Medical Princess

Chapter 421 Another Sinister Plan

Qi Rongzhi left in a hurry, much more hurried than Qin Wanru!

Qin Wanru's mouth lifted at the corners. Standing, she watched Qi Rongzhi hurrying away in a fretful manner.

Even though she didn't know what kinds of evidences Qi Tianyu had, she was sure that he did have evidences. Moreover, Qi Baiyu had always failed to steal the letters from his brother, from which it could tell that Qi Tianyu was a very prudent person.

Although Qi Tianyu did not trust his little brother, he believed his biological sister. Among all people around Qi Tianyu, Qi Rongzhi was the only one who could succeed in obtaining the key evidence from Qi Tianyu.

It seemed that Qi Rongzhi was going straight to Qi Tianyu. Great! That would be great! But if she failed, Qin Wanru still had a plan B.

She turned around and started to head back in a gentle and slow manner. When she arrived in the courtyard, she found Qin Yuru had been there.

In the middle of the main room, an old maid was standing behind Qin Yuru and kneading her crooked stiff neck. Hearing someone coming, Qin Yuru opened her eyes and found it was Qin Wanru. Then she immediately closed her eyes without words, seeming as if she had not seen Qin Wanru.

Qin Wanru disapprovingly looked over the old maid behind her. The old maid looked quite proficient in kneading. However, no matter how skillful she was, she was unable to cure Qin Yuru's crooked stiff neck completely within a short time.

When her gaze fell on a half-open bag in medium size which was put behind the old maid, her eyes overshadowed.

"Acupuncture?"

Yujie also noticed the bag in which there were several long needles sticking out. Her face changed slightly because she found out that the old maid was not only kneading Qin Yuru's neck but also treating her with acupuncture.

Both Qin Wanru and Yujie were clear that acupuncture could not help but even lead to side effects which would make the patient difficult to recover soon.

Madam of Duke Xing could not wait anymore!

"Big Sister, if you don't need me here, I will take a rest then!" Knowing Qin Yuru might not want her to stay here, Qin Wanru looked expressionless and said to her in an impassive way.

"Okay." Qin Yuru snorted coldly without opening her eyes. She knew that there would be a great difference in social standing between Qin Wanru and her tomorrow.

She was unwilling to pretend to be on good terms with Qin Wanru.

Qin Wanru then left the main room and took a rest in her temporary residence while she asked Yujie to bring some plum blossoms back.

There were many plum trees along the way they went back. It was reasonable for her to let Yujie go outside with this excuse.

Qin Wanru was a miss, and thus it was inconvenient for her to walk around because many people would keep an eye on her. However, Yujie was a servant girl who was asked to pick some beautiful flowers, so by comparison it was much easier for her to move.

According to the time, it seemed that Qin Huaiyong should have been invited to come here by Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion. Qin Wanru didn't ask Yujie to figure out what they were talking about but to know about Qin Huaiyong's schedule.

"To accept Yuru as your granddaughter?" Qin Huaiyong put his tea down, frowned, and asked with confusion. "May I know the reason why you choose Yuru?"

He just arrived here after receiving the invitation from Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion.

"Your daughter and I really hit it off the first time we met each other. I like kids like her. Since I know her mother is gravely ill, we can bring her to Duke Xing's Mansion and let her recover here relievedly. Of course, I will treat Yuru in the same way I treat my own granddaughter," said Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion smilingly. Her gentle and kind look was totally different from that when she talked to Qin Wanru.

Nanny Yu sighed resignedly beside. Old Madam actually favored Second Miss Qin before, when knowing it was Qin Wanru who saved her. However, her favor towards Qin Wanru was incomparable to that towards First Miss Qin. Moreover, later they heard that news saying that Second Miss Qin was not innocent and virtuous. Besides, when they asked Qin Wanru to inform Ningyuan Army General to come here, she complied in appearance but opposed in heart, which aggravated Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion.

The last time Nanny Yu saw Second Miss Qin, she wasn't like that kind of person. However, why did she become like this now?

The young miss who was leisured, calm and even competent, had once been her backbone. However, why did this miss suddenly look like a callow youth who didn't take Old Madam's words seriously?

Nanny Yu couldn't figure it out but she also didn't dare to say anything. She had once said nice things about Second Miss Qin in front of Old Madam, but she didn't expect that Old Madam who had never scolded her burst into anger. Old Madam even warned her that if she kept saying these things, she would end their relationships over the years. Thus, given that, Nanny Yu didn't dare to say anything.

"You do like Yuru?" Qin Huaiyong asked after thinking for a while, seeming that he was moved by Old Madam's words.

"Yes, I do. I am sure about that," answered Old Madam kindly.

Seeing Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion repeat her words in a serious manner, Qin Huaiyong deeply felt that Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion did like Qin Yuru. Although he took a long time to think over it, he finally nodded in agreement.

"Sorry to bother you but I sure appreciate, Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion."

"Bother me? No! From now on, Yuru is my granddaughter and it is reasonable to take good care of my dear granddaughter!" Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion finally got relieved. She didn't expect that she could achieve her goal in such an easy way. Thus, she smiled so kindly and amiably that Qin Yuru seemed to be her biological granddaughter.

"Yuru just got hurt in her neck so it might take some time for her to fully recover. Tomorrow, we are going to invite some seniors of our mansion and to hold a simple ceremony to formally accept her as our family member. After that, she can take a good rest to recuperate her health in Duke Xing's Mansion. Besides, we will invite imperial physicians to treat her and also an etiquette instructor to teach her."

Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion had plans in her mind, so when seeing Qin Huaiyong agree, she then directly told all her plans to Qin Huaiyong, except the thing that she thought Qin Yuru was her true biological granddaughter, which she thought it was unnecessary to tell Qin Huaiyong.

Madam of Duke Xing had told her about the pros and cons of the formal acceptance of Qin Yuru. Since the cons outweighed the pros, it would be better for them not to tell the truth. Besides, Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion could treat her as her own biological granddaughter in daily life. Except the title of real granddaughter of Duke Xing's Mansion, she could give everything Qin Yuru wanted. Thus, according to this, it seemed that Duke Xing's Mansion didn't discommode Qin Yuru.

"But, Old Madam, isn't it too hasty?" Qin Huaiyong asked.

"No, besides, it is much more righteous for her to live here and better for her to recover!" Old Madam replied slowly. It seemed that Qin Yuru could benefit more if she formed bonds and relationships with Duke Xing's Mansion as soon as possible.

Qin Huaiyong was very quiet for a minute which seemed that he was hesitant.

Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion unhurriedly took a sip from her teacup. She was sure that Qin Huaiyong would not let the great chance go easily. The eldest daughter of Ningyuan Army General's Mansion and the granddaughter of Duke Xing's Mansion? The meanings behind the two titles were completely different and incomparable. It didn't just refer to a transfer from Ningyuan Army General's Mansion to Duke Xing's Mansion. It was much more than that.

"Well, then I will listen to you, Old Madam!" After thinking for a while, Qin Huaiyong looked up and answered decisively. He seemed to figure it out.

"Good, that is a deal! From now on, we two mansions now are a family. If you have any difficulty, come to us!" Satisfied with Qin Huaiyong's decision, Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion smiled much more kindly. She even sounded amiable, which would make people like her.

Qin Huaiyong was aware of the meaning behind her words. If Qin Yuru became the granddaughter of Duke Xing's Mansion, he would also benefit from this matter.

"I sure appreciate!" Qin Huaiyong stood up and bowed deeply and reverently to Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion in exaltation.

"You are welcome, Ningyuan Army General!" Old Madam nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

Since they had reached a conclusion about this matter, Qin Huaiyong thought it was improper for him to stay long so he stood up again and was ready to leave. He also promised Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion that he would attend the ceremony tomorrow.

After coming out of Old Madam's courtyard, Qin Huaiyong then went outward when following a guiding old maid. However, he met Madam of Duke Xing on the way.

"Ningyuan Army General!" The moment Madam of Duke Xing saw Qin Huaiyong she looked surprised, but she reacted very quickly. She stood at the crossing and smiled gently at him.

"Madam of Duke Xing!" Since he saw Madam of Duke Xing, Qin Huaiyong also stopped.

"General, may I ask about what Second Miss Qin likes?" asked Madam of Duke Xing smilingly.

"Wanru?" Qin Huaiyong stared at Madam of Duke Xing with confusion. "Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion just told me that she favors Yuru. I can't see what it has to do with Wanru."

"She does have nothing to do with this, but I also will prepare a gift for Second Miss Qin tomorrow. And that is why I intend to know her likings. Can you tell me what Second Miss Qin likes, Ningyuan Army General?" Madam of Duke Xing said decently.

Hearing her words, Qin Huaiyong couldn't refuse her, so he directly told Qin Wanru's hobbies and interests he knew to Madam of Duke Xing who kept nodding when listening.

Then they just stood by the roadside and had a little chat. After that, Qin Huaiyong said goodbye to her and left.

"Do you remember?" Watching Qin Huaiyong leaving hurriedly, Madam of Duke Xing asked slowly.

"Yes, madam. I almost remember what he just said!" Nanny Sheng took a step forward and answered. She just tried hard to memorize what Ningyuan Army General said.

"Good. When we get back, sort them out!" Madam of Duke Xing nodded and directly turned around. She was here to stop Qin Huaiyong deliberately.

During the talk, she got a lot of information.

"Madam, I will write them down later. However, I am afraid that these things will not be useful tomorrow!" Nanny Sheng also turned around and replied in a low voice.

She was Madam of Duke Xing's henchman so she knew what her master was planning. However, in Nanny Sheng's mind, it didn't need to be so troublesome and her master was too prudent!

"We can hold this information in reserve. If there is a need, then we can use it directly. No matter how cunning Qin Wanru is, she will not expect this. Ru'er also thinks in the same way and she has arranged two people to deal with Qin Wanru."

Madam of Duke Xing said slowly. Although her daughter was young, she was born to be extraordinary. She had always been very thoughtful. Thus, since she said that they could hold this information in reserve, then just did it according to her words. Besides, since Qin Wanru was Xi Qinghua's daughter, Madam of Duke Xing must get rid of her!

Even though those two people might be needless tomorrow, one day they would get useful.

Realizing that it was First Miss Shao's instruction, Nanny Sheng didn't dare to say anything. Although First Miss was young, she had always been clever. Since she said so, the whole plan would be available.

This night was destined to be sleepless.

Qin Yuru had been groaning and screaming for half the night. Her shrill cries might be caused by the acupuncture treatment. Thanks to her cries, Qin Wanru was unable to have a good sleep.

Not knowing when Qin Yuru stopped groaning, Qin Wanru fell into sleep unconsciously. Tomorrow, she was also waiting for tomorrow...

The world would know the truth!
