Chapter 123 The Last Life, the Place Where She Was Cut in Two at the Waist

Nanny Zhou’s news came quickly, and the cart driver disappeared on the first day of his arrival in the capital.

It was said that many people had been tied up at that time, but only the cart driver disappeared. And he was not among those witnesses who were later sent to Duke Yong’s Mansion. It seemed that he suddenly disappeared when he entered in the capital.

Madam Di became really panicked. If this person was controlled by Qin Huaiyong, it would be okay. However, if he fell into the hands of other vicious people, it could be really troublesome.

She had to find him.

Qin Wanru had never thought of meeting Qi Rongzhi on the way. Her heart jumped slightly, seeing that the direction the latter was heading was clearly in Qin Yuru’s direction.

“Qin Wanru, your clothes are so ugly and short that I really can’t wear them. Do they fit you well?” Qi Rongzhi stopped and waited for Qin Wanru to come. She was smiling. The words she spoke sounded like she cared, but in fact, she was mocking her.

“Where are the clothes?” Looking at her, Qin Wanru asked calmly.

“Those clothes have been sent to my eldest brother as a sample, but will you still wear them? Look at you, you can’t wear them either. They are too short for me. They will be up to your neck if you wear them!”

Qi Rongzhi’s eyebrows were full of smiles, which meant that she was in a good mood.

“When will they be brought back? The clothes that Big Sister gave me must be kept.” Qin Wanru took a glimpse of the smiling Qi Rongzhi, with her pink lips lifting slightly.

“You really want them?” Qi Rongzhi dissatisfied.

“Of course. It shows the kindness of Big Sister!” Qin Wanru nodded and did not feel that it was shameful to get her clothes back.

“Ah, you really…” Qi Rongzhi scorned her, then realized that she was in the Qin’s Mansion at the moment, so now wore mockery on her face. “My eldest brother will bring the clothes the day after tomorrow, then you can come to pick them up, or should I have someone bring them to you?”

“Have someone send them!” Qin Wanru said carefree and leisurely.

“Qin Wanru, you don’t really want to wear these clothes to attend the banquet, do you?” Qi Rongzhi looked at her formal manner and was surprised.

“Madam said that she would take me and Mother with her. Except for grandmother, who is unwilling to go due to her old age, everyone in our mansion can go!” Qin Wanru blinked her eyes and blurted out, “Anyway, it’s not difficult. Even if there are more people, it doesn’t matter.”

“Isn’t it… it hard to get there?” Qi Rongzhi asked in surprise. She made a lot of effort to get Qin Yuru to agree.

“Who said that? Actually, it is quite easy. Since the banquet of the Marquises’ Mansion of Fengyang invited our mansion, how many people can go there is up to Madam. If Miss Qi wants to go there, you can also tell Madam,” Qin Wanru said in a very casual way, and turned to leave.

Only Qi Rongzhi stood there alone, frowning slowly.

After a long while, she turned to Qin Yuru’s yard. She had not only promised Qin Yuru that she would help her brother wrong Qin Wanru, but she also gave Qin Yuru a set of jewelry. Under these conditions, Qin Yuru finally agreed to bring her to the banquet.

Qi Rongzhi was glad that it could be done, but actually, it was not difficult to do. It was just because Qin Yuru showed signs of reluctance deliberately. When she thought of Qin Yuru begging for good words and taking her own things, Qi Rongzhi felt that she could not smooth out her breath, and her originally happy face immediately became angry.

Taking advantage of the leverage she had on her, Qin Yuru was also not ashamed to mention so many conditions.

Qi Rongzhi had never suffered a loss. Just a few words from Qin Wanru made Qi Rongzhi immediately feel that she had suffered a loss, a great loss. How could she let it go?

“Miss, Miss Qi went to look for the Young Lady in a hurry!” At the turning area, Yujie looked behind her on purpose and saw Qi Rongzhi going forward in a fluster, so she lowered her voice to Qin Wanru.

“She went to find Qin Yuru to quarrel with!” Qin Wanru said in a slow and orderly way without turning her head, with the corner of her mouth slightly hooked and a bright smile.

“Miss Qi is still so arrogant here? This is the Qin’s Mansion, not Jiangzhou.” Yujie was surprised.

“It doesn’t matter that it is not the Qi’s Mansion of Jiangzhou because she knows something about Qin Yuru. As far as it not being Jiangzhou, she will understand after several tosses and turns!” Qin Wanru said calmly. It was not a good thing if Qin Yuru and Qi Rongzhi were at peace.

It would be good for her if they quarreled. Qin Yuru and Madam Di wanted to keep a secret, unwilling to inform the slightest message from Jiangzhou. Then they could do and say whatever they wanted.

Qin Wanru was 100 percent certain that they would inevitably blame her.

As early as when she had entered the capital, she had already thought about the next step, so she took the cart driver, who wanted to rob her, early.

She hadn’t expected to expose the cart driver. After all, she was worried about renting a yard. Although Wang Feng had been taking care of the cart driver privately, that was not the case. She was afraid that Madam Di would deal with Wang Feng.

But at this time, it was impossible to threaten Madam Di without using the issue of the cart driver. Due to Madam Di’s intentions at this time and the fact that Shui Ruolan was forced to attend the banquet, Qin Wanru was sure that Madam Di’s means would be fierce this time. She would even force Shui Ruolan to die. So she had to stop it before Madam Di succeeded.

Compared with the cart driver, it was not a small deal if Qi Rongzhi and Qi Tianyu made trouble, and Madam Di had to calm down the matter as soon as possible.

If Qin Yuru could quarrel with Qi Rongzhi at this time, she could disturb Madam Di’s heart and take advantage of this opportunity to get the cart driver away.

Qin Wanru had already thought of a good place to lock up the cart driver that Madam Di would not notice.

“Will Miss Qi threaten the Young Lady?” Yujie took a cool breath.

“Yes, but she does not dare to do too much. She still lives in the Qin’s Mansion, so she is doomed not to do too much. There is coercion between the two people, so it is impossible for them to make a lot of trouble.” A sharp dim light flashed in Qin Wanru’s eyes as she spoke, moving forward slowly along the way.

“Then… what’s the use?” Yujie was stunned.

“It is useful. It can make Madam distracted, so she will be unable to wholeheartedly find the cart driver as a witness. The cart driver is not really important, but he can prove what Duke Yangqu’s Princess said, which is very important.” Seeing that Yujie could not understand, Qin Wanru hinted with a faint smile.

“So it’s not that the cart driver knows more than other witnesses. It’s only because it concerns Duke Yangqu’s Princess, so he was kept intentionally.” Yujie understood. Although it was she who had taken him with her at the beginning, she did not understand what Qin Wanru meant before. After a long time, she admired Qin Wanru in her heart.

Although Miss Qin was young, she was extremely intelligent. As early as on her way to the capital, she had already calculated the affairs of Madam Di and kept an important witness.

The more panicked Madam Di was, the more she would give herself away.

“The day after tomorrow, when Qi Tianyu comes, you go to keep a close eye on him!” As soon as Qin Wanru had finished saying this, the topic changed. The purpose of what she said was to find out from Qi Rongzhi’s mouth when Qi Tianyu would arrive in the mansion.

It was certain that Qin Yuru would secretly go to meet Qi Tianyu in private.

“Miss, you can rest assured. I will give it my full attention!” Yujie nodded her head, but was somewhat worried. “What about the cart driver, Miss? What are you going to do? I am afraid that Madam Di will find Wang Feng, and that would be troublesome!”

A glimmer of light flashed in Qin Wanru’s eyes as she said slowly, “There is a place where he can hide.”

“Where is it?” Yujie asked with her eyes opening wide.

“Prince Chen’s Mansion!” Qin Wanru said.

Yujie was stunned at first, then became happy. “Yes, if he was hidden in Prince Chen’s Mansion, Madam Di could not find out. Miss, you can rest assured. I will go to inquire where Prince Chen is, and find Xiao Xuanzi.”

Yujie, Qing Yue, and Xiao Xuanzi were considered to have a revolutionary friendship.

“It’s inconvenient for you to ask. I’ll go myself!” Qin Wanru shook her head.

“Why?” Since Yujie was so old, she didn’t think she was unable to ask about this. There should be many people who knew about Prince Chen’s Mansion. After all, it was the mansion of a prince.

“Prince Chen lives in the Southern Palace!” Qin Wanru took a deep breath and said slowly, “Go find someone to prepare a horse, I want to go out to find it myself!”

“Miss, you’ll go to find it? I can also inquire about where the Southern Palace is!” Yujie was confused.

Qin Wanru shook her head and took a deep breath, as if it could suppress the bloody smell from her heart. The most profound memory of her last life was the Southern Palace. The place where she was trapped was also the Southern Palace.

However, at that time, it was the dethroned Prince Yue who had lived in the Southern Palace. When she had been cut in two at the waist, she was in the Southern Palace as well.

It could be said that many of her bad memories were from the Southern Palace. Now, Chu Liuchen lived there. The Southern Palace where she had been killed was the same place as the Southern Palace where Chu Liuchen lived, which made her more and more depressed.

Seeing that when Qin Wanru had mentioned the “Southern Palace” her face suddenly turned white, Yujie was not rest assured and said, “Miss, I’ll go there!”

“No, I will go!” Qin Wanru shook her head. She wanted to get out of the shadow of her last life. She couldn’t avoid the Southern Palace forever. Now she also had a reason to go there. People like Yujie couldn’t enter the Southern Palace at all, or even if she was able to enter, she couldn’t see Chu Liuchen.

To deal with Chu Liuchen, she should do it by herself.

During the conversation, the two had already returned to Zhifang House and Qing Yue welcomed them outside.

After Qin Wanru had entered the house and sat down, she ordered Qing Yue to tell the old lady that she wanted to go to the street to have a look, and she told Yujie to have a cart ready.

After the two servant girls left and Qin Wanru sat down, she thought for a moment, calming down her tumbling heart. Since she was going to see where she had lost her last life, she had to think clearly about some things and finish them earlier.

She took a deep breath and went into the inner room. She took something out of the package she had brought from Jiangzhou. After opening it, she looked at it carefully before returning it to her sleeve. A slight fragrance of medicine slowly overflowed, which was not strong, but very fresh…
