Neither brocade nor desserts on the table had been put away.
A cat coming from nowhere sneaked in and jumped on the table. When Qin Wanru and two girl servants rushed over, everything on the table had been messed up.
The desserts' crumbs were on the brocade, which, had been scratched and had holes. In a word, the room had been messed up, but that cat scampered several times, jumped on the windowsill even as several people worked together to catch it, and then licked its paw.
"Quick, catch it, it broke the miss' brocade."
"I can't catch it; it jumps too fast; it... also broke the plate, what shall we do?"
"It doesn't matter. The plate is nothing, but the brocade will cause trouble!"
"The brocade are already in our mansion. Even if they are broken... it shouldn't be troublesome, should it?" ...
Hearing the discussion of the principal maids catching and panting in the room, the girl servan
That Young Madam was the most embarrassed, for she had said such horrible things in others' mansion and was caught red-handed by an elder. She blushed and lowered her head. In her hand, she twisted the handkerchief. She had come to realize that she was only a spectator, and it was wrong for her to intervene in the matter. She took a step back and gave back the ground to Di Fenglan and the Qin sisters. She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger, which was nearly out of control. She looked at Qin Wanru with vigilance. Unconsciously, she had let the Second Miss not only play with her emotions but also provoke her. "Father, the Second Sister borrowed a plate from me, and it is now broken. However, when I lent it to her, I had reminded her that this was a gift from the royals. She had to be careful. She said she would only use it for one day, but now it is broken. What's to be done about this?" When Qin Huaiyong c
"This is the betrothal gift from Duke Yong's Mansion to Yuru? Why didn't I know about such an important matter?" Qin Huaiyong asked sharply. He put the plate on Madam Di's table and looked at her gloomily. "Ge-general!" Madam Di panicked and stood up. "My sister-in-law sent it over. I wanted to tell you but I didn't have the time to do so!" The words had been rehearsed. Despite her panicking, Madam Di knew what to say. "What about the betrothal gift list?" Qin Huaiyong was not easily fooled. His expression was gloomier than ever. "It's not done yet, and sister-in-law said that she would send it over in two days!" Madam Di twitched and said hurriedly. "Duke Yong's Mansion was so generous to offer a royal gift as a betrothal gift. They don't even have a list to send it out. In that case, Duke Yong's Mansion was considered to have lost the royal gift, and that's unfaithful to the royals!" Qin Huaiyong l
"What happened?" Madam Di was shocked. She could no longer pay attention to Nanny Zhou and she rushed out of the house. "Madam, someone is proposing marriage to the First Miss!" The girl servant rushed and kneeled in front of Madam Di, her face pale. "Who is it?" Madam Di held onto the servant and hastily asked. "I don't know. It was chaotic. Even the general was alarmed and brought the man into the study. Many gathered outside the mansion, gossiping about the affair between the First Miss and that man. That man claimed he had exchanged gifts with the First Miss. When he was at the entrance, he even took out a hair clasp from our mansion!" The servant girl gasped and held her collar up. Her face was a bit pale as she was out of breath. "Yuru's hair clasp?" As Madam Di let go of the servant, her leg wobbled before she stabilized herself again. "Yes, it is said that the First Miss sent it out privately
When Qin Wanru reached the study, she was led by a servant from the side door. She saw a screen, and Qin Yuru sat there, frustrated. The servant pointed to another chair and gestured for her to sit there. Qin Wanru nodded silently and sat down. Qin Yuru glanced at her angrily and continued to listen to the movement behind the screen. "You said that this is cousin's hair clasp, what is the evidence?" Qin Wanru strained her ears and heard Di Yan's voice first. Her eyes darkened as Di Yan seemed to be more dissatisfied with Qin Yuru. Otherwise, he would not have intervened in the matter. At this time, even if Di Yan was full of doubts, he should avoid it. Going directly to the study and intervene in the matter showed his impoliteness. In other words, he could no longer control his dissatisfaction with Qin Yuru. "Well, the First Miss and I fell in love at first sight. When we met, we exchan
Qin Huaiyong was a military officer, which was different from the other civil officials in the study. Behind him was a sword hanging on the wall. As Qin Wanru passed the wall just now, she took it down, and put it right on the neck of the man. Feeling the chill on his neck as well as the glistening cold light from the blade, the man stood there with his whole body stiff. "Father, this guy must have been incited by someone. He deliberately entered our mansion with the excuse of the lost hair clasp of Big Sister so that he could assassinate you. If you kill him by mistake, it doesn't count for much." Qin Wanru looked back with a smile, her face was so beautiful, like blooming flowers. In striking contrast, Qin Yuru was blue in the face and could do nothing about it. Qin Huaiyong knew her plans, so he nodded. "He is just a nobody, father can kill him as easy as rolling off a log." "Father, killing him is not enough, you can also c
Qin Wanru followed Qin Huaiyong to go out. And when she went out of the house, she only saw Qin Yuru crying on Madam Di, whose face was livid and whose body was trembling. A servant lay on the ground. It was the servant that Qin Huaiyong had sent out before. Mei Xue knelt on the ground to ask for forgiveness, and it could be seen that she was slapped in the face by Qin Yuru, therefore, one side of her face was swollen. Qin Huaiyong asked in a harsh voice, "What's going on?" Before the servant could say anything, Madam Di shrieked and grabbed the words. "General, I... I want to go to Duke Yong's Mansion!" Qin Huaiyong frowned and asked in a cold voice, "Why do you want to go there at this special time?" Madam Di was so angry that she didn't call Countess Yong sister-in-law, she just took her surname instead. "I... I'm going to ask Madam Shi what's in her mind. She framed both Yuru and me more than once, now she eve
"Mother, what does Madam Shi mean? What a vicious little bitch does she take a fancy to? How dare she treat me and Yuru like that! Mother, you should redress the scales. The general severely reprimanded me before I came here and said that if Madam Shi does that again, I shall never have a connection with Duke Yong's Mansion. Mother, what... what should I do now?" Madam Di cried and fell in front of the old lady. Madam Di went to meet the old lady and told her the whole story as soon as she arrived at Duke Yong's mansion. The old lady was extremely angry about the fact that Countess Yong did such a vicious thing together with Ning Caixian, and then she also blamed Qin's Mansion for damaging the royal gifts. The old lady severely smashed her crutch on the ground and she said with a fierce voice, "Go... call Madam Shi here!" The old lady had only one daughter. And Madam Di, her only daughter, was the apple of her eye. Had it not been for the sp
The lofty imperial palace was tall, with layers of steps. Two rows of imperial servants lowered their heads and stood respectfully, not daring to move. The gate of the upper palace opened wide, and Empress Dowager sat in the main hall. Around her were several beautiful and charming imperial concubines, who were talking with Empress Dowager to amuse her. The Queen also sat beside Empress Dowager, but she didn't look well. Although she also smiled, the smile was a little stiff. She felt humiliated for being reprimanded by Empress Dowager just now. Looking at the several concubines who were talking to Empress Dowager with enthusiasm, she was somewhat gloomy. A maid rushed in and said, "Empress Dowager, Prince Chen is here!" Empress Dowager said urgently, "Invite him in quickly!" She sat up straight and seemed to look forward to seeing him. Such an expression made the Queen even more resentful. Prince Ch
"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
