Chapter 390 The Scumbag Woman Reborn, the Regent Prince Refuses to Be a Sucker 8
Because the Fifth Prince personally came to inquire about her condition, Marquis Ning'an has lifted Jiang Yunyan's confinement and exempted her from punishment. However, she can only stay in bed to recover from her injuries and cannot leave the house.
Biyue was carefully feeding her cooled porridge.
Jiang Yunyan's face was also badly injured, and her mouth was slapped raw, making it difficult for her to eat. After only a few sips, she waved her hand, indicating that she didn't want to drink anymore.
Biyue quickly put down her bowl, took a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, and said with heartache, "Miss, I know you're in pain, but you have to eat more so your wound can heal faster!"
Just then, a maid rushed in and said, "Miss, the Second Miss has barged in with her entourage."
Biyue quickly asked, "How many people did you bring?"
The maidservant replied, "I brought two maidservants who did menial tasks."
Upon hearing this, Biyue said angrily, "They're just two maids, why didn't you stop them? Miss is injured right now, what if the Second Miss barges in and gets hurt again?"
"Can't be stopped..."
The second young lady led the way and rushed in. How could they dare to stop her? If the second young lady were to get hurt, the madam would skin them alive!
Besides, the second young lady is now the future regent's wife!
The maidservant, fearing punishment, quickly said, "I just heard from the people in the front courtyard that the Second Miss was invited by the Fifth Prince to go boating on the lake, but she was assassinated. It was the Regent who personally brought her back. The Regent even said in front of the Marquis that bullying the Second Miss is the same as bullying him."
Biyue said angrily, "The Regent knows how to stand up for the Second Miss, but when the Second Miss bullied the Eldest Miss before, why didn't he stand up for the Eldest Miss?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yunyan felt a pang of pain in her heart. He had actually gone out of his way to bring Jiang Yunqing back and even stood up for her.
Biyue's complaint was simply because she felt it was unfair.
She had no idea that her young mistress no longer liked the elegant Fifth Prince, but instead had fallen for the ruthless Regent Prince whom she had previously feared and loathed. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said those words that struck a chord with her.
In the original storyline, the Regent Prince did not support Jiang Yunyan because he had no idea that she had been wronged in the Marquis's mansion.
Because of Jiang Yunyan's attitude of avoiding him at all costs, the Regent Prince, though outwardly cold, was actually always very careful around her. He dared not plant any spies in the Marquis's residence, for fear that she would find out and hate him even more.
Lady Ning'an was always good at putting on a show, appearing to treat her and Jiang Yunqing equally and not lacking anything from her, but in reality, she always secretly tripped her up and made her suffer in silence.
Even if Jiang Yunyan suffered grievances, she would not tell the Regent. In other words, she would rather suffer injustices in the Marquis's mansion than have any more contact with the Regent.
The regent, of course, knew nothing.
It wasn't until Jiang Yunyan was reborn and learned to complain to him that he realized how much she had suffered in the Marquis's mansion. He then began to stand up for her and stand up for her.
At this moment, after the initial heartache, Jiang Yunyan still couldn't believe that Helian Yin would really treat Jiang Yunqing so well; he must have just been trying to spite her.
Thinking of something, she quickly asked, "Was the Regent's bodyguard Qi with him today?"
"No."
The maid was so certain because the girl who shared this information with her had met Guard Qi once before, and then fell in love with him.
The Regent came today, but she was unable to see Guard Qi again, which made her very disappointed. That's why she came to chat with him; otherwise, she wouldn't have known about the news from the front courtyard so quickly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunyan immediately felt reassured.
Qi Shi was Helian Yin's personal bodyguard and usually stayed by his side. How could it be such a coincidence that he was not here today?
It must be because Qi Shi injured her without authorization and was severely punished. Given Helian Yin's violent nature, he might even have killed her directly.
Jiang Yunyan felt both relieved and delighted, her heart aching with a bittersweet feeling; he really couldn't bear to part with her.
Yun Qing entered Jiang Yunyan's courtyard and smashed things along the way, turning the courtyard upside down before finally entering Jiang Yunyan's boudoir.
Biyue, loyal to her mistress, quickly stepped in front of Jiang Yunyan's bed. Seeing the whip in Yunqing's hand, she said with a fierce but weak voice, "Second Miss, my mistress is unwell. Is there anything wrong...?"
Before she could finish speaking, she was shoved to the ground by the rough maidservant that Yun Qing had brought with her.
Yun Qing stood by the bed, glanced at Jiang Yunyan, then looked away with a disapproving expression, frowning and asking worriedly, "Sister, did the Fifth Prince see you like this?"
Jiang Yunyan coldly watched her hypocritical and pretentious demeanor, wishing she could tear her face to shreds.
Yun Qing sighed, "Sister, I was just worried about you. You look so scary. The Fifth Prince would have nightmares if he saw you like this."
Jiang Yunyan couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Fool! She actually thought she liked that hypocritical scumbag!
In her previous life, after Jiang Yunqing discovered her affair with the Fifth Prince, she often used this to threaten her, take away her favorite items, and force her to do things she didn't want to do. Later, she even made Jiang Yunqing, the Regent's Consort, solve the problems she caused.
At that time, she was completely devoted to the Fifth Prince and was afraid that the matter would be publicized and affect him. So, she had no choice but to back down step by step.
She thought Jiang Yunqing was just using her weakness to manipulate her, but she never expected that Jiang Yunqing was secretly having an affair with the Fifth Prince.
No wonder she's such a slut who always tries to steal things from her! She doesn't even spare men.
Since Jiang Yunqing likes to compete with her so much, then she might as well grant her wish. Scumbag and bitch, they're a match made in heaven!
Jiang Yunqing is currently engaged, and it was a marriage bestowed by the emperor. She just needs to watch her court disaster.
That way, Helian Yin won't have to worry about how to break off the engagement.
She's not in a hurry; they can take their time!
She will make Jiang Yunqing, that bitch, and Helian Jingyu, that scumbag, pay back double for the harm and pain she suffered with Helian Yin and the child in her womb in her previous life!
Jiang Yunyan suppressed the hatred surging in her heart, endured the pain on her face and mouth, and said in a sweet tone, "The Fifth Prince is not such a shallow person. If he saw this, he would only feel sorry for me."
Yun Qing blinked and tilted her head, asking, "Sister, what did you say? I can't hear you."
Jiang Yunyan felt a tightness in her chest, as if she couldn't catch her breath, and felt suffocated by her reaction.
Qi Shi slapped her without holding back at all, so it would be strange if Jiang Yunyan could speak clearly now.
Realizing her current disheveled state, and comparing it to Jiang Yunqing's still bright and flamboyant appearance after the assassination attempt, she felt as if she had lost to her.
Losing to the person she hated so much, and then being laughed at like this, filled Jiang Yunyan with both torment and resentment, yet she couldn't even bring herself to utter a single curse.
Fortunately, she had a thoughtful maid, Biyue, who couldn't bear to see her young mistress being bullied, and was also afraid that Yunqing might hurt her young mistress if she got upset, so she could only suppress her anger and say, "Miss said that the Fifth Prince is not such a shallow person, and he would only feel sorry for her if he saw it."
Yun Qing thought for a moment, "So you didn't see it?"
She looked at Jiang Yunyan and said in surprise, "Sister, the Fifth Prince is so devoted to you. Knowing that you are so badly injured, he came to the Marquis's mansion but didn't even come to see you in person?"
"He actually had the mood to go boating on the lake? Isn't he worried about you at all?"
Biyue retorted stubbornly, "The Fifth Prince was only thinking of Miss's reputation."
However, Jiang Yunyan gripped the bedding tightly, overwhelmed by a deep-seated remorse.
Yes! The Fifth Prince treated her so perfunctorily; she was truly foolish in her previous life, never noticing at all.
As Yun Qing spoke, she herself began to have doubts: Did the Fifth Prince really like Jiang Yunyan?
If it were for Jiang Yunyan's reputation, how many times had he and Jiang Yunyan secretly met? And that was even when Jiang Yunyan was engaged.
Are you only now starting to care about Jiang Yunyan's reputation?
If he really wanted to see Jiang Yunyan, he had plenty of ways to do so discreetly.
Lost in thought, she muttered unconsciously, "I was scared, but even Helian Yin came to see me in the middle of the night, didn't he?"
Not only was she discovered by someone else, but even she herself didn't realize it.
"What did you say?"
The hoarse voice, uttered slowly and deliberately, sounded like it came from some strange creature. Yun Qing, who was lost in thought, jumped back in fright, "Aaaaaa...a ghost!"
She was supported by two maids, patted her chest, and only after she came to her senses did she realize that it was Jiang Yunyan who was speaking.
Jiang Yunyan looked like a ghost. Her face was contorted, her wounds were torn open, and her mouth and chin were covered in blood. She was staring at her with wide eyes, like a demon about to devour her.
Feeling humiliated and embarrassed by being frightened by her, Yun Qing, in a fit of anger and embarrassment, raised her whip and lashed out at Jiang Yunyan, "Jiang Yunyan, are you trying to scare me on purpose?"
Jiang Yunyan seemed oblivious to the pain, and even reached out to grab her, asking again, "What did you just say?"
Yun Qing had no idea how destructive her mutterings were; she only felt that Jiang Yunyan looked terrifying, so after giving her a few perfunctory lashes, she slipped away.
To save face, he added a harsh remark before leaving, "Don't think you're so great just because you have the Fifth Prince backing you up. I still have..."
Realizing she had misspoke halfway through her sentence, she quickly corrected herself, declaring with boundless confidence, "I will steal the Fifth Prince away sooner or later!"
Qi Ying almost fell headfirst off the tree.
My Princess! Are you shouting so loudly because you're afraid the Prince won't know?
