After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power
Chapter 266: Unconventional Moves
Jiang Xue Ning told Qing He to take good care of Lin Ran, while she went out with her men for inspection.
So after Lin Ran woke up, he didn't see her for ten days.
That day, the ladies agreed to come and see her together. After all, she was injured while saving Jiang Xue Ning, which was a life-saving favor.
Her wounds had healed a lot, and she cheered up, sitting on the couch to receive the ladies who came to visit her.
Just as they were talking in a hypocritical manner, Qing He pushed the door open and said, "The King of Xiang is here."
Jiang Xue Ning came in wearing riding clothes and holding a whip in her hand, obviously having just returned from outside.
She smiled and told the ladies not to be polite, and gently asked Lin Ran, "Are you used to living in the mansion these days? How is your wound healing?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am sorry for causing you trouble."
Jiang Xue Ning chose this time to come, of course, for a reason.
"You have worked hard this time, even if you have not made any contribution. You have been badly injured. How do you want to compensate me?"
This was really unpleasant to say, and the ladies looked at each other in confusion.
Shangguan Wan took on the air of a female official and said slowly, "Miss Lin, don't blame the princess for speaking bluntly. The princess has seen a lot of bloody storms. Under the circumstances at that time, even if you didn't rush over, the princess would still be safe."
This was clearly saying that she was meddling in other people's business. Lin Ran said with a bad look on her face, "It seems that I have done too much. I will pack up and go back home tomorrow. I can't afford any compensation."
Shangguan Wan finished playing the good cop role, and Jiang Xue Ning took over the bad cop role. She said gently, "You can't say that. It's rare that Miss Lin has the heart to save people, not to mention that she's injured."
Lin Ran lowered her eyes and said nothing. This was not the result she wanted. Jiang Xue Ning's reaction was also completely different from what she expected.
"Let's put it this way. Marriage is very important for a woman." Jiang Xue Ning said seriously, "I promise here that no matter who you like, I will do my best to help you get married. When you get married, I will give you a generous dowry, which can be regarded as repaying your life-saving grace."
"Please ask the ladies present to be my witnesses. You can choose any man from Xiangchu. No matter who you choose, I will personally act as your matchmaker."
The expressions of several ladies who had sons of marriageable age changed slightly, and they were all afraid of being picked. After all, the ladies who came today were all from famous families in Xiangchu.
Lin Ran was beautiful and also had a reputation as a talented woman. But in the eyes of these ladies, her style of doing things was too unconventional and she was not a good candidate for a daughter-in-law.
She herself was obviously aware of this, and she suppressed the coldness in her eyes, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. You don't need to worry about my marriage."
"If you still want it, you're welcome. I love beautiful women the most."
The two men had a brief exchange, and the ladies sensed something was wrong and quickly stood up to leave.
The noisy room suddenly became quiet. Lin Ran then raised his eyes and looked at her dimly, and said firmly, "Does the prince hate me?"
She stretched out her hand and pushed open the window to get some fresh air. She said calmly, "Miss Lin, you are joking. I don't usually hate anyone or like anyone easily."
It was obviously a perfunctory remark, so Lin Ran didn't say anything more and just said softly, "I understand."
"Take good care of your injuries. If you need anything, tell Qinghe."
Jiang Xue Ning left after saying this, and she let Lin Ran and Xiang Chu choose any man they wanted, so naturally the news that she was in charge spread.
The outside world had different reactions. After hearing them, Ye Zhuo hurried back.
As soon as he entered, Nanny Zhang automatically closed the door and stood guard at the door herself.
"Are you so eager to get married?"
He grabbed Lin Ran's wrist and questioned her. Lin Ran sighed and sneered softly, "I said I won't get married. Men are not good people."
"Am I not a good person either?" Ye Zhuo said angrily.
Lin Ran reached out and touched his face, chuckling and coaxing, "You are not another man, you are a younger brother."
Ye Zhuo's anger subsided a little, and he snorted coldly, "It's all because of that woman meddling in other people's business."
"Shh!" Lin Ran blocked her lips with his middle finger, "That's the prince."
Ye Zhuo grabbed her hand and said seriously, "Don't waste your time. I don't like her. I won't marry her anyway. I don't want a vicious woman like her."
"You have grown up." Lin Ran smiled with a hint of coldness, "Go back, this is the palace, you are an outsider and it is not appropriate for you to stay for long."
"You come back with me."
"I'll go back when my wound heals a little."
The two looked at each other, and Ye Zhuo was finally defeated by her cold eyes.
He left unwillingly. Lin Ran said coldly, "He's a waste, and he doesn't like him. He thinks others like him!"
Aunt Zhang was obviously used to it. She flipped through the book like she was turning her face. She could only advise, "The young master is still young. You can teach him slowly."
Lin Ran said tiredly, "He's not as good as his gigolo father, at least he's ruthless."
Ye Zhuo's father was a son-in-law who came to live with his wife. After Madam Ye died, before her body was cold, he brought back his true love and son who were hiding outside.
If she hadn't been so ruthless, the Ye family might have been wiped out by now.
Nanny Zhang naturally knew how difficult it was for her and sighed, "It seems that the method of gaining the favor of the King of Xiang by saving his life has worked. The young master is also very resistant. What should we do next?"
Jiang Xue Ning does not follow any routine in handling things, and she obviously does not think love is important. She is also very ruthless.
She said irritably, "Ye Zhuo can't handle a woman like the King of Xiang. It's almost impossible to control her through marriage."
She said angrily, "If I were a man, I would do it myself."
Unfortunately, she is not, and she doesn't want to let go of this piece of fat meat. The power of the Ye family is not enough for her, so she has been looking for opportunities to support Ye Zhuo to go further.
Or maybe her background was too low, which limited her performance. Otherwise, she had the confidence to not lose to anyone.
She whispered, "If it doesn't work, we'll have to use that trick."
After all, it was that trick she used to force Ye Zhuo's father and his lover to turn against each other, and eventually they both died.
Nanny Zhang said worriedly, "This princess and the people around her are not easy to fool. If we use that trick and someone notices something is wrong, it will probably not end well."
With this person's methods, once they are discovered, they will probably be doomed. Aunt Zhang felt that it was too risky to use that trick.
"I know the consequences of failure." Lin Ran smiled bitterly, "It's just that I've been waiting for so many years, I really can't bear it anymore."
She urgently needed to use Jiang Xue Ning's power to seek revenge, but she didn't have many options.
She said somewhat dejectedly, "Mammy, tell me, why is it so difficult for a woman to make a name for herself in this world?"
Nanny Zhang naturally felt sorry for her and could only advise her, "Everything will be fine."
She glanced at the bright spring light outside the window and murmured, "Will it really get better?"
