Fu Rongli frowned. "How can I save her?"
The servant continued to whisper in his ear. "Miss Shi told you to do this."
Fu Rongli was reluctant. "That Lu Wanning is so eerie. I... I don't want to have any more connections with her..."
The servant quickly persuaded him. "Young master, this is the critical moment. As long as you do this, the truth will be muddled. By then, the princess will be too busy arguing with you to remember the matter of framing Miss He."
Fu Rongli hesitated and didn't move. The servant added. "Young master, there's no time to hesitate. Do you really want to be sent to the manor and never have a chance to rise again?"
Hearing this, Fu Rongli gritted his teeth, lifted the carriage curtain with difficulty and called out. "Mother..."
Madam Fu was already extremely angry. She couldn't afford to offend the He family, but couldn't she deal with a bastard son?
Just as she was about to take action, Fu Rongli got out of the carriage and knelt on the ground, sobbing. "Mother, your son... has been in love with the princess for a long time. Today's matter was also ordered by the princess. She told me to wait by the pond. If I could save her, the prince and princess would surely forgive me and let me be with her forever."
Madam Fu was still in a daze, while Madam He was extremely surprised. "What did you say? You mean this was Lu Wanning's doing?"
Jiyue was so angry that she was about to step forward to scold Fu Rongli when she heard Lu Wanning's voice from inside the carriage.
"Jiyue."
Jiyue quickly turned around and helped Lu Wanning out of the carriage. "Princess, you're not feeling well. Why did you get out?"
Lu Wanning raised her eyebrows. This Shi Aohan was really in a hurry, afraid that He Chan couldn't smoothly marry into the Fu family. It seemed that Shi Aohan had long been dissatisfied with her shrewd younger sister, He Chan.
What did it mean? It meant that she had already thought of a way to enter the Fu family as a concubine. On the one hand, she wanted to suppress her cousin for a lifetime. On the other hand, she was also arranging someone loyal to her in the Fu family in advance.
Lu Wanning didn't care about those things. She just pointed at Fu Rongli and said to the servant beside her. "Go and slap this bastard for the princess."
Fu Rongli was greatly shocked and quickly dodged backward. "Princess, you..."
"Framing the princess for the second time. It seems that you think the princess is made of clay and has such a good temper, right?" Seeing that the servant beside Fu Rongli was about to stop her, Lu Wanning wasn't angry. She just stared at Madam Fu. "It seems that in the madam's eyes, the princess can be bullied at will and is not allowed to resist? Do I have to ask my elder brother to come here in person?"
Although Madam Fu was extremely dissatisfied with Lu Wanning, she didn't dare to say much, especially not for a bastard son. It wasn't worth it. She quickly said. "No, no, no, princess. My bastard son is very uneducated. Even if the princess didn't say so, I should have severely punished him. Servants, why should the princess do it herself? Are you all stupid? Hurry up and slap him until the princess calms down!"
Originally, because Fu Rongli was still the young master, his servants didn't use much strength.
Lu Wanning's servants had already moved a chair and served her to sit down. They also served tea and held an umbrella to prevent her from getting tired at all.
Hearing those soft slaps, Lu Wanning slightly raised her eyebrows while holding the teacup. Madam Fu immediately understood and turned to scold.
"Are you all not eating? Get out of the way. Nanny, you go and slap him!"
The nanny beside Madam Fu used a lot of strength. She had long been dissatisfied with the bastard young master. Now she was looking for an excuse to vent her anger for her madam, so she used all her strength. With each slap, after only twenty slaps, Fu Rongli's face was already swollen beyond recognition.
Lu Wanning raised her eyebrows and smiled. "That's enough. The princess is tired."
The nanny then stopped and flatteringly smiled at Lu Wanning.
Lu Wanning got up and walked in front of Fu Rongli. She looked at him coldly, bent down and poked at his swollen and broken wound. Then she disgustedly took the handkerchief from Jiyue, wiped her hands and threw the handkerchief on the ground. "Look clearly. The princess has so many silk handkerchiefs. Losing one or two doesn't matter to the princess. Framing the princess with such a thing is seeking death. But you haven't sought death enough. If the princess were to beat you to death with a stick today, no one would dare to scold the princess."
Fu Rongli wanted to dodge but was held by the servants and couldn't get away at all. He was so scared that he was in tears and soiled himself.
Lu Wanning continued. "There are millions of people who admire the princess, but there are really not many disgusting ones. There are quite a few strange people in your Fu family. Fu Rongli, you're not even worthy to wipe the princess's shoes. If you dare to have any more thoughts about the princess, my Lu family is not as useless as the He family. Your leg... Humph!"
Fu Rongli trembled and hung his head, not daring to say a word.
It was He Chan who lifted the carriage curtain and glared at Lu Wanning fiercely.
Lu Wanning sighed slightly in her heart. At this point, He Chan was still so stupid that she didn't even know how to take the step the princess had given her. If He Chan were to make a scene at this moment and find a way to let the He family use this as an excuse to break Fu Rongli's leg, and then the princess returned to the He family's ancestral mansion for two years, this matter would be over. Even if she couldn't marry into a noble family in the future, she wouldn't have to marry such a useless person as Fu Rongli.
Forget it. It had nothing to do with her.
Lu Wanning was about to return to her own carriage when she saw Fu Rongxuan standing beside her, looking at her with a complicated look.
Was this guy crazy?
At least on the surface, Shi Aohan had nothing to do with this this time. What? Was he going to make trouble for her again?
Lu Wanning rolled her eyes at Fu Rongxuan. When she got into the carriage, she found that the Prince of Jia and Zhen Yan were sitting in the carriage.
The Prince of Jia looked at Lu Wanning with a wronged face. "Boss, you don't know. I've been so wronged today. I should have let someone throw He Chan down at that time. Later, the He family swarmed over and said that I deliberately bullied He Chan. I'm so angry."
Lu Wanning casually ruffled his hair. "Okay, okay. Don't be wronged. Sister will buy you something delicious later."
The Prince of Jia pouted. "Boss, how did His Highness the Prince of Yu save you? When he sent someone to pass the message, I didn't know what had happened. I thought something had happened to you. I didn't expect..."
"Him? He's the big shot I'm relying on. Hehe."
"Rely on a big shot? What does that mean?" The Prince of Jia looked confused.
Lu Wanning didn't explain. She just teasingly pushed Zhen Yan. "Sister Zhen, what's wrong with you? You're not saying a word."
"What's there to say?" Zhen Yan was extremely angry. "Just thinking about it makes me annoyed. My sister-in-law said that she's going to enter the palace tomorrow to discuss my marriage with the queen! Ah, I don't like that Sheng Songyan guy at all."
For some reason, Lu Wanning suddenly burst out laughing.
Zhen Yan was so angry that she slapped Lu Wanning hard on the shoulder. Lu Wanning kept begging for mercy in pain.
"You're still laughing. Are you my good friend? You're still laughing. Look at Sheng Songyan. He thinks he's suave but is actually lewd! Not to mention how many maids and singing girls there are in the Prince of Qishan's mansion, just his female friends outside... Ugh, no, I won't marry him!"
