Duke Xing's Mansion was destined to be unlucky these years!
Something bad happened to Miss Shao who should enter into the palace, and it was not a small matter. After returning to the mansion, Madam of Duke Xing was punished again and was dragged to kneel in the ancestral hall by Old Madam.
The whole Duke Xing's Mansion was stirred, and many servants were trembling because of fear. They didn't know what had happened.
In addition to the doctor of the manor, there were also several doctors who were invited outside in the most favored First Miss's place. It seemed that the First Miss had an incurable disease after she entered the palace.
Madam of Duke Xing, who had always been high and mighty in the whole Duke Xing's Mansion, was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall because she had offended the Fifth Miss. Later, the furnishment of the Fifth Miss was moved out, which shocked everyone. Then, everyone sighed that it was indeed the Ma
"What?" Old Madam raised her head in astonishment and stared at Duke Xing in surprise; she couldn't believe what she had heard."Mother, I think we should dispatch her to a nunnery to cultivate in seclusion. She can't handle the affairs in our mansion now, considering what she has done. Let my sister-in-law take charge of the internal affairs in our mansion, and I'll have to trouble you to guide her," Duke Xing said in a cold tone."How...how... how could we do that? She is your official wife! How could you be so cruel!" Old Madam said in a hurry. It was her who brought up Duke Xing's wife, so she had a close relationship with her. She took her as her own daughter more than a daughter-in-law. How could she allow her to be sent to the nunnery like this?If she were sent to the nunnery, she wouldn't be able to come back for the rest of her life!"Mother, do you want our whole family to be implicated by her? You must have heard the ru
Madam of Duke Xing was so angry that her face looked ferocious. Her beautiful face no longer looked as gentle as usual.Seeing Duke Xing come in, she stared at him coldly without saying a word, her eyes full of vicious hatred.Duke Xing didn't like her expression. He frowned and said coldly, "Now everyone has known what you've done, and Her Highness, the Empress Dowager, has also given you a ruler and Woman Precepts. Rumor has it that you forced Qi Rongzhi to marry Wang Shengxue, so she had to escape from our mansion to avoid the marriage.""What do you think of this, Duke?" Madam of Duke Xing raised her eyebrows and squinted at Duke Xing."I think you're to blame for what you did. Besides, Ru'er is going to enter the palace soon, so we can't let this matter discredit her. Otherwise, she may not be able to gain the title of a princess," Duke Xing said, displeased, and a look of disgust flashed within his eyes."What do
"Miss, First Young Master went to see Madam!" When Qing’er came back to report, Shao Wanru was still reading the medical book under the lamp. She put down the medical book in her hand and reached out to rub her forehead. Shao Wanru asked with a little tiredness, "Did First Miss go there too?""First Miss didn't. Only First Young Master went there. The old maid who guarded the door didn't dare to stop him, so she let him in!" Qing'er saw it clearly. Although the servant girl was Shuqi, the person in the cloak was not First Miss. When they went in, she didn't see them clearly. Later, when they went out, though in the shadow side, she still clearly saw their faces."Don't worry about him. You ask people to keep an eye on Duke Xing's whereabouts these days!" Shao Wanru raised the corners of her mouth and said slowly with her long eyelashes fluttering."Yes, Miss! I will take my leave!" Qing'er replied and left.Shao Wanru picked up the
The person who came to Fanglan Embroidery Shop was a supervisor about 30 years old. She was very thin and seemed to be capable, but her smile was very kind. When she saw Madame Dong coming out of the room, she immediately took two steps forward and greeted her with a smile. "Madame Dong, you are so polite. I can come by myself! We have been partners for many years. Why do we need such a courtesy?""You're welcome, Supervisor Xiao. Please!" Madame Dong smiled and led her into the room.When they got into the room, the two of them sat down separately. The servant girl served tea and left."Madame Dong, I may have to trouble you again this time!" Supervisor Xiao took out an account book familiarly and handed it to Madame Dong. "Look, this is our recent account book."In the past three years, Supervisor Xiao had come to borrow money more than once. Both of them were familiar with their own procedures. Moreover, during these three years
"What's the matter?" Shao Wanru stopped, looked at Madame Dong, and asked.Madame Dong dodged her eyes for a moment, looked more and more hesitant, and didn't know where to start."Madame Dong, if you think of anything, you can send someone to take a message to Rui'an Great Elder Princess's Mansion directly." Shao Wanru said with a smile and did not make detailed inquiries. From Madame Dong's expression, Shao Wanru could tell that she didn't want to tell it now.There were too many people watching her in Duke Xing's Mansion, and she wanted to keep Butterfly Clothing Shop a secret from Duke Xing's Mansion.It was much better for Madame Dong to send a message to Rui'an Great Elder Princess's Mansion, where her grandma could pass on the message to her than to directly send a message to Duke Xing's Mansion."Thank you, Miss!" Madame Dong looked relieved, bowed sideways to Shao Wanru, and said.Shao Wanru nodde
"Madam Di has been locked up as before. No one comes to see her other than some people sent by Duke Yong's Mansion, and Yuru seldom comes!" When Old Madam Qin spoke of Madam Di, the smile on her face faded away.Shao Wanru understood what Old Madam Qin meant. Now Madam Di was really a nobody in Qin's Mansion and was no longer a threat to Shui Ruolan. Nevertheless, since Duke Yong's Mansion still sent some people to see her, it meant that they still attached great importance to her. So Qin's Mansion could not be too harsh on her and just locked her up.And she would not be treated unfairly in everyday food and clothing.Someone like Qin Yuru probably would not show great gratitude towards her birth mother."Grandma, can I meet Madam Di?" After thinking for a while, Shao Wanru finally raised her watery eyes and asked softly."You want to see Madam Di?" Old Madam Qin asked with a frown, wondering why Shao Wanru wanted to
In the beginning, Qing Xue had been forced to come back to serve Madam Di. At that time, she had had no choice but to do so and she had been willing to work for Shao Wanru secretly.But later, things had happened one after another. The biggest change was that Shao Wanru had become a mistress of Duke Xing's Mansion, and then she had been to the Yuhui Nunnery to cultivate in seclusion and had no longer meddled in the affairs of Qin's Mansion.Madam Di had also been so seriously injured at that time that she could hardly survive. It had not been expected that she would torture the people around her so viciously. It was unexpected for Shao Wanru that Madam Di could torture all the people around her like that. Needless to say, Duke Yong's Mansion had also been involved in that.Duke Yong's Mansion seemed to be in decline and unremarkable, but it seemed to be everywhere!The interests of Qin's Mansion and Duke Yong's Mansion had always b
"Uncle, if you are concerned, you can ask the servant to follow me. I will talk to Fifth Miss Shao just for a short while!" Qi Tianyu said politely.Since he had said that, for the sake of Magistrate Qi, Qin Huaiyong didn't refuse. He could only nod and ask the servant to lead Qi Tianyu to see Shao Wanru.Then he sat alone in the study for a long time silently.Since when had those things all gone wrong? At that time, he couldn't even figure out the direction. Sometimes, he would even doubt if what he had done was right or wrong.He was a military general, and he had been annealed on the battlefield. He had always been determined. When he had already chosen the direction, he would rush in a certain direction, but at that moment he was a little confused...Shao Wanru returned to Zhifang Pavilion, where she had not been for a long time. Everything in Zhifang Pavilion was still the same. There were not many people in the
"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
