Chapter 1,081 Let’s See Who Takes the Lead.

"What kind of calligraphy and painting do you want?" Princess Ruian's attention was indeed attracted, and she asked in surprise, "The painting you gave to the Queen Mother is good, is it possible that you need others?"

She was afraid that Shao Wanru didn't know how to give gifts, so she patted her hand kindly and said: "You don't have to give too many gifts, just choose the best ones. The Queen Mother has never seen any good things. In fact, the most important thing is your heart." , your maple leaf paintings are thoughtful and thoughtful, and they are already excellent. If you give them more, it will make people feel like they are superfluous."

"Grandma, I want to read more calligraphy and paintings. I can do better." Shao Wanru said.

"That's okay, I have some here, take it if you like it." Princess Ruian nodded. She thought Shao Wanru meant to bring together the best of hundreds of schools of thought to make her previous paintings more perfect.

"Of course I'm going to take a look at my grandma's calligraphy and paintings. Grandma has to keep an eye out for me. If she sees something suitable, she can also buy it for me. After a while, you'll have someone send a message, saying that you're looking for some. Good calligraphy and painting." Shao Wanru explained, letting the news out first.

"Okay, I understand!" Princess Ruian nodded in agreement.

"Sister." The curtain at the door opened, and Shao Yuanhao walked in. He looked like a young boy, but he was no longer the playboy he was before. When he saw Shao Wanru when he entered the door, his eyes lit up, and he took two steps forward. He bowed respectfully to Shao Wanru and the eldest princess Ruian, "My sister and grandma went out, but why didn't they take me with them?"

Shao Wanru smiled. The little boy already had beautiful outlines on his face. His appearance was a little different from Shao Wanru's. He was more handsome than a boy. Although he still had the appearance of a child, he could tell that he would be a handsome young man in the future.

Compared with three years ago, not only has he grown taller, but he has also become much more sensible. He is no longer the little boy who cried a lot of tears and had a lot of runny nose when he was forced to study.

"You are studying. How can my grandmother and I disturb your study?" Shao Wanru said.

"Hao'er, come here and sit next to grandma!" Princess Ruian said with a smile. She looked at her granddaughter and grandson and saw how much she liked them.

Shao Yuanhao sat down next to Princess Ruian and said: "Sister, I study very seriously. Even if I accompany my grandmother and sister out, I will not miss studying. My brother-in-law told me before he left that there is nothing else at home. Man, if grandma and sister have something to do, please let me accompany you. Even if I don’t do anything, it’s good to give you courage!”

Shao Yuanhao's little chest puffed up, and he felt that what his brother-in-law Chen Wang said was so right. For his brother-in-law, Shao Yuanhao went from being afraid at the beginning to admiring him now. Such a process is actually a bitter process. Of course, these are not important. Shao Yuanhao feels that it is not If you are sensible, what you have done in the past is black history, so it is better not to mention it!

His Highness King Chen said that even though he was sick and weak, he still had to accompany his sister. Although he was young, he was still a man and he could not let his sister be bullied.

Seeing him acting like a young adult, Shao Wanru and Princess Ruian looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh together.

"Okay, Hao'er will study hard from now on. Sister, I will wait for you to make a difference." Shao Wanru said with a smile.

"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely support you in the future. If...if my brother-in-law dares to bully you...I...I will definitely not spare him."

Shao Yuanhao clenched his fists. Although he felt guilty, he still gritted his teeth to show that he could resist.

In fact, he was really afraid of this sinister brother-in-law, but he couldn't lose his manly demeanor in front of his sister, even if he was afraid, he had to say it.

"Hao'er has grown up and is now the heir apparent of the Xingguo Marquis Mansion. Hao'er, if...sister means if, you don't have the title of the heir apparent of the Xingguo Marquis, what will happen to you?" Shao Wanru stood up and walked to Shao Yuanhao's house. Beside, asked softly.

"I'm not afraid, I just want my sister and grandmother." Shao Yuanhao said without hesitation.

When he was young and ignorant, people in the mansion kept telling him that from now on everything in the mansion belonged to his eldest brother and had nothing to do with him. As long as he had good food, drink, and fun, even the things around him The servants all said the same thing. After hearing and seeing it, Shao Yuanhao never felt that the position of "eldest son" was his.

When he was at the mansion, everyone around him shook their heads when they talked about his parents, saying that not only did they cause the wife to lose her son-in-law, but they also made him lose his parents at a young age, which was the most irresponsible thing. It was said that his mother, Princess Qinghua, was self-righteous and unfilial to his wife, and later instigated his father to leave the palace, which led to such a tragedy.

In a word, everything is their own fault, but the government treats them with utmost benevolence and justice.

Such words made Shao Yuanhao, who was starting to understand a little, very uncomfortable. He even beat the boy next to him for it, but even so, he still said what needed to be said. If he didn't say it in front of him, he would sneak up behind him. Go and say it, but let him hear it.

He was still young at that time and didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing, so he went to tell the wife and Mrs. Jiang who loved him the most. The two of them coaxed him on the surface and scolded the servant for gossiping. How should he repay him later? No matter what, it even got worse.

What I didn't understand before, I now understand everything.

Everything was just the Xingguo Hou Mansion's ill will towards him. In fact, according to his original intention, Shao Yuanhao did not want to be the heir apparent of this Hou Mansion.

"Sister, the position of the heir apparent is really nothing. I don't care if I have it or not." Shao Yuanhao said seriously with a small face.

Looking at the pair of children, the eldest princess Ruian's eyes turned red. She turned her head and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. She actually didn't care about the title of Marquis Xingguo. After so many years of trouble, she just couldn't reconcile herself to the title that originally belonged to her daughter and son-in-law. , fell on the second room of Xingguo Hou Mansion.

If the second wife had not caused trouble, the daughter and son-in-law would not have been forced out of the capital, and all these tragedies would not have happened.

Fortunately, the granddaughter and grandson are both sensible. What makes Princess Ruian feel most fortunate is that her granddaughter was found and helped her bring Haoer to the Princess's mansion in a legitimate and legitimate manner. The people in the Hou Mansion were undersupplied.

They are all biological, I don’t know why some people’s hearts are so biased.

"Zhuo Zhuo, Hao'er doesn't care about this title, and I don't care about this either. Just do whatever you want!" Princess Ruian wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around and said with a smile.

Shao Wanru pulled Shao Yuanhao to sit next to the eldest princess, and held the eldest princess with the other hand: "Grandma, don't worry!"

Her long eyelashes fluttered twice to cover up the sharpness in her eyes. She didn't really want to lose this title, she just wanted to know what the people she cared about thought. Since no one else cared, she already had a plan in mind.

Some people think that the title of the Xingguo Marquis Mansion is what they and their grandmother care about most, then they will really be disappointed!

It would be great if someone used this as a trump card...

"Princess Ruian wants to collect calligraphy and paintings?" Zhao Xiran looked at Mrs. Zhao in front of him in astonishment and asked in surprise.

Mrs. Zhao lowered her head, rubbed the handkerchief, and shook her head: "The news obtained by your father said that the reason why the eldest princess Ruian collected calligraphy and paintings was for Princess Chen."

"Why does Princess Chen need to collect calligraphy and paintings for the Queen Mother's birthday?" Zhao Xiran said puzzledly, "If it is for the Queen Mother's birthday, she should prepare early. The day is coming soon, why did she think Get up and collect it? Is this too hasty?"

"What your father means is to ask... is it because of...?" Mrs. Zhao stretched out her hand and pulled it, which represented the entire Xingguo Hou Mansion.

"Mother, it shouldn't be possible. Princess Chen has not returned to the Marquis Mansion, so how could she suddenly do such a thing?" Zhao Xiran whispered.

They were the only two people in the house, mother and daughter. The rest of the servants had been kicked out. Mrs. Zhao came to visit her daughter today.

Shao Huaan couldn't sit still here, so he asked two boys to carry him to the study in the front yard.

His injury has basically stabilized, and he just needs to take good care of it. The injury is relatively serious, and he will have to lie down for at least several months, and he will not be able to ride a horse in the future.

"You haven't gotten any information from my uncle yet?" Seeing that her daughter had not made any progress, Mrs. Zhao said dissatisfiedly, her brows furrowed tightly, and her tone sounded a bit reproachful.

"Mother, if I knew, why wouldn't I tell you and my father!" Seeing that his mother didn't understand him, Zhao Xiran couldn't help but feel angry, "Mother, since I decided to marry in the first place, I had planned to help my father. Yes, is it possible that what I’m doing right now isn’t good enough?”

After saying that, I started to cry aggrievedly. Thinking of the child I had no chance to lose, I felt a burst of sadness.

When she married into the Marquis of Xingguo, she did have ulterior motives, but she also lived wholeheartedly with Shao Huaan. Now that her life is like this, she has never thought of it before. In the past, she was also arrogant. I feel that as long as I want to live a good life, there is no such thing as a bad life.

Unexpectedly, something happened to her when she entered the house, and things happened one after another after that. Now she doesn't even know how to survive.

The Xingguo Hou Mansion was in such a dilapidated state, and it was dilapidated so quickly. This was something Zhao Xiran never expected when he married in.

Seeing her daughter crying sadly, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly comforted her and said: "It's my mother's fault, and my mother is also anxious. Your father didn't handle the matter well by himself, so he has to rely on you now. He is afraid that the emperor will know about this." Not only his life can't be saved, but everyone in our house may also be dead, and your father can't help it either!"

Mrs. Zhao started crying when she said this.

"Xiran, I'm sorry for you. I'm really wronged by all the troubles happening in the Xingguo Hou Mansion. If I had known, I wouldn't have let you marry me in the first place. I wish I hadn't listened to what you two thought."
