Chapter 905 Excited! The Sowed Seeds

“Her Highness, I think he has something to do with Marquis Xing!” Madame Dong did not hide her suspicion and told it to Shao Wanru Bluntly.

“Second Uncle?” Shao Wanru’s heart skipped a beat, and her watery eyes slowly became suspected.

“Yes, I haven’t seen Marquis Xing before when I stayed in Marquis Xing’s Mansion. But on the day when I left there, I happened to see him, who also caught sight of me. I was surprised and remembered that he is the previous Second Young Master Shao!” Madame Dong gritted her teeth and said.

“What on earth is the thing?” Shao Wanru asked in confusion.

Madame Dong kept herself calm and slowly talked about the past. She was not very sure of the identity of Marquis Xing, but after Wei Dahai came to see her, she immediately figured out the answers to the questions.

That she came across Wei Dahai that day was obviously not an accident. It was probably his plan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so calm and hadn’t even given a glance at her.

It was obvious that he had known early that she would be there. And Marquis Xing was the only person who both had seen her before and had something to do with Wei Dahai because he was the previous Second Young Master Shao whom they both knew.

Shao Jing was also involved in the love story between Madame Dong and Wei Dahai. In the past, Shao Jing was just an ordinary Young Master from Marquis Xing’s Mansion. Although he was a legitimate son, he was not expected to get the position of the Heir of Duke Xing. His elder brother, the legitimate eldest son had become the heir early.

As the legitimate second son, he was not valued by his parents, and he made friends with wicked people.

Since he was the legitimate son who could not inherit the mansion, he had to choose to study since he was a child. He happened to be in the same major with Wei Dahai.

Moreover, both of them passed the examination, though their marks were almost at the bottom of the rank. They became good friends because of their low ranks.

After Madame Dong dug out that Wei Dahai cheated on her, the Second Young Master Shao even came to persuade Madame Dong to be Wei Dahai’s mistress! He also promised that Wei Dahai would come to visit her even he had married that Miss and that no one would figure out about her being a mistress of Wei.

“Why was he so sure?” Shao Wanru suddenly became suspicious when hearing Madame Dong talk about it. “There is no secret that can be buried forever in the world. How could Shao Jing be so sure that he could hide it from everyone else?”

Madame Dong gritted her teeth and explained, “Her Highness, Second Young Master Shao said that he would rent a courtyard for me in the name of him. So even if the Miss that Wei Dahai married found out the courtyard, she would be misled to believe that I was Second Young Master Shao’s mistress instead of Wei Dahai’s!”

Madame Dong was just a girl at that time, but her dignity was humiliated by Wei Dahai and Shao Jing like that!

“Wasn’t he afraid that Marquis Xing’s Mansion will punish him?” Shao Wanru felt that something was wrong. “When has Shao Jing been so enthusiastic?”

Judging from Shao Jing’s temperament, Shao Wanru didn’t believe that he would do such a thing that was good for others but not for himself!

“I don’t know. At that time, he didn’t say which mansion he came from. I only heard Wei Dahai call him Second Young Master Shao. And he looked very scheming!” Madame Dong said angrily.

Madame Dong had no good impression of the Second Young Master Shao, who was on the side of Wei Dahai at that time.

Shao Wanru thought for a few seconds and said, “Marquis Xing saw you that day and recognized you, and soon Wei Dahai came to meet you. They took action fast!” She felt strange about it and thought that there was something wrong.

“I also feel strange. How can Marquis Shao be so enthusiastic that he still remembers me after so many years?” Madame Dong said with a little sarcasm.

“Shao Jing does care too much about her. What’s more, hasn’t Madame Dong’s appearance changed since so many years passed?” Shao Wanru looked at Madame Dong up and down with huge confusion.

Since Madame Dong didn’t live a good life before, she looked much older than people of her age. So, how could Shao Jing recognize her, whom he had only met a few times so many years ago? What’s more, she was just a woman who had little to do with Shao Jing. He was not even involved when Madame Dong left at that time!

How could he recognize Madame Dong at one glance?

“How did you recognize my Second Uncle?” Shao Wanru decided to figure it out reversely.

“Second Young Master Shao looked kind and friendly. He smiled at everyone he met with a good temper. He was different from others. Even though so many years have passed, he has only become a little older and looked a little more dignified. He hasn’t changed in other aspects!” Madame Dong said slowly.

It was true that the Second Young Master Shao had not changed too much. Moreover, he looked different from others, so it was easy to recognize him.

Shao Jing was easy to recognize, but what about Madame Dong? Shao Wanru’s eyes fell on her again. Madame Dong was not the typical kind who could be easily recognized. Although her eyebrows and eyes could show that she should be a beauty when she was young, she looked quite ordinary now and it was hard to recognize her if she was in the crowd.

Shao Wanru didn’t believe that Shao Jing had remembered an unimportant woman for so many years.

Her long eyelashes fluttered, and then she suddenly remembered one thing. She once saw Shao Jing in front of the gate of Butterfly Clothing Shop. Could it be that Shao Jing had targeted Butterfly Clothing Shop at that time? It could explain why he knew Madame Dong was the shopkeeper of Butterfly Clothing Shop as soon as he saw her!

“Did you look unnatural when you met him at that time?” Shao Wanru asked.

“Yes, when I saw Second Young Master Shao, I froze there. If it weren’t for that I was urged to leave, I wouldn’t have been able to move at all at that time!” Madame Dong lowered her head and said.

She was so shocked that she even refused to believe that she could see Second Young Master Shao again. At that time, she wanted to leave as soon as possible so that he wouldn’t notice her. However, she was too stunned to move her feet. Then she saw him turn around and look at her with observing eyes.

Shao Wanru considered Madame Dong’s words and asked, “So, he saw you and recognized you after a careful observation?”

“I think so!” Madame Dong nodded and felt that Shao Wanru’s analysis was reasonable.

Shao Wanru kept silent for a moment and tried to organize it in her mind. “At first, Shao Jing noticed Butterfly Clothing Shop and he even saw Madame Dong there. Then he met Madame Dong in his mansion, and the latter’s stunned face helped him recognize her and realized that she knew him too!”

Later, he remembered or found out something, after which Wei Dahai came to find Madame Dong.

“If that is the case, then why does Shao Jing keep an eye on Butterfly Clothing Shop?” Shao Wanru didn’t think that there was anything special about Butterfly Clothing Shop!

“I met a middle-aged man on my way here just now. Is he…” Shao Wanru asked softly, “Wei Dahai?”

“Yes, that’s him. I think I met his wife at the shop that day. She specially came and confirmed who I was. I have checked and found that she had once ordered a dress with our latest toggle-and-loop buttons from our shop.” Madame Dong also came to her senses at this time and analyzed orderly.

“Has Shao Jing suspected that you are the owner of this shop, Your Highness?” Madame Dong added.

Shao Wanru shook her head and said, “No, it is impossible!”

There were so many shops in the capital city. It was impossible for Shao Jing to pay attention to an inconspicuous shop, not to mention one with a female keeper.

“If it weren’t for the reason, why would he keep his eyes on it?” Madame Dong frowned and asked. She was clear-headed when she was not occupied with Wei Dahai.

“My shop always caters for women customers, and it has nothing special. Even though it once caught much attention because I showed up in front of others with clothes from here before, it was just the matter that interested women. Therefore, my Second Uncle can’t notice this place. Besides, even if it is my shop, so what? Among my mother’s dowries, there were lots of shops, which now all belong to me!” Shao Wanru said.

“Her Highness, could it be caused by that matter happening in that embroidery shop?” Qu Le suddenly asked.

“Fanglan Embroidery Shop?” Madame Dong asked with her eyes lighting up.

Shao Wanru’s eyes became deep as well. Fanglan Embroidery Shop definitely no longer merely belongs to Duke Yong’s Mansion. After investigating it, Shao Wanru was sure that it had something to do with Prince Yue’s Mansion!

“So who is behind Shao Jing? Has he targeted me after he inquired about Fanglan Embroidery Shop?” Shao Wanru thought.

She might not be afraid of being targeted before. Anyway, she was just a woman who really ran a business. She might never care even if she was really targeted by Chu Liuyue! But now she could not think like that. Now that she married Chu Liuchen, no matter what happened to her, her husband would be the first person that came into people’s minds.

With fluttering her eyelashes that were as long as butterfly wings, she pursed her red lips slightly and said with deep eyes, “Did anything new happen in Fanglan Embroidery Shop?”

Madame Dong thought for a second and answered, “Nothing. I have followed your order to lend money to them, but they haven’t repaid it yet!”

The two shops were in a financial relationship, but they didn’t usually have much contact with each other.

Shao Wanru had made up her mind and said lightly, “Ask Fanglan Embroidery Shop for payment. Tell them that the owner has great use for the money and hope Fanglan Embroidery Shop can return the money as soon as possible.”

She had intended to control Fanglan Embroidery Shop. However, Shao Jing had targeted it, so it was better to cut the tie with it. Moreover, it was time to sprout the other seeds that she planted before… Actually, it was the trap set by her!

“Yes, I have your order! Please rest assured, Your Highness.” Madame Dong nodded at once. She had long known Shao Wanru’s plan. Princess Chen had made a trap for the matter of Fanglan Embroidery Shop since three years ago. Although it was a little hasty to uncover it, it didn’t destroy her plan.

Madame Dong admired the princess in front of her more and more. “Anyway, she was only eleven years old when she came out the secret plan that had been lasting for three years…”
