Chapter 596: The Maid Who Takes the Blame

Shao Yanru hurried down the mountain that day. After coming down from the mountain, he was not in a hurry to go back to his hometown. He went directly to a place while asking someone to invite Chu Liuyue.

When Chu Liuyue entered the room, she smelled of alcohol, and she had obviously been drinking.

"Your Majesty!" Hearing the sound of Chu Liuyue entering the door, Shao Yanru stood up with red eyes. One look revealed that she had cried just now.

"What's going on?" Seeing the beautiful woman's tearful and helpless look, Chu Liuyue was indeed full of anger at first, but now she softened a bit.

"Your Majesty, I... I really don't know why this happened like this!" Shao Yanru said aggrievedly, wiping the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, but his eyes turned red.

"Why are there two different bottles of ointment, and one bottle is mixed with other things?" Chu Liuyue said displeased, "How could you make such a mistake at this time?"

"I...I don't know. She and I were both injured. We went down the mountain to get two bottles of ointment from the house. We didn't expect it to be like this." Shao Yanru looked panicked and confused.

Chu Liuyue turned to look at Shuqi who was standing next to Shao Yanru. Shuqi hurriedly knelt down and said, "When I went to the mansion to get it that day, Aunt Yu who was next to Mrs. Tai told the slave which bottle was the eldest lady. Yes, which bottle belongs to the fifth lady is really none of the eldest lady’s business.”

"Have you given any other instructions?" Chu Liuyue asked coldly.

"That's what you ordered me to do!" Shuqi nodded repeatedly.

"Since the two bottles of ointment are different, why don't you ask?" Chu Liuyue turned to Shao Yanru and asked with an unhappy expression.

"I...I thought that my ointment had good medicinal properties, while her ointment had poor medicinal properties. You know, my grandmother didn't like her, and it was normal for her to be partial to me. I naturally listened to my grandmother's wishes, so how could I do it on purpose? I ruined my grandma’s business, but I didn’t expect that this ointment was mixed with other things!”

Shao Yanru wiped away her tears in grievance, her lips were biting red, and her big eyes seemed to be soaked in water vapor. They were so beautiful that it made people feel distressed and moved their hearts.

Chu Liuyue's irritable heart calmed down, and she comforted her softly: "Okay, be careful next time you encounter this kind of thing, and don't cause anything to happen again. The eldest princess was furious just now and has already gone to you." A lot of things were smashed in the house!”

"This...how can this be like this? We...we are the Duke of Xingguo..." Shao Yanru was shocked and said in disbelief with red eyes.

"So what, Miss Shao Wu is the Grand Duke's granddaughter. Besides, this matter is indeed your family's responsibility. I heard that Dr. Qu helped to authenticate it. It shows that this matter is true. After you return to your family, please advise Please advise Madam, don’t let her cause any trouble and ruin the reputation of your Xingguo Palace, and then it will hurt you too!"

Chu Liuyue said to Shao Yanru that she was as beautiful as jade and they had grown up together since childhood. He had a lot of affection for her and could not bear her being dragged down by the Xingguo Duke's mansion.

"I know...I will go back and tell you, but...but what should I do now? The fifth sister will not let it go. The eldest princess knows that this matter was only started after she sent someone here just now. There was something wrong before What happened at Baiyunguan, and now this thing is happening again, I'm afraid Fifth Sister won't let the entire Xingguo Duke's Mansion live easy!" Shao Yanru said sadly.

Hearing that Shao Wanru would not make things easier for the entire Xingguo Palace, and looking at Shao Yanru's pear blossoms with rain, Chu Liuyue felt more and more that she had done the right thing before. This Miss Shao Wu was really an unpleasant person. The troublemaker.

"Don't worry, I will help you secretly. You go back and ask the wife to find someone to take the blame. Don't get involved with other aristocratic families. Even if other aristocratic families are no longer prosperous, they may not have trump cards. Say no. When you get it, it’s a lose-lose situation for both parties!”

"I know, I will listen to the prince!" Shao Yanru promised hurriedly and obediently, knowing that Chu Liuyue was referring to the previous matter involving Yong Kangbo Mansion.

Seeing how gentle and gentle she was, Chu Liuyue's face became a little prettier. She sat down on a chair on the side, holding the tea cup given by Xiao Qizi in her hand. She thought for a while and asked: "Are you, Qiu Yu and Chu Qing?" what relationship?"

"What?" Shao Wanru didn't understand what Chu Liuyue said for a moment. After being stunned for a moment, Shao Wanru asked slightly uneasily.

"I heard that Qiu Yu and Chu Qing are both at Yuhui'an now, and they are also in contact with you. How is your relationship with them?" Chu Liuyue looked up at Shao Yanru and asked casually.

Shao Yanru's heart tightened unconsciously, and she shook her head hastily: "Your Majesty, although I know Lord Qiu and Prince Qing, we are just acquaintances, and we have no contact with them!"

It would not be difficult for Chu Liuyue to find out about her visit to Maple Leaf Forest with Qiu Yu and Chu Qing. Shao Wanru was smart enough not to hide the matter, so he immediately told the truth about what happened in Maple Leaf Forest. Read it again.

Chu Qing met by chance, and Qiu Yu was invited because of Shao Wanru's matter. Later, it was also because Shao Wanru injured his foot that the three of them only went shopping for a while, but then they immediately came to accompany Shao Wanru.

Most of these things are true, only some of them are concealed based on her interactions with Qiu Yu and Chu Qing, but these key points make the meaning of the whole statement completely different.

The look on Chu Liuyue's face was quite satisfactory. She nodded immediately and stopped asking any more questions. She just asked her to be careful when she returned home and sent someone to send her out.

After getting on his carriage, Shao Yanru's carriage did not go anywhere else this time, but went directly to the Xingguo Duke's Mansion.

Just after entering the house and getting off the carriage, he saw his mother standing in front of the carriage very excitedly. When he saw her coming down, he rushed over and said with concern, "Ru'er, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, mother, I'm fine. How is grandma?" Shao Yanru said with a slight smile.

"Your grandmother was so angry that she almost fainted. She just drank medicine and fell asleep. Ru'er, why are you so careless? It's not that your foot was not injured, so why was it so seriously injured?" Mrs. Xingguo pulled Shao Yanru inside. He complained softly.

The most wrong thing about this matter is that Shao Yanru thought that Shao Wanru was not injured, so she asked the imperial doctor. If this time it was not an imperial doctor, but just an ordinary doctor, it would be easier to explain, and she could even secretly threaten the doctor to change his story. Say something else that will allow Duke Xingguo to prove his innocence.

But now things are going wrong because of the doctor Qu invited by Duke Xingguo.

It feels like you have lifted a brick and hit yourself in the foot!

"Mom, check the people around grandma to see who can use the ointment!" Shao Yanru said calmly on the way, having already thought of a countermeasure.

"Who do you think it is?" Mrs. Xingguo knew it well, looked around and asked in a low voice.

Several maids and mothers-in-law followed them a few steps away, not too far or too close to ensure that they could see them, but they could not hear their words. No one else was seen along the way. Just then Princess Ruian The way he rushed in and banged around scared all the servants in the house.

"The person who can get the key to grandma's private treasury should be grandma's confidant." Shao Yanru hinted.

"Aunt Yu?" Madam Xingguo rolled her eyes.

"This won't work, grandma won't agree, but you can mention Grandma Yu first, and then Shuiyan next to grandma, so grandma will let her go!" Shao Yanru said, if you mention Shuiyan first, grandma will probably feel distressed too. , but if I mentioned Grandma Yu first and then Shuiyan, I believe my grandmother would give up Shuiyan.

"Ti Shuiyan? But Shuiyan is..." Mrs. Xingguo's face darkened, and she said in embarrassment. Shuiyan's identity is the maid next to the Taifu. Apart from Grandma Yu, Shuiyan is the most important maid in the Taifu. She is the most powerful person around her. In the past, Shuiyan often showed her kindness to Duke Xingguo. Although she was not from Duke Xingguo's wife, she was always the one who showed kindness to her by the wife's side, so she was reluctant to punish her.

"Mother, now that you are reluctant to let go of Shuiyan, is it possible to make this matter unclear? If a few more unclear things happen in our mansion, the entire Xingguo Duke's mansion will be affected. What will happen to my daughter then? I can successfully marry into the royal family!" Shao Yanru felt aggrieved and her eyes turned red when she looked at Duke Xingguo's wife.

Mrs. Xingguo was not reluctant to part with Shuiyan because of her kindness. Seeing Shao Yanru's appearance, she nodded and stamped her feet vigorously, "Okay, then Shuiyan!"

A servant's life is always more important than his daughter's reputation...

The eldest princess Ruian aggressively led people to destroy the Xingguo Duke's Mansion, which once again pushed the Xingguo Duke's Mansion into the limelight. First it was about the Baiyun Temple, then it was about the ointment, and later it was about the Tai Madam. A big maid had a vicious mind. Because Miss Shao Wu slapped her when she was in the house, she held a grudge in her heart, so she mixed the medicine with other powdered medicine.

Of course, this maid was sold after being beaten twenty times.

But a little maid dared to mix other things into the ointment used by Miss Shao Wu, which also shows that this Miss Shao Wu really does not deserve the attention of the Duke of Xingguo. Think about it after she was recognized. It was once said that even the yard was burned down, forcing Miss Shao Wu to live in Yuhui Nunnery.

There are various rumors that Duke Xingguo's Palace treats this fifth lady harshly, and even intends to drive this fifth lady out of Duke Xingguo's Palace. As for why, it is said that it is because of the title of Duke Xingguo's Palace, because the two people in the big house of Duke Xingguo's Palace A child blocked the way of the second room, so he attacked Miss Shao Wu.

This rumor is said to be based on statistics from many incidents. As for why Shao Yuanhao is not dealt with, it is because he is currently at the eldest princess of Ruian, and Xingguo Duke's hand does not dare to reach out.

These words were spread more and more fiercely due to recent events and connected with things that happened in the past. The more they spread, the more people believed them. Some officials even began to collect information about them and prepare to participate in Xingguo Gong's performance.

But at this moment, another rumor came out, which completely broke the good situation that Shao Wanying had created before...
