Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 293: Subtle Probing, Concubines’ Struggle

"Madam, do you have any other plans?" Xiao Yan'an listened attentively.

He also knows nothing about business.

"You will understand it when you watch it later." Ji Chuhe did not explain.

"Okay." Xiao Yan'an nodded immediately.

"Prince, Madam, something bad has happened. Aunt Xu and the concubine are fighting!" Mianzhu hurried over to report.

Ji Chuhe frowned, but Xiao Yan'an had already turned around and ran out.

In the pavilion of the garden, Xu Yan'er sat proudly with her legs crossed, while Liao Yunfei knelt with tears in her eyes and a look of grievance and humiliation on her face.

"Liao Yunfei, the prince doesn't like you at all, and you shamelessly forced yourself into marriage. The prince has made it clear that he hates you and will never sleep with you, so why don't you give up? Are you born to be so cheap? You knew the prince would definitely pass by here, so you flirt with him here and play your broken piano. Do you still want to seduce the prince?"

"Aunt Xu, you misunderstood me. I just haven't played the piano for a long time and wanted to practice a piece of music." Liao Yunfei explained immediately.

"Why don't you practice the piano in your yard?"

Liao Yunfei saw Xiao Yanan walking quickly in the distance.

"Aunt Xu, can't I practice the piano here? Madam hasn't restricted my freedom." Liao Yunfei deliberately asked back and brought Ji Chuhe out.

"How dare you quibble! Don't you know who you are? If the Madam doesn't care about you, I will!"

"In terms of status, I am a concubine, and only the lady has the right to control me." Liao Yunfei responded weakly.

Xu Yan'er smiled coldly and stretched out her hand to pluck the strings of the piano. "You just know how to play the piano, right? I'm going to smash your piano today!"

"Aunt Xu, this is the piano that has been with me for more than ten years! You can't smash my piano!" Liao Yunfei suddenly stood up to protect the piano.

Xu Yan'er pushed her away, picked up the piano and threw it to the ground!

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the piano broke into two pieces, and the strings broke one after another!

Liao Yunfei's body hit the pillar. Looking at the piano broken into two pieces on the ground, tears flowed out like a dam bursting. She crawled over and picked up the piano regardless of her embarrassment.

"My piano, my piano..." He kept muttering to himself.

"Aunt Xu, how has my concubine offended you? How dare you commit treason!" Liao Yunfei's maid Lian'er asked loudly.

Xu Yan'er raised her hand and slapped Lian'er, "You are the only one who talks too much!"

Lian'er was knocked to the ground and glared at Xu Yan'er unwillingly.

"What's going on!" Xiao Yan'an's voice suddenly rang out.

Xu Yan'er immediately turned around, changed her arrogant attitude, pointed at Liao Yunfei and complained aggrievedly, "Sir, this Liao Yunfei is still not honest! She still wants to seduce you."

"Prince, I didn't, I really didn't." Liao Yunfei raised her head to explain, her little face full of tears.

Xu Yan'er immediately took Xiao Yan'an's arm, as if to declare her sovereignty.

"Prince, don't listen to her excuses. She is plotting something bad against you! Today, I smashed her zither to end her thoughts. From now on, just like Madam said, tell her to behave herself in the Prince's Mansion and not to indulge in wishful thinking!"

"Did Madam really say that?" Xiao Yan'an suddenly asked.

"Yes, that's what ma'am said!" Xu Yan'er responded firmly.

Liao Yunfei secretly clenched her hands.

Today is just a test.

She could already see how indulgent Xiao Yan'an was towards Xu Yan'er.

Xiao Yan'an didn't even look at her during the whole process. He didn't even have the slightest sympathy for her grievances and humiliation!

"Aunt Xu, Madam only told the concubine to behave herself and be loyal to the Crown Prince and his mansion, but she didn't tell her not to have such wishful thinking." Qingluo suddenly appeared.

Xiao Yanan reacted immediately.

This is what Ji Chuhe would say.

She never cared how many women were around him.

She would never smash the piano as excitedly as Xu Yan'er did.

Not to mention being excited, even if he shared a room with Liao Yunfei, it wouldn't cause the slightest ripple in her heart!

Qingluo helped Liao Yunfei up and said, "Sir, Madam asked me to come over and see what happened."

Xu Yan'er felt a little guilty and quietly hid behind Xiao Yan'an.

"Liao Yunfei was playing the piano here, trying to attract my attention. Aunt Xu got angry and smashed her piano in a rage." Xiao Yan'an summarized it briefly.

"Aunt Qingluo, please give my concubine justice! My concubine was playing the piano here with no other intention, but Aunt Xu came up and humiliated my concubine. She was just a concubine, but she asked my concubine to kneel down! Then she smashed the piano!" Lian'er immediately cried.

"Prince." Xu Yan'er called out in a tender voice, with an expression of seeking help on her little face.

"You know you're not welcome, so why are you still coming out?" Xiao Yan'an said to Liao Yunfei.

Liao Yunfei almost died of anger!

"Aunt Xu, did you really make the concubine kneel down for you?" Qingluo asked Xu Yan'er.

"She wanted to kneel down on her own! What does it have to do with me!" Xu Yan'er's mind was working very fast now!

Ji Chuhe is not the prince. If this is true, she will definitely not be forgiven!

She wasn't stupid enough to admit it herself.

"No, you are talking nonsense. It was you who asked the concubine to kneel down!"

"Just like you said, she is a concubine. She has a higher status than me. I told her to kneel down, so she did!" Xu Yan'er retorted loudly, and immediately pretended to be pitiful and acted coquettishly towards Xiao Yan'an: "Sir, look, she dares to falsely accuse me!"

"If she wants to kneel, then she can kneel. That's her business!" Xiao Yan'an said. "At most, I can just accompany her with a set of zither. That's how the matter is resolved."

Qingluo looked at Liao Yunfei.

Her attitude also softened a little. It seemed that if Liao Yunfei stopped making a fuss, the matter would be over.

"Prince, you don't have to compensate me for my piano. Even if you do, it won't be the piano that has accompanied me for more than ten years. It is irreplaceable in my heart." Liao Yunfei held the piano as if she had lost her soul.

She asked Xiao Yan'an again, "May I ask, my lord, have you ever lost something you loved in your life? Even if it is not valuable, it is irreplaceable in your heart."

"If so, then you should understand my feelings at this moment. If not, there is no point in saying more."

Liao Yunfei stood up from the ground, without even looking at the broken piano, and turned away.

Her steps were unsteady and she looked like she would faint at any second.

"Hahaha." Suddenly, she laughed, and her smile was full of sadness.

"I was so foolish and infatuated with him! I shouldn't have fallen in love with a man who didn't love me so recklessly. I am reaping the consequences!"

"Madam!" Lian'er hurriedly chased after her.

This master and servant pair looked as miserable as they could be.

Xiao Yan'an looked in the direction of Liao Yunfei, then looked at the piano on the ground, and suddenly felt that he had gone too far.

Because he really lost something he loved.

It was a wooden sword that his father had carved for him, and he broke it.

"Tianxi, put the piano away and see if it can be repaired." Xiao Yan'an ordered.

"Yes." Tianxi immediately stepped forward and put away the piano.
