Chapter 1,118: Asking for Help, a New Person Is Coming to the House

"If Princess Chen can help at this time...it would be the best, and let people see...our mansion has no biological connection with Prince Chen's..." Zhao Xiran was helped to stand up straight, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Sister, don't be sad!" Zhao Xiqiong quickly stood up and went to the other side, holding her hand and comforting her in a low voice.

Shao Wanru frowned and raised his watery eyes slightly: "Is someone gossiping like this?"

"No... no one said it, I thought so myself..." Zhao Xiran felt that he had lost his composure, turned around quickly and took a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, shook his head, and said with a smile, "Princess, I am rude. , it’s just that the house has been a little cold recently, so I felt it!”

The inner courtyard of the Marquis of Xingguo Mansion is indeed very cold right now. Madam Jiang is not here, and the Jiang family has been locked up. The only ones left are Zhao Xiran and the mother and daughter of the third wife. The third lady is used to being careless. Compared with before, It is indeed a lot deserted.

"Princess..." Zhao Xiqiong suddenly spoke, hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong with Second Miss Zhao?" Shao Wanru looked at Zhao Xiqiong with interest. Compared with Zhao Xiran, Zhao Xiqiong was better looking and very charming. When looking at people with her beautiful eyes, she seemed to have a hint of tenderness. , but it’s not very obvious and won’t make people feel too seductive.

This seductive look is the most subtle and exciting.

"Second sister!" Zhao Xiran's face became sharp and he shouted at Zhao Xiqiong.

Zhao Xiqiong sighed and glanced at her sister. She said nothing in the end and lowered her head. "I have nothing to do. I just want to go outside for a walk. Is that okay?"

Everyone present was from the Xingguo Hou Mansion. Although Zhao Xiqiong was Zhao Xiran's younger sister, she was indeed considered an outsider here. She thought it would be wise to take a walk outside so that they could talk.

Shao Wanru knew that this was not what she originally wanted to say, but since she didn't say it, she didn't want to force her. He nodded immediately: "Qu Le, take Miss Zhao Er to the garden for a walk!"

Qu Le responded, bowed to Zhao Xiqiong, and left with Zhao Xiqiong.

"Sister-in-law, if you have anything embarrassing, you can tell me!" Shao Wanru said softly, looking at Zhao Xiran who was sitting down again.

"Actually...actually..." Zhao Xiran hesitated for a moment, looking a little hesitant. He looked up at Shao Wanru, his eyes a little uneasy.

"Sister-in-law, please speak!" Shao Wanru didn't force her, but just added another sentence.

Zhao Xiran composed himself and raised his head again as if he had made up his mind: "Princess Chen, in fact, it's not that I can't tell you about this...father-in-law...he wants to recruit new people..."

After saying this, Zhao Xiran blushed like blood. She must have been talking about what happened in Shao Jing's room. As a daughter-in-law, she had no right to say such things.

"Newcomer?" Shao Wanru asked puzzledly.

Now that he has said it, the next words will not be so difficult. Zhao Xiran pinched the handkerchief and said: "I heard... I heard that I have been with my father-in-law for a long time... My father-in-law said that there are no elders in the house now, and I am. The young daughter-in-law, who is not very sensible, just wants to take over that person, and... she also has a daughter..."

That woman named E Niang? Shao Wanru immediately thought of that woman. He had forgotten about her before. Last time she came to his Prince Chen's Mansion and said that she knew some important things about his parents. This woman was extraordinary.

"Originally, this kind of matter should be solved by the mother-in-law or the madam, but now the mother-in-law... the madam doesn't care about the matter... I really don't know what to do, so I want to come and discuss it with Princess Chen, but I am afraid that this matter is inappropriate." Zhao Xiran He lowered his head and said vigorously.

This matter was really difficult for her. It was really shameful to say that her father-in-law raised a foreign wife and brought the foreign wife into the house. Even though the person in front of her was Shao Wanru, who was also the married daughter of the Marquis of Xingguo Mansion, Zhao Xiran still didn't want to Very comfortable.

Shao Caihuan's head moved slightly. She raised her head that had been lowered since entering the door and glanced at Zhao Xiran. She really didn't know about the second room.

"Has this matter been reported to the Madam?" Shao Wanru said calmly.

"My father-in-law said that Madam Tai is in the Qing Dynasty and it is not a big deal to disturb anyone. He just asked me to organize two tables of wine for him. He also said... He also said that Princess Chen has also met her... so she agreed early!" Zhao Xiran moved uncomfortably and his face turned red with embarrassment.

In this situation, I don't know whether to express my objection or approval. Even though Zhao Xiran prides herself on being smart, she still feels that she has never heard of such a thing. What can she say as a daughter-in-law?

Especially when Shao Huaan still agrees.

But is it her role as a daughter-in-law to take charge of this matter? There is obviously a second mother-in-law here, so shouldn't she be the one to step in?

The last time we met, it was considered that you had met and agreed? Shao Wanru sneered in his heart. Shao Jing was only thinking about using himself as a bastard. He might have found someone for him when the time came. Now the matter of Chu Liuchen was brought up in the court, and all the civil and military officials in the court were staring at Prince Chen's Mansion. This When such words came out, didn't it make people ginseng and Chu Liuchen?

Zhao Xiran, the daughter-in-law, has no say in Shao Jing's affairs, but does he, the niece, have the right to say it?

Shao Jing was clearly shifting the blame onto himself and diverting other people's attention. He was really deeply affectionate towards this Empress.

But, is he such a person? For so many years, if he was really such a person, how could he let the mother and daughter wander around.

No matter what, even the illegitimate daughter of the Xingguo Marquis Mansion has a better chance of marrying into a high family than an ordinary woman. I heard that the daughter has grown up. At this time, she will recognize her ancestors and return to the clan. Remarriage will inevitably make her People say that it is not easy to get a good marriage.

If you recognize her earlier, after a period of settling down, and with the same upbringing as other ladies, there will be fewer people talking about it, and the marriage will be easier.

"What my father-in-law meant, he also said that... he wanted to enter the palace as an equal wife..." Zhao Xiran said again.

This time Shao Caihuan also raised his head and looked at Zhao Xiran in astonishment. He thought that this second uncle was crazy. It was so easy to give such an ordinary wife, and she was also a daughter of an outsider who had been raised outside for so many years. At first glance, she doesn't look like a good woman, why should she take the position of an equal wife?

Second uncle, he really dares to say that!

Shao Wanru took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Go and invite the madam back to your home!"

"Wha...what?" Zhao Xiran asked in shock.

"Go and invite the Madam back home!" Shao Wanru said with certainty. No matter what trouble Shao Jing wanted to make, the only one who could suppress him on the surface was the Madam.

If even the wife agrees to this, it seems quite suspicious!

She was testing Mrs. Tai's attitude, and she was also testing Shao Jing's attitude.

How could she not avenge her parents? Now that Chu Liuchen was blocking the affairs in the house, she was now at leisure and could continue to investigate.

"But...but Mrs. Tai is...the Queen Mother's intention..." Zhao Xiran stammered. Of course Mrs. Tai is not the Yuhui Nunnery that she wants to go to. Is it so easy for her to come back now?

"Tomorrow I will go to the palace to see the Queen Mother and talk about this matter. If the Queen Mother accepts the request, I will ask someone to inform you that you should go and invite the Madam back immediately. There is no Madam in charge of matters in the palace. My sister-in-law is afraid that It's not easy to make the decision!" Shao Wanru already had an idea in mind.

Since the Queen Mother secretly punished the Queen Mother, of course she had to inform the Queen Mother. Although the Queen Mother might not care too much, she had to tell the Queen Mother about this matter to avoid being caught by others.

"Will the Queen Mother agree?" Zhao Xiran also knew that it was the best way now, but he was still a little worried and looked at Shao Wanru.

There is no hope for Jiang. Zhao Xiran will not mention her because of her hatred for Shao Wanru. Besides, she doesn't want Jiang to come out. She just wants to keep her wife's position and lock her up forever. This way at least It can ensure that Shao Hua'an's eldest son's position is secure.

"It should be okay, wait for my news tomorrow!" Shao Wanru nodded.

"Thank you, Princess. If it weren't for Princess... I don't know what I would have done. I can't make the decision on this matter!" Zhao Xiran breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully to Shao Wanru.

As long as the madam comes back, no matter how the madam handles this matter, it has nothing to do with her, and it won't cause anyone to gossip.

"Sister-in-law, you're welcome. The Xingguo Marquis Mansion is my natal family. Do you want me to ignore my natal family?" Shao Wanru replied softly, smiling slightly.

"Fifth sister, I...I..." Shao Caihuan finally spoke. This was the first time she spoke after entering the door. Her expression was very hesitant and her face was red. She seemed to have something to say, but she couldn't say it for the moment. .

"Third sister, what's wrong?" Shao Wanru raised his eyes and asked.

"I...I have nothing to do. My mother asked me to ask you when you will return home. She said that you haven't returned home for a long time." Shao Caihuan said with some difficulty, but the words were not as relieved as before. It should not be her first thought. meaning.

At present, the third wife is the only elder in the inner courtyard of the Xingguo Hou Mansion, but because she is separated by a room, the third wife always follows the second wife, so her relationship with Shao Wanru is not close.

"When Mrs. Tai comes back, you should go back and take a look!" Shao Wanru gently supported his injured arm and said with a smile.

"Okay... then... let's wait until the fifth sister comes back!" Shao Caihuan lowered his head again, biting his lip to hide the struggle in his eyes.

Zhao Xiran looked at her in surprise. The third lady brought this third lady over when she was about to go out. She said that she would accompany her to Prince Chen's Mansion to see Princess Chen. It seemed that something was going on at the moment.

What happened in the third room recently? Zhao Xiran used to keep an eye on Marquis Xingguo. He really didn't know anything about the third room. After thinking about it, it didn't matter. Could it be that he really just asked Shao Wanru to go back and keep in touch with him?

The current Princess Chen is not just Princess Chen, there is a fierce dispute in the court, and her father said that Prince Chen also has an honest reason to fight for the throne.

Aunt Yu suddenly came in in a hurry, walked up to Shao Wanru and whispered in Shao Wanru's ear. Shao Wanru suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhao Xiran calmly, and then nodded.

Zhao Xiran was shocked when he saw this, and he lowered his head hurriedly, feeling uneasy in his heart!
