Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 108: About the Next Crown Princess

Since Qu Moying didn't seem to agree, Ji Youran had to hold back her rage and stop forcing her. With that faked smile, she asked more about daily life in the Qu's Mansion, especially expressing her anger toward Second Madam Qu while saying that she would help Qu Moying show them justice.

When it came to Yu, Ji Youran indeed was irritated by her.

She didn't care if Yu wanted to scheme her step-daughter or not, but when Ji Youran herself was involved, that became a different story.

Her old wound almost healed before, but now it worsened and kept hurting. The Imperial Doctor said it wouldn't recover soon and could fester. Consequently, the scar would get bigger and harder to entirely remove.

Thinking of her wound, Ji Youran wished she could kill everyone in the Qu Family.

However, with the Crown Prince sitting behind, she needed to hold her temper and patiently build a good relationship with Fourth Lady Qu. Suppressing the anxiety, she squeezed out a more gentle smile.

While she kept trying to show her kindness, Qu Moying had been frigid the whole time. Till the end, their relationship hadn't improved at all.

Ji Youran asked her servants to walk Qu Moying back. After Qu Moying left, Ji Youran walked behind the screen while Pei Luo'an was still sitting there, with a sullen face. He threw a displeased glare at her when she walked in, obviously blaming her for being useless.

"Your Royal Highness, I don't think Fourth Lady Qu likes me." Holding a grievance, Ji Youran curtsied to him and looked at him with those pitiful watery eyes.

Qu Moying became the one to be blamed for the frigid scene within a few words.

"Have a seat first," Pei Luo'an said coldly.

She sat down obediently and then cast a glance at him again, who was deep in thoughts with his head lowered. A guess came across her mind. She said in a soft voice, "Your Royal Highness, do you have any...interest in Fourth Lady Qu? If you do, I won't be opposed."

She said it while totally standing in Pei Luo'an's shoes, not showing any jealousy, anger, or desire to compete for her husband against another woman. Her calmness and elegance perfectly fit the role of a big family's hostess.

"It's not like that. Don't overthink about it." Pei Luo'an shook his head. Since it was about Pei Yuanjun, he didn't want to talk too much about it, even with Ji Youran.

He then stood up and walked outside. After a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned around, "The matter about Xian'er is over. She will stay in the Crown Princess's alter room for the next half yeat to guard her coffin. Don't meddle in it again and cause any other trouble."

Ji Youran was obediently following behind to walk him out. Hearing his words, she immediately answered in a low voice, "Yes, Your Royal Highness."

Meanwhile, hatred was boiling in her heart. If she knew that low-life woman would do things like this, she would've gotten rid of her long ago. She couldn't believe the trap she set for Ming Xian'er became a blessing for her. The Crown Prince's little toy doll somehow managed to climb up and became his real concubine.

Ji Youran wondered who gave her this idea to help her get out of trouble this time.

The Crown Prince's words were a warning but also an insult. For Ji Youran, who whole-heartedly saw herself as the Crown Princess, she couldn't accept this failure. Watching Pei Luo'an leaving, her eyes were filled with maliciousness.

"Your Royal Highness, what should we do now?" standing next to her, Shui Ning asked with caution.

"Send a message to Mother and tell her that we will carry out her plan," Ji Youran's voice was ice cold. Then she turned around to walk inside...
