Chapter 404: News From Shao Jieer

Qin Yuru left in a hurry on her own. She indeed came to Prince Cheng's Mansion with an ulterior purpose.

The more she looked at Di Yan, the less she liked it. If there was a high branch to climb, why didn't she climb it?

She had some calculations in her heart. If she could be seen by King Cheng, and with the Xingguo Duke's palace as her background, even if she couldn't become a concubine in one fell swoop, she could still become a side concubine or a concubine, even if she retired. As for marriage, I don't seek the position of the main wife.

Her current thoughts are actually similar to Ning Caixian's original thoughts.

It doesn't matter if the reputation is bad, anyway, what you are looking for is not the position of the principal wife. If you enter the palace in the future, you can be more confident, win a man in one fell swoop, and push the original princess to take the seat.

But these things all have to have a premise, that is, His Highness King Cheng should take him seriously. Qin Yuru doesn't think it is difficult to do this. She knows that she has outstanding appearance, and even among the young ladies from aristocratic families in Beijing, she can be considered the best. beautiful.

Aunt Huang said that the most important thing for a woman is gentleness. When she was in Jiangzhou, she used to be gentle in front of others. After arriving in Beijing, she was repeatedly angered by Di Yan, and her temper became more and more exaggerated.

Now it's just a matter of bringing out the old behavior again, which is not a problem.

As for her marriage to Di Yan after falling in love, Qin Yuru felt that it was nothing. Her status had improved, and Di Yan was no longer worthy of her. Her grandmother loved her the most, and she would not insist on dragging her along. Di Yan, who had no use for rationing, secretly arranged the marriage and only said that the two were not engaged, and everyone was misinforming.

Qin Yuru took it for granted, so when he couldn't see Qin Wanru, he turned his feet purposefully and turned around. After walking for a while, he called a maid from Prince Cheng's Mansion and asked Prince Cheng. After that, he took Mei Xue to the central garden. It was said that His Highness Prince Cheng was in the garden.

Today's banquet is about choosing a concubine. His Royal Highness, Prince Cheng, is a man and cannot appear directly in front of everyone. It is inevitable to choose a high place to take a look in secret.

On the other hand, just look higher.

Qin Yuru went to the garden with such an idea in mind, and quickly found the pavilion where King Cheng was. Although the pavilion was a bit hidden, it was located on the side of a rockery, but Qin Yuru couldn't resist his sharp eyes. , and immediately discovered a pavilion above, and there were people faintly there.

He was immediately overjoyed. He straightened his clothes and was about to go over there when his sleeves were suddenly pulled by someone. What he saw when he looked back in shock was Shao Jie'er's face.

"Miss Qin, where are you going?"

Although Shao Jie'er was kind to her, Qin Yuru felt that it was inconvenient to talk about this kind of thing, so she acted as if nothing had happened and said with a smile: "I'm a little bored, so just take a walk!"

"This is Prince Cheng's Mansion, you can't just wander around!" Shao Jie'er warned her. In fact, she had already arrived at the flower hall and met the eldest princess Ruian, and then came back to look for Qin Yuru. She had brought the words of Mrs. Xingguo. of.

"There are too many people, it's really uncomfortable." Qin Yuru looked uncomfortable.

"Come with me!" Shao Jie'er thought she was really uncomfortable, her eyes flashed, and she pointed to a corridor at the corner. The corridor there was really far away from the pavilion on the rockery, and it was also far away from the pavilion on the rockery. After a while, Qin Yuru was extremely unwilling to follow him.

Helplessly, Shao Jie'er pulled her over with a familiar look on her face.

"Miss Qin, my mother wants to ask what is going on in your house? Why did something happen again? What is your mother causing trouble this time?" As soon as Qin Yuru sat down, Shao Jie'er's face immediately straightened up and she turned to Duke Xingguo. The lady's exact words were reproduced.

If it weren't for Di's repeated troubles, Qin Yuru would have entered the Xingguo Duke's mansion by now.

Qin Yuru was a little unhappy when she said this. No matter how bad Mrs. Di was, she was still her biological mother. Besides, she still looked like this, and she felt a little guilty when she thought about it.

Shao Jie'er is just a concubine, and she looks down on her mother so much in her words. Even if she is the messenger, it's a bit too much!

"Didn't I tell the eldest lady in your house before? Why do you ask again?" Qin Yuru said with a cold face and a bad attitude.

Seeing her answer like this, Shao Jie'er became unhappy. She was just a young lady from an ordinary family who was favored by her grandmother. She really thought that she was the legitimate daughter of Duke Xingguo.

"Sister, I'm very busy. I don't have enough time to care about your affairs." Shao Jie'er's face darkened and she said.

"The eldest lady asked me some things, but didn't tell my wife about me?" Qin Yuru was stunned for a moment, and said with wide eyes in astonishment.

On New Year's Eve, she was caught in a crowd alone and couldn't find anyone else. She unexpectedly met the eldest lady of the Xingguo Duke's mansion. When she saw her, she was immediately shocked. This was the first time Qin Yuru thought that A young lady from an aristocratic family who is slightly inferior to her in looks.

The eldest daughter of the Duke of Xingguo's mansion was famous for her talent and reputation, but Qin Yuru always felt that it was nothing more than that. It was just a good word passed down from family to person, just like when she was in Jiangzhou, her talent and reputation were also passed down together. But when she saw Miss Shao clearly, Qin Yuru had to feel inferior.

No matter the demeanor or appearance, as well as the look that always looks gentle and gentle, and does not seem to be angry, it is not comparable to any woman she has seen before. It makes people feel very comfortable and even willing to talk to her. Some thoughts from my heart.

So after clarifying her identity, when Shao Yanru asked her to sit for a while, Qin Yuru immediately agreed, and she had a heart for friendship at that time. After that, no matter what Shao Yanru asked her, she told her everything, even Jiang Zhou There was also some faint news about the incident.

Miss Shao also said that since her grandmother liked Qin Yuru, she must also like Qin Yuru, and she was very willing to be a good sister with Qin Yuru.

Later, he was worried that she would be suspected, so he sent her on the way back to the Qin Mansion. He waited until several Qin Wanru came over before letting Qin Yuru leave.

It can be said that Miss Shao is synonymous with perfection in Qin Yuru's heart!

All the other ladies in the capital, as well as the ladies from aristocratic families she had met, did not have this charm that impressed Qin Yuru.

It can be said that she is the first lady from aristocratic family in Beijing.

But there was some confusion at this moment. Miss Shao had clearly promised to tell Mrs. Xingguo what happened in the Qin Mansion, and told her not to worry, saying that her mother and grandmother would definitely figure it out. The trick came, but hearing what Shao Jie'er said today, Mrs. Xingguo didn't even know.

"Although the eldest sister came here for a while, she didn't go back home. Naturally, she couldn't tell her mother about it!" Shao Jie'er curled her lips, thinking Qin Yuru was stupid.

My eldest sister is not an ordinary person, so she can go back to Xingguo Duke's mansion to send a message? I really think of myself as a person, thinking that I am my grandmother’s favorite person.

Grandma's favorite granddaughter has always been her eldest sister, no one else!

"The eldest lady didn't come back home at night?" Qin Yuru asked doubtfully, "It's so late..."

"Eldest sister came back secretly, so it's not convenient to appear in front of others. You don't have to worry about eldest sister's affairs. This is something that the madam and the dowager should worry about. Let's talk about the things in your house!" Shao Jie'er said impatiently, Shao Yanru's Of course, the matter was not something she could pry into. Qin Yuru's repeated questioning made her a little angry.

Although she is a concubine, because she is the concubine of Duke Xingguo, she has always thought highly of herself. If it were not for the instruction of Duke Xingguo's wife, she would not take the initiative to express her goodwill.

When Qin Yuru went to the Xingguo Duke's Mansion before, she only said a few words lightly, and she always despised Qin Yuru in her heart. She would not forget that the first time Qin Yuru went to the Xingguo Duke's Mansion, something scandalous happened and she was found unconscious. It fell at the backyard door.

"There's nothing going on in my house, it's just that my mother is sick, very seriously!" Qin Yuru said vaguely.

"Your mother is really... She doesn't get sick sooner or later. It's not chaotic enough at this time, but she is actually sick!" Shao Yujie curled her lips coldly, full of disdain.

This disdain is not only directed at Di, but also partially directed at Qin Yuru.

Qin Yuru heard it and rubbed the handkerchief in her hand fiercely, but she didn't dare to get angry after all, knowing that it would not benefit her to have a confrontation with Shao Jie'er at this time.

After he calmed down, he said, "I wonder what Mrs. Xingguo means?"

"Madam... Mother naturally wants to ask you what your plans are? The news about you and your sister getting into a fight in the street was so bad. Moreover, your mother is ill and you can't come out for a while. If you encounter If you don't know grandma, what can you do?" Shao Jie'er pushed the question to her again.

In front of Mrs. Xingguo, she is just a concubine, and she is not a decent one. Most people call Mrs. Xingguo "Madam". At this time, she has to pretend to be favored in front of Qin Yuru, and keep saying "Mother" ", which frightened Qin Yuru.

Qin Yuru can come out to this kind of banquet today, but it is inconvenient for the wife of Duke Xingguo to come out. All the aristocratic families are not accompanied by their elders this time.

"This..." Qin Yuru hesitated and looked at Shao Yujie.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm here today just for your business. See if there is any way to help you figure it out!" Shao Jie'er said.

Qin Yuru said: "It is indeed a method, but I don't know if it is suitable..."

Aunt Huang had thought of a way for her before, just to spread the news to Mrs. Xingguo at the right time. The reason why she looked hesitant was because of Aunt Huang's intention and for her to behave like this.

"Yes, just tell her quickly. Your sister will come here soon, and it won't be convenient for the two of us to talk!" Shao Jie'er said displeased.

Qin Yuru leaned over and whispered in her ear. Shao Jie'er was a little disdainful at first, but then she nodded repeatedly, and her expression became much gentler than before.
