Chapter 1212 It’s Up to You!
“A letter from Shao Jie’er?” Shao Wanru said with a frown and her long eyelashes fluttering twice, looking a little confused. Seeing that, Chu Liuchen couldn’t help smiling. He reached out to hold her hand and continued walking forward. They had just finished lunch, and they only took Yujie and Xiao Xuanzi with them. Qing’er came to report at this time.
“My Lady, it’s a letter from Miss Jie’er. Lord Wen sent it over on her behalf, saying that it’s best if you can help her. Shao Jie’er knows something about what happened yesterday,” Qing’er said.
“Shao Jie’er knows something about what happened yesterday?” Shao Wanru raised her eyebrows slightly. She was a little surprised, but she thought it was expected.
After thinking about it, she didn’t know what to say. She thought that Shao Jie’er deserved what she was suffering and didn’t sympathize with her.
Chu Liuchen gently pulled her fingers and said softly, “If you don’t want to help, then don’t.”
“The case of the official of the Ministry of Justice… should be revealed!” Shao Wanru said with her long eyelashes fluttering a few times. At present, it was a good opportunity. She had to take Shao Jing down. She had informed the Third Madam before that the Marquis Xing’s Mansion was bound to split in two days. It would be very beneficial for her if Shao Jie’er got involved at this time.
“You don’t need to worry about it. I’ll reveal the case!” Chu Liuchen said indifferently. His long and narrow eyes blinked twice with an evil aura, and he slightly smiled. “The Marquis Xing’s Mansion had gotten their hands dirty, and many people have been involved in its matter.”
Shao Wanru bit her lip and said, “Let’s… see what she said first!”
She had set up some tactics with the inner court. If Chu Liuchen intervened, it would be discovered. It was better for her to do it. Moreover, she was more willing to avenge the grudges in her two lives by herself.
Hearing her determined words, Chu Liuchen didn’t stop her. In his opinion, as long as Shao Wanru was happy, she could do whatever she wanted. In fact, if there was no hurry, he could solve the matters for Shao Wanru one by one afterward. Now that Shao Wanru couldn’t keep her cool anymore, it didn’t matter. Since she had him around, he couldn’t let anyone hurt his woman.
However, Wen Xichi displeased him a bit. For some reason, he felt that there was some tacit understanding between Wen Xichi and Shao Wanru that he couldn’t see through. He felt very upset as if he had a rare treasure that others would keep thinking about. He was full of displeasure.
Qing’er presented the letter. Shao Wanru took it, opened the envelope, and read the letter. After reading it, she took a deep breath and handed it to Chu Liuchen. He took it and read it casually. After reading it, he asked indifferently, “What do you think?”
Shao Wanru hesitated and said, “If… if I support Shao Jie’er, will it affect you?”
“No. Don’t worry. No matter what you do, I won’t be affected. Since I’ve appeared in public and I’ve recovered from my illness, of course, I won’t let anyone bully you again. If you want to do something, just do it,” Chu Liuchen said gently, reached out to put his hand on Shao Wanru’s shoulder, and held her in his arms.
Her petite body was almost glued to his broad arms as if she had been born for him. His gentle care made Shao Wanru almost cry.
Shao Wanru found that as long as she was with Chu Liuchen, she would easily feel that she was just a fragile woman and no longer a vicious avenger. He made her feel warm.
Biting her lip, she looked at Chu Liuchen without avoiding his eyes. Seeing his deep eyes below his long eyelashes, she could see a trace of tenderness. “Your Highness…”
She kept blinking and got rid of the tears in her eyes. In this life, with him, she would no longer be immersed in hatred.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Liuchen asked softly.
Shao Wanru stopped talking and just leaned over. This time, she got close to him. After a pause, his hand on her shoulder slipped down and held her slender waist tightly. “Zhuozhuo, don’t worry. Everything will be fine whenever it is!” Chu Liuchen said in a gentle voice with irresistible power.
It could be heard that he was decisive and calm. He was not just saying it. He meant it and would make it happen.
She closed her eyes as she grew calm without any hesitation. Although her eyes were slightly red, she smiled. She nodded hard and said, “I… I know.”
How could she not know that this man had feelings for her for a long time? She was very touched.
“Zhuozhuo, how long will it be before your birthday? It’s not good to keep me waiting like this!” When Chu Liuchen said this, Shao Wanru suddenly pushed him away and gave him a coquettish look. How could he say something like that at this time?
Her face turned red.
“Zhuozhuo, I mean what I said!” Chu Liuchen sighed and said that, looking a little pitiful with his handsome eyes and brows.
Shao Wanru felt that she must be crazy to think that Chu Liuchen was pitiful. “He’s certainly not pitiful to say something like that at this time!”
“I’m going to talk about this letter!” Shao Wanru said with anger. She pulled the letter from Chu Liuchen and walked to the pavilion on the side.
“Okay, okay. Let’s talk about it.” Chu Liuchen said dotingly from behind, which made Shao Wanru blush again.
Subconsciously, she stopped. When Chu Liuchen stepped forward to hold her hand, she pinched him hard.
Chu Liuchen looked at Shao Wanru with a sad face and said with some grievance, “Zhuozhuo, how could you hurt me?”
“Is he really Prince Chen, who plans everything meticulously?” Shao Wanru bit her lip and glared at him with hatred, but she didn’t know that she didn’t look fierce at all at the moment. Her watery eyes were full of shyness and anger, which made Chu Liuchen gentler.
They sat down in the pavilion. Shao Wanru squinted at Chu Liuchen and saw that he was still looking at her with a chuckle, which made her heart beat wildly. So she simply turned around and didn’t look at him.
After she got teased by him, the depression caused by Shao Jie’er just now dissipated a lot.
When she read the letter again, she was no longer as depressed and annoyed as before.
Shao Jie’er didn’t hide anything. She started with what had happened last night. She said that she saw a man being thrown into an empty yard in the mansion before he disappeared. She happened to see this scene, and then she saw the fire and some men in black sneaking in. She didn’t dare to look anymore and immediately hid.
After that, Consort Dowager Qing ordered servants to check the entire Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion. Her place has also been checked several times and finally stopped. The man should have been found, but Shao Jie’er said that she didn’t know where he was now.
She asked Shao Wanru for help with this news. She didn’t ask for much but merely wanted to stay in Marquis Xing’s Mansion for a few days. She would find a way to deal with the rest by herself.
First, she told Shao Wanru what she knew, and then she asked Shao Wanru for help, which showed that she sincerely wanted to ask Shao Wanru for help.
In the past, Shao Jie’er didn’t act this way. Holding this letter, Shao Wanru slightly raised her eyebrows. When had Shao Jie’er been so smart? She knew that if she didn’t write these things in the first part of the letter, Shao Wanru would never help her.
The two of them had been at daggers drawn, so how could Shao Wanru reach out to her?
At present, she didn’t think it was a big deal to give Shao Jie’er a hand. But she also found Wen Xichi very strange. How could he know so much about her character? Did he know that she would help Shao Jie’er because the latter wrote in that way?
Of course, Shao Wanru would help Shao Jie’er not only because Shao what Jie’er had written in the letter, but also because helping Shao Jie’er would do her good. She silently smiled. She couldn’t figure out why Wen Xichi did what he did since he also wanted to know the truth. But it was not difficult for him to get the news from Shao Jie’er, so why did he get Shao Wanru involved?
Chu Liuchen snorted, took the letter from her hand unhappily, threw it on the stone table, and said lazily, “Is Wen Xichi too idle in the Ministry of Justice? He even meddles in this kind of business!”
“Maybe he’s doing it because of Shao Jie’er?” Shao Wanru said, “The younger generation of the two families have known each other since they were young. Shao Jie’er and Wen Xichi are childhood friends!”
“When did Wen Xichi have such a good relationship with his childhood sweetheart?” Chu Liuchen said disapprovingly with his long eyelashes fluttering twice unhappily.
He sounded jealous. Shao Wanru burst into laughter and reached out to pull his sleeve. “Well, it has nothing to do with me. No matter whether Third Young Master Wen is trying to help Shao Jie’er or has other intentions, he can’t be doing it because of me. I have no childhood sweetheart relationship with him!”
Her words made Chu Liuchen feel relieved and very happy, but he still showed a reluctant expression on his face. “It’s best if you think so. It’s hard to guess what Wen Xichi is thinking. You should stay away from him.”
Shao Wanru pointed to the letter on the table and asked with a smile, “Okay, I will stay away from him. What about this letter?”
Her gentle and delicate eyes made Chu Liuchen adore her more. He had never been a well-behaved person. Thinking of this, he reached out to pull Shao Wanru into his arms, lowered his head, kissed her delicate cherry lips gently, and then whispered in her ear, “It’s up to you!”
Yujie and Xiao Xuanzi looked straight at a corner of the ground in front of them, pretending that they weren’t there. The two of them had a smile in their eyes, which showed that they had seen this scene clearly. They found it nice that Prince Chen and Princess Chen were intimate. At least it was lively in this mansion.
Shao Wanru blushed and hurriedly pushed Chu Liuchen away. Her waist was no longer held and she almost fell out. She was startled and exclaimed in a low voice. When she was about to fall to the ground, her waist was pulled heavily by Chu Liuchen and she fell back into his arms again. With Chu Liuchen’s joyful laughter, his chest, which was against hers, vibrated slightly, which made Shao Wanru realize that she had been teased more clearly.
“Isn’t the crown prince of Southern Palace supposed to be cruel? Why is he acting this way?” Chu Liuchen was completely different from the impression she had in her last life. Her pink and tender cheeks seemed to have been smeared with the best rouge, and her eyes were shining with shyness and annoyance. She stared at the handsome face that appeared in front of her again in a charming manner.
“He’s just so naughty! Can’t he just be quiet?”
