Chapter 512 - Shao Yanru Couldnt Get Back the Silence Room, So She Chose to Live in the Main Room (1/2)

“Fifth Sister, I’m going to live in the Yuhui Nunnery these days and I want to live in the original yard. May I ask you to let me stay in this yard and the silence room for three days? I’ll leave after three days!”

Shao Yanru asked softly. Her attitude was mild and her smile was friendly. She just wanted to ask for her own yard back. It was reasonable and natural.

“This… I have all my personal things temporarily placed here. I’m afraid…” Shao Wanru looked at the silence room with hesitation.

Shao Yanru was also looking around. Except for a few scrolls in a big book tank, there seemed to be nothing special about the rest.

“Fifth Sister, if you are worried about these paintings, you can take them back first. After three days, I will give the room back to you.” Shao Yanru’s smile became more sincere.

“Big Sister, I’m afraid this won’t work. I made a vow in front of the Buddha and said that I would pray for blessings for my parents in the nunnery in the future. I would stay here at night and cultivate here during the day. I will spend the rest of my time here, except for attending religious ceremonies for my parents.”

Shao Wanru said guiltily, “If I had known that Big Sister would be coming up to the mountain, I would not have made such a big vow that day. But now, I have made a promise!”

Since she had made a vow in front of the Buddha, she would not move out no matter what happened. If she gave the silence room to Shao Yanru, it would be reasonable. But if Shao Yanru asked Shao Wanru to move out, she would be seen as being rude.

Even though Shao Yanru was an astute person, she was so angry that her expression changed.

“Fifth Sister, I just want to live here temporarily. It is just for a few days, uncle and aunt won’t blame us!” She gritted her teeth, tried to suppress the anger in her heart and said with a smile.

She said that she had made a vow. But she felt that Shao Wanru was reluctant to give up the personal things in this place and that was why she came up with such a high-sounding reason!

“Big Sister, how can we deceive my parents secretly with such a thing. I have made a vow for my father. That’s what we should do. Besides, it was made in front of the Buddha. So we cannot treat it casually. If Buddha blames us, then the whole Duke Xing’s Mansion will be in trouble,” Shao Wanru said with a serious look.

Shao Yanru was so angry that her heart was about to burst. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, fearing that she would not be able to control herself and beat up Shao Wanru. She had already promised someone. She was almost certain that she would succeed, yet she was rejected. Shao Wanru even put it in such a way that implied that she was trying to deceive the elders.

“Fifth Sister, if that’s the case, I can stay in my room for three days, can’t I?” Shao Yanru said gently. If it hadn’t been for the whitening of her fingers that were holding the handkerchief, it would be hard to tell that she was already very angry.

Shao Wanru thought for a while and said with a smile, “Since you want to live here, your original room is fine. I have not been in that room. If you want to use it, you can stay with me. It’s great to have one more person to accompany me!”

Shao Yanru was really a tough person to deal with. Her yard was occupied by Shao Wanru and Shao Wanru had given her an unreasonable reason before. Now Shao Wanru seemed to have come up with a reasonable excuse to deliberately occupy her yard and her silence room and she was still able to hide her anger well.

From this point of view, Shao Yanru should not be underestimated.

Shao Wanru had a smile on her face, but she was wary of Shao Yanru. She could keep a firm hold on her temper that generally could not be done by others. Shao Wanru should be warier of her.

Shao Yanru stood up and said softly, “Thank you, Fifth Sister. I’ll go to my main house and have a look. I have not stayed there for a long time, so I have to clean up!”

“Big Sister. you’ve just brought a maid here. There are too few people. I’ll ask Yujie and Qing’er to help you. Qing’er is a servant girl who does all the odd jobs. She is good at doing these works!” Shao Wanru stood up as well. She was as sincere as Shao Yanru.

“I don’t want to bother Fifth Sister’s people. When I was on the mountain, I cleaned the room occasionally. There is only one room, so it’s OK.”

Shao Yanru said politely and her eyes turned to the servant girl who was standing beside Shao Wanru called Yujie.

She had inquired about everything regarding Shao Wanru in detail. Yujie was brought by Shao Wanru from Jiangzhou. From the looks of her, she was loyal to Shao Wanru. It was said that the servant girl named Qing’er was sent by Rui’an Great Elder Princess when Shao Wanru was on the mountain. The Princess wanted her to look after Shao Wanru and do the rough work. So Qing’er was just a servant girl who did all the menial work.

If she had to choose, she would rather choose the servant girl named Qing’er.

“How can I let you do it by yourself? If you want to do it yourself, I’ll help you. We’ll clean it up together slowly. It is my fault that I occupied your silence room. If I let you clean up your room by yourself, I won’t have the face to see grandma tomorrow!”

Shao Wanru smiled more sincerely. She asked Yujie to bring a rag over, as if she was going to clean the main room for Shao Yanru.

Looking at Shao Wanru’s behavior, Shao Yanru immediately made a decision. “Fifth Sister, there’s no need. It has been a long day and I can’t do anything now. May I trouble you to borrow the servant girl Qing’er to clean up the main room with Shuqi!”

Shuqi was the first servant girl who was brought up to the mountain by Shao Yanru. At this moment, when she heard Shao Yanru’s words, she walked out from behind Shao Yanru and bowed respectfully to Shao Wanru. Then, she stood behind Shao Yanru in a well-behaved manner.
