Chapter 185
“Second Lady Qin, the Old Madam feels really sorry when she knew Master Hao hit the First Lady Qin. She wants to invite First Lady Qin to her court to see if she got hurt badly in person!”
“It wasn’t just Master Hao himself who caused this accident and moreover, my elder sister now is fine!” said Qin Wanru calmly.
“According to Old Madam, she still worries about your elder sister and it would be better for her to see in person whether First Lady Qin got hurt badly!” answered the old maid with a smile.
Qin Wanru frowned inconspicuously. Was this matter the same as the one happened in her previous life? The Old Madam of Duke Xing just met Qin Yuru and then favored her very much at the end. She even let Qin Yuru stay in Duke Xing’s Mansion for a long time. Did Qin Yuru even postpone her wedding because of the Old Madam’s favor towards her?
She felt that this event was more and more doubtful but she couldn’t tell why!
It was quite incredible for this Old Madam in the Duke Xing’s Mansion to be so kind to an outsider!
“Nobody wants my elder sister and Master Hao hit together. What’s more, Master Hao didn’t mean to do this and he also got hurt as well as my sister in the end. Although Old Madam invites my sister to her court to see if she got hurt since she cared about this accident out of courtesy, others would feel that it is Master Hao who hit sister deliberately!”
Qin Wanru said euphemistically. She would meet the Old Madam, but not now.
Hearing what she said, the old maid didn’t know what should answer even if she had many other words wanted to say out. If she insisted on inviting First Lady Qin, it seemed that Duke Xing’s Mansion was in the wrong since it looked like that Master Hao did cause this accident deliberately. However, nobody would like to let others know their children were naughty and bad. Even though he was a kid, he also needed to be respected.
Moreover, Rui’an Great Elder Princess would stand by Master Hao. She didn’t like Duke Xing’s Mansion at all. If she had anything on Duke Xing’s Mansion, the thing would get complicated!
“Then I would go back to turn down Old Madam!”
“Thank you!” answered Qin Wanru lightly and then the old maid turned around and left reluctantly.
When opening up the door, she saw Qin Yuru wear gorgeously in front of everyone. That dress she wore was quite suitable for her, almost seeming that the dress was made for her.
A hint of envy showed up on Qi Rongzhi’s face. Qin Yuru now was more outstanding and eye-catching than her since she changed her clothes.
Since Qin Yuru had changed her dress, then she needed to leave. When Qin Wanru walked a few steps, it seemed that something occurred to her. She stopped and asked the servant girl who was leading the way, “Where are those clothes my elder sister just took off?”
“Second Lady Qin, those clothes are quite dirty and I am not sure whether they are fit to wear. Do you still want them, Second Lady Qin?” The servant girl asked surprisingly.
“Second Sister, those clothes are too dirty to get clean again. Please throw them away! We don’t want them!” Qin Yuru glared at Qin Wanru and cursed her as a mean girl in her mind. How she dared to ask for those dirty clothes to take back!
“They are just sprinkled with ink and you could still wear them!” Qin Wanru smiled slightly, seeming that she didn’t know how embarrassing the words she said were.
Luckily, she seemed to be the youngest one here and therefore her words sounded a little bit childish. The servant girl of Duke Xing’s Mansion only thought that this lady was from a small town and she was reluctant to throw those clothes away. This servant girl then raised her head to see Qin Yuru and waited for her decision.
“Throw them away!” said Qin Yuru, waving her hand.
“Is elder sister not going to give the dress you wear back to Duke Xing’s Mansion?” Qin Wanru seemed to hesitate and then continued to say. Hearing her words, Qin Yuru flushed. She paused and said, “Well, well, I would return it, of course!”
In fact, she immediately thought that she didn’t want to give it back in her mind but she couldn’t say it out in public.
“Now you are going to return it and why don’t you just ask Duke Xing’s Mansion to wash your dress clean and then change them back? Moreover, is that really appropriate for us to leave your dirty clothes in Duke Xing’s Mansion?” asked Qin Wanru confusedly.
Qin Yuru was so angry that she almost fainted. A hint of malice flashed upon her eyes while she pretended to smile and said to the servant girl, “Then I have to bother you to wash those clothes clean for me. It would be better for you to get them clean but if you fail, it doesn’t matter! When my servant washes your lady’s dress clean and gives it to you, I would ask her to bring my clothes back!”
“Yes, my lady!” answered the servant girl of Duke Xing’s Mansion.
Then they started to walk forward again but they didn’t expect that they would encounter Shao Yuanhao at the corner of the passage. Once seeing Qin Yuru, Shao Yuanhao burst out angrily and rushed over Qin Yuru. “Bad woman! You are a bad woman! You knocked over my ink bottle deliberately!”
“Master Hao! Calm down! Master Hao! Please calm down! If you keep leading troubles, we would be killed!” Two servants who followed Shao Yuanhao looked at each other and quickly tried to drag him when finding out it was not right.
Qin Yuru stepped backwards and looked at him alertly. Mei Xue and the servant girl of Duke Xing’s Mansion stood out and protected her. It seemed that they encountered a horrible enemy. Only Qi Rongzhi curled her lip and stood aside, waiting for a good show!
“Hao’er!” Qin Wanru called him softly.
Shao Yuanhao suddenly stopped while he was struggling. He looked into the direction the voice came from with his big eyes, finding out that Qin Wanru was standing aside. He first paused and then became delightful. “Sister! Sister!”
If the servant had not caught him, he would have had run to her!
Qin Wanru walked to him slowly and stared at the two servants coldly. Then they quickly let him go. Shao Yuanhao hurriedly ran to her. Because he just moved drastically, he now sweated a lot.
“Why are you here, Hao’er?” asked Qin Wanru, smiling. Her eyes looked deep and dark, in which a hint of doubt emerged. According to Rui’an Great Elder Princess’ words that day, Shao Yuanhao should have been in Rui’an Great Elder Princess’ Mansion but why she always saw Shao Yuanhao again and again today and why he always caused troubles.
“My grandma let me come here! She said that there would be many people at this banquet in the mansion and she even said that you would come too! I miss you so much!” Shao Yuanhao who stood in front of Qin Wanru looked like a cute rabbit and he didn’t seem to be the little angry devil anymore. He curled his lips and seemed that he felt wronged. He grabbed Qin Wanru’s sleeve and shook. He said, “You are a liar. You said you would come for me but you don’t!”
Looking at his grievance, Qin Wanru couldn’t bear chuckling. She reached out and petted his head. “So are you coming back to Duke Xing’s Mansion for me?”
“Of course! Otherwise, I would have been with my grandma! However, I just couldn’t find you!” Shao Yuanhao felt more wronged.
“Does Rui’an Great Elder Princess let you come back alone?” Qin Wanru blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.
Qin Yuru was stunned and then her face got pale.
“Nanny Qu comes with me!” answered Shao Yuanhao. He held Qin Wanru and said to her ear, “Sister, we could write a very big Chinese character there! Very big! Come with me, sister! Let’s play together. It is very funny! We could not only write but paint!”
“Then where is Nanny Qu?” Qin Wanru moved a little bit following him and asked lightly.
“I have no idea but it seems that granny has something to talk to grandma so she let Nanny Qu go there. However, she doesn’t come back now. It seems that what they are talking about is really important. They might fear that Nanny Qu could not remember them all so they had a very long talk! There are two servants following me and they have been my servants before!”
Shao Yuanhao said as he smiled and held Qin Wanru, seeming that he was not a child.
Qin Wanru bit her lips slightly. Her long eyelashes fluttered, which seemed that they hid all doubts. Duke Xing’s Mansion was so doubtful and Shao Yuanhao was so naughty! Since he rushed over Qin Yuru and behaved like that in front of others and didn’t tell the truth clearly, everyone would definitely think it was Shao Yuanhao’s fault.
“Then why would you hit this sister?” An idea occurred to her and then Qin Wanru said as she pointed at Qin Yuru who looked a little bit pale.
“She is bad! She knocked me over deliberately! I was going to write something with the ink bottle in my hand! She saw me and hit me deliberately!” Finding out that Qin Wanru pointed at Qin Yuru, he suddenly became angry again and told her the truth, glaring at Qin Yuru.
“Why would she hit you deliberately? Didn’t you hit together because you didn’t see each other?” asked Qin Wanru, smiling like an angel.
“She did it deliberately! The passage is wide enough but why she would hit me! She is bad! I hate these guys most!” It seemed that Shao Yuanhao really hated Qin Yuru. Once someone mentioned Qin Yuru, he would get mad. He looked really cute and funny as his little face was puffed up.
“Sister, let’s go! It is difficult to talk to this child. Here is Duke Xing’s Mansion and it is none of your business!” Qin Yuru coughed slightly and warned her.
“You bad guy! Get out! Get out of my house!” Hearing Qin Yuru asked Qin Wanru to leave, he held Qin Wanru quickly, glared at Qin Yuru and tried to let her leave.
“Sister, you’d better walk with Lady Qi. I would play with him for a while!” Qin Wanru said as her eyes blinked.
“Second Lady Qin, let me do this. You are the guest and how could I let you play with my Master Hao? You could go with two ladies and I would play with Master Hao!”
The servant girl of Duke Xing’s Mansion answered with a smile.
“I don’t want you but my sister!” Shao Yuanhao shook his body and was reluctant to let go of Qin Wanru.
“Master Hao, please let go of this lady. She is our guest today. Let’s see the cricket you like, shall we?” A servant hurriedly came here and tried to take Shao Yuanhao’s hand but he didn’t do it and didn’t even touch him finally because of Qin Wanru’s cold eyes.
“Yeah, Master Hao, don’t you remember you once say in the mansion that you want to have a look at the place where people sell crickets? Let’s have a look at them, shall we?”
Another servant came quickly and tried to persuade him, crouching beside him.
Shao Yuanhao hesitated. He looked at Qin Wanru with his big eyes and then turned to look at his two servants. He could not give up anyone. How could he decide in that he wanted them all!
“Sister, would you take me to see the cricket?” For a moment, Shao Yuanhao hesitantly asked. It could tell that he really hoped she could go with him from his face.
Qin Wanru looked at those servants of Duke Xing’s Mansion and felt more and more doubtful. These people obviously didn’t want her to be with Shao Yuanhao!
They didn’t want her to play with Shao Yuanhao but let Shao Yuanhao come here from Rui’an Great Elder Princess’ Mansion with that excuse while the one who was sent by Rui’an Great Elder Princess to protect Shao Yuanhao was not here…
