"Your parents have been preparing betrothal gifts for your brother?" Calming down, Qin Wanru asked anxiously.
"Yes! There are many gifts! They are much more precious than those our mansion gave your mansion before. Well, it is unlikely that they are preparing those betrothal gifts for me!" Qi Baiyu answered ironically.
He was only a son of a concubine, so people in the Qi Mansion would not pay any attention to him. Moreover, the size of betrothal gifts this time far outweighed that of the gifts Qi Tianyu gave Qin Yuru before. From this, everyone then realized how important this occasion was going to be.
"What else do you know?" Sitting up straight, Qin Wanru asked seriously.
"Nothing important. I only know that they are preparing these betrothal gifts. Besides, my brother has been frequenting your mansion recently. If he is not visiting your mansion, then he just reads books at home. If it is not your mansion, I do not know which o
When Yujie chased after Qin Wanru, she was still on the way back to Zhifang Pavilion, and was waiting for Yujie in particular."Miss, First Young Master of the Qi Family wants to marry you!" As soon as Yujie found Qin Wanru, she immediately told her the news, clenching her teeth in anger.First Young Master of the Qi Family had an affair with First Miss, but he even dared to plan to marry her lady! Yujie was extremely angry and almost wanted to rush out and hit the indecent couple."What did they say?" Qin Wanru looked quite calm."You know about it, Miss?" Astounded, Yujie asked."Yes." Qin Wanru nodded and stopped, looking into the distance. It would be a sleepless night for many people. The mansion was brightly lit, lighting up the night sky. "Tell me, what do they want from me?"Yujie was stunned. A strange feeling overwhelmed her. Those who had no parents had to save themselves, even if they were plot
Madam Dowager sat in the seat of honor, with a gloomy look on her face. Sitting opposite her were Old Madam of Duke Yong's Mansion, Countess Yong, and Di Fenglan.Seeing Qin Wanru coming in, they all stared at her in an unfriendly manner.Qin Wanru looked around and saw that Shui Ruolan was not here. Perhaps they were afraid that people from Duke Yong's Mansion would disturb Shui Ruolan, so she had been deliberately told not to come.As a result, Madam Dowager seemed to be at a disadvantage to some degree. "So she called me over to stand behind her, right?" thought Qin Wanru.After Qin Wanru greeted Madam Dowager, Madam Dowager nodded and motioned Qin Wanru to stand behind her.Before Qin Wanru stood make her way there, Di Fenglan had already started to challenge her, "Second Miss Qin, did you force my aunt to commit suicide?"Qin Wanru stood behind Madam Dowager and looked at Di Fenglan calmly. She sneere
This was forcing Qin's Mansion to concede!Moreover, Shui Ruolan had to be dragged into the water to make it to the court. If Madam Di went to the court, Shui Ruolan also had to go to the court. Considering Shui Ruolan's weak body currently, coupled with her depressed heart and shame, this might kill her instantly!Duke Yong's Mansion really knew how to plan things well. Madam Di’s current situation would make people pity her. Even if there were evidences, many people would stand by Madam Di’s side. Added that Duke Yong's Mansion would help her secretly, and even Duke Xing's Mansion would help her, even if it was the court, the hearing would only be unjust.The only witness was that doctor, but if something happened to the doctor, there would be no more reliable witness!Qin Wanru sneered in her heart. Last night Duke Yong's Mansion did not plan to assault her directly. It seemed to discuss how to deal with it, and may even get som
"Your Big Sister?" Madam Dowager did not understand what she meant."Grandma, Big Sister is ill, but her condition cannot be compared with Madam Di's current situation. Since I will be visiting Madam Di, how can she, as Madam Di's biological daughter, not go? Even if Big Sister cannot serve Madam Di in person because she is sick, she still has to show her regard. So how about allowing Big Sister to live in Yulan Pavilion? When she sees Big Sister, Madam Di will be in a good mood and she will get better too!"Qin Wanru said softly.Qin Yuru did not want to go, but she would insist!"Allow your Big Sister to move to Madam Di's place?" Madam Dowager thought for a while and felt that this was a good idea. She nodded and sighed, "That's okay. Anyway, Madam Di is your Big Sister's mother. Even though Madam Di brought this on herself, your Big Sister will still be worried about her!""Since grandma is agreeable, let's ask som
"Grandma, what can we do?" Qin Yuru rushed to the bed and cried so hard when looking at Madam Di. She was overwhelmed by grief and did not look well, so she became more delicate and weak.Di Fenglan also sympathized with her. Walking over and squatting in front of Madam Di's bed, she comforted Qin Yuru in a low voice. "Cousin, don't cry. Grandmother has arranged everything. An imperial physician will come soon. My father went to the palace early to invite the imperial physician this morning.""Will an imperial physician come to treat my mother?" Qin Yuru was shocked to quickly raise her head and asked, with her hands on the bedside trembling. If her mother really got well, what should she do?Even if others did not know, how could she not know that it was because of her that her mother had been hurt so badly?However, she had had no other alternative in that circumstance. If her mother had not been seriously injured, Qin Wanru and
When Qin Wanru came over, Qin Yuru's objects were moved here one by one.The Yulan Pavilion, which had been neglected for a long time, became lively at once, and the servant girls and old maids who had been relocated to other places also returned.The yard with weeds was cleaned up again, and Qing Xue and Hongye took a lot of servant girls and old maids to clean the inside and outside of the yard completely.Madam Di had originally had two close-fitting servant girls called Meiya and Meibao, but they were also sent away afterwards. This time, they returned again and gained the identity as the principal maids again.Qing Xue originally came with the identity as the principal maid. Hongye was also a principal maid after she entered the mansion.There were now four principal maids around Madam Di, coupled with Nanny Zhou, a few little servant girls, and rough old maids. Therefore, the whole yard became much more lively.
Hearing the approaching footsteps outside, Qin Wanru motioned Yujie to stand aside."Second Miss, the imperial physician, Doctor Li has come!" Qu Le's voice said outside the door.Qin Wanru got up and stood behind the gauze bed curtain when Yujie walked to the door and lifted the door curtain. A middle-aged imperial physician came in with a servant who was carrying a medicine chest on his back following behind.Nanny Zhou was also following him. When she saw Madam Di lying on the bed motionlessly with eyes opening, she leaped on Madam Di and cried frightenedly, "Madam! Madam! What happened to you?""Madam Di just woke up. She felt uncomfortable and seemed to freak out." Yujie came and explained to her after bowing to the imperial physician.Nanny Zhou was so anxious that she almost cried, "Madam? Madam! What's wrong with you? Please let me know!"It appeared that Nanny Zhou's call brought Madam Di's soul b
The imperial physician took a glance at Qin Yuru and shook his head silently. Then he was ready to leave the main room with his servant and to follow Yujie to give a prescription in the wing room. Suddenly, the curtain was lifted by someone inside and Qin Yuru lunged forward. She cried sadly, "Imperial physician, please save my mother's life!"Her voice sounded extremely woeful.If Doctor Li had not watched the scene before, he would have regarded Qin Yuru as a filial lady who cared about her mother very much. However, since he had known what kind of person Qin Yuru was, he thought Qin Yuru was a hypocrite no matter how thoughtful and filial she behaved now.The very first impression of the so-called First Miss had been formed and it was hard to overturn it."Please wait for a moment and calm down, First Miss. In consideration of Madam Di's situation, it would be better to form a tranquil environment for her to take a rest. It woul
"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
