Medical Princess

Chapter 453 An Old Acquaintance Who Masqueraded as Shao Wanru?

The elders were also not good-for-nothings. Soon, they caught the woman who had a secret date with Wang Shengxue.

Looking at this woman's face, Shao Wanru felt that it was really a joke. The beautiful servant girl in front of her was actually the personal servant girl of Ning Xueqing, who was related to Wang Shengxue in her last life and in this life. She seemed to be called Dong Xing.

In her last life, the servant girl named Dong Xing and Ning Xueqing knelt on the ground in the hall of Duke Xing's Mansion. They cried in front of all the guests and told them about the affection between her Miss and Wang Shengxue. They were so close that they would fight for each other's sake. However, Shao Wanru was so vicious because she liked Wang Shengxue and came up with a plan to separate them.

Originally, the lovers would eventually be married to each other. But now, it turned into her ruining their marriage. Obviously, the two of them were in love with each other, and the two families had agreed to their marriage, but she had ruined it.

For a woman like her who had destroyed her Big Sister's marriage, and now came to destroy other people's marriage, her heart was malicious. With the act put on by Ning Xueqing and her servant, her reputation naturally became worse.

Today, the servant girl named Dong Xing knelt again in the hall of the Duke Xing's Mansion. But her situation was completely different from that of hers in the previous life. She was shivering and her face was pale. She was trembling violently. The clothes she wore were the same as Shao Wanru's and they were dripping with water. Even though someone had thrown a blanket to her, she still shivered because of the intense cold.

In the middle of the lobby sat Rui'an Great Elder Princess and the host was Duke Xing. The elders were sitting on both sides and Madam of Duke Xing was sitting behind Duke Xing. At this time, she and Dong Xing were in a similar situation. Her face was also pale and her body was trembling.

Of course, her current state was not because she was cold, but because she had an intense heart ache.

Shao Wanru witnessed that a good part of the yard had burned down. What was left were things that could not be burned. It was really clean. Chu Liuchen's kerosene was really good. It was definitely not the kind of kerosene that could be easily bought outside. In this respect, Duke Xing's Mansion had only themselves to be blamed.

Although they could not buy it outside, it did not mean that Duke Xing's Mansion did not have it.

Shao Wanru was sitting next to Rui'an Great Elder Princess. Rui'an Great Elder Princess felt sorry for her granddaughter and she let her lean against her. Feeling Shao Wanru's thin body, Rui'an Great Elder Princess's face became more and more livid, and her cold eyes fell on the couple who were kneeling.

Not only was Dong Xing there, but Wang Shengxue was there too.

However, she did not speak. At this time, she listened. Before she had enough evidence, she did not want to speak out first.

"What the hell is going on between you two?" After hearing what the elders said and looking at the couple kneeling before him, Duke Xing's face turned green with anger, and he banged the table and shouted angrily.

"Second Uncle, I... I..." Wang Shengxue was in a panic. He did not know how things had changed so much. It was Shao Wanru who should be questioned. It was also Shao Wanru who should have been caught by others. Why was Dong Xing caught instead? Why did Shao Wanru's yard catch fire so coincidentally? Should it not be the time for her to bathe and change her clothes?

As long as she changed her clothes, he could say whatever he wanted.

However, the fire started and Dong Xing did not dare to go to the yard. She turned to another direction and found a random place to hide. She wanted to dry herself before she ran out to see what was going on. She did not expect that she would be caught and Shao Wanru escaped from the fire in the same clothes.

Two sets of clothes, one dry and the other wet, were exactly the same. It was very obvious!

"Who is this?" Duke Xing suppressed his anger and asked.

"I... I don't know..." Wang Shengxue stammered and said this subconsciously. All he wanted to do now was to distance himself from Dong Xing.

"She does not belong to our mansion!" Nanny Sheng's voice coming out behind Madam of Duke Xing, confirmed this fact.

The reason why she dared to say so was because this incident had indeed not been arranged by her. Or it could be said that this woman was not someone she had arranged to do the deed. She only asked Wang Shengxue to find a woman to pretend to be Shao Wanru. But it should not be a person from Duke Xing's Mansion. As for who the woman was, it was up to Wang Shengxue.

The girl was brought in by Wang Shengxue, so the accident had nothing to do with Duke Xing's Mansion.

"Who are you? If you don't tell us who you are, we will send you to the government for the crime of stealing and setting the place on fire." Duke Xing said coldly. His round face became longer at this time and held a trace of maliciousness. He looked very scary.

The elders looked at each other and did not dare to speak for a while.

Duke Xing was obviously really angry.

"When I passed by your mansion today, I saw that it was very noisy, so I sneaked in to take a look. I did not intend to do anything. After dinner, I walked around casually and met this childe. I did not expect that he would stop and kiss me when he saw me. After I was discovered, I jumped into the lake and tried to escape. I really don't know anything. Please let me go!"

Dong Xing burst into tears. If she was sent to the government with these two accusations, she would really lose her life!

"You just happened to be passing by and sneaked into the mansion? Then you met Shengxue when you were walking around?" Duke Xing repeated what she said with a gloomy face.

"Shengxue, who did you think she was? Why did you block a woman you did not know without thinking?" Madam of Duke Xing reacted quickly and asked him sharply, wiping away the tears in her distressed eyes.

Who did he take this woman for?

Everyone with eyes could see that Shao Wanru's dress was the same as the woman's. They were embroidered in the same way, was of the same color and even the details were exactly the same. The two sets of clothes were identical.

If he treated this woman as someone else, there could be no one else other than Shao Wanru. Could it be that Wang Shengxue had been waiting for Fifth Miss Shao at that time?

After thinking about it in this way, they felt that it seemed to make sense.

Although the elders dared not talk nonsense because Rui'an Great Elder Princess was here, they all whispered to each other.

Shao Wanru sneered in her heart. At this time, Madam of Duke Xing was still trying to slander her.

She raised her shimmery eyes and calmly looked at Madam of Duke Xing, “Second aunt, I know you don't like me, but you can't slander me like this. The clothes I wore were given by you, and the clothes I brought before were stained by your servants. Today, I had to wear the clothes you sent. There are many people who wear the same clothes in the world, but there must be only a few who can wear the same clothes like this and also in the Duke Xing's Mansion."

Today, she came here for the purpose of ruining their relationship.

She was still young. If she did not expose this matter today, she would be specifically pulled and manipulated from now on.

Today, it was better to make it a big scene. The bigger it was, the better it would be. So she was not really afraid that Madam of Duke Xing would slander her.

"Wanru, what are you talking about! The clothes you brought were wet. The servants who cleaned the courtyard thought these clothes were your Big Sister's!" Madam of Duke Xing was stunned by Shao Wanru's words. She never thought that an eleven-year-old child could speak in such a manner, especially after such a frightening experience. In particular, she brought up the matter about not being able to wear the clothes she brought with her.

That had been done flawlessly. How did Shao Wanru find out?

"They thought it was my Big Sister's. So they deliberately wet my clothes so that I don't have any clothes to wear. Can you tell me why there are two sets of the same clothes?"

Shao Wanru asked in an unhurried manner.

"Fifth Miss, I was the one who prepared those clothes. Madam said that we needed to prepare better clothes for you before, so I bought some clothes from the clothing shop based on my judgment. The two sets were very beautiful. Although they were the same, they were uncommon. I thought that you might like them, so I bought one more set. After I came back, I was scolded by Madam who said that you did not need two sets of the same clothes. So I put the other one in my room!"

Nanny Sheng took a step forward and said this.

Her words were flawless, so everything she said seemed to be just a misunderstanding!

Shao Wanru's lips curled as a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. If she did not know Dong Xing, she might have been deceived by the words. When she saw the elders nodding, she knew that they would listen to Nanny Sheng's words.

Although the elders could not compare with Duke Xing, so many people standing here were Duke Xing's biggest barrier!

"Since it is Nanny Sheng's fault, why did Second Aunt let childe Wang say that he thought this woman was someone else? Who else is wearing the same clothes in this room, except me? Second Aunt, if you want to say something, just say it clearly. Grandmother is sitting here. If Second Aunt is right, I am innocent even if I have to die for my guilt today."

Everyone was shocked by Shao Wanru's words. No one had expected Shao Wanru to be so fierce as to say such things in front of so many people. Furthermore, her expression was calm as if she was talking about something else. The elders hesitated for a moment and felt that Shao Wanru did not feel guilty.

Was it really arranged by Madam of Duke Xing?

But how could it be possible? Madam of Duke Xing was always gentle and dignified, and she treated her clansmen kindly. How could she do such a vicious thing?"

Madam of Duke Xing blushed and glared at Shao Wanru angrily.

How could she dare to say something like this? She just entered the mansion a few days ago. She even dared to say such resolute words in front of so many clan elders. She was not scared that in the end, she would not be able to find any evidence and would use her life to prove it!

She breathed deeply and held the rail of the chair with her trembling hands. Up to now, she had not recovered from the pain of the yard being burned.

"Wanru, Second Aunt said the wrong thing just now. I was misled by this girl and this matter will be investigated into. Don't worry!"

Her words were very gentle. Everyone could see that Madam of Duke Xing was in a bad situation. Even in such a situation, she could still appease Shao Wanru and admit that she had said something wrong. In any case, Madam of Duke Xing in front of them was worthy of respect. But this Fifth Miss, at a young age, had a bad attitude toward her elders.

"Thank you for your understanding, Second Aunt. Just now I almost thought that I was going to be burned to death in the house. I just found my own relatives, and I am going to be burned to death in it..."

Shao Wanru's eyes became red and her voice was choked with sobs. What happened earlier was indeed too dangerous. She was almost burned to death. Everyone could tell now that someone was trying to hurt her. After all, she was just an eleven-year-old girl.

Thinking of this, the elders felt that it was reasonable for her to blame Madam of Duke Xing directly. After all, she was only such a small girl.

She had the advantage of her youth. Shao Wanru could say something she wanted to now, but she could not say it three years later...
