Chapter 233 Did Nothing
Although Xie Run was favored, she had always lived a secluded life. Wan Linlang had little contact with her and naturally didn't know her well enough.
Usually, we can only judge her temperament through her behavior.
But Xie Run had done something out of the ordinary. One was running to the study in the front yard to seek favor, and the other was running to the backyard and Songya Courtyard to take revenge on Jiang Baobao, who was then a concubine.
Wan Linlang knew that Concubine Xie was definitely not as gentle and kind as she appeared.
Suiyu asked softly, "Master, do you think Master Xie would be willing to cooperate with us?"
Wan Linlang walked slowly, "I don't know."
The last time I came to Chunshanyuan to test it out, I still couldn’t figure out Xie Run’s personality.
Suiyu asked in confusion, "Then Master, will you... continue to come to Chunshan Courtyard?"
"Come on." Wan Linlang said with a smile, "Whether she is willing or not is her business, whether I come or not is my business."
"I know it well."
If Xie Run is willing to cooperate with her, that would be the best. If not, it would not delay Wan Linlang's plan.
She is not stupid. It would be ridiculous for her to pin her hopes on Xie Run.
When they met two maids on the road, they carefully bowed to Wan Linlang and then hurried away as if they had seen something scary.
There were many such scenes along the way.
Suiyu was furious, "Master, what are these people looking at?!"
Wan Linlang's expression remained calm as she shouted, "Suiyu, shut up!"
Only after returning to Xiuyue Pavilion did Suiyu dare to feel wronged.
"It's all because of those rumors in the mansion!"
"You wholeheartedly protected Concubine Lian and her baby. I don't know how much hardship you endured, how many swords and arrows you blocked for Concubine Lian. Yet, no one appreciated your contributions. Instead, they all slandered Concubine Lian, saying that you were the one who harmed her... Is it because you wanted to raise the Sixth Young Master?!"
"But who among the other people in the mansion is easy to get along with? Even the concubine died in childbirth, and the Sixth Young Master will have to be raised by someone else. Who is more suitable to raise the Sixth Young Master than you?!"
"If you keep the Sixth Young Master, it will be good for him, and even better for Concubine Lian!"
Suiyu felt sorry for her master. "Without any evidence, they've pinned all the charges on you. How can anyone be so bullied in this world?"
"It seems the prince also believed these rumors and hasn't come to your courtyard for a long time."
Wan Linlang: "What are you upset about? Shouldn't you be used to it by now?"
Ever since she came to the palace, her reputation has never been good.
Fang Yuaner suppressed and tortured Wan Linlang several times, forcing her to be a concubine and making it difficult for her to turn over.
Now I’m afraid that these rumors were also secretly fanned by people sent by Fang Yuaner.
As for King Jing not coming to her yard... haha.
Wan Linlang smiled sarcastically. In this life, King Jing had only come to her yard a few times.
It was all because of her stupidity, she was blinded by the glory and grace of her previous life.
Now that I have been treated coldly for almost two years, I have finally seen through everything.
It was said that she wanted Concubine Lian's child, so she treated Concubine Lian nicely on purpose, and then made Concubine Lian have a difficult delivery so that she could adopt Concubine Lian's child.
Why would she harm others when she could use gentle means?
Everything that is done in this world will inevitably leave traces.
If she interferes with Concubine Lian's childbirth, whether she can support the Sixth Young Master is one thing, but if she is found out, King Jing will definitely not spare her life!
When a woman gives birth, she is on the verge of death. Concubine Lian gave birth prematurely, which made the danger even greater.
Why would she do something stupid at a time like this?
King Jing is not blind. As long as he can trace any clues about what happened in the backyard, the culprit will be in trouble.
Fortunately, Fang Yuaner had set up a series of traps to frame her.
But after waiting for more than half a year, King Jing never punished her. It was obvious that he had found some evidence and he already had some guesses in his mind.
Look at how proud Fang Yuaner is now.
Several lives are at stake in the cassava flour incident. If it blows up, she will be left with no place to bury her body!
Ever since the cassava flour incident, Wan Linlang has become much smarter and will not act rashly.
The death of Concubine Lian was indeed somewhat related to her.
But the key is not what she did, but what she did not do!
She was a female doctor and was very sensitive to the smell of various medicines. She had long smelled the fragrance of lilies on clothes and bedding, but she had never reminded anyone.
Everything in the delivery room has been prepared long ago, and no one will check it carefully until the day of delivery.
Wan Linlang knew that there was a problem, but she did not urge the maidservants around Concubine Lian to search every inch.
Seeing that they could be lazy, the maids naturally wished to do less.
Her disregard and connivance gave the culprit an opportunity to take advantage of and kill Concubine Lian.
But what did she do wrong?!
She was not the one who wanted to harm anyone, and she had no obligation to advise Concubine Lian on everything, nor was she obligated to be her nanny, watching over the maids and old women to make sure they did their work carefully every day!
If she was wrong, then the princess was not good at managing the palace and allowed people to take advantage of it. Isn't that a big mistake?
The other people in the mansion knew that she had "evil intentions", but they just watched the show from the sidelines and never gave Concubine Lian any advice. Wasn't that also their fault?
Wan Linlang was not at all convinced about this matter.
But it was no use for her to be dissatisfied.
The death of Concubine Lian was exaggerated by Fang Yuaner and spread secretly, directly putting the blame on her.
Wan Linlang knew she couldn't refute it, so she just remained calm.
After all, her situation was already this bad, and it couldn't get any worse... unless she was no longer herself.
The only good thing was that King Jing was very perceptive and did not blame her for the incident.
However, King Jing had always refused to let Wan Linlang support the Sixth Young Master, and Wan Linlang had secretly resented this for a long time.
For a moment, she had no better idea.
The master and servant chatted for a while before they relieved some of the depression in their chests.
Wan Linlang calmed down before asking another question, "I asked you to secretly deliver some food to Concubine Jiang. Did you send someone to do it?"
Suiyu nodded quickly. "The old nun in the small Buddhist temple is very strict. Concubine Jiang can only eat some porridge and vegetables every day. The rest of the time she is locked up in the temple copying scriptures. You secretly asked the servants to bring her food. She ate it happily and said she would remember your kindness."
Wan Linlang chuckled, and there was a hint of contempt and ridicule in her smile.
"Remembering love?" Wan Linlang said: "She is so arrogant that she never takes us concubines seriously. Now these words are just casual remarks."
"Now that she's imprisoned in the small Buddhist temple, her life is difficult. She only speaks softly when she needs help. Once she's released from the small Buddhist temple, I'm afraid she'll regard the fact that you and I helped her today as an insult and keep silent about it. I'm afraid she'll even try to taunt us and make us shut up."
Suiyu opened her mouth and said, "This... can't be true?"
Wan Linlang sneered, "Jiang Baobao has always been like this. I've experienced this a long time ago."
He had stolen her prescription for treating the epidemic and sent her away with some silver.
If she dared to mention her achievements, she would surely be whipped.
