Chapter 241 I’m Also Not Resigned to It. Let’s Unite!

In the afternoon of the next day, Madam Dowager, together with a group of people, left Huaguang Temple and returned to Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion.

It was quiet in front of the door of General’s Mansion and there were few onlookers. But farther away, someone pointed at here and there and seemed to be talking about something.

When Qin Wanru got off the carriage, she saw Madam Di and Qin Huaiyong standing next to Madam Dowager. Their faces looked very sullen.

After stepping forward and saluting to them silently, Qin Wanru went back to one side.

“Zhuozhuo goes home first, and Ruolan comes with me!” Madam Dowager said with sullen face. It was obvious that Qin Huaiyong and Madam Di had told her something before. But Madam Dowager didn’t want to involve Qin Wanru into this thing, so she dispatched Qin Wanru away.

Qin Wanru nodded her head and was about to turn around and go away. Suddenly she turned back and asked Qin Huaiyong, “Father, what’s the problem with the plate? It’s a gift given by the emperor. If it has any problem, we’ll be in trouble!”

Qin Huaiyong’s brows jumped slightly. He nodded casually, smiled and said with milder voice, “I know how to deal with it. Just rest your heart!”

Madam Di’s face became galling at that moment and she was even a little bit flustered. She glanced at Qin Wanru coldly without saying a word.

Now, this thing had not come to its end. She and Madam of Duke Xing were both very happy, but as to Qin Huaiyong, she still wanted to find an opportunity to “explain” more. But she hadn’t thought that Qin Wanru would suddenly mention it at this time, which made her unprepared for this situation.

Qi Rongzhi was also observing Madam Di and she could hardly control the hatred in her eyes. But finally she gritted her teeth and turned and followed Qin Wanru to go away.

After a while, when Qi Rongzhi turned around and couldn’t see Madam Dowager and other people behind her, she hurried up her steps and stopped Qin Wanru. “Sister Wanru, wait for me. I want to say a few words to you!”

Qin Wanru stood still and waited for her to come. She asked with dim light in her eyes, “What is it?”

“Sister Wanru, I am sorry. I misunderstood you before. Qin Yuru and Madam Di must deliberately make me misunderstand you. I’m here to say sorry to you!” Qi Rongzhi even saluted formally to Qin Wanru with a sincere and apologetic look.

“It doesn’t matter!” Qin Wanru said carelessly. She turned around and wanted to leave.

Qi Rongzhi hadn’t thought that her “true heart” was only paid by such a few careless words. She almost couldn’t keep the smile on her face. But then she said right away, “Sister Wanru, I know that you have no idea about Third Young Master Wen. I am short-sighted, but both of us are destroyed by Qin Yuru and Madam Di. Will you be resigned to this?”

“What if I am not resigned to it?” Qin Wanru squinted and said indifferently.

“If you are not resigned to it, you can certainly resist them. You are the Second Miss in General’s Mansion and no worse than Qin Yuru. But she and Madam Di don’t want to live with you everywhere you go. When you were in Jiangzhou, they had behaved like this. Now you are in the capital city, they will certainly do as the same. There is no way for you to live. Even if it is your marriage, I am afraid that they will manipulate it. This is a life-long thing!”

Qi Rongzhi said sincerely and seemed to care much about Qin Wanru.

“So, what should I do?” Qin Wanru smiled. Her long eyelashes flicked a few times, hiding the coldness in the depth of her eyes.

“Sister Wanru, I am also not resigned to them, so let’s join hands!” Qi Rongzhi’s voice was very low, but it became more and more sincere. She gnawed her teeth and said with hatred, “I am not resigned to the fact that I have almost lost my life. And I’m not willing to die without finding out the culprits. I checked it last night. Someone did something on my carriage. One of the wheels was broken. If someone deliberately hit it somewhere, the possibility of accident was very big!”

Qin Wanru was not surprised at this result.

Since Madam Di wanted to let Qi Rongzhi have an accident, this was the best way. It was not difficult to make a trace of damage on the wheel. Then, when it went downside, it would hit trees. The carriage would fall apart and the horse would crash and die.

“I don’t know how to do it. You should be careful later!” Qin Wanru said carelessly.

“This… was going to kill me. How could I be more careful? Qin Wanru, you should not be so useless!” These careless words annoyed Qi Rongzhi and she said angrily.

“What else could I do? This is the capital city instead of Jiangzhou!” Qin Wanru looked at Qi Rongzhi with a cold look, reminding her, “You can still rely on your father to fight against my father in Jiangzhou, but not here.”

She glanced up and down at Qi Rongzhi with scorn in her eyes. “Here, you can’t rely on anyone. What can you do on Big Sister on your own? You can’t even do anything on Big Sister, how could you deal with Madam Di? Qi Rongzhi, I suggest that you should not go out again and not stay alone. Otherwise you will really have accidents! I am not worried about you, but I am afraid that you will blame it on me. Qin Yuru is good at doing nothing but imputing curse to others.”

Qin Wanru finished her words this time and she didn’t wait for Qi Rongzhi to say anything, turned and left.

“Qin Wanru, Qin Wanru!” Qi Rongzhi’s impetuous voice came from behind. Qin Wanru did not look back, and she took Yujie to go away slowly.

The face of Qi Rongzhi turned green because of anger. She kicked on the trunk at one side, gnawed her teeth and said with hatred, “This useless gimmick! There is no wonder that she has always been bullied by Qin Yuru. She deserves it!”

“Miss, we are now living in General’s Mansion. If you really want to assault… I am afraid that it won’t work!” Chun Yi reminded her on the side cautiously.

She felt that Qin Wanru’s words were quite right. Under this situation, it was really not easy to fight against Qin Yuru and her mother directly.

“I have no one to rely on? I still have my big brother. My big brother is the flaw of Qin Yuru. Qin Yuru now has a bad reputation and we will make it worse. She won’t dare to plot against me at that time!” Qi Rongzhi had already been annoyed by Qin Wanru, and now she felt that even her servant girl also looked down upon her. She shouted and turned to give a slap on the face of Chun Yi.

“Yes… everything Miss says is right!” Chun Yi covered her beaten face and slammed down with a sound of “flop”.

“Go, let’s go back and see what my big brother would say. If my big brother shields this gimmick again, I will sever the brother-sister relationship with him,” Qi Rongzhi said with hatred. She had already let Chun Xi sent her letters to Qi Tianyu before and told this thing to him so that he could come up with some ideas to help her deal with Qin Yuru.

To this point of this moment, she didn’t believe that her big brother would believe what Qin Yuru said.

The thing between Qin Yuru and Di Yan had just come to an end. When everyone in the capital city was talking about this thing, some other old stories about Qin Yuru which happened when they were in Jiangzhou started to be talked by people.

It was said that this First Miss Qin and Qi Tianyu, the son of the magistrate in Jiangzhou, were a love match and childhood friends. And the two families had also had an alliance about their marriage. They had agreed to hold a wedding before Qi Tianyu went to the capital city to take exams. But it was unexpected that Madam Di and Qin Yuru climbed up the high branch of Duke Yong’s Mansion. So they refused the marriage with Qi Tianyu.

Moreover, they even pushed out the innocent Second Miss Qin as excuses. At that time, this thing had caused the great turmoil in Jiangzhou, and it was the biggest scandal of Jiangzhou.

Nobody knew where this news came from and it became more and more popular. It was said that there were some businessmen who transferred from Jiangzhou to the capital city to do business also talking about this thing, which made the story more vivid.

Things that had just been forgotten before caused great turmoil again because of this thing. Not only ordinary people in the capital city were talking about this thing, but also some aristocratic families were spreading this.

Qin Wanru looked like a child and her face was exquisite but childish. Nobody believed that she would really fall in love with Qi Tianyu. What did a child of that age know? She was destroyed by Qin Yuru and her mother like this. They were so hateful like the vicious stepmothers.

And as the news came out, another guess came out silently. It was said that the reason why Madam Di and Qin Yuru treated Qin Wanru so badly was that she was not the daughter of Qin Huaiyong but was picked up in the midst of war. Although the rebellion had gone for many years, many people still remembered it.

Some of the past family affairs of Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion were turned over. And with these affairs, Yamen had also caught an escaped servant. It was said that he was escaped from the troupe of Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion when they entered the capital city. After having been caught, he said again and again that it was Madam Di that asked him to do this thing. The purpose was to kidnap the Second Miss and sell her to some dirty places.

The words of this escaped servant immediately shook the whole capital city. After the great turmoil in the capital city, the reason why Shui Ruolan was married to Qin’s Mansion was also turned over. On the one hand, she was plotted by Madam Di; and on the other hand, she needed to take care of Qin Wanru, the child without parents.

This was not just a rumor, and it was actually a great shock to everyone which was unbelievable. But at this time, the wife of Duke Yangqu’s son said that she was in Jiangzhou too then and she was actually there when this thing happened.

So much news came out one after another, and it was like summer thunders bombed over the sky of the Qin’s Mansion. The atmosphere in the mansion was unprecedented nervous. Qin Huaiyong and Madam Dowager had discussed for a long time with doors closed but they could not decide. Finally they put her under house arrest and dispatched old maid to manipulate the Yulan Pavilion in which Madam Di lived.

Not to mention Madam Di, even if the other people in the yard were not allowed to enter or exit at will and Madam Di was separated directly. Qin Yuru was also put under house arrest and copied Woman Precepts and Daughter’s warns in her own yard.

The things in Qin’s Mansion had something to do with the inner court. Recently, all the people in the Qin’s Mansion did not appear in front of anyone. Even people who were curious could not find people to ask. But Qi Tianyu was different. As the person who had experienced the whole thing, it was convenient to ask him. So there were some curious people who asked Qi Tianyu whether it was true or not.

But none of the people who asked Qi Tianyu gained a confirmed answer. Qi Tianyu always answered with nothing to do with the questions. When he had to answer, he only said that people in Qin’s Mansion were of good characters. As for other things, he didn’t know them clearly.

To this moment, he still had the heart to protect the reputation of Qin’s Mansion. Everyone praised this Mr. Qi.

In the evening of that day, two people were dressed up like servant girls and sneaked away from the backyard door!
