Chapter 621 Cad and Ingrate

The carriage went straight to Prince Yue’s Mansion. As soon as it turned into the main street of Prince Yue’s Mansion, Shao Yanru’s calm voice came out of the carriage, “Go back to the mansion!”

The coachman took a big turn on the street and changed the direction of the carriage. After that, he asked seriously to Shao Yanru in the carriage, “First Miss, shall we go back to our mansion now?”

“Yes, go back to our mansion!” Shao Yanru pulled the handkerchief in her hand and frowned, but she did not look as annoyed as she had been just now after being irritated. At this time, she could not act rashly and blindly. If she came here rashly in a panic, people would definitely notice. Even if she entered from the back door, it would not be appropriate.

The more complex the situation was, the more she could not panic. She took a deep breath and suppressed all the anxiety in her heart. This matter had to be given further thought, and actually, her own affairs had not been solved yet. If something else happened, she would be doomed eternally. She had to calm down!

This time, the coachman did not hesitate and drove the carriage straight to Duke Xing’s Mansion.

When they arrived at the mansion, after the carriage stopped, Shao Yanru got off and walked slowly with Shuqi to the Yingyue Courtyard where Madam of Duke Xing lived.

Madam of Duke Xing was dealing with the affairs. When she saw Shao Yanru walking in with a calm face, she waved her hand and all the servant girls and old maids in the room left silently.

Only Nanny Sheng stayed there.

Seeing her daughter frowning, Madam of Duke Xing was a little anxious. Before Shao Yanru sat down, she asked, “How is it going?”

Shao Yanru sat down, picked up the teacup served by Nanny Sheng, took a sip, and then slowly put it down. She raised her head and said, “Mother, Shao Wanru is very stubborn. She didn’t say what Eldest Uncle left for her, and she spoke in a threatening manner with much confidence!”

“How dare she…” Madam of Duke Xing slammed her hand hard on the table, and the corner of her mouth turned cold.

“Mother, what on earth did Eldest Uncle leave behind?” Shao Yanru looked at Madam of Duke Xing and asked expectantly.

Madam of Duke Xing waved her hand and said impatiently, “I don’t know exactly. Your father means that there may be something important in your uncle’s hands, but whether it is true is not sure. Only after Shao Wanru shows it to us can we know!”

Speaking of this, Madam of Duke Xing was very depressed, because Duke Xing did not say this clearly. He only said that these things were very important to the whole Duke Xing’s Mansion, whose future it was also related to. If they could be found, it would be of great benefit to Duke Xing’s Mansion. Moreover, he could guarantee that his son would win in the end and become the Heir of Duke.

Duke Xing had submitted memorials to ask Emperor to confer Heir of Duke upon Shao Yuanhao. Madam of Duke Xing and Duke Xing had quarreled for this matter. Madam of Duke Xing felt a burning pain in her throat, and her eyebrows were full of hatred. It was all that b*tch. Definitely, it must be because of that b*tch.

For that b*tch, Duke Xing had done this and even sacrificed his son for it. Every time she thought of this, Madam of Duke Xing felt as if her heart was suppressed by something, which made her unable to breathe.

Why did her son have to look up to others?

“Mother, I can’t get the answer. If you really want to know, you can ask her by yourself!” Seeing that Madam of Duke Xing didn’t tell her the truth, Shao Yanru’s face darkened, and she put down the teacup in her hand heavily. She also had a lot of annoyances, so she really didn’t want to deal with Shao Wanru for this fabricated thing.

She knew nothing about it, so how could she find out anything from Shao Wanru? However, her mother seemed to conceal something and didn’t want her to know.

“How can you talk like this? Ru’er, what I do is all for you and your brother. As a mother, how could I hurt you?” There was a flash of sharp light in Madam of Duke Xing’s eyes. Her voice became soft and she comforted Shao Yanru.

“Mother, since we don’t know what that thing is, how can we get it from Shao Wanru? Mother, you know that Shao Wanru and I are just maintaining our relationship with dignity now. Shao Wanru may have already had complaints about me in her heart after this accident. She thinks that I was the one who stirred this up. How can she believe my words in this way?”

Shao Yanru couldn’t help feeling annoyed again. She really didn’t want to listen to Madam of Duke Xing’s lie. In her opinion, it had nothing to do with her but her eldest brother. Eldest brother should deal with this by himself. Why did they rely on her?

“Does she suspect that it has something to do with you?” Madam of Duke Xing sat upright and said indifferently, “The Ministry of Justice said that it was not a big deal and had nothing to do with our mansion. It was just an accident. Why does she become so scheming at such a young age and still not letting us go? It was Qin Yuru who invited her to go down the mountain. What does it have to do with us?”

Speaking of this, Madam of Duke Xing was really angry. She had been to Duke Yong’s Mansion before. Originally, she had thought it would be easy to let Duke Yong’s Mansion admit it because Countess Yong didn’t dare to disobey her. However, she didn’t expect that she would suffer setbacks.

Countess Yong had rejected all the conditions and benefits that she had proposed and refused her without hesitation. This was something that had never happened before. Duke Xing’s Mansion was in the first class, but Duke Yong’s Mansion was only a third-class Duke’s Mansion, which was not at the same level at all. In the past, Countess Yong had always tried to curry favor with her when seeing her, so Madam of Duke Xing had never thought that she would refuse.

Madam of Duke Xing was so angry that she left quickly!

“I don’t know why she insists on not letting me go. She thinks it’s my idea. Mother, it’s obvious that I can’t start from Shao Wanru. You’d better go to Duke Yong and tell him that by sacrificing a daughter-in-law with a bad reputation, he will get a daughter-in-law with a good reputation in the future. So he would definitely agree with it!”

Shao Yanru didn’t know that Madam of Duke Xing also came back in failure. She thought it was easier to start from Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion. In the past, she had seen the flattery of Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion to her mother. Almost as long as her mother said something, she would do it. She was very obedient and was much easier to deal with than Shao Wanru.

As long as Qin Yuru took all the responsibilities, Shao Wanru could put down her guard and even feel a little guilty to her so that she could take advantage of the opportunity to get in.

“She can’t do that. I don’t know what happened to her recently, but she insisted that Qin Yuru was not only her daughter-in-law but also Old Madam’s granddaughter. She can’t push her too far. Otherwise, she will be in trouble!” Madam of Duke Xing said gloomily.

“Mother, you must let her admit it. Otherwise, something terrible will really happen. Even if the people of the Ministry of Justice don’t investigate this matter, everyone in the capital city will think that we have done it. I came from the street just now and heard many people talking about our mansion. They are all saying that father is pretending. If you can’t settle the matter of Qin Yuru, unless father asks for the position of the heir of a duke again and again and asks for it to be given to Shao Yuanhao, the rumors outside won’t stop!”

Shao Yanru curled her lips and pushed Madam of Duke Xing. She didn’t believe that her mother wouldn’t be moved. Her mother always thought that the title of Heir of Duke Xing was in her brother’s pocket. If it didn’t belong to him, her mother would definitely feel worried.

Her mother pushed Duke Yong’s Mansion so that she could be more relaxed. Shao Yanru didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. They were both her mother’s children. Why should her mother think more about her elder brother and consider less about her?

“Is there really such a rumor outside?” As expected, Madam of Duke Xing’s expression changed greatly.

Shao Yanru thought for a while and said, “When I came here just now, I heard it through the carriage. I don’t know if it was because people on that road talked a lot about it or all the people in the capital city discussed it in private!” She said that she heard it occasionally so that it would add more importance to the matter. She knew clearly that her mother was suspicious.

Even if she was her biological daughter, she could not compare with her son.

Although she was more useful than her elder brother, her father and mother had more expectations for her elder brother.

“They’ve gone too far!” A sharp light flashed in Madam of Duke Xing’s eyes. She stood up, walked around the room twice, and finally calmed down and sat down again. “Ru’er, don’t worry. I will talk to Countess Yong again. As for you, you can talk to Qi Rongzhi. She ate us and used us. In the end, she even said some ambiguous words to accuse our mansion. We really raise an ungrateful person!”

“Mother, what Qi Rongzhi said before was said to the Ministry of Justice. Even if you want her to turn over her statement, it’s impossible!” Shao Yanru said coldly, “Since she has deliberately led this to us, you don’t have to take care of her. Didn’t my cousin say that he needed a legal wife! It’s a good position for her!”

“Wang Shengxue?”

Shao Yanru sneered and said, “It’s him. Except for him, who else is qualified to marry this ungrateful person? Coincidentally, he is also an ungrateful person. They are a match made for each other!”

Although Wang Shengxue was still in the capital city, he was not a motivated person. In the past, he relied on Duke Xing’s Mansion to live and his reputation was so bad that he had two concubines before getting married, Ning Xueqing and Dong Xing. So no decent girl was willing to marry him. He wandered around and gradually changed from a childe from an aristocratic family to an ignorant and incompetent playboy.

Originally, there was still some money in his family, but now the money was almost spent by him. From time to time, he would come to Duke Xing’s Mansion to ask for help.

Because of the reason of Wang Yishu, Madam of Duke Xing was quite generous.

“Well, just him!” Madam of Duke Xing sneered. She originally wanted to deal with this b*tch after the matter was settled, but now she happened to annoy her! Since she was nominally her Godmother, she would let this b*tch marry a dog-like person.

“Nanny Sheng, go and ask Wang Shengxue to come over later!” Madam of Duke Xing had an idea in her mind and had a cold smile on her face.

“Yes, Madam, I will go now!” Nanny Sheng came out behind her and said respectfully!

Shao Yanru nodded, picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and reminded Madam of Duke Xing, “Go quickly. I have to fulfill my cousin’s wish. Mother, what do you think of Wang Yishu?”

Nanny Sheng left quietly. When she reached the door, she even closed the door of the main room for them.
