Chapter 165 Dongfang Zheng's identity is suspicious!
Then, he turned and left, leaving Dongfang Zheng alone, staring blankly at the Crown Prince's departing figure, his face extremely gloomy, as if shrouded in a layer of frost.
At that moment, his heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't calm down for a long time...
Celestial Empire, do you really think you can still call yourself Celestial Empire for a few more years? Go ahead and fight Ye Jiuchen. When you two are both exhausted, that's when we'll close the net!
Dongfang Zheng flicked his sleeves and left!
Several days later, the entire capital was immersed in a festive and peaceful atmosphere, because this day was the Crown Prince's wedding day, and the woman he was to marry was none other than the famous and talented Li Shuyao.
And look at Li Shuyao's dowry, it is truly dazzling and piled up like a mountain, its abundance is astonishing.
The Crown Prince welcomed the beautiful bride into his residence with the highest level of ceremony—an eight-bearer sedan chair.
At this moment, the people in the city were whispering and talking amongst themselves: "Oh my, today is the Crown Prince's big day! It is said that a continuous banquet has been specially prepared, and there are countless delicacies on the table!"
Another person chimed in, "That's right! Let's hurry over and join in the fun!"
As a result, people flocked towards the direction of the Crown Prince's residence.
The Oriental Pearl Tower, however, seemed somewhat uninterested.
Deep down, she didn't want to attend the wedding, but she was worried that after entering the Crown Prince's residence, her brother Jingchu would scold her for not knowing manners, so she had no choice but to suppress her displeasure!
Dongfang Mingzhu thought to herself, "No, I have to find Wanyao. Although I made her clean the courtyard these past few days as a minor punishment, I'm still used to having her serve me. Besides, although Juhua is clever and obedient, she's not as capable as Wanyao."
Thinking of this, Dongfang Mingzhu turned to the maid beside her and ordered, "Go quickly and call Wanyao back to me!"
Not long after, Wan Yao rushed over and immediately knelt down on the ground, bowing her head and saying, "Second Miss..."
Seeing this, Dongfang Mingzhu raised her eyebrows and said sternly, "Wanyao, do you know what mistake you have made?"
Oriental Pearl looked at the medicine!
"Second Miss, I know I was wrong. It's all my fault! Please, have mercy on me this time!"
The maid named Wanyao suddenly knelt on the ground, her face filled with fear and remorse, and repeatedly kowtowed to admit her mistake.
"Hmph, since you know you're wrong, then hurry back. Look at you, what kind of behavior is this! Go and wash up right now!"
Sitting on the couch, Dongfang Mingzhu frowned slightly, looking at the disheveled Wanyao with disgust, and impatiently waved her away.
Oriental Pearl's gaze swept over Wan Yao's clothes, which were covered in dust and stains, and a feeling of disgust welled up in her heart.
This girl is usually quite clever, so why is she so reckless today, getting herself all dirty? It really does her a disgrace to the Second Miss.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Mingzhu quickly turned her head away, unwilling to look at Wanyao again, and only wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.
Just then, a figure rushed out of the house, calling out, "Sister Wanyao!" It turned out to be Juhua, another maid who was with Dongfang Mingzhu.
"What are you doing here? Could it be that you've now become the Second Miss's favorite and have come here specifically to mock my downfall?"
Wan Yao suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with anger and resentment, and said in a sharp tone.
Seeing this, Chrysanthemum quickly stepped forward, grabbed the hand holding the medicine, and explained!
"Sister Wanyao, please don't misunderstand! How could I laugh at you? These past few days, the Second Miss has rewarded me with many beautiful clothes and fine fabrics, which I've been saving for you. Come with me into the house and pick out a few pieces; we need to dress up nicely today!"
As he spoke, he pulled Wanyao into the house.
Wan Yao frowned deeply, her eyes revealing a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction!
"Chrysanthemum, why are you acting this way? Logically speaking, now that I have returned, you should be even more vigilant to prevent me from taking your place!"
Her voice rose slightly, carrying a hint of accusation.
After carefully glancing around, Chrysanthemum lowered her voice and said, "Sister Wanyao, I know perfectly well the reasons why you were punished by the Second Miss..." She paused, seemingly choosing her words carefully.
"This is absolutely not your fault. It was clearly the second young lady who vented her anger on you for no reason. After all, we are both lowly servants, so how could I not understand your feelings at this moment?"
Chrysanthemum spoke earnestly and sincerely, trying to make Wanyao understand her position.
As Chrysanthemum spoke eloquently, Wanyao listened silently, a gentle ripple stirring within her heart.
She never expected that in this deceitful and scheming environment, there would be someone as sincere as Chrysanthemum.
“Sister Chrysanthemum, thank you for your comfort and support. Since I was punished by the Second Miss to sweep the courtyard, everyone around me has changed beyond recognition. They all speak coldly to me and mock me in every way, but you have never abandoned me.”
At this point, Wan Yao could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She suddenly threw herself into Chrysanthemum's arms and burst into tears, as if to vent all the grievances she had suffered these past few days.
Chrysanthemum gently patted Wanyao's back and softly comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry, everything will be alright..." The two embraced and wept, like two sisters who had gone through thick and thin together.
"Sister Wanyao, don't be sad, it's alright. Chrysanthemum has always considered you a close sister. Let's go take a bath and cleanse ourselves, and then choose a beautiful dress!" Chrysanthemum said with concern.
"Okay, okay!" Wanyao gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, forced a smile, and left with Juhua.
However, just as Wan Yao turned around, she did not notice that a chilling glint suddenly flashed in the depths of Ju Hua's eyes, disappearing in an instant.
Meanwhile, in the tranquil and peaceful Listening to Rain Courtyard.
"Wan'er, the Crown Prince is about to get married. Such a grand occasion, don't you really want to go and join in the fun?"
Lu Wanning was currently in Dongfang Wan'er's residence. Wen Nuan also happened to be there, and Lu Wanning knew very well that Wen Nuan was Dongfang Wan'er's confidante.
"Mom, I'm too lazy to go. What's the point of such an occasion!"
Dongfang Wan'er leaned lazily against the couch, casually flipping through a wonderfully captivating storybook.
