Ye Jinsu lowered her eyes and gave a formal bow, "Princess Jin An."
Standing at the entrance, the Grand Princess caught sight of a small bottle of medicine on the table within the room. She lowered her head to look at Ye Jinsu kneeling on the ground.
Ye Jinxiu lowered her head, and her emotions could not be heard in the Grand Princess's voice. She could only open her mouth and reply, "Yes."
After a moment of silence.
The Grand Princess lifted her legs and walked in. She sat down by the table and picked up the black bottle. He was truly willing to give it to her. This medicine could only be used by the imperial family in the palace. Ye Jinxiu wasn't even qualified to take a look.
"How long have you known each other?" the Grand Princess asked flatly.
Ye Jinsu lowered her eyes, unable to guess what she was thinking at the moment. She replied honestly, "It's been more than four months since I returned to the princess."
The Grand Princess scoffed, and slammed the bottle onto the table with a loud bang. The Grand Princess's voice instantly turned stern, bringing with it a pressure that could not be ignored, "What great skill!"
Ye Jinxiu lowered her head and put on a humble expression, not saying another word.
The Grand Princess stood up and looked down at Ye Jinsu, "I can pretend that I didn't see all of those lousy tricks you've played today, but don't play any of them in front of 14th brother."
She didn't need to worry about anything else except for her woman. She simply couldn't handle the situation on her own.
She had to intervene.
With that, the Grand Princess walked around Ye Jinsu a few more times before her voice turned calm, "I know what you're thinking. With your family's looks and talents, it's not surprising that you want to marry into the Royal Mansion."
"There are so many people in the capital for you to choose from. The son of the prince, the son of the marquis, all of them are rich."
The Grand Princess's expression was ice-cold. She reached out her hand to pinch Ye Jinsu's chin, forcing her to raise her head. Her sharp nails dug into her flesh, causing Ye Jinsu to feel a bit of pain. The Grand Princess spoke word for word, "Why do you insist on pestering my fourteenth brother?"
Without waiting for a reply, the Grand Princess continued, "Are you looking for the position of the wangfei or the wangfei?"
Her voice was very soft, but Ye Jinsu could hear her voice very clearly.
Lowering his eyes, Ye Jinsu didn't say anything. It was as if a ball of cotton had been stuffed into his throat.
She didn't know what to say.
That he had never thought of marrying Ning Yunxiao? Or was it to explain that he had never designed these?
None of them were something she could accept.
Xiao Hong knelt at the side and kowtowed as its eyes turned red, "Princess, my Miss isn't like that. Miss has never played any tricks in front of Ning Wang."
With that, Xiao Hong kneeled at the Grand Princess's feet, holding onto the hem of her skirt and choked on her sobs, "Prince Ning is such a smart person, how could he be tricked by my Young Miss? My Young Miss isn't that kind of person, she's a very good person."
Ye Jinsu's breathing was disorderly.
The Grand Princess let go of Xiao Hong's hand and retreated a few steps back before tossing it back to Xiao Hong. She looked at Ye Jinsu and said in a deep voice, "I've been in the palace for so many years. I know exactly what is on the mind of a young lady of your age."
"Regardless of whether you did it or not, you should never have stayed by Brother Fourteenth's side."
"You're thinking too much." The Grand Princess stared at Ye Jinsu and emphasized her words. Just based on this point alone, it wasn't suitable for her to stay by Ning Yunyin's side. She had never hated smart people, but she hated scheming and scheming people. She had seen too many of these kinds of people, and they made her sick.
A man who could frame his sister, a man who could act leisurely in front of so many people, a woman who was full of scheming, a woman who could not be at ease in her bones. Such a person shouldn't have stayed by Ning Yunyin's side.
"He doesn't need a princess like that, do you understand?" The Grand Princess warned. What Ning Yunyin needed was a virtuous, virtuous, and virtuous woman who could stay at home and let him have no worries for the rest of his life.
Ye Jinsu was not this person.
After speaking, the Grand Princess loosened her grip, and the bottle of medicine in her hand fell.
The fragile porcelain bottle fell to the ground and instantly shattered in front of Ye Jinsu. The black medicinal liquid within was scattered all over the ground.
"There are some things I'll only say once. You better remember your limits."
Then he turned and left.
In the silence of the room, Ye Jinsu lowered her head and did not move at all. At some point, she tightened her fingers. The sweat on her palms was sticky as her nails drew red marks. Ye Jinsu lowered her eyes and bit into the soft flesh on her lips.
Xiao Hong crawled over and supported Ye Jinsu with a choked voice, "Miss, Miss, please wake up."
Ye Jinxiu snapped out of her daze and helped Little Red to stand up, looking a little dazed.
Xiao Hong looked at Ye Jinxiu, who had lost her soul, and cried out in worry. She pulled Ye Jinxiu's sleeve and said, "Miss, don't be sad. The Grand Princess didn't know the truth. She misunderstood you."
Ye Jinxiu turned her head to look at her and smiled stiffly, "What are you thinking about? How am I sad?"
After saying that, Ye Jinxiu pulled Little Red outside, "Let's go back."
Even Ye Jinsu herself did not notice that her voice was slightly trembling.
In the carriage.
Ye Jinsu leaned against the window and closed her eyes quietly, her breathing gradually becoming calmer. It was hard to tell if he was asleep or not. Seeing Ye Jinsu acting like this, Lil 'Red didn't know what to say. It kept rushing back and forth and Lil' Red's eyes reddened again.
What kind of person was the Grand Princess? What could the Young Miss do if she said such words to her?
How could he disobey?
She could only think of a way to comfort Ye Jinsu.
"Miss, the Grand Princess misunderstood you, Miss isn't that kind of woman." Little Red said in an aggrieved manner. Little Miss is clearly the best lady in the world, the kindest lady in the world. How did it end up in the Grand Princess's mouth?
Ning Wang was the same as well. If he hadn't provoked the little miss first, she wouldn't have been injured so badly because of him.
The carriage was completely silent. Ye Jinxiu didn't even bat an eyelash.
She must have fallen asleep. Xiao Hong suppressed her sobs.
In a place she couldn't see, Ye Jinsu's hands, hidden in her wide sleeves, gradually tightened. The piece of jade hanging by her side swayed along with the carriage, swaying at Ye Jinsu's feet.
Ye Jinxiu clenched her fingers, suppressing the urge to grab it.
Foolish Little Red, the Grand Princess didn't misunderstand me.
She just doesn't like me...
What does it matter? Ye Jinsu leaned against the window and thought, it wasn't a big deal, and these words couldn't hurt her at all.
However, she still felt as if her heart was being squeezed, causing her to feel suffocated.
In the quiet room, Ye Jinsu stood in front of the mirror and allowed Xiao Hong to change her clothes. Her gaze touched the jade in Little Red's hand and she was about to hang it up for Ye Jinxiu. Ye Jinxiu's eyelashes trembled. She reached out her hand to stop Little Red, "Don't hang up anymore. Put it away."
