Chapter 336 The couple who are so angry that they want to kill themselves
Coincidentally, a few days after Liang Zhi's death, it was the first birthday party of the third prince's legitimate son.
Although it was just a child's first birthday party, the Third Prince still made a big fuss about it.
Lu Jiangnian was also among the invited guests.
In the past, he might not have gone back.
But this time, there is no way he will be absent.
-
There were carriages and horses like dragons in front of the Third Prince's Mansion, and guards in crimson formal attire stood on both sides of the vermilion lacquered gate.
Lu Jiangnian helped Yuan Wanru get off the carriage. The summer sun shone on Yuan Wanru's golden phoenix hairpin, creating a dazzling halo.
"My lady, you must perform well in today's scene."
Lu Jiangnian whispered, and gently pinched Yuan Wanru's wrist with his fingers.
Yuan Wanru raised the corners of her lips slightly, a faint smile flashing in her eyes: "Husband, don't worry, I will make sure that the Second Prince will never forget the humiliation he suffered today."
The two smiled at each other and then separated.
Lu Jiangnian went to the main hall, while Yuan Wanru followed the maid leading the way to the back garden where the female members of the family were.
In the main hall, the third prince, dressed in a crimson brocade robe, accepted congratulations while holding his legitimate son in his arms.
The baby wore a golden lock around his neck and a red string around his wrist, and babbled in his father's arms.
Who would have thought that a while ago, the third prince was assassinated and asked Zhazha to seek justice from the emperor.
"Lord Lu has arrived..."
As the names were being called out, Lu Jiangnian stepped forward steadily, bowed, and said, "Congratulations, Third Prince."
The Third Prince smiled broadly: "Lu Jiangnian, you came early, which is very thoughtful of you."
He glanced around and then muttered quietly, "Second brother hasn't arrived yet."
-
At the same time, in the pavilion in the back garden, the third prince's wife was surrounded by a group of noble ladies.
Seeing Yuan Wanru, the Third Prince's wife smiled and said, "Madam, your dress is truly unique. I'm afraid the material is the new brocade from Jiangnan."
Someone nearby looked at Yuan Wanru's dress with envy.
Yuan Wanru smiled faintly: "The princess has good eyesight."
The casual greetings were not a problem for Yuan Wanru, and she soon got to know everyone around her.
The Second Prince's wife arrived late.
When the Third Prince's wife saw the Second Prince's wife, she asked with concern, "There's a black spot under the Emperor's eyes. What happened?"
The Second Prince's wife forced a smile and said, "You must be mistaken. I look fine."
She had clearly covered it up with powder before she went out, but the Third Prince's wife insisted on revealing it.
Everyone thought that the Second Prince's wife was sad because of Liang Zhi's matter.
Yuan Wanru suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, it seems that the princess knows about the second prince's affairs."
This one sentence caused everyone's eyes to fall on her.
The Second Prince's wife felt a tightness in her heart. Something was really wrong with the Second Prince recently. Every day he either went to Concubine Liao's room or stayed in his own bedroom. He had never set foot in her room.
They clearly agreed to try their best to have a legitimate son, so why did he suddenly change his mind?
Still doting on Liao so much?
She had a quarrel with him last night but didn't ask anything.
However, Yuan Wanru was in an enemy position towards them, and when the Second Prince's wife heard her mention the Second Prince, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Haha, what could possibly happen to the Second Prince? Yuanshi, you are a woman in the boudoir, how can you talk about other men?"
"Besides, the Second Prince is the son and grandson of the emperor. We should not make irresponsible remarks about him in private."
"Don't mistake this place for your Lu Mansion."
As she spoke, the Second Prince's wife started to act arrogantly and domineeringly.
Yuan Wanru clicked her tongue and shook her head. "I meant well and wanted to remind the Second Prince's wife to pay attention to his health. Since you don't appreciate it, I won't say anything."
Everyone's appetite was whetted by her, but they didn't dare to ask any further questions.
The Third Prince's wife was not afraid. She said with concern, "From the tone of Mrs. Lu, could it be that something is wrong with my second brother's health?"
"Sister-in-law, matters concerning the body cannot be taken lightly. You'd better listen to what Madam Lu has to say."
The Second Prince's wife forced a smile and was about to refuse, but Yuan Wanru did not give her the chance.
"Isn't it that something serious happened to the Second Prince's health? I dare not say such nonsense."
"Second Prince Consort, are you aware that the Second Prince secretly sought out several doctors to see him a while ago?"
The Second Prince’s wife really didn’t know that such a thing existed.
She knew that she shouldn't believe Yuan Wanru.
However, during this period of time, the Second Prince did seem unwell. Could it be that there was something wrong with his health?
The Third Prince's wife was even more anxious than she was. "How could this happen? Why didn't Second Prince find the imperial physician?"
"Could it be that even the imperial physician can't cure it?"
"Is it really that serious?"
"Second sister-in-law, what should we do?"
This series of questions made the Second Prince's wife's mind confused.
Yuan Wanru took the opportunity to say, "I'm afraid the Second Prince doesn't want the imperial physician to know about this."
"After all, I heard that the Second Prince was not good in bed and was unable to do anything, so he asked a common doctor to help him. I heard that the doctor he asked that day was helpless."
After saying this, she looked at the Second Prince's wife with a very sympathetic look.
The Second Prince's wife immediately regained consciousness and loudly rebuked, "How dare you, Yuan Wanru, say such words? Do you have any sense of shame?"
"How dare you slander the Second Prince? How audacious! Does the Lu family still have any respect for others?"
"I……"
Yuan Wanru immediately burst into tears: "Princess of the Third Prince, you have to make the decision for me!"
"I only said these words because you asked me to."
"Besides, what I said was what the doctor who treated the Second Prince said that day. I didn't make it up. If the Second Prince's wife doesn't believe it, you can call the doctor here now and we can confront each other."
"I swear, I have no intention of belittling or slandering the Second Prince. I am simply telling the truth. I don't want you to be kept in the dark and harm the Second Prince's health."
"I just mean well, you scare me like that."
"Third Prince's Consort, I'm going back now. I don't dare stay any longer. I'm afraid the Second Prince's Consort will eat me later."
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect to hear such explosive gossip.
The key is, they don’t want to hear such secrets!
But it cannot be denied that there was an exclamation mark in everyone's heart: the second prince, who is so young, is actually impotent. How tragic!
At the same time, everyone looked at the Second Prince's wife with sympathy.
The second prince's wife, who is so young, is going to be a widow, which is so tragic!
After hearing enough gossip, no one dared to plead for Yuan Wanru. After all, no one wanted to be involved in these disputes.
The Third Prince's wife immediately pulled Yuan Wanru, who was about to leave, and said, "Madam, please stay. You are our guest, and the banquet hasn't even started yet. How can you leave?"
"You are so sure of what you said, it must be true. I just can't believe it..."
She turned around to look at the Second Prince's wife, whose face was ashen and she was almost fainting from anger, and gently advised her, "Sister-in-law, it is absolutely unacceptable to hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor. You don't even have a son yet, so this is a matter of great importance. We can't delay it, and we need to make plans early."
"As for Madam Lu, she's very outspoken. Please don't argue with her. You've even scared her to tears."
The Second Prince's wife wished she could scratch Yuan Wanru's soft and weak face.
After so many secret dealings with her, how could she not know that Yuan Wanru was a ruthless character?
She didn't dare to tell Yuan Wanru whether what she said was true or false. She couldn't stay in this place anymore.
"Humph, since you insist on protecting her, then I'm leaving!"
"If I hear any rumors outside, don't blame us for being ruthless."
The Second Prince's wife gave everyone a threatening look and hurried away.
She was in a state of confusion and had to see the second prince immediately to ask him whether what Yuan Wanru said was true.
