Contrary to Li Manrus expectations, Ding Rou smiled and listened intently, occasionally asking about the situation of the third sister or inquiring about Madame Hous condition. It wasnt jealousy that had driven her mad, but rather a sense of watching a play. Li Manru felt very defeated. "Ding Rou, arent you sad? You were once the most favored concubine by Dings side, and Third Sister was always suppressed. Now that things have turned around, arent you sad? I heard it was you who pushed Third Sister into the icy pond, ruining your reputation. Do you want to spend the rest of your life alone in the countryside? Who would dare marry you? Or do you plan on debasing yourself and marrying a farmer?"
Ding Rou smiled and shook her head, "How could I be lonely? Isnt it good that Im with my mother? Although the Zhuang family cant compare to the Ding familys wealth and nobility, we have the advantage of being carefree. Moreover..."
Ding Rou glanced at Liu Shi, who had been standing behind her all along, and said to Li Manzhu: "Miss Li, marrying a farmer is not a humiliating thing. I remember that when our great ancestor emperor rose up in arms against the brutal rule of the Yuan and Mongols, he was also from a farming family, while the empress was a young lady from a wealthy family."
Li Manzhus face turned white in an instant, "Ding... soft... dont talk nonsense."
The loopholes in the conversation, peeking into the thoughts of the people talking, were originally Ding Rous specialty. In her previous life, she had benefited from it many times. In this life, in the Great Qin Dynasty, Ding Rou asked herself if she was inferior to the old slippery ones who had seen the rise and fall of the world, but she was more than enough to deal with Li Manzhu, a proud and arrogant young lady. Ding Rou raised an eyebrow, "Is that so?"
Li Manzhu saw a hint of mockery in Ding Rous calm and discerning eyes, which made Li Manzhu feel stifled to the point of chest pain. In the past, Ding Rou wasnt so difficult to deal with, but how did she change after coming to the Zhuangzi? Li Manzhu looked at Ding Rou carefully, although she was smiling all along, but Li Manzhu had a feeling that she was more formidable than before and didnt know how to respond. Just then, Li Manshi walked over, bent his knees and smiled: "Ding Rou sister, nice to see you again, are you well?"
Dont hit a smiling face, Ting Ruo lowered her eyes. Li Man Shi is not as easy to deal with as Li Man Ru. The whole smiley tiger, but would Ting Ruo be afraid of her? In her previous life, she had dominated the campus and business world, Ting Ruo had seen many talented people and noble women, Ting Ruo had made a name for herself with her own abilities. Li Man Shi was far inferior to Ting Ruos past opponents. Ting Ruo curtsied in respect, but in her original memories, she didnt have much of an impression of Li Man Shi, as if Li Man Shi suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Li Manruo said, "What are you doing here?" Her attitude towards Li Manshi was not much stronger than that of a maid. Li Manshis current status was all thanks to Li Manruo, so she replied respectfully, "Just now I vaguely heard sister mention the Empress Dowager..."
"Shut up." Li Man Shi rebuked fiercely, "When did I ever mention the Empress Dowager? The Empress Dowager is not someone to be discussed?"
Ding Rou hooked the corner of her mouth, took a step back, Li Man Shi should be here to help, but Li Man Ru didnt understand her words, serving a foolish legitimate daughter is a hard thing, Ding Rou thought of her past life when she went to make friends with rich young ladies for her ex-husband, there was one who had a similar temperament to Li Man Ru, always making things difficult for Ding Rou, Ding Rou smiled and tolerated it, then used her skills to make her suffer a big loss, in the circle of rich young ladies, Lis reputation was ruined, Ding Rou never suffered in vain, she always found a way to take revenge, the most annoying thing is that people who were calculated by Ding Rou still felt grateful to her, and couldnt discover that it was Ding Rou who had secretly set them up.
A person does not offend me, I do not let them offend others. If someone offends me, they will be repaid double. This has always been Ding Rous creed. In her past life, Ding Rou never suffered a loss even in the most difficult circumstances, and it is the same in this life. Ding Rou will never live a life of compromise and will not change her creed for anything. She lives a carefree and unrestrained life, and no one dares to provoke her.
"Its not about being a sister, but since DING Rou mentioned that the Great Ancestor Emperor chose the Great Ancestor Empress as his wife, and the Great Ancestor Empress was a goddess reincarnated, while DING Rou is just an ordinary woman, how can she be compared to the Great Ancestor Empress?"
Li Man Shi knew Li Man Rous temperament, so she said what she had to say in one breath, lest she misunderstood. It was not easy for Li Man Shi to be a younger sister to Li Man Rou, and she humbly lowered her head. Li Man Rou said, "If you dont tell me, I wont remember." Li Man Rou turned to Ding Ruo and said, "How can that be? Can a little concubine compare to the empress dowager? Did she have the vision of the empress dowager to see that the emperor was not ordinary and marry down? Ding Ruo, you overestimated yourself."
Li Manzhu laughed wildly, and Ding Rou said: "I am no match for Empress Taizu."
Ding Rou lowered her eyelids, waiting for the day when her husband would ascend to the throne as Emperor. She watched as he took in many concubines, favoring Huang Guifei and Hui Wang, while Taizu Empress could only come alone to Luofeng Mountain to clear her mind. Ding Rou thought that before all this happened, she would thoroughly cut off any potential threats... or perhaps, with a sly smile on her lips, she would take control of the government herself, or even ascend to the throne as a female Emperor - it wasnt impossible. Ding Rou felt a slight pang of regret, having crossed over too late and missed her chance.
Ding Ruo never had the ambition to be an empress, but if Ding Rong were in the position of Empress Taizu, she would not have been forced into a desperate situation before counterattacking. Instead, Ding Ruo would quietly cut off all the wings of the unfaithful man, making him understand that women should not be offended. Ding Ruo knew the process would be simple, but wouldnt it be more interesting and fulfilling?
Li Man Shi saw the smile at the corner of Ding Rous lips, and her disdainful intention was withdrawn. As a concubine-born daughter, how could Ding Rou have confidence different from that of a concubine-born daughter? Li Man Shi had a misconception that although Ding Rou said she couldnt compare to Empress Dowager Taizu on the surface, in her heart, she actually thought she was superior to Empress Dowager Taizu, or even more outstanding than her. Li Man Shi shook off the absurd idea in her head, thinking she must have overthought it and misjudged.
Li Manzhu thought she had struck a blow at Ding Rou, and said with a complacent smile: "Its good that you know, Ding Rou. Even the Empress Dowagers little toe is better than you."
Ding Rou smiled faintly and didnt speak, it was beneath her to be on the same level as Li Man Zhu. Ding Rou was busy and had no time to bother with Li Man Zhu, "Miss Li, if theres nothing else, Ill take my leave, I still need to prepare dinner at the manor."
Ding Ruo intentionally said that to increase Li Manzhus sense of satisfaction, to cover up past grievances and not to look for trouble. Li Manzhu indeed fell for it and hypocritically said: "Its really hard work, having to personally prepare dinner."
"Its not easy to come to Luofeng Mountain, I have some loose silver coins, just reward them, and add a good dish for dinner is also my intention." Li Manzhu threw the silver coins on the ground, sorry, her hand slipped.
