Medical Princess

Chapter 68 Interference by Prince’s Madam

“Qing Yue, go to invite Aunt Shui. Don’t disturb my grandmother. She’s not good enough to withstand such a thing!” Qin Wanru lowered her eyebrows, looked very sad, whispered to Qing Yue.

She looked thin and small, except for a bit fleshy face. As she lowered her head, her long eyelashes drooped, casting uneven shadows on her pink and white face, which was beautiful and heartrending.

And what she said was very sensible. She didn’t complain to her grandmother, because she was afraid that her grandmother could not stand it.

She was filial and well-behaved. Inconceivably, there were still people who were so viciously dealing with such a girl. Everyone stood by Qin Wanru.

Shui Ruolan came very quickly as sweat trickled down her forehead.

She ran into the crowd and looked Qin Wanru up and down. When she found Qin Wanru safe and sound, she was relieved and reached out to hug Qin Wanru. She touched her hair as she said pacifically, “Wanru, it’s over. Everything’s gonna be fine. You can live with me later. I’ll protect you!”

As she was hugged by Shui Ruolan, Qin Wanru’s eyes suddenly overflowed with tears. However, she still did not cry, but with tears rolling in her big black eyes. At sight of this, the elderly women who were present were distressed.

Pathetically, her natural mother had died when she was at such a young age. However, she was framed by her current adoptive mother. It could be described as miserable.

“Aunt Shui, I... I will be with you later, with my grandmother!” Qin Wanru bit her dark red lip as she whispered.

Nobody saw a flicker of indifference in her eyes. Since Madam Di left a foothold for her, she would not let it go. Madam Di had pinpointed her father and she could not handle Shui Ruolan for a while. Therefore, Madam Di would make some troubles. She had to catch her off guard.

She wanted Aunt Shui to enter into General’s Mansion aboveboard, without hearing any gossip.

“Yes... Wanru lives with your grandmother. Your grandmother and Aunt Shui will protect you.” Shui Ruolan worried about it and continued to appease her. She really loved Qin Wanru. Hearing something happened to her, she immediately ran over here.

“Aunt Shui, can you marry my father, even for Wanru’s sake... I want to follow you.” Qin Wanru looked up, with her eyes full of tears. She was both aggrieved and pitiful.

Her words surprised all the people. Obviously, the words meant more than she said.

Shui Ruolan never thought that Qin Wanru would say this at this time, her face stiffened. When she saw Qin Wan’s expecting eyesight, she reached out and touched her head. For a time, she did not know how to reply.

Qin Wanru gently pushed Shui Ruolan away, went down on her knees, stretched out to hold Shui Ruolan’s skirt. She implored with mornful eyes, “Aunt Shui, my mother framed up you and my father. If you really become a nun, what are my grandmother and I supposed to do? Please marry my father!”

Everyone was stunned, looking at each other in speechless despair. There was so much information. They were shocked and could not come back to earth for a long time.

The general’s wife did not only frame up Second Miss, but also Miss Shui who lived in the General’s Mansion. If this was said by another person, everyone would not believe it. But now Qin Wanru had a narrow escape from death, so it was justified that such a young girl said such words in the panic.

Everyone consciously had this idea.

Being intimidated by the man in black, even if she held on firmly despite extreme adversity, she was still a small child. When she saw her elders who were nice to her, she immediately found a reliance, and some words burst out.

Shui Ruolan was very shy with her face turned red. She stretched her hand to pull Qin Wanru up and rebuked her in a low voice. “Wanru, you... a little kid, why did you say that?”

“Aunt Shui, you promised to protect me!” Although Qin Wanru had been pulled up, she stared at Shui Ruolan with a childish insistence in her eyes.

“I... I...” Shui Ruolan didn’t know how to answer. She was not perfectly justiable in General’s Mansion, thus, she could not protect Qin Wanru.

“Aunt Shui, I’ll talk to my father and ask his permission.” Qin Wanru stop embarrassing Shui Ruolan as she wiped her tears, but she said firmly. “Aunt Shui, ask someone to take the coachman to my father.”

“Well, I’ll take him down the mountain to your father!” As long as Qin Wanru did not say words to make her shy, Shui Ruolan will give Qin Wanru her promise on everything.

Although she had known a little bit of Qin Wanru’s meaning, she was really unable to act impartially.

“Aunt Shui, can you guarantee that this person will not be taken away by my mother when he is taken down the mountain?” Qin Wanru was not at ease, and reached out to tug at her sleeves.

“Er...” Shui Ruolan hesitated. She could not guarantee that Madam Di would not play tricks because Madam Di was not stupid.

“So... what should I do?” Qin Wan was helpless, and tugged at the sleeves of Shui Ruolan. They looked very alone and unprotected. In the General’s Mansion, they must have a hard time, because they even could not handle a servant.

One was too young while the other had no status. Everyone present could not help but sigh. They thought that they were pitiful.

The coachman who was kneeling on the ground also heard their words, his face lit up with complacency. The madam would have arranged people at the foot of the mountain to save him. Second Miss’s words would be fake for lack of evidence.

“Let me send someone to take him to Ningyuan Army General!” Someone in the crowd suddenly said. Everyone looked back and found out that it was actually the 30-years-old lady.

She was the temporary owner of this yard.

Qin Wanru gently pushed Shui Ruolan. Shui Ruolan immediately made a respectful bow. “Madam, can I ask who you are?”

“My husband’s family name is Luo, and my family name is Xin. You have to call me Mrs. Xin. As a matter of fact, my daughter almost get burnt. Since this person is the coachman of Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion, it is necessary for Ningyuan Army General to give us an explanation. Come, send this man to the Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion, and offer my name card. If someone wants to take him away halfway, you should beat them away directly.”

At the thought of her daughter almost having an accident, Mrs. Xin darkened her face and said harshly.

“Yes, Madam!” An old woman walked out of the crowd and bowed to Mrs. Xin. She waved to the two stout old women. At her commanding, they pulled up the coachman. Then, four other old women come over and stood behind them.

At sight of this, the coachman was panic. “Hey, Jiangzhou is a legal place. What do you want to do...”

He had not finished his words yet. An old woman came over and blocked his mouth with a handkerchief. The two old women put forth their strength, and the stalwart man was immediately pulled down.

They were proficent in action. No ordinary households could train such servants.

Qin Wanru looked up and set her eyes on the lady. She knew who the lady was.

In her previous life, she had never seen but heard this princess. The family name, Xin, was rare. Such a person Qin Wanru knew in the last life was Duke Yangqu’s eldest son’s wife.

The princess’s parents’ home was a family of military officers, so she was more straightfoward than ordinary ladies. The reason why Qin Wanru remembered so clear was due to the princess’s daughter. She involuntarily looked at a young madam who was sobbing. She should be Mrs. Xin’s daughter Luo Xiaowan.

Mrs. Xin herself was strong, but she had a weak daughter. Miss Luo was gentle, but she was tortured by her cruel husband. She was badly ill but she dared not to tell her mother.

Later, Mrs. Xin doubted and sent someone to look into the matter. As a result, she was so raged that she made a scene in Luo Xiaowan’s husband’s family. She gave him a few slaps, and forced him to sign divorce deal on the spot.

With her daughter and dowry, she returned to Duke Yangqu’s Mansion overnight.

This incident trigerred considerable controversial. Some people said that Mrs. Xin was overbearing and rude. The other people said that Mrs. Xin loved her daughter earnestly.

This matter spred over the capital city. Even some people presented memorial to the throne to accuse Duke Yangqu. Mrs. Xin was also summoned to the Queen’s palace.

This matter ended up with nothing definite. However, it had provoked much discussion. Qin Wanru, who was in the boudoir, heard many rumors about Mrs. Xin.

Unexpectedly, she could encounter Mrs. Xin in Jiangzhou. With this decisive and straightforward Mrs. Xin’s help, Madam Di could not escape this time.

“Thank you, Mrs. Xin.” Shui Ruolan did not know who this lady was, but she was not stupid and also saw that Mrs. Xin’s extraordinary behaior. Seeing that she voluntarily handled this matter, she heaved a sigh of relief.

If nobody was willing to deal with this matter, she had to trouble with Nanny Duan, who was the dowager’s servant. She and Qin Wanru had the same idea that try not to let the dowager know. She was in poor health and could not stand too many things. If Nanny Duan knew it, the dowager would know.

The coachman was taken away. The crowds went away. Shui Ruolan pulled Qin Wanru’s hand and wanted to retire, but she was left by Mrs. Xin.

“Miss Shui, can you come in and talk?”

Shui Ruolan was very grateful to Mrs. Xin. Hearing that, she immediately nodded and let Qin Wanru go. “Wanru, you go back first. I’ll talk to Mrs. Xin.”

“Second Miss Qin don’t leave either. Can you talk with Xiaowan?” Mrs. Xin’s eyes fell on Qin Wanru, who looked smaller than her daughter. However, Mrs. Xin appreciated her very much. “This child is very popular. She is different from ordinary people.”

She originally wanted to nurture her daughter to be magnanimous. However, her daughter was too gentle, so that Mrs. Xin sighed with emotion.

This made her appreciate Qin Wanru more and more!
