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

He Shulan's face was not very happy, and she just left like that. From then on, Li Wanrong ignored her even more and became even more arrogant.

But thinking of Li Wanrong now, who even the prince doesn't care about, it's probably useless to save her face: "Since Aunt Li is still sleeping, let's go back first and come back in the evening."

Nanny Chen and Chunxia were instantly annoyed. Their master was the princess of a county prince, and although Li Wanrong was a concubine, she was still a concubine. Why should their master come to Li Wanrong again and again?

The two of them pushed Xing'er away tacitly and knocked hard on the door of Li Wanrong's room.

Xing Er hurried forward to stop them: "Don't disturb Auntie's rest."

No matter how Xing'er tried to dissuade them, it was useless. Nanny Chen and Chunxia would never let their master suffer any injustice, so they knocked harder on the door.

Li Wanrong, who was sleeping in bed, was woken up by the noise. She put on her clothes and angrily opened the door: "It is very immoral to disturb others' rest."

Chun Xia and Nanny Chen didn't care at all: "The Princess of the County wants to see you for something."

He Shulan smiled helplessly. This time she had offended Li Wanrong again. Now that things had come to this, she didn't say much.

Li Wanrong was so angry that her eyes were red as she glared at He Shulan: "What's the matter that's so urgent? Is the sky falling or is the Prince's Mansion on fire? Why do you have to come to me at this time?"

He Shulan didn't indulge Li Wanrong either: "I am the grandmother of the Prince's Mansion. I am here to see you in person. Even if you are sleeping, you must get up quickly and come out to see me."

"You... this evil feudal society." Li Wanrong stopped arguing with He Shulan about this matter and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I came to your courtyard today to remind you that you are the noble concubine of the prince. Don't get too close to strange men. If you cause rumors, not only will you be ashamed to see people, but the prince's mansion will also be ashamed."

He Shulan's words were very clear, but Li Wanrong still didn't react: "I was sleeping in my room, walking with a strange man, don't slander me."

He Shulan had to say it more obviously: "You are so young, but your memory is so bad. This morning, was there a strange man who sent you back to the Prince's Mansion and helped you get off the carriage?"

Li Wanrong now knew that the strange man He Shulan was referring to was Huo Jian: "He and I are just ordinary friends, not the kind of relationship you think."

"No one will believe what you say. It's not too late now. Don't meet that man again. Just stay in the Prince's Mansion and nothing will happen."

Li Wanrong obviously didn't take He Shulan's words to heart, and felt that He Shulan was meddling too much: "I don't need you to deliberately warn me."

He Shulan's words were conveyed clearly. Whether Li Wanrong followed her instructions or not was not something she could control. She ignored the furious Li Wanrong and left with Nanny Chen and Chunxia.

Xing Er walked up to Li Wanrong and said, "Aunt, I can't stop the Princess's men."

Li Wanrong did not vent her anger on Xing'er. What puzzled her was that the prince did not come with her: "The princess knows, and the prince should also know whether he came to see me."

"The prince didn't come." Xing'er was afraid that Li Wanrong would be unhappy, so she wanted to be perfunctory. However, she didn't dare to tell a lie, so she could only speak the truth carefully.

Li Wanrong began to worry. The prince did not come to cause trouble for her and was so calm. She didn't know what he was thinking. Now she could only take one step at a time.

......

After dinner, Chen Lerong sat under the dim light, waiting for He's father. She waited until midnight but he still didn't come back. She walked around the room anxiously. She had been with He's father for so many years, but he had never come back so late, and it had been like this for more than a month.

She really couldn't wait any longer, so she asked the maid who was guarding outside the door to go to the study to see why Father He hadn't returned to his room to sleep at this time.

The maid who received the order immediately went to the study, but was stopped by the servant who was guarding outside: "The master is working, don't go in and disturb him."

"Madam asked me to ask why the master hasn't returned to his room to rest at this time."

The servant replied expressionlessly: "You just heard it, the master is still working, I don't know exactly when he will finish, you should let the lady rest early."

The girl turned around and prepared to leave, but she heard a woman's giggle coming from the study. She looked at the servant nervously, "Is there a woman in the study?"

The servant hurriedly covered up: "What woman's voice? You heard it wrong."

"Really? I heard it clearly just now." The maid pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the movements in the study. After listening for a long time, she didn't hear any woman's voice, so she left. But she was still worried. The servant stood guard at the door and wouldn't let her in, so she couldn't see what was going on inside.

After returning to the yard, the maid told Chen Lerong the truth about the situation.

Chen Lerong looked unhappy: "I haven't heard of any major events in the court recently. Why have you been so busy every day for more than a month?"

The girl finally couldn't help herself and told Chen Lerong about the woman's giggling in the study.

Chen Lerong's face changed suddenly. Could it be that He's father was with another woman behind her back? "I know. It's getting late. You should go back and get some rest." She lay on the bed in panic, unable to sleep all night. She kept her eyes open until dawn, waiting for the master to go to court. She could no longer suppress her curiosity and went to the study to find out.

In order to make it convenient for He's father to handle court affairs and study, the study was built in a remote corner. It occupied a relatively large area and could fully meet the needs of daily life. Chen Lerong walked around the study and didn't see any suspicious people. She felt that she was making a fuss out of nothing.

Then she left and went back to her own courtyard to rest. At noon, she went to the kitchen and asked the chef to prepare a few dishes that He's father liked. She waited for He's father to come back from court at the gate: "Come to my place for lunch at noon."

He's father's mind was on Bai Lian. He wanted to have lunch with Bai Lian, but he couldn't refuse Chen Lerong. He followed Chen Lerong to her yard and sat there eating absent-mindedly.

Chen Lerong picked up the fish from the plate and put it in He's father's bowl: "This fish is very fresh, eat more."

Father He was absent-minded and swallowed the fish without spitting out the bone. The bone got stuck in his throat. He pinched his neck and tried to spit it out, but failed.

"Why are you so careless?" Chen Lerong handed the cup of water to He's father.

Father He gulped down the fish bone in his throat and instantly felt alive again.

"Look at how anxious you are. No one is trying to snatch the food from you. Why are you in such a hurry to eat?"

Father He didn't know how to respond to Chen Lerong's words. After this incident, he didn't have the heart to continue eating: "I'll go back to the study to deal with the court affairs first."
