Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down
Chapter 59 Li's Provocation
The moonlight was like water, falling on the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, reflecting a faint silver light. The next morning, before the sun completely dispelled the cold of the night, everyone in the Fourth Prince's Mansion had already started a new day. The fifteenth of every month was the day for everyone to pay respects to Lady Yi Ya, and the main courtyard of the Yi Ya Mansion seemed particularly busy.
Although Wu slept late last night because she was worried, she knew the importance of paying respects, so she still got up early and dressed neatly. She came to the main courtyard, where several maids were already busy, and her arrival did not attract much attention.
After a while, Li Gege also came to the main courtyard. Although she was pregnant, Lady Yi Ya had exempted her from paying respects, but she still insisted on coming. She couldn't wait to see how Wu and Geng were doing last night, to know if they were still as close as they were yesterday, and if there would be any changes between them. At the same time, she was also thinking about how to use this opportunity to gain benefits for herself.
When Wu saw Li Gege coming, she immediately stepped forward to pay her respects. "I pay my respects to Li Gege. May Li Gege be blessed with good health."
Li Gege nodded calmly as a response. Then, Wu returned to her seat and sat down. She didn't want to say anything more to Li Gege.
However, Li Gege did not seem to let her go. She walked up to Wu and asked with a smile: "Yesterday, Wu just entered the Prince's Mansion. I wonder how Wu slept last night."
Wu's heart tightened, she knew that Li Gege was testing her. She didn't want Li Gege to see her worries, so she replied softly: "Thank you for your concern, I had a good rest last night." She tried her best to make her tone sound calm and natural.
Li Gege seemed dissatisfied with this answer. She sighed softly and said to herself, "We both entered the palace on the same day, but someone else was favored before me. If it were me, I would never be able to tolerate it." Although her words were said lightly, the meaning behind them was very clear.
Wu heard the hidden meaning in Li Gege's words. She knew that Li Gege was referring to her. She felt unhappy, but she didn't show it. She just lowered her head and played with the handkerchief in her hand without saying a word. She didn't want to argue with Li Gege, nor did she want to cause unnecessary trouble on this occasion.
Seeing Wu's reaction, Li Gege said nothing more. She sneered in her heart, knowing that these words had planted the seeds of suspicion in Wu's heart. In the future, as long as she was guided a little, Wu would definitely become hostile to her. She turned around and left with satisfaction, leaving Wu sitting alone, with complicated emotions in her heart.
Wu knew that she needed to be cautious in this strange mansion and not trust anyone easily. At the same time, she also silently warned herself in her heart that no matter what difficulties and challenges she encountered, she must keep a clear head and a firm stand. Only in this way can she gain a foothold in this palace full of competition and calculation.
Song Gege walked into the main courtyard lightly. Her arrival was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, creating ripples. Everyone's eyes turned to her. She smiled and nodded, then sat down gracefully in her seat.
As time went by, everyone's attention gradually turned to the door. The last to arrive was Geng, who walked into the main courtyard a little awkwardly. She had served Yinzhen wholeheartedly last night, but Yinzhen did not stay in her room. This made her feel a little uneasy, worrying that she had not done something well enough to displease Yinzhen.
However, she knew that such worries should not be easily revealed, so she tried to remain calm, smiled and greeted everyone, and sat down in her seat.
Li Gege sat aside, she looked at Geng for a while, then said: "I haven't seen Sister Geng for a day, she is really in high spirits, her face is so rosy that I envy her."
There was a hint of provocation in her tone, and Geng knew full well that she was deliberately trying to make enemies for him.
However, she did not want to have a conflict with Li Gege, so she laughed and said, "Sister Li, what are you talking about? I can't compare to your blessings."
Seeing Geng's response, Li Gege stopped provoking her. She knew that Geng was a smart woman and would not be easily swayed by her words. So she changed the subject and started chatting with others.
Geng was relieved. She didn't want to have a conflict with Li Gege. She thought about what happened last night and was going to explain it to Wu, but then Yi Ya Fu Jin came in.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yi Ya again. "Greetings to Madam Consort. May Madam Consort be blessed with good health and longevity." Yi Ya smiled and nodded to everyone, then sat in the main seat.
"Geng." Lady Yi Ya looked at Geng and said, "Thank you for your hard work last night."
Geng quickly stood up and responded respectfully: "Serving you is my duty, it's not hard." Although her voice was respectful, she could not hide the uneasiness in her heart.
Lady Yiya smiled and nodded, then said to Nanny Wang, "Give the things I prepared to Geng's maid."
Nanny Wang nodded in agreement and turned to hand the gift box to Geng's maid. Geng's maid took the gift box and thanked Lady Yi Ya respectfully.
Lady Yi Ya smiled and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to be polite. Then she said to everyone, "Let's stop here today, and everyone can go back."
Everyone stood up, bowed and left, and the main courtyard returned to peace again.
"Sister Wu, wait for me." Geng called softly, hoping that Wu would stop and give her a chance to explain. However, Wu seemed not to hear and continued to walk forward with her maid, as if to forget Geng.
Geng's heart sank. She understood Wu's dissatisfaction and anger. Yinzhen's choice last night did cast a shadow on their relationship. She thought that as long as she explained it well, Wu would understand her difficulties and the two would be able to reconcile. But now it seems that things are not that simple.
Just when Geng was feeling helpless, Li Gege came over with a chuckle. "Sister Geng, it seems that your charm is not strong enough. Sister Wu doesn't want to pay attention to you." Li Gege's words were somewhat teasing and provocative.
Geng frowned when she heard this. She didn't like Li Gege's gloating attitude. But she also knew that Li Gege just wanted to laugh at her and would not really help her. Therefore, she ignored Li Gege's sarcasm, just smiled faintly, turned around and left with the maid.
After returning to the palace, Geng fell into deep thought. She understood that Wu's dissatisfaction was not a momentary anger, but a long-standing misunderstanding and suspicion. What happened last night was just the fuse that completely broke the relationship between the two. She knew she needed to take action to repair the relationship, but how to start?
At this moment, a maid hurried in and reported in a low voice: "Master, Master Wu has returned to the courtyard and is now walking in the courtyard."
Geng's heart was moved when she heard this. She knew this was a rare opportunity to have a good talk with Wu. So she quickly tidied her dress and hurried to the courtyard with her maid.
In the courtyard, the moonlight sprinkled on the path like water, and Wu was walking leisurely alone. Her expression was calm and indifferent, as if she had let go of all her worries. Geng saw this and felt a pang of pain in her heart. She knew that she had to face reality and communicate with Wu bravely.
She walked up to him and said softly, "Sister Wu, I'm sorry. I know you were angry about what happened last night. But I hope you can listen to my explanation."
Wu stopped and looked at Geng calmly. She didn't say anything, but she didn't reject Geng's approach. Geng was delighted to see this, knowing that she had taken the most difficult first step.
She took a deep breath and continued, "I know you are disappointed and sad about my choice. But please believe me, I did not betray you or deliberately rob you of your opportunity."
Wu listened to Geng's explanation, her expression remained calm. But there was a ripple in her eyes, as if she was touched by Geng's words. She knew that Geng did not lie or deliberately deceive her, but the scars in her heart needed time to heal slowly.
At night, Wu lay in bed, tossing and turning, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She recalled the good times she had spent with Geng, and she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sadness in her heart. She knew that she could never go back, and the rift between her and Geng could not be repaired.
