Medical Princess

Chapter 927 The Mercenary Wei Dahai

The carriage slowly passed in front of Zhao Xiran. Through the screen window, Shao Wanru noticed her absent-mindedness.

“Princess, do you want the Young Madam to dig something out?” Yujie remembered what Shao Wanru had said just now and couldn’t help asking.

“She also wants to dig something out!” Shao Wanru said and twitched the corners of her mouth. “She may not find out anything about me, but now she is the person that is the most likely to find out something in Marquis Xing’s Mansion!”

These words were a little difficult to understand, but the two servant girls were also smart. They immediately knew that at present, the most useful person in Marquis Xing’s Mansion was indeed the Young Madam who had just married into the mansion.

First of all, this Young Madam was also a smart person. Besides, it seemed that she married into Marquis Xing’s Mansion for a special purpose.

“Princess, what is the Young Madam trying to find out?” Qu Le asked curiously. The sourcᴇ of this content is novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt - novelenglish.net . bin

“I don’t know, but it’s good to have her on our side!” Shao Wanru said meaningfully. Now that she was married, it was not appropriate for Shao Wanru to pay too much attention to the affairs of Marquis Xing’s Mansion. If Zhao Xiran stirred up trouble in it, it would be more convenient for Shao Wanru to investigate it by herself.

She also had some speculations about Zhao Xiran. But no matter what, Zhao Xiran shared the same position with her. She was definitely unwilling to have her mother-in-law come back to keep an eye on her all the time, especially when this mother-in-law was very difficult to get along with.

Shao Wanru would not let Madam Jiang go out of the Yuhui Nunnery again unless it was necessary...

The carriage went out of Marquis Xing’s Mansion, turned a corner, went to the street, and stopped at a tea house on the opposite side of Butterfly Clothing Shop. Shao Wanru got off the carriage with a curtain hat. She took a glance at Butterfly Clothing Shop on the opposite side, but did not go in. She turned around and went into the tea house. Qu Le went in with Shao Wanru to serve her. Yujie did not go in but went to the opposite Butterfly Clothing Shop.

They went to the second floor and ordered a private room near the window. Shao Wanru took off her curtain hat and sat down. Qu Le went to order some fruits and snacks.

The location of this window was perfect, and she could see Butterfly Clothing Shop across the street and could see clearly that several sneaky people had been peeking at Butterfly Clothing Shop. Shao Wanru had intended to go directly to Butterfly Clothing Shop just now, but when she saw these people, she turned around and went to the tea house.

Madame Dong came out of Butterfly Clothing Shop in a hurry, looked coldly at those sneaky people at the door, and then crossed the street and went straight to the second floor while wearing a cold face.

Those sneaky people seemed to want to follow her and moved their steps, but they eventually stopped and looked up at the tea house.

Out of scruples, they didn’t come over straightly. Shao Wanru looked downstairs thoughtfully.

There was a knock on the door. Qu Le went over and opened the door and saw Madame Dong with a cold and angry face.

When they went into the private room, Madame Dong mollified her facial expression.

“Princess!” she said.

“Sit down first. Are you targeted?” Shao Wanru turned around and asked with a smile.

Madame Dong nodded. After sitting down opposite Shao Wanru, she said angrily, ” Princess, I have never seen such a person. He had the nerves to ask me to be his mistress. I had left this ungrateful person in the past; how could he think that I want to be with him now?”

Thinking of what the man said, Madame Dong felt even more disgusted. Wei Dahai thought that she had always been obsessed with him and that even being a mistress was what she ever wanted. How could he be so shameless? He even said that for so many years, he had always treasured her in his heart. She had never seen such a disgusting person like him.

“Wei Dahai is now a moderate official with some real power in the imperial court. I heard that he is not ordinary now!” Shao Wanru said with a faint smile.

“No matter how extraordinary he is, he is not in my league!” Madame Dong said with hatred.

She deeply regretted that she had been blind in the past and thought Wei Dahai was a good person. Moreover, when she was in Jiangzhou, she had even tried to find Wei Dahai to ask him to treat her daughter’s leg injury and save her daughter. How blind she had been! She could not entangle him anymore.

Shao Wanru picked up the teacup at hand, took a sip, and said, “He found his aunt. I heard that she is related to him by blood so they are very close. His aunt is Nanny Wei, who is the right-hand woman of the Empress Dowager. Even though he is not a high-ranking official now, many people do not dare to offend him!”

Shao Wanru asked Qing’er to investigate it. Of course, part of this information came from Chu Liuchen. Otherwise, how could Qing’er find out this kind of information?

“A servant of the Empress Dowager?” Madame Dong said. Her expression changed.

“Yes, Nanny Wei is the Empress Dowager’s personal servant. Nanny Wei has a lot of power in the Palace of Benevolent Peace, and the Empress Dowager also listens to her and values her very much!” Shao Wanru said meaningfully, “By chance, Nanny Wei met Lord Wei Dahai and they talked about something. Then they knew that they are not only from the same province but also relatives. Lord Wei’s father is Nanny Wei’s elder brother or cousin!”

“Aunt?” Madame Dong frowned.

“It should be like this,” Shao Wanru nodded and said.

“When I was with Wei Dahai in the past, he said that he came to the capital city to find his aunt, but he never found her. I didn’t know if he was telling the truth or not, but now he actually found her! No wonder he dared to ask me to be his mistress with his current official position,” Madame Dong said with disdain. She really felt that this matter was a little complex!

“With Nanny Wei, he has gained a foothold in front of Empress Dowager. Lord Wei’s recent official career is modest, but no one dares to target him. He is actually living a very good life! I heard that he has connected with Commandery Prince Qing now and getting better and better!” Shao Wanru said softly with a smile.

The result of these investigations really shocked her. She didn’t expect that these matters would end up related.

“He has connected with Commandery Prince Qing?” Madame Dong really didn’t expect that there were so many windings in it. Suddenly, she thought of something, and her face changed. “Does he think that I own this shop?”

“It’s very likely!” Shao Wanru smiled slightly and said leisurely, “I seldom show up, especially in the past three years. I’ve basically been in the Yuhui Nunnery on the mountain and have never gone down the mountain. Even Yujie and Qu Le, who live with me, rarely went down the mountain. But you have been to the Yuhui Nunnery to make a pilgrimage several times. However, there are many women who go to the Yuhui Nunnery to make a pilgrimage. You are not eye-catching!”

“So, he wants me to be his mistress just because of this shop?” Madame Dong’s face turned blue and then pale. In the end, she was so angry that she almost wanted to find Wei Dahai immediately and make it clear to him.

“From what you said, you wanted to open a shop named Butterfly Clothing Shop at the beginning. But it didn’t work out, then you left. Now you have a shop named Butterfly Clothing Shop. After a thorough investigation, he found that you have been alone since you came to the capital city with no master behind you. You said you have a master, but when others hear it, they are not sure whether you have a master or not. Maybe you just want to spread this word and make people think that you have a master,” Shao Wanru analyzed with a smile.

These words were all relatable to the recent doubts in Madame Dong’s mind. She always felt that Wei Dahai was not such an affectionate person. Moreover, after so many years, she was no longer young and beautiful. It was impossible that Wei Dahai still considered her attractive. Besides, she only had a daughter named Xiu’er. Wei Dahai had his own children. How could he aim at Xiu’er?

But now, Madame Dong had thought everything through. If it wasn’t for the fact that he wanted something from her, Wei Dahai wouldn’t have taken a fancy to her and even sent people to keep an eye on her.

Although Madame Dong had no expectations for Wei Dahai, she still despised him. She was so angry that she trembled, and her face went pale.

“Madame Dong, don’t be angry. Wei Dahai has no good intentions. He wants you to become a mistress after he swallows your property! However, he doesn’t dare to do such a thing openly,” Shao Wanru said.

Shao Wanru reached out and pointed to several people below the window. Those people did not leave. They were still staring at the tea house. Obviously, they were still spying on Madame Dong.

“Princess, he is so mercenary!” Madame Dong also saw several people below and said angrily.

“He should be lacking money!” Shao Wanru said vaguely with a smile. There were some things that Madame Dong didn’t need to know. The more she knew, the worse it would be for her.

She only needed to be a simple shopkeeper!

If it weren’t for such a coincidence, she would think that this kind of thing had nothing to do with her. The twists and turns revealed an unpredictable fate.

This matter was so complex. Shao Wanru had thought that the two of them would have nothing to do with each other in the future, but they were still related. Shao Wanru was surprised and thought of a lot of things, especially because it involved Commandery Prince Qing!

At least, what had happened in the Yuhui Nunnery was not without reason!

If she were just an ordinary Miss from an aristocratic family, this complex matter would have nothing to do with her. But she was not only a Miss from Marquis Xing’s Mansion, but also the Princess Chen now!

“He is such an asshole!” Madame Dong scolded him with hatred, and then looked at Shao Wanru with burning eyes, “Princess, what should I do now?”

Since the Princess had intervened, it meant that she would take over this matter. Madame Dong felt relieved about this. With the princess on her side, no matter who was behind Wei Dahai or what kind of plot he had against her, it would definitely be cracked.

Madame Dong had huge confidence in Shao Wanru.

“Now that he doesn’t want to make a big deal of it, does Madame Dong dare to make a big deal of it?” Shao Wanru raised the corners of her mouth slightly and her eyes darkened a little. There was a cold smile and a bone-piercing chill on her beautiful face, which made her look no longer like a delicate flower in a greenhouse.

“Yes, I do, Princess. Why not? Anyway, I don’t intend to marry him. Xiu’er is living a good life now. I don’t want to let her know that she has such a shameless and lawless father!” Madame Dong gritted her teeth and stuck out her chest decisively. She was not afraid of making a big deal out of it!

She was a widow on her own now, and she had no intentions in the future. Why would she be afraid?
