Chapter 153 How Influential It Would Be?
When seeing Qin Huaiyongâs eyes darkening, Qin Wanru smiled slightly, reached out and held Shui Ruolan. She said in a low voice, âMother, donât be angry. Please pay attention to your body. You must be tired after such a long journey. How about sit down and have a rest? Look at you; you are sweaty!â
âRuolan, sit down first!â said Qin Huaiyong. When he looked at Shui Ruolan, his face softened.
Madam Di glared at Shui Ruolan hatefully. âA mean widow! How could she not be ashamed of having our generalâs baby? She needs to know she is shameless!â Then Madam Di set her eyes on Shui Ruolanâs abdomen. If her eyes were fire, Shui Ruolanâs abdomen would be burnt a hole.
Shui Ruolan didnât refuse his suggestion and nodded in agreement. Then she sat in the chair beside Qin Huaiyong with Qin Wanruâs help.
This scene made Madam Di nearly get mad but when she raised her head, she then became angry and wronged. She looked at Qin Huaiyong and said, âGeneral, just say something!â
Qin Huaiyong looked at Qin Wanru, frowned and asked, âYou had a quarrel with Yuru when you meet at the entrance of Ruiâan Great Elder Princessâ Mansion, didnât you?â
âYes, but I had no quarrel with elder sister. It was the lady of Duke Yongâs Mansion who tried to push me down the fence. There are numerous gravels. People would either die or get hurt if falling down. Lady Yan of the Deputy Prime Ministerâs Mansion could not bear and helped me a lot! Many people also saw the scene!â
Qin Wanru raised her eyes and said blankly, âWhy are you crying? It is I who got hurt, isnât it? Or is elder sister worrying about me?â
She set her blank eyes on crying Qin Yuru and her angry mother, seeming that she didnât know her mistake.
âYou are lying! It is you who told them about the event of Jiangzhou deliberately!â shouted Madam Di quickly when she found that the thing went wrong. She felt extremely angry in her heart because she didnât receive the invitation card from Ruiâan Great Elder Princess. When people of Duke Yongâs Mansion finally promised to bring Qin Yuru together, she, however, came back like a drowned rat.
Ruiâan Great Elder Princess was not the Duke Fengyang so it would be quite difficult to be invited by her. With that honor, if she met the Princess of Duke Yangqu, she dare not say anything at Ruiâan Great Elder Princessâ banquet. If she agitated Great Elder Princess, the Princess of Duke Yangqu could not take this responsibility.
However, she missed this perfect chance and let Shui Ruolan appear in front of others first. How would others think about her?
Was she unwanted? Would she not be the official wife soon and let the second wife be an honor guest? Would the general not want his official wife?
Madam Di had been angry about this while Qin Yuru came back in tears. However, she could not let off her anger on Shui Ruolan and then she chose Qin Wanru.
âWhat did I tell others?â Qin Wanru seemed to be much blanker, and said, âSo do you mean that I explained to others that I didnât snatch otherâs bridegroom and I didnât break off the engagement in Jiangzhou?â
When she finished, she deliberately turned around, looked at Shui Ruolan and asked hesitantly, âMother, many ladies being with elder sister said I did these things, didnât they? Couldnât I explain to them that I never did these things?â
Shui Ruolan turned and looked at Qin Huaiyong. She looked a little bit serious and asked, with her hands covering her abdomen subconsciously, âGeneral, why would they say that to Wanru? Wanru just arrived in the capital city and she isnât a well-known lady of an aristocrat family. However, why would so many people say that to her? When we just entered the mansion, there were many ladies of Duke Yongâs Mansion and they were all talking about this!â
A hint of hate flashed in Madam Diâs eyes and she set her eyes on Shui Ruolanâs abdomen. Now Shui Ruolanâs abdomen was her most hateful thing. She always hoped that Shui Ruolan would be irritated, which would affect the fetus or miscarry directly!
âThey are spreading gossip about Wanru?â Hearing this, Qin Huaiyong felt strange. He raised his eyes and watched Qin Yuru who was still crying and lying on the table.
In Qinâs Mansion, Qin Yuru was the first person who came to the capital city. So if there were some people talking about Qin Wanru, Qin Yuru would be very doubtful. Thinking about the event in Jiangzhou, Qin Huaiyong could not say that his eldest daughter was totally innocent.
However, she was his only daughter!
âYes, they are. Wanru just explained a few words and why would the thing become killing Yuru? Or is Wanru really wrong for doing that? So is it reasonable to slander Wanru?â Shui Ruolan sneered. Although she was very gentle and soft, when seeing Qin Huaiyong being indecisive, she felt angry and made her voice sharp unconsciously!
âYuru, tell me about that. How do people know the event in Jiangzhou? How do they know those things like snatching bridegroom and breaking the engagement?â Qin Huaiyong said with a solemn face and banged on the table with his hand.
âFather, I have no idea! I didnât do that!â said Qin Yuru. She felt nervous and she didnât expect that Shui Ruolan and Qin Wanru would use this point. But she had prepared before so she denied at once!
âIf elder sister didnât do that, then who would do that? Who would know me?â asked Qin Wanru painfully, seeming that she was also very indecisive.
Except Qin Yuru, who would know Qin Wanru before she arrived in the capital city and who would hate her so much?
Here, Qin Wanru seemed to remember something, turned around and said to Qin Huaiyong, âFather, Countess Yong was asked to leave by Ruiâan Great Elder Princess!â
If Qin Huaiyong could not make a decision at once, then just let her push him!
A hint of grimness flashed in her beautiful eyes. Madam Di and her daughter certainly didnât expect what happened when Qin Yuru had left.
âWhat?â Qin Huaiyong asked quickly as his expression changed.
âNonsense! It is impossible!â Madam Di screamed loudly.
âNo!â shouted Qin Yuru, gnashing her teeth. She finally did not pretend to cry, raised her head and glared at Qin Wanru.
âIt is true. Now everyone in the capital city knows this. If you donât believe me, now you could send someone to ask about it outside the mansion that whether Countess Yong is kicked off!â
Shui Ruolan said coldly aside.
âWhy would Ruiâan Great Elder Princess ask my sister-in-law to leave? Nonsense!â Madam Di bit the bullet and said powerfully. Seeing them being calm and peaceful, Madam Di gradually felt anxious and didnât believe that this would happen to her maiden home.
Qin Huaiyong also didnât believe and stared at Shui Ruolan.
âI hear that it is related to the kidnapping of Ruiâan Great Elder Princessâ grandchild!â Shui Ruolan answered.
âIs it true?â Qin Huaiyong had to face this fact. If it was true, it would be a really serious event for Duke Yongâs Mansion, which would definitely affect their reputation!
âYes!â Shui Ruolan nodded affirmatively again.
âFather, I also got involved in this. There was a slip of paper on which my name is written. I am a new-comer but they have known me. Then it is said that the slip of paper belongs to Duke Yongâs Mansion. However, mother and I donât know the details. Anyway, Ruiâan Great Elder Princess was very angry and asked Countess Yong to leave at once!â
Qin Wanru explained the event logically with her eyes flickering.
Though her explanation was a little bit vague and didnât point directly at Duke Yongâs Mansion, Ruiâan Great Elder Princessâ decision explained everything with evidence!
Hearing her words, Qin Huaiyong believed her at once and glared at Madam Di whose face turning pale immediately. He shouted angrily, âWhat does Duke Yongâs Mansion want to do on earth?â
If this event was related to Qin Wanru, then it went to Qinâs Mansion. Now Qin Huaiyong didnât get promoted and if something bad happened to Qin Wanru, his career would be influenced greatly. How could he not get mad when thinking of this!
Madam Di got flustered. She didnât expect that things would go like this!
It was certain that Countess Yong didnât like Qin Wanru but why she would really cause trouble, even in front of Ruiâan Great Elder Princess who then asked her to leave at the end. Then how could she plan to let her sister-in-law bring Shui Ruolan to Marquisesâ Mansion of Fengyang?
How could she plan to let her sister-in-law trap Shui Ruolan and make her miscarry?
âWhat did she do? She is calm all the time but how could she do this ridiculous thing?â Madam Di was angry and anxious.
Now she was complaining about Countess Yong but she didnât expect that she put Countess Yong in the wrong because it was her niece, Di Fenglan who did without thinking when she got mad. Actually, it had nothing to do with Countess Yong!
âSister-in-law would definitely not do this! You must misunderstand her!â No matter how she thought in her mind, Madam Di still said powerfully, gnashing her teeth with her eyes flickering.
âMisunderstand? Ruiâan Great Elder Princess misunderstood her?â Qin Huaiyong asked with a livid face.
âIt may be⊠It must be because Ruiâan Great Elder Princess favors Wanru that she misunderstood my sister-in-law! She sent the invitation card to Wanru, directly, without mentioning my Yuru. I donât know why Ruiâan Great Elder Princess would look down upon my Yuru. Logically, she should invite these two sisters in pair!â
Madam Di lowered her head sadly. Her meaning was that Shui Ruolan and Qin Wanru had spoken evil of Qin Yuru and Duke Yongâs Mansion in front of Ruiâan Great Elder Princess, which made Ruiâan Great Elder Princess had a prejudice against Qin Yuru and Duke Yongâs Mansion. She must misunderstand them and then asked them to leave.
Realizing that Madam Di was confusing right and wrong, Shui Ruolan got really mad and shook with anger. She knew Madam Di was shameless but she didnât expect that Madam Di would have no sense of shame at all! When she tried to stand up and say something, Qin Wanru tugged her sleeves and said, âDoes father think that Ruiâan Great Elder Princess has favored me so much like this? We only met once. Would she believe me like this?â
Now Shui Ruolan quickly understood her meaning, turned and said to Qin Huaiyong, âGeneral, if Ruiâan Great Elder Princess does favor Wanru so much, then your promotion would be⊠a piece of cake!â
When Madam Di heard this, her expression changed drasticallyâŠ
