

She looked up and saw Song Yinhua almost falling down the stairs.

Bai Wanrou panicked and rushed over to hold her body.

"Yin'er, are you okay? Why are you so impatient? I won't run away."

She couldn't hold Song Yinhua alone, so she could only raise her hand to signal Qingtang behind her to come forward and help.

"Miss Song, let me help you go in and sit down."

Qingtang lifted Song Yinhua's body up from the other side, and then she realized that she had sprained her foot on the stairs.

"Ooooooo, Xiaorou, what should I do? This place won't be swollen by then, right?"

Bai Wanrou poured a cup of tea into her cup. She was a little funny when she heard this. She looked at the bruises on Song Yinhua's ankles and reached out to lift her legs and put them on her lap.

The right strength and temperature made Song Yinhua couldn't help but praise her, and she moaned softly:

"Xiaorou, your techniques are getting more and more authentic. Why don't you set up a stall on the street so that I can take advantage of your skills."

Bai Wanrou and her eyes looked at each other. She recalled the purpose of asking her out and paused in her movements.

"Yin'er, I called you out today because I have something serious to say."

Song Yinhua nodded, "Okay, you say it and I'll listen."

Bai Wanrou saw that the congestion there had almost dissipated, so she simply put her legs down, and then considered her words.

"That's the farmer we visited earlier, do you remember?"

Song Yinhua nodded, with a hint of unobvious joy on his face.

She had never dressed up in disguise before in her life, so it must have been a novel experience.

She smiled and joked: "What, are you planning to sneak in again?"

Bai Wanrou shook her head, feeling a little guilty when she thought that she had to ask her for help because she didn't know anything.

But she still looked at Song Yinhua firmly and said, "I want to give him to you."

Obviously, the amount of information in this sentence was quite huge, and the corners of Song Yinhua's raised lips froze in an instant.

She looked at Qingtang helplessly, her eyes seeming to say: What does your master mean by this?

However, Qingtang just looked away in silence and did not answer any questions.

So Song Yinhua could only look at Bai Wanrou again, and asked in a tone so soft that even she could not hear clearly:

"What do you mean? What do you mean by giving him to me?"

Bai Wanrou probably had already thought of her asking this question, so she interrupted her in the middle of her question:

"Yin'er, don't ask me so many questions first, just give him to your father."

"But remember, never tell your father that I gave you him."

She looked at Song Yinhua, her eyes already filled with mist.

"Okay, my father has indeed been worried about his affairs recently. I can agree to your request."

"But I still want to ask you, why did you suddenly make this request to me?"

Song Yinhua was probably really confused. After all, the two of them couldn't be called helping each other.

It seems that Song Yinhua took the initiative to ask for help in rare cases.

Bai Wanrou has never made any demands.

Therefore, she made this matter a request, which obviously exceeded Song Yinhua's expectations.

"Yin'er, this matter is a long story. I will explain it to you slowly when I find a suitable opportunity, okay?"

Bai Wanrou looked at Song Yinhua, and she was already very happy to get a positive answer.

She also knew that Song Yinhua agreed to her without knowing any preconditions and really trusted her.

But Bai Wanrou can't say anything now.

She has not yet determined whether her father did anything wrong.

If one more person knew about this matter, the possibility of the father being punished would increase.

Although she really wanted to know the truth, but... let's forget it now and wait until the time is right.

Song Yinhua nodded. She knew that Bai Wanrou had her own reasons for insisting on things, so she did not continue to inquire further.

Bai Wanrou raised her hand and asked Qingtang to go down and look for the farmer.

They had made arrangements with someone a day in advance to let him wait for Qingtang in a cloth shop in the market.

In order to prevent Song Yinhua from disobeying her, Bai Wanrou refused to tell the farmers in advance the purpose of their visit.

Thinking about it, if they hadn't tipped him off before, he wouldn't have let down his guard and come here to look for her.

At this time, the farmer followed Qingtang into the teahouse. The first moment he saw Song Yinhua, he looked confused. Then he scratched the back of his head and thought for a long time before suddenly asking:

"You, aren't you the little girl who came to me that day to express sympathy for the same problem?"
