Chapter 321 True Feeling or Hypocrisy?

“Can you take it out and show it?” Old Madam said.

“Yes, Old Madam!” Qin Yuru took out a seal from her cuff and presented it respectfully.

An old maid came over to take the seal and transferred it to Old Madam on the couch. Old Madam saw the pattern on it clearly and her tears fell down. Suddenly her face was full of tears.

“Old Madam, please don’t be so sad. Now that you have got news now, it is better than no news!” The old maid who presented the seal comforted her in a low voice.

“Why is he so cruel? He just left at that time. He really forgot his mother when he had a wife. And he had left for… so many years without any message. He, he…” Old Madam couldn’t help but cry and her tears fell down constantly.

“Old Madam, don’t be so sad. The plan of heir of the duke was temporary and he did not really want to fight against you… But who would have expected that this would happen… If heir of the duke knew this… he would not have done it!” The old maid comforted Old Madam in a low voice.

There were also several servant girls in the room standing with their heads lowered, who were just like clay sculptures.

“But he… Why didn’t he just understand that for whom I did all these things… He had got married for such a long time without a child… Could it be that she was right…” Old Madam cried and said angrily.

“Old Madam you are right. Your decision at that time was certainly right. If heir of the duke knows that, he would certainly agree with you… But now the accident happened, right… If heir of the duke was here now, he would have already known his mistake. Old Madam really did everything for him…” The old maid continued to persuade her.

These words seemed to comfort Old Madam and she wiped her tears, raised her head with red eyes, turned around with soft eyes and waved to Qin Yuru. “Child, come here, let me see you!”

“Yes!” Qin Yuru said softly, stepped forward, and walked in front of Old Madam.

Old Madam’s eyes fell on the face of Qin Yuru softly, and the color of her eyes was very soft. She looked at Qin Yuru up and down.

“You see, Old Madam. She really looks like heir of the duke!” the old maid said on one side with interest. “You see, her eyes are exactly like those of heir of the duke!”

Old Madam nodded, then said carelessly, “The other parts of her are not like his but her eyes are really like his.”

“Other parts should be like those of princess…” The old maid fawned on her with smile, but she was interrupted by Old Madam impolitely. “Don’t tell me her things!”

“Yes, yes, I said something wrong!” The old maid apologized carefully.

It was true that she had said something wrong. Old Madam always did not like the former Princess. That she mentioned her made the Old Madam unhappy.

“Child, have you thought about coming to Duke Xing’s Mansion?” Old Madam looked at Qin Yuru kindly and said.

“Old Madam… We need to plan it for a long time.” The old maid reminded Old Madam of that on one side.

Old Madam nodded, looked at Qin Yuru and reached out to touch her head. “If your mother beats you again, just come to find me. I will help you!”

She was overwhelming with such an attitude to help Qin Yuru deal with everything. Qin Yuru’s eyes became red and she nodded hard. “Thank you, Old Madam!”

“You don’t need to thank me. I am your…” Old Madam paused here, and didn’t say any more after a thought. She sighed heavily. “Your mother is wayward!”

Qin Yuru didn’t understand her words for a while. She didn’t know she was blaming Madam Di or other people. But looking at Old Madam’s absent-minded eyes without any focus, Qin Yuru didn’t think that she was talking about Madam Di.

But the appearance of Old Madam was a little frightening. There were no people where she looked at. But Old Madam seemed to see somebody there and became angry on her face. “See what you have done! You have made such a noise with just several servant girls sent to you. You don’t have the royal manner.”

“Was Old Madam talking to herself and did she see anything?” Qin Yuru couldn’t help but feel frightened. She stepped back subconsciously, seeming to be scared.

“Old Madam, Old Madam…” After the old maid stared at Qin Yuru, she comforted Old Madam with a soft voice. Seeing that was useless, she reached out to stretch her sleeves.

Old Madam’s eyes moved a little bit, and she seemed to be awakened by her old maid. She turned to look at Qin Yuru with kind eyes. “Do you want to be the granddaughter of Duke Xing’s Mansion?”

The question was as abrupt as before, and Qin Yuru looked like she did not know what to answer.

Seeing that Qin Yuru stayed still there, Old Madam seemed to know that Qin Yuru could not accept it at once. She smiled and said, “Go back and ask your mother that would she let you be the granddaughter of our Duke Xing’s Mansion. I will ask Wanyan to take you as her foster daughter. How do you think about it?”

The so-called Wanyan was the name of Madam of Duke Xing.

“Thank you Old Madam!” Qin Yuru bit her lips, feeling surprised and excited.

“This was originally the fate. When I saw you, I felt that it was fateful! Now you can go home!” Old Madam sighed and thought that the Madam in Qin’s Mansion wouldn’t refuse this thing.

Things were changing so quickly that Old Madam could not calm down yet. She had something in her heart and waved to Qin Yuru to let her go home.

“Yes, Old Madam!” Qin Yuru’s heart fell to the ground, and she couldn’t hide the happiness on her face. She lowered her head in a respectful way and said, hiding the joy in her eyes.

Just as what her mother said, as long as the Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion saw this seal, she would put forward the statement to let her come to the Duke Xing’s Mansion. This was originally Qin Yuru’s and Madam Di’s plan.

Before she was a little frightened. But she didn’t think that things could go so smoothly.

Since then, she was the Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion, who was exalted among Misses from aristocratic family. Thinking about this, Qin Yuru couldn’t help but laugh. Qi Rongzhi was nothing, who was only accepted by Madam of Duke Xing without any care. She was the only person that got the affection of Old Madam of Duke Xing.

As for Qin Wanru, in the future, she would hold her in her hands. If she wanted her to die, she would never live.

Of course, there was also Shui Ruolan. Her mother had said that as long as she could successfully enter Duke Xing’s Mansion, her father would certainly let her mother go out. Shui Ruolan wanted to fight against her mother. How could she?

A woman without any background dared to think about the position of legal wife in Qin’s Mansion. Even if she was pregnant, her mother would not let the child be born.

After retreating to the outside gate of the courtyard, Qin Yuru couldn’t hide the joy on her face. She laughed softly with a low voice and turned around with a handkerchief covering her face, afraid of being seen by others.

“Old Madam, she is the daughter of heir of the duke?” Qin Yuru had left and the room became quiet. After a while, the old maid asked cautiously.

“She is the daughter of my first son. I have found her after so many years. But the child is pitiful for regarding another person as her mother for a long time. Seeing from the behavior of her just now, she would protect her adoptive mother. Even if her adoptive mother treated her like this, she didn’t say anything bad about her. And she even cheated herself!”

Old Madam sighed and said.

“First Miss Qin’s temper is just the same as that of Old Madam before. From this we could also believe that First Miss Qin is the daughter of heir of the duke!”

The old maid said quickly with interest.

Old Madam nodded again and again with a slight smile on her face, but then the smile disappeared. “Can’t I recognize her publicly?”

“The meaning of the Madam is this. You know that Rui’an Great Elder Princess dislikes our mansion all the time. If we recognize her publicly in a big way, some other things would happen. Moreover, if we finally really recognize her, Rui’an Great Elder Princess would take her away just like what she did on Master Hao. Our mansion had brought him up for so many years carefully. But when Great Elder Princess said what she wanted to Empress Dowager, Master Hao was taken away!”

Her words made Old Madam become angry on her face. She patted the case beside her hands. “It was so deceiving. I didn’t like people in the mansion of Rui’an Great Elder Princess at first because she would have a poor fate. Now it was true in that she lost her father when she was young!”

At that time, Old Madam was extremely opposed to that marriage. But she could do nothing because heir of the duke Shao Jiang fell in love with Qinghua Princess and asked the emperor to allow them to get married.

“That’s the truth. Old Madam’s words were always right,” the old maid answered carefully. If the words came out, she might lose her life as an old maid.

But at this time she said in front of Old Madam, which seemed to be very sincere.

Old Madam sighed heavily and kept silent for a while. She said after a while, “Just follow what Wanyan said. After all we let her go back to our mansion. Whether she could admit her ancestors is not a big thing. After all she is only a daughter. Although she is the daughter of my first son, we don’t care it so much because of Hao’er. But the child is suffered for being the real Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion with a name of foster daughter!”

Speaking of this, Old Madam felt sad, her eyes turning red. She wiped her tears with her handkerchief.

“Old Madam, don’t be sad. Your body can’t stand it. Besides, even if First Miss Qin can’t clearly recognize her ancestors, Old Madam loves her a little more so that people should know that although First Miss Qin is the foster daughter of Madam, she gets the affection of you. The value of her would be increased.”

The old maid comforted her again in a low voice.

Old Madam nodded and said, “I can only think like this now! The newly received girl with the last name Qi should be put aside. Yuru is my own granddaughter, so let Wanyan pay more attention to her. Don’t treat her the same as the girl with the last name Qi!”

“Yes, I will explain to Madam later and tell her that you have recognized the identity of First Miss Qin!” the old maid nodded and said.

After saying this, she seemed to have something else to say. But she felt it difficult to say it out.

Immediately, Old Madam felt her embarrassment and wiped her tears with her handkerchief and said, “Say, what else do you want to say!”

“It’s that shadow wall of heir of the duke. Madam asked me to ask…” The old maid became more hesitated and said with a helpless face.
