"What? Marquis Xing's Mansion is going to break up today?"
"Aren't they holding the funeral of the former Madam of Marquis Xing, Madam Jiang? Instead of holding the funeral, they're breaking up the family?"
"What? Third Madam can't bear to see a mistress of Marquis Xing take charge of the internal affairs of the mansion in the next few days, so she insisted on separating from the family. That's why the mansion is breaking up?"
"What... what's going on? Madam Jiang has just died. How could they let a mistress marry into the family and take charge of the family affairs?
"What Marquis Xing's Mansion is doing is truly improper. No wonder the third branch has to separate from the family. If they stay together, they may do something absurd..."
Many people listened to the words of the servants of the third branch. They whispered to each other and pointed at Marquis Xing's Mansion. What Marquis Xing had done was really
There was a lot of money left in that treasury, at least one-fourth of Chu Qing's property. It had been managed by Wei Dahai's madam before, and of course, Mo Qiuyi had been in charge. Unexpectedly, this treasury had been confiscated entirely. Chu Qing didn't even know who did it.After that, he secretly sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find anything, so he could only let it go.Consort Dowager Qing got angry. She had asked Wei Dahai to prepare some new funds to offset the loss this time. However, Wei Dahai was useless. He took a fancy to that store, which Princess Chen obtained in the end. Therefore, Consort Dowager Qing didn't get any benefits. Every time she thought of this incident, she couldn't help resenting Mo Qiuyi.The gold bars, bracelets, and other gold bricks in the treasury were all solid. Originally, they were very useful for the revival of the mansion. Because of the loss of this treasury, Consort Dowager Qing
Shao Wanru didn't expect to see E'niang so soon, whose identity was different today. She was no longer the mistress as the alleged daughter of the imperial censor.Today was the day when E'niang and her daughter would be recorded in the family tree, and only E'niang came. Her daughter had also entered Marquis Xing's Mansion, but she was so seriously ill that she couldn't even get up. E'niang could only get this done alone.Shao Wanru didn't expect to see not only the elders but also Madam Wen, who looked solemn, here. She smiled silently.It was Gu Xishu who followed Madam Wen. She sat next to Madam Wen while looking very weak and well-behaved. She also looked extremely gentle when she looked up. If Shao Wanru had not dealt with her in this life and the last life, she would have been confused by her appearance. But now she did not need to deal with her in person. Her identity was enough to make Gu Xishu stay away from her.S
Madam Wen coughed in a low voice and said implicitly, "It's not good for them to keep arguing like this, Your Highness.""Well, what's not good about it?" Shao Wanru rolled her watery eyes and said with a little apology, "I was thinking about Grandma's health just now, so I didn't pay attention to what is going on. Are they arguing?"Madam Wen was secretly angry. She didn't expect Shao Wanru to not notice such a loud noise until now.Madam Wen took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said with a smile, "It's not appropriate for them to quarrel like this. It will damage the reputation of Marquis Xing's Mansion.""The reputation of Marquis Xing's Mansion? Thank you for your concern, Madam Wen. In fact, how much reputation do we have left now?" Shao Wanru said bluntly with a cold look in her eyes. She smiled slightly.Madam Wen was rendered speechless and thought that as the daughter of the Shao F
There was indeed such a saying back then.Imperial Censor Lu was demoted. In the chaos, one of his daughters was missing. At that time, he had asked some old friends in the capital city to look for her, and many aristocratic families knew it.After that, they couldn't find her, and the matter remained unsettled.The reason why E'niang was quickly believed by many people was that there was such a past.Imperial Censor Lu was demoted from the capital and could not come back again. Now there was a Miss in the capital city who claimed to be his daughter, and her age matched. Even the wet nurse who was lost at that time said so, so people thought that it was true.Shao Wanru smiled slightly and calmly fanned the round fan in her hand a few times, making herself feel cool. She watched the situation quietly.With such unexpected twists and turns, she wanted to see how Shao Jing would deal with this.
Shao Wanru looked at Shao Jing fearlessly and said without dodging his eyes, "Second Uncle, why are you afraid of me talking about it? Could it be that what Second Aunt said at the gate by then is true?""Even... even if you're doing this for your own, you should take Hao'er into consideration." Shao Jing gritted his teeth in anger."Don't worry, Second Uncle. I agree with everything my sister said." Shao Yuanhao stood up and stood beside Shao Wanru. The young boy was not short anymore. Standing beside Shao Wanru, although his face was childish, he looked fearless. He was no longer the child who was only interested in playing."If you can find out the cause of my father's and mother's death, I will thank you, Second Uncle. As for this woman, since she has something to do with my mother, please allow me to deal with her," Shao Yuanhao said coldly."You... How dare you!" Shao Jing was so angry that he felt blood in his throat.
Chu Liuchen walked in slowly, looking elegant and noble.After walking up to Shao Wanru, he slowly turned his head, reached out to hold Shao Wanru's hand, and took a few steps toward Shao Jing. He looked up slightly, revealing a lazy smile. His eyes were as dark as ink. "Are you... going to fight with me, Marquis Xing?"He waved his hand, and his guards stepped back.When Shao Jing saw Chu Liuchen, he felt like he had been splashed with a basin of ice water and got sober. At the same time, he motioned for his people to step back and bowed to Chu Liuchen. "Greetings, Your Highness Prince Chen.""Did my lady offend you?" Chu Liuchen asked curiously."No... no. I went too far just now. Your Highness Princess Chen, please forgive me." Shao Jing lowered his head and apologized to Shao Wanru."Second Uncle, I also went too far just now!" Shao Wanru said softly. Her gentle look was no longer as aggressive
"Your Highness Prince Chen and Princess Chen!" Shao Jing strode over. He bowed to them, reached out to point at the upper floor, and said, "Your Highness, do you want to go up there? I'll ask someone to clean it up first."Chu Liuchen didn't say anything. He glanced at the upper floor lazily and waved his hand, signaling Shao Jing to rise.Shao Wanru looked at Shao Jing calmly for a while and said, "We shouldn't trouble you, Second Uncle. I just felt strange when I walked here and found that the door is locked!""This place is filled with sundries, which are aged ones. If you want them, I'll ask some servants to sort them out and send them to Prince Chen's Mansion. Some of them belong to Eldest Brother, and I don't usually use them," Shao Jing said gently."Thank you, Second Uncle!" Shao Wanru nodded.Shao Jing pointed to the main room and said with a kind smile. "Your Highness, why don't you take a seat? I'll a
Nanny Wei covered her chest tightly and curled up motionlessly, for fear that people outside the curtain would see her.She had come into the room to get a pastry box, but when she heard the conversation in the room, she immediately stopped. She felt dizzy and her face turned pale. Something big had happened in Marquis Xing's Mansion, and she had to find a way to tell her nephew so that he would not get involved in it. She had heard from her nephew before that he seemed to have a good relationship with Marquis Xing.The conversation was still going on. The people who spoke were doing chitchats and no longer talked about the affairs of Marquis Xing's Mansion. Nanny Wei pressed her chest hard to suppress the shock, carefully turned around, and went back inside the curtain. After calming herself down for a long time, she walked out with a relaxed look and light steps.After talking for a while, the Empress Dowager looked tired.
"Not yet. My leg just cramped up." Shao Wanru reached out to touch her calf, but her belly was too big to reach it.The Emperor reached out his strong hand and massaged her calf. The young and handsome Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. "Thankfully, you are not going to deliver the baby!"As soon as he said this, Chu Liuchen realized he had said something wrong. He hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that. It's good that you are not delivering the baby now."After saying that, he realized that something was wrong again and laughed.Shao Wanru laughed so hard that she couldn't speak. Since when did Chu Liuchen, who was as scheming and gloomy as a demon king, could not even speak clearly?"You're still laughing. Did I say anything wrong?" Chu Liuchen glared at her. However, with an elegant smile on his face, he didn't look domineering at all.Shao Wanru continued laughing happily. After a while, she s
Everything in the past had a cause, but this cause was concealed in many mists, so it appeared unreal.After reading the letter in her hand, Shao Wanru put it down with a trace of a smile across the corners of her eyes. She had been relieved of some things. Once she hoped that Qin Huaiyong would treat her like Qin Yuru.This was what she hoped for most in her last life. After all, at that time, she had always thought that she was Qin Huaiyong's biological daughter, and she had no idea that her identity had been seized by Qin Yuru. Right now, Shao Wanru didn't want to mention it again. After the rebirth, she found out the truth and could not be reluctant to get close to Qin Huaiyong anymore.The memories of her last life were fading away, and they become blurred in her eyes.Putting down the memorial in her hand, Shao Wanru smiled with an elegant and calm look in her eyes. "Madam, please pass my gratitude to Ningyuan Army Gen
Shui Ruolan followed the Nanny who led the way ahead and felt uneasy. Since she came to the capital, she occasionally associated with some Madams from aristocratic families. She would not attend their parties unless it was necessary.On the one hand, she always had a weak character. On the other hand, every time she joined them, some Madams always asked about Madam Di intentionally or unintentionally. They were polite to Shui Ruolan on the surface, but they sneered at her behind her back when talking about her.People in the capital thought that Madam Di was Qin Huaiyong's legal wife. Shui Ruolan was a divorced woman. How could she compare with a decent Madam from an aristocratic family? Her status was much lower than Madam Di's. Of course, there were some people who flattered her. They were two-bit nobodies who wanted to curry favor with Qin Huaiyong.This was the first time Shui Ruolan had entered the Palace since she came to the capit
"Yes, Her Highness fainted. Hurry up... Inform His Highness to go to see her. Mingqiu Nun is also there... Hurry up!" Yujie was so excited that she spoke incoherently."Are you stupid?" Xiao Xuanzi looked at Yujie as if she were a fool."Quick! It's true. Believe me." Yujie was overjoyed and kept urging."His Highness will get angry," Xiao Xuanzi reminded Yujie.Yujie blinked her eyes in confusion. "Go quickly. His Highness will be happy.""His Highness will be angry!" Xiao Xuanzi said loudly. He thought that Yujie was out of her mind. What nonsense she was talking about! Xiao Xuanzi had seen with his own eyes how his master treasured Princess Chen. Princess Chen fainted now, but Yujie said that Prince Chen would be happy. What could he be happy for?Xiao Xuanzi felt a chill on his back. He even thought that he might not be safe. Instead, this silly girl was giggling here.Yujie looked
The swing swayed slowly. Shao Wanru sat on it and slightly narrowed her clear eyes in the sun, enjoying the gentle breeze. After a shower, the sky cleared up. Under the blue sky, she felt quite pleasant.It was the third day since the violent political upheaval in the Palace. Everything had returned to the right path, and the Emperor had woken up. The Fake Dead Medicine was remarkably effective.Chu Qing planned to kill the Emperor and shift the blame onto Chu Liuyue. In the end, he occupied the Palace, but at the last moment, Chu Liuchen changed the ultimate outcome.Chu Qing was not the deceased emperor's son. As the truth was exposed, he became a surviving supporter of the previous dynasty.Consort Dowager Qing had an affair with the prince of the previous dynasty on the run and was pregnant. After that, she met the deceased emperor, who had come to wipe out the rebels. She seduced him and entered the Palace. Not long aft
Chu Liuyue looked at the Emperor indifferently. During this period, the Emperor often vomited blood. He was used to such a scene. He fainted again, but so what?He walked up to pull the Emperor up and said, "Father, you'd better write it carefully so as not to cause me more trouble..."The next moment, his hand paused before the Emperor. Abruptly, Chu Liuyue reached out to feel his breath, and his face changed drastically."Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Derong was terrified and looked at Chu Liuyue. Likewise, he reached out to feel the Emperor's breath and knelt on the ground in a panic. "His Majesty... passed away!"Chu Liuyue looked sullen and reached out to feel his breath again. He found it hard to believe that the Emperor would die of anger because of him. Although he had said he was not afraid of this result, it became more difficult for him to clear up such a messy situation when the Emperor died. Since he was in t
Lights of every palace in the imperial Palace went out at night. There was a great noise somewhere. When the first scream came, many people put on their clothes and lit the lights again.These women in the Palace looked ghastly pale. They wanted to hide elsewhere but couldn't find shelter in the darkness. They trembled and huddled together, not knowing what had happened. Anyway, it didn't sound like a good thing. How could such a lot of awful noise appear in the Palace? The first idea that came to many people was that a rebellion was happening.In the night, Zhaoyi Di hurriedly followed a eunuch carrying a lantern and went to a palace out of use.Chu Liuyue was sitting in the middle of the hall."Greetings, Your Highness!" Zhaoyi Di said."How is it going?" Chu Liuyue asked."Commandery Prince Cheng has taken some people to the Emperor's resting place!" Zhaoyi Di reported."Good, well d
"From the previous dynasty?" Shao Wanru looked up. Though she was surprised, she didn't show it. She had figured it out. But after confirming it, she was wide awake."Will the Empress Dowager be in danger? I'll go to the Palace every day in the next few days!" Shao Wanru suggested."No, it's too dangerous!" Chu Liuchen shook his head."It doesn't matter. I have helpers by my side and bracelets!" Shao Wanru reached out her hand and cutely shook it. There was a pair of glossy sapphire bracelets on her wrist. At a glance, they were not ordinary.Chu Liuchen said with his face darkening, "No!"Such a close-fitting concealed weapon should be the last resort. As long as he thought Shao Wanru would be in such a dangerous situation, he would not be at ease. "Let Qin Yiyan accompany my Imperial Grandmother!""But someone should accompany and protect Noble Consort Lan. If those people deal with her..." Shao W
"Master, there is something wrong with the sandalwood." Qi Jue pulled an incense stick out of the incense burner at hand.Chu Liuchen took it and frowned. "What's the problem?"Qi Jue replied with a serious look, "There is something added to it. If it is used for a long term, one will be mentally and physically exhausted, then lack strength, and spit out blood. If putting another ingredient into the medicine at this time, it is very likely to cause sudden death."On the bed, the Emperor leaned against Noble Consort Lan with a pale face. Just now, he spat out blood again, and he felt very uncomfortable all over.Noble Consort Lan stroked the Emperor hard while looking toward Chu Liuchen with her red eyes, but she did not speak."What was added?" Chu Liuchen asked sternly. He didn't trust the imperial physicians in the Palace, so he brought Qi Jue to the Palace. After entering the Palace, Qi Jue did not check the
