Chapter 297 Madam, You’ve Been Framed up

“Countess Yong asks to meet me?” Shui Ruolan was dumbfounded for a while, and then put down the list in her hand and asked with surprise. Every time Countess Yong came to meet Madam Di or Madam Dowager, and had never asked to meet Shui Ruolan.

“Yes, she asks to meet you!” The maid nodded repeatedly.

Shui Ruolan looked towards Qin Wanru, and anxiously frowned. “Why does she come to meet me?”

“She might feel guilty!” Qin Wanru said meaningfully with a slight smile.

“Guilty?” Shui Ruolan didn’t understand for a moment, and even frowned more.

“Do you remember Miss Wang framed me up in the palace? As long as Miss Wang was not crazy, she would not frame up someone whom she just met, unless there are grudges between her and me!” Qin Wanru calmly analyzed for Shui Ruolan.

She did not tell what had happened outside the palace gate. This matter involved too many people. Since everyone considered it a murder targeted at Chu Liuchen, so be it.

“Does Countess Yong know this Miss Wang?” Shui Ruolan said with annoyance. If there was anyone who intended to frame up Qin Wanru and had any grievances against Qin Wanru, it was Duke Yong’s Mansion except for Madam Di. Those of Duke Yong’s Mansion couldn’t bear to see Shui Ruolan and Qin Wanru live a good life, so they would definitely frame up Qin Wanru!

Shui Ruolan had asked Qin Wanru why Wang Yishu framed her up as soon as they met, but Qin Wanru just vaguely said that she didn’t know because she did not want to involve Shui Ruolan in this kind of thing. Now it corresponded to what Qin Wanru said before!

“I suppose so. I heard that Countess Yong and Madam of Duke Xing had a good personal relationship, so Countess Yong naturally knows Miss Wang, the niece of Duke Xing!” Qin Wanru deliberately diverted the topic.

“I see. No wonder Miss Wang framed you up as soon as she met you. It turns out that she did that because of Countess Yong!” Shui Ruolan was distracted as Qin Wanru expected. After thinking for a moment, Shui Ruolan said angrily, “What should we do now?”

“Mother, you can meet her first!” Qin Wanru stood up with a slight smile and said lightly, “If she has brought some gifts, you might as well accept them!”

“Ask Countess Yong to come here!” Shui Ruolan considered her reasonable, sat up straight slightly and said.

The maid promised and left.

Qin Wanru whispered to Yujie, and Yujie nodded and also left. After telling Shui Ruolan to pay attention to something, Qin Wanru went to the back of a large screen and hid there. She also wanted to hear what Countess Yong would say.

What happened at the gate of the palace was definitely related to Duke Yong’s Mansion!

Countess Yong looked extremely kind when coming in. Someone ignorant might consider Shui Ruolan was the daughter who had married into the Qin’s Mansion from Duke Yong’s Mansion.

After they sat down, Countess Yong pushed a gift list over with a smile and said cheerfully, “I heard that Madam of Duke Xing is going to officially adopt Miss Qi as her daughter. I have nothing else to give your mansion, so I’ve brought some gifts. ”

The kind smile and the courteous tone made Countess Yong look like a completely different person, which was quite surprising.

“How, how can I accept them? Besides, this is the joyful event of Duke Xing’s Mansion and the Qi’s Mansion, with nothing to do with our mansion!” Shui Ruolan did not reach for the gift list, but refused politely with a smile.

“How can it have nothing to do with your mansion? Everyone knows that Madam of Duke Xing chose Miss Qi to be her daughter in your mansion. If Miss Qi is not in your mansion, there won’t be such a joyful event!” Countess Yong said cheerfully. Although she sounded reasonable, it was farfetched anyway.

But her words made sense indeed!

“But it’s…” Shui Ruolan smiled hesitantly, seemingly not knowing what to say for a while.

“Madam Shui, don’t hesitate to accept them. Our mansions are closely related, since we are going to unite by marriage. Anyway it’s the joyful event of both our mansions, and we should celebrate it. Being adopted as the daughter of Madam of Duke Xing is the blessing Miss Qi met in your mansion. I come here today to join in the joyful event and hope to be blessed with happiness! ”

Countess Yong said in an increasingly amicable tone, and this reason became increasingly convincing. At this time, Shui Ruolan could no longer refuse.

“Since you say so, I’ll accept them. Thank you, Madam!” Shui Ruolan smiled with kindness, reached out to take the list, and even became more cheerful after glancing over the list.

Countess Yong involuntarily showed a trace of scorn in her eyes. She thought that Shui Ruolan really came from a humble family as she expected, since Shui Ruolan beamed with joy at the sight of the gift list. But it was better this way, because it would be easier for her to inquire about information. Countess Yong was terribly frightened during these days. The incident happened suddenly, affected the overall situation and developed too quickly, so that Countess Yong was terribly frightened.

Originally, it was only a matter of framing up Qin Wanru, but led to the major event of Prince Chen being assassinated. After knowing this, Countess Yong almost passed out with fear. At that time, she turned to Madam of Duke Xing to find a solution, but was told that Madam of Duke Xing was sick after reaching Duke Xing’s Mansion.

Countess Yong felt that she was going to get sick too out of fear!

After returning home, she was increasingly scared by the development of the incident. She was in breathless anxiety every day, for fear that someone would accidentally come to check on her. After only a few days, there was white hair on Countess Yong’s head. A slightest sign of trouble could make her cuddle up in a heap in panic.

Later, she went to meet Madam of Duke Xing again, but was told that Madam of Duke Xing was very busy. Duke Xing’s niece framed up Qin Wanru in the palace, and then accidentally fell into a coma and was left at the gate of the palace after being treated by the imperial physicians. Madam of Duke Xing went to pick her up.

Countess Yong did not give up and went there again, but was told that Madam of Duke Xing was busy asking doctors to treat her niece with no time to meet her.

As Madam of Duke Xing kept avoiding meeting her, Countess Yong became increasingly flustered. Hearing that Madam of Duke Xing ostentatiously indicated that she was going to adopt Qi Rongzhi, who lived in the Qin’s Mansion, as her daughter, Countess Yong involuntarily came to have a look and inquire about information.

Seeing Shui Ruolan accept the gifts with a cheerful smile, she looked relaxed. It seemed that no one related what had happened to Qin Wanru to her, and she would be fine.

“What happened to Second Miss in the palace that day? What happened to the niece of Duke Xing’s Mansion?” Countess Yong held back the scorn in her eyes and asked with a smile and concern.

Countess Yong didn’t dare to directly ask about what had happened at the gate of the palace, so she intended to talk about the incident in the palace first. Countess Yong was surprised by what Wang Yishu did. Countess Yong had seen the niece of Duke Xing several times, but she didn’t look like a crazy person. Countess Yong had been told that she had a good reputation!

“I don’t know what happened. Wanru was frightened and got sick after coming back. She’s still nursing her body in the yard!” Shui Ruolan sighed and lay through her teeth. “I wonder why Miss Wang was so hostile to Wanru and did something so terrible to her as soon as they met! ”

“Miss Wang had a good reputation. Despite her humble family, she was famous for her talents. It is really strange that she directly framed up Second Miss this time. She is really vicious. Fortunately, a wicked person will be punished by God. I heard that she didn’t wake up in the palace. Even if she wakes up now, she can’t get up. Her life is maintained by medicine every day!

Countess Yong seemed to share the same bitter hatred with resentment on her face.

“Yeah, Wanru is terribly frightened. She entered the palace happily, but…” Shui Ruolan didn’t dare to finish her words. Obviously the following words slightly broke a taboo.

“Second Miss was really unlucky that day. I heard that she had an accident at the gate of the palace and almost lost her life!” Countess Yong calmly shifted the topic to what had happened at the gate of the palace with a sigh.

After the screen, Qin Warun smiled slightly with cold eyes. Countess Yong came here today to inquire about this as she expected!

The incident was definitely related to Countess Yong. She just didn’t expect that Countess Yong had so superb means that she hadn’t been tracked down up to now.

It seemed that Duke Yong’s Mansion was not exactly as decadent as it looked.

“Wanru was almost seriously injured that day. She didn’t expect to have such an accident and almost… Our Madam Dowager intends to take Wanru to worship the bodhisattva after she gets better!” Shui Ruolan sighed with real panic in her eyes.

Shui Ruolan and Madam Dowager knew the accident after it happened. After knowing it, Madam Dowager and she almost passed out. If it were not for being rescued by Prince Chen, Qin Wanru would be killed at the gate of the palace.

At the thought of it, Madam Dowager and Shui Ruolan were terribly frightened. The news that came later even indicated that it was a deployment targeted at Prince Chen and Qin Wanru was involved in the trouble. But for whatever reason, it was the truth that Qin Wanru almost got killed.

In the end, Madam Dowager kept Qin Wanru in the inner court and didn’t allow her to go out. Even if she wanted to see her own shop, Madam Dowager did not allow her.

“What the hell is going on here? Why was Second Miss involved in it?” Countess Yong asked carefully, and her face changed.

In fact, she was really curious, but found nowhere to inquire about it. If the trap they set for Qin Wanru was involved in the incident of Prince Chen being assassinated, it was a crime grave enough to confiscate her property and exterminate her family.

Fortunately, Madam of Duke Xing told her to keep out of harm by discretion and stay out of it. So she made a scout, whom she had deployed for years, take the blame. She originally thought that it was not a big deal, and just made use of a scout. Even if Qin Wanru was seriously injured or killed, so what? Qin Wanru was not among the noblest ladies in the capital. They just needed to report that a horse of Prince Zhou’s Mansion was agitated and accidentally hit Qin Wanru. Could there be anyone who would confront Prince Zhou for Qin Wanru!

However, the incident became so significant. No one expected that Qin Wanru was only an imaginary target and Prince Chen was the real target. It made the initiator Countess Yong lose her presence of mind. Why didn’t she know the incident of trapping Prince Chen? Could it be that the groom had turned to another master and played a set of interlocking stratagems targeted at her stratagem?

Because of this, Countess Yong was having a bad time in her mansion. She had been rebuked by Duke Yong, and even the Old Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion gave her a slap in the presence of everyone. Thinking of this, she seemed to feel faint pain on her face and gnashed her teeth secretly. The old b*tch only cared about her daughter without thinking what kind of person her daughter was.

“Madam, it’s a frame-up!” Shui Ruolan looked around and turned her head to say in a low voice.

Countess Yong was shocked and asked anxiously, “What do you mean?”

Behind the screen, Qin Wanru raised her red lips with cold and enchanting eyes…
