Medical Princess

Chapter 611 One of Them Says and Shows Her True Features, While the Other One Hears Outside!

Shao Yanru’s face turned cold, and Shuqi took two steps forward to stand in front of her, glared at Qu Le and Yujie, and rebuked, “What are you talking about? Apologize to the First Miss now. Don’t you know how much the First Miss cares for the Fifth Miss? The First Miss specially went up the mountain to accompany the Fifth Miss for fear that the Fifth Miss would feel lonely. What’s more, why did you come down the mountain?”

Qu Le and Yujie exchanged glances and hesitated.

Yujie said, “It’s said that Old Madam Qin is sick and wants to meet our master. If she refuses to do that, she will be considered ungrateful!”

“Yeah, the affairs of the Qin’s Mansion have nothing to do with the First Miss. She has no idea of what has happened in the Qin’s Mansion. If there’s anyone knowing it, the one must be a member of the Qin’s Mansion. Think about whom your master has offended in the Qin’s Mansion before so that the one set up such a trap for your master. Moreover, the one must be familiar with the Fifth Miss’s character and the affairs of the Qin’s Mansion!”

Shuqi reminded them.

Qu Le hesitated for a long while and asked, “The First Miss Qin?”

“Who else could it be other than her? She’s the one satisfying the requirements!” Shuqi said angrily, “The First Miss has always cared for the Fifth Miss and been kind to her. How could she set up such a deadly trap for the Fifth Miss?”

Her words sounded reasonable. Shao Wanru, who was lying still on the bed, sneered in her heart. It was Shuqi who said those words, and whatever Shuqi said and whoever Shuqi suggested was behind the plot had nothing to do with Shao Yanru, who remained the gentle and kind First Miss Shao. Even if someone considered Shuqi crossed the line, she was just a maid.

No one would do anything to a maid intending to protect her master!

Shao Yanru had a good maid indeed, but it would not be so easy for her to get out of the predicament today.

Sheer force destroys all strategies. Although Shao Yanru was sharp-witted and scheming enough to handle all kinds of situations, she wouldn’t be able to deal with Qin Yuru, who was furious and rash.

She couldn’t get Shao Yanru involved in what had happened before with only a few words of Qing’er, who went “crazy” at that time, because few people would believe the words of a crazy maid. Nevertheless, she deliberately spread more rumors about Shao Yanru. As expected, Shao Yanru couldn’t stand watching anymore!

Despite her closed eyes, she could hear clearly that Qin Yuru had been led to the outer room...

“Is it really the First Miss Qin? But... it has been so many years, and the First Miss Qin is now the Young Madam of Duke Yong and has nothing to do with our master. Why did she do this to our master?” Qu Le said and looked at Yujie in confusion as if intending to seek support.

Yujie was also at a loss. She looked at Qu Le and then at Shuqi, and finally looked at Shao Yanru and asked in a trembling voice, “First Miss, does it really have nothing to do with you?”

“Of course, it has nothing to do with me. My Fifth Sister and I are as close as biological sisters. I know my Fifth Sister has suffered a lot of hardships in the Qin’s Mansion. If Qin Yuru is really the one behind it, I can promise my Fifth Sister that I will not spare her despite her identity as the Young Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion!”

Shao Yanru said firmly with a calm look and impressive bearing, which made her look reassuring. Although she was not taking an oath, they could feel her sincerity.

“First Miss, but... but the First Miss Qin is now Young Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion. I’m afraid you might be unable to deal with her!” Qu Le, who seemed to be convinced by her words, stammered and said uneasily.

Seeing that the two maids had been convinced by her words, Shao Yanru felt complacent, while comforting the two maids with a gentle smile, “Rest assured. Although she’s Young Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion, I won’t allow her to bully the Miss of our Duke Xing’s Mansion. Moreover, if my Fifth Sister got killed, even Duke Yong’s Mansion couldn’t afford to bear the blame, not to mention her!”

“Exactly. Duke Yong’s Mansion is just a declining family. What makes them think so highly of themselves?” Shuqi curled her lip and said with disdain.

In the outer room, Qin Yuru clenched her fists, gnashed her teeth, and forced herself to continue listening. The old maid leading them here had left, leaving her and her maid Mei Xue in the outer room.

Mei Xue was so frightened that her face turned pale, while she was so angry that her face turned livid.

What her grandma said was true. Shao Yanru had evil intentions. When Shao Wanru was still in the Qin’s Mansion, Shao Yanru had met her in private. Shao Yanru seemed to be very nice to her, but actually suggested that she should deal with Shao Wanru and she could get what she wanted after doing that.

Of course, it was Shao Yanru’s maid rather than Shao Yanru who said those words. Meanwhile, Shao Yanru just listened quietly with a smile beside them, as if all of these things had nothing to do with her!

As she expected, it was this vicious lady who stirred up trouble behind the scenes!

If Shao Yanru hadn’t provoked Qi Rongzhi to meet her, she wouldn’t have trapped Shao Wanru at this time. Her grandma had told her that if something really happened to Shao Wanru, she would be in great trouble. Moreover, the whole of Duke Yong’s Mansion would be implicated. This was an important reason why Qin Yuru came repeatedly in an attempt to check on Shao Wanru’s health status.

Even if it was an accident, Great Elder Princess would not let go of Duke Yong’s Mansion.

Qin Yuru had looked forward to a bright future in Duke Yong’s Mansion before marrying into Duke Yong’s Mansion. However, she found that she now lived a life worse than she did in the Qin’s Mansion before.

She employed all available means to marry into Duke Yong’s Mansion, only to find that she lived an increasingly terrible life. Apart from little spending money, she could say nothing about Di Yan’s taking one and another concubine due to her terrible reputation. All of these made her harbor profound hatred.

Instead of taking her side, her mother-in-law kept defending Di Yan by saying that they allowed her to marry into their mansion for the sake of Old Madam of their mansion. Besides, her mother-in-law told her to behave well as Young Madam, otherwise, she might even lose the title of Young Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion.

During the past two years, Qin Yuru had lived an extremely depressing life. Although she turned to her grandma, who had always doted on her, to complain about what Di Yan had done, her grandma only asked her to make concessions. Only then did she realize that the one her grandma cared for the most was Di Yan rather than her and her grandma felt deeply guilty about making Di Yan marry her.

Her grandma agreed with Di Yan to take concubines every time he mentioned it in order to make it up to Di Yan.

Hearing Qi Rongzhi’s words, she, who had lived a miserable life in Duke Yong’s Mansion, was convinced that even if something happened to Shao Wanru, it would be considered an accident and she wouldn’t get involved in it. Now after being reminded by her grandma, she realized that if the blame was shifted onto her, Duke Yong’s Mansion would definitely not defend her and she would probably live a more miserable life.

She couldn’t get involved in it!

Absolutely not! She clenched her sleeves with her fingers in a jerky way and continued listening to the conversation inside, thinking that she must find out Shao Yanru’s fault and shift the blame onto Shao Yanru. It Shao Yanru who instigated her to do this. Why could Shao Yanru pretend to be a kind elder sister in the room while she was going to be stepped into the mud?

It was the first time that Qin Yuru had realized that she and Shao Wanru were no longer a couple of sisters of the same status as before. At that time, even if anything happened to Shao Wanru, she could cover it up. But her previous schemes wouldn’t work now. Shao Wanru was the granddaughter of Great Elder Princess, while she was too humble to compare with Shao Wanru.

If anything happened to Shao Wanru, she would probably have to pay for it with her life!

She was not reconciled to the result and unwilling to give in!

“First Miss, are you really willing to avenge my master?” Yujie said tearfully and looked at Shao Yanru with strong emotions.

“Of course, I am willing to do that. No matter how Young Madam of Duke Yong defends herself, I will definitely make her pay for it!” Shao Yanru said.

There were only her, Shuqi, and Shao Wanru’s two maids in the room, so she naturally blurted it out. Nevertheless, these words wouldn’t go out, or even if they went out, she could deny that. How could the two maids convince others that she had said that?

At this moment, she had to gain the trust of the two maids so that she could feel Shao Wanru’s pulse and confirm Shao Wanru’s health status.

Shao Yanru had read a lot of books about various aspects, so she knew some basic knowledge of feeling the pulse. Although she might not necessarily be able to find out the cause of the illness, she could tell whether Shao Wanru was seriously injured.

“First Miss...” Qu Le seemed to want to say something, but Shuqi interrupted her impatiently, “Why do you keep asking? My master is worried about Fifth Miss. Rest assured, the First Miss will definitely make Young Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion, who trapped the First Miss, to pay for it.”

“Really?” Yujie asked, pleasantly surprised. She looked at Shao Yanru without looking at Shuqi, as if begging Shao Yanru to promise her again.

“Of course. I will seek justice and make Duke Yong’s Mansion pay for it even if I have to use all power and connections of Duke Xing’s Mansion! Rest assured!” Shao Yanru had to promise again. Seeing the two maids look unconvinced, she said firmly.

“Thank you, First Miss!” The two maids said, looked at each other, and bowed deeply to Shao Yanru with strong emotions.

“You don’t need to thank me. Your master is my Fifth Sister as well as the Fifth Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion. How can a humble Young Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion compare with her?” Shao Yanru rarely said such mean words, especially in front of others. But now in order to get the trust of the two maids, she just blurted it out.

Shuqi had always been good at cooperating with Shao Yanru. When Shao Yanru expressed ten or twenty percent of her real thought, Shuqi would say fifty or sixty percent. Now since Shao Yanru had expressed fifty or sixty percent of her real thought, Shuqi could say it all.

On hearing Shao Yanru’s words, Shuqi immediately nodded and added, “The Young Madam of Duke Xing is shameless. How could she do that? Not only did she seduce Prince Cheng, but she also dared to come to our mansion to claim her identity as the Fifth Miss after being refused by Prince Cheng. She just has never realized what a b*tch she is! Now she dared to trap the Fifth Miss. She is so despicable and vicious. After returning to our mansion, my master will definitely ask our Old Madam to send someone to the Ministry of Justice. We will seize this despicable and vicious lady, send her to the Ministry of Justice and ask them to lead her through the streets for a shame parade and behead her!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the inner room was kicked open...
