Chapter 128 Doubt

Su Ruiran stared at the basket of lotus seeds, and she quickly discovered that the lotus seeds in the bamboo basket were not fresh, it seemed that they were picked and dried, so it was no wonder that they could be preserved until now.After the lotus seeds are dried, they are not as soft as freshly picked ones. Not only are they hard and difficult to peel, they are also very brittle and easy to crack.But looking at the situation, Princess De was obviously well prepared.

"The princess really loves my sister. I still remember that when I was hunting, my sister also offended the imperial concubine because of her words and deeds. But compared with being punished to copy scriptures under the sun at that time, isn't this peeling a basket of lotus seeds? It's such a trivial matter. My sister has to be grateful, but don't disappoint the concubine's painstaking efforts." Su Yanran couldn't help covering her lips with a smile, and said mockingly, "But speaking of it, my sister is rough and fleshy. Thick ones can withstand the sun that day, and these small details are naturally no problem."

Su Ruiran looked at her silently, the anger in her heart suddenly turned into indifference.

Su Yanran, after all, couldn't bear it anymore.Originally thought that she was obedient because she was afraid of her own power, but now it seems that it was just to let herself relax her vigilance first, and the purpose was to humiliate her in front of Concubine De at this moment?
"Princess, my young lady is already weak, so I'd better let my servants do this little thing." Finally at this moment, Yin He couldn't help but speak.Hearing that the second lady mentioned that day, the young lady copied the scriptures under the sun, she couldn't help but feel lingering fear.She would never let something like that happen again.

Ran Su Yanran raised her brows when she heard this, and said sharply: "What are you, do you have a place to speak here?" For a slave, she needn't be so polite.Her eyes fell on Su Ruiran again, seeing that Su Ruiran remained silent, she couldn't help but said coldly: "What's wrong, sister? Could it be that you want to disobey the princess' order even for such a trivial matter?"

"What did my sister say, the princess loves me so much, how dare I disobey it." A smile suddenly appeared on Su Ruiran's face, and she looked at her, "In the end, it's all my sister's fault. The younger sister suffered such an injury, and the older sister blamed herself for it."

She saw a slight change in Su Yanran's expression, she seemed to be guessing what she said, but the best part was yet to come.I have made you proud for so long just now, and now it is time to pay it back.Thinking of this, she couldn't help smiling coldly, still maintaining a faint smile on the surface, and then said to Su Yanran: "Speaking of which, my sister is hurt like this, I'm afraid not only the princess, but even the third master is very distressed."

When Su Yanran heard this, her expression changed immediately.From the corner of the eye, I caught a glimpse of Princess De's expression, and saw a trace of doubt flashing across Princess De's face.Su Yanran panicked all of a sudden, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface, and hurriedly said: "Sister, what are you talking nonsense, do you think you can avoid punishment by pretending to be crazy?"

Su Ruiran also replied: "My sister is what you are talking about. I can't understand my sister. The third master has always loved my younger sister very much. Isn't it reasonable for the third master to feel distressed when my sister is injured?" Her gaze Immediately turned to Concubine De, seeing Concubine De's brows gradually frowned, she knew that her words had worked, and continued: "Just like the concubine loves my sister, my sister has always cared about the third master, and she must not want to let the third master worried."

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Concubine De's expression became even uglier. She couldn't help but look sideways and looked at Su Yanran. Her tone was not as gentle as it was at the beginning, but it was a bit suspicious, and asked: "What did she say?" it is true?"

Su Yanran hastily explained: "Princess, don't listen to her nonsense, she framed me." Then she immediately put on a pitiful and wronged look, turned her head and cried to Su Ruiran and said: "Sister, my sister doesn't know where I offended my sister, but let my sister say such things to slander my innocence."

Unexpectedly, Su Ruiran bit back: "What did my sister say? My sister's words are slandering my innocence. Why did my sister slander you? My sister has always been on good terms with the third master. Isn't this a well-known thing in the prime minister's house?" After finishing speaking, she turned to Concubine De and said, "However, the concubine has lived in the palace for a long time, so it is reasonable to not know about our Xiangfu's affairs, but it is only necessary to inquire about it to know whether what the minister said is true or not. "

Concubine De was silent, but her face became more and more ugly.She always thought that Su Yanran liked Cheng'er, and Cheng'er also cared about her very much. In addition, Su Yanran and Su Ruiran were also enemies, and they also had a bit of Yan's relationship.My own influence on Su Ruiran was not good at all, and she actually rejected Cheng'er's marriage proposal in public, making Cheng'er feel ashamed, and later learned from Su Yanran that the reason why Yan's family was kicked out of the prime minister's house was because of Because of Su Ruiran's many schemes and insidious calculations.If that's the case, knowing that Su Yanran and her are of the same mind, and it's also to deal with Su Ruiran, how can she trust her so easily and help her.

But now it seems that if what Su Ruiran said is true, then Su Yanran and Nangong Mingxuan also colluded, then this matter is another matter.

"Princess, don't believe what she says." Su Yanran was crying, with a mournful expression on her face.

However, Concubine De didn't want to take another look at her, she just said coldly: "Let's stop here for today's matter, you have all greeted me, I am tired, you go back first."

Su Ruiran got up slowly, helped her body up and left in a very decent way, and said in her mouth: "Thank you, princess, my daughter-in-law will leave first."

Su Yanran became anxious when she saw it, as if she wanted to seize this last chance, she still said to Princess De unwillingly: "Princess De, you must believe me, I was really wronged."

Princess De turned her head and frowned slightly, but she didn't speak.She only made such a small move, and the servant beside her immediately understood, walked to Su Yanran's side and persuaded: "Second Miss, please go back, if Second Miss insists on doing this, it will only make Wangfei unhappy."

Su Yanran heard that, although she was not reconciled to let it go, she did not want to make the princess unhappy.After hesitating for a while, she finally stood up reluctantly with the help of her servants, bowed to the princess and said goodbye, staring at the princess and said, "Your servant will leave."

However, Concubine De still looked sideways and didn't even look at her, which made her little hope shattered in an instant.

She never expected that Su Ruiran would tell the concubine about herself and the third master in public. If not, how would she have fallen to this point.The only one who suffers today is her, Su Rui.The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more unwilling she felt, she clenched her fists secretly, and then her eyes fell on Su Ruiran.

Su Ruiran looked at her without hesitation, and felt that the other's gaze was as sharp as a blade, as if she was about to swallow her alive.However, the more so, the more indifferent the smile on her face.This is what she planned at the beginning, although she didn't expect that Su Yanran would want to use the hands of Princess De to deal with her again today, but no matter what she wants to do, it will be futile in front of her plan .

My purpose today is to disintegrate the relationship between her and Concubine De, so that Concubine De begins to doubt her intentions.

And the reason why she didn't point out this point immediately after seeing the princess was because she wanted to see what kind of tricks Su Yanran had.And the biggest blow to a person is to let her lose completely when she thinks she has the chance to win, which is why she has to wait until the last moment to speak out.At this moment, Su Yanran's expression just proved that her waiting was effective.

The defeat was decided, and she didn't want to take another look at her, so she turned around and wanted to leave.

Su Yanran had no choice but to follow her footsteps and leave.

However, when the two had just walked a few steps, they suddenly heard a voice from behind: "Wait."

When they heard Princess De's voice, both of them were slightly taken aback and turned their heads one after another.

A trace of expectation flashed in Su Yanran's eyes, hoping that the princess would let her stay, as long as the princess was willing to listen to her, then she would be able to explain this matter to her.Sure enough, Princess De's eyes fell on her.

Will things change suddenly?Su Ruiran was a little nervous, and Yin He beside her was also very nervous, watching the situation without blinking.

Su Yanran said to Princess De with a look of anticipation and eagerness: "If the princess has anything to do, just tell the servant, and the servant will definitely do her best for the princess?"

But soon, Princess De said to Su Yanran: "If there is nothing important in the future, you don't have to go in and out of the palace so frequently."

Although Concubine De didn't stop talking, the meaning of her words couldn't be clearer.

Su Yanran never expected that things would turn out like this. Since Concubine De said so, it is not as simple as just being suspicious of her. I am afraid that she has already believed Su Ruiran's words just now.

Su Yanran was stunned for a while, but Su Ruiran turned around again in silence, and left with Yin He.

As soon as the master and servant left the bedroom, a servant greeted them.Su Ruiran saw that it was the servant girl in the green skirt who led the way for her earlier, it turned out that the princess had specially ordered her to see her off.

Su Ruiran was also very polite to the servant when she heard the words, she said: "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness, but it's just that I can only trouble my aunt."

"Miss, you're being polite, this is also a servant's job." Seeing that the other party was still treating her so politely, the servant was naturally smiling and a little more courteous.

"I don't know what to call this aunt?"

"It's enough for the young lady to call the servant Ruyun, but the servant can't afford the young lady to call her aunt."

It's just that even though the other party said so, Su Ruiran still said: "So it's Aunt Ruyun. My aunt is older than me, and she serves beside the princess. Her status must be different from ordinary slaves. If I don't call you Auntie , on the contrary, it is disrespectful, and it is also disrespectful to the empress."

Ruyun couldn't help but smile when she heard her words. In fact, although she was serving the princess, she was just a servant after all. She had never received such courtesy, so she had a little more affection for Su Ruiran.

Seeing this, Su Ruiran took the opportunity to chat with her.Although Ruyun's age doesn't seem very old, and he is only in his early twenties, but Xu has been with the princess for a long time, and he speaks very maturely and tactfully.
