Chapter 488 - A Person Bringing Bad Luck, The So-Called Relative! (2/2)

Looking at her most satisfied granddaughter acting like this, Old Madam felt more and more pity for her. She took the fan from her hands and said, “Just let servant girls do it. You’re a Miss. How can you do such a thing? You’d better chat with me!”

“Okay!” Shao Yanru said happily. Her charming and obedient look was totally different from before when she was in front of Madam of Duke Xing.

Shao Yanru sat down beside Old Madam and said to Nanny Yu with a smile, “Nanny Yu, if there is anything new going on outside recently, please tell grandmother to amuse her!”

Old Madam liked to hear some gossip outside to kill time. If people around went out and encountered some funny things, they would come to Old Madam, and Old Madam would reward them when she heard something interesting. Therefore, when Old Madam’s servants went out, they would inquire about some strange things and talk about it in front of Old Madam.

“There are some things, but they are not so good!” Nanny Yu said with a smile.

“What do you mean by being not so good?” Shao Yanru asked in surprise.

Nanny Yu couldn’t speak for a moment because of the question, so she could only look at Old Madam.

Remembering what Nanny Yu had heard before, Old Madam said unhappily, “Yes, there is nothing good. A person bringing bad luck appears in our mansion, so nothing good will happen!”

Shao Yanru was shocked and asked with a pale face, “A person bringing bad luck? Who, who is it? I heard that such a person will indeed fall on evil days!”

“It’s Shao Wanru. She’s just the person bringing bad luck. Why did we recognize her at that time? It will also be good for her to stay in Qin’s Mansion!”

Old Madam patted the table angrily and sighed.

“What happened?” Shao Yanru became more and more surprised.

“Obviously your uncle and aunt died because of her. She brought death signs to her parents, and next, it’s time to bring death signs to the other elders. It’s said that she has a hard life. Oh, how could there be such a person who was so cruel to kill her parents with her misfortune? It is fortunate that she has been in the Yuhui Nunnery in the past three years and her natal destiny has been suppressed by the Bodhisattva. If she comes back, she will…”

Old Madam felt a headache. If it was possible, she really didn’t want this granddaughter to come back. It was a mistake to admit her, but now she could not refuse her coming back. Thinking that the three-year deadline would come soon, Old Madam became more worried, and thought about how to prevent her from coming back.

“Grandmother, these are all rumors. You cannot take them seriously!” Shao Yanru persuaded in a soft voice.

“How can they be rumors? Look, your elder uncle was originally fine, and he would not get into any trouble, but he died because of her. Your elder aunt was also blessed with the status of royal Princess, but she couldn’t stand Shao Wanru’s bad luck and died. In the past, Hao’er almost lost his life again, and your elder brother’s yard was burned. All these things happened because of her, a person bringing bad luck. Oh, damn it!”

Old Madam pressed her fist against her forehead, feeling extremely angry.

Without Rui’an Great Elder Princess, she could punish her as she wanted, but Rui’an Great Elder Princess meddled in this. Even if Old Madam suppressed them with her status as an elder, she could only suppress Shao Wanru. She couldn’t let Rui’an Great Elder Princess dread, and might even irritate Rui’an Great Elder Princess.

Old Madam had no choice but to worry about this.

Shao Yanru tugged at Old Madam’s sleeve and said familiarly, “Grandmother, forget it. They are just rumors. They can’t be true and no one can prove them. They just say them carelessly. Grandmother, Fifth Sister is going to celebrate her birthday. What kind of gifts are you going to give her? Please let me have a look and I can prepare my gifts according to it!”

“She still wants to celebrate? What? Doesn’t know what she is doing on the mountain!” Old Madam said in a bad mood.

“Grandmother, it is I who want to celebrate Fifth Sister’s birthday. She’ll come back soon. If I don’t celebrate her birthday, our sisters will be estranged from each other!” Shao Yanru said in a coquettish tone.

Shao Wanru would come back? This sentence hit Old Madam hard on the heart. She had been worrying about Shao Wanru’s fate these days. Now, after hearing Shao Yanru’s words, she was not in the mood to chat with her favorite granddaughter and her face turned cold at once. She couldn’t let Shao Wanru come back, otherwise all the people in this mansion would lose their life!

“Why does she come back? Let her stay in Yuhui Nunnery forever!” Old Madam said coldly.

“Grandmother, we can’t do that. She has not made any mistakes. How could she stay on the mountain forever? What will other people think of our Duke Xing’s Mansion?”

Shao Yanru raised her head and said in shock. She looked at Old Madam carefully and dared not to act like a spoiled child anymore.

“Why can’t she stay on the mountain forever? Her reputation is not good!” Seeing that her eldest granddaughter was still speaking for her youngest granddaughter, Old Madam became angrier and angrier.

“Her bad reputation was a rumor. It’s fake!” Shao Yanru still defended Shao Wanru.

“Fake can also be true! Ru’er, you don’t have to worry about it. If you want to give gifts, just do it. I’ll ask someone to send it to her!” Shao Yanru reasserted herself and finally reminded Old Madam. Old Madam’s eyes lit up…

She indeed had a gift for Shao Wanru!
