âLaoye, you mean ⊠all of this ⊠is all because of the eldest miss?â
After she finished speaking, she suddenly covered her mouth with her hand.
She looked uneasily, âNo way, right, the eldest miss is always so obedient. Before, I was biased, but in the future, Iâll definitely treat her better. Also, the third miss likes the eldest miss a lot. We could let the third miss and the eldest miss get together more often, to increase their closeness together.â
He seemed to have thought of something and asked, âI heard that Yunâerâs foot was hurt last time at the flower viewing festival. What happened then?â
âThat, ah.â
Ruan Zhen suddenly lowered her head, hesitant.
Lou Qufeng saw this and suddenly felt this confirmed there was more to the story.
âExactly what happened? Speak, with me here, I definitely will help her.â
âThis âŠâ Ruan Zhen gripped her handkerchief, as if she was scared of someone.
âLaoye, I originally didnât want to say but I heard the third miss cry over it so I donât know whether it's true or not. I just heard that the eldest miss played a part in the third miss getting her foot injured.â
âEn? How did that happen?â
âI heard that the third miss was young and it was her first time entering the court, so of course, she was curious about everything and a bit nosy. She asked so much that the eldest miss got annoyed, then her maidservant sneered at her until the third miss didnât dare to say anything more. But who knew, that maidservant for some reason, just didnât like the third miss and when the third miss wasnât paying attention, viciously stepped on her foot.
So during the flower viewing festival, when she was dancing, she fell into the water. She didnât get a prize which meant that minister of warâs daughter got it. I saw the third missâ dancing skills beforehand and if it was on an ordinary day, I think the third miss definitely wouldâve gotten that prize âŠâ
âWhat? This happened as well?â Lou Qufeng was so angry that his beard was twitching.
Heâd heard about this vaguel.
The minister of warâs daughter displayed exceptional talent at the hibiscus flower viewing event so the empress grew a favourable impression of her.
The empress then asked the emperor for an edict, and not long later, became the second princesâ consort.
And today, when they were discussing the position of the crown prince, the originally never-present Su Gelao and old general were there too.
They all voiced their favour of the second prince, even the normally calm imperial prince Zong liked the second prince.
Even though the emperor didnât decide in the end, but following that event, the second prince most likely going to become the crown prince.
If the second prince became the crown prince, then the future emperor would be him and wouldnât the future empress be the second princeâs consort?
Lou Qufeng pressed down on his heart, if the person who gained the prize that day was Yunâer âŠ.
Then ⊠wouldnât he be the future emperorâs father in law?
Lou Qufeng suddenly felt a huge amount of frustration and regret well up in his heart, so much that it began to hurt.
âWho was that maidservant? To dare to bully her master?!â
Ruan Zhen looked at him pitifully with big eyes, âLaoye, the third miss had no other way. The eldest miss was so protective of her maidservant. How could the third miss dare to speak back? So she could only suffer in silence. She didnât dare to say anything when she came back either, scared that laoye would feel as if he lost face because she didnât get the prize. Ah, even though the third miss is a bit young, but sheâs already so mature, but that maidservant âŠ. After all, sheâs not from this residence, so of course sheâs not the same.â
âWhere did that maidservant come from?â
âThat, I donât know. I just know that the eldest miss brought her back by herself, so her historyâs unknown. But according to me, this canât be blamed on the eldest miss, itâs definitely that maidservant who acted without orders. That eldest miss is too virtuous, to dote on her servants. But that maidservant is too poisonous, so she definitely hid it from the eldest miss!â

TL note:
Ruan Zhen is like x100000 worse than LLX. This is where LLX gets all of her trashy qualities from, but sheâs not as smart as Ruan Zhen.
Leave a comment and because Yunâer as the Xiahou Ruiâs wife? Sheâs dreaming >:(
