Chapter 1182 A Letter to Check In
“Did you ask someone to do it? Will it be discovered?” Shao Wanru looked at Chu Liuchen with her bright eyes. She was a little surprised but also felt that it was the way things should be. She felt touched as she slightly smiled. She couldn’t hide her good mood, which was particularly obvious. Obviously, she was pleased.
“Don’t worry, no one will find out. When Yuan’an wakes up, she will do her best to fight against Princess Yuyan. It’s not a big deal to give her such a small blow,” Chu Liuchen said indifferently with a bright smile on his face, showing a kind of leisure and charm. He looked at Shao Wanru, who blushed slightly.
He did not forget to show his charm at all times.
Anyone who saw him for the first time would think that he was like an immortal from heaven. Both his appearance and demeanor were like those of an immortal. No one would think that a man like him would plot against others.
But it just so happened that he looked gentle and kind, but he was absolutely ruthless when he did things. However, Shao Wanru liked it. She actually liked him not just that he was able to do this for her.
She knew that he was blowing off steam for her. No matter how wrong Princess Yuyan was, she had been demoted to this state. However, as a princess who was going to be married off to the Xu State, Shao Wanru couldn’t do much harm to her. After all, they hadn’t fallen out with each other completely.ReadNovelFull.com
“But the dog… no one is going to find out about the truth, right?” Shao Wanru thought for a while and asked again. She was still a little worried. Ruiping Great Elder Princess was not easy to deal with, and this matter happened in her mansion. If there was something wrong with the dog, it would be easy to be discovered later.
Chu Liuchen reached out to hold Shao Wanru’s tender hand, gently squeezed it, and said indifferently, “There is indeed something wrong with the dog, but I won’t be blamed. Yuan’an had such an idea and specially asked someone to buy the medicine, but she just didn’t have time to use it.”
So he just took the easy option. Shao Wanru breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, after thinking for a while, she smiled again. She thought that even if it was not going well, Chu Liuchen would ask Infanta Yuan’an to come up with such a wonderful plan.
She held Chu Liuchen’s hand backhand, and her bright eyes became more and more charming, making her extremely beautiful face even more attractive.
How could she not be moved by such a man who was wholeheartedly protecting her?
Now the atmosphere was just right, so Shao Wanru said, “I may have to go to Marquis Xing’s Mansion again in the next few days. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine this time!” She stole a glance at Chu Liuchen and saw that his face had turned gloomy. Since Shao Wanru came back from Marquis Xing’s Mansion last time, Chu Liuchen had opposed her going there.
If Old Madam of Marquis Xing’s Mansion insisted on her going, she could pass the buck on him or say that she was not feeling well. Anyway, with her status and what Marquis Xing’s Mansion had done to her, no one would say anything even if she kept refusing the invitation with the excuse of her not feeling well.
Now was different from the past since the time had come.
Although Princess Chen came from Marquis Xing’s Mansion, Marquis Xing’s Mansion had been unkind to her since she was recognized. Not to mention that Madam Jiang of the second branch had framed her again and again, even Old Madam had never regarded her as her biological granddaughter. Old Madam had either pressed her or disliked her. Such rumors had long been spread by Chu Liuchen intentionally, and almost everyone knew them.
In addition, it was Princess Chen who pleaded for mercy when Old Madam came back. However, after Old Madam came back, the first thing she did was scold Princess Chen, which made her very sad. She couldn’t bear it and fainted at that time. After that, her servants brought her, who was unconscious, back to the mansion.
There were so many things like this. Some of them were known to everyone, while some were unknown. There had been a faint saying before, and now those things were connected together. The more people thought about them, the more they felt that it was true that Marquis Xing’s Mansion didn’t like Princess Chen at all. Otherwise, how could she have gone to the nunnery at such a young age right after she had been recognized?
Princess Chen was really pitiful. Marquis Xing’s Mansion was so despicable that they didn’t even intend to take back their own child.
Under the deliberate guidance of the rumor, public opinion was basically one-sided.
It was believed that the elders were being unkind. Since the elders were not benevolent, how could they ask the juniors to respect them? Moreover, even the Empress Dowager had rebuked the Old Madam. It could be seen that she hated her very much, which made people dare not say anything more as they didn’t dare to anger the Empress Dowager.
“There are indeed some things that I can’t avoid. At most, I’ll just visit there and take more people with me. You know, they can’t do anything to me.” Shao Wanru shook Chu Liuchen’s hand and knew that he was worried about her. She said coquettishly, “I’ll be fine. It’s them who will be in trouble!”
“Will you really be fine?” Chu Liuchen’s face softened slightly.
“I promise I’ll be fine.” Shao Wanru nodded with a smile. She was very obedient, and her soft look made Chu Liuchen more relaxed.
Of course, he knew that Shao Wanru was not the kind of a delicate girl, but he was still worried. He always wanted to keep Shao Wanru around and even felt that it was better to keep her by his side all the time.
“Remember to tell me if anything happens.” He reminded Shao Wanru again. He gently kissed her pink and tender face, and his voice was like a spring breeze brushing her face.
Shao Wanru felt as if she were soaking in a warm spring. She took the initiative to lean over and gently leaned against him. She closed her eyes slightly and felt his hand holding her back as her heart calmed down.
“The Marquis Xing’s Mansion will not be peaceful from now on. I will definitely go there!” She would deal with the affairs of not only the second branch but also the third branch. Since the Third Madam intended to take her side, she would also give her some advice and ask her to propose dividing the family at the right time.
E’niang had a new identity, which was arranged by her grandmother. She had been roaming about with a Miss from an aristocratic family who was separated from her relatives. In order to repay her benefactor, she became a mistress with no status. It was very pitiful.
E’niang was quite sensible. From time to time, she would try to approach her grandmother in an attempt to get close to her. In fact, although her grandmother had ordered to find her, it was an old maid from the Imperial Censor’s Mansion who accidentally found out that E’niang was the daughter of the imperial censor.
After that, she had such an identity.
Since she got this identity, E’niang had been to Prince Chen’s Mansion. She was sent away by Shao Wanru, who was indifferent, and then went to Rui’an Great Elder Princess’s Mansion. Great Elder Princess did see her, but she just casually asked about her situation, rewarded her with some clothes, and then asked her to go back.
Compared with Shao Wanru’s approach, Rui’an Great Elder Princess was much kinder and closer to E’niang. She wanted to get close to Rui’an Great Elder Prince’s Mansion from time to time.
Of course, Shao Wanru knew this.
She was waiting for an opportunity.
“Something happened to Princess Yuyan?” Shao Jing pressed his hands impatiently and put them on the table, feeling distraught.
He had thought that Princess Yuyan’s matter would be a help to him and even wanted to get in touch with Princess Yuyan secretly. Unexpectedly, as soon as he sent someone to test Princess Yuyan a little, something happened to her in Ruiping Great Elder Princess’s Mansion.
“That’s right, Your Grace. His Highness wants you not to act rashly so as not to cause any other trouble. He is very angry at you for failing again and again.” The guard didn’t work for Marquis Xing’s Mansion but was a guard at Prince Cheng’s Mansion. Although he was in Marquis Xing’s Mansion now, his main responsibility was not to ensure the security of Marquis Xing’s mansion.
Prince Cheng deliberately sent his men to Marquis Xing’s Mansion for two reasons. Firstly, he wanted to help Shao Jing. Secondly, he could keep an eye on Shao Jing.
Shao Yanru’s plan was intervened by Prince Cheng, but on the surface, it was related to Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou. Now that the situation in the imperial court had developed to this extent, Prince Cheng could not bear it anymore. He was afraid that if he continued to endure it, all his years of forbearance would be in vain and his good time would be wasted.
He had been holding back from the time when he was young to so many years later. Prince Cheng felt that it was enough.
“I know that. I won’t ruin His Highness’s plan. But he agreed when I got in touch with Princess Yuyan’s people before.” Shao Jing was annoyed.
“But now you screwed it up!” the guard said rudely.
Hearing the guard’s unpleasant words, Shao Jing said angrily, “I didn’t screw it up. I don’t know what is wrong with Ruiping Great Elder Princess so that she let her granddaughter deal with Princess Yuyan.”
He stood up and walked around. “None of the Great Elder Princesses is great. Rui’an Great Elder Princess and Ruiping Great Elder Princess are both like this. This is truly worrying.
“Infanta Yuan’an is even the future Princess Zhou, but she does things without thinking.
“When Ruiping Great Elder Princess went to the imperial palace to ask for forgiveness, although it was an accident and she promised to cure Princess Yuyan’s injury, everyone felt that it was not an accident compared with what had happened before.
“It’s really a lie to say that it was an accident.
“Why did that pet dog have to bite Princess Yuyan? Why did it chase after her? Without biting someone else, it just bit her. Does she think everyone else is stupid?
“Princess Yuyan is indeed very annoying, but now I want to draw her over to my side. Originally, this matter was not difficult to deal with.
“Since Princess Yuyan arrived in the capital city, she is isolated and helpless at the moment. If I secretly reach out and help her, she would definitely take it. I didn’t expect that she would be so injured that she couldn’t get up from bed in just a few days.
“How useless!”
Shao Jing was furious.
“Your Grace, you’d better deal with the matter of the Miss of your mansion. This is the letter she asked His Highness to send over. You will understand after reading it.” The guard took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Shao Jing’s table. There was not much respect for his behavior.
“Okay, okay. Got it.” Shao Jing was annoyed and waved his hand directly.
...
The guard left. When he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Shao Jing. “If you don’t hurry up, the Miss of your mansion will suffer a loss.”
His words reminded Shao Jing of some unpleasant things, and his face darkened. “I see.”
There was a surge of anger in his heart. His daughter was going to be the Empress’s daughter, but now she could only escape secretly for no reason. If she had no proper status, she could only become Prince Cheng’s concubine in the end. Even if Prince Cheng ascended the throne in the future, Shao Jing’s daughter would only be a low-leveled imperial concubine at most.
Thinking of this, Shao Jing became more and more annoyed. He had to get E’niang into the mansion as soon as possible and let Madam Jiang die in Shao Wanru’s hands.
When he opened the letter, he found that it was indeed written by Shao Yanru. She reported that she was safe at the beginning and had left the palace safely. Then, she urged him to act faster, which made Shao Jing a little angry and very annoyed. “If I could, I would. But now I can’t act faster!”
After that, he suddenly read the last part of the letter, and his eyes lit up slightly. “There’s such a thing that I didn’t know before. With this, some things will be easier to deal with!”
He picked up the letter and read it carefully. After figuring out what it meant, he was overjoyed. The Mansion of the Prime Minister was right next to him, and he could ask someone to open the side door quietly.
