Chapter 622 Guest Coming from the Back Door

“I’ll take care of this girl for more time!” Madam of Duke Xing said decisively.

Shao Yanru said disdainfully, “Why? You have raised her for so long! She has been provided with delicious food and drinks all the time. Do you really intend to raise her for the rest of her life?”

Since Wang Yishu came back from the palace in a faint, it was said that she was very weak and was so sick that she could hardly speak. She was maintained with medicine every day, but in fact, she was grounded in the yard. There were only one old maid and one servant girl to serve her. No one else was allowed to enter and no one inside was allowed to come out.

She seemed to live an imprisoned life.

“You don’t have to worry about this. Your father and I have other plans!” Madam of Duke Xing said impatiently.

Shao Yanru was unhappy in her heart, but there was a faint smile on her face. She stood up and said, “Mother, I am tired. You go to deal with Qin Yuru’s matter first. The longer this matter is delayed, the worse it will be for our mansion. Prince Yue and Prince Zhou were a little angry in the letter before. Please tell my father that if he can’t solve it as soon as possible, Prince Yue and Prince Zhou will be trouble for us. Maybe they will agree to Shao Yuanhao’s request.”

Although the request was Duke Xing’s Mansion’s own business, the other officials had the right to show their agreement or objection. When Duke Xing’s Mansion proposed this request, many officials who are in good relation with them opposed it. But if Prince Yue and Prince Zhou agreed, many officials would follow them. The position of Heir of Duke Xing might really fall into Shao Yuanhao’s hands.

“You should beg the two Princes and say something good. Just say that this matter will be dealt with as soon as possible, and try not to ruin your reputation!” Madam of Duke Xing said it again and again.

“Yes, mother, I’ll keep it in mind!” Shao Yanru’s voice became softer, and she looked very obedient. She bowed to Madam of Duke Xing, turned around, and walked out gracefully.

No one noticed the sarcasm in her eyes. So what if her mother and father were partial? She had her own way to make them anxious and rush to purify her reputation.

Her future was also related to the future of Duke Xing’s Mansion. She did not believe that they were not in a hurry. Of course, she would not let Shao Wanru go smoothly!

The trap she had set before, even if she left, could still be used. This time she left in a hurry, she didn’t believe that she could clean it up. There were still some of her people in the Yuhui Nunnery…

“Miss, Great Elder Princess asked you to stay in the mansion for a few days and said that she wanted to make some clothes for you. The cloth was given by the palace. She asked you to pick a few more!” Nanny Yu smiled and asked someone to put down the cloth. A dozen pieces of cloth were spread all over the table, looking very gorgeous.

Fortunately, although they were gorgeous, they looked very low-pitched. They were mainly silver-white, lake-blue, light green, and pink-white, decorated with dark-striped flowers. They were already very plain and clean.

They were also suitable for her to wear now.

Shao Wanru put down the book in her hands, walked to the table, and looked through it. Then she picked up two pieces of cloth, one of which was white with some gray raindrops, and the other one was light green with several green leaves at the bottom.

“Miss, these two pieces of cloth are too old-fashioned. They are not suitable for you to wear at your age!” Nanny Yu reminded her. These two pieces of cloth were not only unimpressive but also old-fashioned. They did not look like the kind that young girls were willing to wear.

“I’ll take these two. Originally, I don’t need to choose any one of them. I’ll go to Huaguang Temple in a few days. When I arrive at Huaguang Temple, I can still wear the clothes in Yuhui Nunnery before. They are convenient to wear, and they don’t look impressive. However, I can’t refuse my grandmother’s good intentions. These two sets of clothes are ok. I will not necessarily wear them. When I come back from Huaguang Temple in the future, I won’t need these thin autumn clothes!”

Shao Wanru said casually.

She did choose these two pieces of cloth deliberately. These two pieces of cloth were indeed not suitable for her. It was not that she did not know how to choose the cloth. A light piece of cloth was more suitable for a young girl to wear. However, she did not intend to make clothes at the moment. But it was hard to refuse her grandmother’s good intentions. It was better to implicitly show that she did not want to choose.

She should not refuse the things given by the elder! Besides, her grandmother felt that she owed her a lot and wanted to make it up to her wholeheartedly. If she told her directly, her grandmother might be sad again. She might as well pick two unsuitable ones to express her meaning implicitly!

This kind of cloth might not be passed by her grandmother. However, her grandmother must know what she meant. It was not that she did not accept her grandmother’s kindness, but it was not the proper time at the moment.

“Nanny Yu, if grandma asks, just say that I choose these two pieces for the time being. Now that Brother Hao and I are in trouble, it’s better not to give anyone a chance to talk about us!” Shao Wanru reminded Nanny Yu again.

“Yes, I understand!” Nanny Yu nodded with a distressing feeling. She also knew that this was the best way, but her miss was at her beautiful age. She had to wear the most unimpressive and inappropriate clothes, which made her feel sadder and sadder.

“Is grandma back?” She looked up at the sky outside the window. It was getting dark, but Rui’an Great Elder Princess had not come back from the palace yet. She could not help but feel worried.

“Don’t worry, Miss. I went to ask the supervisor nanny of Great Elder Princess before and she said that there would be such things in the past. Sometimes, the Empress Dowager talked with Great Elder Princess more excitedly, so she would come back after dinner. She asked you to have dinner first!”

“Then please set up dinner first!” Shao Wanru said.

“Miss, there is a carriage at the back door. It is said that First Miss Qi wants to see you.” Yujie hurried in and put down the food basket in her hands.

Behind her was an old maid. “Miss, this is the old maid who is in charge of the door of the backyard!”

“What’s going on?” Shao Wanru looked at the old maid and asked.

“Greetings, cousin Miss. I was guarding at the back door just now. I heard someone knocking on the door and opened it. It was an ordinary carriage. A servant girl stood at the door. When she saw me coming out, she handed me a letter. She said that she was the Miss of Magistrate Qi’s Mansion in Jiangzhou and wanted to see cousin Miss!”

As the old maid spoke, she handed over a letter respectfully.

Shao Wanru took it and took out the letter. When she saw that, she knew it was really written by Qi Rongzhi, but her eyes darkened.

Qi Rongzhi grew up with her, so she was very familiar with her calligraphy. Naturally, she could know it at a glance. It was getting late, and what’s more, she sent it at the back door. No matter how she looked at it, Qi Rongzhi seemed to be sneaky.

The words in the letter were very simple. “I can tell you something about your biological father!” ”

Her biological father had an accident at the border at that time, which was inconvenient to investigate in the capital city. But it was a little closer and easier to find something from Jiangzhou. If there was anyone else who could find anything, it could only be the magistrate of Jiangzhou apart from Qin Huaiyong.

And she did want to find out the truth about her parents.

Although everything seemed to be an accident, all these accidents led to the result that the people of the senior branch of Duke Xing’s Mansion were all dead except for a posthumous child. In the end, the second branch benefited from it. Moreover, Duke Xing’s Mansion brought up her younger brother in a bad way. Even if Duke Xing made a memorial and asked for a title for her younger brother in the future, there would inevitably be many people who would disagree.

Originally, Duke Xing’s Mansion didn’t insist on Shao Yuanhao. In addition, Shao Yuanhao was disappointing. Moreover, in the last life, Duke Xing’s Mansion didn’t even give Shao Yuanhao this opportunity. Instead, they directly “lost” Shao Yuanhao!

In this life, if she hadn’t happened to meet Hao’er and he lived in the Great Elder Princess’s Mansion, he would have died. From this life, it seemed that the second branch didn’t have any bad intentions toward her and her brother. But in fact, as what had happened in the last life, the second branch had been secretly plotting against her and her brother.

In the end, she and her brother lost their lives because of their plot!

Her parents, her younger brother, and herself all disappeared. From then on, everything in Duke Xing’s Mansion had nothing to do with her and her brother!

If Duke Xing’s Mansion was really so innocent, Shao Yanru should not have treated her like this in the palace at that time. After her rebirth in this life, she would make all the people who owed her pay back. Even if it had been so long, she would definitely reverse the case and let all the things be known to the world.

However, the letter came at the right time and seemed to be able to find out what she was thinking. Since when had Qi Rongzhi been so smart? If Qi Rongzhi was really so smart, she would not fall into such a bad situation. She should be worried about her situation in Duke Xing’s Mansion now!

Therefore, she was also anxious!

She held the letter in her hands and pondered for a while. Then she looked up at the old maid and asked, “Did you see the person in the carriage?”

“Miss, I didn’t see her. But the servant girl said that this was her Miss. She said that if you see this letter, you will definitely see their Miss!”

The old maid reported to her.

Shao Wanru put the letter in her hand into the envelope and then handed the envelope to the old maid. “Go and tell First Miss Qi that I am not in good health. I have taken the medicine and have already had a good rest. If she really wants to come, we can talk about it after a period of time!”

“Yes, I will reply to her now!” The old maid nodded and took the envelope. After bowing to Shao Wanru again, she turned around and left in a hurry.

“Miss, you don’t want to see Miss Qi?” Yujie set out the dinner and asked in surprise.

“It’s not me who is in a hurry now. It’s her. Why should I be anxious to see her? Besides, it might not be her!” Shao Wanru smiled slightly, picked up the rice that Qu Le served her, and said lightly.

“It may not be her? Who is she? What does First Miss Shao want to do?” The first person that Yujie thought of was Shao Yanru, and she immediately became furious.

Yujie really felt that First Miss Shao, who was the best at pretending, was too fake. Everything was perfect as if she was a dummy. She didn’t know whether those people had eyes or not. It was obvious that she was a vicious woman with a dignified appearance.

“It’s not Shao Yanru, it’s Qi Tianyu!” Shao Wanru’s face was slightly cold. This time, Qi Tianyu couldn’t sit still anymore. Qi Rongzhi was not so smart that she would hook her with such words, but Qi Tianyu could!
