Medical Princess
chapter-316

Some people in Duke Xing’s Mansion might know her biological parents did have a daughter, and they had never given up looking for her, secretly. Therefore, Madam of Duke Xing plotted against her time and again.

After she lived in the imperial palace in her previous life, Madam of Duke Xing could not do her any harm, but her daughter Shao Yanru came to kill her. Their strategy of destroying her was extremely cruel but extremely precise.

In this life, she could find out the truth.

No wall in the world could stop secrets from being spread, and she would find their flaws from the walls of Duke Xing’s Mansion.

After rolling up the painting slowly and putting it back on the bookshelf again, Qin Wanru turned around to walk out, but before she went to the door, she suddenly heard a sound coming from outside. It seemed a large group of people had arrived, and she made a gesture of pressing her hands together.

Yu Jie understood and hurried over to close the door. The two of them went to the window, gently pulled aside a corner of the curtain, and looked out.

“Who dares to splash ink on it?” Shao Yuanhao’s childish voice was very obvious. Although they could not see him in the crowd, they knew he was among them.

“This…this is Old Madam’s idea and she said when she sees this, she will think of…” the servant girl in red said ambiguously, and dared not mention the name of the former Heir of Duke Xing’s Mansion.

There was no heir of the duke in Duke Xing’s Mansion, for the request for getting the title had not been approved. First Young Master was the duke and his official wife’s first son, and the mansion’s request booklet had already been submitted, but the emperor had not replied yet. It was said that Rui’an Great Elder Princess stopped that.

The servant girl only heard of this matter, but she was clear about one thing: She was not allowed to utter the name of the former Heir of Duke Xing randomly!

“Why does my grandmother want to erase my father’s characters? My grandma has yet to see them, but why will she think of my father when she sees them?”

Shao Yuanhao shouted angrily.

For him, coming to Duke Xing’s Mansion today was an unexpected tour. In the beginning, Rui’an Great Elder Princess, the one with the high status, did not think she needed to witness Madam of Duke Xing adopting a daughter, and had planned not to attend, thinking that sending some gifts was enough to honor Madam of Duke Xing!

Unexpectedly, Shao Yuanhao heard about it and wanted to come, and threw a tantrum. Helplessly, Rui’an Great Elder Princess had to ask two of her close old maids to go along with him.

Shao Yuanhao had been playing in the front yard since he arrived at Duke Xing’s Mansion and did not rush to the backyard. When the two servant girls went to report the secret, he happened to hear them and came out instantly, and was angry.

After reporting the secret, the two servant girls left, then Shao Yuanhao came with a large group of servant girls and old maids from Rui’an Great Elder Princess’s Mansion, and the two groups of people met at the gate. After asking the two servant girls and learning that the ink in the buckets would be used to cover his father’s characters, Shao Yuanhao overturned them at once.

That was why there was so much noise.

At this time, the ink buckets were strewn all over the ground. Shao Yuanhao stood in the crowd and before the screen wall, and also asked all the servants of the Rui’an Great Elder Princess’s Mansion to stand in front of it, but did not allow the people of Duke Xing’s Mansion to come near.

Although this area was remote, someone had already told Madam of Duke Xing, when Shao Yuanhao came ferociously with the large group of people. Before they could talk much, Madam of Duke Xing had rushed over with her servants.

Earlier, she was speaking with a few noble madams, but then she apologized to them, not able to entertain any guests now, and went over hurriedly.

Several madams followed her silently, but they were far behind her.

As soon as Madam of Duke Xing entered the courtyard, she heard Shao Yuanhao’s words and rushed over to coax him, “My dear Hao’er, this is your grandma’s decision, and it is good to listen to your grandma; after the characters are covered, I will make have it painted white for you, and then you can write characters on it!”

“I don’t want that. I want my father’s characters!” Shao Yuanhao shouted as he pushed Madam of Duke Xing away, his eyes turning red.

When Madam of Duke Xing came, the crowd gave way for her. Qin Wanru happened to see Shao Yuanhao’s look clearly, and felt the pain in her eyes.

This was her younger brother, who had the same bloodline, and was her closest relative. In her previous life, they had never seen each other. She and her brother had fallen victim to others’ struggle for power.

Madam of Duke Xing never thought Shao Yuanhao would push her and she nearly fell. Her principal maid Le Qing, came over hurriedly to support her as she staggered from the push!

After she steadied herself, she became serious and asked, “Hao’er, can you behave yourself?”

“I won’t. I want my father’s characters, I don’t want to write characters, and I only want my father’s characters!” Shao Yuanhao cried loudly, waved his hands about, and did not allow anyone to approach him, forcing Madam of Duke Xing to stay far away from him.

“Servants, Master Hao is crying non-stop. Take him away!” Madam of Duke Xing had a disgusted look in her eyes, but she looked like she cared about him.

Nanny Sheng came out hurriedly, ready to take Shao Yuanhao away. “Master Hao, come with me. The servants have found the two crickets you liked last time. Master Hao, let’s take a look. I’ve heard they are so powerful that the other crickets can’t defeat them!”

“I don’t want, I don’t want crickets, I only want my father, and I only want my father’s characters!” Hao’er cried loudly, and reached out his hands to push Nanny Sheng away.

“Hao’er, if you don’t behave yourself, I will ask your grandma to lock you up.” Madam of Duke Xing’s face became serious and cold, and then she winked at Sheng Ye, who understood her, and went to catch Shao Yuanhao’s hands while coaxing him, “Master Hao, don’t cry, let’s go and talk to Old Madam, and Old Madam may feel sorry for you!”

Shao Yuanhao hesitated. After Madam of Duke Xing became angry, he seemed a little afraid, as he looked at Madam of Duke Xing with his big, teary eyes, and also at the screen wall behind him. After all, he was still a child. He was afraid of Madam of Duke Xing, and he seemed to want to compromise.

An old maid standing behind Shao Yuanhao suddenly took two steps forward and slapped Nanny Sheng twice. Sheng Ye was now squatting, and she suddenly fell. “Bold old maid, you dare to touch Master Hao!”

No one had expected it. Almost dark-faced with anger, Rui’an Great Elder Princess glared at the old maid. She dared not disgrace Rui’an Great Elder Princess, but she dared to hit an old maid.

“You are so presumptuous, this is Duke Xing’s Mansion!” Madam of Duke Xing said sternly.

The old maid looked at Madam of Duke Xing calmly and bowed to her. “I know you are Madam of Duke Xing, but our princess has ordered that no one in Duke Xing’s Mansion should touch the young master. If anything bad happens to the young master, the entire Duke Xing’s Mansion will be responsible! Our infanta has passed away, and this is our princess’s only blood kin, the royal blood. No one can touch him so easily!”

These words were impolite and almost meant that Madam of Duke Xing should not touch Shao Yuanhao. If anyone else had spoken in such a manner, Madam of Duke Xing would slap the speaker at once.

But these were the words of Rui’an Great Elder Princess. Besides, the so-called royal blood was also real. Shao Yuanhao’s mother was Infanta Qinghua, and so he was of royal blood.

“You are only a servant!” Madam of Duke Xing became sullen.

“I am only a servant, but our Great Elder Princess took me from the palace, and I served the Empress Dowager in the past!” the old maid raised her head and said proudly.

All the people on site were shocked by what she said. No one was surprised that Rui’an Great Elder Princess had nannies from the palace, but they were surprised Shao Yuanhao also had such nannies. This meant Rui’an Great Elder Princess cared a great deal about Shao Yuanhao. She did not treat him as her daughter’s son, but as her family’s grandson.

The old maid had even been the servant of the Empress Dowager.

For this reason, no matter how distinguished Madam of Duke Xing was, she could not hit the Empress Dowager’s servant, or even if an Empress Dowager’s old maid slapped Nanny Sheng several times without reason, Nanny Sheng would have to admit that she was unlucky and forget about the slapping!

Could she slap her back?

Not only the honor of Rui’an Great Elder Princess, but also the honor of the Empress Dowager was at stake here!

Those madams who had followed Madam of Duke Xing here, were stunned and gazed at one another. “Does Rui’an Great Elder Princess really want to take the child away?

“This is unreasonable!”

After all, Shao Yuanhao’s surname was Shao, and his father was the former Heir of Duke Xing’s Mansion. If he lived with Rui’an Great Elder Princess, Duke Xing’s Mansion would be totally ashamed, and rumors would say that the mansion could not tolerate a child without parental love. This was something small and also big, and it was also related to the royal family.

Just now, these madams only wanted to see what was happening at Duke Xing’s Mansion, but they never expected to see something like this. They froze at the entrance of the courtyard, and looked on in silence. It was better not to interfere in royal matters, for whoever interfered would suffer.

The courtyard became strangely quiet.

Qin Wanru saw the expression of Madam of Duke Xing change dramatically. Obviously, she was trying to suppress her anger. Qin Wanru felt relieved. Protected by Rui’an Great Elder Princess, Shao Yuanhao did not seem to suffer today.

“Well, well, well, I can’t manage this. Anyway, this is Old Madam’s idea. Rui’an Great Elder Princess can mind Hao’er’s business, but she can’t rule everything in our Duke Xing’s Mansion.

Madam of Duke Xing felt ashamed. After saying this angrily, she turned around and left with her servants, as if she didn’t want to meddle in the matter anymore.

Rui’an Great Elder Princess was noble, but no matter how noble she was, she could not rule everything in another mansion. If Madam of Duke Xing could not paint over it today, she would do it tomorrow. Since she wanted to cover the screen wall, she did not believe she could not it!

When Madam of Duke Xing left, those madams naturally left. Only the servants of Rui’an Great Elder Princess and Shao Yuanhao stood beside the screen wall.

Seeing Madam of Duke Xing leave, Shao Yuanhao looked relaxed, pulled the clothes of the old maid beside him, and asked with confusion, “Why does grandma want to erase my father’s characters on the screen wall? Isn’t it good to let them stay? My father also intentionally left some space for me, and my characters will stay with my father’s in the future!”

As he said this, Hao’er were aggrieved, and his eyes turned red.

Although he had never seen his biological father, he had always been proud of him.

Although he had never seen his biological father’s face, he would still think of him. His mother’s mother said his father was terrific, not the incompetent father as his father’s mother said.

Inside the room, Qin Wanru’s eyes also turned red. Although they lived in different worlds, their relationship was not broken!
