Chapter 516 Villain
When Song Ruize left, Qin Huiyin was worried that Li Taohua would find out that they had slept in the same bed last night.
It was not until Zhilan came back and reported that Song Ruize had left quietly without disturbing anyone that she felt relieved and lay on the bed sighing.
“It’s not easy to fall in love.”
Zhilan and Sujin looked at each other and smiled.
"Although Madam didn't agree to your marriage right away, she didn't break you up either. She just loves you too much and doesn't want to hand you over like this. I believe that as time goes by, Madam will see Master Song's sincerity and will naturally understand that the love between you is unbreakable."
"From the perspective of brother and sister, Mr. Song is indeed very kind to Miss. But your relationship is different now, so it's normal for Madam to have other concerns."
"Of course my mother is the best, the best in the world. If it weren't for my mother, I would have died on the road fleeing famine and wouldn't have the life I have now."
Li Taohua was about to push the door open, but when she heard Qin Huiyin's clear and sweet voice, she stopped and the anger on her face disappeared.
"My mother has suffered so much, for most of her life, and only in the past two years has she started to live a good life. All I can do is take good care of myself and not let her worry. Marriage is no joke, and many women regret it for the rest of their lives after taking a wrong step. My mother doesn't want me to take the wrong path and end up hurting both physically and mentally. In fact, she worries too much. I'm her daughter, and I'm not a love-brained person who only knows how to listen to men. I will naturally love the man who treats me well. I will make the man who treats me not suffer a fate worse than death."
"Miss, are you willing to let Mr. Song live a life worse than death?"
"He's been good to me, so of course I can't bear to let him go. If he's also a scumbag, just wait and see how I deal with him. I'll let him know that force isn't the only way to deal with a man."
Li Taohua turned and left.
Ru Niang followed and said, "Madam, are you relieved now? Although the young lady is sentimental, she is not a foolish person."
"I just know she's loyal and righteous, and I'm worried she might make a mistake. If it's really like she said, that would be great. Since ancient times, infatuated lovers always meet heartless people, and I'm afraid she'll get hurt." Li Taohua murmured as she watched the slowly rising sun, "But, she's that man's child, so she must be blessed and will definitely not meet an unfaithful person."
At noon, Qin Huiyin was taking care of business in the Food City when she saw Xia Ruwan striding in.
"Why are you free to come here today?"
Qin Huiyin smiled at Xia Ruwan, but when she saw the expression on her face, she stopped smiling, stood up and walked towards her.
"what happened?"
Xia Ruwan forced a smile and said, "I'm getting married."
"Is Master Li back?" Qin Huiyin pulled her to sit down. "Since you're getting married, why don't you look happy at all? Could it be that the Li family is making things difficult for you again?"
"It's not him." Xia Ruwan said, "The person I want to marry is not him."
"Who is that?" Qin Huiyin frowned.
"The current Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace." Xia Ruwan smiled and said with feigned happiness, "I am just a merchant girl, but I entered the Eastern Palace and became a concubine. Isn't that amazing?"
"When did you become involved with the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace?" Qin Huiyin frowned.
"Ever since I became involved in business with the King of Wei, I've come into contact with him from time to time regarding business and financial matters. The Crown Prince often visited the King of Wei's mansion, and that's how we met."
"So what if they met? You and Master Li are in love with each other. It's impossible that just because you met the Crown Prince, you want to enter the Eastern Palace and become one of the three thousand beauties, right?"
No. Xia Ruwan's face didn't show any joy at all, and she was even on the verge of tears. She didn't do this voluntarily. What she had just said was really hurtful to her.
"I'm sorry, Wan'er, I shouldn't have said that." Qin Huiyin hugged Xia Ruwan, "Tell me what's wrong first, what happened."
Xia Ruwan forced a bitter smile. "It's actually my own fault. If I'd shown up less often at Prince Wei's mansion and stopped showing off, I wouldn't have caught the Crown Prince's attention. He wouldn't have thought I was a good toy and wanted to keep me in his possession."
Shu Hui said, "The first time the young lady entered the Prince of Wei's mansion, a servant mistook her for a dancer performing that day and began to molest her. The young lady stabbed the servant in the eye with a hairpin, making a big fuss and demanding an explanation from the Prince of Wei. It was a perfectly normal retaliation, but the Crown Prince took notice."
Qin Huiyin frowned.
Xia Ruwan was not wrong.
If it was her, she would have made things worse.
The prince fell in love with her because, firstly, Xia Ruwan was beautiful, secondly, she was more lively than those lifeless ladies from aristocratic families, and thirdly, she had the ability to make money.
Those in power wouldn't make an impulsive decision based on a fleeting whim. The Crown Prince was a man of his stature, and the position of Crown Princess remained vacant, waiting to be sold. Therefore, a place in his harem wasn't open to just anyone. The Crown Prince's concubine wasn't just any concubine; she was destined to become a consort.
"The prince hasn't officially proposed yet. You should quickly find Master Li and arrange the marriage." Qin Huiyin said.
"Why would a concubine need a betrothal? All she needs is a sedan chair to bring me to the mansion. If he wants, he can carry me in tomorrow."
"The Crown Prince hasn't married yet. If he takes a merchant girl as a concubine before his wife is married, the ministers he originally wanted to win over will probably not be happy."
"what do you mean……"
"I've heard before that Cui Lingyao from the Prime Minister's Mansion is the perfect choice for the Crown Princess. If this gets to her ears, she'll be the one worried, not us. She hasn't even married into the Eastern Palace yet, and the Crown Prince has already chosen a concubine. If she becomes favored and gives birth to a son, that would be bad for her. If we get this news to her, she'll definitely pester the Crown Prince, and he'll have no time to bother with you. You can use this opportunity to call Young Master Li back to get married, and the matter will be settled."
"But..." Xia Ruwan hesitated.
"You should go far away and don't stay in the capital. Is this not enough?" Qin Huiyin said, "Or do you really want to enter the palace and become the prince's concubine?"
"No." Xia Ruwan shook her head, "I don't want to be the prince's woman."
"When will Master Li come back?" Qin Huiyin asked, "How about this, don't wait for him to come back, just go find him directly!"
"Yinyin, it's great to have you." Xia Ruwan hugged Qin Huiyin's arm. "I've been so worried these past few days that I couldn't eat or sleep. I thought I was really going to marry a disgusting man. Now you've found another way for me. That's great."
"This matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later." Qin Huiyin said, "Go back and pack your things and leave Beijing as soon as possible."
"I can't bear to leave you." Xia Ruwan hugged her tightly.
"Alright, then stay and become the prince's concubine!"
Xia Ruwan stood up and said to Qin Huiyin: "When the dog prince no longer misses me, I will come back to accompany you. I'm leaving now."
