Chapter 494 - Meet the Past Enemy Again (2/2)

“Brother, where are you going?” Shao Yanru came and asked.

“Wen Xichi invites me to join the tea party.” Swinging the fan in his hand, Shao Hua’an, the First Young Master of Duke Xing’s Mansion answered in an elegant manner.

Shao Yanru and Shao Hua’an both looked good. Shao Hua’an was very handsome and gentle and he also enjoyed a good reputation. However, since he missed the last spring exam, he wanted to have a try in the next exam.

Qi Tianyu ranked third in the last exam while Wen Xichi ranked first!

Wen Xichi first worked in the Imperial Academy and two years later, he joined the Ministry of Justice, which seemed that he had a very bright future. Those who entered the official circle with him at the same term were still struggling in the Imperial Academy. Nobody except him was eligible to get promoted to a position in the six ministries.

The six ministries had always been the skeleton frame of the imperial government.

Shao Hua’an and Wen Xichi had grown up together and they didn’t get estranged because of Wen Xichi’s promotion.

Such a serious incident happened in Yuhui Nunnery. However, Wen Xichi, who worked in Ministry of Justice, didn’t go to investigate but still had a mood to hold a tea party. It was quite weird.

“Only you?”

“No. Many masters in the capital city will also attend the party. The tea party has been arranged and we all have been invited earlier. The tea party should be canceled today but Wen Xichi says it is unnecessary to call it off. He claims that he is available in the morning and he only needs to work in the afternoon. Therefore, he asks us to get together in the morning.”

As Shao Hua’an explained, he looked at Shao Yanru, checked around, frowned and said, “Fifth sister is not going to go downhill? Didn’t a terrible incident just happen? It is inappropriate for her, a little girl to stay in the mountain!”

“You hope her to go downhill?” Smiling thoughtfully, Shao Yanru seemed to mean something.

Shao Hua’an threw up his hands and said, “Do I have the right to decide these things?”

Shao Yanru smiled much more brightly. She said impliedly, “We do have no right to decide this but since it is our mansion’s internal affairs, it is not easy for those people to get involved in this.”

“Since you understand, just do it as you wish. I am going to meet my friends now!” Leaving these words, Shao Hua’an hurriedly strode away.

They both understood.

Seeing her brother leaving, Shao Yanru smiled and walked in the mansion. She had to try harder to persuade Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion. Having Rui’an Great Elder Princess as grandma? Her grandma was much more powerful than Shao Wanru’s.

As Rui’an Great Elder Princess needed to take care of Shao Wanru, she now temporarily lived in a room in Shao Wanru’s courtyard while Shao Wanru lived in Shao Yanru’s. Her two servant girls, Qu Le and Yujie also came to serve her. Besides them, there came a new servant girl named Qing’er.

Since she was only a rough maid who was in charge of something inferior, most people didn’t pay more attention to her but only thought it was Rui’an Great Elder Princess who sent her to take care of Shao Wanru.

People in Yuhui Nunnery were questioned again and again while even Shao Wanru whose identity was so special was interrogated twice, not to mention others.

Since Yuhui Nunnery had experienced such a misfortune, the number of pilgrims had halved. Those people just wanted to pray to the Buddha tranquilly and were unwilling to get involved in these issues.

One day, Wen Xichi suddenly came to meet her.

Although Shao Wanru didn’t leave the courtyard, even the silence room, she was clear about what had happened outside. As Qing’er was able to walk around outside, she could obtain a lot of information. Compared with Yujie and Qu Le, she was less conspicuous.

“Ask him the reason why he comes here.” Hearing the message that Wen Xichi asked for meeting her, Shao Wanru paused for a moment and then said to Yujie.

Yujie nodded and quickly she came back, saying, “Master Wen says that he once misunderstood miss and intends to apologize in person.”

Putting down the pen in her hand, Shao Wanru stared at an osmanthus tree in the painting. Paused, she said, “Tell him it is okay. There is no need to apologize and just let go of it.”

Two years ago, Wen Xichi not only doubted her but even had an ulterior motive to get close to her. With time passing by, she had saved those people whom she tried to save and she had requited favors as she could.

In her last life, Wen Xichi had been involved in trouble and lying in the bed now. Moreover, he didn’t rank first in the same exam which Qi Tianyu also joined. Obviously, his life had been changed. Considering the way he treated Gu Xishu, she knew he would not experience the tragedy again. Given that, he now had nothing to do with her.

She had done her best to help him. Since she now was in trouble, if others found out that she had something to do with Wen Xichi, the saying would not do good to them!

She had finished her tasks. And she would have nothing to do with this man no matter what might happen next…
