Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 337 – Ji Youran Was Provoked

Chapter 337 Ji Youran Was Provoked

When Qu Moying turned around, there were not so many people on the road. Many people had already gone home. She was not far from Yue’s Clothing Pavilion. She only needed to pass two streets. When she reached the street where Yue’s Clothing Pavilion was located, she saw that it was livelier than elsewhere.

Many people were talking about Yue’s Clothing Pavilion’s embroidery as they walked. It was said that the embroidery was extremely beautiful. Although many people did not get it, they had heard of it and wanted to have a look.

A few young ladies walked by. They were talking about Yue’s Clothing Pavilion’s five-color brocade happily. They all praised it for its beauty and said that they wanted to buy a set of clothes made of it.

It was obvious that the opening ceremony this time was extremely successful.

Yue’s Clothing Pavilion and Yue’s Gold Pavilion set the stage together. It was late now, so it was not lively around the stage, but the business of the two shops was just right. Many customers were entering the shops.

Qu Moying walked into Yue’s Clothing Pavilion with Yu Dong.

As soon as she entered, she saw a lot of women inside. There were also some men accompanying the women. The shop assistants brought customers to pay the bill from time to time. The business was very good.

Qu Moying was very satisfied with what she saw. She nodded and was about to walk around casually. She thought there was no need to inform Aunt Yang. But then, she saw a person coming over. Her eyes flashed slightly, and she stopped walking. She gave Yu Dong a look. Yu Dong understood and went to find Aunt Yang.

Standing in the corner of the shop, Qu Moying looked coldly at Ji Youran, who was surrounded by several maids. Ji Youran was walking over in a gorgeous dress. She dressed differently from the plain dress she used to wear when she was unmarried. There was embroidery of butterflies flying in beautiful bouquets on her dress.

She remembered that Ji Youran had liked plain dresses before. Ji Youran once said that she preferred the elegant bamboo to Love of Butterfly. What she said before and what she was wearing now made the thing really ironic.

The embroidery on Ji Youran’s dress was Love of Butterfly. The hairpin on her hair was in the shape of a butterfly. The handkerchief in her hand also had butterflies and flowers embroidered on it. There were also butterflies embroidered on her hemline.

Qu Moying didn’t know whether she really didn’t like it or she didn’t like it before but liked it now. Ji Youran didn’t look like herself. She was in an awkward situation.

Ji Youran should be really anxious now…

Ji Youran did not look good. Standing outside the shop, she took a look at the shop and pressed her forehead hard with her hand.

Just now, she went to Yue’s Gold Pavilion nearby. She planned to make some trouble for the shop in secret to make things difficult for it on its opening day. She did not expect that Madam Duan would change the time of the opening ceremony and the troupe she hired. Madam Duan even held the opening ceremony together with Yue’s Clothing Pavilion. Both shops were popular now.

Aunt Yang walked over to Ji Youran with two shop assistants and said with a smile, “Madam, please sit inside.”

Ji Youran nodded and followed Aunt Yang upstairs. Her status was noble, so she naturally could not squeeze with others.

There were private rooms upstairs. Ji Youran followed Aunt Yang into one of the rooms. After Ji Youran sat down, a shop assistant served her tea. Aunt Yang asked with a smile, “Madam, what do you need?”

Xie Feng took a step forward and asked arrogantly, “What do you have here?”

“Our store has brocade, ready-made clothes, and items with embroidery like handkerchiefs. What do you like, Madam? I will get someone to fetch some for you to choose.” Aunt Yang said with a smile. She looked very friendly and had a glib tongue.

Xie Feng looked at Ji Youran’s expression and knew that she wanted to have a look, so she said, “Bring a few of each item here. Pick good ones. If they are not good ones, our madam won’t even cast a look at them.”

“Yes, I’ll get someone to bring some items over now.” Aunt Yang was quite easy-going. She smiled and left with the two shop assistants.

In the private room, Ji Youran’s face darkened.

Xie Feng said fawningly, “Your Grace, you can pick some good ones back later. His Highness will finish his work soon. Maybe he can accompany you out for a walk!”

In the past few days, she seemed to have been out of favor again. The Crown Prince had not summoned her, which made her feel both terrified and anxious. She began to curry favor with Ji Youran even more.

Today, Ji Youran originally wanted Pei Luo’an to accompany her, but Pei Luo’an sent people to tell her that he had something to do and could not go out. He asked her to go out to play by herself.

Ji Youran could only come out without his company in frustration!

In the past years, Pei Luo’an had always been free to accompany Ji Hanyue. At that time, she was envious. She hoped that she could have Pei Luo’an’s company for herself. She didn’t want to follow him and Ji Hanyue and watch him being so attentive to Ji Hanyue from behind.

Last year, she was driven mad with jealousy. She had already had sex with Pei Luo’an, but he still accompanied Ji Hanyue but not her!

Now, Pei Luo’an still couldn’t accompany her because he had something to do. He could openly accompany her now, but he left her alone because he had something to do.

How could Ji Youran be happy?

“The Crown Prince was accompanying County Lady Jingyu?” A woman’s surprised voice suddenly came from the next room.

Her voice was not loud, but she was in the next room, and Ji Youran’s room was quiet at this time, so Ji Youran immediately heard her clearly.

Not only Ji Youran, but even Xie Feng’s eyes widened.

“Yes, the Crown Prince was with County Lady Jingyu. County Lady Jingyu was in a cloak. But just now, a person bumped into County Lady Jingyu. When County Lady Jingyu fell down, I saw clearly that the Crown Prince was very distressed. He hurriedly went to help her up. They should be getting married soon.”

It was another woman’s voice.

The first woman asked doubtfully, “It can’t be. I heard that the Crown Prince was affectionate to the ex-Crown Princess… He has no intention of marrying again now!”

“The ex-Crown Princess has passed away, and the Crown Prince could do nothing about this. From the way the Crown Prince looked at County Lay Jingyu, I could tell he cared a lot about her. County Lady Jingyu has a noble status and a good family background. Moreover, the Crown Prince likes her. If she enters Eastern Palace in the future, all the other concubines and Side Princess will have to step aside.”

The other woman said proudly. She seemed to be standing on County Lady Jingyu’s side.

Ji Youran almost tore the handkerchief in her hand. Her eyes were burning with anger. No wonder the Crown Prince said that he had something to do today. It turned out that he went to accompany Liu Jingyu.

She had long set her eyes on the position of Crown Princess. In order to be the Crown Princess, she killed Ji Hanyuan. But what was going on now? Was Liu Jingyu going to take over the position?

How could she deserve it?

The women in the next room were still talking. The second woman said, “Don’t doubt it. Did you see the Sea of Lanterns was on fire just now? The Love Lanterns that the Crown Prince and County Lady Jingyu hung were also burned. After the fire was extinguished, their lanterns were placed aside. If you don’t believe it, you could go and see!”

The first woman asked doubtfully, “Are there lanterns still there?”

“Of course they are. Love Lanterns could only place there to make a couple’s love last long. Those women of Crown Prince’s Mansion are miserable. After such a distinguished and noble lady who has won the Crown Prince’s heart becomes the Crown Princess, their positions will be meaningless.”

The second woman’s words were full of sarcasm. She said those women’s positions would be meaningless, which meant that whether it was Side Princess, a normal concubine, or a bedroom maid, they would not be doted on, so their positions would all be the same. They would all be the women who were out of favor, and they would have to rely on the future Crown Princess!

Hearing this, Ji Youran couldn’t stand it anymore. She gritted her teeth and suddenly stood up.

“Your Grace!” Xie Feng was shocked.

“Let’s go!” Ji Youran couldn’t sit still for a moment. Her heart was burning with hatred. If Liu Jingyu really married into Eastern Palace, then she would be the Crown Princess and have a dominant position over her. Ji Youran couldn’t bear it!

Back then, the Crown Prince had clearly hinted to her that the position of Crown Princess would belong to her in the future. Why did Liu Jingyu appear? Did the Crown Prince lie to her?

She wanted to see where Love Lanterns were. She wanted to confirm whether the Crown Prince and Liu Jingyu’s Love Lanterns were there.

Xie Feng still wanted to say something, but seeing that Ji Youran was walking out, she could only follow her out. When she walked to the door, she saw Aunt Yang and two shop assistants with a lot of cloth and embroidery items in their hands. They almost bumped into each other. Aunt Yang hurriedly dodged to the side.

Without saying anything, Xie Feng pushed her and walked away.

Seeing Ji Youran leave, Aunt Yang quietly let the shop assistants put the things back where they were. She glanced at the private room on the side but did not go in. She turned around and left.

Just now, Yu Dong sent a message asking her to bring Princess Ji to this private room. As for what to do after Ji Youran entered the private room, Yu Dong told her to do whatever she liked. He told Aunt Yang that she didn’t have to enter the other private room after that in case others saw her.

Aunt Yang went to work. She was indeed busy today, but she was also happy. Although she had been busy all the time, the business was so good that it was beyond her expectations. Aunt Yang felt that even if she was busy for another day, she would still be energetic. The matter with Princess Ji just now was only a small episode. Moreover, it was not her who took care of it. It was fine as long as Qu Moying was here.

“Lady, does Princess Ji believe what she heard so much?” In the private room, Yu Dong heard the footsteps disappearing in the next room. He listened carefully. When he heard that there was no sound from the next room, he asked Qu Moying cautiously. Just now, he played two roles himself. It was actually him talking to himself.

“Of course. Princess Ji is not stupid, but she did not dare to think too much about it.” Qu Moying smiled coldly and lowered her head slightly. Her eyes under the eye veil were cold. Ji Youran would be crazy when she was about to win the fruit of victory, whereas someone else took it away from her…

Pei Luo’an wanted to marry Liu Jingyu. Even if there was no sign in Eastern Palace, he would not let Ji Youran be the Princess Consort. Ji Hanyue had passed away so long, but Pei Luo’an did not have the slightest intention of letting Ji Youran be the Princess Consort, which would naturally make Ji Youran feel unsure.

Moreover, Earl Ling’an’s Mansion had been in trouble again and again, which was faintly dragging Ji Youran down, and Ji Youran must have realized it.

Qu Moying just lit the fuse for her. As for what would happen next and how serious things would be, Qu Moying could not control. It depended on how Ji Youran and Liu Jingyu were going to fight…

Suddenly, there was a light knock on the door, followed by a voice, “Is the person inside Fourth Lady Qu?”

Qu Moying and Yu Dong were stunned for a moment. Who saw the two of them? Qu Moying nodded at Yu Dong. Yu Dong walked to the door and opened the door…
