As she nodded, Qin Wanru went in with the servant girl and came to the back of Old Madam Qin.
When Old Madam Qin saw Qin Wanru, her slightly pale face was relaxed. She held Qin Wanru's hands with her slightly cold hands and whispered, "Zhuozhuo, where have you been?"
The sweat on her cold palms suggested that the old lady was scared!
"I just took a walk." Qin Wanru smiled and comforted Old Madam Qin. She knew that the thing that happened outside just now must have come to Old Madam Qin's ears and scared her.
"Did anyone want to frame you?" Shui Ruolan looked gloomy and also heaved a sigh of relief as she saw Qin Wanru now.
It was not convenient for her and Madam Dowager to leave, for they only had one servant and could not leave, but they heard the madams and Misses talking about the matter of Wang Shengxue as they came in sporadically. The two of them were so worried but didn't know where to look for Qin Wanru. <
"Madam, this Old Madam's gift to First Miss Qi!" Nanny Yu came over, bowed to Madam of Duke Xing, took out a gift box from a servant girl behind her, opened it, and handed it over. The nearby ladies watched here and saw a pair of beautiful crystal-clear jade bracelets, and they could find it must be fine work. But such fine work was nothing for the Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion and did not look exceptionally precious. The crowd couldn't help turning their eyes to the other gift box in another servant girl's hands. "Thank Old Madam now!" Madam of Duke Xing said with a smile, asking a servant girl to take the gift box and pass it to Chunyi who followed Qi Rongzhi. Chunyi took it gingerly and backed to the side. "Thank Old Madam for the gift!" Qi Rongzhi bowed gently and said happily, but she didn't expect such good luck. Madam of Duke Xing appreciated her, Old Madam had also sent a gift, and so many guests had seen it. This wa
Old Madam Qin only ate a little and rose to bid goodbye. No matter how Madam of Duke Xing persuaded her to stay, she only said she was unwell and needed to leave early. Seeing Old Madam Qin's unusual pale face, Madam of Duke Xing had no reason to let her stay and asked a servant to see them off. Since every other people of Qin's Mansion wanted to leave, Qin Yuru couldn't stay any longer and had to come out with Old Madam Qin. The old maid of Duke Xing's Mansion led the way and went straight to the parking space of Duke Xing's Mansion. On the road, Qin Yuru kept a straight face and didn't care about what Old Madam Qin said. At first glance, one could find she was angry with Old Madam Qin, who had something annoying on her mind, knew they were outside their mansion, and had no suitable reasons to argue with her. They were guests who left first, and no other people left at this time. On the way, they only met several servant girls
"What kind of people are Wanru's parents?" Shui Ruolan said in astonishment. Despite her face turning pale slightly, she still asked based on Madam Dowager's words. "That year, the rebel forces rose in revolt, and the war was raging at the frontier. Several cities were even conquered by the rebel forces. There were refugees everywhere as well as some army movements. Zhuozhuo's father was transferred to our city at that time. Because the war was in an emergency, he temporarily lived in our mansion..." Old Madam Qin recalled, looking at somewhere in the air, with slight bitterness in her eyes! At that time, everyone was deterred by the danger. No one knew whether the rebel forces would conquer the city, because several cities had been conquered in the end. The city was full of refugees and the family members of some soldiers who fled there. Qin Wanru's father was transferred to Qin Huaiyong's army at that time. With no place to l
Yujie reached out to stop Qin Yuru and stared coldly at her, which made her even more annoyed. Even Qin Wanru's maid was so arrogant. She decided to break Yujie's leg after returning home. There was sharp resentment across Qin Wanru's eyes. She had known clearly about the intention of Qin Yuru and Madam Di. In the last life, they actually did what they wanted and finally pushed her into the blood abyss step by step. "Qin Yuru, just wait and see!" She closed her eyes and ignored Qin Yuru. "Hey, Qin Wanru..." Qin Yuru became increasingly annoyed and frustrated. She considered that she returned home in glory now, but ignored by Qin Wanru, which made her feel like punching hard on the cotton. Qin Wanru leaned to one side, turned her back to her and kept ignoring her. "Qin Wanru, how dare you ignore me!" Qin Yuru said angrily, and reached out to push Qin Wanru again. "Stop!" Qin Wanru suddenly turned arou
Qin Wanru got on Madam Dowager's carriage, and Qin Yuru got on the rear carriage alone. As the carriages slowly moved forward, everyone relaxed their hold and watched the carriages go away. After that, they started to talk about the two Young Madams of the Qin's Mansion in groups of three and four. The First Miss was so arrogant, while the Second Miss was so pitiful. As expected the Second Miss wasn't the biological daughter of the Qin's Mansion, so the people of the Qin's Mansion didn't treat her very well. They could tell that she probably lived a poor life in the Qin's Mansion. But even so, she still maintained her good manners. Everyone thought that Qin Yuru had only herself to blame for the broken bracelets and it was all her fault. No one felt sorry for her or showed sympathy with her, even she finally left with red eyes. Upstairs in the jade shop, the window facing the street was open. Someone looked coldly down with his
It turned out to be the voice of Shui Ruolan. No one in the room expected that Shui Ruolan would say such tough words. Shui Ruolan had always left an impression that she was gentle, delicate and weak. No matter after or before marrying into the Qin's Mansion, she did not have a strong sense of existence in the mansion. She basically had no objection to the decisions made by Madam Dowager and Qin Huaiyong. She rarely lodged an objection openly like this. Even when Qin Huaiyong frowned and looked at her, she still stared at Qin Huaiyong without dodging his eyes. Everyone could see the anger on her face and in her gentle eyes. Qin Wanru suddenly realized something and approached her calmly. Shui Ruolan was pregnant, so great mood fluctuations would do harm to her! "Mother, husband, it's not Wanru's fault. So many people saw that the bracelets were broken by Yuru. She drove Wanru off the carriage on the street, and then dragged Wan
Qionghua and Yujie both hurried out. Qin Wanru asked several inferior old maids at the door to move Shui Ruolan to an empty yard beside them. After being moved to the bed, Shui Ruolan was still awake, grasping Qin Wanru's wrist firmly with a pale face. "Mother, you have me and the unborn little brother!" Qin Wanru lowered her head, stared firmly at her and whispered in her ear. "My belly... hurts..." With her pale forehead dripping with sweat, Shui Ruolan laboriously said in a hoarse voice. "Mother, relax. You'll be fine. Nothing will happen. I've studied medical skills with Mingqiu Nun." Qin Wanru appeased her softly with a smile, "Close your eyes for a while, and then you'll be fine. Nothing will happen!" As she said, she reached out to rub the acupuncture points on Shui Ruolan's forehead, while asking, "Mother, do you feel better now? Do you feel less pain?" She said that in a soft voice and a gen
"Yong'er, tell me, why does Old Madam of Duke Xing value Yuru so much? I heard that this Old Madam hasn't been in charge of the domestic affairs for years, and even didn't show up when some relatives visited Duke Xing's Mansion. Why does she suddenly like Yuru so much that she even showed more affection for Yuru at the banquet where Madam of Duke Xing adopted Miss Qi as her daughter?" Madam Dowager did not answer Qin Huaiyong, but looked up at him instead. Her gaze made Qin Huaiyong uneasy. He turned his head to cough in a low voice, and then turned around and said, "Mother, I don't know why Yuru found favor with Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion. Maybe it's a coincidence. I didn't go to Duke Xing's Mansion today and don't know what happened exactly!" "Yong'er, Yuru has changed her age. Is it really good for her reputation? Doesn't the First Young Master of the Qi's Mansion know it? Aren't you afraid that he gets angry and gives away what hap
"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
