Chapter 651: Concubine Shu, Why Don’t You Have a Date?

Every time he walked into Mrs. Tai's house, Shao Wanru always felt dull. It was a very repulsive atmosphere.

Either when she entered the door, the wife was already sitting there with a straight face and a domineering look on her face, or it was the feeling she had now. Before she entered, she heard people talking and laughing inside, the atmosphere was great, and she heard the maid reporting her arrival. When she arrived, the whole room became eerily quiet for a moment.

Then she heard the dowager's gentle voice asking her to come in.

It was a feeling of complete exclusion. Although it was not stated clearly, the whole atmosphere was incompatible with me. When I remembered that my mother had also experienced such a situation, a sharp and deep look flashed in her eyes. In this Xingguo Duke's Mansion, Xingguo The status of the Duke's wife is so high that she can trample anyone under her feet.

Mrs. Xingguo was just adding fuel to the fire. If she hadn't been forced to do anything, her mother would not have left the Xingguo mansion!

After bowing to the lady sitting on the couch in the middle, Shao Wanru sat aside as instructed. When he raised his eyes, he realized that not only Shao Yanru was there, but also Shao Jie'er, Shao Caihuan, and Shao Cailing. It was really lively.

Seeing her raising her eyes, Shao Yanru smiled at her with a bit of gentleness and dignity as always. Shao Jie'er looked at her with a bit of disdain. If it weren't for the eldest princess Ruian behind Shao Wanru, in this mansion His status is inferior to even hers, so how could she like him?

Shao Caihuan and Shao Cailing are the biological sisters of Sanfang. Because Mrs. Sanfang crashed her car three years ago, she is always in poor health. The sisters usually accompany Mrs. San in Sanfang and rarely appear in other places. Now that he is living in seclusion, Shao Caihuan looks more stable. After meeting Shao Wanru's eyes calmly, his face was expressionless.

Shao Cailing was a little curious and followed Shao Wanru's eyes for a while.

Now that everyone was here, the Madam gave a low cough and said to the five granddaughters: "Since you are all here now, let's talk about it together! Wanyu came last, and Ru'er and her Talk about this!”

After speaking, he picked up the tea at hand, took a sip, and pushed the matter onto Shao Yanru.

Shao Yanru was sitting next to Shao Wanru. After hearing what Mrs. Tai said, she turned her head and said, "Does Fifth Sister know about Concubine Shu in the palace?"

Concubine Shu? Shao Wanru pondered for a moment and nodded.

As for the name Shu Fei, of course she knows that she is one of the emperor's four concubines, but she did not give birth to an heir. However, even so, she has firmly occupied the position of Shu Fei, which shows that she is extraordinary.

"Empress Shu and my mother are cousins. They used to have a close relationship when they were not married. Now, even when they enter the palace, they often give gifts to me. My predecessor, Empress Shu, also gave me gifts. Your share is, I'll take it back later, grandma wants us to go to the palace to thank Concubine Shu together!"

Shao Yanru smiled.

"I'm still in Xiaozhong, I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience!" Shao Wanru narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.

"What does this have to do with it? Concubine Shu has known about you for a long time. Knowing that you saved His Highness King Chen, she is particularly curious about you and especially told her grandmother that she wanted to meet you!" Shao Yanru said with a smile.

"But if I dress so plainly, I'm afraid I might offend Concubine Shu!" Shao Wanru lowered his head, hiding a hint of coldness in his eyes. Concubine Shu was actually the backing of Duke Xingguo's wife. What did he overlook?

"Concubine Shu has a very good temper. Since she said she wants to see you, I won't think you are rude!" Shao Yanru persuaded with a smile.

"Well, there is no need to push back Wan Ru. It is your blessing that Concubine Shu wants to see you. Don't push it too far. You will go into the palace to see Concubine Shu tomorrow. I have already handed in the note. It’s over!” The Madam sent a message above.

Since Concubine Shu wanted to see her and she had already handed in the notice, it had already been decided. Therefore, letting Shao Wanru come was not for discussion, but just to inform her. The strong meaning in this was naturally You have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you disagree.

He raised his head, his watery eyes were flowing, with a leisurely smile, elegant and gentle: "Yes, it all depends on grandma!"

Seeing that she no longer refused, the Dowager's expression became slightly better, "Now that you have entered the palace, you can't always wear something so ordinary. Choose what you need."

After Mrs. Tai finished speaking, Aunt Yu had already brought in several maids, and they were lined up in a row. Everyone was holding a tray in their hands. The jewelry and brocade on the tray were obviously extraordinary at a glance.

Shao Wanru looked away calmly, so these were the rewards given to him by the Queen Mother in the palace. Now he took them out for himself to choose, and the "leftovers" were naturally left to others!

Now that I am in the process of observing filial piety and practicing Qing Dynasty, how can I choose more, let alone any exquisite jewelry and brocade. The so-called letting myself choose first is actually just a formality, so that when I talk about it in the future, Speechless, taken advantage of!

The corners of his lips twitched slightly. There were so many cheap things in this world, and he wanted to take advantage of himself, but he also wanted to make himself suffer.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the Dowager Madam has not yet made it clear that this is a reward given to her by the Queen Mother. In addition, she mentioned Concubine Shu just now and said that Concubine Shu sent it as a gift. It is easy for people to think that this is also a reward. Empress Shu concubine rewarded her, even if she later said that she didn't know it was a reward given to her by the empress dowager, it would still make people think that she was deliberately provoking trouble.

Yuan also deliberately let himself misunderstand!

Madam’s plan is so good!

"Grandma, there's no need. My granddaughter is still cultivating. She doesn't dare to win the reward from grandma!" Seeing several maids lined up in front of him, looking like they were letting him choose, Shao Wanru stood up. He stood up and refused with a smile.

"How can I not choose? Even if I am in Qing Dynasty now, I still have to choose a few things, so as not to let down my grandmother's wishes!" Shao Yanru also stood up and said with a smile.

If Shao Wanru didn't choose, they couldn't choose, lest the Empress Dowager would ask about it and blame the Xingguo Duke's Mansion. Half of the grandmothers here were promised to her, and recently it was indeed she who needed the most beautiful things. How can you not be moved when buying jewelry?

"No, thank you grandma!" Shao Wanru shook his head and said firmly.

Mrs. Tai's face darkened, and the false smile that was still hanging on her face could no longer be retained. She cast a cold sideways glance at Shao Wanru: "Originally, I wanted your sisters to pick first, but everyone thought When you were the youngest, and you were short of jewelry in the past, I always recommended you to choose first. If you don't choose, not only will it be a waste of their efforts, but also the words I said before will not count, and there is no chance that someone will accuse me of being partial!"

Thinking of the various rumors outside, after three years, I thought they would slowly fade away, but I didn't expect that not only did they not fade away, but they have become more noisy recently, and all of this is because of Shao Wanru, the cheap granddaughter who recognized her. The dowager's eyes are not eyes, and her eyebrows are not eyebrows.

"Grandma is very kind to Wanru, and she is Wanru's elder. Don't pay attention to what outsiders say. No one will take it seriously. Grandma should let the four sisters choose. I'll forget it!" Shao Wanru seemed not to see the Dowager's gloomy expression. Face, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the hairpin on his head, "Just like the hairpin on your head is also good. It was rewarded by the Empress Dowager. If you wear this hairpin into the palace to see Empress Shu, the empress will not blame her. !”

Shao Yanru's eyes fell on the hairpin on Shao Wanru's black hair. After hearing what she said, she realized that the hairpin was really valuable. Although it looked light and light, its jade color was very good. When she looked closely, You can see that the inner substance is as clear as water, which is really extraordinary. It can be seen that it is indeed a fine product.

"Fifth sister, the hairpin on your head is indeed good, but there are always some missing. Let's pick another hairpin. It's always my grandmother's wish!" Shao Yanru smiled and pointed at the tray in front of Shao Wanru. As long as Shao Wanru chooses the gifts, she can choose the rest.

Letting Shao Wanru come here was just for show, and it was determined that she would not be able to choose many.

"Fifth sister, how about taking a look at this one?" Shao Yanru reached out and picked up a hairpin that was similar to the one on Shao Wanru's head, and handed it to Shao Wanru with a smile, "Look, it looks like a pair. If fifth sister likes it, How about choosing this one if it’s so light?”

Shao Wanru's eyes fell on the pair Shao Yanru chose for herself. After looking at it for a while, she seemed to have discovered something. She tilted her head slightly, and there was curiosity in her eyes: "This hairpin is also a reward from the palace." Did it come down? It is really similar to the one on my head, and even the mark is so similar, it seems that it was rewarded by the same owner. Could it be that Concubine Shu also received the reward from the Queen Mother?"

What she said was so sudden that no one expected that she would actually ask such a question at this time, but she asked it very naturally. It was Shao Yanru who mentioned it. This hairpin and Shao Wanru The hairpins on their heads are indeed similar, and they were both gifted by the Queen Mother, so it is normal for the marks to be the same.

The madam's face was as dark as water, and she stared at Shao Wanru almost gloomily. With such words, the situation she had carefully created before was broken.

The room became eerily quiet. There were still some scattered sounds, but they seemed to be interrupted by a slap. It was so quiet that you could almost hear the breathing of everyone in the room!

Shao Jie'er held the handkerchief in her hand and stared at Shao Wanru angrily. She had been waiting here for a long time, but she didn't plan to pick a few good ones since Shao Wanru had already picked them!

Shao Caihuan and Shao Cailing didn't say a word. They looked at each other and waited quietly for the next scene. Did the madam plan to rebuke Shao Wanru in anger, or did she plan to pretend she didn't hear it and take the words away?

As you can imagine, the Madam was not in a happy mood no matter what. Based on her mother's repeated reminders, the two sisters didn't feel very good about their grandmother either. They didn't say anything at this moment and just watched indifferently.
