Chapter 26 Aunt Shui, Because of You (1/2)
Seeing that she used such a dignified expression and statement to say such a thing, Shui Ruolan was shocked. She stretched out to reach Qin Wanru's hand, took her to the stool nearby and sat down, she also sat down in the opposite side of Qin Wanru.
”Who wants to hurt you and your aunt?”
”Has Aunt Shui stopped to manage things outside and asked Qionghua not to report what happened outside to you ever since she committed to the family temple in the past few days?” Qin Wanru asked.
”She wanted to have some quiet time for a few days!” Shui Ruolan's eyes started to wander.
”Aunt Shui should know about what happened between my big sister and Qi Tianyu. My sister wants to play up to the Duke Yong in the city, so my mother instigated Nanny Fang to tell me that I am the one that Qi Tianyu wants to marry, and asked me to agree. She also told me to hide it from Qi Tianyu, so he could be surprised when he lifted the curtain on my head when we were getting married!”
Qin Wanru said it calmly, as if she was talking about something of others. But the true meaning hid in the words made Shui Ruolan shocked.
She was not Qin Wanru as before, nor a child, so she could understand many things. ”How··· how can it be? Qi Tianyu must like your sister. When they were together in the past, they were quite affectionate to each other. If you really marry to him, Qi Tianyu must hate you for the rest of his life!”
”Not just hate, they may ruin me forever.” Qin Wanru bowed her head slightly, and hooked her lips because of sarcasm. They had done it in the last life, and they succeeded.
”Then··· then what to do···” Shui Ruolan nervously stared at Qin Wanru, and said with trembled voice.
”I found something wrong, so I asked someone to smash the bridal sedan chair, and found the secret letters between my sister and Duke Yong, then Qi Tianyu believed in me. After the scene got worse, the two families could only break off the marital engagement!” Qin Wanru simply said.
Shui Ruolan finally felt relieved when she found that Qin Wanru was not really fooled. But she suddenly asked with a strange look, ”Didn't your father know about it?”
Shui Ruolan could tell that Mrs. Qin was not very good with Qin Wanru, whilst she was just a person who lived in the house of Ningyuan Army General.
”My father··· should know it too!” Qin Wanru lifted her head and looked at Shui Ruolan, biting her red lip slightly. ”My father used to love me too, and he should have disagreed with such a thing, but he didn't say anything this time when he looked at the actions of my mother and big sister.”
”Why?” Shui Ruolan's face was full of anger. She felt that Qin Huaiyong was not such a person because they were raised up together since childhood. If they were not engaged respectively before, it should be Shui Ruolan who would marry to Qin Huaiyuan.
”Aunt Shui, because of you!” Qin Wanru looked at Shui Ruolan, wished to speak out but stopped on a second thought.
”Me?” Shui Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and did not understand.
”Do you think that things were too coincident? The letter sent by Duke Yong should arrive ten days ago, then something happened to you, and you entered the family temple. After that Nanny Fang agitated me to declare that I should be marrying, she also said that I was the one that Qi Tianyu really liked and wanted to marry. She told me to cry about it in front of grandma when my sister immediately came over and agreed, and my father just stood by and watched!”
Qin Wanru slowly said.
The voice of the girl was a little bit soft, and it seemed to be particularly clear in this sullen family temple. Every single word in the ear, sounded with some unspeakable loneliness.
Shui Ruolan's face was blue, then white, and there was anger aroused between her eyes that she could not control. She didn't feel anything if they remained ambiguous, but once they were clear, she seemed to be suddenly aware of what happened.
”Mrs. Qin plotted against me?” Shui Ruolan suddenly stood up. ”Not only that, but also made your father feel guilty, and didn't even want to care about anything of you!”
The latter sentence was not a question, but a direct affirmation.
Thinking of her innocence had become a leverage of Mrs. Qin, she couldn't control the anger at that time, even though she usually seemed to be a quiet person.
Her temper was quiet, and always maintained that way in daily life, but it did not mean that she was obedient. Shui Ruolan was not obedient, and she could be really furious when she was irritated sometimes.
Like right now. She was biting her teeth.
Qin Wanru also stood up, stretched out to grasp Shui Ruolan's sleeve and gently pacified her. ”Aunt Shui you don't have to be mad. I have asked Qionghua when I was in the yard that the dishes she had were different from yours. Someone deliberately skimped your dishes.”
The evidence was useless to others, but it was useful for Shui Ruolan.
”It must be Mrs. Qin who did this!” Shui Ruolan now understood everything. When she thought that she had been pushed to this dilemma by Mrs. Qin, she was so mad that her lips started to tremble.
”Aunt Shui, if you are planning to be so mild from now, it will only make my mother happy, and after that··· no one will protect my grandmother anymore. You know that my mother has never liked my grandmother, and my father may feel guilty to my mother because of this. So she could do anything she wants in the future!”
Qin Wanru's eyes flashed a glimmer of light. She said gently when looking at Shui Ruolan.
”I won't let her get what she wants!” Shui Ruolan said with hatred and turned and went out by pulling Qin Wanru. ”Come on, let's go and see your father and ask for an explanation! And let him see the true face of Mrs. Qin!”
Qin Wanru grabbed Shui Ruolan. ”Aunt Shui, wait, my father won't believe it!”
”Ask Qionghua to check in the kitchen, she will eventually find evidence!” Shui Ruolan said.
”Miss, Second Miss, I'm back!”Qionghua's voice suddenly came from outside the door. They both turned back and saw Qionghua walking in with excessive panting.
