Red Mansion Beijingwang
Chapter 432 Li Wan: Stuck in the Quagmire
Inside the embroidered couch, Li Wan's hair was disheveled, her body was as soft as a silkworm, her pretty cheeks were flushed with two rosy blushes, her beautiful eyes were closed, and her lips were slightly pursed.
At this moment, the beauty has recovered. She remembered her own abnormality and knew that she was drugged. The table full of wine and food were all prepared by her herself, and there could be no mistakes. The chance of her being drugged was because of the wine brought by Zhen Hua. In other words, she was drugged by Zhen Hua.
I originally thought that Zhen Hua was someone worth making friends with, but I didn't expect her to be so black-hearted. I'm afraid that when I instigated her to host the party, it was already planned.
I never expected that just by hosting an event, I would be in trouble in the blink of an eye. If I had known this would happen, I would not have gone through so much trouble that I ended up tying myself up in knots.
Although she understood it, Li Wan didn't care about it at this moment, because the young man who had just been galloping was also responsible for her fate.
Who is the young man? He is a royal noble. What can she do?
How could she live in the world without the integrity of her chastity? Li Wan was disheartened at this moment, and she probably wanted to find a piece of white silk or jump into a well, which would be nothing more than death.
Having said that, what should she do with her Lang'er? Her death would be the end of everything, but Lang'er would be alone, especially with the indifference of the Duke's Mansion, plus the consequences of angering the prince. I think Lang'er would also be the target of anger. How could Lang'er survive?
Thinking of this, Li Wan felt heartbroken, and for a moment, she didn't know what to do.
Just at this moment, Zhen Hua walked in. Her surprised question startled Li Wan, who subconsciously shrank into a ball to maintain the little dignity she had left.
Shui Rong stared at the frightened beauty. His attempt to cover up his mistake was of no use. The large area of white was still clearly visible. Under the reflection of the orange candlelight, it looked as bright as jade, adding a sense of fragility, which stirred up the stove that the young man had temporarily extinguished.
A dignified and quiet person, once he lets go of his thoughts, is just like the Yellow River bursting its banks, unstoppable. The scene of them struggling to the death is really surprising, but also very satisfying.
After swallowing lightly, Shui Rong said, "Sister Zhu, we are one family, don't worry."
In Shui Rong's opinion, Li Wan's fright was simply because someone had seen what happened between them and she was embarrassed to face others. However, this was not a big deal at all.
After saying that, Shui Rong turned his eyes to look at the stunned Zhen Hua and said, "Hua'er, you're here."
If it were someone else, he would still be afraid, but Hua was his close friend, so he didn't have to worry at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have attacked Li Wan without any scruples when he knew that Zhen Hua was using the excuse of going to the toilet.
Who knows, if Zhen Hua gets interested, he might even take the initiative to join in.
I just didn't expect that Zhen Hua took so long to go to the toilet. I guess it was because his stomach was not feeling well!
"oneself"
Li Wan, who was curled up in a ball, felt her heart tremble when she heard the words. Her beautiful face turned a little cold. Her bright eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows glanced at the young man, with a hint of coldness between her eyebrows.
Just as she thought, the boy and Zhen Hua were in cahoots and conspired to harm her.
Seeing the young man being so indifferent, Zhen Hua couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. This man must be sure of herself, so he doesn't care. However, in fact, the beauty had nothing to say.
Well, who made her like this guy? Life would be meaningless without him. Otherwise, she wouldn't try every means to make the boy happy.
Pursing her lips, Zhen Hua looked at the two people lying in disarray on the embroidered couch, and put on a "heartbroken" look, sighing and saying, "Cousin, what's wrong with you? Hey, you've ruined Aunt Zhu's innocence."
Shui Rong didn't care when he heard this. This was Li Wan's own initiative and he was just going with the flow. As for the so-called innocence, it was not only Li Wan's innocence that he destroyed, but also Zhen Hua in front of him.
Li Wan was stunned, and her beautiful eyes looked at the young man and Zhen Hua. She was puzzled. These two people were not in the same group, so why were they questioning each other? Could it be that the prince did it alone?
No, the medicine could only have come from the wine brought by Zhen Hua. If Zhen Hua had not been involved, how could she have been tricked?
No matter what, at least Zhen Hua was right about one thing, that is, her innocence was gone. For a moment, Li Wan was overwhelmed with grief, and tears could not stop flowing. She buried her head in her eyes and sobbed softly.
Shui Rong looked at the crying Li Wan, his eyes moved slightly, thought for a moment, and comforted her softly: "Sister Zhu, it's okay, Hua'er won't tell anyone about our affairs, you can rest assured."
Li Wan's huddled body trembled upon hearing this, and she couldn't help but feel angry. What do you mean by what's going on between them? What's going on between them was just the young man's scheme, but now he seemed to be staying out of it, as if there was some adultery going on, and he was insulting her like this.
Thinking of this, Li Wan felt even more sad. She sobbed even louder and her curled-up body trembled continuously.
Too bully.
Shui Rong frowned and looked at Li Wan intently. His eyes moved slightly. He felt that there was something wrong with Li Wan's behavior, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it might be because of a momentary indulgence due to drunkenness, and the regret of being caught afterwards.
Zhen Hua's beautiful eyes twinkled. She took a step forward, stretched out her hand and pulled the young man, saying, "Cousin, wait outside for a while. I'll talk to Aunt Zhu and comfort her."
At this moment, Zhen Hua knew in her heart that she could not let her cousin have any conversation with Li Wan. Otherwise, what she planned would not stand up to scrutiny and would most likely be revealed.
Shui Rong stared at Zhen Hua's snow-white cheek, thought about it, and felt that it would be good for Zhen Hua, who was also a woman, to comfort her.
After all, Zhen Hua's usual style was that she was the one who cared about him wholeheartedly, so he stood up as Zhen Hua wished, dressed himself simply with Zhen Hua's help, and then walked out of the house.
Only after Shui Rong left did Zhen Hua breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had a place in her cousin's heart. If her cousin didn't listen to her, that would be difficult.
"You were the one who planned this, right?" Li Wan asked with a cold face.
From the previous conversation, she noticed something was amiss. Zhen Hua's actions clearly showed that she didn't want her to have any conversation with the prince, as if she was afraid of being exposed.
Now think about it carefully, considering the prince's usually humble character, how could he possibly do such a despicable thing? I'm afraid that even the prince himself was deceived at that time, so he had no choice but to do it?
But why did the prince call Zhen Hua his own? This made Li Wan puzzled.
Zhen Hua was not surprised to see that Li Wan had guessed it. After all, the widow in front of her was not a stupid person, and she had put a lot of effort into gaining her trust.
Pursing her pink lips, Zhen Hua moved to sit beside the embroidered couch, gazing at the beautiful woman's graceful white face, secretly praising her, wondering why her cousin was thinking about her, and then she said with a smile: "I planned it, and my cousin didn't know about it."
Now that things have come to this, there is no need for her to hide anything from Li Wan and she can just talk frankly. She has this pretty widow in her hands.
As for what she said about Shui Rong not knowing about this, that was also true. If she hadn't misled Shui Rong privately, Shui Rong wouldn't have made the wrong move. The most important thing was that she could be the villain alone, and there was no need to drag her cousin into it.
Only in this way could Li Wan, in her desperate situation, accept the olive branch offered by her cousin.
For the sake of her cousin, she put a lot of thought into it. She wanted her cousin to win her heart as well as his personality.
Upon hearing this, Li Wan's eyebrows raised, and her sparkling almond eyes were filled with intense anger, as if she wanted to burn the person in front of her to ashes. She scolded, "I treat you sincerely, why do you want to scheme against me and destroy my innocence? How can I live in shame?"
She didn't expect that Zhen Hua, her nephew's wife, would stab her in the back and cause her to lose her innocence.
Li Wan's face flushed with indignation, her heart was filled with sorrow, and she couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of her eyes.
Zhen Hua raised her eyebrows, stared at the beautiful woman with an angry face, sneered and said, "Go ahead and shout, the louder the better, it would be best if everyone in the palace knows about you and your cousin." Li Wan was startled when she heard that. Her beautiful face turned pale and she stared at Zhen Hua with her beautiful eyes wide open. There was mist in her almond-shaped eyes and big crystals rolled down the corners of her eyes.
She couldn't even imagine what would happen if everyone in the palace knew about it.
Zhen Hua saw the beauty's sorrow, her bright eyes gradually became hollow, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she said softly: "If you don't live, then Brother Lan will be pitiful."
She had good plans for Li Wan, but she didn't intend to let her die. Her existence was just to serve as a toy for her cousin, and Jia Lan was Li Wan's life. She knew that by using Jia Lan as an excuse, she would be able to control Li Wan.
If Zhen Hua had not known that Li Wan had this weakness, she would not have plotted against Li Wan so blatantly just to save trouble.
This Aunt Zhu is not like the cheap mother-in-law who would just lie down and do nothing. If she wants to conquer Li Wan, she will have to put in some effort to do so.
Li Wan's face paused, her heart trembling. Zhen Hua was right. If she died, what would happen to her own son, Lan Ge? After she woke up earlier, she was concerned about this, so she did not dare to question the young man.
Li Wan looked at Zhen Hua with a broken face, anger on her beautiful face, and gnashed her teeth and said, "What do you want?"
She finally realized that Zhen Hua definitely had some plan and that Jia Lan was controlling her.
Zhen Hua saw that although Li Wan was furious, she kept her voice down. She understood in her heart that this was already a semi-compromise, and all that was left was for her to deliver a fatal blow.
With a light laugh, Zhen Hua's charming face showed a smile, and she said softly: "It's nothing, actually. I just want you to serve your cousin with peace of mind."
"Serve?" Li Wan's heart trembled when she heard that. She never expected that Zhen Hua would ask her to serve the young man. What did this mean? Did he think she was a man's trick?
Zhen Hua nodded slightly, not caring about Li Wan's angry face, and said softly, "That's right, now that things have come to this, why not go with the flow and make cousin happy? Lang'er can also get cousin's protection and rise to prominence from now on."
Li Wan's heart paused when she heard this. Her bright almond eyes flickered slightly under her willow-shaped eyebrows. She didn't care about the others, but as Zhen Hua said, things had come to this point and she couldn't get away. If she could benefit from this,
No, then what would she become? Wouldn't this be a discredit to Lang Ge'er?
When Zhen Hua saw the slightly conflicted look on the beauty's face, she understood what was going on. Although Li Wan was a chaste and virtuous woman, even the strongest woman could be trained like a sheep if she had a weakness. Li Wan's biggest weakness was Jia Lan. For Jia Lan, Li Wan was willing to sacrifice her life, so what else could she not tolerate?
Thinking of this, Zhen Hua slowed down her tone and analyzed: "Aunt Zhu, with Lang'er's intelligence, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself in the future. If you alienate your cousin because of this, and make your cousin unhappy, which will affect Lang'er, wouldn't it be more harm than good? Besides, Lang'er likes your cousin very much, why do you have to worry about it? Do you want to make Lang'er and your cousin become enemies?"
Li Wan: “.”
How could Jia Lan, who had always been filial, let the humiliation of his mother be tolerated? However, even though Jia Lan was the grandson of the Duke's Mansion, facing the behemoth Beijing Prince's Mansion, he would be courting death.
Thinking of this, Li Wan's heart trembled, her beautiful face turned pale, and she secretly made up her mind that even if she was going to commit suicide, she would never let Lang Ge'er know about it.
At this moment, Li Wan understood that all the things were planned by Zhen Hua. Since Zhen Hua sent the prince out, it was obvious that she didn't want the prince to know. Her two curved eyebrows stood up, glaring at Zhen Hua, and said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that I will explain everything to the prince."
Zhen Hua did not take it seriously. Instead, she was quite satisfied with Li Wan's attitude, because she knew that since Li Wan threatened her in this way, it meant that Li Wan had no way out and was just fighting like a trapped beast.
With a light laugh, Zhen Hua said nonchalantly, "I don't want my cousin to know about this, but I'm not afraid that you will reveal the truth. To tell you the truth, I have been yours for a long time, and Miao'er is your biological daughter. Even if my cousin knows about this, based on our relationship, if I humble myself and admit my mistakes, he won't be willing to blame me."
There was no need to hide these secret matters from Li Wan any longer. She just wanted to make everything clear and let Li Wan understand that her position in her cousin's heart could not be shaken by her stubbornness.
Besides, her actions were not for her cousin. Her cousin would scold her, but he would never dislike her for it. As long as she did not touch her cousin's bottom line, it would be fine.
Upon hearing this, Li Wan's beautiful eyes widened, her pretty eyebrows were filled with surprise, and her heart was trembling.
What did she just hear? Zhen Hua had long been the prince's person, and even Miao'er was the prince's daughter. How was this possible? What was going on with Rong'er?
The beauty was so shocked that she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. For a moment, it seemed as if her own ideas were shattered.
After a while, Li Wan came to her senses. She realized that there was no need for Zhen Hua to lie to her. She also understood what the prince meant when he said that Zhen Hua was one of theirs. Now that she had even given birth to a daughter, it was more than just being one of theirs.
Just as Zhen Hua said, even if she told the prince everything, what would happen? Most importantly, her innocence had been lost, and anything she did would be in vain.
Zhen Hua quietly looked at Li Wan's changing face, but was not in a hurry to speak. She waited for her to digest the facts. After a long while, she smiled and said, "Aunt Zhu, what do you think?"
Li Wan's heart trembled, and she raised her delicate head to look at Zhen Hua. Her almond-shaped eyes flickered under her willow-leaf eyebrows, and her fingertips clasped on the snow-white arm turned white, as if they were sinking into it.
What is this for her to consider? To be the prince's plaything, a slut who can be slept with by anyone?
Seeing this, Zhen Hua's eyelashes shrank slightly. She glanced at the marks on the mattress, her face slightly heated up, and she secretly spit in her heart. She reached out and gently stroked the beautiful woman's snow-white face, and persuaded her: "Aunt Zhu, you are a widow at a young age and have suffered for so many years. You know the sadness in your heart. Now that you and your cousin are husband and wife, why don't you take this opportunity to enjoy the fun of being a girl? Isn't it wonderful? Could it be that Aunt Zhu was unhappy just now?"
When Li Wan heard this, her heart trembled violently. Her bright eyes followed Zhen Hua's gaze and saw that the mattress was soaked. Her beautiful face was flushed red like fire. She felt extremely ashamed.
Although she felt regretful, the previous entanglement made her feel like she was in the clouds. She felt such a satisfying feeling that she had never felt before. It was as if all the resentment accumulated in her heart was vented in an instant, and she felt extremely relaxed.
To be honest, Li Wan was indeed happy.
Having said that, how could she say such a shameful thing? Facing Zhen Hua's teasing, Li Wan turned her head away, bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth, and said nothing.
Zhen Hua narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, pinched the beauty's jaw and forcefully pulled it back, staring at Li Wan's beautiful face, raised her eyebrows and said, "Aunt Zhu, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. Even if you don't consider yourself, why don't you consider Brother Lang?"
Faced with Zhen Hua's dominance, Li Wan originally wanted to resist, but when she heard Zhen Hua talking about Jia Lan, her accumulated anger suddenly dissipated. Under her willow-leaf eyebrows, her bright eyes flickered, as if to express her last stubbornness.
Zhen Hua frowned when she saw this. Her cousin was still waiting outside and she didn't have much time left. She was not in the mood to get into a stalemate with Li Wan.
Thinking of this, Zhen Hua's beautiful eyes flickered, she loosened her grip on the beauty's jaw and applied a little force, saying in a cold voice: "Okay, I admire Aunt Zhu's integrity very much, but I don't know how Brother Lang feels when he knows that he has such a shameless mother."
Li Wan's heart was shaken, her beautiful face turned pale, her graceful eyes were filled with fear, and she said hurriedly, "Don't, don't tell Lan Ge'er."
She dared not even think about it if Lang'er knew about this. What worried her even more was that if Lang'er became estranged from the prince because of this, not to mention his future, she might even lose her life.
Thinking of this, Li Wan was terrified. She said without caring about etiquette, "I will listen to you. I will listen to you in everything, as long as you don't cause trouble for Lang'er."
Zhen Hua raised her lips, her eyes filled with pride, patted Li Wan's snowy face, and said with a smile: "That's right, be obedient, and Brother Lang will have his own world."
As she spoke, Zhen Hua stood up from the embroidery couch, straightened her collar, and said calmly, "Pull yourself together. I'll go and ask my cousin to come in. Don't let him notice anything. If anything goes wrong, hmph, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."
Li Wan's delicate body collapsed on the embroidered couch, not caring about revealing her beauty. Her bright eyes stared at Zhen Hua's departing back, their eyes dim and her heart extremely sad.
She knew that she had already fallen into a quagmire in her life and was afraid that it would be difficult to extricate herself. (End of this chapter)
