Chapter 550: The Strong Attack Is Just to Find Trouble.
When everyone entered the Madam's courtyard, a maid had already raised the curtain. Shao Wanru followed Mrs. Xingguo and walked in. He turned from the main room into the bedroom. It was very quiet inside, with only the sound of low sobs.
Looking up, the wife was lying on the large bed. She seemed to have aged more than ten years overnight. Her face was lined with wrinkles and her face was pale and haggard. One look showed that she was indeed ill.
The person holding the wife's hand in front of the bed was Shao Yanru. At this time, she heard the voice and wiped away her tears. She turned her head and saw that it was Shao Wanru. She stretched out her hand and patted the wife's hand gently: "Grandma, the fifth sister is here to see you." You!"
The lady on the bed raised her head slowly, and then looked at Shao Wanru with sharp eyes. Her expression, which had been kind just now, suddenly became stiff.
Faced with such a gaze, Shao Wanru stepped forward generously and bowed deeply to the Madam: "Grandma!"
The madam's eyes were full of disgust. She was indeed a evil star and a troublemaker. She had messed up her family into such a mess.
"No need, sit down!" the lady said, the expression on her face was neither happy nor angry.
What happened before is over, and I definitely can't really scold her at this time. There is no way the Queen Mother will summon Shao Wanru to meet her at Ruian's suggestion.
Shao Yanru patted Mrs. Tai's hand comfortingly, stood up, and said softly with red eyes: "Why did fifth sister come so late? Grandma has been asked several times just now!"
This kind of gentle attitude with a touch of intimacy seemed to really treat Shao Wanru as a biological sister.
Disgust appeared on Mrs. Tai's face involuntarily. It turned out that she was an immature person. Although she bore her own surname, she still had such a good relationship with Ruian, the poor princess.
"I just met His Highness Prince Xin at my grandmother's place and brought some news, so my grandmother was delayed for more than an hour."
Shao Wanru said calmly, turning a blind eye to the Madam's disgust. The Madam could even do such vicious and heinous things to her own granddaughter, so why should she pay more attention to her? She would never be a grandchild again. A drama of harmony and tenderness.
Shao Yanru was different from me. She had always shown filial piety in front of Mrs. Tai, but she had indeed left intentionally with him before. Although she came back earlier than him, it couldn't have been that early.
Based on Shao Yanru's intention to flaunt her filial piety, she must have come directly to the Mrs. Tai upon her return to show how much she cares for the Mrs. Tai.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, the Madam's face looked a little ugly and she quickly got up, the corners of her lips drooped, and she glanced at Shao Yanru a few more times, but said nothing.
"I don't have that much time. Fifth sister may have remembered it wrong." Shao Yanru knew that Shao Wanru had ruined her affairs as soon as she saw Mrs. Tai's appearance, but she didn't show it on her face. She pretended not to hear anything and muttered vaguely. explained.
"How could I remember it wrong? It's a coincidence that His Royal Highness Prince Xin was there when we entered the city before. Just now he mentioned how the two of us never returned to the Xingguo Duke's Mansion after entering the city!" Shao Wanru said with some surprise. .
The sound was not very loud, but everyone in the room heard it. The maids all lowered their heads and did not dare to move.
With King Xin’s testimony, this is true!
When the eldest lady fell in tears in front of the Madam just now, she repeatedly expressed that she had received news from the Madam. She hurried down the mountain, entered the door and came straight to the Madam anxiously. But how to explain her current meaning?
Mrs. Tai's eyes swept over Shao Yanru's face, and the corners of her mouth became droopier. She waved her hands on the bed in annoyance. People cannot control their emotions when they are sick.
Shao Yanru wanted to bite Shao Wanru a few times, but she didn't dare to show it on her face: "I went to the drugstore before, thinking about seeing what good medicinal materials there were for my grandmother. Unexpectedly, I went to several drugstores. I couldn't find any particularly good ones, so I only found some ordinary ones. I thought that there were only so many medicinal materials in the house, so I didn't say anything about it, but I asked Fifth Sister to tell the truth!"
Since Shao Wanru mentioned His Highness King Xin, Shao Yanru would not doubt it, so he could only excuse himself. He turned back to Shuqi who was standing behind him and said, "Go and get the medicinal materials I just bought!"
"Yes, Miss!" Shuqi nodded knowingly and walked out.
Since they are just ordinary medicinal materials, there are naturally many of them in this mansion, you just need to go and get some.
Shao Wanru narrowed her eyes. She didn't expect to be able to peel off Shao Yanru's beautiful skin all at once. The more urgent the matter, the less likely it is to get angry, so just take your time.
"Madam, madam, the eldest princess's palace has sent someone to ask about something important!" A woman reported outside the door.
The madam leaned back. She couldn't hear the words "eldest princess" the most right now. She waved her hand and said, "Wanyan, you can go and deal with it. I have a headache again right now. Let Ru'er stay. Others Everyone, please leave, so that I don’t feel uncomfortable seeing so many people.”
The so-called discomfort caused by the crowd was of course Shao Wanru's. She and Yu Jie were the only new ones in the room.
"Grandma, Wan Ru is resigning. I hope grandma will take good care of herself!" Shao Wanru said knowingly, her watery eyes swept over Shao Yanru, and she sneered in her heart. The madam really wanted to see Shao Yanru and wanted to let Shao Yanru talk, but she also stumbled over Shao Yanru. It's a good thing for Grandma Gao.
Shao Yanru was more cunning than Mrs. Xingguo, and her reactions were quick. The words she just said, combined with the medicinal materials of Shuqi, completely made up for the previous incident.
However, she misjudged people's hearts after all. Even though this matter is seamless now, if something or evidence comes out in the future, this so-called seamlessness will slowly be torn apart.
"Wan Ru, let's go meet Grandma Gao from the Princess's Mansion!" Mrs. Xingguo had a gentle smile on her face, as if she didn't hear the concubine's disdain.
Shao Wanru nodded and followed Mrs. Xingguo out.
Shao Yanru frowned, her heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling. When Shao Wanru arrived, the eldest princess’s people came from behind, and the person who came was the personal nun beside the eldest princess Ruian. Having stayed in the eldest princess's mansion, I know that Aunt Gao is a powerful person. She handles many affairs in the eldest princess's mansion.
The eldest princess of Ruian has never been interested in managing the mansion. Only Mammy Gao manages such a large eldest princess' mansion in such an orderly manner, which is not comparable to ordinary servants.
She actually wanted to go and see her, but when she saw the madam smiling and waving to her on the bed, she knew she couldn't leave. She could only wipe the corners of her eyes with a worried look, walked to the bed and sat on the small table again. He sat down and comforted the lady...
In the flower hall, Grandma Gao was sitting there, with two maids standing behind her. Outside the flower hall, several craftsmen were standing on the edge of the flower hall. When they saw Duke Xingguo and Mrs. Xingguo waiting over, they lowered their heads and stepped aside.
Seeing so many people coming to the eldest princess's palace, Mrs. Xingguo Gong felt that what happened today was not a good thing, and she felt uneasy.
Stepping through the door, Grandma Gao stood up, first saluted Mrs. Xingguo, and then saluted Shao Wanru.
"Auntie Gao, please take a seat!" Mrs. Xingguo said politely.
With a status like Aunt Gao's, she could say a few words even in front of the Queen Mother, so of course she would not dare to offend her.
In other words, Madam Tai could ignore Aunt Gao, but she couldn't.
Aunt Gao was not too polite. She just followed the rules and sat down on the chair again. Mrs. Xingguo and Shao Wanru also sat down together.
The servants brought tea, Shao Wanru picked up the teacup, took a sip, lowered her watery eyes, and listened quietly. From now on, all she had to do was listen!
"I wonder why the eldest princess sent Grandma Gao here?" Mrs. Xingguo put down the tea cup, took the handkerchief and licked the tea stains on the corners of her lips, and asked with a smile.
"I have taken the liberty to come to the house, which is really disturbing, but I can't delay this matter, so I have to come here shamelessly. I hope Madam will forgive me!" Aunt Gao said politely.
Mrs. Xingguo was very impressed by what she said. She nodded immediately, and the smile on her face became more friendly, "If you have anything to do, Aunt Gao, just say it. If you can do it, you will definitely obey!"
"It's great that Madam can say this. In fact, this matter is indeed your house's business. The eldest princess also knows that your house has prepared it early, but the eldest princess is such a granddaughter, and she always feels that she can't worry about it. Come on, why don’t I just let this old slave go and see the yard prepared for the fifth lady in the house, and bring someone to measure the house so that I can make a suitable set of furniture!"
Aunt Gao said cheerfully, pointing to a few craftsmen standing outside, "These are famous craftsmen in the city. Our eldest princess specially invited them here. We can't wrong Miss Fifth. In half a year's time, The fifth lady is about to go down the mountain, and if these are not prepared, the fifth lady will not even have a place to live."
Mrs. Xingguo was slightly shocked, and her eyes glanced at Shao Wanru, who was sitting quietly on the side without interrupting. There was a trace of sadness and hideousness on her face.
"The yard is ready, but it hasn't been completely cleaned yet. As for the furniture in the house, it has been prepared in advance, so I won't bother the eldest princess with her kindness!" said Duke Xingguo.
Who bothered to prepare a yard for Shao Wanru? The yard that was so good before was burned down. Mrs. Xingguo still felt heartbroken when she thought of it.
"Madam, the eldest princess naturally wants to make a set of furniture for her cousin. She also wants to see the yard where her cousin lives. Among the young ladies in your house, only the cousin has the highest status. The eldest princess can't help but ask for a reward from the Queen Mother for her cousin. If it is not the best garden in the house, even the Queen Mother will not be able to justify it!"
Aunt Gao said this very rudely, with a stern look on her face. She had been following the eldest princess, and some directions were quite similar to the eldest princess. Especially with such a stern face, it made Mrs. Xingguo Gong feel a little bit inexplicable. Qi deficiency.
After crumpling the handkerchief into a ball, he gritted his teeth secretly, "The most noble lady?" Why her?
"Auntie Gao, the ladies in the house have the same status and status, and the people living in this courtyard are naturally similar. If Wanru is given the best garden, I'm afraid it will be unfair to the other ladies!" He swallowed hard and said, Mrs. Xingguo explained with a smile.
"Bang!" The teacup in Grandma Gao's hand fell heavily on the table, causing the table to shake.
