Chapter 553: Retreat After Being Rude

"You don't have to worry about her. Her maternal grandmother is in charge. If we send too much, what will we think we want to do?" said the madam angrily.

Seeing the tired look on her face, Shao Yanru quickly agreed, and then spoke a few words with her. After feeding her some medicine, she left after seeing that Mrs. Tai was drowsy.

The mother and daughter came to stand outside the courtyard. The servants stayed far away and did not dare to get too close to the mother and daughter.

"Ru'er, you want to go back now? This mountain is too dangerous. It's better not to go there. We can just send some things there!" Mrs. Xingguo was not too worried about what happened on the mountain. She had heard that many people died there. Yu Hui'an, she was frightened when she thought of this.

"Don't worry, mother, this matter won't happen again in the future." Shao Yanru said with certainty, "The people from the Criminal Department are investigating so strictly, no matter who they are, they will not take action!"

"Who do you think Ru'er belongs to? How dare you actually kill someone?" Mrs. Xingguo said worriedly.

"Who knows this? It could be those people, or it could be someone from the previous dynasty!" Shao Yanru said softly to comfort Duke Xingguo, her eyes flashing slightly. In fact, she really didn't know. She sent the letter that day. , wanted to fish in troubled waters, whether it was the King of Yue or the King of Zhou, she sent the message to them all.

I don’t know if both of them had a hand in it, or if some of them had a hand in it and some didn’t, or if neither of them had a hand in it, are they really remnants of the previous dynasty?

She didn't want to get too involved in this kind of thing. A smart woman couldn't know too much. She didn't directly say what she had guessed at that time. She only hinted at some small things about Master Pushan. Even if these two touched it themselves If they don't know clearly, the counselors around them should also be able to figure it out.

She just said some things she saw or occasionally thought about. As for thinking deeply, how could she, a young lady raised in a boudoir, understand this?

The only thing that made Shao Yanru regretful was that when this incident first happened, he chose the Buddhist temple where he performed rituals, and nothing happened to Shao Wanru.

"Be careful when you go up the mountain. Mom thinks that girl is not a good person." Mrs. Xingguo Duke warned her worriedly.

"Don't worry, mother." Shao Yanru said nonchalantly, "I heard that several princes are about to choose their concubines. If I leave to accompany my fifth sister at this time, no one will choose me!"

At this time, the situation was not yet clear. She was unwilling to enter the game first, but she could not say no. Privately, both King Xin and King Zhou thought she was devoted to him, and with her status, she could not be a concubine. If they When he entered the palace and said he wanted to marry her, she had no choice but to enter the palace obediently.

The situation was unclear, and marrying anyone was risky. She was going to be the queen in the future, and she was not willing to lose her life for the position of a concubine at this time.

So what about the princess, if that day comes, whether it is King Yue or King Zhou, he wants to be the queen by using some tricks on his own, and with the help of Duke Xingguo behind him, this post will be within his grasp.

At that time, who will remember who the former concubine was!

Regarding this, Shao Yanru was extremely confident. The only uneasiness she felt came from Shao Wanru. Ever since she saw Shao Wanru, she had always felt that this was a hidden danger. She even vaguely felt that if any woman might ruin her affairs, she would eventually It is possible that it is Shao Wanru.

Now she can use Shao Wanru's power to avoid the matter of choosing a concubine, gain a good reputation, and keep an eye on Shao Wanru. It can be said that she kills three birds with one stone, so why not do it.

Shao Wanru was observing filial piety for her parents. She could be regarded as observing filial piety by accompanying her. Even the royal family could not allow a woman who observed filial piety to choose a concubine.

"Since you think so, this is naturally the best!" Mrs. Xingguo had known Shao Yanru's plan for a long time, but because so many things happened in Yuhui Nunnery, she was really worried, so she thought of letting her stay in the mansion for a while before talking about it. , now that the matter of choosing a concubine has been brought up again, I suddenly remembered what happened to King Xin just now.

"Prince Xin has just come to the house and met the girl. It seems that he is chasing the girl. Could it be that he is in love with the girl? But what if he is in love? Apart from the identity of the girl, there is nothing else There is nothing substantial at all, it’s strange that Concubine Ming likes it!"

Mrs. Xingguo mocked.

"Prince Xin came to the mansion just now?" Shao Yanru's face looked a little strange.

"Yes, I found a reason to come to see the girl, and then I watched the good girl leave eagerly. She is indeed restless. She has not gotten rid of this charming aura in her body even after living in the nunnery for so long. I really don't understand. .”

Mrs. Xingguo sneered.

Shao Yanru fell silent, filled with discomfort. Even though she never thought that King Xin would step into that position in the end, this King Xin had always been kind to her before, and he would always surround her when he saw her. Around her, together with the young men who flattered her, they tried to please her.

Unexpectedly, she changed direction when she saw Shao Wanru, which made Shao Yanru feel more and more urgent. Shao Wanru really couldn't stay. This would be the biggest obstacle on her way to becoming a queen.

"Mother, what do you think Concubine Ming will do if she finds out about this?" She turned her eyes and had an idea, and said calmly.

These words reminded Mrs. Xingguo, she clapped her hands vigorously and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I will find a chance to talk to Concubine Ming about this matter!"

Even though Princess Ruian has the green eyes of the Queen Mother, Concubine Ming can be regarded as the emperor's favorite concubine. From this point of view, they are evenly matched.

Seeing that Duke Xingguo had understood what he meant, Shao Yanru turned around and left with a smile, King Xin? It wasn't just Concubine Ming who could take advantage of the situation, Shao Wanru gave herself an unexpected surprise...

"Miss, Prince Xin's carriage is still following us!" Yu Jie said angrily. She originally left the city and went back slowly, but she didn't expect that Prince Xin's carriage came in a hurry from behind. Xin was sitting in the carriage. Wang even opened the curtains and called his lady, which was really inappropriate.

Yu Jie could not wait to go over and beat up His Highness Prince Xin who did not know how to advance or retreat. Didn't he know that this behavior made his young lady be stigmatized?

"Stop the carriage and ask King Xin to come to the pavilion in front to talk!" Shao Wanjuo said decisively, it will definitely not work if this continues.

"Yes, miss!" Yujie hurriedly leaned out and said to the carriage driver outside. The carriage driver stopped in response.

As soon as their carriage stopped, the carriage of Prince Xin's Mansion also stopped. Prince Xin inside was even faster than Shao Wanru. He immediately jumped out of the carriage and walked to Shao Wanru's carriage in three steps at a time. He had to reach out to help Shao Wanru.

Yu Jie jumped off the carriage, squeezed away King Xin's hand, and helped Shao Wanru get out of the carriage carefully.

Shao Wanru stood still, glanced at King Xin coldly, and walked towards the pavilion on the roadside where people could rest.

King Xin hurriedly followed and continued the conversation at the eldest princess's house: "Cousin, in a few days I will go up to the mountain to find you to put the paper luan, okay? If you don't like the previous style, tell me, what do you like? Just let people do what they want!”

As if Shao Wanru didn't hear what he said, he continued to walk forward. When he reached the pavilion, he turned around and bowed deeply to King Xin who was following him. Then he raised his eyes and looked at him coldly and said: "Please explain clearly why His Highness Prince Xin is here!"

This question was so blunt that Chu Liuxin couldn't answer it at all. He opened his mouth and his face turned red first. He looked at Shao Wanru with great confusion. He felt that he had made it very obvious. It's obviously like a cousin. Why haven't you understood it yet? But he felt really embarrassed to say it himself.

In the past, although he would follow a group of dandy boys around and deliberately tease some beautiful girls, he had never really cared about her like this. He stood in front of her and looked at the reflection in those beautiful watery eyes. In his own figure, he couldn't even say the nonsense he used to say.

If in the past, such words would have been spoken casually, why should he hold back the words now and not be able to say them out.

King Xin's face turned red from suppressing his anger, and he looked at Shao Wanru eagerly, but he didn't say a word.

"Your Highness Prince Xin, does he know why I am going to Yuhui Temple now?" Seeing that he remained silent, Shao Wanru said calmly.

Chu Liuxin felt that the answer to this question was very good. She breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "My cousin naturally observes filial piety for her parents and lives alone in the nunnery for three years. This is a great thing of filial piety!"

"Since it is to observe filial piety, His Highness Prince Xin does not feel that he should be quiet and isolated from men. His Highness followed you all the way. How embarrassing is it for me? How do people think of me? Do you think that what I have done is completely inconsistent with the situation? It is the duty of a filial daughter to not really be filial to her parents?"

Shao Wanru's eyes were lowered, and his long and curled eyelashes fell quietly, like a tired butterfly, very cold and indifferent.

Chu Liuxin opened her mouth, but was speechless again. She had just chased her down excitedly and didn't think too much. She only knew what Shao Hua'an said: "A fair lady, a gentleman loves to beg." If you don't beg, the beauty will be How could he have known that now his heart was filled with heat and he chased her down, eager to let the beauty know what he was thinking.

At this time, when Shao Wanru said this, she immediately woke up, took a few steps back, and bowed deeply to Shao Wanru: "Cousin, I'm really sorry, I'm so rude!"

After saying that, although he was a little reluctant to leave, he still turned around and left.

"Miss, although His Highness Prince Xin followed our carriage before, he was not so eager or yelling so much." Yu Jie helped Shao Wanru back to the carriage. After sitting down, she felt confused. , judging from King Xin's behavior just now, he is not a person who doesn't understand anything or etiquette, how could he do such a thing.

"Someone reached out on purpose!" Shao Wanru smiled coldly. In the last life, Shao Huaan became the heir apparent of Xingguo Gong, and I heard that he was an extremely upright person with the same reputation as Shao Yanru. Everything has changed in this life, so he He is no longer the aloof prince Xingguo...
