"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
Qin Huaiyong also frowned and said after a long while, "We can say that Yuru has been bewitched and stayed in our mansion recently to ward off the evil spirits!" "We... can only say that!" Madam Dowager nodded, and said helplessly, "Should we ask someone to our mansion to drive away the evil spirits?" "It's not necessary!" Qin Yuru had a bad reputation, but fortunately Di Yan was the same. In addition, Madam Di came from Duke Yong's Mansion. They would probably not break the promise of the marriage between Qin Yuru and Di Yan. It could be considered the sheer luck among these misfortunes! Now that they had figured out a proper way to solve the problem, Qin Huaiyong sent Madam Dowager to the door. "Madam Dowager, Madam Shui doesn't feel well!" Seeing them coming out, the manservant, who was guarding at the door, hurried over to report. "When did it happen?" Madam Dowager felt her legs went weak and be
Huangrui hurriedly returned to Madam Di's Yulan Pavilion. After entering the yard, she said to the two inferior old maids guarding the door with a smiley face, "Nannies, I just went to take some ginsengs back for Madam. They were sent by Duke Yong's Mansion for nursing Madam's body!" As she said, she handed over a ginseng in her hand and a purse to the two old maids. They sneered scornfully, and one of them took her purse and said, "Go inside. Madam is waiting for them!" "Thank you, Nanny!" Huangrui said, turning around to enter the courtyard. Seeing her come in, Hongye , who was standing in the porch of the courtyard, hurriedly waved to her. Huangrui walked over softly. "Nanny Zhou is talking with Madam inside. You should go inside later!" Hongye whispered. "Okay!" Huangrui nodded. Nanny Zhou and Madam didn't want them to hear their conversation. Last time, they just stood a little closer, and then were questioned by Nanny Zho
Looking at the slightly closed door and window, Qin Wanru got gooseflesh. She remembered that the window was closed before? She walked to the window and reached out to close the door and window completely. After looking at the window and out the window and finding nothing, she returned to her bed. With her gaze falling on the letter in front of her, she picked up the letter after thinking for a while, opened the envelope and dragged the stationery out with tears. Only after reading a few lines, she looked shocked. At this moment, she, who had just glanced over it, involuntarily read it again from the beginning to the end. This time she breathed rapidly. Qu Le's father really came to the capital! That day she didn't get the wrong person, and the person was Qu Le's father. She had thought that if she wanted to find Qu Le's father, she had to send someone to Jiangzhou. As just a girl living in the inner court, Qin Wanru was defini
"Wanru, even if you don't have biological parents, I'm still your mother!" Shui Ruolan paused and then reiterated with a serious face. "Mother, I know!" With her long eyelashes fluttering, Qin Wanru hid the excitement at the bottom of her eyes, and then slowly closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she was calm. "Mother, tell me about it!" Seeing her finally calm down, Shui Ruolan was relieved, held her hand and told her about what Madam Dowager said in an orderly manner. Qin Wanru held the hand of Shui Ruolan calmly. After excitement, she became keen in thinking again. As she verified her conjectures with Shui Ruolan's words, she suddenly understood something she couldn't figure out before. Under her long eyelashes, her eyes were filled with deepness, seemingly containing indiscernible huge waves in the deep sea. After telling the cause and effect, Shui Ruolan sighed softly, held her hand with slight strength and sai
"A shop wants to buy stakes in ours? The entire shop?" Qin Wanru raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise. The so-called shop shareholder was to merge the previous shop and the current one together. If that was the entire shop, then the entire shop would be merged and its income would be shared with Butterfly Clothing Shop. But if that was not the entire shop to buy shares, Butterfly Clothing Shop could still gain the shop's income from its share. In fact, such things were rare to happen. Those who had the ability to buy shares with the entire shop must be larger shops with good revenue. Although Butterfly Clothing Shop looked good now, it was still not a large one. No one knew how long this shop can survive in the capital city. Using an original shop in the capital city to buy shares was too risky to be possible. "Yes, the entire shop, and it is not small. I have particularly visited it and let people check their account. The
Of course, the one who brought Qu Le's father to the capital city was not her subordinate but Chu Liuchen's! "Tell me what happened before!" Qin Wanru meditated for a long time and then began to speak. "Miss, when Infanta married to our Mansion, Old Madam did not like her. Old Madam liked the cousin Miss, who had been brought to Duke Xing's Mansion from childhood and she was a niece in Old Madam's parents' home. She had been prepared to marry Childe at a little age, but Childe did not like the cousin Miss. However, he liked Infanta Qinghua after meeting her. Knowing that Old Madam would hinder this, he specifically begged the Emperor to decree their marriage!" "Later on, the cousin Miss married Second Young Master. Infanta Qinghua was a gentle person. Even though she was an Infanta, she still behaved as a daughter-in-law of Duke Xing's Mansion. However, Old Madam always created difficulties for Infanta Qinghua, and deliberately punished Infa
Hearing that Qin Wanru had come here, Rui'an Great Elder Princess especially asked Nanny Gao to pick her up. After arriving inside, Qin Wanru gave a respectful greeting to Rui'an Great Elder Princess, and then she went aside quickly and pointed at the person behind her with her finger. She said to Rui'an Great Elder Princess, "Great Elder Princess, do you know this person?" Rui'an Great Elder Princess raised her eyes and fell her eyes on the middle-aged man in front of her, frowning. After so many years, she could not recognize him for a while. She looked at him up and down for a few times and shook her head. Nanny Gao on the side was excited, and couldn't help but tremble and ask, "You... Are you Shao Huai?" "Yes, it's Shao Huai. Nanny Gao, you still know me!" The father of Qu Le, Shao Huai, kneeled in front of Rui'an Great Elder Princess, and said excitedly to Nanny Gao. "Shao Huai?" Rui'an Great Elder Princess
"What, what did you say?" said Rui'an Great Elder Princess in a hurry. "Grandma, I've always been called Zhuozhuo!" Qin Wanru did not know why Rui'an Great Elder Princess was so shocked suddenly, and quickly took away her wet sleeves. "Zhuozhuo... Zhuozhuo... It was Zhuozhuo. Qinghua has already told me... I... I'm stupid!" Rui'an Great Elder Princess burst into tears with thumping her chest and stamping her feet. "Grandma, don't cry. What's, what's going on?" Qin Wanru found that she could not stop Rui'an Great Elder Princess from crying and turned to look at Nanny Gao. Nanny Gao was also crying and wiping tears with her handkerchief. Hearing Qin Wanru's question, she wiped her eyes and said, "when infanta came back, she was murmuring heir's nickname, as well as yours. But no one knew what infanta was saying and thought it was a slip of tongue. We all did not expect it to be your nickname..." Nanny Gao remembered
"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
