"When will they do that?" Qin Wanru asked again.
"It is said that they will do it these days. They have talked it over. The lady is said to be a cousin of Madam Di, a distant relative of Duke Yong's Mansion. She was supposed to get married long ago, but her marriage was delayed because of something. She's quite a good-looking old lady."
The news was truly shocking, because no one expected that Madam Di would agree.
"Has father said anything about it?" Qin Wanru frowned slightly. There was definitely not such a lady in the last life.
In the last life, the backyard of the Qin's Mansion was under the control of Madam Di. She would not allow such a thing. In this life, many things had changed. Madam Di was doomed. Did Duke Yong's Mansion mean to send another lady from their family to the Qin's Mansion?
After Huangrui's failure in seducing Qin Huaiyong secretly, they intended to send a lady here openly!
"
"Qin Wanru, with no outsiders here at this moment, you don't need to pretend. You dropped and smashed my bracelets that day. Isn't it because you can't bear to see that my bracelets were rewarded by Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion?" Qin Yuru said with a sneer. There were no others in the room indeed. Besides Qin Yuru and Qin Wanru, only their henchmen were present. Others might not know something, but the maids did. Qin Yuru and Qin Wanru were incompatible, and just pretended to be intimate sisters in front of others. Nevertheless, although all the maids present were henchmen, they were still different. Yujie stood with a calm face behind Qin Wanru, and even dared to steal a glance at Qin Yuru lightly, as if she didn't care about Qin Yuru's words and stood here just to watch the show. Her expression and Qin Wanru's mild expression formed a delightful contrast. Both of them didn't panic. Behind Qin Yuru were Mei X
Because it was the eve of the Spring Festival and there were a ceremony of worshipping the ancestors and a family banquet in the evening, Shui Ruolan did not take a nap in the afternoon and spent the afternoon listening to the supervisors of the inner court reporting various affairs. There were tremendous affairs to handle today. Qionghua had advised her to take a nap repeatedly, but she still refused to do that and forced herself to hold on. Qionghua was extremely anxious. Failing to persuade Shui Ruolan, she could only invite Qin Wanru to come over. After Qin Wanru helped her persuade Shui Ruolan, Shui Ruolan obediently went into the inner room and had a rest. In the outer room, two concubines helped Shui Ruolan handle the affairs, while Qin Wanru sat behind the screen in the outer room and went through the account book which Shui Ruolan had gone through. In addition to a few account books of the supervisors of the inner court, the rest we
Qin Wanru quickened her pace and entered the main room. Qin Yuru and Mei Xue were striking the door of the inner room, but the door of the inner room was tightly closed. At the sight of this, Qin Wanru instantly looked around with her face changing slightly, pointed at a stool, and said to an old maid who entered the room behind her, "Break down the door!" The old maid walked over, picked up the stool made of redwood, and heavily struck the door of the inner room with it. The door of the inner room shook slightly, and was not opened. Qin Yuru stepped aside. The old maid heavily struck the door several times, and the door was finally broken down. "Mother, mother!" As soon as the door was opened, Qin Yuru rushed in with tears and held Madam Di who was hung. Mei Xue also burst into tears and rushed in. Qin Wanru walked into the room hurriedly, only to see Madam Di rolling her eyes, hanging herself with a strip of white cloth and kicking her leg
Of course, before leaving the yard, Qin Wanru left the old maids in the room. She said that they should take care of everything in the room, but secretly asked them to guard here and prevent anyone in the room from going out. When they came here, Qin Wanru deliberately asked Shui Ruolan to bring a few more old maids who were tall and sturdy. It was rather convenient for these old maids to keep several people in the room. Of course, they could only do that for a moment, but it had bought enough time for Qin Wanru. After Qin Yuru rushed out, the show could be put on... In the courtyard, besides Shui Ruolan, there were several old men standing opposite. Qin Wanru didn't know who these people were, but could tell that these people came with no good intention. They were staring at Shui Ruolan with angry faces in a threatening manner. Fortunately, they just argue and didn't make a scene. Qin Wanru walked down the steps. Despite her c
"Three granduncles, please save my mother! Please save my mother!" Hearing the granduncles in the courtyard were about to leave, Qin Yuru screamed and rushed out. The old maid did not dare to keep blocking Qin Yuru, and was pushed away hard by her. Hearing someone screaming and crying, the three granduncles immediately stopped and looked back in puzzlement, only to see Qin Yuru stagger out in tears. When she came up to them, she had choked with sobs, "Granduncles... please... save my mother. My mother... mother... is dying..." "How come? We've been told that she's alright, isn't she?" The second granduncle asked sharply. "How can she be alright... My mother... she has been forced to hang herself... How, how can she be alright!" Qin Yuru covered her face and cried. Mei Xue also ran out, held Qin Yuru and cried with her. Both of them seemed to have been crying for a while, because their eyes had turned
"What nonsense!" In a moment of fluster, Qin Yuru scolded and screamed at the doctor with her hand pointing at him, "Who are you, the vulgar man? How dare you talk nonsense! If not poisoned, then why would my mother get poisoned before? That one is the best doctor in the capital city. Do you dare to say you are better than him?" "The best doctor in the capital city?" The doctor who came later raised his eyebrows, glanced at the doctor who tried to hide behind the crowd and said indifferently, "Well, he is the best one in the city but I possess the medical skills which have been handed down from my ancestors. By the way, I am sure that I am much better than the so-called famous doctor who once killed his patient!" "He killed his patient?" "You, you make nonsense!" Qin Yuru stunned and was at a loss for words. The latter stood up, walked into the crowd and pulled the former out. He stared the former up and down and said, "It is u
Since Qin Wanru wanted to dig into details and it seemed that she tried to find out the vomit which didn't even exist, Nanny Zhou flustered. Thinking for a while, she quickly responded just in order to shut Qin Wanru up, "Second Lady, I did clean it up. You know, it was an unexpected accident and I once saw the same case on a servant girl before. Thus I quickly supposed that Madam Di was poisoned. Then I went to the kitchen and got the doctor here." "So do you mean that you have cleaned up the vomit before the doctor came?" A half smile appeared on Qin Wanru's face. Nanny Zhou had a feeling something went wrong but she didn't know what the problem was. She could say nothing but with her mouth opening. Qin Wanru smiled coldly and turned to the doctor who came first. "Since I don't know what kind of medicine you used, may I have a look?" Qin Wanru asked and smiled at the doctor who looked very embarrassed. "Well, it
Since he decided to confess, everything would become much easier later. The doctor told everything to them. There was someone who asked him to spray himself with safflower powder when he went to Qin's Mansion. However, the unknown person's master wasn't Madam Di. The person only told him to see Madam Di when Nanny Zhou from Qin's Mansion came and did everything according to Nanny Zhou's words. He once treated Madam Di so he was familiar with Nanny Zhou. When he came here, he found that Madam Di looked weak but he couldn't find any evidence to prove that she was poisoned. However, since Nanny Zhou mentioned, he then gave her a pill to clear toxin and committed that she was poisoned. "Who?" Qin Huaiyong asked while he looked livid. "I don't know. He, he looked quite normal and just asked me for a favor. Then he gave me a hundred taels of silver!" Sweating, the doctor hurriedly answered. He was completely seduced by
"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
