Chapter 297 - Madam, Youve Been Framed up (1/2)

“Countess Yong asks to meet me?” Shui Ruolan was dumbfounded for a while, and then put down the list in her hand and asked with surprise. Every time Countess Yong came to meet Madam Di or Madam Dowager, and had never asked to meet Shui Ruolan.

“Yes, she asks to meet you!” The maid nodded repeatedly.

Shui Ruolan looked towards Qin Wanru, and anxiously frowned. “Why does she come to meet me?”

“She might feel guilty!” Qin Wanru said meaningfully with a slight smile.

“Guilty?” Shui Ruolan didn’t understand for a moment, and even frowned more.

“Do you remember Miss Wang framed me up in the palace? As long as Miss Wang was not crazy, she would not frame up someone whom she just met, unless there are grudges between her and me!” Qin Wanru calmly analyzed for Shui Ruolan.

She did not tell what had happened outside the palace gate. This matter involved too many people. Since everyone considered it a murder targeted at Chu Liuchen, so be it.

“Does Countess Yong know this Miss Wang?” Shui Ruolan said with annoyance. If there was anyone who intended to frame up Qin Wanru and had any grievances against Qin Wanru, it was Duke Yong’s Mansion except for Madam Di. Those of Duke Yong’s Mansion couldn’t bear to see Shui Ruolan and Qin Wanru live a good life, so they would definitely frame up Qin Wanru!

Shui Ruolan had asked Qin Wanru why Wang Yishu framed her up as soon as they met, but Qin Wanru just vaguely said that she didn’t know because she did not want to involve Shui Ruolan in this kind of thing. Now it corresponded to what Qin Wanru said before!

“I suppose so. I heard that Countess Yong and Madam of Duke Xing had a good personal relationship, so Countess Yong naturally knows Miss Wang, the niece of Duke Xing!” Qin Wanru deliberately diverted the topic.

“I see. No wonder Miss Wang framed you up as soon as she met you. It turns out that she did that because of Countess Yong!” Shui Ruolan was distracted as Qin Wanru expected. After thinking for a moment, Shui Ruolan said angrily, “What should we do now?”

“Mother, you can meet her first!” Qin Wanru stood up with a slight smile and said lightly, “If she has brought some gifts, you might as well accept them!”

“Ask Countess Yong to come here!” Shui Ruolan considered her reasonable, sat up straight slightly and said.

The maid promised and left.

Qin Wanru whispered to Yujie, and Yujie nodded and also left. After telling Shui Ruolan to pay attention to something, Qin Wanru went to the back of a large screen and hid there. She also wanted to hear what Countess Yong would say.

What happened at the gate of the palace was definitely related to Duke Yong’s Mansion!

Countess Yong looked extremely kind when coming in. Someone ignorant might consider Shui Ruolan was the daughter who had married into the Qin’s Mansion from Duke Yong’s Mansion.

After they sat down, Countess Yong pushed a gift list over with a smile and said cheerfully, “I heard that Madam of Duke Xing is going to officially adopt Miss Qi as her daughter. I have nothing else to give your mansion, so I’ve brought some gifts. ”

The kind smile and the courteous tone made Countess Yong look like a completely different person, which was quite surprising.

“How, how can I accept them? Besides, this is the joyful event of Duke Xing’s Mansion and the Qi’s Mansion, with nothing to do with our mansion!” Shui Ruolan did not reach for the gift list, but refused politely with a smile.

“How can it have nothing to do with your mansion? Everyone knows that Madam of Duke Xing chose Miss Qi to be her daughter in your mansion. If Miss Qi is not in your mansion, there won’t be such a joyful event!” Countess Yong said cheerfully. Although she sounded reasonable, it was farfetched anyway.

But her words made sense indeed!

“But it’s…” Shui Ruolan smiled hesitantly, seemingly not knowing what to say for a while.

“Madam Shui, don’t hesitate to accept them. Our mansions are closely related, since we are going to unite by marriage. Anyway it’s the joyful event of both our mansions, and we should celebrate it. Being adopted as the daughter of Madam of Duke Xing is the blessing Miss Qi met in your mansion. I come here today to join in the joyful event and hope to be blessed with happiness! ”

Countess Yong said in an increasingly amicable tone, and this reason became increasingly convincing. At this time, Shui Ruolan could no longer refuse.

“Since you say so, I’ll accept them. Thank you, Madam!” Shui Ruolan smiled with kindness, reached out to take the list, and even became more cheerful after glancing over the list.

Countess Yong involuntarily showed a trace of scorn in her eyes. She thought that Shui Ruolan really came from a humble family as she expected, since Shui Ruolan beamed with joy at the sight of the gift list. But it was better this way, because it would be easier for her to inquire about information. Countess Yong was terribly frightened during these days. The incident happened suddenly, affected the overall situation and developed too quickly, so that Countess Yong was terribly frightened.

Originally, it was only a matter of framing up Qin Wanru, but led to the major event of Prince Chen being assassinated. After knowing this, Countess Yong almost passed out with fear. At that time, she turned to Madam of Duke Xing to find a solution, but was told that Madam of Duke Xing was sick after reaching Duke Xing’s Mansion.
