Chapter 386 In Fact, There is Another Witness

This was forcing Qin’s Mansion to concede!

Moreover, Shui Ruolan had to be dragged into the water to make it to the court. If Madam Di went to the court, Shui Ruolan also had to go to the court. Considering Shui Ruolan’s weak body currently, coupled with her depressed heart and shame, this might kill her instantly!

Duke Yong’s Mansion really knew how to plan things well. Madam Di’s current situation would make people pity her. Even if there were evidences, many people would stand by Madam Di’s side. Added that Duke Yong’s Mansion would help her secretly, and even Duke Xing’s Mansion would help her, even if it was the court, the hearing would only be unjust.

The only witness was that doctor, but if something happened to the doctor, there would be no more reliable witness!

Qin Wanru sneered in her heart. Last night Duke Yong’s Mansion did not plan to assault her directly. It seemed to discuss how to deal with it, and may even get someone’s guarantee so that today, they came over here aggressively with so many people!

Yesterday there was such a big incident involving Madam Di. Of course, it would be immediately reported to Duke Yong’s Mansion!

“Old Madam, please walk slowly. In fact, there is another witness.” Qin Wanru smiled slightly, as she stepped forward and said.

Duke Yong Old Madam held her head high and said nothing. She was arrogant. Di Fenglan sneered: “Second Miss Qin, another witness, where is the person?”

“This person’s status is too high, I can’t state his name here!” Qin Wanru said indifferently.

Old Madam from Duke Yong’s Mansion looked at Qin Wanru’s calm face, and her heart skipped suddenly, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Who?” Countess Yong looked anxious and asked hurriedly.

“Actually, yesterday I saw the incident in Madam Di’s yard, and I also saw those old maids answering your questions, and there was a distinguished guest who spoke to the doctor. Coincidentally, he came to our mansion yesterday and knew about the whole incident. This thing need not be brought to the court. The distinguished guest knows everything! And if he can tell the truth, everything will be clear!”

Qin Wanru said this with a calm face.

“Who else could it be?” Countess Yong gritted her teeth.

“Prince Yue, His Highness, happened to be in our mansion yesterday. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him!” Qin Wanru said magnanimously.

Her words made several people’s faces in Duke Yong’s Mansion freeze. None of them had expected that Prince Yue had witnessed the whole scene, and from her words it seemed that he had seen everything about Qin Huaiyong’s matter of the witness, clearly.

“Old Madam, if you don’t believe me, you can go to Prince Yue’s Mansion and ask!” Madam Dowager also responded at this time and raised her head to speak bluntly.

Go over to Prince Yue’s Mansion, knowing that Madam Di’s injuries had been self-sustained? Countess Yong looked at Old Madam, and was embarrassed. It was possible they would be scolded, if they went to ask.

Old Madam’s face grew even more sombre. Their aim was to put all the blame on Qin’s Mansion. And they thought that Qin’s Mansion would not fight with them and would certainly make a number of concessions. They did not really want to go to the court. But if they used it as the prerequisite, Qin’s Mansion would certainly compromise.

At that time, regardless of whatever conditions they proposed, Qin’s Mansion would have to agree.

However, they did not expect that it had been witnessed by Prince Yue. With Prince Yue as a witness, no matter what they said or threatened, it was useless. And Duke Yong’s Mansion might even be severely burned.

Even though Madam Di was the daughter of Old Madam, she had nothing to do with Countess Yong. Compared to her own benefits, of course, Countess Yong was certainly afraid that this would affect her children, and that it would influence Duke Yong’s Mansion. If this was really a farce caused by Madam Di, which was aimed at hurting Shui Ruolan, Duke Yong’s Mansion would be filled with shame, when more people knew that Prince Yue was the witness.

And furthermore, her daughter’s marriage would be affected.

Countess Yong could not bear it.

“Old Madam ….”

“Prince Yue, His Highness really saw it?” Old Madam’s gaze fell coldly on Qin Wanru’s face, noticing the slightest expression on Qin Wanru’s face.

Qin Wanru raised her head and looked at Old Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion directly. She said with a calm face, “If Old Madam does not believe me, my grandmother can send someone over to ask Prince Yue now!”

The assassination of Prince Cheng happened only last night, and even the most favored Prince Chen was involved. Prince Yue must be looking into yesterday’s events at this time. This time if they troubled him with such a trivial thing, Duke Yong Old Madam did not dare to do that.

Looking at Qin Wanru’s face which was emotionless, Old Madam hesitated.

Could this be true? Otherwise, Qin Wanru would not dare to say such a thing with such a cocksure attitude, that she would ask him to come here to give his counterview.

Duke Yong Old Madam was aware about the thing happening with Madam Di last night. That doctor was sent there because of their intimation. She had not thought that the person who had the accident was Madam Di.

“Madam Dowager, I want to see my daughter.” Old Madam reluctantly looked away from Qin Wanru’s face and looked at Madam Dowager. Her voice softened subtly.

“Nanny Duan, take Old Madam to Yulan Pavilion!” Madam Dowager nodded and felt relief in her heart, knowing that the crisis had been resolved.

“My daughter encountered something like this, and I heard that she can’t speak now. Shouldn’t Yuru not be allowed to go there?” Old Madam said coldly.

This meant, of course, to release Qin Yuru.

“Old Madam, please be assured. Big Sister was released at that time, and father originally meant that Big Sister should go over to serve Madam Di.” Qin Wanru smiled slightly and said. The words were to her expectation.

Right now, the problem was not whether Qin Yuru was allowed to serve Madam Di, but whether Qin Yuru had the face and dared to go there!

“Go!” Old Madam turned and said.

The crowd of people from Duke Yong’s Mansion followed her, going out of the door.

Seeing the people of Duke Yong’s Mansion leaving Madam Dowager was relieved. She secretly wiped away her cold sweat. Prince Yue was indeed there yesterday, but he saw only a few things. If they had asked him to be the witness, regardless of whether he was willing or not to do it, he would not be such a powerful witness, since he had not seen much.

Moreover, considering the identity of Prince Yue, he would not care about such inner court matters.

This was also a very unsolvable thing after Qin Huaiyong’s discussion with Madam Dowager last night. Knowing that Duke Yong’s Mansion was looking for trouble, they did not know to what extent they were going to make trouble. Qin’s Mansion would compromise only if only it related to many benefits, otherwise Madam Dowager and Qin Huaiyong had no intention to compromise.

But this kind of refusal might cause a fight between the two families. If this matter was really brought to the public court, Qin Huaiyong would definitely not get any benefits and his career might even be blocked.

He could not even handle the matters in his own backyard, so how could he deal with the affairs of the world. He could even have been assaulted by other officials. So many things rendered Madam Dowager and Qin Huaiyong unable to come to a decision.

Later, something happened outside. Qin Huaiyong told Madam Dowager before going out, that if Duke Yong’s Mansion came, they should not let them go until he came back.

She just did not expect that Qin Huaiyong was not back yet, after he went out this early morning. And Duke Yong’s Mansion came here in an aggressive manner, seemingly wanting to raise a big stink.

Fortunately, Qin Wanru’s words just now stopped Old Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion.

Thanks to Qin Wanru, of course. Considering that she, such a little girl, could be so calm, without any emotion on her face in front of so many people of Duke Yong’s Mansion, and managed to send away Old Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion. Madam Dowager felt aggrieved about this.

She reached out to let Qin Wanru sit down beside her and waved her hands to ask the servant girls and old maids in the room to retreat. Yujie also retreated to the door, looked outside, and stood by the door.

“Wanru, would they stop just like that?” Madam Dowager gave a worried sigh as she said this. She had no one to talk to at this time, and she appreciated Qin Wanru more, because of her earlier behavior, so she confided in Qin Wanru about her worries.

“Grandma, rest assured. They will not make any trouble temporarily!” Qin Wanru said this softly to comfort Madam Dowager.

“Temporarily? Would they make trouble from time to time?” Madam Dowager’s brows furrowed tightly.

“Grandma, whether they would make trouble in the future depends on the situation, but at least temporarily, they will not. Grandmother could send more people to serve in the courtyard of Madam Di, send away the old maids who watched at the door, and then let Yulan Pavilion be what it used to be.” Qin Wanru thought for a while and said this. Madam Di was almost damaged, considering her situation now, and she had been damaged by her daughter.

But no matter what, she looked really miserable now. What Qin’s Mansion had to do now was to treat Madam Di very well and to value her, so that Duke Yong’s Mansion would never have anything to say about this.

“Your father and I had the same idea, but …” Madam Dowager said in embarrassment.

“Grandmother is worried that there is nobody to serve Madam Di?” Qin Wanru said confidently, “Big Sister doesn’t have to be confined, she can go to serve Madam Di, so that Duke Yong’s Mansion will be satisfied!”

“It was our original intention to ask your Big Sister to serve Madam Di, but just now news came from Yuru that she had been too frightened yesterday, and now she is unable to get up!” Madam Dowager said, feeling a headache coming on.

It was an unquestionable moral truth for the daughter to serve her sick mother. But Qin Yuru was sick now and it seemed that her illness was serious. If there was nobody to serve Madam Di, it would be an unsuitable excuse, because there was also Qin Wanru in the mansion.

Even though Qin Huaiyong had ever said that Qin Wanru had nothing to do with Madam Di before, she was an elder who was miserable now, in addition to the fact that Qin Yuru was now sick.

But Madam Di had never been kind to Qin Wanru, so Madam Dowager was worried that Qin Wanru would feel wronged with Madam Di.

Both Madam Dowager and Qin Huaiyong knew that this time she suffered because of herself, but they had to pretend to be generous to her, for others to see. Otherwise people of Duke Yong’s Mansion would start a rumour based on some topics.

“Grandmother, let me serve Madam Di!” Qin Wanru smiled slightly, knowing about Madam Dowager’s embarrassment.

“You will go?” Madam Dowager frowned and hesitated, then shook her head, “You’d better not go!”

“But I am the only junior in our mansion now. If I don’t go, we can’t give a good explanation!” Qin Wanru analyzed with a smile.

These words made Madam Dowager silent for a while, and she lowered her head, exhaling a sigh of relief. Madam Dowager was really afraid that Madam Di would cause other problems. Even though Madam Di could not move now, Madam Dowager still felt uneasy.

“Grandma, don’t worry. Let me go. I believe that it won’t be long before Madam Di will ask me to come back.” Qin Wanru smiled and said this with confidence. That she did not go there and that Madam Di did not want her there, were two different concepts!

“Let my Big Sister go with me!” She added another sentence with a smile!
