Chapter 212: The Heroine Whose Luck Was Taken Away
It was perfect, just as she had imagined!
Ye Ruoxing found an opportunity and rushed towards the door. Her whole body hit the door hard and she fell to the ground reflexively.
She covered her arm and hissed in pain. This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Jiang Wuchen who pushed the door open.
He simply glanced at the girl who had fallen to the ground, then looked at the courtyard with a cold gaze. He asked in a deep voice, "Buddhist Pure Land, what are you doing?"
Seeing Jiang Wuchen coming, the noble lady in the yard was delighted at first, but then she lowered her head cautiously, looking panicked.
Even Miss Liu, who hit the hardest, was stunned where she stood. She hid the whip behind her, at a loss.
It’s over, it’s over. What will happen if the emperor’s uncle sees her like this?
You know, the emperor's uncle hates noise the most. It's all because of this vixen. She was so angry that she did such a thing.
Thinking of this, she glared at Ye Ruoxing fiercely.
Receiving her gaze, Ye Ruoxing smiled. Jiang Wuchen was so rude. He just glanced at such a beautiful girl who fell to the ground.
But then again, he is a devoted Buddhist, so it is normal for him to have such a situation.
She supported herself on the ground with one hand, stood up, and glanced at him indifferently.
At that moment, all the noble ladies in the courtyard finally reacted and knelt down to salute.
"This humble servant greets the Emperor's uncle."
A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Ruoxing's eyes, and then he also saluted.
"This commoner greets the Emperor."
Seeing her delayed action and calling herself a commoner girl, Jiang Wuchen couldn't help but look at her strangely again.
She was wearing silk and satin, but beneath the luxurious clothes were mottled and crisscrossed scars that could not be concealed.
How strange it is.
Logically, this courtyard is for daughters of officials to live in. Her attire and the maids following behind her show that she is not an ordinary person. Moreover, her etiquette is extremely standard and her temperament is also quite good.
However, the scars on her body and the way she called herself made him feel confused. Logically, a woman who could perform such standard etiquette would not make mistakes in addressing others.
He looked at her and asked, "Whose family are you from?"
Seeing that the emperor's uncle actually asked that vixen questions, Miss Liu's face was distorted with anger.
She has lived here for more than three months and has not spoken a word to the emperor's uncle.
Ye Ruoxing replied calmly, "Uncle, I am a servant of the Ye family."
She answered very calmly, as if she was just narrating a very ordinary matter, but her words attracted the attention of the noble ladies who had been kneeling on her.
Maid?
A maid actually wants servants and servants. Is the Ye family rebelling against the Heavenly Gang?
In the crowd, a noble lady recognized Ye Ruoxing. She immediately stood up and exposed her, "Uncle, she is not a maid of the Ye family. She is the young lady of the Ye family, Ye Ruoxing."
As she spoke, she looked at Ye Ruoxing and accused her, "I didn't expect you to be so bold. You dare to deceive the emperor's uncle."
There was no trace of panic on Ye Ruoxing's face. She just smiled faintly and then calmly lifted her sleeves. Her hands were covered with calluses and many cuts.
She looked at Jiang Wuchen and explained:
"I beg your pardon, uncle. I believe that a person's status is determined solely by her own actions, not by others. Although I am indeed a daughter of the Ye family in name, as you can see, my hands are the product of years of hard labor, so I call myself a servant of the Ye family."
Just now, he could only vaguely see the wound on her hand, but now he could see it more clearly, and even he could feel a little bit of pity in his eyes.
At least the servants who followed him did not have such scars on their bodies. These calluses were definitely not left by practicing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
He didn't know much about the Ye family, but he was just very curious why there was such a strange existence in the Ye family.
However, what she said makes some sense. A person's identity should be determined by what he does now.
He has now gone to the temple to practice, but they are still not reassured and have sent people to test him again and again.
As soon as he thought of it, he immediately remembered that the woman who had rewarded him seemed to be a lady from the Ye family.
Could it be the person in front of me?
If this is the case, then it can be explained. The Ye family probably didn't want to send their own daughter over, so they found such a beautiful maid to dress up as a daughter and marry him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wuchen instantly understood much more clearly.
He sighed in his heart and felt a little sympathy for the poor maid. She was so innocent, yet she was forced upon him like this.
"What are you doing here today?" Perhaps out of sympathy, Jiang Wuchen actually asked her another question.
He already had the answer in his mind. She was probably arranged by the Ye family, perhaps to get close to him.
But he wanted to hear what she would say. After all, he was going to marry her. Even if he was just going to marry her and keep her, he should know what kind of person she was.
Ye Ruoxing simply replied, "Uncle, I'm here to pay my respects to a deceased friend. However, since burning incense is not allowed until after noon, I'm allowed to rest here for a while."
This answer is unexpected.
Jiang Wuchen nodded. He looked at the horrific wound on her hand and finally couldn't help but speak, "Your body and hair are given by your parents. No matter who you are, you must take care of yourself."
Sure enough, older people like to preach.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Ye Ruoxing's eyes, and then she bowed and thanked him: "I am grateful for your guidance, uncle."
Afterwards, Jiang Wuchen gave a few more cold instructions, asking the other ladies to stop making trouble, and then turned and left with his hands behind his back.
Because Jiang Wuchen gave the order, the ladies did not dare to stay in the yard any longer and all returned to their rooms in shame.
……
After noon.
Ye Ruoxing got up early and came to the mourning hall where the tablets were enshrined. The place was cleared out and she was the only one who would pay tribute during this period.
The system was a little surprised by her actions and asked, "Smelly fox, didn't you just make up this story? Why are you actually crying?"
Ye Ruoxing smiled and said, "Wait a moment, and you'll know."
Sure enough, the system was soon surprised to find that Jiang Wuchen had also come, and he was hiding behind the tent, as if checking what Ye Ruoxing was doing.
The system screamed, "Stinky fox, what did you do? Why did Jiang Wuchen come here suddenly?"
Ye Ruoxing seemed to have expected this, without any surprise at all.
She smiled and said, "I'll tell you later."
Then, she put her hands together and kowtowed devoutly to the pile of spirit tablets in front of her, and then she spoke tearfully.
"I'm here to see you, late mother."
