Chapter 36 Miss Qi Who Thought She Had Gotten Her Way (1/2)

”Second Miss Qin, Miss Qi had invited you to join her in her visit to Eldest Miss Qin tomorrow to be a witness!” said Chun Yi, Qi Rongzhi's personal maid, with a smile as she bowed to Qin Wanru. She had come to convey a message for her mistress.

”What witness?” Qin Wanru asked without betraying any emotions.

”Tomorrow, my young mistress would be going to Elder Miss Qin's room to look for evidence. If they were to get into an argument and someone questions them, we would like Second Miss Qin to testify honestly what exactly happened,” said Chun Yi with a smile.

”Is your young mistress going to find trouble with my elder sister?” asked Qin Wanru, frowning.

The question was so direct that Chun Yi found it too awkward to answer. She forced a chuckle and continued to explain, saying, ”It's not that my young mistress is going to find trouble with Elder Miss Qin, but she just wanted to know if Eldest Miss Qin was speaking the truth regarding her breaking her engagement with our young master, as well as what happened today!”

”So she is still going there to find trouble after all!” said Qin Wanru impassively as she lifted her eyes to look straight at Chun Yi.

Chun Yi was cornered and did not know how to respond to Second Miss Qin, it was almost impossible to answer her.

”Go tell your young mistress that I've to take care of my grandmother tomorrow and have no time to accompany her to make trouble. Tell her not to make trouble too because this is our General's Mansion. While Miss Qi can do as she pleases in her own house and no could stop her, this is our house and my mother and elder sister would not allow do as she pleases.”

The look in Qin Wanru's eyes was cold, indicating that what she said was a warning to Qi Rongzhi for her to keep from creating trouble. Otherwise, both Mrs. Qin and Qin Yuru would not let her off.

What was said had somehow upset Chun Yi. She bowed to Qin Wanru and turned to take her to leave in frustration.

”Miss, would Chun Yi complain to Miss Qi about you?” asked Qin Yue. Qing Yue was becoming worried, seeing that Chun Yi was provoked to anger.

”I'm sure she would!” said Qin Wanru, nodding her head, as she turned to walk towards her yard.

”What should we do then? Based on Miss Qi's character, wouldn't she storm over immediately?” asked Qing Yue as she followed closely behind Qin Wanru. She was really anxious now, knowing how spoilt and wilful Miss Qi usually was. She was never kind to Qin Wanru, but always vents her frustration on her. Unfortunately, even Mrs. Qin and Elder Miss Qin always sided with Miss Qi and as a result, Qin Wanru was always wronged.

”This time, however, she won't!” Qin Wanru said with confidence. Qi Rongzhi was not a dim wit. She used to have her way in the General's Mansion because she had Mrs. Qin and Qin Yuru backing her. However, she had lost her support from Mrs. Qin and Qin Yuru by now.

Moreover, she was no longer the Qin Wanru who was used to be an easy target.

”Then I suppose she wouldn't come to look for you, that's good!” said Qing Yue, feeling relieved as she patted her chest.

”She will definitely come to look for me!” said Qin Wanru as she entered the room, followed by Qing Yue who was taken aback by her words. ”Miss Qin, did you say Miss Qi will come to you looking for trouble?”

”Yes, she will tomorrow!” Qin Wanru said with a smile, then made herself comfortable sitting down on a chair and taking up a book to read, which happened to be one on medicine again.

Puzzled, Qing Yue remained by Qin Wanru's side and asked, ”Will Miss Qin go to Old Grandma's place tomorrow just so she could stop you?”

It was because Qing Yue overheard Qin Wanru saying that she planned to visit Old Grandmother tomorrow.

”She would naturally go there, perhaps even she will arrive before we do. She will be trying to persuade grandma to accompany her to confront Qin Yuru. She is looking for someone to back her up!” said Qin Wanru as her smile faded and she opened up the book in her hands and rested her eyes on a picture in the book.

She was not worried about what Qi Rongzhi was going to do. In fact, she would make use of Qi Rongzhi's anger to work to her advantage.

”Are you planning to go after all, Miss?” Qing Yue queried anxiously.

”Certainly! Since Qi Rongzhi tried so hard to get me to accompany her, I will take it as I'm going to enjoy some entertainment! It's even better if the matter is being blown out of proportion,” said Qin Wanru. There were only a handful of people in her house who knew that she was not Mrs. Qin's real daughter. She would be happy to proclaim this information through Qi Rongzhi's mouth to the outsiders.

Coming to the book on medicine, she was actually staring at a picture of a herb that looked very familiar, yet she could not recall what it was after scrutinizing it. She widened her eyes and looked at the footnote beside the picture which said, ”July Fragrance”, which grows in bunches of three, golden in color, tiny flower, branches out from the main stem into three branches, tapers at the end, blooms during July and August, which gave the name ”July Fragrance.”

The root, stem, and flowers of July Fragrance could all be made into medicine for people who had difficulty in breathing and coughed blood!

Why did this picture look so familiar? Yet she was unable to put a finger to it. She vaguely felt that it had to do with something of importance, however, she was unable to pinpoint what exactly it was. Rubbing her forehead, she realized that in this life, she had totally no impression of certain things about her previous life, while she had some vague memories of other things.

This ”July Fragrance” was a vague memory she had of a very important thing from her previous life.
