Chapter 140 Concern
Lin Yan suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, glared at Green Tea, and said firmly: "At worst, just leave it alone! It's better if he doesn't come. I'm free now. I can go out through the back door tomorrow to have a look."
Green Tea shook her head helplessly and sighed inwardly. She felt that although her master was smart, she was sometimes too careless and did not know how to fight for her rights, which resulted in other women taking advantage of her. "My master, the prince just said that you can't go anywhere." Green Tea said anxiously, trying to stop Lin Yan from leaving.
"Did he say that?" Lin Yan asked with a puzzled look on her face, seeming confused by Green Tea's words.
"Yes, master, the prince did say so." Green Tea nodded affirmatively. She clearly remembered the prince's order.
"I didn't hear it. Did you hear it?" Lin Yan asked again, her eyes firm and confident.
Green Tea hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't think I heard it clearly either."
"That's all. Go take a shower and go to bed." Lin Yan smiled with satisfaction, turned and walked to the bed, ready to rest.
Green Tea sighed helplessly. She knew that Lin Yan was stubborn and once she made a decision, it was hard to change it. Although she was worried that the prince would blame her, she couldn't stop Lin Yan. She could only pray silently that everything would go well.

Wu Yue did not expect that Lin Yan, as a concubine, would dare to blatantly reject the princess' invitation, which made her very surprised and dissatisfied.
Mu Xueli acted as if she was used to it, and stirred up discord by saying, "Hey, it seems that Sister Lin is angry. Princess Wu Yue, do you know that those geraniums are Sister Lin's favorite?"
After hearing this, Wu Yue sneered and replied, "How vulgar! After all, she is from a humble background." Her words were not only belittling Lin Yan's taste, but also implying that Princess Mu's status was low.
Hearing this, Mu Xueli's face changed slightly, but soon returned to calm. Chen Qingqing, who had been sitting silently beside her, showed a barely perceptible smile.
Everyone drank tea with their own thoughts. Mu Xueli's good mood was ruined by these words. She didn't want to sit with the disgusting Wu Yue for a moment. "Just now, I heard that the prince was furious with Sister Lin. I wanted to go find out what happened, but my stomach hurts a little. Princess Wu Yue, do you have time to go and see her for me and ask for her care?"
Wu Yue said with a dissatisfied look on her face: "It's really not easy to be pregnant. Alas, it must be that ignorant Lin Yan who bumped into A Yuan again. Princess Mu, shouldn't you educate such an rude person for a few days?" Her tone was full of blame and questioning.
Mu Xueli was unhappy in her heart, but she still responded politely on the surface: "Princess Wu Yue is right. I am indeed a little soft-hearted. Since Princess Wu Yue has moved in, I will let Lin Yan come over tomorrow and let Princess Wu Yue teach her personally. The effect will be better." She knew that Wu Yue was deliberately looking for trouble, but it was not easy for her to refute directly, so she took a roundabout way and kicked the matter back.
Wu Yue nodded proudly, then turned and left, saying as she walked: "This is a private matter within the inner house of Prince Rui's Mansion. This princess is just giving a suggestion. Of course, Princess Mu can ignore it. I don't know how Brother Yuan is doing now. This princess will go and see. You guys continue..." After that, she walked out forcefully, leaving a group of maids following her.
Mu Xueli looked at Wu Yue's departing back and muttered to herself: "What a joke! Isn't it just that a woman was married to a foreign prince and her husband died, so she was forced to come back to eat her mother's food. She really thinks she is a princess." But she didn't dare to show her dissatisfaction with Wu Yue. After all, Wu Yue was a princess now.
When Wu Yue came in, she was surprised and disappointed to find Zhao Yuan standing calmly in front of the desk practicing calligraphy. She originally thought that Zhao Yuan would react to her arrival, but now it seems that he is not affected much.
"I haven't seen you for ten years. Brother Yuan's handwriting has become more vigorous and powerful!" Wu Yue admired Zhao Yuan's calligraphy and tried to attract his attention. She deliberately didn't let Defu report and sneaked into the room to give Zhao Yuan a surprise. However, Zhao Yuan just responded lightly: "Princess Wu Yue."
Hearing this address, Wu Yue's eyes suddenly became moist, tears welled up in her eyes. She said aggrievedly: "Brother Yuan, you didn't call me like this before?" This sentence was full of nostalgia for the past and dissatisfaction with Zhao Yuan's changes. Seeing this, Zhao Yuan quickly changed his words and said: "Hey, Yueyue."
After hearing this, Wu Yue finally couldn't hold back her tears. Her tears flowed out of her eyes like a flood and slid down her cheeks. She sobbed and choked as she called out, "Brother Yuan..." She felt wronged and sad. She didn't understand why Zhao Yuan, who had been gentle and considerate to her, would become so cold and heartless. However, Zhao Yuan just watched her cry quietly, with a hint of helplessness and guilt in his eyes.
Zhao Yuan sighed deeply, and said with a hint of sigh in his tone: "Things are different now. You and I have both started our own families. It's impossible for us to go back to the past." His voice was low and heavy, as if every word was squeezed out from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing this, Wu Yue cried even harder. She covered her mouth with her hands, trying to hold back her tears, but she couldn't control her inner sadness. She trembled and asked, "Brother Yuan, do you really think so? Is there no possibility between us?" Her eyes were full of despair and sadness, as if the whole world had collapsed at this moment.
Wu Yue spread out her palms, and the calluses were clearly visible. Her eyes were red, as if she had just cried. She whispered, "Do you know what kind of life I was living over there?"
Zhao Yuan's eyes widened, and he looked at her palm in surprise. He couldn't help but take a breath and asked in disbelief, "You are a princess, how dare they treat you like this?" His voice was full of anger and confusion.
Wu Yue lowered her head, a trace of bitterness flashed in her eyes. She shook her head gently and cried sadly. She said: "Princess, everyone knows how I came to be a princess? I am just a chess piece. When I am useful, I can give it some color. When I am useless, I will throw it away as soon as possible." There was endless sadness in her voice, which moved people.
