Chapter 439 You Can Just Find a Place to Kill Yourself
"Yier, when did you come?" Concubine Cheng was a little surprised when she saw Xiao Yi coming out.
"Before Yang Manman came over." Xiao Yi was not wearing red clothes today, but a dark blue round-necked robe. He looked less playful and unruly than usual.
Concubine Cheng raised her eyebrows, "Yang Manman, this idiot, almost threw me out, and she even had the nerve to ask for a reward in front of me. Yi'er, mother really doesn't understand why you think Yang Manman is useful?"
Xiao Yi sat down on a chair beside him with a smile on his lips. The playfulness from before had returned a lot, but that smile was filled with a depth and calculation that was rarely seen in the past.
"Although Yang Manman is stupid, she has good luck. Maybe she can beat the master to death with her random punches."
"Lucky?" Concubine Cheng frowned slightly. "I don't see how lucky she is. She has no family support, and her reputation is notorious. Now she has offended Concubine Shu. The Queen probably doesn't like her very much. She will definitely have a hard time in this palace from now on."
"But she is still a seventh-rank court lady." Xiao Yi looked at his mother. "The stupid things she did would have crushed anyone if they had happened to her. But apart from her bad reputation, she always managed to survive. When she was in jail, her third brother asked her son for help. When she failed the court lady assessment, she could report her father and gain a reputation for sacrificing her own father for the sake of justice..."
Xiao Yi tilted his head slightly, "Isn't this considered good luck?"
Concubine Cheng listened to her son's words and thought for a while, "Even if it's like you said, she is lucky, but luck alone is not enough in the harem. Compared with Yang Manman, I think Jiang Suining is more reliable. If we can use her, we will definitely get more help. Moreover, Shen Yanxi is now in the limelight in the previous dynasty. Not only is he trusted by the emperor, but he also seems to be in a position to be promoted again. If we can win over Jiang Suining, it will be easier for Shen Yanxi to turn to us."
Ever since Shen Yanxi entered the officialdom, she has always sent people to keep a close eye on the other party. There is no weakness that can be exploited. If she had to say one, it would probably be Jiang Suining.
After all, he was still young and didn't know that love could lead to misfortune. In order to marry a merchant's daughter, he even went so far as to ask the emperor for permission in person, and so easily gave up the help that marrying a wife could bring.
But this also shows that Jiang Suining is very important in Shen Yanxi's heart. If they want Shen Yanxi to work for them, Jiang Suining is definitely a good entry point.
"Don't think about it, mother. I have never thought of winning over Shen Yanxi." Xiao Yi refused flatly.
"Why?" Concubine Cheng was puzzled.
"If it weren't for Shen Yanxi and Jiang Suining, my third brother wouldn't be imprisoned in the palace right now. There is absolutely no possibility of any cooperation between me and them."
"Yier, mother knows that you have had a good relationship with Xiao Ling since childhood, but now..."
"Don't say anything, mother. I know what you want to say, but I don't want to."
Seeing the rare determination on her son's face, Concubine Cheng felt helpless, but for the time being she could only swallow her words of persuasion.
Because of the preparations for Concubine Shu's birthday banquet during this period, most of the rest days previously scheduled were also busy.
On the second day, after Jiang Suining and the others had finished finishing their affairs, Queen Shi specifically ordered them to take a three-day break and return home to have a good rest.
Everyone has been on high alert for a while now, worried about what might happen at the birthday party. Now that they can have a day off, they are naturally happy.
But there are exceptions.
The money Yang Manman had left could only last for one or two days at most. A day off naturally meant she would have to pay extra for lunch. Besides, she had nowhere to go now, so after finishing her shift every day, she would go to the inn to rest. The small room was not as comfortable as staying in the palace.
What's more, Xiu Mu stayed outside the palace all day, which made it easier for him to get into trouble with Wang and others.
Yang Manman frowned and walked out of the palace reluctantly.
At a glance, he saw Shen Yanxi standing next to the carriage at the palace gate to pick up Jiang Suining.
He Qingrui, Lu Yan and the others also saw it, stepped forward to pay their respects, and then smiled and joked a few words.
"Lord Shen is so kind to Sui Ningke. I really envy him."
"Yes, I heard that you two are going to get married soon. I wonder if we will have the honor to go and have a drink at the wedding."
"If you are willing to honor us with your presence, you would be most welcome." Shen Yanxi said with a smile, glancing sideways at Jiang Suining, his eyes filled with smiles.
It will soon be the beginning of winter.
Jiang Suining also had a smile on his face, looking at Lu Yan, He Qingrui, Wei Yao and the others, "Don't joke around here, I will definitely deliver the invitation to you personally when the time comes."
"How could a bride deliver the invitation personally? As long as we can go in, we will be very happy." Lu Yan said with a smile.
"That's right." He Qingrui responded immediately.
Wei Yao smiled when she saw this and congratulated Jiang Suining!
When the atmosphere was just right, Yang Manman walked by and snorted coldly, "What a disgrace."
"Yang Manman, what do you mean by this!" He Qingrui frowned and spoke immediately.
Yang Manman stopped and looked at them. "Did I say anything wrong? Since you are going to get married, why don't you stay at home and embroider your wedding dress? Instead, you have to run out and show your face. Isn't that embarrassing?"
“Yang Manman, I think you are just jealous!” He Qingrui looked at Yang Manman with disgust. “Even Lord Shen and the Shen family didn’t say anything, so what right do you have to gossip about it here!”
"I'm just telling the truth. Why? Do I have to flatter you like you guys and not even tell the truth?"
"So this is what Miss Yang really thinks." Jiang Suining looked at her, "Then why did you always look down on those women who stayed at home playing the piano and embroidering?"
Jiang Suining's words immediately reminded Lu Yan and the others.
"That's right, we haven't forgotten what you said before. It seems that you were just trying to attract attention before." He Qingrui said sarcastically.
"It's not just to attract attention, you probably also want to show how special you are. Now it seems you can't pretend anymore. But it's also true that with the way you are now, even if you say something shocking or are unique, I'm afraid no one will want to have anything to do with you." Lu Yan bluntly hit Yang Manman's sore spot.
Yang Manman looked at them hatefully, her teeth chattering.
One of the most uncomfortable things for her now is that the people who used to surround her are now avoiding her, and she doesn't even know who to turn to if she wants to ask for help.
But on this matter, she had no way to refute it for the moment, and could only instigate Shen Yanxi in a sarcastic tone.
"Master Shen, I want to remind you that women are often the most able to see clearly about other women. Jiang Suining is definitely not a good person. You should open your eyes and take a good look at her. Don't be deceived by her appearance, or you will regret it after marrying her."
Damn it, she still felt angry when she thought about it now. She had tried to show her goodwill to Shen Yanxi several times before, but was always ignored. And the other party just fell for Jiang Suining. He was really blind!
Lu Yan frowned and was about to refute, but was stopped by Shen Yanxi, who spoke.
"Miss Yang, what you said is a bit biased. Who says only women can see clearly about women? I can see clearly about Miss Yang. Not only do you like to meddle in other people's affairs, but you are also stupid and sharp-tongued. I will stay away from women like you."
"you……"
"As for Ningning, I am lucky to marry her. If Miss Yang is jealous, she can just find a place to kill herself. In consideration of the Yang family's past contributions, I will notify your mother and sister to collect your body. Of course... as to whether they are willing, there is no guarantee."
