Chapter 23: Chapter 23 You’re Actually Curious About a Woman
“A letter? What letter?”
Murong Jiu asked in confusion.
She thought to herself that it was no wonder he had sent the maid away, it turned out he had a private letter for her.
But she couldn’t think of anyone who would entrust him with a letter for her.
“Your master’s letter.”
Jun Yuyan took out a small roll of paper tied up from his sleeve, which must have been just taken off a carrier pigeon.
A letter from her master!
Murong Jiu was filled with joy, and instantly forgot the awkwardness she had felt in front of Jun Yuyan just moments ago.
She took it, opened it, and on the not-so-large piece of paper was her master’s familiar scrawled handwriting.
“Silly girl, your master is going into the mountains to collect herbs. When I return to the capital, I’m going to give you a big surprise.”@@@@
Not many words, but in the tone she knew so well.
She felt a sting in her nose, and tears began to fall.
As a child, life had been hard for her on the manor. With no one to care for her, the servants bullied her, beating and scolding her, so she lived a life even worse than their children. Dogs were fed better than she was. If not for her wretched yet resilient life, she might not know how many times she would have died.
At the age of five, she met her master.
The old man was unkempt, reeking of alcohol, and was lying on the ground, fast asleep.
When she found him, several dogs were gathered around, tugging at something, and she was petrified, thinking a person’s intestines had been torn out by the dogs.
She didn’t know where she found the courage, but she picked up a stick to beat the dogs, fiercely hitting them, and woke the man up.
“Ouch, what’s with this brat? Can’t a man get some peace and sleep!”
The old man sat up, and only then did she realize that it wasn’t intestines, but a woman’s belly band.
Because the old man had several meat buns in his arms that attracted the dogs with their scent.
Latter, those meat buns ended up in her stomach.
And after that, the people who bullied her became fewer and fewer because everyone on the manor “fell ill”.
She had such a good master, but in her last life, she couldn’t see him even once more before she died.
Unexpectedly, not long after her rebirth, Jun Yuyan brought back a letter from her master.
Her master said he was going to give her a surprise.
Did her master go into Lanan’s great mountain for her?
Could it be that, in her past life, her master also went to Lanan?
As a child born in a family like hers, any children she had would also be lowly servants, forever the underlings of the Marquis Mansion, just as her parents were servants and she was fated to be a maid from birth.
To change her fate, she had to make Murong Jiu willing to do anything for the Second Prince.
She must not let her fall for Prince Ling!
She would have to inform the Second Prince that Murong Jiu still had him in her heart; she was just too proud to admit it.
When Zhen Zhu had the opportunity while attending to Murong Jiu, she found a moment to go out and pass the message to a servant boy from the Prince Mansion.
The servant boy also relayed a message to her: “The Second Prince wants you to tell the Princess Consort that it was him that night, he asks if she is pregnant, and to give her this letter.”
Zhen Zhu couldn’t believe it, the Princess Consort pregnant?
No wonder the Princess Consort’s appetite had been poor lately, and she had been somewhat sleepy. Could it be because she was pregnant?
Her first reaction was to take pleasure in the misfortune. So what if she became the Princess Consort? Even if Murong Jiu wanted to be her, there was no going back now. Would Prince Ling want a woman carrying another man’s bastard?
She knew that the man that night was not the Second Prince at all because it was she and Cai Yun who had helped the Second Prince set Murong Jiu up, letting her consort with a strange man.
The Second Prince sending this message to Murong Jiu was merely a ploy to better control her.
“Don’t worry, I will deliver the letter to the Princess Consort.”
Zhen Zhu clutched the letter tightly, looked around to see that no one was watching, and slipped away quietly.
The servant boy wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and suddenly knelt down in the direction behind him: “Prince, I have delivered the message to Zhen Zhu.”
Jun Yuyan and Su Kai emerged from behind the rockery.
Su Kai, fanning himself: “Get up. Continue to pass messages for the Second Prince, act as his spy, but you must report every move to me, got it?”
“I understand, I understand.”
“You may go.”
The servant boy hurriedly took his leave.
“Brother Yan, what are you thinking now?” Su Kai scratched his head, feeling that things were becoming more complicated.
Keeping the servant boy alive was Brother Yan’s idea, but Su Kai really didn’t understand why he would allow the Second Prince to keep in contact with Murong Jiu.
How much Murong Jiu used to like the Second Prince was nearly common knowledge, and even if her feelings had changed now, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t rekindle.
Moreover, Murong Jiu claimed that the child in her womb wasn’t the Second Prince’s, but that was just her word. Whether it could be believed was another issue.
Jun Yuyan said indifferently, “She deliberately lets this maid connect with the Second Prince. I am very curious to see what exactly she intends to do.”
Su Kai clicked his tongue a few times: “Brother Yan, it’s unlike you to be curious about a woman.”
“Shut up.”
Jun Yuyan frowned and turned away.
Su Kai followed nonchalantly: “Hey Brother Yan, don’t get mad!”
