Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

Xi Niang showed a bitter smile on her face. She didn't want the people in the Prince's Mansion to know about the housework at home: "Thank you for helping me apply the medicine. It's getting late. Go to bed early!"

Lancao sighed, lay on the bed and closed her eyes.

……

Under the scorching spring sun, with a hint of the scent of flowers and plants, He Shulan sat in the pavilion, playing chess with herself.

Thinking that she had not yet found the old lady's granddaughter, she put down the chess piece in her hand and asked Chunxia: "Do you know a servant named Xiniang in the mansion?"

"Princess, I entered the mansion on the same day as you, and you didn't even recognize me, so how could I possibly know you?"

He Shulan wanted to repay the old lady's kindness: "Go ask the chief steward in the mansion to help me find out which courtyard the bride works in."

"Got it."

After Chunxia left, the prince who was walking in the garden walked into the pavilion and said, "It's so boring to play chess alone. I'll play with you."

"Okay." He Shulan took the black pieces and gave the white pieces to the prince.

The two men didn't say a word, just sat there playing chess quietly, striking back and forth, neither refusing to give in, fighting fiercely on the board.

The prince was good at chess and rarely met an opponent. Unexpectedly, He Shulan’s chess skills were also good and were on par with him, but somewhat behind him.

Seeing that the Prince was about to win, He Shulan suddenly changed his strategy from being conservative to offensive, and quickly conquered the Prince.

Although the prince lost, he was very happy with the game: "Who taught you how to play chess?"

This was what He Shulan learned in her previous life. Chen Lerong did not spend money to hire a teacher to teach her these things, but Liu Chen went to the Ministry of Personnel, and the wives of officials often invited her to banquets, where they often exchanged ideas on music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In order to help Liu Chen and to integrate into this circle, she worked hard to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

In order to save the reputation of the He family, she had to lie: "My mother has invited teachers to come to the mansion to teach me and my sister since we were young."

"You have learned well." The prince couldn't help but praise.

He Shulan smiled.

The prince became much kinder to He Shulan, and the two of them became closer without knowing when: "You have been sitting for so long, come with me to the garden for a walk."

"Okay." He Shulan stood up and followed the prince.

The sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the Prince and Princess, who were talking and laughing by the lake.

This scene was seen by a servant passing by, and soon spread like wildfire in the mansion, saying that the prince and his princess were extremely affectionate.

Li Wanrong heard the rumor and angrily grabbed the servant and asked, "Where did you see the prince and his wife?"

The servant was frightened by Li Wanrong's ferocious appearance and swallowed nervously: "The prince and princess are taking a walk in the back garden."

Li Wanrong immediately let go of her hand and ran to the back garden angrily. She had never expected He Shulan to be so insidious. She actually took advantage of her cold war with the prince to steal her girl. When she arrived at the back garden, she saw the prince and his wife standing by the lake, talking and laughing.

She ran over and pulled He Shulan away: "You shameless bitch, how dare you steal my man."

He Shulan's eyes were full of sarcasm. Did Li Wanrong speak without thinking? "Auntie Li, don't talk nonsense. What do you mean I stole your man? The prince and I are the original couple, and you are a concubine."

"You mean I'm stealing your man."

He Shulan shrugged: "I didn't say that, you said that."

"You..." Li Wanrong was blocked and couldn't refute: "I tell you, don't daydream. The prince only has me in his heart. He won't be with you."

He Shulan ignored her because what Li Wanrong said was right. The prince really only had Li Wanrong in his heart. Since she married into the prince's mansion, he had never entered her room.

Seeing that He Shulan was silent, Li Wanrong thought that she was guilty, so she became even more aggressive and pushed He Shulan away, making her stay further away from the prince: "Stay away from the prince in the future, and do not seduce him. The prince is mine."

Li Wanrong's jealous look made the prince even more disgusted: "What nonsense are you talking about? He Shulan is the princess of the county. She doesn't need to seduce me."

"Have you changed your mind? Have you fallen in love with He Shulan after spending some time together?" Li Wanrong's heart was beating fast. The sense of crisis made her even more impatient. If the prince changed his mind, her life in the prince's mansion would be even more difficult.

After spending some time together, the prince's opinion of He Shulan has indeed changed a lot. Their relationship is no longer as tense as before and has eased a lot, but it cannot be said that they love each other. They are more like close friends.

He was about to say something, but he noticed that there were many servants around him. He didn't tell the truth. If the servants knew that he didn't like He Shulan, He Shulan's prestige in the mansion would be greatly reduced, and the servants would not listen to her anymore. He immediately changed his words: "What's the matter? Let's go back to the courtyard and talk."

"No, you must explain it to me clearly in front of this vicious woman today." Seeing that the prince was helping her intentionally or unintentionally, Li Wanrong began to lose control of her emotions.

The prince's good mood was ruined by Li Wanrong. He completely lost his patience and turned around and left the garden.

Li Wanrong glared at He Shulan fiercely and hurriedly followed her.

Qiu Dong was unhappy: "Princess, why don't you punish Li Wanrong? She is too arrogant and doesn't take you seriously."

In He Shulan's eyes, Li Wanrong was a joke. She didn't explain too much, she just wanted to piss Li Wanrong off. Seeing Li Wanrong going crazy, she felt so comfortable in her heart: "With the prince here, it's not my turn to make the decision."

Qiu Dong pouted: "I have never seen a master who dotes on his concubine so much."

At this time, Chun Xia came over in a hurry: "Princess, I found the bridesmaid."

"Which courtyard does she work for?"

Chunxia replied: "This is really a coincidence. Xi Niang works in Aunt Li's courtyard."

Hearing this, He Shulan raised her eyebrows. This was a bit difficult. Li Wanrong hated her so much that if she asked for it, she would definitely not give her the maid in the courtyard. "She is Aunt Li's personal maid, or a rough maid."

"She is a maid who does rough work and is often beaten and scolded by Aunt Li." After Chunxia found the person, she made a special investigation.

He Shulan frowned. This Li Yi Niang looked lively and cheerful, but she didn't expect that she liked to torture servants. "If that's the case, why don't you leave the Prince's Mansion?"

"This slave doesn't know."

He Shulan did not continue to ask, thinking about how to get the person out of Li Wanrong's hands: "Take the silver and bribe the servants in Li Wanrong's courtyard, and ask them to keep an eye on Xi Niang's situation at all times and report to me immediately if anything happens."

Chun Xia asked curiously, "Princess, why are you so concerned about this bridesmaid?"

He Shulan did not hide the story because Chunxia was her personal maid and someone she could trust. She told Chunxia how she and the Prince were chased by bandits, fell off a cliff, and met Grandma Xiniang who saved them.
