Chapter 583 Entering the Game and Deliberately Arousing Suspicion!
"Miss, this hairpin... doesn't fit well, does it?" As Shao Wanru's personal maid, she is naturally very familiar with Shao Wanru's accessories. This hairpin was not given by others, but made by Shao Wanru himself. It's made of bamboo, not ordinary bamboo, but the purple bamboo from Huaguang Temple.
This purple bamboo was obtained from His Highness King Chen. Not everyone can get the purple bamboo from Huaguang Temple.
When he got it back, Shao Wanru cut a sharp hairpin by himself, but later the hairpin was taken away by His Highness King Chen. When it appeared again, the originally crude hairpin had an orchid carved on it, purple. The orchids were decorated with hairpins using the original color of the purple bamboo, making them look extremely brilliant.
This hairpin Shao Wan seemed to have been placed in a secret compartment at the corner of the jewelry box in the past. When Yujie took it out before, Shao Yanru didn't see it because of the secret compartment and put a hairpin there. No one will notice if you take it out.
"Just this one!" Shao Wanru insisted.
"Yes!" Seeing the young lady's insistence, Yu Jie could only agree. She carefully inserted the hairpin into her hair and pinned her hair firmly. Just now, although the bun was still there, it was a little loose. If it hadn't been done earlier, If you pin the hairpin on, it will surely come loose after a while. It would be rude if others see it.
There is a light purple hairpin on the black hair, and the slightly raised head looks like an orchid, and upon closer inspection, it is indeed an orchid. It is very unique and beautiful, and it suits her well. The originally plain silk clothes suddenly became very vivid. Only the hairpin on this body had some color.
But this kind of natural purple has a light elegance to it. Even though this color seems a bit out of the ordinary for Shao Wanru's garb, it still has a harmonious beauty.
"Let's go!" Shao Wanru looked at the road ahead and walked forward slowly.
Yujie followed closely.
This time Shao Wanru really focused on enjoying the scenery. Her feet were still swollen and it was inconvenient to walk, so she simply held Yu Jie's arm and walked while enjoying the scenery, stopping from time to time to pick up a few pieces to look like. The particularly beautiful red leaves were kept by Yu Jie.
Most of the maple leaves that fell from the trees were broken and unevenly red, and few were intact and colorful. Shao Wanru walked around and only picked out a dozen or so that he liked.
"Fifth sister, are your feet healed?" When Shao Wanru squatted down to pick up the red leaves on the ground and take a closer look, Shao Yanru's voice suddenly came to her ears, with a bit of gentle surprise.
Shao Wanru raised his head and saw Shao Yanru, Qiu Yu, and Chu Qing walking back in front of him. He did not get up, but only raised the red leaves in his hands.
"Sister, I am selecting good maple leaves."
"Why are you so pretentious with Feng, the fifth sister?" Shao Yanru walked over and asked with a surprised look on her face.
"If you like these, just pick them back. It's also good to put them in the book!" Shao Wanru lowered his head again and gestured to the two maple leaves in his hand. Both of them were still in good condition.
"Fifth sister, please get up quickly. Is your foot healed? Doesn't it hurt when you squat like this?" Shao Yanru said with concern, and was about to come over and pull Shao Wanru.
"Miss, please don't pull our young lady, our young lady's feet hurt and she can't get up for a while!" Yu Jie stood up and stopped Shao Yanru's hand and said.
Her hand happened to block Shao Yanru's hand.
"Then let her get up. How can she do this while squatting like this? She was already injured and couldn't move, and the few steps she took before were so painful that she was sweating profusely!" Shao Yanru looked more and more concerned, but she didn't reach out again. , but advised from the side.
It hurt to take a few steps before and I was sweating profusely, but now I have to walk a lot of distance. Chu Qing looked at Shao Wanru and saw that her expression was quite peaceful. There was no sweat on her fair forehead, and her eyes were dark. A trace of doubt appeared, could it be that Miss Shao Wu was just faking her previous injuries?
Qiu Yu's eyes also fell on Shao Wanru's face. He couldn't see his face under the veil, but it didn't look so painful above the veil. Is it fake?
Shao Wanru stood up holding Yu Jie's hand. Perhaps he had squatted for a long time and stumbled slightly. Fortunately, Yu Jie was prepared and grabbed her with a strong hand, and did not let go until she stabilized herself.
"I'm feeling better, thank you for your concern, eldest sister!" Shao Wanru said softly, looking at the three people who came together and seemed to be in a good atmosphere, "eldest sister, have you finished shopping too? How is the scenery in front? What if my feet are not good? Even if you are injured, you can go to the front with eldest sister to take a look at this time!"
There was a look of sadness in his eyes as he spoke.
Shao Yanru glanced at Shuqi, who immediately stepped forward, approached Shao Wanru affectionately, and said with a smile: "Fifth Miss, you can finish the walk. You can try to move your feet. You see you have walked so far just now." It’s been a long way, so if you move a little bit, it’s okay!”
These words sounded like they were encouraging Shao Wanru, but upon closer inspection, they said that Shao Wanru was just pretending.
It is true that she could hardly walk even one step after being injured before, but everyone saw the way she was holding on. Then her forehead hurt so much that she started sweating, but now she seems to be getting better, not only squatting on the ground It's nothing serious, even getting up just now felt very comfortable. Is this true or false?
Chu Qing looked at the place where she was now, and estimated that there was quite a long way to go. It seemed that this Miss Shao Wu should have walked over shortly after the others left, with a hint of thoughtfulness in her eyes.
Qiu Yu was not as reserved as Chu Qing. He looked Shao Wanru up and down and couldn't help but said, "Miss Shao Wu, are you not hurt?"
This is an extremely unpleasant thing to say. What it means is that Shao Wanru’s previous behavior was just a pretense. She was a pretending lady from a wealthy family, and she was still pretending to be in front of a man. It was really very disturbing. It may even make people doubt her purpose and character.
Shao Yanru didn't actually think in that direction. After all, she had seen Shao Wanru's injured appearance before, and how he was so painful that he was sweating profusely and couldn't even speak. How could he pretend to be like that?
But now, she felt that Shao Wanru was really good at pretending. This was obviously because she was deceived by her at that time. She never thought that she would be deceived one day too. Shao Yanru sneered in her heart. In this case, it was a good opportunity, so she simply gave up. Shao Wanru's skin allowed Qiu Yu and Chu Qing to see clearly how pretentious Shao Wanru was.
She is the most distinguished young lady in the Xingguo Palace, the most elegant and dignified. Naturally, she needs someone else to serve as a foil. Shao Wanru came to her door to serve as her foil. How could she not accept it?
I originally wanted to step on her, but since she asked for it, now I can't blame myself. I can only blame her for being stupid and playing tricks on herself.
"What do you mean, Lord Qiu? Our fifth lady was naturally injured. Could it be that it was fake before!" Yu Jie's face turned cold and she said rudely to Qiu Yu.
"Master Qiu, the fifth sister has always been honest. How could she do such a thing? Master Qiu has gone too far!"
Shao Yanru's face darkened and she followed Yu Jie's lead.
Qiu Yu's face turned red, and then turned purple. He was scolded by his beloved for someone else's affairs, and he was scolded in front of the Qing County Prince. Qiu Yu felt extremely shameless.
As he walked over just now, he also saw that the Prince of Qing County seemed to have a vague affection for Miss Shao, which reminded him more and more of the scene he saw when he came here just now.
The combination of handsome men and beautiful women is very eye-catching, but he doesn't like it!
Now being accused by Shao Yanru in front of Chu Qing, even though it was meant gently, Qiu Yu felt extremely embarrassed. He couldn't lose this face, and he definitely couldn't lose face in front of Chu Qing.
"Miss Fifth, I will review the case just now. Whether Miss Shao Wu is injured is related to the handling of this matter. Miss Shao Wu still asked me to wait and check to see if she is injured!" Qiu Yu He coughed hard and said coldly in a businesslike manner.
These words were extremely harsh, and he looked at Shao Wanru with cold eyes, as if Shao Wanru would assume that Shao Wanru had deliberately plotted against others if he disagreed.
This move of his made Shao Yanru very satisfied. She had just passed by, and of course she could sense the uncomfortable feeling between Qiu Yu and Chu Qing. She was secretly proud when she saw that Qiu Yu had indeed been picked on by her!
"Master Qiu, the fifth sister is a noble daughter, how can she check it in public!" Shao Yanru retorted and stood in front of Shao Wanru, as if to prevent Shao Wanru from being bullied.
"Don't worry, eldest lady, Prince Qing and I will retreat, and the eldest lady will check. I believe that the eldest lady will be an honest lady, and will never bring discredit to the Duke of Xingguo!" Qiu Yu looked at her seriously. He told Shao Yanru that of course he would not let Shao Yanru think that he was a disciple, so he looked at Chu Qing after he finished speaking.
Chu Qing naturally nodded.
"Fifth sister..." Shao Yanru looked at Shao Wanru with a troubled expression.
Shao Wanru was about to cry because of Qiu Yu, who had unknowingly fallen into Shao Yanru's trap, and felt that Shao Yanru was a good lady, and needless to say, she would be the one who would discredit the Duke Xingguo's government.
The corners of her lips curled up silently, and she raised her watery eyes to look at Shao Yanru, "Does the eldest sister want me to take off my shoes and check them to prove that the eldest sister is a good lady, and I am the one who will discredit the Duke Xingguo's palace?"
Since everyone present had no good intentions toward him, Shao Wanru was no longer polite.
"Miss, Mr. Qiu said something, and you listened to it in your ears and took it to heart. But you didn't believe even a single word of what our young lady said. Which one is more trustworthy, Mr. Qiu or our young lady? Could it be that you are trusting Mr. Qiu or our young lady? In the young lady’s mind, is our young lady such an untrustworthy person?”
Yu Jie stood in front of Shao Wanru with an angry face, glared at Shao Yanru who was acting hypocritically, and said, these words were extremely unpleasant. The smile on Shao Yanru's face could hardly be stretched, and she almost couldn't help but reach out and slap Yu Jie twice. This maid How dare she say such a thing? Who gave her the courage to say such a thing in front of her?
"Presumptuous, this is what a slave like you should say!" Shuqi shouted angrily, taking two steps forward and reaching out to give Yujie a slap!
She is Shao Yanru's eldest maid, and she has always been respected by the servants in Duke Xingguo's mansion!
