Chapter 571 People from the Ruan Family Arrive
Today, Chu Yichuan was reprimanded by his father, the Emperor, in the palace, and later by his mother, who said he was terribly wrong and extremely foolish for giving himself such leverage over a concubine.
The reason he let Qinglan do that yesterday was because it was just a wedding banquet, nothing serious.
However, he never imagined the incident would escalate to such a huge extent.
Now, after being severely reprimanded by his mother, he returned to find out that Jiang Qinglan had never been sincere towards him from the beginning. She had only turned back to him because she had failed to marry his third brother.
It's a joke that he still spoils her so much!
"So, what exactly is going on?"
Chu Yichuan's eyes were as dark as night. Today, he would patiently listen to what Jiang Qinglan had to say!
"Your Highness, my sister is only saying that because she's jealous of your affection for me. I truly love you!"
In her anxiety, Jiang Qinglan shifted all the blame onto Jiang Luxue, saying, "Your Highness, you must believe me!"
When Jiang Luxue saw this, she found it laughable that Jiang Qinglan still wanted to use herself as a scapegoat.
However, before she could speak, Chu Yichuan asked with a stern face, "You insulted Princess Chu in the street before, and were slapped in the face. Was it because you still harbored lustful thoughts towards Prince Chu?"
He had only found it strange when he first heard about this. Qinglan and Song Ruozhen had no connection, so why would anyone say something bad about her?
Now that everything is connected, it all makes sense!
Because she was jealous that Song Ruozhen married her third brother, she spoke ill of her behind her back and was caught red-handed!
Jiang Qinglan's expression changed drastically. She hadn't expected Chu Yichuan to have guessed this, and her heart suddenly jumped into her throat.
"Your Highness, no..."
Chu Yichuan chuckled, his eyes turning cold. "No need to say anything more. I finally understand why you've targeted Song Ruozhen time and time again!"
"I have been impeached by many ministers and punished by my father because of a woman like you!"
"Snapped!"
Chu Yichuan slapped him across the face!
Jiang Qinglan's already swollen face was now even worse, with blood seeping out.
She collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face, clutching Chu Yichuan's trouser leg with both hands, pleading desperately, "Your Highness, you have truly misunderstood me. You are the only one in my heart!"
However, Chu Yichuan felt no pity for her at this moment, thinking back to how he had defended Jiang Qinglan in front of everyone yesterday, and how his third brother's expression had been rather strange at the time.
At the time, he didn't take it to heart, thinking that his third brother couldn't bear to see Song Ruozhen being wronged. Now, looking back, he can hardly imagine what he looked like in their eyes.
"Jiang Qinglan, I'm divorcing you right now!"
……
Song Ruozhen was eating fruit at the Song residence when she saw Ruan Niantang come looking for her second brother. She then sat down with her sister-in-law to eat melon.
Luo Qingyin watched as Song Yi'an rushed out after hearing the announcement, and couldn't help but smile. Seeing that Song Ruozhen also looked very interested, she immediately understood.
"Fifth Sister, do you think Second Brother is also getting married soon?"
Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows. "I wonder how things are going with Brother Niantang. If things are going well, then Second Brother's marriage should be on the agenda."
I saw through Ruan Lingfeng's scheme a while ago. Although I was quite shocked at the time, some time has passed, and I suppose the matter should be resolved by now.
When she saw the style of the eldest son of the Ruan family that day, she knew that he was not a person who dragged things out. Moreover, she had heard that Grand Tutor Ruan was even more swift and decisive in his actions.
It's unlikely that someone would keep a troublemaker like Ruan Yuanwu in their home out of consideration for family ties.
Just then, Ruan Niantang walked in, accompanied by Ruan Lingfeng.
"Ruozhen, it's my second brother who came to thank you today."
When Song Ruozhen saw Ruan Lingfeng, she knew he had come to see her, and immediately got up and went over to him.
"Princess Consort of Chu, I am truly grateful to you for what happened last time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be dead by now."
Ruan Lingfeng bowed deeply, his eyes filled with gratitude, and handed over the gift he had prepared beforehand.
"This is a token of my gratitude. Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life!"
“Young Master Ruan, there’s no need to be so polite. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Besides, given the relationship between our two families, there’s no need to keep it to yourself. It’s all just what we should do.”
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, her gaze sweeping over Ruan Niantang and her second brother, her meaning all too clear.
Ruan Niantang's cheeks flushed slightly as she glanced shyly at Song Yi'an. She had fallen in love with the second young master Song at first sight, and now her feelings were no longer concealed; almost everyone knew it.
She had no chance when she saw the second young master of the Song family get engaged, and could only feel regret. But now that the opportunity has come again, she naturally doesn't want to let it go.
However, she was unaware of the Second Young Master Song's feelings.
"One thing at a time, but I must thank you for saving my life."
Ruan Lingfeng has a slightly dark complexion, but with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, he has a very masculine demeanor. Compared to his sickly appearance before, he looks much better now.
“I should have visited to express my gratitude much earlier, but because I was not feeling well and my family was worried about me, I stayed at home to rest for a while longer.”
“If Young Master Ruan doesn’t mind, let me take your pulse,” Song Ruozhen said.
Ruan Lingfeng shook his head repeatedly, "Of course not, it's just that we'll have to trouble the Princess."
Since the last incident, his respect for the Princess of Chu has reached its peak.
Only by experiencing it firsthand can one know how powerful this method is, especially since after following the prescription, the body has gradually recovered, as if it has been brought back to life.
After taking her pulse, Song Ruozhen had a good idea of what was going on and said with a light smile, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious."
"I wonder if your elder brother's savior, Miss Huang, has been found yet?"
Song Yi'an did not forget Huang Qianqian. Ruan Lingfeng did not marry the real Huang Qianqian, but her older sister.
Now that the truth has come out, Huang Qianqian is still being blackmailed. The Ruan family should have already sent someone to resolve the issue, but it's unclear what Huang Qianqian's attitude towards Ruan Lingfeng will be now.
"found it."
Ruan Niantang nodded, but when she thought of Huang Qianqian, she couldn't help but show a look of regret.
She personally accompanied her second brother to find Miss Huang. After seeing Miss Huang in person, she understood why her second brother liked her; she was indeed a gentle and kind girl.
Despite having the same face, Huang Qianqian gives off a completely different vibe; she is gentle, generous, kind, and humble.
Knowing that the suffering she had endured over the past two years was all because of her second brother, she did not resent her eldest brother. On the contrary, she could understand the hardships her second brother had faced.
However... Miss Huang no longer wanted to be with her second brother.
