Chapter 620 - Shao Yanru in A Panic (1/2)

“Thank you, Big Sister. Father didn’t leave any luxury things for me and Hao’er. They are just things for me and Hao’er to miss them, which are not good enough to be displayed in front of the Emperor!” After a long while, Shao Wanru reached out to gently touched her forehead and said in a light way.

The invisible strangeness in the air immediately faded away in her faint voice.

However, such fading made Shao Yanru want to spit out blood. The atmosphere just now seemed to cause something to happen, but it just ended up with a casual sentence. Her goal had not been achieved, which really made her not reconciled.

“Fifth Sister, whatever will be fine, as long as it can remind Emperor of Eldest Uncle!” Shao Yanru felt a little embarrassed and annoyed for no reason. She gritted her teeth secretly, but the look on her face was still gentle.

“Big Sister, you can leave now!” Shao Wanru evaded the issue, and then suddenly expelled the guest.

“You…” Although Shao Yanru had the best self-restraint, she couldn’t bear this anymore now. She suddenly stood up and showed anger in her eyes, “Fifth Sister, I am really for your own good. Why don’t you accept my kindness?”

“Thank you for your kindness, Big Sister. You have always said that it is all for my good, but since you did for my good, I have been in trouble. This time, I almost lost my life, so I really don’t dare to accept your kindness!” Shao Wanru said calmly. It sounded as if she was talking about someone else’s affairs, and her pink face was calm.

Such an expression and words irritated Shao Yanru, but she smiled and said, “Fifth Sister, just as I said, that thing really had nothing to do with me. The emperor also asked the people of the Ministry of Justice to go back, so it was clear that it was not me. It was Qi Rongzhi and Qin Yuru who did this. As for why they combine against you, I suppose you also know the reason. You have been treated like this for so many years!”

Because of anger, her words sounded extremely unkind, which were very different from the image that Shao Yanru struggled to present in front of others.

When finishing her words, Shao Yanru also realized that it was inappropriate. She wanted to say something else as a remedy but was interrupted by Shao Wanru rudely, “Big Sister, you are right. The Ministry of Justice now goes to neither Duke Xing’s Mansion nor Duke Yong’s Mansion, but does this mean that it has nothing to do with you? Big Sister, I will keep investigating it. If I find out who wanted to hurt me, no matter who it is, I will not spare her!”

The smile on Shao Wanru’s face disappeared, and there was a trace of fierceness in her expression, which made Shao Yanru inexplicably think of Rui’an Great Elder Princess. She couldn’t help but have a guilty conscience in her heart, but she reluctant to show weakness in her words.

“Fifth Sister, just go ahead and you must find out the truth. Otherwise, I will hardly absolve myself from the blame, as if I really did harm to you.”

The old maid who stirred up trouble had been executed by rods with a fair reason. So she could find nothing even if she wanted to investigate. And the old maid in the hall of the Ministry of Justice had been half-died recently because there were many people in prison who were infected with the illness. What’s more, the Ministry of Justice had already completed this case, so that old maid was not a big deal.

She was just an old maid. How could she get Shao Yanru involved in this matter? So Shao Yanru said these words confidently.

“Big Sister, do you want to prove that you did not hurt me?” Shao Wanru suddenly smiled and asked.

Shao Wanru was extremely beautiful, and her smile was like a hundred flowers blooming together. Her beauty was attractive, but this overly gentle smile made Shao Yanru’s heart in her throat. She felt uneasy in her heart, but still said in a strong way, “How can you prove it?”

“Big Sister, how about you beat Qin Yuru and Qi Rongzhi for me again? You have to help me vent my anger!” Shao Wanru said.

“You…” Shao Yanru’s face turned red, which reminded her of the humiliation that she had fought with Qin Yuru that day. Not only had she lost face in front of others, but also when she had returned to the mansion, her father had given her a strong slap, who had never beaten her before. Shao Yanru, as his favored daughter, had never experienced such a thing in her life for over a decade.

Now Shao Wanru actually reminded her of that again, as if something was violently opened in her heart. The shame and anger that she had nowhere to hide almost made her lose her reasons. She couldn’t help but breathe quickly and stared at Shao Wanru fiercely. How she wished she could make a hole in Shao Wanru’s body by staring at her.

She had given the impression of weakness, but she didn’t expect that Shao Wanru wouldn’t go for her weakness.

“Fifth Sister, what do you want to do?” She almost squeezed these words from her teeth.

“Big Sister, I’m tired. You can leave now!” Shao Wanru waved her hand and said.

“You…” Shao Yanru was furious. She clenched her fists and took two steps forward to approach Shao Wanru. Qing Yue wanted to stop her but was held back by Shuqi. “Fifth Sister, you are also from Duke Xing’s Mansion. If Duke Xing’s Mansion is in trouble, you will not be well either. The whole Duke Xing’s Mansion is your backup force. Although Great Elder Princess is good, she is only your grandmother, and she can’t interfere in the affairs of Duke Xing’s Mansion too much.”

Shao Yanru warned her.

Shao Wanru opened her eyes again, propped up her body to sit up straight, and then she waved to Shao Yanru. Shao Yanru looked at her suspiciously but still moved her face closer.
