She always plays cards out of the ordinary

Chapter 354: Startling Steps 1

Yun Ruo was awakened by someone. She opened her eyes in a daze and found herself in an antique house. Before she could take a closer look at the situation in the house.

The girl standing beside the bed carefully helped her up.

"Princess, it's already bright outside, you should get up, the wife is waiting for you to have dinner."

Yun Ruo got up and washed with the help of the girl. While she was combing her hair, she roughly recalled the plot of this incident.

After a moment, she found herself back in the Qing Dynasty again. Yun Ruo sighed helplessly. It was so annoying that she had finally experienced several free and easy worlds and now she had to go back to this feudal dynasty.

Fortunately, she probably won't have to enter the palace to be the emperor's concubine this time. Thinking about her previous life, she spent most of her life within the narrow walls of the Forbidden City. Even after the emperor died, she went out of the palace to wander around.

But Yun Ruo didn't think there was anything to be happy about. After all, there were limitations of the times, and the status of women at that time was not high.

It seems like she is just a vassal of men. Even if she can go out, there are various restrictions.

"Gege, shall we go to Fu Jin's place?"

Yun Ruo fixed her gaze on the maid in front of her. This was Xiao Tao, the maid who had served her since she was a child. Standing on the other side was her other maid Xing Yu.

The two of them now followed Yun Ruo, also known as Guo Luoluo Mingyu, to the Eighth Prince's residence to accompany their sister Minghui for a while.

Mingyu really didn't know why an unmarried woman like her could live in the Eighth Prince's mansion in an era when the separation between men and women was so strict. However, since this was a novel world, it didn't matter.

Anyway, these plot worlds are often a bit upside down, so she won't be able to handle it if she cares about it.

Mingyu slowly followed Xiaotao and Xingyu to her sister, Fu Jin's place. At this time, Guo Luoluo Minghui was already waiting there.

Seeing her sister coming over, she glared at her with some anger and helplessness.

"Although this is the Eighth Prince's residence, and as his wife, I can let you do whatever you want, but there is no guarantee that no one will see you. If word gets out that you are a girl in the boudoir and lazy all day, it will not be good after all. You are not married yet."

"I understand, sister. I will definitely pay attention next time."

Mingyu always listens to her sister Minghui's words. Although she may not necessarily do so, she and her sister have a good relationship, so Mingyu rarely refutes her sister's words.

How could Minghui not know what her sister was thinking? It was just that this era was harsh on women. Even if she came from a good family, after getting married, she would never be as relaxed and comfortable as when she was a girl.

Minghui looked at her beloved sister whom she had loved since childhood, and thought that she was not young anymore. She thought that it would not be long before her family would arrange her marriage.

It would be better to let her relax during this last period of time, so Minghui could only shake her head helplessly.

"You, if only you were really obedient, let's have dinner."

Seeing that she said nothing more, Mingyu quietly ate her breakfast. The breakfast on the table was quite rich.

Mingyu was glad that she still had some status. If she had become a slave serving others in this era, it would have been miserable.

After all, there are no human rights in this feudal society. Of course, to the emperor, these people are also slaves and have no human rights. This also explains why those princes fought desperately for that chair.

After all, it is the commanding heights of power in this era, holding the power over life and death of all people. How can it not make people fascinated and crazy?

The two sisters had their breakfast quietly. After they finished, Minghui waved her hand and had someone bring out a bunch of gifts.

Before Mingyu could ask, she spoke first.

"Take your people and deliver these gifts to the concubine. Although Maertai Ruoxi is much better now, you still have to show proper courtesy and apologize. You can't just go there this time."

Minghui understood that Mingyu had a conflict with Ruoxi because she was trying to protect her. She knew her sister was indeed a bit proud and willful.

But the girl from the Maertai family was no less capable. The two of them clashed with each other several times, and neither she nor Maertai Ruolan intervened openly.

Including Mr. Ba, they all knew the reason why the two little girls were quarreling, but many things cannot be said openly.

Things like the discord between the principal wife and the concubine, although it could happen in every harem, could not be spoken out.

Otherwise, it is very likely that the queen will be reported for causing unrest in her family, which will definitely be a minus point in the eyes of the emperor.

So everyone tacitly treated it as a playful dispute between little girls, but this time the matter was a bit serious, and Ruoxi had to stay in bed for several days.

This made the Eighth Master a little angry, so Minghui asked Mingyu to send an apology gift. Otherwise, given her dislike for Ruolan, she would never let Mingyu go.

Mingyu looked at her sister's rare serious expression and did not refute. She also wanted to meet this legendary time-traveling girl.

Seeing that she was obedient and did not object, Minghui was still worried that she was cheating, so she emphasized again.

"Don't lie to me. I'll let Juqing go with you later. What if you run away?"

Mingyu grabbed her sister's hand and shook it, "Oh, sister, don't worry, I will definitely go. I want to go and see if that Maertai Ruoxi is really that seriously injured."

Mingyu deliberately imitated her original body's temperament and expressed her dissatisfaction, which put Minghui at ease. This was indeed what her sister would say.

She then warned him, "Then go, don't cause trouble, and come back after you see her."

"Got it~"

Mingyu brought a group of people and gifts to the courtyard where Maertai Ruolan lived.

As soon as she entered the door, Ruolan came out. Although there was no expression on her face, Mingyu could still see her diswelcome from her eyes.

But Mingyu was not angry. After all, her sister was really injured, so it was impossible for her to welcome her.

"I wonder what Princess Mingyu wants to do?"

"My Lady, I'm here to apologize. When Ruoxi and I were playing together in the embroidery building that day, I accidentally let her fall down. I don't know how she is now."

Ruolan was a little surprised to see Mingyu willingly come to apologize, but she still answered.

"She's getting much better."

"Then can I go in and see her? I'm a little worried if I don't see Ruoxi."

Seeing this, Mingyu took the opportunity to ask if she wanted to see Ruoxi. Ruolan had no choice but to let Mingyu go in to meet Ruoxi.

When Mingyu walked in, she saw Ruoxi lying on the bed with a weak look on her face. Her maid was beside her, wiping the sweat from her forehead with concern.

Seeing Ruoxi's pale face and tightly furrowed brows, Mingyu couldn't help but walk to the bedside and ask.

"Has Ruoxi always been like this? Do you want me to ask the imperial physician to come and see her?"
