"They go with us?" though Qin Wanru had guessed it, she showed nothing but a slight surprise on her face.
"Yes, they'll go with us... We owe more to Qi's mansion!" Qin Huaiyong tightly furrowed his brow and looked pale.
Qi Ping of Magistrate Qi had got something on him for both Qin Yuru and what Madam Di had done this time. The result of their showdown was that Qi Huaiyong had to shelter Qi Rongzhi temporarily and tried to find a grand marriage for her.
"From now on, you're just closer to your mother. As for others... don't care too much!" Qin Huaiyong said while looking at Qin Wanru. And the words meant more than he said.
"Yes, I'll listen to you, father!" Qin Wanru said with great respect as if she didn't seem to catch the meaning of Qin Huaiyong's words which told her not to care too much about Madam Di.
After Qin Huaiyong left, Qin Wanru did not immediately get ready for bed but made medicine under the lamp wi
Qin Wanru bowed her head and respectfully said, "Yes, my father said that yesterday... I'm afraid that I'll delay your business, so I want to finish what you ordered as soon as possible! " Then she reached out and pushed the mortar in which there was medicine powder to Mingqiu Nun for her examination. Mingqiu Nun just evaluated the medicine powder according to its shape. Next, she would smell and taste the medicine powder Qin Wanru made to tell whether it was good or not. With her high medical skill, Mingqiu Nun could immediately taste the Qingqu Grass as soon as she tasted the medicine powder. Qin Wanru needed the worry from Mingqiu Nun. Mingqiu Nun touched the stone mortar that Qin Wanru had pushed over, but she did not taste the medicine powder immediately. She slightly lowered her head with a somewhat dismayed look and did not speak. The room became quiet all of a sudden, and only the sound of the wind outside could be hear
By the time Qin Wanru returned to Old Grandma's yard, Yujie was already by her side, dressed as a maid. The clothes Yujie were wearing belonged to Qingyue. Both of them were of similar build and height, and Qingyue's clothes fitted perfectly on Yujie. Yujie really looked like a courteous maid of a big family after changing out of her nun's robes. Her natural character was polite, and it fit into the situation perfectly. Nun Yujie looked clean and fresh when dressed as a maid, and it made Old Grandma feel very happy. On one hand, she felt that Nun Mingqiu and the Mistress of Jingxin Monastery had put in much effort, while on the other hand, she sensed that the young nun did grow up in the nunnery. She looked calm and poised, completely devoid of the rashness normally associated with her youth. She would serve as a good assistant, if she remained with Zhuozhuo. As such, it was decided that Yujie would follow by Qin
Shui Ruolan's eyes widened and a smile appeared on her face. "Mother, since this is our only chance, let's take it from Nanny Zhou." "It'll be the price of a store at most! It's still not enough!" Old Grandma had yet to figure it out. "Mother, keep an eye on Nanny Zhou and see who she's dealing with. Find a way to make them pay on the same day," Shui Ruolan said. Her words finally convinced Old Grandma, who nodded after pondering over it. She thought that this idea was feasible. Since they must snatch the money out of Nanny Zhou's hands without Madam Di's knowledge, they must snatch everything at one go. They must find a way to arrange to get the money on the same day Madam Di would be selling hers. If they took the money this time, there would be no more money left to be taken! Considering the influence of the Ningyuan Army General's Mansion, it wouldn't be a problem for them to arrange for the culp
Yujie and Qing Yue glanced at each other, and they didn't understand! "So she can handle everything when she has the opportunity to go out!" Qin Wanru smiled slightly, and her mouth curved. The harder it was to go out, the more she really wanted to get all the things done. The big things needed Nanny Zhou to deal with, but the small things could let other little servants handle. Nanny Zhou couldn't go out, but those little servants could. Informing a person or finding a seller could be done by little servants! When she heard that Madam Di wanted to send her back to her hometown, Madam Di must want to sell all the shops she had. Of course, she would also ask for help from her own family in the capital city. "Yes, miss. I'll go now!" Qin Wanru's words immediately reminded Yujie, who smiled, respectfully saluted, and looked at Qin Wanru with admiration before she turned to find Nanny Duan. Although the
"Where are they? It is only a moment before I hear the laughter of both of them. Where did they go in just a moment?" "Eunuch Liu, where are they?" The little boy blinked his eyes and asked. Eunuch Liu also turned, looked around and said confusedly. "They... They are gone!" "Go to find them!" The little boy trod with force and turned to run forward. It was only a moment. He believed that he could catch up with them. Seeing his master run out, Eunuch Liu also hurried to follow. After the two men went away, Qin Wanru appeared and clapped her hands with Yujie. In fact, they were just in the corner of the parapet. The neighbor seemed to be a rich family. At first sight, the gap between the two households looked very small and was hardly available to hide people. However, Qin Wanru, who once saw Qi Baiyu hiding there, knew that the gap only looked small but could really hide someone! After a
A 17-or 18-year-old lady stood at the door with a somewhat delicate appearance. She was shocked to see Qin Wanru in the room. She had heard her voice and wanted to help serve her. To her surprise, she didn't expect to see such a young lady. "This is my daughter Dong Xiuer!" Madame Dong saw her daughter come out and said. Then she asked Qin Wanru, "Excuse me, lady, who are you..." She still had no idea of Qin Wanru's identity. Yujie saw Qin Wanru nod and before she stepped forward and answered, "She is the Second Miss of the Ningyuan Army General's Mansion." "Miss Qin?" Madame Dong said uneasily, while Dong Xiuer looked up and down at Qin Wanru with curiosity. There was such a furor in the Ningyuan Army General's Mansion lately. Qin Wanru smiled slightly and said frankly, "Yes!" "I don't know why Miss Qin visits me." Madame Dong did not think that she had anything to do with the Ningyuan Army General'
"What's wrong? You met someone?" the young man with a cold face asked without stopping. "I seemed to see someone I know!" The quirky boy, who was younger than the man, stared at the room upstairs. If he was right, the girl came out from that room. The cold-faced boy didn't care about what he just said. The waiter continued to take them to their private room, but when they just walked past Qin Wanru's room, the younger boy suddenly opened the door of the closed room. The grim-faced boy stopped unpleasantly and rebuked him in a low voice, "Stop it." "Big brother, I met a friend! Let's share a table with her!" The younger boy was not so fastidious, pointing at the room inside. In the private room, Qin Wanru was still holding a cup of tea in her hand. She was startled by the movement of the door being opened. But she quickly regained her composure. Her eyes fell on the face of the grim-faced boy, then sh
"Second Miss, Second Miss!" Nanny Zhou seemed to have hovered in the door of the study for a while, then she had to break in. Her eyes flashed when she saw Qin Wanru. She quickly rushed over. "Nanny Zhou, what's the matter?" Qin Wanru stopped and asked her. "Miss, this... Can you help madam take it to the General? This is the soup Madam made for the General in the kitchen." As she spoke, Nanny Zhou opened the basket she was carrying. It was really a bowl of thick soup. It smelt really good. "Can't you take it yourself?" Qin Wanru raised her head and looked at the servant who guarded the study, then asked in confusion. "This... The servant won't let me go in, so I have to ask you for help, Miss. Madam had spent a lot of energy cooking this soup. She picked all the materials by herself. She even injured her hand cooking this soup." Nanny Zhou smiled and kept asking her for help. "Have you found a doctor for her?" Qi
"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
