Chapter 459 - Looking for a Concubine Named Xiurong (1/2)

The Empress Dowager had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she kept a smile on her face. It seemed that she was in a good mood.

Shao Wanru seemed to be at a loss and didn’t understand why the Empress Dowager was so kind to her.

Rui’an Great Elder Princess knew that the Empress Dowager really liked Shao Wanru, so she was very happy. She hurriedly asked Wanru to thank the Empress Dowager for her reward. “Change” was just a word, no one would take it seriously.

As for the fact that the Empress Dowager said she liked Shao Wanru’s jade pendant, no one would think that it was true. Great Elder Princess and Old Madam had never touched this jade with their own hands. Of course, they did not know that this jade was the most precious warm jade. It was warm all year round and was good for Chu Liuchen’s illness.

Chu Liuchen was in poor health and rarely appeared in public. Even if he occasionally went into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager, he might not encounter these two people. They did not know that the jade pendant of this warm jade was owned by Chu Liuchen. At this time, no one thought that he had something to do with this matter.

Old Madam frowned and looked at Shao Wanru. She didn’t like the scene in front of her at all.

How nice it would be if the favored one was her eldest granddaughter!

Originally, the eldest granddaughter was the most outstanding one in the whole mansion and was favored by her. But why did this little granddaughter get the first one?

When Rui’an Great Elder Princess glanced at Old Madam, she found that her face was not good, so she asked with a sneer, “Doesn’t Old Madam like Wanru being favored by Empress Dowager?”

“Of course I like her. For Wanru to be favored by Empress Dowagers is the blessing of the entire Duke Xing’s Mansion!” Old Madam explained with a smile on her face.

“Then why did you frown just now?” Great Elder Princess disdained Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion, so she spoke more impolitely.

“Great Elder Princess, why are you so aggressive? What else do you want us to do? No one wants the affair of Qinghua and Big Boss!”

Old Madam’s eyes turned red, and she spoke with a grievance. Then with the handkerchief in her hands, she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.

She was saying that Rui’an Great Elder Princess was focusing on the past and making trouble for no reason. Shao Wanru lowered her head and showed a trace of irony on her face. Her grandmother would also pretend to be pitiful in the face of the Empress Dowager.

“Well, well, Rui’an, it’s really not anyone’s fault. No one wants this to happen. Forget it, it’s over. Now that I see my lovely granddaughter and grandson, I don’t want to argue about it anymore. Otherwise, how can they take it away?” said Empress Dowager, unable to bear it.

Great Elder Princess still wanted to say something. But Shao Wanru reached out and pulled her sleeves.

“Empress Dowager, I don’t care. I just want to see them well, and that kind of thing won’t happen to them again.” Rui’an Great Elder Princess stopped competing for victory and just lowered her head bitterly.

“Don’t worry, there won’t be such things anymore. The two children will grow up safely. If such things happen again and force the two children to run away, I will make the decision and give them to you.”

The Empress Dowager made the final decision.

“Thank you, Empress Dowager!” Rui’an Great Elder Princess was very happy. She stood up and bowed to the Empress Dowager.

The Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion looked a little terrible. It was not because she didn’t want to give up Shao Wanru and her brother, but if such a thing really happened, the whole Duke Xing’s Mansion would be shamed. Her grandson and granddaughter wouldn’t be safe in their mansion, and they were forced to be given to their grandmother. What a disgrace!

“Empress Dowager, don’t worry. They won’t be in any danger. I’ll definitely treat them like treasures.”

Madam Dowager had to stand up and respectfully made a promise to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand and gestured to indicate that they should do away with the etiquette. Then, she asked them to sit down again. She looked back at Shao Wanru’s face and said with a smile, “I still want to talk to your two elders. You can go to the side hall and sit there. If you feel bored, you can go to my palace and have a look!”

Shao Wanru looked at Rui’an Great Elder Princess with hesitation.

Great Elder Princess nodded to her with a smile. “Quickly express your thanks to Empress Dowager!”

At this time, she indeed had things to do. She had to snatch the rights of Shao Wanru’s marriage from the hands of Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion. It was not good for Zhuozhuo to listen here.

“Thank you very much, Empress Dowager!” Shao Wanru stood up and said softly.

The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile. A palace maid came over and led Wanru to the side hall.

Seeing the tacit communication between Shao Wanru and Rui’an Great Elder Princess, the face of Madam Dowager of Duke Xing became more and more gloomy. She was the real elder, but not a patch on Grandma. She felt wronged and disgusted and increasingly felt that Shao Wanru was the same as her mother. They didn’t know who relatives were and who they should be close to.

The Empress Dowager was here, so Old Madam couldn’t say anything. She even forced a smile on her face.

The Empress Dowager’s side hall was very big. There was the door of the main hall in front. The door on the side came from the main hall. It was much smaller than the main entrance.

As soon as they entered the door of the side hall, the palace maid who led the way made a deep bow to the handsome young man sitting there.
