Chapter 117 Throwing a Brick to Attract Jade; Similar Paintings

After Chu Liuchen left, Qin Wanru found Madame Dong and let her go out with Wang Feng to see if there was a suitable store for tomorrow. She wanted to open a shop for embroidery and accessories in the capital city.

Dong Xiuer’s legs were much better because of Qin Wanru’s recent diagnosis and treatment. Because of this, Madame Dong was so grateful to Qin Wanru and respected Qin Wanru very much.

Hearing that Qin Wanru wanted her to go out to find a premises, she nodded quickly. But she also told Qin Wanru that this matter could not be done in a rush, and she needed to take her time to choose wisely.

She also had just arrived in the capital, so she was not familiar with the workings of the capital. She first had to check out the road conditions, as well as the rent on various streets and the state of the shops on the streets. Only after this analysis could she decide where to choose. Also, she had to ask if anyone wanted to sell. She was afraid that Qin Wanru, who was like a little girl, didn’t understand this.

Qin Wanru smiled and agreed that Madame Dong was fully in charge of the matter.

She knew she didn’t understand this business. It was best for Madame Dong to take full charge of it. She could see that Madame Dong was really trying to help her choose a good place.

Since the matter was properly settled, Madame Dong left. But when she walked to the door, she ran into Qing Xue. Fortunately, neither of them had been walking fast. But even so, Madame Dong was shaken and stumbled. Yujie saw this and helped her.

“Sorry. Sorry. Is Madame Dong hurt?” Qing Xue asked with a face full of concern.She handed a tray she was holding to the little servant girl behind her.

Her voice was warm and soft, and she smiled before she spoke. It made people feel good.

The reason why they bumped into each other was that Madame Dong had been walking too quickly. So, it was not Qing Xue’s fault.

“It’s okay. It’s okay!” Madame Dong smiled. She respected the servant girls in Qin Wanru’s yard. So although her arm was hurt, she did not show it.

“You should come to my house to check it out. If it’s really bruised, I will apply some medicinal wine as soon as possible so that you won’t get hurt to the bones.” Qing Xue spoke softly, reached out her hand, and guided Madame Dong to the house where she lived.

“Sorry for the trouble, Miss Qing Xue!” Madame Dong was helpless, and she felt a lot of pain.

Seeing the two people walking away, Yujie returned into the house. “Miss, Qing Xue ran into Madame Dong and took Madame Dong to her house. She said that she wanted to check if Madame Dong was hurt.”

Qin Wanru looked up and thought about it before she asked, “Madame Dong followed her?”

Yujie could tell that Madame Dong did not want to go before. But after listening to the words of Qing Xue, Madame Dong changed her mind. “Madame Dong did not want to go at first. But Qing Xue said that if it was a bruise, it’s better to apply some medicinal wine early so as not to get hurt to the bones!”

“She really knows how to win people’s heart!” Qin Wanru smiled slightly.

“Did she also arrange for Madame Dong to be with Qu Le?”

“According to the Miss’s will. They are all in one place.” Yujie nodded.

“Then, have Qu Le continue to watch her! She just came to the capital, and she has already begun to stir things up!” Qin Wanru snorted coldly. There was almost no problems when Qing Xue was in Jiangzhou. She had already begun to stir things up after just arriving here.

Qin Wanru remembered she was trying to investigate the seal. She had checked the small seal countless times, but she still couldn’t understand the connection between the seal and herself.

In her last life, Qin Yuru was loved by the Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion because of this seal, and Qin Yuru also said that the seal was her own. So, most likely, the seal was related to her family.

“Is it time to make some dresses?” Qin Wanru walked over to the window and asked slowly after taking the writing brush from the inkstone.

Qin Mansion had this custom. The masters would make several sets of clothes every season. Back when they were in Jiangzhou, they were busy with the house-moving, so they did not have time for clothes. The winter clothes that should have been done long ago had not yet been made.

“It’s time to make the clothes. I heard Nanny Duan say that people from the sewing room will come to the Miss and take measurements to make the clothes,” Yujie replied.

“When will they come?” Qin Wanru untied the top two toggle-and-loop buttons of her collar. From the inside, she pulled out the small seal she had hung around her neck. She took it off and put it on the table. Then she painted it according to the pattern on the seal.

“She said it’s either today or tomorrow. Nanny Duan said that Madam Shui said to first measure the sizes of Madam Di and the Young Lady, and then the Second Miss. It may take some time!” Yujie said.

Qin Wanru knew what Shui Ruolan was doing. Although she was in charge of the internal affairs, her power was not stable at all. At this time, she should show respect to the original wife and daughter.

“Well, if the people from the sewing room are here, you give them this pattern and have them embroider the pattern on the corners of the new clothes!” Qin Wanru put down the writing brush, looked at the bluegrass pattern on the paper, and looked at the pattern on the seal.

If she remembered correctly, Qin Yuru had several dresses with similar patterns back then, and she always liked to wear them when she went to Duke Xing’s Mansion.

“Miss…” Yujie just stood by her side and saw it clearly. The Miss drew the bluegrass pattern similar to the little seal, but the drawing was not exactly the same. She hesitated and said, “Miss, these two patterns are different!”

“I wanted to make them different!” Qin Wanru smiled slightly. She picked up the paper and went over to the window to look at it.

Several leaves were drawn in different directions. But the shape of the bluegrass was still very similar, especially the leaf, which was highlighted above the other leaves and was exactly the same as the one on the seal.

But before she knew the truth, she did not want to expose herself. There was a secret in her personal history. Some things should unfold slowly.

She knew that this Madam of Duke Xing liked Qin Yuru very much for no reason, and had even brought Qin Yuru to Duke Xing’s Mansion and raised Qin Yuru as her legal daughter. When Qin Yuru got married, this Madam even gave Qin Yuru some dowry!

Therefore, Qin Yuru not only had the name of a talented woman, but also got married into Duke Yong’s Mansion with five kilometers of red dowry , which was a lot at the time!

However, because this Madam spoiled Qin Yuru too much, Qin Yuru did not marry until she was 18. The Madam liked her even more than her granddaughters in the mansion.

Of course, Qin Yuru said this in front of her with an arrogant tone. She said that the Madam liked her so much that the Madam did not want her to get married too early and kept her by her side for a long time. That was why her granddaughters in Duke Xing’s Mansion could not compare to her.

But what made Qin Wanru feel strange was that every time she met the Madam of Duke Xing, it was an unpleasant experience. This made Qin Wanru hate Madam of Duke Xing even more!

The first time she saw the Madam was at Madam Di’s place. Madam Di stood in front of the Madam of Duke Xing with her head down.

At that moment, what she could sense was the coldness and deep disgust of the Madam of Duke Xing.

Qin Wanru was trembling with fear at the moment, only thinking the Madam acted like that because of the rumors of her bad reputation. But she felt that this was very doubtful after her rebirth.

As for the Madam of Duke Xing, even if she really didn’t like Qin Yuru, she shouldn’t have called Qin Yuru over and looked at her in a disgusted way. She sized up Qin Yuru for a long time and then let Qin Yuru go back. During the whole process, she did not speak directly to Qin Yuru. But Qin Wanru could sense the deep disgust even though there were no evil words.

In particular, when Qin Yuru went outside, she heard the Madam of Duke Xing talking to Madam Di with contempt. “Is this the Second Lady of your mansion? Hmph… She’s hopeless!”

She did not hear clearly afterward. She only heard the murmuring of Madam Di. Later, her marriage was canceled again and again, which was related to Duke Xing’s Mansion and the Madam of Duke Xing.

After carefully thinking about it, there had to be an inevitable connection between them, which was related to her history and Duke Xing’s Mansion.

In this life, Madam Di had not yet managed to claim ties of kinship with Duke Xing’s Mansion. She had not yet conspired with the Madam of Duke Xing to control Qin Wanru. What Qin Wanru had to do was to find the connection first.

The seal was the key!

“Yes, Miss. I got it!” Yujie took the half-dried paper, carefully placed it on one side of the table, and suppressed it with paper.

“Miss, how many patterns like this would you like to embroider?”

“One. Only embroider one on the clothes, just at the corner of the dress. Just one!” Qin Wanru thought for a moment. Before she found out who was friend or foe, she would not reveal all of her secrets. For now it was just a similar pattern. She would see if there was any connection.

Throwing a brick to attract jade . This was something she was unable to understand in her last life. She would slowly figure it out now..

The people in the sewing room were settled when the supervisor entered the mansion. The supervisor knew that the masters would need to make the clothes of the season after moving to the capital. They would definitely not wear old clothes when attending banquets in the capital city.

As they debuted in the aristocrat circle in the capital city, they would want to shine so as to mingle around and blend in quickly.

The staff of the sewing room was fast. At dusk, five old women came over with a ruler and many brocades. They were very careful since it was the first time for them to take measurements for their master!

But something just happened while taking measurements for the Young Lady…
