Chapter 926: A Mansion with Secrets
"Princess, the Madam is very angry!" When Yu Jie was leaving, she took a special look at the Madam. She saw the undisguised disgust in the Madam's eyes and was very worried.
"She and I had no friendship before!" Shao Wanru said nonchalantly. All she saved was face, and everyone just looked good on the surface. Of course, Shao Wanru was still willing to maintain this good looks for the time being.
She also wants to dig out more secrets from the Tai Fu and the Xingguo Hou Mansion.
As for the madam, when she assassinated her again and again, she no longer regarded her as an elder. The blood lessons of her previous life made her understand that it would be better not to have such a blood relative.
"My wife will harm you!" Qu Le also became uneasy.
"Has she ever harmed me?" Shao Wanru said nonchalantly. He didn't feel the slightest discomfort when mentioning the Madam, and he didn't care much about the Madam.
Since it is no longer about the family companionship of blood, then she does not need to care about the madam. She will only resist the madam's methods more fiercely.
The Madam must have known something about what happened back then. Shao Wanru didn't believe that she knew nothing, but even if she knew something, she was still so mean and vicious to her brothers and sisters, vowing to extirpate herself from the Xingguo Marquis Mansion. The heir of the first family let his side become the bloody mud that paved the road to the second family.
In her last life, she knew nothing and was deceived. How could she let these people manipulate and trample her in this life?
"Princess, is the former prince the madam's biological son?" Yu Jie couldn't help but be surprised. If it was her biological son, how could she have such a mother.
"It doesn't matter whether it is or not!" Shao Wanru twitched the corners of her lips and gave a cold smile, "In her heart, the highest thing is the glory and wealth of the Xingguo Hou Mansion, which she relies on."
With all the glory and wealth, how could the wife care about anything else?
"Fifth sister, please wait a moment!" Zhao Xiran caught up from behind, panting and shouting because he was running so fast.
"Princess, please stay!" The maid who followed her said loudly while supporting her.
Shao Wanru stopped and watched Zhao Xiran walking over in a hurry.
"Sister-in-law, is there anything else?" When Zhao Xiran came closer, Shao Wanru asked calmly, with a pair of watery eyes filled with indifference.
This person is also restless, but if it doesn't concern herself, she is willing to turn a blind eye or close one eye.
"Fifth sister, let me see you off!" Zhao Xiran said with a smile.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Shao Wanru nodded and acted casually. With her current status, it was most appropriate for Zhao Xiran to send her out.
"Fifth sister, don't be angry. Grandma is old and always has some inconsiderate thoughts. She is also very concerned about the marriages of several sisters. She just said some unpleasant things. Please consider it for the sake of grandma's age. Come on, forgive her!" Zhao Xiran followed Shao Wanru out and persuaded her earnestly.
Shao Wanru pursed her lips and said lightly: "So what if I don't want to forgive?"
Zhao Xiran was almost speechless when she choked on one sentence. She had imagined Shao Wanru's many reactions, which could be aggrieved, indifferent, or angry, but she never thought that Shao Wanru would say this outright. Such rebellious words, if such words are known to the censor,
, with her status as Princess Chen, she will definitely be criticized for being unfilial.
"Sister-in-law, do you think what I said is inappropriate?" Shao Wanru said calmly, his lips curved with a hint of leisure, as if he didn't know how disobedient and unfilial what he just said was.
"Fifth sister, please don't say this casually. It will not be good if others hear it, and it may even affect King Chen's reputation!" Zhao Xiran reacted and hurriedly lowered his voice. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. When they reached their side, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"I just told my sister-in-law that she won't spread this word out!" Shao Wanru glanced at Zhao Xiran calmly, with such a calm expression that there was no fear or panic at all.
Zhao Xiran's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt that he had misjudged the Princess Chen in front of him!
Shao Wanru might have cared about this reputation before she got married, but what about Shao Wanru who is now married to King Chen? Do you still care about such a little false reputation?
Besides, what she just said was just a slap in the face of herself. Zhao Xiran was sure that if she revealed a word, her life would not be easy in the future. Judging from some things she found, Princess Chen was already very powerful before she got married. Now, with his back to Prince Chen's Mansion, it's even more different.
Before she got married, Zhao Xiran didn't care about Shao Wanru. She was just a granddaughter who had come back to recognize her ancestors. She wanted to be interested in Shao Yanru. This Miss Shao was the real one with both talent and beauty. Man Jinghua, so she casually plotted against Shao Wanru.
I just didn't expect that she not only failed to deal with Shao Wanru, but even angered Shao Caihuan, so that she not only lost face on the wedding day, but also fell out of favor with the dowager. Then she calmed down and looked carefully, and realized that she was wrong. Miss Shao Wu, who I thought was not very powerful, was actually the most powerful.
Miss Shao Wu, who lives in the Xingguohou Mansion without showing off, lives smoothly even though she is not liked by Mrs. Tai and is plotted by Mrs. Xingguohou. She is also married to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. My dear King Chen.
"Fifth sister... don't worry, I am such a ignorant person!" Zhao Xiran smiled a little awkwardly. He originally thought that the initiative was in his own hands, but now he realized that he actually didn't hold anything in his hands.
Facing the Princess Chen in front of her, she needed to be even more careful.
"Thank you sister-in-law. From now on, the inner courtyard of Xingguohou's Mansion will be dominated by sisters-in-law. However, Mrs. Xingguohou is still being raised in the mountains. She may come down from the mountain at some time. Before I returned to the mansion, I heard that Mrs. Xingguohou and the Dowager Mother are like mother and daughter. After such a long time has passed, a mother will definitely miss her daughter!"
Shao Wanru said calmly.
Zhao Xiran's eyes twitched, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and his eyes became panicked. Mrs. Jiang, the wife of Marquis Xingguo, is not in the Marquis Xingguo Mansion now. She didn't even come out when Shao Huaan got married. This kind of honor and support In fact, no one believes what the body says anymore.
No matter how hard she recovers, she is not so sick that she can't even get up. Why can't she even attend her son's wedding? Because of this, there are a lot of gossips about Mrs. Xingguohou, and she doesn't want Mrs. Jiang to come back. Who wants to have a mother-in-law on their head for no reason?
What's more, she is a careless mother-in-law.
"My mother is recuperating in the mountains. No matter how worried my grandmother is about her health, she will never come back.
of! "Zhao Xiran composed himself and said with a smile.
"Is this what my sister-in-law thinks? Then you have really underestimated Madam Hou. Madam Xingguohou has been able to hold the backyard of Xingguohou Mansion tightly in the palm of her hand for so many years by relying on her friendship with the Dowager Queen. Isn't that right? Most women can do it!" Shao Wanru said extremely calmly.
"What do you mean by the fifth sister..." Zhao Xiran couldn't hold it any longer and asked cautiously.
"What do I mean? I don't have any thoughts. It's just that the second aunt is upset and likes to torment people the most. If the eldest sister-in-law invites the second lady back, I'm afraid the eldest sister-in-law will no longer be able to make the decision!"
Shao Wanru smiled slightly and said pointedly, Zhao Xiran is smart, and it is easy to talk to smart people. Looking at her thoughtful look, you know that she must be thinking of something.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going back first. Thank you, sister-in-law, for seeing me off!" The parking place in front was about to arrive, Shao Wanru turned around and said with a smile.
"I'm not in a hurry, I'll give you one more section!" Zhao Xiran said politely.
"Sister-in-law, please stay. If you go a little further, dust will rise when the carriage turns around. Sister-in-law, stay farther away!" Shao Wanru smiled slightly.
Then he took the two maids to the carriage house. Zhao Xiran moved his feet and wanted to follow. After all, he felt that what Shao Wanru said was reasonable, so he did not forcefully follow.
After watching Shao Wanru take a few steps, Zhao Xiran suddenly became anxious and said loudly: "Fifth sister, I have no ill intentions towards you!"
Shao Wanru stopped for a moment, but then slowly started to move again, "If sister-in-law has anything to do in the future, I will still help if I can, but I hope what she tells me is the truth!"
"Fifth sister, don't worry, I must be telling you the truth!" Zhao Xiran said hurriedly.
"Sister-in-law, Xingguo Hou Mansion is a mansion with secrets. Sister-in-law, it's better to be careful!" Shao Wanru's words were very soft, but they were just enough for Zhao Xiran to hear.
Zhao Xiran frowned and stood there, watching the two maids helping Shao Wanru get into the carriage, and then the low-key and luxurious carriage in Prince Chen's Mansion turned around and slowly passed in front of her. Fortunately, the distance was not too far or too close, just far enough for her to eat dust.
Watching the carriage go away, Zhao Xiran's eyes narrowed slightly.
She is also a cautious person and observes carefully. When the carriage turned in front of her, she could see some dark patterns on the corners of the carriage, with dark patterns in the form of butterfly wings, which looked more like a woman riding in it.
There was no mistress in Prince Chen's palace, and it was impossible to specially prepare a carriage for a woman to ride in. Therefore, the carriage in front of him should have been specially prepared by Prince Chen for Shao Wanru.
This King Chen is definitely different from Shao Wanru. No wonder Shao Wanru can challenge the Tai Madam now. What about her? Is she on the Tai Madam's side or on Shao Wanru's side?
If it were in the past, she might still think that the Tai Madam's side is better. After all, the Tai Madam has great righteousness and is her elder. But now, thinking of the Madam Jiang of Xingguo who is still in Yuhui'an, Zhao Xiran feels that even if she has no regard for the Tai Madam, No matter how good it is, it can't compare to the "mother-daughter" love between Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Tai for so many years.
From this point of view, he does not have the slightest advantage over the Jiang family, or can get close to Princess Chen. Besides, what is the secret of the Xingguo Hou Mansion? What is Shao Wanru checking? Is it the same as what you checked?
