Chapter 661 Get Away
“Miss, aren’t... we going back?” Yujie asked. In fact, Yujie and Shao Wanru didn’t go away but hid in the depths of the plum blossom forest. The thing happened in a flash and was so shocking that even Yujie, who had always been bold, hadn’t completely come to herself at this moment!
After the First Miss suddenly fell into the water, it was Commandery Prince Qing, the most useless prince, who saved her instead of Prince Yue or Prince Zhou. Although she knew that her master must have another plan when she got her master’s wet handkerchief, she did not expect that such an explosive thing would happen after her master left.
Who was Shao Yanru? The most favored lineal eldest daughter of Duke Xing’s Mansion prepared for the royal family or exactly prepared for the position of the “Empress”. In the current situation, her reputation was ruined. An exceedingly beautiful appearance was not a necessity for the future “Empress”, but a flawless reputation was.
Besides the Empress, a flawless reputation was also a necessity for the wife of any prince. Now if Shao Yanru could not marry Commandery Prince Qing, she could only spend the rest of her life in a Buddhist temple!
How could the ambitious Shao Yanru give in to it? She would go crazy! So She would never accept this result!
Shao Wanru looked at the lake opposite calmly and coldly. The plum blossom forest hid her figure, but she could clearly see the waterside pavilion in the lake. She asked, “Yujie, are you afraid?”
“Miss... I am not afraid of the First Miss, but I am afraid that if the First Miss finds out anything, she will hurt you at any cost!” Yujie said subconsciously.
She was really worried that Shao Yanru would take revenge on her master like crazy.
In Duke Xing’s Mansion, Shao Yanru was the only Miss they treasured like a pearl, as well as the hope of the entire Duke Xing’s Mansion. If Shao Yanru retaliated against her master like crazy, who could protect her master?
Shao Wanru’s voice was very soft and calm. She slightly raised her clear watery eyes, revealing a trace of the charm she had always hidden.
She had always been indifferent to people and things, and her indifference made her less charming and conspicuous. What had happened in the last life in her dream told her that if she appeared to be delicate, she would be conspicuously charming, which would result in criticism.
In this case, she would rather keep others thousands of miles away by acting indifferently.
Common people preferred delicate and graceful ladies and were more tolerant to them because they thought that this kind of ladies gentle and dignified enough to be the model of all ladies. Meanwhile, they more or less thought that charming ladies were not fair ladies and deserved to be despised.
However, she was this kind of charming lady despised by others. In the last life, she was kicked out of the Deputy Prime Minister’s Chambers after Wen Xichi’s death because her lips were too bright. Although she was mentally and physically exhausted in the mourning hall, she still looked more charming and delicate than ordinary ladies.
But it became the fabricated excuse the Wen’s Mansion used to kick her out.
“Even if I do nothing, Shao Yanru will still deal with me like crazy for the rest of her life!” Shao Wanru said indifferently with a trace of calmness in her low voice as if she were talking about someone else’s business.
In this life, she was clear-minded and cruel. She would not allow anyone to use her as a stepping stone to achieving high ambitions.
She had to defeat Shao Yanru. Since Shao Wanru knew that she was the daughter of the former Heir of Duke Xing, Shao Yanru and Madam of Duke Xing had never left her any chance to survive. They would not stop hurting her until she lost all standing and reputation and remained infamous after her death as they had done in the last life.
Thinking of this, she lifted the corners of her mouth to show a smile as bright as a blooming flower. Since that was the case, why should she show any mercy to them?
In the last life, she died as the first lady cut in half at the waist, and her disgraceful death left an indelible mark in history.
Her disgraceful life left a disgraceful mark in history.
As a girl, who didn’t even find her parents, was set up again and again and finally died inconspicuously like dust. No one cared about the life of a girl without parents, and no one protected her.
She clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves and felt her sharp nails stung her palms, and then unclenched her fists slowly. Since she harbored a hatred too deep to forget, she decided not to let it go.
After her rebirth, she knew what she was going to do. She would make them pay for what they had done, and she had nothing to fear!
In this life, she would take revenge on those who had hurt her and repay her debt to those who had helped her!
She, who had climbed up from hell, was not afraid of staining her hands with blood. Now that the royal family was involved in this matter, Duke Xing’s Mansion could not handle it by themselves. Even if she would also come to a sticky end in this life, she would not give in!
Yujie fell silent, bit her lip, and had a strange feeling. Based on her understanding of the First Miss Shao’s character, she could tell that the First Miss Shao would not stop hurting her master until the First Miss Shao died. Her master’s giving in was meaningless. Today the First Miss Shao had attempted to drug her master in the carriage. She had smelled the handkerchief later. Based on her good understanding of medicine, she naturally knew that the mixture of the drug and wine would result in something terrible.
The First Miss Shao was not the only one involved in this matter. Old Madam, Honored Consort Shu, and Madam of Duke Xing had also intervened in it. If her master did not see through the trick, her master would probably be the victim at this time.
When the accident happened just now, she saw several guards and one of them help pull Shao Yanru ashore. If it were her master, they would even force her master to marry the guard.
Either the First Miss or her master would be the victim. In that vicious scheme, her master would only be more pitiful and desperate than the First Miss Shao.
As the personal maid of her master, she definitely could not shrink back.
“Miss, I got it. I will never drag you down. What should I do now?” After thinking for a while, Yujie pulled herself together and said.
Her master’s ravishing and calm face gave her every courage she needed. She decided not to shrink back for the sake of her master. No matter how crazy the First Miss was, she would stand in front of her master and would not allow the First Miss to hurt her master.
“Let’s go there for a walk. It has nothing to do with us!” Shao Wanru said with a sneer and turned to walk out of the plum blossom forest.
“Aren’t we going to see the First Miss? If we go to see her now, Honored Consort Shu and the others will definitely feel your kindness!”
Although Yujie followed Shao Wanru out, she still asked in confusion.
“So what if they feel my kindness? They won’t be soft-hearted and will even push the blame to me!” Shao Wanru said with a trace of bloodthirsty hostility across her calm eyes.
“Why would they do that?” Yujie gasped with surprise and asked.
“Why wouldn’t they do that? Both Prince Yue and Prince Zhou are on Shao Yanru’s side and don’t want her reputation to be ruined. Regarding Chu Qing, even if he wants to marry Shao Yanru, he doesn’t dare to say anything in front of the two of them. What’s more, if Honored Consort Shu instructs the guards to say that it was me who fell into the water, both Prince Yue and Prince Zhou will also say that. Since everyone says so, it has to be me!”
Shao Wanru said.
Yujie was so frightened that her face changed dramatically and her lips trembled. After a long while, she regained her voice, “How... How could they be so shameless!”
If that was the case, her master would be the one who lost her face and had her reputation ruined!
“Why is it impossible? Anyway, except for them, no one else knows it. They must be pleased to exchange the reputation of the useless Fifth Miss for the reputation of the noble First Miss Shao!”
Both Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou had their own selfish motives. Since they got such an opportunity to save Shao Yanru’s reputation, they would not hesitate to plunge her into an eternal hell.
“Let’s go!” As Shao Wanru said, she continued walking slowly. She was familiar with this section in the last life. Although she had a blurred memory now, she could manage to get out of here. She had to run into a few more people on her way so that she could save herself by letting others would know that she was not in the pavilion where Shao Yanru fell into the water just now.
Suddenly, there were sounds from the depths of the plum blossom forest, and they seemed to be caused by someone in a wheelchair passing by. Yujie took two steps forward warily, stood in front of Shao Wanru, and looked at the plum blossom forest in front of her.
As the sounds got closer and closer, a handsome young man in a snow-white fox fur overall appeared in front of them. With his thin figure under the luxurious snow-white fox fur overall, although he looked sick, they could see that he was as gentle as jade. The plum blossom forest was beautiful, and such scenery could be considered one of the greatest in the imperial palace.
However, when the young man in a wheelchair appeared in front of them, everything became the most inconspicuous background.
It turned out to be Chu Liuchen. Shao Wanru was relieved. Before she found more people to prove that she was not the one falling into the water just now, she was still in danger.
Now that Chu Liuchen was here, it was great!
Xiao Xuanzi pushed the wheelchair over with a smile and loosened his grip on it. After that, he walked up to Shao Wanru, bowed respectfully, and said, “Greetings, Fifth Miss!”
“Why... why are you here?” Shao Wanru raised her watery eyes and asked. Shouldn’t Chu Liuchen recuperate in his mansion recently? Why did he appear by this cold lake in such a cold winter?
Although he was dressed in fox fur overall, he had always been weaker than ordinary people. Coming over like this was not good for his health.
“Why can’t I come!” Chu Liuchen stood up and walked up to Shao Wanru with a gentle smile, and then reached out naturally to hold Shao Wanru’s hand and said, “Let’s go to see my grandma!”
“Are... are you alright?” Seeing him walk over leisurely with less difficulty than she thought, Shao Wanru opened her watery eyes wide in shock, looked him up and down several times, and asked. He seemed to be extremely abnormal.
When he was in good health, he did not seem to be in such a good state. How could he seem to be much better after being terribly frightened and passing out with her on top of him. Although his lips and face were still pale, he was in good spirits. When he held her hand, she could feel that his hand was still cold, but it was not the piercing cold like before!
Chu Liuchen in front of her was still the young man in her memory, but he seemed to be a little different at the same time. He came to overlap the young man standing high on the top and looking down at the common people in her memory.
He was really different from before despite no obvious symptoms. But she thought so from the perspective of a doctor. Something she didn’t know had happened...
