Medical Princess

Chapter 968 Are You Used to Living Here?

“There are no other choices for you. You must go there today! Guards, come here and take him to Qin Yuru!” Grand Prince slammed the table heavily and snapped in a harsh voice.

It turned out that Qin Yuru was indeed a descendant of his family. Even though she committed such a heinous crime, Grand Prince’s Mansion had to send someone to visit her. Otherwise, they would become even more mean and malevolent in others’ eyes.

Two guards came in and reached out to pull Chu Huairan.

“Okay, fine! I’ll go! Get your hands off me. My clothes are new. You’ll have to pay for it if they are wrinkled!” Chu Huairan stood up resentfully and pushed away the hands of the two guards. He rolled up his sleeves, looking at his father sitting up in high on the chair. “Let’s make it clear first. I’ll go away after seeing her, and that’ll be all. Don’t let anyone stop me from leaving. It will only bring more shame to our family!”

“Hurry up and leave!” Grand Prince suddenly felt another impulse to smash something.

“I’ll go. Who cares!” Chu Huairan muttered, turned around, and left. He got on the carriage and went to the Ministry of Justice.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Justice, he informed the court official of the Ministry of Justice, who then led him in. After that, he asked the official in charge of female prisons to bring Qin Yuru here.

Although Chu Huairan came here to visit a prisoner, he was not willing to go down to the cell. He felt that the bad luck down there would ruin his good fortune.

The court official had no choice but to bring Qin Yuru up here. Fortunately, he knew it clearly that Chu Huairan was never a capable man, and Qin Yuru did not commit the crime of rebellion. Thus, he didn’t have to stick to the rules.

Qin Yuru was taken to a small room. When she saw Chu Huairan sitting inside, her lifeless eyes immediately lit up, and she immediately knelt down with a thud. With tears in her eyes, she cried out, “Father!”

She had seen Chu Huairan in the Grand Prince’s Mansion.

Chu Huairan felt extremely loath to see Qin Yuru. However, when he saw her thin and haggard look, he inexplicably felt sorry for her as a father. He waved his hand and said, “You... get up and talk!”

“Father!” Qin Yuru put her head to the ground and cried sadly again. She could not even speak for her sobbing.

......

Chu Huairan turned around uneasily and said, “Get up, get up. Let’s talk about it when you stand up!”

“Yes, father!” answered Qin Yuru. She stood up, her eyes with excitement and vitality still fixed on him. Compared with the previous lifeless appearance, she looked much more pleasing to the eye now.

“Sit down!” Chu Huairan pointed to the stool beside her.

“Yes.” Qin Yuru sat down obediently, staring at Chu Huairan with her eyes, as if she loved her father dearly.

Chu Huairan coughed and asked casually, “Are you used to living here?”

He felt quite awkward as soon as he finished asking.

“Father, I... I am very well. I’m sorry that I brought shame on you!” Qin Yuru’s tears fell again. Without a handkerchief, she could only wipe her tears with her dirty clothes.

“What were you thinking back then? No matter how bad Madam Di was, she was your biological mother!” Chu Huairan snorted.

“Father, how... how could I really kill my mother? It’s just that... they wronged me. No matter how ruthless I am, I can’t really kill my mother!” Qin Yuru lowered her head, crying.

“You mean, it was Qin Huaiyong who plotted against you?” At this time, Chu Huairan reacted fast, and his face turned a little ugly. He didn’t care about Qin Yuru, but if Qin Huaiyong really did that, it would be a deliberate slap in his face.

The case was nothing serious, but it was known to almost everyone now, which made him a great fool, one way and another. If it was really Qin Huaiyong’s plot, he couldn’t let it go so easily.

Why should he be the one with a bad reputation while Qin Huaiyong got the sympathy of all?

Although Chu Huairan had never had a good reputation, he cared about it now.

“Father... I... I want to reunite with you and be your daughter. Maybe we could live happily together as a family in the future. Why would I kill my mother at that time? With her, wouldn’t my life be greater?” Qin Yuru explained sadly.

“Live happily together?” Chu Huairan thought that she was too naive. Even if Madam Di was still alive, he would not allow her to move into his mansion. He would never accept such a fierce and unreasonable woman, not to mention that Madam Di was the wife of Ningyuan Army General. Once she lived in his mansion, many beauties living there must be disturbed.

Of course, he would never speak his mind to Qin Yuru.

Chu Huairan coughed slightly and said, “do you have any evidence to prove that Qin Huaiyong framed up you?”

“Oh, that’s related to the Qin’s Mansion. How... how can I get the evidence? Even if there is, it’s long gone at this time!” Qin Yuru shook her head. Her eyes that brightened up when she saw her father were dimmed with grievance.

The longer he looked at her, the more pitiful she became in his eyes.

Chu Huairan didn’t have much father’s love for her, but he was irritated at this time. He was angry at Qin Huaiyong’s scheme. It must be that Qin Huaiyong schemed to murder Madam Di upon knowing that she had cheated on him.

He was originally a playboy without any real talent. Because of his high social status, he was surrounded by a group of people trying hard to please him. How could he understand those schemes and intrigues? Qin Yuru thought that Madam Di’s characters would block her way to huge success, so she simply took her life to get the pity of Grand Prince’s Mansion. That was why she killed Madam Di. But Chu Huairan would never figure it out.

“Wait for me here. I’ll let your grandfather check it out. We’ll definitely find out the truth!” Chu Huairan clapped his hands on the table with an aura of authority.

“Don’t go. It’s not a big deal. I mean it. That’s it. Anyway, I’m all alone now. It’s better for me to die. When I die, I can go to accompany my mother in the underworld. But I can’t do anything for you then...” Speaking of this, Qin Yuru sobbed.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Chu Huairan, as if she wanted to print his face on her heart. She wanted to remember her biological father in her heart and never forget him.

Looking at Qin Yuru like this, Chu Huairan inexplicably felt uncomfortable.

No matter what evil things she had done, she was still a member of the royal family. Qin Huaiyong was never allowed to harm her as he wished.

“Stay in this prison for a while. I’ll find someone to take care of you. As for the evidence, I’ll check it out. I’ll definitely save you after I find the truth!” Chu Huairan promised.

There was still a period of time before her execution in autumn. Chu Huairan felt that if she was innocent, his father was well capable of investigating the matter thoroughly.

“Don’t bother. I... Thanks for your kindness. Even if I die, I will be grateful to you!”

Tears poured down her face. She looked ashamed and painful, for she didn’t want her biological father to be in a dilemma. She would rather sacrifice her life than make things difficult for her father.

If Qin Yuru begged him to prove her innocence, with his indifferent temperament, Chu Huairan would not take it seriously. He had never cared about his children. But now it was Chu Huairan who took the initiative to help Qin Yuru. However, she actually refused him only because she was afraid of troubling her father.

Chu Huairan felt that she was a nice girl. In his eyes, she could never be the one who had killed her mother. So, he immediately said, “Well, you go back first. I know what to do next!”

How could he let Qin Huaiyong take advantage of his daughter?

The female officer came over to take Qin Yuru back. Qin Yuru stood up and kowtowed to Chu Huairan respectfully a few times. Then, she reluctantly left while crying.

Chu Huairan stood up and found the court official of the Ministry of Justice with his servants, asking him to take good care of Qin Yuru. He repeatedly expressed that Qin Yuru was his daughter and hinted that Qin Yuru’s fate might be reversed, telling him that Qin Yuru was never the vicious person who killed her mother.

The official’s position in the Ministry of Justice was not high, so he did not dare to refuse him. He kept nodding and said that he would follow Chu Huairan’s instructions and would never let this lady suffer. Besides, he would take good care of her until she left the Ministry of Justice.

Chu Huairan was very satisfied with his cooperative attitude. Before leaving, he gave the official a sum of money for him to look after Qin Yuru. Then he returned to the mansion with his men to look for Grand Prince.

As soon as he left the Ministry of Justice, someone reported the news to Shao Wanru. Looking at the message vanishing in front of her, Shao Wanru smiled.

“Miss, will the Fourth Young Master Chu help First Miss investigate?” Yujie asked curiously. This chapter is updated by Noᴠel Fɪre.net - ɴovᴇlbin

She witnessed how the First Miss had been at that time and could not understand the current situation. Would this Fourth Young Master Chu really investigate this matter? Was there any need to survey such an obvious matter? The evidence was solid and clear!

“Although he won’t check it out, at least he has shown his sincerity. Qin Yuru’s life in prison will be much better, and she will definitely not be as disheartened as before!” Shao Wanru said lightly and meaningfully, “this will also make things more convenient for her. Of course, it will also give some people a false impression, which helps her a lot!”

Qin Yuru didn’t take any action before, not because she didn’t want to take any action, but because she was looking for a good opportunity. Now this opportunity appeared. On the one hand, the officer in the jail would become less vigilant toward her. On the other hand, it would make Qi Tianyu think highly of her. It would make a big difference if Qin Yuru gained the support of Grand Prince’s Mansion.

Once Chu Huairan agreed to reverse the previous judgment for her, it meant that there was a possibility: Qin Yuru was innocent. If she was innocent, she would definitely be released, and as a royal member, she would naturally be respected by others...

“Keep an eye on her and Qi Tianyu!” Shao Wanru tapped lightly on the table and said, guessing that Qin Yuru might take action soon.

Sure enough, the next day, she received the news that Qin Yuru tried to get the female jailer to send a letter to Qi Tianyu!

Qi Tianyu received Qin Yuru’s letter but did not go to see her immediately. He pushed their meeting to the evening and secretly took a carriage to the Ministry of Justice.

Although he was not an official of the Ministry of Justice, he had friends in there. It was not difficult for him to meet Qin Yuru secretly...
