When they got on the carriage and left, the people nearby began to discuss.

It was mainly the boy who spread those words in the clinic. In addition to what Yujie said, he also eavesdropped on what his master and the injured Miss said. He thought this Miss was really pitiful. Not only did her forehead get injured, but it seemed that her brain also got injured

It was said that she was the Second Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion. Today she went to the Yuhui Nunnery to visit Madam of Duke Xing, who had been cultivating herself there. As for why she smashed a teacup on the Miss, it was said that it was because Old Madam’s words made Madam of Duke Xing unhappy, so she picked up the teacup and smashed it at the Second Miss.

A daughter of a concubine was so pitiful. He thought Madam of Duke Xing was really not a good person since she abused the girl like this. In the past, it was said that she was kind to others, but now it seemed that she was not really kind. There was always a knife under her smile, just like her daughter.

However, they were biological mother and daughter, so of course, they were the same…

The rumors became increasingly harsh and exaggerated. When Shao Wanru and Shao Jie’er arrived at Duke Xing’s Mansion, it was said that Madam of Duke Xing had always been dissatisfied with Old Madam, so she deliberately smashed the daughter of a concubine to teach Old Madam a lesson to force Old Madam to agree to take her back to the mansion.

As for the well-being of a concubine’s daughter, who would care?

Shao Wanru stopped on the way and asked Yujie to buy some medicinal materials for Shao Jie’er. At this time, Shao Jie’er pretended to be sick, so she didn’t pay much attention to it. She nodded and leaned against the wall of the carriage “weakly”. In order to take care of her, her servant girl also stayed in the carriage.

Yujie got out of the carriage and went to the pharmacy to buy some medicinal materials. Then she asked a boy working in the pharmacy to invite Madame Dong, Butterfly Clothing Shop’s shopkeeper, who was not far away. After Yujie whispered Shao Wanru’s message to this woman’s ears, she returned to the small carriage behind.

Without Shao Jie’er’s maid, it was much more convenient for Yujie.

When the carriage arrived at Duke Xing’s Mansion, the servants of the mansion already heard that the Second Miss had been hurt and bled and she was so dizzy that she couldn’t even walk steadily. Two old maids immediately came out and carefully helped Shao Jie’er into the mansion. Then they went all the way to Old Madam’s Chuntang Courtyard.

In the Chuntang Courtyard, Old Madam’s face was so full of anger that her face was livid. Shao Wanru seemed fine and so did Madam Jiang. However, it was Shao Jie’er, who was the least likely to have an accident, that got injured. How could Old Madam not be angry?

The servants at the door said that Shao Jie’er almost fainted, and Old Madam knew that something had happened.

At this time, seeing Shao Jie’er being escorted in like this, Old Madam only felt a slight faint pain. It was originally a good plan, but it suddenly became like this. How could Old Madam not be angry?

“What happened?” Old Madam asked Shao Wanru and Shao Jie’er, who had just come in, in a sharp voice.

“Grandma!” Shao Jie’er cried and fell to the ground. “Madam Jiang tried to kill me. I…”

Speaking of this, she choked with tears, and twitched on the ground, and seemed to be about to faint. There was a white bandage that the doctor of the clinic specially wrapped around her head, which was particularly eye-catching for the moment

The doctor of the clinic was afraid that something would happen to Shao Jie’er, so he specially wrapped several more layers around her head, so she looked like she was dragging a white funeral cloth. At the sight of this, Old Madam was so angry that she felt her chest stuffy. She was not dead yet, but her granddaughter came out to cry as if the girl was attending her funeral. It was a really depressing scene.

“What happened? Tell me clearly!” Old Madam pounded the table heavily.

Shao Jie’er really wanted to faint at this time. Although she had made up her mind to make a big fuss about it, she, who mattered little to Old Madam, suddenly felt guilty at this time. She wanted to put all the blame on Shao Wanru, but she didn’t faint when she came in, so she didn’t dare to pretend to faint at this time.

She could only kneel on the ground and cry. She pretended that she didn’t hear Old Madam’s words and hoped that this old woman could be fooled.

She did not dare to answer Old Madam, for fear that Old Madam would find something wrong.

“Fifth Girl, tell me!” Seeing that Shao Jie’er didn’t speak and could only cry, Old Madam looked at Shao Wanru. Compared with Shao Jie’er, Shao Wanru looked almost as calm as water.

Seeing the difference, Old Madam felt that her heart twitching violently again. Shouldn’t Shao Wanru be the one who was crying? Shouldn’t Shao Wanru cry and complain to her about her innocence? Madam Jiang tried to hurt herself and was rescued. At that time, there was only Shao Wanru in the room and she made that order. If one connected these clues, he might think that Shao Wanru wanted to hurt her elders for her mother’s dowry!

The Miss of the Zhao’s Mansion stood outside the courtyard and heard everything clearly. Shao Wanru couldn’t defend herself no matter how hard she tried. At this time, Old Madam thought the girl should cry in front of her.

But the fact was completely different from what Old Madam had expected. How could this happen?

“Grandma, Second Sister and I didn’t talk much after we got there, and Madam Jiang suddenly got angry. At that time, she picked up the teacup and threw it at me and Second Sister. I dodged it a little faster than Second Sister. She was injured. After that, Second Sister cried and left. And after Miss Zhao and I conveyed your words to her, we left.”

Shao Wanru said simply.

“You went in with Miss Zhao?” Old Madam was keenly aware of the special meaning in her words.

Nanny Yu, who was standing behind Old Madam, looked up at Shao Wanru. The corners of her eyes twitched and she lowered her head. She looked at the corner of the ground in front of her and stood still.

“I went in with Miss Zhao. I was afraid that Second Madam would go crazy and hurt me again, so I went in with Miss Zhao to brace myself up!” Shao Wanru nodded and said.

“You are silly. This is a scandal of our Duke Xing’s Mansion. How can you let the Miss of other mansions join in the fun?” Old Madam slapped the corner of the table hard, glared at Shao Wanru, and scolded angrily.

“Grandma, do you mean that, compared with letting others know Madam Jiang’s current situation, you would rather let me be beaten by her and end up like Second Sister?” Shao Wanru analyzed coldly.

Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion was stunned by her words and couldn’t speak for a moment. Of course, she should not acknowledge it.

“I’ve heard that sis Zhao Zhu is big brother’s future daughter-in-law and our future sister-in-law. Moreover, grandmother has asked Miss Zhao to accompany us, which means that she has tacitly approved that Miss Zhao has become a member of this family. I believe that since she was acknowledged by my grandma, it would be okay if she went in with me.”

Shao Wanru said calmly, as if she really thought so.

Old Madam just felt her chest full of anger but she could not vent it out. She just glared at Shao Wanru with hatred.

Shao Wanru didn’t care about Old Madam’s hatred. After they looked at each other, Shao Wanru still looked a little confused, as if she still didn’t understand what she had done wrong.

Old Madam became more and more annoyed. “Did you say what I told you to her?”

“I said exactly as what you asked!” Shao Wanru nodded and said.

“What did she say? Where did those things go?” Old Madam said with a trace of gloom across her eyes. She slowly restrained her anger. As long as this matter could not be solved, Shao Wanru had to go to the Yuhui Nunnery. At that time, there would still be opportunities. Thinking of this, she calmed down.

“The Second Madam didn’t say anything but she looked a little angry. I was afraid that something would happen, so I asked Miss Zhao to go with me!” Shao Wanru said.

“Then you shall go there again next time. This matter has to be solved!” Old Madam ordered with a gloomy face. “Let it be tomorrow. I’ll ask someone to accompany you tomorrow. This time, you must get the correct answer from her. If she doesn’t say it, you can ask her again. We can’t solve the matter until we get the answer.”

She thought Old Madam was intending to send herself to be trapped by Madam Jiang again. Shao Wanru sneered in her heart, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, put up a faint smile, and said coldly, “Grandma, my words are useless. Second Madam won’t listen to me and will be angry with me!”

“If you don’t go, who can? No one in the mansion can deal with the affairs of the mansion, including the old, the sick, and the injured.”

Old Madam said angrily.

“Grandma, there are still some people in the mansion, and Second Sister’s aunt can also help. Since there are so many affairs in the mansion, it’s wrong to let Third Aunt deal with them alone!”

Shao Wanru suggested.

Shao Jie’er pricked her ears to listen to their conversation. Seeing that her aunt was mentioned, she immediately raised her voice and cried sadly. She sounded so sad that she could not even utter a single word.

Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion frowned and said to Shao Jie’er unhappily, “Second Miss, go to have a rest first. Use your father’s name to ask an imperial physician from the palace to take a look at your wound later!” She once thought Shao Jie’er could help, but now She only found this girl very annoying.

Since Old Madam had spoken, two old maids came over and helped Shao Jie’er go down carefully. Although Shao Jie’er wanted to stay and listen to Shao Wanru and Old Madam’s conversation, she had no reason at this time. She could only cry and follow the two old maids with the grievance, but she had made up her mind to seize such a good opportunity.

After Shao Jie’er left, Old Madam felt much quieter. She frowned and ignored Shao Wanru’s previous words and said, “If you can’t deal with your mother’s dowry, your grandma will make trouble again. In any case, you have to ask Madam Jiang to tell us the truth. You can go again tomorrow. If you dare not go alone, I will ask someone to accompany you!”

This was not a question, but a decision made for Shao Wanru. No matter whether Shao Wanru wanted to go or not, she had to force Shao Wanru to go there again. She was forcing Shao Wanru to do so as her elder.

Shao Wanru sneered in her heart and understood Old Madam’s intention. Old Madam forced her to go up the mountain to let Madam Jiang frame her up. Although Old Madam didn’t do it herself, her vicious purpose was obvious. But Shao Wanru would not let Old Madam succeed.

She coughed in a low voice and was about to speak when she suddenly saw an old maid running in hurriedly. “Old Madam, bad news. Great Elder Princess went to Duke Xing’s study with a group of people and said that she is going to tear down Duke Xing’s study. Let’s go and have a look!”

“What?” Old Madam stood up suddenly and asked in a hurry.

“Old Madam, go and have a look. Now Great Elder Princess is blocking Duke Xing in the study! Duke Xing asked me to report to you as soon as possible!”
