When she was dating Ling Yunche before, she knew that although he was guarding the cold palace, the palace maids and concubines in the cold palace would occasionally embroider some handkerchiefs for him to take out and exchange for money.

The patterns on the handkerchief were the most fashionable in the palace. If they were sent outside, they could be exchanged for a lot of money. But he would always take half of the money from those people.

In my previous life, I had been tortured in the palace because of bad luck, and naturally I had no chance to come into contact with any good things. When Ling Yunche took out the ruby ​​ring, I was so moved that I almost cried.

But now that I’ve calmed down and thought about it, did Ling Yunche really save up this money with great difficulty?

I'm afraid that she spent all the money on drinking and socializing with colleagues, and finally bought a ring like this to fool herself, and also took the opportunity to disparage her mother as "fawning on the powerful and looking down on the weak" and "snobbish".

Fortunately, I served the Empress Dowager in this life. Although the Emperor rarely came to the Empress Dowager's palace, the rewards came in like water. What's more, the Fucha family was a prominent family in the court. From time to time, they would send some new toys and precious treasures to the Empress Dowager.

It was also because of this that Wei Yanwan gained more knowledge and broadened her horizons. She also knew better than anyone how cheap the "meaningful" ruby ​​ring that Ling Yunche took out at this time was.

Ling Yunche rambled on and on, "And I don't even want to talk about your mother and brother. They are like a bottomless pit. You've put all your money into them every month. If you keep going like this, it will never end."

Only then did Wei Yanwan realize the reason why the Queen had such an indescribable expression when she and she talked about Ling Yunche.

Ling Yunche is now working in the cold palace. Most of the time he is not very busy and even has time to help those people get handkerchiefs out of the palace in exchange for money. If they really like me, they may even have plans for the future with me.

He should not have kept blaming his mother and younger brother. Since his mother could not change her attitude, she could at least give his younger brother some pointers on martial arts and give him some advice.

Or it is to give yourself a better life, work hard and strive to move up.

In her previous life, she knew that she had to save money with great difficulty so that she could be transferred to the palace of a favored concubine to serve. In this way, she could not only subsidize her mother and younger brother, but also save money to leave the palace and marry Ling Yunche in the future.

But Ling Yunche seemed to have done nothing except constantly denigrating her family, her background, and her relatives.

"Yanwan, why don't you say anything?" Ling Yunche was talking until his mouth was dry. Only then did he notice that Wei Yanwan had been standing silently by the side. "Are you still angry? But what I said was not wrong. Your mother is that kind of person. Your brother... I don't even want to say it. If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will be a problem for you to get married in the future!"

Daddy's sermon.

It’s obvious that I haven’t achieved anything, and it’s obvious that I’m not a hardworking and ambitious person.

But we can only focus on the shortcomings of others and blame all the problems and all the reasons on others.

Not willing to put in any effort, but very good at blaming others.

Wei Yanwan smiled, slowly raised her hand, revealing the ruby ​​ring as big as a pigeon egg on her finger.

The gemstone on the ring is as red as blood, and appears even more vivid and translucent under the sunlight, without any impurities.

She slowly raised her hand with the ruby ​​ring and showed it to Ling Yunche, then smiled and said, "Ling Yunche, you see, life is often as easy as pie."

Ling Yunche was stunned. Even if he had never seen good things, he knew at this moment that the ruby ​​ring was very valuable and he could not afford it even with his salary of more than ten years combined.

"Yan Wan, you...do you have someone else in your heart?"

His breath got stuck in his throat, and after hesitating for a while, he finally asked this question.

Wei Yanwan sneered, "In your mind, do women have to rely on men to accomplish anything or gain anything?"

"That……"

"This ring was given to me by the Empress after I told her about you and me." She used the word 'given' instead of 'reward'. "Ling Yunche, you know what? I even really believed what you said about using your connections to help me serve other concubines."

Ling Yunche stood there and moved his mouth, but couldn't say a word. He knew that he didn't actually do that, and he felt that Wei Yanwan was just being pretentious.

After all, how could it not be difficult to serve in the palace? How could it be possible to not suffer any injustice? Didn't everyone go through this? What's wrong with being patient?

"But now I am serving the Empress and have become the head maid of Changchun Palace. The Empress thinks highly of me and not only teaches me how to read and write, but also teaches me many life lessons."

"I want to separate from you, not because I have climbed up the social ladder, nor because I despise the poor and love the rich. It's because you and I have different ideas in all aspects, and we can't get along."

If Wei Yanwan had some hatred towards Ling Yunche before, now she has really let go of everything.

"I am working hard every day to change my current fate, but you are complaining that your current job is dirty and tiring, and you are unwilling to make any effort."

"You dislike my mother for favoring boys over girls and think that my brother is not ambitious. I have nothing to say about this. After all, what you said is true. But when you are planning to marry me in the future, you can only criticize and fail to give any substantive suggestions."

"But the Queen is different. She sent people to punish my mother, and even sent my brother to the Fucha family to gain experience. She also made use of me. She really loves me and respects me."

Ling Yunche couldn't believe what he heard, "The Queen is so busy on weekdays..."

"You also said that the Queen is usually so busy. Not only does she have to deal with all the big and small things in the harem, but she also has to worry about the relationship between the concubines, serve His Majesty, and serve the Queen Mother. But even so, the Queen can really think from the perspective of us servants and help those in need."

"What about you? You were my only support in the harem, and the person I longed to marry after leaving the palace." Wei Yanwan discovered that after she removed the filter from Ling Yunche, he was just an ordinary and arrogant man.

"But now I have thought it through. Are you good or bad? I am not in a position to judge, but you are not the one I want. The Queen said that I deserve better."

"I agreed to come here to see you today in order to make everything clear. I will be working in Changchun Palace in the future and will be getting busier and busier. If it is not work-related, we should not meet again."

Wei Yanwan smiled, then put aside the ruby ​​ring that Ling Yunche had forced upon her, "I won't accept this ring. You should keep it and give it to someone who truly understands you."
