Medical Princess

Chapter 679 Nice to Meet Old Family Members!

“What’s the matter?” Shao Wanru stopped, looked at Madame Dong, and asked.

Madame Dong dodged her eyes for a moment, looked more and more hesitant, and didn’t know where to start.

“Madame Dong, if you think of anything, you can send someone to take a message to Rui’an Great Elder Princess’s Mansion directly.” Shao Wanru said with a smile and did not make detailed inquiries. From Madame Dong’s expression, Shao Wanru could tell that she didn’t want to tell it now.

There were too many people watching her in Duke Xing’s Mansion, and she wanted to keep Butterfly Clothing Shop a secret from Duke Xing’s Mansion.

It was much better for Madame Dong to send a message to Rui’an Great Elder Princess’s Mansion, where her grandma could pass on the message to her than to directly send a message to Duke Xing’s Mansion.

“Thank you, Miss!” Madame Dong looked relieved, bowed sideways to Shao Wanru, and said.

Shao Wanru nodded with a smile and left with Yujie.

After getting in the carriage, Yujie asked, “Miss, does Madame Dong want to tell something but find herself in an embarrassing situation?”

“I think so!” Shao Wanru said with a nod and looked out of the window through the gauze curtain. She suddenly thought of something. A long time ago, she had seen a figure at the entrance of Butterfly Clothing Shop. Was there something behind it?

At that time, she didn’t figure out who it was, but these days, she suddenly figured it out!

There was a coldness in her watery eyes. If what she guessed correctly, what she had said just now indeed helped Madame Dong.

Since it concerned her, she needed to prepare for it as soon as possible. She trusted Madame Dong, not only because they got along well with each other as the employer and the employee in this life, but also because of something she knew in the last life.

If she guessed correctly, it was no wonder that Madame Dong could enter the imperial palace as a businesswoman in the last life. There must be someone recommending her repeatedly.

In the past three years, she had almost forgotten about it. If it were not for Madame Dong’s hesitant expression, she really wouldn’t have thought of it.

“Dong Xiu’er has got married. Do you know which family she has married into?”

Yujie thought for a while and said, “I don’t know. I’ll inquire about it next time. I only heard that it seems to be an ordinary family granted an official rank, but I don’t know the details!”

Shao Wanru had always paid attention to Madame Dong and never cared about Dong Xiu’er. So, Yujie only knew that Dong Xiu’er had married a decent man, who seemed to be a scholar, and she knew nothing other than that.

“Go and find out about it!” Shao Wanru narrowed her watery eyes and said with a nod. After coming down the mountain this time, she had to sort out some complicated things and eliminate some hidden dangers that she couldn’t get rid of before. She had been too young to deal with something at that time, but now it was the right time!

Now she needed to bring up some bygones again, and visiting Qin’s Mansion today was the first step...

Qin’s Mansion was still located in the original place, but it was much larger than before. It was said that it merged the surrounding houses. Qin Huaiyong was highly trusted by the emperor. Although he did not get a promotion, the emperor’s trust in him made other officials not dare to take him lightly. Therefore, Qin’s Mansion had extended a lot!

As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of Qin’s Mansion, someone went in to report. Hearing that Shao Wanru paid a visit, Shui Ruolan came out to welcome her in person. When Shui Ruolan saw Shao Wanru get out of the carriage, her eyes turned red.

“Wanru!”

“Aunt Shui!” Shao Wanru stepped forward, bowed deeply to Shui Ruolan respectfully, and said.

Shui Ruolan held back the lump in her throat, helped her up, and said, “Get up, get up!”

Then she dragged her inside!

Although the two of them were no longer the mother and the daughter, they were still as close as before. During the period when Shao Wanru stayed in the Yuhui Nunnery, Shui Ruolan and Old Madam Qin visited her from time to time. They treated her the same way as they did when Shao Wanru was in Qin’s Mansion.

“How is grandma?” Shao Wanru asked as she walked inside.

“She’s fine. Nothing serious. Mingqiu Nun gave her a few more prescriptions, and now she’s much healthier than before after taking the medicine!” Shui Ruolan nodded repeatedly and said. When she saw Shao Wanru’s pale face, she felt sad.

Shao Wanru always had a ruddy and bright complexion, but now she looked a little pale. It was obvious that she had a hard time in Duke Xing’s Mansion. Thinking of this, she felt even sadder. If it were not for the fact that Duke Xing’s Mansion insisted on taking Shao Wanru back, she actually preferred to keep Shao Wanru in Qin’s Mansion.

With her eyelashes fluttering twice, Shao Wanru gave a sweet smile. Although her face was a little pale, her lips were still naturally bright and red, which made her white face as delicate as jade look breathtakingly beautiful.

She looked aloof and cold when she didn’t smile, but when she smiled, she looked exceedingly charming like hundreds of flowers in full bloom.

“Aunt Shui, how are you? Where is Brother Xuan?” Shao Wanru asked with a smile.

“I’m fine. Nothing serious. Brother Xuan is very naughty, and he is in mother’s place at this time!” Shui Ruolan answered her questions one by one with a smile.

Qin Xuan, nicknamed Brother Xuan, was Shui Ruolan’s son. He had followed Shui Ruolan and Old Madam Qin to visit Shao Wanru before, so he was not unfamiliar with Shao Wanru.

Now, he was almost three years old.

As soon as they entered the door of Old Madam Qin’s courtyard, they saw a chubby child rush over, throw himself directly into Shao Wanru’s arms and say, “Sister! Sister!”

He was so excited that others might consider them full sister and brother.

Since Brother Xuan was born, he had been very close to Shao Wanru. There were no other sisters in the mansion. Since Qin Yuru married into Duke Yong’s Mansion, she seldom returned. Even when she came back, she looked at Brother Xuan with a gloomy and horrifying look. So Shui Ruolan did not dare to let Brother Xuan get close to her.

Meanwhile, Shao Wanru seemed to have a special affinity with Brother Xuan. Every time Brother Xuan saw Shao Wanru, he treated her as his biological sister and was extremely intimate with her.

Shao Wanru tried hard to catch Brother Xuan, who was quite a strong child. If Yujie hadn’t supported her beside her, she would have been knocked over directly.

“Brother Xuan, do you miss me?” Shao Wanru hugged the little fatty with a smile and said.

“I miss you so much, sister. I wanted to visit you, but grandma didn’t allow me and said that I was not obedient. I’m very obedient. I can eat by myself and begin studying!” Brother Xuan straightened her back and proudly raised his chubby little face and said.

“Brother Xuan has begun studying, but just can’t read properly for the time being!” Shui Ruolan said with a smile and reached out to pull the little fatty so that Shao Wanru could stand up.

“Grandma!” Shao Wanru took two steps forward, bowed to Old Madam Qin, and said. Although Old Madam Qin was thin, she seemed to be in good spirits, which made Shao Wanru feel relieved.

“I’m fine. Zhuozhuo, sit down and talk with me!” Old Grandma reached out to pull Shao Wanru to sit next to her and said.

In fact, she missed Shao Wanru very much, but it was inappropriate for her to visit Duke Xing’s Mansion anyway. Seeing Shao Wanru come to see her, she was naturally happy.

Although Shao Wanru was raised in the name of Madam Di at the very beginning, she was actually brought up by Old Madam Qin. How could Old Madam Qin not feel distressed when she saw that the little girl grew up into such an adult but became another mansion’s child?

However, no matter how distressed she was, Shao Wanru was not her grandchild after all. Moreover, considering that Shao Wanru was in a difficult situation in Qin’s Mansion, she thought that it should be a good thing for Shao Wanru to leave Qin’s Mansion.

Old Madam Qin didn’t expect that Duke Xing’s Mansion would be so cruel to Zhuozhuo. How could they, who were related to Zhuozhuo by blood, treat Zhuozhuo so harshly and even have plotted to set up Zhuozhuo long before?

Three years ago, before reclaiming her identity as a Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion, Zhuozhuo was just a child. At that time, they had plotted to deal with a child. Thinking of this, how could Old Madam Qin not despise the entire Duke Xing’s Mansion?

Rumors had been spread all over. Although Old Madam Qin didn’t go out, she knew these rumors and finally connected all the things together.

Madam of Duke Xing obviously knew something long before and deliberately took advantage of Qin Yuru and Madam Di to hurt Zhuozhuo. If they succeeded, Zhuozhuo would be doomed eternally. As soon as she thought of this, Old Madam Qin couldn’t hold back her anger and felt distressed.

“Zhuozhuo, your Aunt Shui and I are always your families!” Old Madam Qin patted Shao Wanru’s hand gently and said lovingly. She was really afraid that Shao Wanru would feel upset.

Although Shao Wanru had been smart since she was a child, she had hardly been favored by her family. How much would it upset her to be treated in this way by her closest relatives?

“Grandma, don’t worry. I will be fine!” Shao Wanru said with a smile. Knowing the meaning of Old Madam Qin’s words, Shao Wanru comforted her.

She didn’t care about how the members of Duke Xing’s Mansion treated her at all!

When this kinship became schemes and vicious set-ups, in fact, it could no longer restrain her as much as it did at the beginning!

“That’s good. If you need help, you can come to me and your Aunt Shui. I will do all I can to help you!” Old Madam Qin said.

Shui Ruolan sat down with the little fatty Brother Xuan in her arms and said with a smile, “I will help you deal with something that is inconvenient for you to deal with!”

Now that she had firmly secured the seat of the general’s wife, she said with confidence.

“Yes, help sister. I will also help sister!” Brother Xuan jumped a few times and showed his support for his mother. His little chubby face looked absolutely adorable.

Brother Xuan did not look like Qin Yuru, and it even might be said that they were completely unlike each other. Perhaps it was because they respectively looked like their mothers. Brother Xuan was very delicate like Shui Ruolan, while Qin Yuru inherited Madam Di’s gorgeous look. Nevertheless, upon a closer look at Brother Xuan’s face, one could still tell the resemblance between Brother Xuan and Qin Huaiyong.

Brother Xuan bounced vivaciously at this moment, looking extremely cute!

However, the little fatty was so big that Shui Ruolan almost couldn’t hold him and could only put him down helplessly. He immediately pounced on Shao Wanru, pulled Shao Wanru’s sleeve, looked up at Shao Wanru with a sincere face, and said, “Sister, I will definitely help you!”

Such a silly and cute look of the little fatty, who pretended to be an adult, made everyone present laugh.

“Okay, Brother Xuan, I know you will help me in the future!” Shao Wanru said with a smile and reached out to pat Brother Xuan’s little head.

Receiving his sister’s approval, Brother Xuan grew even more complacent and lifted his little face proudly.

Everyone laughed together again. Shao Wanru asked about Brother Xuan. Knowing that he had already started studying, she asked about his study. After that, she changed the topic, “Grandma, how is Madam Di?”
