"Madam, you can just leave it alone. Old Madam has warned that don't spread it around. You can hardly manage it!" The old maid lowered her voice and answered prudently.
Then she gave a glance at Nanny Zhou who stood aside.
Nanny Zhou was very shrewd and she quickly responded. "Don't worry, Madam. I shall keep my mouth shut!"
Madam Di paused for a moment and as she got clear, she didn't continue to ask.
"How can we send our people out here? Now he doesn't allow my people to walk out at all and he doesn't come here! Obviously, he now decides to stick up for that b*tchy Shui Ruolan!"
Shifting her focus back, Madam Di said resentfully with a fierce look while pulling embroidery threads on the corner of the quilt with her finger severely.
"Don't worry, Madam. These two servant girls are sent by our mansion to take care of you. Old Madam has said that you are still unable to leave but our mansion will send
"Madam, when the first lady comes next time, you can find a way to let her check those shops. You have been in the capital city for a long time but you have no time to see them. If you let her take a look at your shops and find out everything is fine, you will be at ease!" Thinking for a while, Nanny Zhou answered. "Great! I will take your advice!" Madam Di nodded and replied. Compared with others, Madam Di absolutely trusted Qin Yuru more. Walking towards Qin Huaiyong's study room with the two servant girls, the old maid suddenly found out that except for Qin Huaiyong's servant, there was another servant girl standing outside the door while going to the door. The old maid had a good memory and she realized that she once saw this servant girl in Second Lady Qin's court. "Excuse me, would you please report to the general that I am the supervisor of Duke Yong's Mansion who brings two servant girls to look after Mada
Walking out the room, Qin Wanru saw the two servant girls still standing in the yard. Although they had been standing for a very long time, they still stood straight and still. Qin Wanru walked towards them. Yujie looked around and quickly followed her lady. "Are you the two servant girls sent by Duke Yong's Mansion?" Qin Wanru looked them up and down and then she set her eyes on the last servant girl's face. They both looked pretty but one of them not only was prettier but also looked kinder and nicer. Those ladies from normal families also looked like this. Her skin was white but not pale. Her eyes were crystal-like and charming. With a slender waist, she was so attractive and charming even though she was just standing there. "What are your names?" "I am Hongye." "I am Huangrui!" Hearing her question, they quickly responded reverently. They looked quite soft and tender, which would ma
"But... It is not a simple thing to grow flowers from the seeds, isn't it?" Qin Wanru said, glancing at the small bag of flower seeds in her hands. She still felt that people who sent them the seeds must have some ulterior motives. "Miss, many people in the capital city have invited some experienced gardeners because they expect those gardeners to help them cultivate the Tang Qianyan. Do you also need to find a gardener? I'm afraid that others will have already taken all the good ones away if you're late!" Nanny Yu reminded her. On her way back, she heard that several gardeners who were good at raising flowers and plants had accepted the invitations. "No, thanks!" Qin Wanru thought for a while and shook her head. "Why not? Miss, although there are servants who do the gardening in our manor, they are not professional. In particular, Tang Qianyan is a very delicate flower, so I suppose that we should find a specially-assigned person to plant i
"But you haven't bought it yet. How can you say that it's your lady's?" Seeing that their Miss was at a disadvantage, a servant girl behind Gu Xishu stood out to defend her. She glared at Qin Wanru and Yujie as if they were the ones who robbed. Qin Wanru drew back her sight from Wen Xichi and landed Gu Xishu's face. At this time, her arched eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and the rims of her eyes became a little red. Gu Xishu looked as if she had been greatly wronged. Qin Wanru lifted her lips a little. Her eyes looked calm and deep. "Young Madam, I saw this hairpin first, and I asked the shop-boy to take it out. Can you let me see it first?" It was Qin Wanru who saw it first, and it was Qin Wanru who let the shop-boy take it out. Typically, it meant that Qin Wanru had reserved it. No other guests were allowed to take it unless Qin Wanru gave it up. Wen Xichi's attention was now switching from Yujie to Qin Wanru. At first, he didn'
Qin Wanru turned to look at who had grabbed the hairpin. When she discovered who the person was, she couldn't help sighing in her heart, "Today is not a lucky day for me to go out. Otherwise, how can I come across so many acquaintances?" "And this one is also not a person to be trifled with." The person was Chu Liuxin, also called Prince Xin, the fourth son of the emperor. Qin Wanru left no good impression to him when they were in the Rui'an Great Elder Princess. Perhaps, it was because his thing triggered the thing about Shao Yuanhao. It made him feel embarrassed, and then he put the blame on Qin Wanru. "This is a nice hairpin. I will take it!" Chu Liuxin instantly grabbed the hairpin and gave Qin Wanru a challenging look. Just like Wen Xichi, he recognized Qin Wanru only when he saw Yujie. When Wen Xichi went out, he came in. Thus, he missed the whole thing. But since he had recognized Qin Wanru, he did not plan to let her go
The next moment, the horse-drawn carriage of Prince Chen's Mansion rushed over and blocked the location where the horse-drawn carriage of Prince Xin's Mansion stopped just now, with the two carriages' windows directly facing each other. Qin Wanru heard the knock on the carriage window, raised half of the curtain helplessly, and saw the handsome but somber, cold face of Chu Liuchen, who raised his eyes to stare at her eerily. Seeing this look, she knew who offended him. Qin Wanru couldn't help heaving a sigh to admit her bad luck. The eye-catching bright-red costume, with golden obscure patterns embroidered on the edge of the collar, gave off exceptional resplendence, making his face look as pale as the snow, without a trace of blood, but its beholders felt that his countenance was exquisite and stunning. Qin Wanru couldn't help praising him. "With such a look, this man is stunning in another sense." With such a countenance, even an ordinary
The attitude and behavior were respectful and polite. Those who saw them on the road gave him the thumbs up silently, thinking Duke Xing was an example of a good temper. A few other courtiers watched him from a distance, feeling aggrieved for him. He was an important courtier, but Prince Chen was only a deposed carefree prince. Without the special favor of the Empress Dowager and the emperor, he would only be a sick person without anything indeed. "Duke Xing, this imperial physician was found by you!" After a low cough, Chu Liuchen spoke more mildly, "Duke Xing, you did a good job, but I know my condition. In the future, please don't invite the so-called miracle-working physicians to the palace anymore!" "Prince, how can you belittle yourself like this? No doubt, you will be cured. The emperor will look for famous physicians across the nation to treat you." Duke Xing spoke seriously, but he didn't deny the fact th
"Second Miss, you are exceptionally beautiful. Wearing the two dresses that are different from the dressing styles in the capital city makes the dresses even more appealing instantly. By then, you will only need to say that these dresses are from Butterfly Clothing Shop!" Madame Dong said profoundly. Madame Dong eyed Qin Wanru's stunning little face, which was beautiful when she was either angry or pleased. These dresses were very fairylike, and they were in harmony with Qin Wanru's countenance. Madame Dong believed her eyes. "As long as Second Miss wears these clothes, the cloth and its brand will become famous in the capital, and the name of Butterfly Clothing Shop will also be known instantly." Even if few people knew its name and few Misses came to buy their clothes in the past, Butterfly Clothing Shop's name would be known after the banquet. "Then, let's do it. What about opening tomorrow?" "Okay, tomorrow is good. Will yo
"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
