Chapter 115 The road is narrow
Xu Wanrong saw that Wanyue's expression was not right, so she immediately calmed down and said reluctantly, "Haha...haha...I didn't expect that the young lady was going to be engaged to Prince Jing. I was just a little surprised!"
"Really?" Wanyue didn't seem to doubt it after hearing this. She was also shocked when she first found out about it, so she was in a good mood and continued talking.
“Hehehe, I didn’t expect that the young lady would actually marry into the Jing Wang Mansion in the end! The Jing Wang Prince, that’s the husband that countless ladies dream of, but I didn’t expect that in the end it would fall to our young lady!”
Wanyue was very happy when she said this, and was very happy for her young lady. "I also heard that it was Prince Jing who took the initiative to send the portrait here for the young lady to choose from! It's really thoughtful!"
Xu Wanrong looked at Wanyue's dreamy and envious expression and felt very impatient. Prince Jing, Prince Jing, what are you talking about Prince Jing? A little prince in a feudal society, destined to have three wives and four concubines, what's so good about that?
Are you as infatuated as Lin Hai? Can you love someone as deeply as the sea and last till death?
……
Quickly getting rid of the annoying Wanyue, Xu Wanrong went straight to the system and asked, "System, what's going on? Didn't you say that Lin Yuxi would choose Lin Hai? What's going on with that Prince Jing? Where did he come from?"
The system was silent for a moment before slowly speaking:
"This system is only making reasonable deductions based on the information it has. It doesn't mean that Lin Yuxi will definitely choose Lin Hai. The slightest change may prompt Lin Yuxi to make a different choice. This is not surprising!"
"The system has long reminded the host that the future is always full of variables. Host, you need to be prepared to deal with various situations."
Xu Wanrong frowned upon hearing this: "What should we do now? Is there any way to make Lin Yuxi choose Lin Hai again?"
The system suggested calmly: "Host can choose to set the Prince of Jing as the target. The Prince of Jing has higher attribute values. If the host is with him, the reward will be greater..."
Xu Wanrong decisively refused, "No, I want Lin Hai!"
……
Lin Yuxi sat quietly in front of the window of her boudoir. The sunlight outside the window shone on her snow-white skin, adding a bit of soft brilliance to her. She gently turned the teacup in her hand, seeming to be lost in thought.
Wanyue stood aside with her head lowered and her eyes lowered, reporting what had just happened. Although her voice was low, every word was clear, and no detail was missed.
After Lin Yuxi finished listening, her face didn't show much expression, but there was a subtle fluctuation in her eyes. She gently sipped the tea in her hand, and the fragrance of the tea seemed to soothe some of the waves in her heart.
"Wanyue, why do you think Wanrong had that reaction?" Lin Yuxi's voice was calm and deep, like the lake water in autumn, profound in its tranquility.
Wanyue raised her head slightly, glanced at the young lady, then quickly lowered her head and answered carefully:
"Miss, when I just told Sister Wanrong the news that you were going to be engaged to Prince Jing, Sister Wanrong...she seemed a little disappointed, even a little unhappy. I...I guess, she...she might hope that you...you can choose...choose another young master."
"Oh, you're so brave!" Lin Yuxi's face turned cold in an instant, and the gentle glow was instantly replaced by fierceness. She stood up suddenly and put the teacup in her hand heavily on the table, making a crisp collision sound. The tea splashed and dripped onto the embroidered carpet in front of the window, leaving a patch of wet marks.
Seeing this, Wanyue was shocked and quickly knelt down, saying in a trembling voice: "Miss, please calm down. It is my fault for not seeing Sister Wanrong's ambition earlier. Please punish me."
Lin Yuxi took a deep breath and calmed down her emotions. She knew that Xu Wanrong was a time-traveling girl with a child-bearing system, and she had always coveted Lin Hai and wanted to be his woman.
The time-traveling girl is proud and arrogant, and wants to marry an outstanding man. She can understand this thought, but she should never dream of using her as a stepping stone!
Do you regard her as a tool without thoughts or feelings?
Now that she has chosen her family Minghui, she is actually not happy?
Oh, what right does she have to be unhappy here!
Should she praise Xu Wanrong for her steadfastness and for not changing her target just because she found a better partner?
Oh, since she is obsessed with Lin Hai, then she should give her a chance and see if they can achieve the touching love in this life.
"Wanyue, remember, I am the eldest daughter of the Lin family. It is not the servants' turn to dictate my marriage." Lin Yuxi's voice was cold and firm. "No matter who my future husband is, I will not give him up and share him with you!"
Wanyue shuddered with fear. She was used to seeing Lin Yuxi being gentle and virtuous, and she didn't expect that the young lady would speak so harshly today.
Her forehead almost touched the cold floor tiles, and she said terrifiedly, "Miss, I didn't. I know that I am of low status, so how could I dare to have any improper thoughts about your marriage, let alone any thoughts of sharing. Please check it clearly, please check it clearly!"
Lin Yuxi looked at Wanyue's fearful expression, and the anger in her heart subsided a little.
She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Wanyue, get up. You and I have been master and servant for a long time. I know your character very well. I am telling you clearly today where my bottom line is. As long as you serve me sincerely and do your duty well, I can make the decision for you whether you want to leave the house and marry someone else or become a housekeeper! Do you understand?"
Wanyue felt grateful after hearing Lin Yuxi's words. She knew that although the young lady was usually kind to others and had an inviolable dignity and pride, she valued her promises the most in her heart.
She quickly stood up and answered respectfully, "Yes, Miss. I understand. I will serve you wholeheartedly and will never have any second thoughts."
"Well, the little maid below should also knock on the door and go down!" Lin Yuxi waved her hand, signaling Wanyue to retreat.
Wanyue responded and cautiously left the room, secretly thanking her lucky stare that the young lady was not really angry.
After she walked out of the room, she dared to let out the breath she had been holding. The young lady was really scary today! This attitude and this momentum are worthy of being the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion. No wonder she was favored by the Prince of Jing!
However, she also understood the situation today. It was simply because Xu Wanrong's behavior was too over the line and had seriously touched the young lady's bottom line. Maybe the young lady was usually too gentle, so that Wanrong forgot who was the master and the servant between them.
That's why the young lady didn't take into account the friendship they had grown up together and gave her a stern warning this time! Although these words were severe, they were also a disguised reminder and promise to her. As long as they serve the young lady well and don't have those bad thoughts of being concubines or aunts, their future will be good!
Not to mention that their future son-in-law is the prince of Jing. Who can dance in front of them without rank? As the future princess's maid, how can their future be bad?
Sister Wanrong, the road has become narrow!
