Chapter 584 Using the Minor Force To Win Energetically and Deal with It!

Yujie moved quickly and warded Shuqi’s hands off quickly, and also pushed her so hard. This made Shuqi almost lose her balance and take a few steps back to stand still.

After she stood still, she was so angry that her face turned blue. When she was about to step forward and argue with Yujie, Shao Yanru waved her hand to stop her, so she stood behind Shao Yanru angrily, glaring at Yujie!

“Fifth Sister, you have to teach your servant girl well. Since we are a family, there are some things that can be said and some things that cannot. If she loses her life because of saying something that cannot be said, it is not a big deal. But if she gets her master into trouble, it will be a big deal!” Shao Yanru’s face was slightly tensed, and her eyes became cold.

Shao Wanru bowed sideways to her and said with little sincerity, “Big Sister, you are right. I will discipline her when I go back, so that she won’t speak bluntly again and offend someone next time!”

Her words sounded soft, but there was a ruthless character hidden in them. Shao Yanru really wanted to give Shao Wanru a dirty look, but it was inappropriate for her to do so in front of Chu Qing and Qiu Yu. She had always liked to show a dignified and gentle look in front of people.

“Fifth Miss, obviously she is talking nonsense and gossiping about the master. If she is in the mansion, she will be killed directly!” Shuqi was unwilling to let Yujie leave easily, so she reached out her hand to point at Yujie and said loudly.

“You are just a servant girl. How dare you scold my servant girl like this!” Shao Wanru looked up at Shao Yanru in a panic. Although she still wore a smile on her face, it was a little cold, “So this is Big Sister’s rule and the one in our mansion?”

Yujie’s words were indeed a little too much, almost exposing Shao Yanru’s true features. So, as a servant girl, Yujie naturally needed to be punished. Shao Wanru also said that she would discipline Yujie well, which, to a certain extent, saved Shao Yanru some face. But now Shao Yanru’s servant girl was also presumptuous, and she dared to threaten Shao Wanru directly with her words.

Shao Wanru hinted that Shao Yanru seemingly said something about rules on the surface, but in fact, these rules were set for others. Actually, the people around her were those who were extremely unruly.

If these words were said in private by the two of them, Shao Yanru didn’t care about them. However, there were another two outsiders here at the moment. She was so angry that her face and neck bulged, but she had always been able to control it. She clenched her fists and then slowly relaxed.

“Shuqi, apologize to Fifth Miss now!”

“First Miss, I...” Shuqi was not convinced. It was obviously Yujie who was trying to stir up trouble.

“Hurry up!” Shao Yanru’s face turned cold.

Shuqi didn’t dare to disobey her and knelt down to Shao Wanru. She gritted her teeth and said, “Fifth Miss, sorry I crossed the line just now. Please forgive me, Fifth Miss!”

“Get up!” Shao Wanru said lightly.

Shuqi got up angrily and stood behind Shao Yanru, waiting for Yujie’s apology. After she apologized, Yujie would apologize to her master!

“Big Sister, what happened just now was that my servant girl spoke too bluntly. Although she said it in a wrong way, the meaning is right. Big Sister refused to listen to my words, but you heard clearly that Lord Qiu asked you to take off my shoes. As a scholar says, a senior official can’t be tortured. Although I’m not a senior official in the past, I’m the daughter of a noble aristocratic family. Big Sister asked me to take off my shoes for a tiny thing. I don’t know what your intention is.”

Shao Wanru looked at Shao Yanru with a smile on her face, but the glimmer of a smile could not be seen in her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were like water, slowly sweeping over the people present.

Even though Qiu Yu fell in love with Shao Yanru, his heart couldn’t help but miss a beat when Shao Wanru glanced at him with her beautiful watery eyes. Then when he heard Shao Wanru’s words clearly, he also felt guilty.

Just now, it was because he wanted to help Shao Yanru that he suggested taking off Shao Wanru’s shoes to check.

After hearing Shao Wanru’s words, Shao Yanru knew that she was indeed too anxious just now, so Shao Wanru took the initiative. This matter was originally not a big deal, just related to two rough old maids from the countryside. It was wrong to doubt Shao Wanru’s words for the sake of the two rough old maids, not to mention to ask Shao Wanru to take off her shoes to prove her innocence.

Shao Yanru took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Shao Wanru. Shao Wanru turned aside to avoid with polite. In other people’s eyes, Shao Yanru was, after all, an elder sister with an excellent reputation.

Shao Yanru apologized to Shao Wanru very sincerely, “Fifth Sister, I thought it in a wrong way. Just now, I was in a mess because of my anxious concern. I thought that I couldn’t let Lord Qiu wrong you, but I didn’t take other things into consideration. Please forgive me, Fifth Sister!”

Chu Qing looked at Shao Wanru calmly and then looked at Shao Yanru. Shao Yanru looked really graceful. Compared with her fifth sister, she was very considerate when dealing with things, which was what a legal wife should be. If he could marry her, it would be a good thing.

As for Fifth Miss Shao, she was somewhat sharp and merciless, and it was not easy to get along with her. If he married her, he might not be able to have any other concubines in the future. However, he was not powerful enough now. It was not good for him to only have one wife, and he needed to choose more to contact the officials in the court.

Compared with Shao Wanru, Shao Yanru was obviously better!

Moreover, Shao Yanru was the most beautiful woman in the capital city. For this title, it was the most beneficial choice to marry her. Although her eyes were not as beautiful as that of the Fifth Miss Shao, her whole appearance should be better than that of the Fifth Miss. Otherwise, how could he not have heard of the Fifth Miss? People all said that this First Miss Shao was both talented and beautiful.

Thinking of this, he immediately made up his mind and changed the topic with a smile, “Since it’s a misunderstanding, just speak out to clear it. Both First Miss and Fifth Miss are not narrow-minded people, so let it go. Mr. Qiu, in your opinion, how should we deal with this matter?”

Chu Qing tried to break the awkward situation with a smile and shifted the topic back to Qiu Yu.

Shao Yanru gave Chu Qing a gentle smile as if she was very grateful. Chu Qing gave her a gentle and elegant smile back.

The secret interaction between these two made Qiu Yu’s face darken. Shao Yanru’s servant girl and Shao Wanru’s servant girl almost quarreled with each other because of his words. He felt very guilty about this at first, but now his guilt turned into anger. He also knew that he couldn’t force Shao Wanru at this time, because he originally had no right to ask her to take off her shoes to check.

“Since Fifth Miss is unwilling to do so, then forget about it. If this case is really small, it may be sent to the lord mayor,” Qiu Yu said in a low mood.

He felt that he had been humiliated by Shao Wanru and lost face in front of the beauty he liked, but Chu Qing won the favor in front of Shao Yanru.

After saying that, he saluted Shao Yanru and said, “First Miss Shao, I’ll go to deal with this matter first.”

“Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Qiu. If there is something else, please tell me!” Shao Yanru said softly.

“Okay, I will tell First Miss Shao if anything happens!” Seeing that Shao Yanru’s attention was paid to him again, Qiu Yu’s face looked better. He thought that maybe he could take advantage of this matter to meet First Miss Shao a few more times. Immediately, he felt that it was better to keep this matter in his hands.

“Thank you, Mr. Qiu!” Shao Wanru also bowed sideways and narrowed her watery eyes slightly. Her eyes fell on Qiu Yu’s face, and she saw all the changes on Qiu Yu’s face. Then she looked at Shao Yanru who was not in a hurry, her eyes became darker and deeper. It seemed that Shao Yanru had made up her mind.

Qiu Yu turned around and strode away after saying goodbye to Chu Qing.

“First Miss Shao, Fifth Miss Shao, shall we go back together or enjoy more scenery?” Chu Qing asked. Although he said this to the two sisters, his gentle eyes fell on Shao Yanru. Obviously, what he really wanted to ask was Shao Yanru’s idea.

“How about you, Fifth Sister?” Shao Yanru thought for a moment and looked as if she was halt between two opinions.

“Big Sister and Commandery Prince Qing, you can walk around to enjoy more. I want to stay here and pick some beautiful maple leaves!” Shao Wanru shook her head and refused.

“How can I rest assured to leave Fifth Sister here alone!” Shao Yanru said softly. She frowned and looked at Shao Wanru with concern.

“Big Sister, I’m okay. You left me just now, but I was fine. How can I get worse now? My leg is much better now!” Shao Wanru gently lifted her leg and said with a smile, “If you don’t believe me, why don’t I really take off my shoes to show you?”

When Shao Wanru had been seriously injured just now, Shao Yanru had left with others, so it was a little unreasonable for her to use this as an excuse at this time.

Shao Wanru sneered in her heart and she knew Shao Yanru’s thoughts very well. On the one hand, Shao Yanru had a dubious relationship with Chu Qing. On the other hand, she was unwilling to be too close to Chu Qing. After all, Chu Qing had few possibilities to get that position. In this case, it was impossible for Shao Yanru to waste more energy on Chu Qing.

Moreover, Qiu Yu had been with them before. If someone asked about it in the future, this matter could be explained clearly. But now, there were only the two of them.

Since she had not used this excuse before, Shao Wanru would not allow her to use it now. Shao Wanru glanced at Chu Qing who was standing aside and said with a smile, “Commandery Prince Qing, please take Big Sister to walk around. I will be around here and not walk far away.”

“First Miss, the scenery here is really good. Let’s take a walk. First Miss, if you feel tired, we can come back later!” This was just what Chu Qing wanted, so he smiled and said.

Hearing their words, Shao Yanru was full of unwillingness, but she couldn’t really refuse them. She could only show some concern on her face and said, “Fifth Sister, you can’t go far away. I’ll come back after walking for a while. Just wait for me!”

“Okay!” Shao Wanru smiled and then looked at Chu Qing leading Shao Yanru to a deep path. This was a small sideway, and it seemed to be much narrower than the previous broad road.

Just now, since Qiu Yu had been around, they had walked on main roads. Now, was she going to make the atmosphere between the two of them better? The corners of her lips lifted slightly. If Shao Yanru was so easy to coax, she would not have had the reputation of having both beauty and talent.

As expected, after taking a few steps, the two of them turned back with their servants and servant girls, and then walked back on the main road. They returned to walk on the road they had taken before. Obviously, Shao Yanru did not want to be too close to Chu Qing, so as not to provoke Chu Liuyue’s jealousy!

When their figures disappeared from her sight, Shao Wanru continued what she had done before. She really wanted to pick some beautiful and complete maple leaves. If she remembered correctly, there would be a big matter that needed these maple leaves...
