Chapter 589 - Keep the Door Unlocked, I’m Also Going Out for a Walk! (1/2)

“Qing’er has gone over there. She seems to be very satisfied with Qing’er. I saw Qing’er come out with her face wreathed in smiles just now.” Yujie reported in a low voice. She had received a hint from Qing’er when they exchanged glances just now.

“She’s short of hands at the moment, so it’s good for her to draw a maid of mine over to her side. Besides, Qing’er was sent by my maternal grandma to serve me. In any case, Qing’er is my trusted maid. She could definitely get twice the result with half the effort if she sends someone I trust to check on me!” Shao Wanru said while curving her mouth into a beautiful arc to show an elegant and indifferent smile.

“What does the First Miss intend to do?” Yujie asked nervously.

“She won’t send my maid on a mission before knowing her better. Of course, she will do that at a critical moment! Just wait and see!” Shao Wanru said inadvertently.

“Well, tonight…” Yujie asked hesitantly.

“Let’s wait and see tonight!” Shao Wanru said casually with a smile and a trace of gloom across her eyes. Shao Yanru was waiting for her good show of meeting Chu Qing in secret or sending a letter to Chu Qing, while she was waiting for Shao Yanru to go out tonight.

Based on his deep affection for Shao Yanru, how could Qiu Yu let go of such an opportunity? Shao Yanru was waiting for her show, while she was waiting for Shao Yanru’s show…

“First Miss, an official surnamed Qiu from the Ministry of Justice came to ask you to go over there for an inquiry about what happened today!” Qing’er wiped her sweat off, came in, and reported to Shao Yanru.

“Qiu Yu?” Shao Yanru asked with a frown.

“Yes, it seems to be him. The Ministry of Justice sent him to ask you to go over there for an inquiry!” Qing’er nodded and said.

Shao Yanru frowned in displeasure. She did have something to tell Qiu Yu, but it was better to say it in private. Why did Qiu Yu come to take her over there in such a big way? It actually had nothing to do with her. He should turn to Shao Wanru!

Why did he directly turn to her? What did he mean by asking her to go over there for an inquiry? She did have something to tell him, but she couldn’t say it in front of others. In particular, Qiu Yu turned to her at such an improper time. Why did he turn to her instead of turning to Shao Wanru?

“Did he turn to my Fifth Sister?” Despite her displeasure, Shao Yanru said, while maintaining a gentle smile.

“Yes, but the Fifth Miss instructed Sister Qu Le to say that it’s no big deal and tell Lord Qiu to handle it by himself,” Qing’er replied.

Of course, it was no big deal. It was just an accident, where no one had been injured. At present, it was Qiu Yu who was nervous. It seemed that Qiu Yu intended to please her by handling the case strictly, but it was not what she wanted to see.

“Go and tell them that since my Fifth Sister doesn’t think it a big deal, just let it go!” Shao Yanru thought for a moment and said.

“Yes, I’ll go to tell them right away!” Qing’er said, turned around, and ran out. When she opened the door, she saw two people at the door. One of them was an ordinary official of the Ministry of Justice, and the one standing behind him was Qiu Yu.

When Qiu Yu saw Qing’er come out, his eyes lit up. He winked at the man he brought here. The man hurried forward and asked with a smile, “What did the First Miss say?”

“First Miss said that it’s no big deal and told Lord Qiu to handle it by himself!” Qing’er said to the man outside behind the half-closed door.

“Doesn’t the First Miss have anything else to say?” Qiu Yu continued to ask and waved at his subordinate, reluctant to leave. His subordinate stepped back and gave him the place at the door.

“Uh… I’m afraid it’s inconvenient for the First Miss to meet you…” Qing’er hesitated for a moment, looked up and down at Qiu Yu, and did not dare to refuse him directly.

Was the First Miss afraid that their meeting would be noticed with too many people around?

Qiu Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “Go and report to the First Miss that it’s fine if it’s inconvenient for her to come over now. Please ask if she could come over at night and tell me about the two old maids. The Fifth Miss has sprained her ankle, so it’s inconvenient for her to go out. If the First Miss leaves it to me, I don’t know how to handle it!”

He meant that now there were only two Misses from Duke Xing’s Mansion on the mountain. Since her younger sister had an accident, Shao Yanru should certainly take full charge of the case. Moreover, the Fifth Miss had told him to handle it by himself.

He accepted the trivial case because of Shao Yanru. Now that he hadn’t achieved his goal, he was naturally unwilling to leave. If he missed such a chance to get close to his beloved girl, he would probably have no other chance in the future.

The transfer order from the Ministry of Justice had arrived. In a few days, he was going to leave the Yuhui Nunnery with the rest of the officials of the Ministry of Justice. After that, it would be uneasy for him to meet the First Miss Shao again. So he had to meet the First Miss Shao today in any case, and it would be best if he could figure out how she felt for him.

If she had the same feelings for him, he would send someone to her mansion to ask to marry her after he returned!

“Uh… the First Miss rejected it just now…” Qing’er said with an embarrassed look.

“She rejected it a moment ago. Now please go to make it clear to her. What happened between the First Miss and the Fifth Miss could be minor or significant!” Qiu Yu said coldly with a straight face.

He, who worked in the Ministry of Justice, looked stern and fierce when keeping a straight face. Qing’er was terribly scared by him so that she ran into the courtyard without saying anything.

How bold could an inferior maid be? He could make her do as he wished by scaring her!
