Chapter 250: Grievances
After all the accompanying palace people withdrew, only Leng Chen, Ruo'an, Yanlu's father-in-law, Aunt Qiao'er, and Ziyan were left in the courtyard.
Ziyan quietly walked to Ruo'an's side, although she lowered her head, but her eyes kept glancing at Leng Chen, Aunt Qiao'er and Yanlu's father-in-law, they all bowed their heads and kept silent.
No one dared to speak, Leng Chen kept telling Ruo An not to tell Ruo'an about the marriage, but to find a suitable time to talk about it...... But no one expected that it would be such a situation today, which came out of Shan Yanran's arrogant mouth, and caught everyone off guard, and everyone was silent and no one dared to answer.
"Lord Wang, I'm tired and want to go back to my room to rest first...... Retire first......" Ruo An suddenly spoke, saluted Leng Chen as he spoke, and without waiting for Leng Chen to respond, he turned around and left, Zi Yan saw this, hurriedly bowed to Leng Chen and followed Ruo An to the backyard.
Looking at Ruo'an's figure that was gradually moving away, Leng Chen's heart was like numbness, and her eyebrows were even more twisted together, and her voice was so stiff...... When did she ever call herself like that......
Seeing this, Father-in-law Yanlu Leng Chen couldn't help but persuade: "Lord Wang...... Don't worry too much, Madame is a man who understands...... Will be considerate of your ......"
"Yes, Lord Wang, the matter has come to this, and there is nothing to hide from Madame......" Aunt Qiao'er couldn't help but persuade.
Leng Chen nodded: "Well, let's go get busy......"
"Then ...... prince" Father-in-law Yanlu asked, Leng Chen waved his hand: "Go down, let me stay alone......"
"Yes...... The prince ......" Yanlu's father-in-law and Aunt Qiao'er responded, although they were not relieved, but they still retreated, leaving Leng Chen to sit alone in the courtyard, the twilight became thicker and thicker, and the smell of rice wafting from the kitchen in the backyard could not touch Leng Chen at all. He only felt bitter in his heart, and he was grinding with Ruo'an's ears and temples a second ago, and in an instant, he sighed lightly, and unconsciously turned his wheelchair and walked in the direction of Ruoan.
At this time, Ruo'an had already changed his coat and sat on the soft couch and Ziyan changed the dressing for herself, Ziyan carefully wiped it with a cotton cloth, but it was still inevitable that blood would flow out, Ziyan felt distressed just by looking at it: "Does it hurt?" β
There was no response to her own question, and Ziyan couldn't help but look up. Seeing Ruo'an's eyes hollow and absent-minded, Ziyan stopped what she was doing and called softly: "Sister? Sister?! β
"Hmm......" Ruoan came back to his senses: "What did you say?" β
Ziyan sighed lightly: "Sister...... What are you thinking about...... so distracted?"
"I ...... I don't know, but I feel empty and uncomfortable......"
"Is it because of Princess Yuning?"
Joan nodded. Ziyan persuaded: "Actually, you can't blame the prince for this, he hasn't told you for a long time." I'm afraid you'll be upset......"
"Actually, I already knew...... I just don't want to admit it in my heart. I have always been lucky, so the prince didn't say it frankly, and I didn't know about it...... Isn't it a bit naΓ―ve? Some self-deception? Joan smiled wryly.
Ziyan shook her head, sat down beside Ruo'an, hugged her shoulders and said comfortingly: "Sister cares too much about the prince, and the depth of love will be so ......"
"Even if it's deep...... Still can't withstand the emperor's decree...... After all, he is the prince, how can he be mine alone......" Ruoan said, looking more and more depressed. Ziyan sighed: "Since my sister knows, why bother herself like this, just look away......"
"I just...... It's useless to talk too much......" Ruoan sighed softly. Don't look over your head and be sentimental alone, Ziyan couldn't bear to ask more questions when she saw her like this, so she took out gauze and slowly bandaged her wounds.
When Ziyan walked out of the door with the basin of water and the gauze she had changed, she happened to bump into Leng Chen standing in front of the door.
Ziyan bent down to salute, Leng Chen waved his hand and asked in a low voice, "How is Madame?" β
"Back to the prince, I just changed the medicine for my wife, and I am resting inside......" Ziyan responded, Leng Chen nodded, his hand on the wheelchair looked a little hesitant, Ziyan asked, "Prince...... Want to push you in? β
"No need, you can get busy......" Leng Chen responded, Ziyan had to nod and retreat when she saw this, Ziyan walked to the corner, couldn't help but look back, only to see that Leng Chen was still in place, and his thin body looked more and more lonely.
Although Leng Chen came to the door, he was apprehensive in his heart, he was still not ready how to appease Ruo'an, and he thought of countless words in his heart, but none of them could make Ruo'an unharmed...... Because of this, he lingered outside the door and refused to enter for a long time.
Ruo'an didn't hear the conversation between Ziyan and Leng Chen at first, she lay on the bed for a while, felt that the evening breeze was a little cold, so she got up and went to close the door, walked to the door, and was just about to close the door, when she saw Leng Chen stopped in front of the door.
Seeing Ruo'an come out, Leng Chen was also shocked, and Ruo'an was even more shocked and said, "When did the prince come, why didn't he spread the word?" β
Leng Chen didn't reply to Ruo'an's words and asked himself, "Is the injury on your hand better?" β
"The prince bothered...... The status of the concubine is humble, and she doesn't care about the prince so much...... It's getting late, if the prince has nothing else to do, then please go back......"
"You're mad at me......"
"No ......" Ruo'an didn't look over, she didn't want to be angry with Leng Chen, but for some reason the words came to her lips, and they became such a rejection thousands of miles away.
"Do you really blame me?" Leng Chen whispered.
Ruoan choked back tears and did not answer, Leng Chen sighed lightly: "You should blame me...... It's not good to blame me for failing to protect you and making you feel wronged...... But no matter what, I just want you to know that in my heart, your position is unmatched, even if you want to marry Shan Yuning, it is an expedient measure forced to desperation...... I don't want to affect the relationship between us because of Princess Yuning, there are many things in the emperor's family, even marriage......"
Leng Chen's words still touched Ruo'an after all, and she turned her head and whispered: "Actually, I already knew, but I didn't want to accept it in my heart, and instinctively rejected it, thinking that a miracle would happen...... It's because I'm too self-deceived, and the emperor's golden words and jade words, how can I be influenced by a humble concubine? You're a prince after all......"
"I'm sorry ......"
"And why say sorry...... You are the prince, I am just a concubine, not even a partial room...... How can I ......" Ruo'an didn't finish his words, Leng Chen suddenly got up and grabbed her waist. Blocked her words with his lips.
Ruo'an stared at Leng Chen with wide eyes, Leng Chen squinted his eyes and kissed mercilessly, brutally attacking the city, as if he was going to devour her completely, he had never been so rude......
Leng Chen's body trembled slightly due to the unstability of his legs and feet, but his arms were tightly wrapped around Ruo'an's waist, that urgency, that kind of strength, as if he wanted to rub Ruo'an's body into his body......
Joan cried...... Although Leng Chen didn't say anything, his movements already showed everything......
He struggled inside......
He was in pain......
A line of tears slipped into the corners of Joan's mouth. The tears were so warm and so bitter, they were Leng Chen's tears......
This kiss lasted for a long time, and neither of them was willing to let go of each other, until Leng Chen's physical strength was exhausted, and his feet fell into Ruo'an's arms. The lips of the two were forced to separate.
"Are you alright?" Ruoan hugged Leng Chen with a look of concern. Leng Chen raised his head and looked at Ruo'an without speaking. Ruo'an was in a hurry, thinking that he had hurt somewhere, so he hurriedly checked Leng Chen's body and asked, "Is it painful?" Did you hurt anything? β
Leng Chen still didn't speak, Ruo'an was anxious: "You are talking!" β
Leng Chen stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms again, lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "Stay by my side......"
Ruo'an was stunned for a moment, and Leng Chen continued to whisper: "You are the only wife in my Leng Chen's heart......"
Joan choked up. Even if there was more pain in her heart, it disappeared at this moment, and even though she knew that life would not be smooth sailing in the future, she made up her mind and courage to face it all. As long as Leng Chen has her in his heart, even if she wants to be wronged, she will admit it.
Leng Chen raised his head and kissed Ruo'an lightly on the forehead: "Don't cry, okay?" β
"Hmm......" Ruo'an looked at Leng Chen intently, as if he couldn't see enough, Leng Chen smiled: "Let's go out to eat, I haven't eaten much in a day......"
"But I ......"
"You have to eat if you're not hungry, you can recover quickly when you're full, only if you're healthy, I can rest assured, the road ahead is still very long, there will inevitably be stumbles, only when you're well, can you deal with these, isn't it?"
"Do you mean Princess Yuning and the crown princess?" Joan asked.
"Hmm...... Princess Yuning is better to get along with, but I am afraid that Shan Yanran will come to the house from time to time to make trouble, after all, she had a miscarriage at the beginning, and she blamed you and Ziyan for her miscarriage, and this time the princess got married, she is her mother's family, and she will not give up, and there will inevitably be chaos in the future......"
"Don't worry, I'll just ignore it......" Ruo'an couldn't help but persuade when he saw Leng Chen worried.
Leng Chen shook his head: "I'm not worried about this, but ......"
"And what?"
"Although Shan Yuning is married, the emperor gave him the main room, which means ......" Leng Chen's words were not finished, Ruo An waved his hand and interrupted him: "I know what you are worried about, are you afraid that they will use their seniority to suppress me?" β
Leng Chen nodded: "Yu Ning may not be too difficult for you, but Shan Yanran is not easy to say......"
"Shan Yanran is a quasi-princess, even if it is difficult for me, it is impossible to stay in the palace all day, when she is in the palace, I let her be ......" Ruo'an felt uncomfortable when she thought of Shan Yanran's arrogant face, not to mention that Ziyan's leg was still injured by her, how could she be comfortable when new and old hatreds were stacked together?
"I've wronged you...... Getting married to the princess is a scene, there will be no husband and wife, you must believe me......"
Ruoan was so moved that she didn't know what to say, she didn't expect Leng Chen to be willing to snub the princess of a country for her own sake. But at the same time, I couldn't help but feel sad for Shan Yuning, desperately wanting to stay by Leng Chen's side, but in the end I couldn't get his heart, I really don't know whether to be happy or sad to marry like this. (To be continued......)
