Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 971 - 969_1

Chapter 971: Chapter 969_1

Fang Wan’er and Mrs. Fang’s faces changed at the sound of Mrs. Tan’s address.

They had just clarified that they were now Mrs. Ruan and Miss Ruan!

But Mrs. Liu still referred to them as Mrs. Fang and Miss Fang. It must be because Princess Rui had badmouthed them in her presence!

Why must she ruin the marriage prospect she had finally set her eyes on? Fang Wanping couldn’t help but resent Xiao’er!

She couldn’t help looking at Xiao’er angrily: if a rustic like her could catch Prince Rui, there was no way she hadn’t used some tricks!

She was a vixen to begin with, now how dare she repeatedly ruin her marriage prospects!

Seeing the look in her daughter’s eyes, Mrs. Fang quickly blocked her view and gave her a warning look, subtly shaking her head.

Fang Wanping lowered her head, suppressing the hatred in her eyes: this time her marriage prospects absolutely could not be ruined by Princess Rui again. She wanted Liu Zhiwen to come to her, to be unwilling to let her go!

Then, she wanted to see how these self-righteous people would separate her from him!

Xiao’er naturally didn’t miss Fang Wanping’s gaze. Was this blaming her for standing in her way?

Hmph! She had her own pursuits, as did she; as long as they didn’t affect the people she cared about, she wouldn’t meddle. But, she had her eyes on all the good catches, all of her own relatives!

How could such a person with impure motives be allowed to marry into the family! They were nothing but the root cause of household unrest! It should be understood that each family’s happiness was not a given; it needed to be maintained and managed!

"Wanping, your wound has been dressed, we should leave now, or your father will worry."

Mrs. Fang was also extremely angry, but she knew that tolerating small things led to the success of great plans. After the last incident, she had clearly realized that a single word from others could destroy them.

They can’t keep shaking the tall tree like ants. Moreover, having finally become Mrs. Ruan, she really can’t lose this in-law family anymore.

She had heard of the Liu family before. It was the maternal home of the Marquis Shengping’s wife. Although there was no one in the family currently holding office, the Liu family was rich! The Liu family owned a nationally renowned winery and furniture shop! Every day, silver poured in like flooding river water!

With so much silver, would they have to worry about not having good days in the future?

Although they were merchants, they were not ordinary merchants; they were the maternal family of the Marquis Shengping’s wife. Both sons of the Liu family were scholars. There is Prince Rui, and there will definitely be no lack of official positions in the future.

Today, mother and daughter had just finished replenishing the lamp oil money in the suburbs. On the way back to the mansion, she saw a carriage from the Marquis Shengping’s mansion, then saw another carriage with a sign bearing a "Liu" character. She surmised that because the Magistrate was about to get married, the Liu family came to the Imperial Capital for the wedding.

Initially, she had not given it much thought. After all, following the last incident, she really didn’t want to have a relationship with the people of the Marquis Shengping’s mansion. But she didn’t know whether it was God’s will. They happened to come across this opportunity. When the opportunity was in front of her, one who didn’t seize was a fool, and her daughter was evidently no fool, having rushed forward without her prompting.

She successfully won the favor of the eldest son of the Liu family.

She judged men accurately. She was certain that the eldest son of the Liu family had a good impression of her daughter. So now, they didn’t need to do much, just take a step back, and it seemed Mrs. Fang already had a plan.

Leave like this? Fang Wanping looked at Mrs. Fang in surprise when she heard this.

Mrs. Fang winked at her.

Fang Wanping instinctively nodded her head: "Okay."

Mrs. Fang helped her down from the bed. Fang Wanping saluted Liu Zhiwen, then took out a silver bag and handed it to him: "Thank you for getting a doctor for me. This is the consultation fee. We will take our leave now as it’s getting late and we’ve disturbed you for so long."

Seeing this, Xiao’er raised her eyebrows. She had learned to be smart.

Liu Zhiwen did not reach out his hand. Seeing them wanting to leave without changing their soaked clothes, he said, "There’s no need for a consultation fee. You were the one who got injured for saving me. How could I ask you to pay the consultation fee? Let me arrange someone to get two sets of clothes for Mrs. and Miss. I’ll also arrange for someone to send you home."

After Liu Zhiwen finished speaking, he looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "Aunt, could you arrange for someone to get two sets of clothes for them to change?"

Since Zhiwen already said that, Mrs. Liu couldn’t lose her nephew’s face in public. She was about to nod her head when Xiao’er stopped her, "Cousin, I know you have a good intention. But doing this would eventually do more harm than good and even hurt Mrs. and Miss Fang."

Zhiwen was puzzled by her words, but he knew that Xiao’er wouldn’t say things without reason. So he asked, "Why?"

"Mrs. and Miss Fang went out by themselves. They wore these clothes in the morning, but when they return, they wear someone else’s clothes. What will people think if they see this? They will definitely have various speculations. It will definitely ruin their reputation.

It wasn’t easy for Mrs. Fang to reunite with Master Ruan, we can’t let Master Ruan have any misgivings about Mrs. Fang, can we?"

Women always carry a change of clothes when they go out, Xiao’er didn’t believe that these two hadn’t brought any. If they wanted to change, they could ask the maid to bring the clothes for them to change into.

Even if they didn’t say it, the maid should have changed their clothes for them on her own initiative.

But the maid did nothing, and neither of the two mentioned it. They continued to wear their soaking wet clothes, wasn’t this to make themselves appear more pitiful?

Since it’s like this, why should Xiao’er prepare clothes for them? Just let them go back home in their soaking wet clothes!

Let them turn from feigning misery to truly being miserable!

Xiao’er didn’t believe that if they go back wearing these wet clothes, they wouldn’t become the subject of ridicule! They wouldn’t be disliked by Mrs. Ruan!

In the end, the ones who will suffer and lose face will be them!

Hearing this, Mrs. Fang felt regret in her heart! This Princess Rui was indeed not easy to deal with!

If they really go back in these wet clothes, Madam Ruan will definitely not treat them well. As for Master Ruan’s first wife? Ha ha... She would probably be very happy to see them make a fool of themselves!

Even though there are truly clothes in the carriage, it is difficult to mention it now. Because even if the two of them did not think of the clothes in the carriage, their maids would not overlook them, going out with a maid who can’t even take care of her master properly, would only make people look down on them even more! It will make people think that Master Ruan did not regard them, the mother and daughter, as important, and that a maid can lose face to them! It’s just an untrained maid!

In short, whatever they do now is wrong!
