Chapter 209 No retreat
Listening to Ruogu's words, Jiang Wanrong suddenly had an epiphany. In the past, she just wanted to suppress Jiang Shuyu, but she didn't realize that since she had been against Jiang Shuyu, no matter what she did, she would not be successful.
This made her doubt Jiang Shuyu's true ability. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to have awe for Jiang Shuyu. However, she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart when she thought about being humble to Jiang Shuyu.
But the current situation does not allow her to do as she pleases. After all, there are two concubines in Prince Rui's Palace who are eyeing her covetously. At this moment, she is like a puppet standing on a single-plank bridge. If she is not careful, she will fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces, falling into an irretrievable situation.
It was not until this time that Jiang Wanrong realized the importance of having someone to support her. If she had a father who held a large army, King Rui would not have looked down on her so much.
Ruogu had been with Jiang Wanrong for so long, so she naturally knew that she was unwilling to give up. However, those who achieved great things did not care about trivial matters. If Jiang Wanrong was unwilling to do even such a small thing, then there was no need for her to continue planning for her.
Fortunately, Jiang Wanrong quickly adjusted her mentality. She needed Jiang Shuyu's help at the moment, so why not lower her posture to please her? Anyway, she had no other choice now.
But now that she and Jiang Shuyu have torn their faces, how can she gain her trust? Thinking of this, Jiang Wanrong couldn't help but frowned, and immediately looked at Ruogu and told her doubts.
"Aunt's idea is not bad, but Jiang Shuyu is already wary of me now. If I rashly try to reconcile with her, I'm afraid she won't believe it. After all, even I don't believe that I can write off the past so quickly. Does Aunt have any good ideas?"
Knowing that Jiang Wanrong had heard her words, Ruogu couldn't help but smile slightly. What she valued most was that no matter where Jiang Wanrong was, she could always know what she wanted most. Only by being able to bend and stretch could she achieve victory. She lacked this kind of courage at the beginning, which led to her tragic fate. Thinking of the past, Ruogu couldn't help but feel very regretful. Even if the past was gone with the wind and she couldn't bear to look back, she would not stop for it. What she wanted was never the little benefits in front of her.
However, Jiang Wanrong's worries are not unreasonable. If she wants to gain Jiang Shuyu's trust, she naturally cannot be too deliberate. Otherwise, not only will she fail to win Jiang Shuyu's favor, but she will also end up making things worse, which will not be good for her.
Thinking about the person Jiang Shuyu values most in the Jiang family is Old Madam Jiang, if she can get close to Jiang Shuyu through Old Madam Jiang, I wonder if she can succeed!
Ruogu's eyes flashed with something, and then he looked at Jiang Wanrong and said, "Miss, Madam, I have a good idea! I'm just worried that you'll have to suffer. If this can be successful, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort!"
Seeing Ruogu's confident look, Jiang Wanrong couldn't help but glance at Yuan Peishan. Seeing that she was also bewildered, Jiang Wanrong hurriedly looked at Ruogu and asked, "What's the solution? As long as I can successfully marry into the Rui Palace and be treated differently by the Rui King, I'm willing to do anything! Now it's just a little physical pain, I can still accept it!"
Seeing Jiang Wanrong's fearless look, Yuan Peishan's eyes were filled with worry. She looked at Ruogu and asked:
"I wonder if you have any way to change Jiang Shuyu's opinion of Wanrong. Wanrong's wedding is coming up soon, so we can't afford any mistakes."
After all, she had waited so long for this moment. If she missed the wedding because of this, it would be a loss.
Ruogu naturally understood Yuan Peishan's worries and quickly looked at Yuan Peishan and explained:
"Madam, rest assured. Since I have come up with this idea, I will naturally prepare a foolproof plan to ensure your safety. After all, I only resorted to this desperate measure in order to ensure your smooth marriage into Prince Rui's mansion and gain his favor!"
Yuan Peishan was convinced by Ruogu's methods. Now, after hearing her words, Yuan Peishan looked at Jiang Wanrong. The two exchanged glances, and Jiang Wanrong nodded firmly.
"Mom, don't worry! Auntie won't hurt me!"
Knowing that Jiang Wanrong had no way out, Yuan Peishan could only agree. She then looked at Ruogu and said, "Wanrong's wedding is only three days away. We should hurry up and make this happen! I'd like to trouble Ruogu to help plan everything!"
"Don't worry, madam. I'll leave this matter to this old servant! I will definitely not let you and the young lady down!" Ruogu's eyes narrowed, and then he bowed solemnly and left.
Looking at Ruogu's leaving figure, Jiang Wanrong couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Seeing that Yuan Peishan didn't behave strangely, Jiang Wanrong had to suppress her uneasiness and wait quietly for Ruogu's arrangements.
The next day, early in the morning, Jiang Wanrong got on a sedan chair and headed towards Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
At this time, Old Lady Jiang, served by her maidservants, came to the yard for a rare walk. Seeing the fragrance of osmanthus coming from the yard, Old Lady Jiang's mood couldn't help but improve.
"Every autumn rain brings a chill, and the weather is getting colder now. Look, if you don't let me out for a walk, the osmanthus flowers will wilt. Although the fragrance is still wafting in the air, it's not as strong as it was a few days ago. It's a pity that they didn't bloom in full bloom!"
Mrs. Jiang looked at the osmanthus flowers scattered on the ground, and she couldn't help but frowned, with a trace of pity in her eyes. She felt distressed about this scene, and she didn't know whether she felt pity for the withered flowers or for Jing Siren.
Seeing Old Madam Jiang like this, Nanny Wei couldn't help but feel helpless, but she didn't say much. Instead, she nodded in agreement.
"That's true, Madam. Fortunately, most of these osmanthus flowers have been collected by the maids. Today, we also have Madam's favorite osmanthus cake! This way, their trip won't be in vain."
Listening to Wei Ma's joke, Madam Jiang raised her eyebrows, turned her head and looked at her and said:
"You! You've been with me for so long, but you don't know how to appreciate these romantic things at all! Whatever comes to you, don't even think about leaving in one piece. You have to steam, stir-fry, fry, and fry everything, and you have to live it neatly. There's no romance at all."
"Okay, okay, what the old lady said is true. I am just an ordinary person, but every time I cook food, you never miss a single one of it!
