Venomous Empress Reborn

971 Birthday (4)

Ye Mei was too beautiful. There was no need to mention her beauty. She also had a special charm that attracted people’s attention at all times. In her charm, there was also a hint of innocence unique to young women. Most importantly, Ye Mei was very glib-tongued. For example, this was the first time the siblings had seen so many rich madams today, but now, they were already chatting happily with them.

She was a beautiful, smart, and sensible woman. Now, she even became the daughter of the Ye family. Seeing that Madam Ye doted on her very much and that she was much better than her in terms of status and power, Lu Wan’er felt a strong sense of danger.

When she heard that Ye Mei had even saved Prince Rui’s life, Lu Wan’er gritted her teeth in hatred.

All along, Lu Wan’er had always treated Xie Jingxing as her man. Even with Shen Miao around, Lu Wan’er had never given up on this idea. It was not difficult for the Lu family to make a woman who came from a foreign land disappear. Therefore, Lu Wan’er had never taken Shen Miao seriously. On the other hand, Ye Mei was different. The relationship between the Ye family and the Lu family was subtle. They weren’t considered foes nor friends. If the Ye family wanted to have a marriage alliance with Prince Rui… Lu Wan’er shuddered at the thought of this and bit her lip without saying anything.

As she was thinking, Madam Ye said in surprise, “Speaking of which, I haven’t seen the princess consort. Why isn’t she here today?”

The madams started whispering again. In fact, they weren’t stupid. They had naturally noticed it long ago. The reason why they did not say it was because no one brought it up. Now that Madam Ye mentioned it, they started to discuss without scruples.

Madam Ye continued, “Is she sick? A few days ago, when I went to pick up my children, she looked a little haggard when I saw her. I think it’s probably the case. Prince Rui was bedridden, so as his wife, she should be terribly worried. It seems that at that time, her health was not good, so she couldn’t even take care of Prince Rui.”

As soon as she said that, there was an uproar. Madam Ye secretly mentioned that she had been to Prince Yu’s mansion. She also belittled Shen Miao. When Prince Rui’s life was on the line, Shen Miao actually didn’t even take care of him. Even if she was really sick, she should stay by his side.

On the other side, Xie Jingxing was drinking a glass of wine his colleague handed to him. It was unknown if he heard Madam Ye’s words or not, but he had a faint smile on his lips and did not even look over.

Someone said, “Could it be that they are quarreling?”

“I don’t think so.” Madam Lu smiled amiably. “Back then, didn’t the princess consort personally say that Prince Rui won’t take in anyone else? It can be seen that the two of you are very deeply in love. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said such a thing. Since they love each other so much, they definitely won’t quarrel. Don’t overthink.” Madam Lu was still unhappy with what Shen Miao said to Lu Wan’er back then. The more she said that, the more it made Shen Miao look like she was arrogant and made a fool of herself.

When Lu Wan’er heard this, she felt a little better.

Ye Mei looked at Madam Ye slightly and said, “Prince Rui won’t take in anyone else?”
