Chapter 1129 Feeling Deeply Wronged! A Man Robbed the Woman.
In the private room, nobody else made a sound, and they could only hear Eāniang sobbing and crying. Shao Wanru watched her, her watery eyes quite serene.
Eāniang had been crying bitterly. Finally, she sensed that the private room was strangely quiet. Panicked, she looked up at Shao Wanru and pleaded in a sad voice, āFifth Missā¦ ā
āI know about your request. You can go back. Thank you for taking my motherās letter to me!ā Shao Wanru said.
āGet up first!ā Yujie reached out to help Eāniang up.
āNo, Iā¦ā Eāniang still wanted to say something, but Yujie and Qingāer stood on each side of her and forced her to move to the door.
āYou are Marquis Xingās mistress. If you try to stir up trouble, my master will have to go to Marquis Xing!ā When Yujie pushed Eāniang out of the door, her low voice rang in Eāniangās ears.
Her threat immediately dispelled Eāniangās idea of making a scene at the door. As Eāniang looked at the tightly closed door, a thousand thoughts came to her mind. Eventually, she wiped away her tears and stood at the door of the private room, neither crying nor making trouble. It seemed as if she were just an ordinary servant waiting for her masterās call at the door.
Some masters who brought many servants would leave one guarding outside the door. Thus, it was not strange for her to stand there like this. This time, to approach Shao Wanru, Eāniang chose good-quality but not gorgeous clothes. Some of the capable servants of aristocratic families were also dressed this way.
She couldnāt leave like this. Meanwhile, she couldnāt make Princess Chen feel annoyed.
āMy Lady, sheās still outside the door!ā Yujie stood at the door and listened for a while, but she didnāt hear Eāniang walk away. Knowing that she was still there, she showed a trace of disgust on her face. She loathed Eāniang.
Perhaps, the first impression was the strongest. Even though Yujie learned she had suffered many hardships, she always had a feeling that Eāniang was not trustworthy. Fortunately, her master didnāt accept Eāniang. No matter what, this woman didnāt look like a good person.
As a servant girl, she became the mistress of her masterās brother-in-law. There would be many remarks unpleasant to the ear. Besides, she would ruin her masterās reputation.
āLet her stay there!ā Shao Wanru slightly pursed her cherry lips and said with a trace of sharpness across her eyes.
āHow about I drive her away? She is standing at our door. Others might think she is a servant of our mansion!ā Qingāer suggested in a rage. She didnāt like Eāniang either.
She couldnāt bear to see Eāniangās coquettish look.
āDonāt worry about her!ā Shao Wanru shook her head and said, āWell, I donāt want to think about if she is honest. She doesnāt intend to stop and wants to attract othersā attention to force me to agree with her. You know what, I hope that some people would suspect her and investigate Shao Jingās case!ā
Eāniang was said to be her motherās most loyal servant girl. She had been protecting her master closely. Even in her motherās last letter, she appreciated her loyalty. As the daughter, Shao Wanru should try her best to support such a servant girl. Moreover, Eāniangās rival was Madam Jiang. In any case, Shao Wanru was supposed to help Eāniang.
However, Shao Wanru insisted on not doing this favor and wondered how Eāniang and Shao Jing would deal with it!
She would never believe what Eāniang had said. She used some of the facts but didnāt tell the whole story. Actually, Shao Wanru had found something and made some guesses in her heart after her rebirth. Besides, with the information from Yan Xi, she confirmed some causes and effects.
At this time, she would not easily believe whatever Eāniang said. She was more willing to accept the information she had learned by herself and the facts that she had witnessed in her previous life.
She was weak and useless in her previous life, so Eāniang didnāt go to her. Nevertheless, Eāniang eventually married into the Marquis Xingās Mansion, which enraged Shao Yanru, who was in the Palace. But so what? Eāniang still managed to marry Marquis Xing and became Madam Jiangās vigorous opponent.
In this life, Shao Wanru achieved her current high status by advancing gradually and entrenching herself at every step, plus the help of Chu Liuchen. Therefore, Eāniang cast her eyes on her!
There was one thing that she couldnāt figure out. In her previous life, she didnāt seem to hear that a new Miss had moved into the Marquis Xingās Mansion. Even before she died, only the same few Misses were in the mansion. Then, how could this illegitimate daughter appear all of a sudden?
In her last life, Eāniang had successfully married into the Marquis Xingās Mansion when Madam Jiang was still in power. It could be seen that this woman was not easy to deal with. So, since she had entered the Marquis Xingās Mansion, how could her daughter not move into the mansion with her? Moreover, she was just an illegitimate daughter. Madam Jiang wouldnāt recognize an illegitimate son but would accept an illegitimate daughter. In particular, the mother of this illegitimate daughter married into the mansion open and aboveboard.
Shao Wanru was deeply concerned about this matter in her mind. āIs there something wrong with this illegitimate daughter?
āIn the previous life, they didnāt have such an illegitimate daughter. Many changes have taken place in this life, so they gave birth to a daughter. Is that so? Was it the idea of Eāniang or Shao Jing?ā
There were thousands of speculations in her heart, and the truth was beginning to emerge. However, when she thought about it carefully, she couldnāt approach and find out the truth.
While she was lost in thought, a burst of noise suddenly came from downstairs. Yujie looked out of the window and said hurriedly, āMy Lady, Prince Yue has left the city gate!ā
Putting away all her thoughts, Shao Wanru walked to the window and looked out. As expected, she saw two teams of people with horses coming out of the city. In a great hurry, the people on both sides made way for them. Chu Liuyue, tall and handsome, was on the horse at the forefront.
When they arrived at the city gate, the horses stood still, and the two rows of guards behind them also pulled the reins and stopped on the spot. Some people in the crowd on both sides couldnāt help cheering.
Women were screaming with excitement. āPrince Yue!ā āPrince Yue!ā āHe is Prince Yue, His Royal Highness!ā
The descendants of the Chu royal family were all good-looking, and Chu Liuyue had an air of dignity around him. When he stood at the city gate, countless women fell for him instantly.
Apart from these Young Madams from aristocratic families, some ordinary girls also gazed excitedly at Prince Yue, riding on the horse, with pure adoration.
Prince Yue was handsome and likely to be the future crown prince of the East Palace. A man with such a high status and outstanding appearance was indeed attractive.
The city gate was opened wide, and people came from the opposite side.
A gorgeous carriage was at the front of the procession. Through the half-closed gauze curtain, a man in black clothes could be vaguely seen leaning lazily inside. There were cloud and water patterns with dragon claws partly hidden and partly visible on his thick black clothes. He wore the official imperial robe for princes, which was the same as Chu Liuyueās. But somehow, people felt he looked more composed and distinguished than Chu Liuyue in the robe.
A breeze slightly lifted the gauze curtain, revealing his exceedingly handsome face. Immediately, he attracted everyoneās attention.
Chu Liuchen rarely appeared in public like this. Few civilians in the capital city had ever seen Prince Chen, who was said to be sick and weak. In the past, they had only heard that Prince Chen was in poor health and could hardly go outside. It was rumored that Prince Chen was dying, so was this man Prince Chen for real?
He looked healthy and fit!
āIs he Prince Chen?ā
āItās Prince Chen!ā
āHe is Prince Chen!ā His appearance caused a shocking commotion among the crowd ā Prince Chen even overshadowed the two princesses behind them. Everyone seemed to have forgotten that they originally came here to see the beautiful princesses from the Xu State. Screaming citizens vied to get closer to Prince Chen, only to take a look at him.
Everyone seeing him would nod inwardly with admiration. Prince Chen looked fine with a healthy and hearty look, and his imposing manner was even more overwhelming than that of Prince Yue, the First Prince. But there were always rumors saying that he was dying. Why?
Hearsay about the royal family was indeed not unreliable.
People said Prince Chen had rushed back to the Palace to celebrate the Empress Dowagerās birthday in time. Prince Chen had traveled thousands of miles and finally entered the city on her birthday. Not to mention anything else, it was impossible to make it without a strong body. It seemed that Prince Chen was perfectly healthy!
Against all expectations, everyone was most interested in Prince Chen and could hardly move their eyes away from him.
Princess Yuyan was so outraged in the carriage behind that her face turned livid. Before entering the capital city today, she was determined to overpower the whole capital city with her peerless beauty. Thus, Princess Yuyan woke up early in the morning and dressed up to show off. In particular, she knew Prince Yue would come to pick them up.
To prevent Princess Yutao from stealing her thunder, she even sent someone to check Princess Yutaoās clothes early. Knowing that Princess Yutao didnāt make much effort to fluff up her feathers, she breathed a sigh of relief.
To her dismay, she didnāt accomplish the purpose desired. Sure enough, Princess Yutao didnāt outshine her, but Chu Liuchen stole the show. Princess Yuyan felt deeply wronged in her heart. As a woman, she was not as beautiful as Chu Liuchen, who was a man. She had never admitted it, but now she had to accept the truth: Chu Liuchen had an enchanting face, which could bewitch both men and women.
The two sides met at the gate of the city. Chu Liuyue neatly jumped out of the horse, but Chu Liuchen didnāt come out of his carriage. He asked Qin Huaiyong and Chu Qing to ensure a smooth transfer of the documents from both sides. Also, he called the messengers from the Xu State over. These people completed all the procedures. During the process, Chu Liuchen still didnāt walk out of the carriage or leave. He just waited aside.
His beautiful eyes lifted, and he happened to see Shao Wanru standing at the window. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
Of course, Shao Wanru also saw Chu Liuchen. His carriage facing the window was parked in a perfect position. When the gauze curtain was raised a little, their eyes met silently.
Chu Liuchen opened his mouth and seemed to have said something to Shao Wanru. In response, Shao Wanru smiled at him and nodded.
Infanta Yuanāan, in the private room opposite, saw Shao Wanru smile. Then she looked down at the gate of the city. A great crowd had gathered there, so she couldnāt see the person Shao Wanru was smiling at.
āCould it be Prince Chen?ā Inexplicably, Infanta Yuanāan didnāt think so. āIt couldnāt be Prince Yue, right?ā She thoughtfully shifted her eyes to a place outside the crowd. That place happened to be on her side but was not right under her window. From her position, she could see that place clearly. Zhang Qilan and Luo Xiaowan were standing together. Several servant girls surrounded them to prevent the crowd from disturbing them.
Zhang Qilan raised her head and looked at the window opposite Infanta Yuanāan, Shao Wanru was standing there, with no trace of a smile on her face. After watching Shao Wanru for a while, she transferred her gaze to Prince Yue in the crowd. Zhang Qilan seemed to be a little angry. Coincidentally, Prince Yue looked up, but no one knew whom he was looking at. Seeing that, Zhang Qilan got so obviously provoked that she turned around and left immediately. Luo Xiaowan hurriedly chased after her.
A knowing smile appeared on her lips. Infanta Yuanāan knew her previous words workedā¦
