Chapter 298 Grab, Let’s See Who Is Lucky

Now this case is still being investigated. It is said that it is related to the previous rebellion. If the case is cleared, the criminal’s entire family will be beheaded!
Shui Ruolan pressed Qin Wanru’s hands and said nervously.

This, this case is related to the previous rebellion?
Countess Yong worked hard to stop her lips from trembling, feeling that she had fallen into an ice cave.
The rebellion that took place several years ago nearly made the whole country fall into turmoil. Many rich and powerful aristocratic families were involved. In the end, all of them were uprooted, including a few that were more prominent than Duke Yong’s Mansion. Thinking of this event, Countess Yong was not only afraid, but she also trembled.
At this time, she calmed herself down with great efforts!

Who can deny it? Look, no one in the capital city dares to talk about it!
Shui Ruolan said.

Madam Shui, you are right. Now I suddenly realize I still have something to do in our mansion. Then, I won’t bother you, and I will come next time when I am free!
Countess Yong couldn’t stay here anymore, suddenly rose, and said with a forced smile.



Madam, you don’t often come here, why not stay longer?
Shui Ruolan stood up and politely persuaded her to stay.

No, if there is a chance, let’s chat next time!
Countess Yong said. Now she had something on her mind and had no mood to chat anymore. She had to go and check if there was still any evidence. Previously, she thought there wouldn’t be any, but now, the more she thought about it, the more she became worried. If any evidence related to their mansion was found, it would be a disaster.

As you wish, Madam!
Shui Ruolan looked at Countess Yong who felt uneasy with a smile and said.
Countess Yong spoke something courteous again and hurried away. Hearing her leave, Qin Wanru walked out from behind the screen slowly.
As Shui Ruolan waved her hand, all the servants left.
Qionghua left at last and closed the door for them considerately. From the questions and answers of Countess Yong and her madam, Qionghua also felt something. After stepping out of the room, she guarded the door gingerly and dare not have the slightest slack.

Wanru, this has something to do with you?
Shui Ruolan looked pale and asked in the room. Although she was not very smart, she had found that Countess Yong was scared and left hurriedly. If an unmarried lady like Qin Wanru was involved, it would be a big problem.

Mother, don’t worry, this matter nearly has nothing to do with me. I just got involved accidentally. That’s nothing terrible, let alone I nearly died, and no one will suspect me!
Qin Wanru knew what Shui Ruolan thought of after hearing Countess Yong’s words and comforted her hurriedly.
Shui Ruolan was finally relieved when she saw Qin Wanru smiling calmly, without any trace of panic. With her pink and tender little face being a little red, she was neither pale nor panicky.

This seems not a big problem! That’s good!



After sitting down and taking up the teacup at her hand and gulping, she then felt a little relaxed.
I thought you were involved just now!

As for such a thing, if one was involved, it would not only be one person’s trouble.

Mother, don’t worry. If I had been involved, the palace would have sent someone to ask me,
Qin Wanru said with a smile, looking peaceful, but kept the thing a secret. Since everyone thought so, Chu Liuchen obviously wanted everyone to think so, too. Naturally, the thing should be like this.
Knowing too much was not good for Shui Ruolan.
Although Shui Ruolan was not as vulnerable as she was in her previous life, this didn’t mean that she dared to accept such a thing, which was almost like rebellion.

As long as you are not in trouble!
Shui Ruolan whispered her concern and then changed the subject, her face turning cold.
What did Countess Yong mean? Is it that she has been involved? How can this end peacefully?

If it was other crimes that Duke Yong’s Mansion committed, the mansion itself would naturally take responsibility, but if it was rebellion, sometimes the whole clan would be incriminated. Qin’s Mansion and Duke Yong’s Mansion were now within the same clan. No doubt, Shui Ruolan was angry.

Mother, their mansion won’t be involved. If it had been, Duke Yong wouldn’t have been safe and sound chatting with you just now!

Qin Wanru soothed her softly.

Right, right, right!
Shui Ruolan was soothed successfully and nodded repeatedly, but she felt very agitated and rubbed her forehead, which had a little dull pain.



Mother, just now I especially asked you to follow what Countess Yong said to talk because I wanted to scare her. It seems that Countess Yong is very interested in my experience at the palace gate. If she is scared, she will not ask about it here and there and could avoid the possibility that if she causes trouble, our mansion will also be dragged.

When she found Shui Ruolan believed her, Qin Wanru explained with a smile again.
What Qin Wanru said was very reasonable. If Countess Yong asks about the thing that happened at the palace gate here and there, that is making trouble. Yesterday back at home, her cousin exhorted her repeatedly that no matter who mentioned this matter, she should only say she was unclear or didn’t know, not speak more with others, and never discuss it!
Asking about it here and there like Countess Yong was the source of trouble. Scaring her away was also good!
When she found Shui Ruolan was not panicky anymore, Qin Wanru added a few more words and then left with her. It was not early now, and Shui Ruolan needed to rest.
When she was walking to her courtyard but had not taken many steps, she met Yujie who came back in a hurry. Seeing Qin Wanru, she came over to bow hurriedly.

Saw her?
Qin Wanru smiled and said as she continued walking back.

Yes, I did, but not only Mei Xue but also Meiyan. I saw two of them. First, I saw Mei Xue. When I walked past her accidentally and spoke of the matter of Duke Xing’s Mansion, Mei Xue went away to see it and then went back hurriedly, but after a while, she and Meiyan went to see it together!

The expensive gift was sent to Qin’s Mansion by Madam of Duke Xing. Although it was announced to give to Qi Rongzhi, she was now living in Qin’s Mansion.
But later, Shui Ruolan asked her servant to tell the supervisor of Duke Xing’s Mansion who sent the gifts that they should send them to Qi’s mansion directly. The gifts had been sent in. The process of re-packing and sending them would take a lot of time. Absolutely, Qin Yuru would have enough time to send her servant to ask about the matter after she learned it.


The gifts that Duke Xing’s Mansion had sent this time were quite generous, and they also arrogantly stated that they would publicly take Qi Rongzhi to Duke Xing’s Mansion and would raise her as the daughter of the mansion in the future.
With the status of Duke Xing’s Mansion, if the process of adopting a daughter was too simple, others would laugh at the family. Previously, Madam of Duke Xing was not satisfied with Qi Rongzhi, so she just said it but didn’t do anything, but this time the madam made vigorous publicity of the matter.
Madam of Duke Xing’s previous and current actions differed largely, which also showed her guilt.
But different from Countess Yong, she did this for Wang Yishu. Qin Wanru was quite clear that Madam of Duke Xing would not leave any trace even if she was the one behind the scenes. Besides, if the worst situation occurred and Countess Yong was founded, Madam of Duke Xing would not be found, either.
The woman hid quite well. Without the details of her previous life as well as the loopholes Qin Yuru and her mother leaked from time to time through talking, she would not know that all the things were related to Madam of Duke Xing, who was the pusher behind her tragic fate.
Although she had been reborn, Qin Wanru dare not let her guard down at all when facing such a woman.

Miss, will First Miss make trouble?
Yujie looked at the silent Qin Wanru and said. She deliberately sent such a message to Qin Yuru, who was being detained, and guessed this had something to do with First Miss.

She will!
Qin Wanru confirmed. She passed the information to Qin Yuru for further use. Compared with the generous gifts given to Qi Rongzhi, Qin Yuru would think her dowry was too little and would not tolerate the situation because of the comparison.
But now this was not the most important thing, and her watery eyes looked cold. Qin Yuru was not the nominally adopted daughter of Madam of Duke Xing in her previous life, but she was almost like one, who was not only appreciated by Madam of Duke Xing but also liked by Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion.
Especially taking her to Duke Xing’s Mansion to raise was not that they liked her at first sight. Qin Yuru was not that charming, and Duke Xing’s Mansion would not adopt the Miss of another mansion randomly.


The secret in her previous life that brought her to the boundless sea of blood might surface gradually, and she would wait patiently…
Qin Yuru would admire the so many gifts that Duke Xing’s Mansion sent today and have some ideas that she could not control herself. Madam Di had ideas a long time ago, or she wouldn’t have been so interested in her mother’s glazed cup or even evilly wished to destroy Jingxin Monastery.
Qin Yuru’s clothes had the bluegrass seal’s patterns, which drew the attention of Duke Xing’s Mansion. Now it should be the time to
close the net
!
Currently, Madam of Duke Xing sending generous gifts to Qi Rongzhi provided a very good opportunity for Qin Wanru. After Wang Yishu’s affair, Madam of Duke Xing wanted to use it to build a closer relationship with Qin’s Mansion?
This was a good opportunity. She believed that Madam Di also thought so…

Mother, why has Qi Rongzhi got better gifts? She is but one raised in our family. I don’t believe Madam of Duke Xing likes her.
Qin Yuru gritted her teeth and said in the candlelight. When she thought of the thing two servant girls described to her, she became envious instantly.
Why was Qi Rongzhi so lucky? And her luck was from Qin Yuru’s family. Qin Yuru felt unfair. This should be her good luck, for she was the most distinguished Miss of Qin’s Mansion and should have more honors!
Qin Yuru sneaked into Madam Di’s courtyard, lifted the cloth covering her head, and told her mother about the matter angrily.

Yu’er, don’t be anxious!
The thin Madam Di caressed her and said. In the candlelight, ghostly cheekbones protruded high on her previous beautiful face.

Mother, how can I not? In the past, you said I have good luck, but look at me now. I have been locked up by my father, and my good luck has been taken by Qi Rongzhi!
Qin Yuru didn’t seem to see Madam Di’s thin, bloodless face, and said willfully and angrily.

She can’t, and this is only to stop the public from gossiping!
Madam Di said sullenly and hinted to Nanny Zhou, and the latter walked into the inner room. After a short while, she came out with a seal and placed it before Qin Yuru. The bluegrass seal looked a little familiar to her.

Mother, What is this?
Qin Yuru picked it up, observed it in the candlelight, and asked with a surprise.
