Chapter 959 [Ashes of Love: Red Mansion Tribulation 29]
Sanchun stood up in a hurry and walked towards where Runyu was. They looked flattering, as if they wanted to please the noble prince in front of them. However, when Runyu saw Sanchun coming towards him, he took several steps back without hesitation, as if he had seen something terrible, with obvious disgust on his face.
At the same time, he shouted sternly: "All of you stay away from me! Don't come near!" His voice was cold and resolute, which made people feel chilled.
At this time, Jia's mother hurriedly said, "My lord, look at this girl, she is very well-behaved and smart. If you like her, you might as well accept her as your wife. She can also serve you together with Daiyu." After saying that, Jia's mother looked at Runyu expectantly, hoping to get a positive answer.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Runyu's face became even gloomier. He looked at Grandmother Jia coldly and responded stiffly: "Old Madam Jia, I call you Madam because of Yu'er's face. I never thought that you, as Yu'er's grandmother, could do such a shameless thing! How to arrange the backyard of this prince should be decided by this prince himself, how can I let others interfere? If the old lady came here only for this matter today, then this prince will say goodbye." Before he finished speaking, Runyu turned around and left, completely ignoring the expressions of surprise, anger, or embarrassment on the faces of the people present.
Just like that, Runyu left the Rongguo Mansion without looking back. Only Jia Mu was left shaking with anger, pointing at the direction where Runyu left and cursing: "What an uneducated boy! I am his grandmother after all, how dare you treat your elder like this! Humph, when I see the emperor, I will definitely report him and let the emperor vent my anger for me!"
Seeing this, Jia Zheng secretly complained in his heart. He knew that it was his mother who had done the wrong thing from the beginning to the end. The fact that the prince of Rongguo had condescended to come to the mansion of the Duke of Rongguo was already a great honor. Now that his mother was making trouble like this and angered the prince, it might be bad for the Jia family in the future...
Jia Zheng said to his mother with a serious face, "Mother! He is a prince, and will become a noble prince in the future. Moreover, he is the nephew of the current emperor. What a distinguished status! Our Rongguo Mansion is not as prosperous as it used to be. The prestige of the past is no longer there! Mother, you have really offended the prince thoroughly this time! Over at the Lin Mansion, I have also been offended by you. Although I have not yet openly torn my face with us, the situation is not much different. You have stabbed me in the heart again and again. How can I not be angry?"
After hearing this, Jia's mother showed displeasure and retorted: "Humph! But... I am not doing this for the sake of our family! Besides, Min'er is my biological daughter. Is it wrong for me to ask her to help with some things at home? Even if she gets married, the Rongguo Mansion will always be her natal home. What will happen if she leaves her natal home?"
Seeing how stubborn Jia's mother was, Jia Zheng shook his head helplessly, turned to look at Mrs. Wang beside him, and said, "Madam, please try to persuade mother. I have many matters to deal with in the front yard, and I really don't have time to delay here. I'll go first." After that, Jia Zheng left in a hurry.
Mrs. Wang had no choice but to step forward and persuade Lady Jia: "Mother, you really shouldn't have spoken to the prince like that just now. You should have been a little more tactful. After all, he is a prince of high status. If we speak to him so directly, anyone would probably feel unhappy."
Grandmother Jia said with a worried look on her face, "But I am also in a state of panic! Second daughter-in-law, please tell me what we should do in this situation? Will Prince Beijing run directly to the emperor in anger and severely report our Rongguo Mansion? If so, we will be in great trouble!"
Mrs. Wang on the side hurriedly comforted her, "Mother, don't worry too much. According to my daughter-in-law's opinion, it shouldn't be that serious. After all, the prince and our family still have some friendship. Even if he doesn't care about other people's feelings, he has to consider Daiyu's existence, right? With Daiyu in the middle, the prince will not easily confront our Rongguo Mansion head-on. But after this incident, we really need to be more careful in the future. We must never talk to the prince as rashly as we did today. As for other matters, we still need to take a long-term view and work slowly."
After hearing this, Jia's mother's expression eased a little, but she still complained with some dissatisfaction: "Alas! You are such a useless bunch! I have set up a ladder for you, but you don't know how to climb up; you see wealth and glory right in front of you, but you don't know how to bravely move forward to fight for it. You are all so useless!"
Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun, who were standing on the side, had to lower their heads and timidly responded in unison, "I'm sorry, grandma. It's all our fault. We've made you worry."
At this time, Madam Wang quickly spoke to help them out: "Forget it, mother, calm down. I think what happened today really scared them. Let them go back to their rooms and rest first."
Grandmother Jia waved her hand and said impatiently, "All right, all right, hurry up and go down!"
After getting permission, Sanchun felt as if she had been pardoned. She quickly replied, "Yes." Then she left in a hurry.
Runyu walked out of the Rongguo Mansion with a gloomy face, his heart was full of resentment and dissatisfaction. He hurriedly went straight to the Lin Mansion without stopping.
After entering the gate of the Lin Mansion and seeing the girl he had been thinking about, Runyu could not wait to tell her everything that happened in the Rongguo Mansion. Especially when he mentioned Jia's mother, he exaggerated and described her various unpleasant behaviors vividly.
After hearing this, Youyou's face turned pale instantly, her beautiful eyes widened, and she murmured to herself in disbelief: "I never thought that my grandmother would have such a plan! Is she too naive, or does she have ulterior motives?"
After Runyu finished speaking, his eyes were slightly red, and his face was full of grievance. He held Youyou's hand tightly and said softly: "Yu'er, I am in a very bad mood at the moment. Am I such a casual person in their eyes, who can be manipulated and taken in by others? In my life, I will only have you as my wife. In this life, I only wish to accompany you, hold your hand, and grow old with you. Other women, even if I just take a look at them, are redundant to me."
Youyou felt distressed when she heard this, and hurriedly comforted me, "You don't have to worry too much about what you do in the future, just do what you want. As for the Rongguo Mansion, don't care about my thoughts. Just deal with it as you should, they have no right to interfere in our lives. After all, my last name is Lin, not Jia, and the Rongguo Mansion can't tell me what to do."
"Okay, I'll follow Yu'er's instructions." Runyu nodded in response, his eyes as gentle as water.
Afterwards, the two of them leaned against each other, talking sweetly to each other, immersed in a sweet atmosphere. After a long while, Runyu reluctantly said goodbye and left.
