Chapter 316: Xu’s Sophistry and Mrs. Xingguo’s Frustration
There should be someone in Duke Xingguo's palace who knew that his biological parents had a daughter, and had never given up on secretly investigating her, so Mrs. Xingguo would plot against her again and again.
After he entered the palace in his previous life, Princess Xingguo's hands were not that long, so her daughter Shao Yanru came to kill her, and she used extremely ruthless and accurate methods to eradicate the weeds.
She will definitely be able to find out this matter in this life.
There is no airtight wall in the world, so she just wants to seize their leverage from the wall of Duke Xingguo's mansion.
The scroll in his hand slowly closed and was put back on the bookshelf. Qin Wanru turned around and walked out. Before she reached the door, she suddenly heard a sound coming from outside. It seemed that a large group of people were coming, and she pressed her hand.
Yujie understood, and hurried forward to close the door. The two of them stood in front of the window, gently pulled up a corner of the curtain, and looked out the main window.
"Who dares to splash ink on it?" Shao Yuanhao's childish voice was particularly obvious. Although he could not be seen in the crowd, it was obvious that he was among that group of people.
"This...this is what Mrs. Tai meant. She said she was afraid that she would think..." The maid in red said vaguely, not daring to say the name of the crown prince of Duke Xingguo.
There is no heir apparent in the Xingguo Duke's mansion, and the prince has not yet been invited to come down. Although the eldest son is the legitimate son, and he is also the eldest son of the Duke of Guo, the invitation for the prince has been handed over early, but there is nothing from the emperor. , it is said that this was because of the obstruction of Princess Ruian.
Of course, the maid only heard about this kind of thing, but the only thing she knew was that the name of the former Prince Xingguo could not be called casually!
"Why did grandma erase father's name? Grandma didn't come to see it. How could she think that seeing this word would remind her of father?"
Shao Yuanhao shouted angrily.
It was an accident that he came to Duke Xingguo's mansion today. It was originally intended by the eldest princess of Ruian that Duke Xingguo and Mrs. Xingguo recognized her as an adopted daughter. With her identity, why should she come to support her? Naturally, she would not come. Instead, she sent someone to give a gift. I have given enough face to Mrs. Xingguo!
Unexpectedly, Shao Yuanhao found out about this and started crying and clamoring to come. However, Princess Ruian had no choice but to send two of her confidants to come with her.
After Shao Yuanhao arrived at the Xingguo Duke's Mansion, he had been playing in the front yard and was not in a hurry to come to the back yard. When the two maids went to inform him, he happened to hear the news and came over immediately.
After the two maids finished telling the secret, they left first. Then Shao Yuanhao brought a large group of maids and mothers-in-law from Princess Ruian's house. The two groups met in front of the door and asked the two maids clearly. The ink in the ink bucket in his hand wanted to erase the words "father", so Shao Yuanhao had the ink bucket overturned on the spot.
That's why there was such a big commotion.
At this time, the ink bucket had been overturned to the ground. Hao Yuanhao stood in the crowd and blocked the screen wall. He also asked all the people from Princess Ruian's Palace to block in front, and no one from Duke Xingguo's Palace was allowed to come forward.
Although their place was remote, Shao Yuanhao came with a large group of people aggressively. Someone had already reported it to Mrs. Xingguo Gong. They didn't say a few words here before Mrs. Xingguo Gong hurried over with their people.
She was originally talking to some noble ladies, but now after giving a humble hug to those ladies, she no longer cared about the banquet and hurried over.
Several ladies followed calmly, falling far behind Mrs. Xingguo.
As soon as Mrs. Xingguo entered the courtyard, she heard Shao Yuanhao's words and rushed over to coax him: "Hao'er, be good, this matter is your grandmother's decision. Just listen to your grandmother. After you brush it off, my second aunt will have someone whitewash it for you. , then Hao'er can practice calligraphy on it!"
"I don't want it, I want my father's name!" Shao Yuanhao pushed Mrs. Xingguo away and shouted, his eyes turning red.
Because of the arrival of Duke Xingguo's wife, the crowd moved aside. Qin Wanru happened to see Shao Yuanhao's expression clearly, and there was a hint of pain in his eyes.
This is her brother, her only blood and closest relative. In the last life, the two of them have never met. Both siblings have long since become victims of others' struggles for power.
Mrs. Xingguo Gong was not careful that Shao Yuanhao would push her and almost fell down. The maid Le Qing next to her hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and she was able to stand upright!
After standing firm, his face darkened and he asked: "Hao'er, are you obedient?"
"Hao'er, don't be obedient. Hao'er wants my father's handwriting. Hao'er doesn't want to write, I just want my father's handwriting!" Shao Yuanhao cried loudly and waved his hands randomly, not allowing anyone to get close to him, and Mrs. Xingguo had to leave him. Far away.
"Come here, Master Hao is crying like this, why don't you take him away!" Mrs. Xingguo Gong's eyes flashed with disgust, but her face showed concern.
Aunt Sheng hurriedly walked out and was about to pick up Shao Yuanhao and take him away: "Master Hao, follow me. The two crickets that Master Hao liked last time have been found. Master Hao, let's go and see them." Look, I heard it’s so powerful that no one else’s crickets can beat this one!”
"I don't want it, I don't want Cricket, I just want my father, I just want my father's words!" Haoer cried loudly, reaching out to push her up.
"Hao'er, if you don't behave, I will ask grandma to lock you up." Mrs. Xingguo's expression turned cold, and then she winked at Aunt Sheng, who then grabbed Shao Yuanhao's hand knowingly. , while coaxing: "Master Hao, stop crying and go talk to the Madam. The Madam might feel sorry for you!"
Shao Yuanhao hesitated, and Mrs. Xingguo became angry. He seemed a little timid. He looked at Mrs. Xingguo with tearful eyes, and then looked at the shadow wall behind him. He must be a child. He was so frightened by Mrs. Xingguo. It seems like he wants to compromise.
A woman standing behind Shao Yuanhao suddenly took two steps forward and slapped Grandma Sheng hard on the face twice. Grandma Sheng was squatting and was beaten to the ground all of a sudden, "Bold, Where does this mean woman dare to touch Master Hao?"
At this moment, no one expected that Mrs. Xingguo stared at the old woman with an almost livid face. She did not dare to refute Princess Ruian's face, but she still dared to attack the old woman.
"How dare you, this is Duke Xingguo's mansion!" Mrs. Xingguo Duke said sternly.
The mother-in-law looked at Duke Xingguo's wife calmly and bowed sideways, "I know you are Duke Xingguo's wife, but our princess has ordered that no one in Duke Xingguo's palace is allowed to touch the young master. If anything happens to the young master, , I am asking about the entire Xingguo Duke’s mansion! Our princess is no longer here, but this is our princess’s only blood, the royal blood, and not just anyone can touch it!”
These words were said in an unceremonious manner, almost pointing out that Mrs. Xingguo could not touch Shao Yuanhao. If anyone else had said this, Mrs. Xingguo would have slapped him on the spot.
But this is what the eldest princess of Ruian said, and the so-called royal blood is absolutely correct. Shao Yuanhao's mother is Princess Qinghua, so she is not the royal blood.
"You are just a servant!" Mrs. Xingguo's face darkened.
"Since the old slave is just a servant, but our eldest princess also asked for it from the palace. The old slave used to serve the Queen Mother!" The old lady raised her head and said proudly.
Everyone present was shocked when he said this. No one found it strange that the eldest princess Ruian was surrounded by a nun from the palace, but there was actually a nun from the palace beside Shao Yuanhao. This shows that the eldest princess Ruian has a lot of affection for Shao Yuanhao. Care, this does not mean that Shao Yuanhao is regarded as a grandson, he is clearly raised as a grandson.
What's more, this woman is actually a member of the Queen Mother.
Just this point, even if Mrs. Xingguo has a noble status, she cannot shout or kill the people around the Queen Mother. In other words, even if the mother-in-law next to the Queen Mother slaps Aunt Sheng a few times for no reason, that's not the case. You can only admit that you are unlucky and your fight was in vain!
Is it possible that we can still fight back?
This is not only the face of Princess Ruian, but also the face of the Queen Mother!
The ladies who followed Mrs. Xingguo looked at each other in confusion. Is the eldest princess Ruian really going to snatch this child away?
This makes no sense!
After all, Shao Yuanhao's surname is Shao, and his father is the former eldest son of Duke Xingguo. If he really follows the eldest princess Ruian, Duke Xingguo will be completely disgraced, and there are rumors that they cannot tolerate a child who has lost the love of his parents. This kind of thing can be big or small, and it has also contacted the royal family.
The ladies originally just wanted to see what happened to Duke Xingguo's mansion, but they didn't expect to see him like this. They stood at the gate of the courtyard with silent expressions. It was best not to interfere in the royal affairs. Whoever interferes will be in trouble.
The courtyard became eerily quiet.
Qin Wanru saw that Mrs. Xingguo's face turned blue and white for a while. She was obviously trying to suppress the anger in her heart. She felt relieved. With the eldest princess Ruian protecting her, it seemed that Shao Yuanhao would not suffer a loss today.
"Okay, okay, I won't care about this matter. Anyway, it is the wish of the Madam. Princess Ruian can control Hao'er, but she can't control every plant and tree in our Duke Xingguo's mansion!"
Mrs. Xingguo's face became a little uneasy. After speaking angrily, she turned around and went back with her people, as if she didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore.
The eldest princess of Ruian has a noble status, but no matter how noble she is, she can't control everything in other people's houses. If she can't do it today, there will be tomorrow. Since she plans to remove the shadow wall, Mrs. Xingguo still doesn't believe that she can't do it!
Mrs. Xingguo Gong left, and the other ladies naturally followed her. Princess Ruian and Shao Yuanhao were left alone by the shadow wall.
Seeing Mrs. Xingguo leave, Shao Yuanhao relaxed. He tugged on the lapel of the old lady beside him and said in confusion: "Why does grandma have to remove the shadow wall of father's writing? Isn't it good to keep it? Father?" I also specially left a place for Hao'er, and from now on, Hao'er's words will be together with my father's!"
When Haoer said this, his eyes turned red with grievance.
Although he has never met his biological father, he has always been proud of him.
The fact that he had never seen his biological father's face did not prevent him from thinking about his father. His grandmother said that his father was a very powerful person, and he was definitely not the incompetent father that his grandmother said.
Inside the window, Qin Wanru's eyes also turned red. The nature of father and son, even if Yin and Yang are separated, cannot be erased!
