Qin Wanru just didn't understand that since she had no quarrel against Qi Rongzhi, why Qi Rongzhi would add fuel to the fire, give advice to Qin Yuru and happily see Qin Wanru falling into the despairing and painful hell! What kind of feeling Qi Rongzhi had at that time!
However, now she didn't want to figure it out. Someone was born to be evil. She could trample others except herself. She would treat these people she trampled as her stepping-stone. She would take it for granted when these people mired because of her.
Qin Wanru smiled slightly as her eyes looked sharper. She said, "Young Lady Qi, please leave now!"
Qi Rongzhi didn't expect that Qin Wanru would say so directly and refuse to save her face at this moment. Qi Rongzhi was so angry that her face turned white and her lips began to tremble. She said, "Qin Wanru, how, how dare you say to me like this?"
"Why not? Young Lady Qi, please realize where you are now and please
Then attending the banquet held by Duke Xing's Mansion had been settled. Because this time Duke Xing's Mansion not only sent the invitation card again but also let a nanny come to Qin's Mansion and invite them sincerely, Qin Huaiyong and Old Grandma had to agree. Duke Xing's Mansion was not better than Duke Yong's Mansion now. Although the current Duke Xing had accomplished nothing, the last two Duke Xing were the emperor's important councilors. Madam Di would not attend the banquet while Shui Ruolan would go in that she wasn't so obviously pregnant now. Qin Huaiyong and Old Grandma discussed and then decided to let Shui Ruolan take Qin Yuru and Qin Wanru to the banquet. By the way, they had to take Qi Rongzhi for she had met the nanny from Duke Xing's Mansion and even talked to her before. This time was an official debut of two ladies of Qin's Mansion. Therefore, Old Grandma really paid attention to it. She even asked her servants to invite
"Yes!" The cart driver answered as he looked at the old maid who just asked them. "You are from Qin's Mansion! Then please follow me. We would go that way for there are fewer people!" The old maid of Duke Xing's Mansion was so excited for she found them and pointed at a direction. She had asked many cart drivers along the road but no one was from Qin's Mansion. Now since she found them, she would show them the way to Duke Xing's Mansion first because of the requirement of her mansion. "Follow her!" Shui Ruolan said to the cart driver outside. The cart driver quickly turned the horse's head and drove in a lane beside, where there was a side entrance. However, it was obvious that not everyone could use that door to get in the mansion. The traffic was very busy at the main entrance but here it was not. When seeing the two carriages driving towards the side entrance, those madams and ladies who had been waiting here for a long time
"Yuru, you and Miss Qi may go, Wanru doesn't want to go. Let her stay with me!" Shui Ruolan smiled and said. Qin Yuru heaved a deep sigh of relief, because she was really afraid that Shui Ruolan would make her stay. If so, that would be terrible. It was not easy to get such an opportunity to show off, and she could not afford to waste it. She felt happy, but deliberately showed some unwillingness on her face. After a moment of hesitation, she said meekly, "Yes!" Today, Qi Rongzhi's manners were quite faultless. Before leaving with Qin Yuru, she even made a special bow to Shui Ruolan, then walked out with Qin Yuru. Both could be counted as outstanding beauties, had manners, were of the same height, and had their unique styles. So, they attracted the attention of those madams, who secretly asked about who they were exactly, and their engagement statuses. Qin Wanru and Shui Ruolan sat on the seats that were allocated
After saying this, Madam of Duke Xing also seemed to realize that she had said something improper, and snarled, "Why do you mean by fighting again? Master Hao just came home. Today, most of the visitors are women. Who is he brawling with this time? Did you see it clearly?" "Madam, I saw it clearly. It is Master Hao!" The old maid who was sweating and agitated, approached Madam of Duke Xing, and whispered a few words in her ears. Shocked, Madam of Duke Xing turned to Qin Wanru, who raised her head and blinked when she saw madam's shocked eyes. She lowered her head in confusion. After getting over the initial shock, Madam of Duke Xing eventually already calmed down. Walking over to Shui Ruolan, she said, "Madam Shui, accompany me to take a look!" Looking at her, she knew she had something to tell her. Shui Ruolan nodded and stood up. "Madams, I have to retire to deal with something. I will return to keep you company
After talking for a while, they then walked together. "Second Lady Qin, the Old Madam feels really sorry when she knew Master Hao hit the First Lady Qin. She wants to invite First Lady Qin to her court to see if she got hurt badly in person!" "It wasn't just Master Hao himself who caused this accident and moreover, my elder sister now is fine!" said Qin Wanru calmly. "According to Old Madam, she still worries about your elder sister and it would be better for her to see in person whether First Lady Qin got hurt badly!" answered the old maid with a smile. Qin Wanru frowned inconspicuously. Was this matter the same as the one happened in her previous life? The Old Madam of Duke Xing just met Qin Yuru and then favored her very much at the end. She even let Qin Yuru stay in Duke Xing's Mansion for a long time. Did Qin Yuru even postpone her wedding because of the Old Madam's favor towards her? She felt that this event
"I want to play with Hao'er!" Qin Wanru's pretty eyes ranged over all people in front of her and she had made a decision. She smiled and said, "Since Hao'er looks for me specifically, I should play with him!" "Second Sister, you are in Duke Xing's Mansion!" Qin Yuru scolded her with her face turning black. "I could play with him in Rui'an Great Elder Princess' Mansion but why couldn't I do it now? Is it only because I am in Duke Xing's Mansion now?" Qin Wanru asked directly as she raised her head and looked into Qin Yuru's eyes with a half smile. The servant girl of Duke Xing's Mansion was to persuade her but she was lost for words when hearing what Qin Wanru said. Although Duke Xing's Mansion was a prosperous aristocrat family, Rui'an Great Elder Princess' Mansion was much more respectful and honorable. "Qin Wanru! What do you want? Here is Duke Xing's Mansion!" Qin Yuru walked towards Qin Wanru, lowered her voice and scolded
The high screen wall just stood at the center of the yard and totally blocked the view of the buildings in it, filled with words of different sizes and different styles. Qin Wanru could not help getting closer. She stared at the characters on the wall, which looked very powerful, showing that they were from a man whose wrist was brawny. However, the styles of these works were slightly different from each other. It seemed that the one who did them had started from the right side and went to the left, and those written words became more and more powerful and mature, and better. From these beautiful and vigorous characters, it could be seen that the one who wrote them was quite skilled in calligraphy. The screen wall was used for practicing calligraphy. Qin Wanru had heard that some masters from aristocratic families would use one screen wall to do calligraphy in their court. However, she had never known that someone would use such a great wall to do this wh
"Second Lady Qin, Hao'er is still young. If he offends you, please forgive him. He still doesn't know how to behave properly. It is very inappropriate for him to take you here!" Madam of Duke Xing said calmly as she walked. What she meant was that it was impolite for Qin Wanru to follow Shao Yuanhao here as Qin Wanru was older than Shao Yuanhao. Was this why Madam of Duke Xing came here in a hurry? She turned slightly and looked at the house behind her. It was a great court but its master had gone. Though the master has passed away, the style of the court remained the same, which showed that the mansion thought a great deal of its master. "Yes, you are right. I didn't know people were forbidden from coming here," answered Qin Wanru lightly as a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. "It is a forbidden area in the mansion. People in this mansion can't even come in and out casually. Hao'er is still a brat and he sometim
"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
