Chapter 496 Did the Former Emperor Have a Posthumous Child?

She was not sure what had happened to Rui’an Great Elder Princess in her last life. As it was a distant memory, she now was a bit confused. She was only a painter who entered the palace to paint for the Emperor’s harem. Moreover, she was a temporary staff so she had no access to those matters of the imperial family.

But she felt that it was because of a woman that the incident happened to Rui’an Great Elder Princess in the end. It seemed that the woman had something to do with Yuhui Nunnery. That day, two palace maids were gossiping aside secretly while she hid in the bushes to avoid meeting domineering and arrogant Shao Yanru. It was during that time that she heard something.

“The former Emperor… Great Elder Princess felt pity for… A woman surnamed Mo confessed… Yuhui Nunnery…” Many pieces of memory were dug out.

Mo Qiuyi had been her neighbor for a long time but she had never thought of this matter. Now, these pieces of memory came to her all of a sudden.

According to her memory and her deduction, Mo Qiuyi might be the one who ratted out Great Elder Princess in her last life!

However, Shao Wanru could not figure out what rebellious thing Great Elder Princess had done and how a stranger could rat her out.

They were not in the same boat. On one hand, this woman, Mo Qiuyi had been in the mountain for years and had been peaceful and docile; on the other hand, she had been helping Yuhui Nunnery handle some little things and had seldom walked out of her own courtyard. Thus, the Great Elder Princess should not have anything to do with her.

However, Mo Qiuyi was too suspicious that she could not think of other people!

Who was her hometown friend? Why did she keep asking Great Elder Princess to take her away? Would she find Great Elder Princess and also beg her to take her hometown friend away in the last life? A terrible incident just happened in Yuhui Nunnery and nothing had been found. Would Mo Qiuyi’s hometown friend have something to do with this?

If so, then she must pay more attention to this suspicious so-called hometown friend!

Shao Wanru’s eyes looked darker. No matter whether Mo Qiuyi led to the end of Rui’an Great Elder Princess in her last life, this woman was suspicious enough.

“When will grandma come?” Taking a deep breath, Shao Wanru appeased her anxiety with a trace of indifference in her watery eyes.

During these days, Rui’an Great Elder Princess had always come to her and talked with her. They both got along well with each other and they both were content with this peaceful and happy life!

“Great Elder Princess should have come! Let me have a look!” Qing’er quickly ran away. She was the youngest and most lively one among those servant girls. She looked innocent but actually she was sent by Chu Liuchen.

She actually was a servant girl who knew martial arts. Chu Liuchen sent her here to protect Shao Wanru. If something happened, she could resort to others and then secret guards owned by Chu Liuchen, whom Qing’er could also command would come soon.

“Miss, the woman stops Great Elder Princess!” Qing’er’s voice suddenly sounded at the entrance.

Shao Wanru strode towards the door while Yujie immediately took an umbrella and held it for Shao Wanru to keep rain off.

It had been drizzling all day long, which dampened the ground. Not tens of feet away from the entrance knelt Mo Qiuyi, looking embarrassed. She was kowtowing, crying and begging Rui’an Great Elder Princess.

Rui’an Great Elder Princess looked indifferent but actually was very kind-hearted. Seeing such a little girl kneeling down in front of her, she could not help asking about her.

Shao Wanru was far away from them. When she walked towards them, she found Mo Qiuyi had raised her head and begun to whisper in Rui’an Great Elder Princess’ ear.

Shao Wanru’s intuition told her that something was getting wrong. Quickly picking up a stone beside her, she broke her female discipline and threw it to Mo Qiuyi.

Seeing this, Qing’er also picked up another bigger stone and threw it to Mo Qiuyi after weighing it in her hand.

Shao Wanru missed. However, the noise that the stone dropped aside also shocked those people. They looked around and wanted to see who was so rude.

“Great Elder Princess, you have to save her because she is your…” Mo Qiuyi ignored the stone but continued to whisper in Great Elder Princess’ ear.

She was interrupted and screamed when feeling hurt. Her body was shot sideways by the stone and she almost fell down.

It was Qing’er!

Seeing her best-loved granddaughter coming, Rui’an Great Elder Princess raised her head and showed a warm smile, then she ignored Mo Qiuyi and didn’t care about what Mo Qiuyi had told her at all.

Mo Qiuyi realized that something was wrong! However, even if she wanted to tell Rui’an Great Elder Princess the truth secretly, she had no chance to do that but only could glare at Shao Wanru with hatred. “Shao Wanru ruins my plan again!”

“Grandma, does she ask you to take a person downhill?” Shao Wanru hurriedly walked towards her and asked gently.

“She sounds pitiful!” Rui’an Great Elder Princess lightly touched Shao Wanru’s head and when finding her hair was wet, she said, “Why do you come here? It is raining. It is easy to catch a cold if getting wet!”
