Chapter 448: Sincere Dao Qian?
In the morning of the next day, the elders of the Shaw clan came into the house one after another. The time to be officially recorded in the genealogy was in the afternoon, and they had to worship their ancestors at noon.
Because time is in a hurry, the entire Xingguo Duke's Mansion is very busy, and there are a lot of things to prepare. Fortunately, it is still the New Year, and there are a lot of things prepared during the New Year. We worshiped our ancestors a year ago, and some things are still preserved. Once it was settled, there was no need to look for it elsewhere at this time.
There were quite a few people from the Shao clan, and the clan elders each brought some of their clan members over.
The Xingguo Duke's Mansion held ten banquets at noon.
There are many doubts about Qin Wanru's identity. They all think that the daughter of the former crown prince of Xingguo Duke's palace has appeared out of nowhere. They have never heard of it before, so it can't be a fake!
The repeated certifications from Mrs. Xingguo and Mrs. Xingguo, coupled with the eldest princess Ruian bringing Shao Yuanhao over for certification at noon, made the Shao clan slowly stop gossiping and no longer dared to talk nonsense.
The eldest princess Ruian brought Shao Yuanhao here for a while, and only let Shao Yuanhao meet Qin Wanru. After that, the eldest princess Ruian left, leaving Shao Yuanhao alone to follow Qin Wanru.
The afternoon was the ancestor worship ceremony of the Shao clan, and it was inconvenient for Princess Ruian to stay here.
Shao Yuanhao followed Qin Wanru like a little tail. Ever since he found out that Qin Wanru was his biological sister, Shao Yuanhao's little face had been smiling happily.
Qin Wanru did whatever he asked him to do, and he was very obedient. In addition, after being taught at the eldest princess's residence in Ruian for a while, Haoer became polite in his behavior. This made all the clan elders who had seen Shao Yuanhao They were all shocked.
In the past, this young master Hao was the little demon king of the Xingguo Palace. He could do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted, without any taboos.
The tribesmen shook their heads secretly and sighed, and some even said that it was fortunate that the former Prince Xingguo was not here, otherwise the entire Xingguo Duke's mansion would be handed over to this young master Hao, and the entire Shao clan would not be destroyed.
From this point of view, it is a good thing that the former Crown Prince Xingguo is no longer here!
But is this young master who seems to be not only well-behaved but also polite, really the lawless Master Hao? The tribesmen were very surprised and started talking secretly.
I don’t know when there was a rumor outside, saying that Duke Xingguo wanted to kill the only bloodline of the former Duke Xingguo. The people of the Shao family had not taken it seriously before. Many of them had seen this young master Hao. A bastard, the wife felt sorry for him because he was a descendant of the former Duke of Xingguo, so she pampered him like this.
But the current situation has made the tribesmen suspicious. If this young master Hao is really hopeless, why is he so well-behaved and polite now?
The Xingguo Duke's Mansion was very busy, but Qin Wanru was not too busy. He only attended the banquet at noon and met several respected clan elders. After that, he took Shao Yuanhao's hand and returned to the courtyard where he lived temporarily.
The banquet was basically over at this time, and some young girls from the Shaw family began to enjoy the flowers in the garden.
There were a lot of people coming, and they were not the young ladies from the previous aristocratic families. Some of the rules were no longer applicable. Girls from the Shaw family could be seen almost everywhere.
The girls were quite happy to have such an opportunity to visit the Xingguo Duke's Mansion.
"Like a cousin!" A figure suddenly appeared from the rockery, which scared Qin Wanru and stopped in a hurry. Shao Yuanhao raised his little face and looked at Qin Wanru before he wanted to speak, but Qin Wanru stretched out his white and tender finger and shook it. Obediently, he stopped talking and just pouted his mouth, staring at the figure opposite him displeased.
"Like a cousin, it's me!" The visitor raised his head and said with a wry smile, with a haggard look on his face. It was Wang Shengxue, but this time he seemed very polite and did not try to get close to Qin Wanru.
"What's the matter, Mr. Wang?" Qin Wanru raised her eyebrows slightly and asked lightly.
Wang Shengxue was indeed her cousin now, but she had no intention of reminiscing with him.
"I hope my cousin Wanru will forgive me for what happened between me and my roommate before!" Wang Shengxue bowed deeply to Qin Wanru and hugged her to the end.
"If Mr. Wang wants to talk about the past, then forget it, isn't it all in the past?" Qin Wanru said with eyes unchanged.
In this life, the brothers Wang Shengxue and Wang Yishu had a grudge against me. It was said that Wang Yishu was still comatose in bed and didn't know anyone else's affairs. As the elder brother, Wang Shengxue should hate him to the core.
"Cousin Wanru, do you think it's weird that I'm here to apologize?" Wang Shengxue raised his body and looked at Qin Wanru, his smile became increasingly bitter, and even a bit unwilling.
After asking himself a question, he didn't wait for Qin Wanru to ask again and answered by himself: "Cousin Wanru is now the daughter of my eldest uncle and the granddaughter of the eldest princess Ruian. If I still have any bad thoughts, I'm afraid I will I can’t stay in this capital anymore!”
Such a reluctant and bitter expression meant that he had to do this and apologize. Today was different from the past. Qin Wanru's change in status meant that he no longer had the opportunity to seek revenge on Qin Wanru.
Qin Wanru's eyes fell quietly on Wang Shengxue, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "Young Master Wang, you're welcome, please do it!"
As he said that, he walked around him and left.
Seeing that Qin Wanru was about to leave, Wang Shengxue became anxious and took two steps forward. He seemed to subconsciously reach out to pull Qin Wanru, but was pushed away by Shao Yuanhao on the side. He staggered a few steps before he could stand still.
"Please forgive me and my sister, cousin Wanru!" Wang Shengxue did not dare to come over again after he stood still. He looked at Qin Wanru and begged, "My sister and I are living in the Xingguo Duke's mansion now. If cousin Wanru doesn't forgive me, we will have to wait until Duke Xingguo. After the government affairs are finished, I'm afraid they will drive us away. How can my sister be able to leave in this condition? Without the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital..."
Wang Shengxue couldn't continue talking at this point, and his expression became sad.
Wang Yishu's current situation is said to be a life-or-death situation. He is hanging with medicine all the time, and from time to time he invites the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital to ask for his pulse. If the Wang Shengxue brothers and sisters have to leave, all this will be gone, and it may indeed happen. 's life was lost.
At least he is alive now, and there is hope in living.
The fact that Wang Shengxue came to apologize to Qin Wanru now does make sense.
No matter how much Wang Shengxue hated Qin Wanru before, the change in status at this time made it impossible for him to retaliate. He even had to beg Qin Wanru for the sake of his own future and sister, which was okay.
Wang Shengxue must have hated Qin Wanru because Qin Wanru lost the qualification of Chunwei. This kind of hatred that ruins a person's future is almost the hatred that breaks up the family. But now Wang Shengxue has to give in, not only for his sister, but also for the sake of his sister. He has a bright future, but without the support of Duke Xingguo, it is impossible for him to have a good future.
"Young Master Wang, you want to ask me for forgiveness? And then stay?" Qin Wanru's watery eyes turned slightly, and the smile did not reach her eyes.
"Cousin Wanru, my sister and I made a mistake. Please forgive us, cousin Wanru. Now we have received our retribution!"
Wang Shengxue apologized again in a humble manner, reached out and took out a delicate box from his arms, and presented it to him.
"This is my little thought, just give it to cousin Hao to play with!"
"What, this is for me?" Shao Yuanhao couldn't understand their previous accident. Seeing Wang Shengxue's begging look on his face, he felt soft. In the past, when Wang Shengxue saw Shao Yuanhao in the Xingguo Duke's mansion, he would also She always supported him and brought some gifts from time to time to befriend him.
"It's for Cousin Hao. It was specially selected from outside. I heard that the goods that just arrived are in the shape of a ship. I promised Cousin Hao before, but after I found it, Cousin Hao went to Ruian Dachang The Princess Mansion has never given you a chance!"
Wang Shengxue smiled.
There is another reason for this discussion. Wang Shengxue brought an imported product to the Madam of Xingguo Palace. The Madam liked it very much. Shao Yuanhao liked it even more and pursued Wang Shengxue. In order to please Shao Yuanhao, Wang Shengxue also I agreed, but then due to a series of changes, the matter fell through.
Now Wang Shengxue took it out, but it connected with the past.
"Sister, can I have it?" Shao Yuanhao looked up pitifully at Qin Wanru's face, then cautiously shook her hand and said coquettishly.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang!" Qin Wanru nodded.
Yujie stepped forward, took the box, and stepped aside.
"Then I'll take my leave first!" It seemed that because Qin Wanru accepted the gift, Wang Shengxue breathed a sigh of relief, raised his face and smiled softly.
This meant that the feud between Qin Wanru and their siblings was over.
Qin Wanru nodded.
Wang Shengxue was overjoyed and saluted Qin Wanru again, then turned and left. After walking a few steps, he seemed to think of something and looked back, but after a moment of hesitation, he continued to leave.
After seeing Wang Shengxue leaving, Qin Wanru continued walking back with the others. This scene seemed to be just a formality, and no one took it seriously.
"Second Miss, this...is this a private exchange?" In an attic not far from where they talked before, Shao Jie'er sat there with several sisters from the clan to enjoy the scenery, but she told what happened just now. After watching it over and over, they were too far away to hear what was said between them, but in the end Wang Shengxue reluctantly left, but they could see clearly. At this time, a young lady couldn't help but ask.
"Probably not! There might be something wrong." Shao Jie'er wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief and said nonchalantly.
"How could it not be the case? I saw clearly just now that not only did you give a gift, but you also left with affection. This... this kind of thing..."
Another Shao clan girl couldn't help but also spoke.
"No, how could this be possible!"
"That's right, how is it appropriate to have sex with a man? We, the Shaw family, are the most disciplined people. How can we let such an unruly woman get started?"
"Have you hooked up a long time ago? I heard before that Miss Qin's reputation is not very good."...
The fact that Qin Wanru ascended to heaven and became the daughter of the former Duke Xingguo made the girls of the Shao family jealous and envious. Seeing the scene in front of them, they talked about it one after another, and the more they talked about it, the more similar they became.
Shao Jie'er pressed the handkerchief to the corners of her lips again, wiping away the pride at the corners of her lips. She had completed what her mother had asked her to do...
