Chapter 780: With Malicious Intentions, Secretly Sending Banknotes

The maid guarding the side hall was called over. Shao Yanru asked Shuqi to help her up. She was pale because of excessive blood loss: "Has the Queen ordered... the fifth sister to stay in Fengyi Palace?"

"The Queen didn't say it clearly!" the palace maid thought for a while and said.

"Fifth sister...comes to take care of me every day. You don't have to live here, right?" Shao Yanru asked weakly.

"This..." The palace maid really didn't dare to answer such a thing. She was just a little palace maid and didn't know what her master was thinking.

"Go and call the person in charge of this side hall, okay?" Shao Yanru opened her eyes slightly, feeling very weak. Shuqi let her lean on the thick soft cushion, and smartly gave the palace maid a bulging kiss. purse.

"Okay, ladies, please wait a moment. I'll be back as soon as I can!" A smile appeared on the maid's face, she nodded repeatedly, took the purse and stuffed it into her sleeves, turned around and left.

Shao Wanru watched all this calmly, without interfering or saying anything.

The person in charge was an eunuch. After he came in, he saluted the two of them with a smile. He knew that something had happened to the eldest lady of the Xingguo Palace, but neither the Queen nor the Emperor blamed her, and even showed some unexplained care.

"My father-in-law, it's not convenient for my fifth sister to live here. Besides, she is still in the draft. I can't let her come over to take care of me every day just because... I ruined her affairs... but she still lives in Chuxiu Palace. good?"

Shao Yanru said softly, smiling before saying anything. Although she was extremely uncomfortable, she still managed to finish her words. The meaning of her words was all for Shao Wanru's consideration, which was really very pleasing to people.

The eunuch glanced at Shao Wanru, who looked like it had nothing to do with him, and then at Shao Yanru, who could only barely speak. He actually felt a little sympathetic. This fifth Miss Shao was obviously not very interested in Miss Shao. Miss Shao Even now, he still has to take care of Miss Shao Wu.

I felt a bit of pity in my heart. I had long heard that the eldest lady of Xingguo Duke's Mansion was dignified, decent and generous. When I saw her today, she was indeed like this.

"It's okay for the fifth lady to live in Chuxiu Palace, but she must come here every day, otherwise the Queen will definitely blame her!" The eunuch said with a smile. The words were meant for Shao Yanru, but his face turned to Shao Wanru's side. The meaning was obvious, he was actually talking about Shao Wanru.

Shao Wanru watched calmly as Shao Yanru used her own affairs to win over the eunuch in charge. She fluttered her long eyelashes twice and raised her watery eyes. The water in her eyes was flowing and extremely sparkling.

"Sister, don't you think about it? In fact, I can live here too."

"Fifth sister... you don't need it. I have Shuqi by my side... I don't need so many people..." Shao Yanru said softly, shaking her head with a pale face, and then continued to say to the eunuch, "Fifth sister will come here every day , Father-in-law, please don’t worry, I have to trouble my father-in-law to tell the people at the palace gate to facilitate the fifth sister’s entry and exit!”

"This slave has his own orders!" The eunuch glanced at Shao Wanru with dissatisfaction. This sister is really tolerant. To act like this at such a time, Miss Shao is really very pitiful and very generous. This hypocritical sister is still so caring.

"I'm sorry, father-in-law!" Shao Yanru said again, closing her eyes because she was too weak. Although her previous move was a bit measured, it must have been hurt, and it was serious. After saying these words, she was already mentally exhausted. He was very pale, and his face was pale and blue.

Seeing her like this, the eunuch knew that she really couldn't hold it in any longer. He left immediately and when he got outside the door, he couldn't help but shook his head. The fifth young lady of Duke Xingguo's mansion was really not very good. She didn't have any sisterly feelings at all. Speaking, and not knowing how to do things, it is really useless to have to be the elder sister to arrange everything at this time. Just having a good appearance is just a stepping stone for others.

"Father-in-law, I'm really sorry. Miss, thank you so much!" Shuqi chased him out and quietly handed over a banknote he had prepared in his hand.

The eunuch hid it with his sleeves, and the smile on his face became more and more sincere. Just at a glance, he had already seen the amount on it clearly. The eldest lady of Xingguo Duke's mansion had indeed made an extraordinary move.

"Let your lady rest assured that everything will be properly arranged, that is, your fifth lady..." The eunuch lowered his voice when he said this, "You fifth lady didn't think about your lady, so why should your lady bother?" Care about her!"

Just now he saw Shuqi beside Shao Yanru's bed. She should be the personal maid of the young lady lying on the bed.

"There is nothing our young ladies can do... The fifth young lady is the only hope for our Duke Xingguo. If... if it is possible, I would like your father-in-law to say a few kind words for our fifth young lady!" Shuqi looked behind him awkwardly and came closer. The eunuch whispered.

Does this mean that most of the banknotes were given to Miss Shao Wu?

The eunuch's face darkened, and he became dissatisfied. This dissatisfaction was of course because of Shao Wanru. After entering the door just now, the fifth lady of Xingguo Duke's Mansion just stayed silent, as if these things had nothing to do with her, and Shao Wanru had nothing to do with her. It was as if the eldest lady had arranged everything for her.

Not only did she have no sisterly love, but she also looked down upon him.

"It's better for you, the fifth lady, not to be selected. With her appearance, she's pretty good, but here... it's not that good. If she stays, she'll bring disaster to your Xingguo Palace!" The eunuch pointed at himself. head, which means there is something wrong with Shao Wanru’s head.

"No... how could it be possible? Our fifth lady is very smart!" Shuqi lowered his head uneasily and explained dryly. It seemed more and more unbelievable that Shao Wanru was really smart.

"Not only are you fifth ladies useless here, but you also have no sense of sisterhood. Look at what she looked like just now... Your eldest lady is devoted to her. It's good for her that she has no intention of taking care of her. If she is allowed to stay here all day long, Take care of it, you may not know what it will look like!"

The eunuch mocked, and after finishing speaking, his heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly asked: "Did you, the fifth lady, voluntarily stay to take care of your eldest lady?"

The question was unexpected, but Shuqi felt happy. This was originally what Shao Yanru hinted to her to convey to the eunuch in charge.

"Yes, our fifth lady is very good. She kept asking her to stay and take care of our eldest lady. She said that she would only leave after taking good care of our eldest lady. Maybe the fifth lady was embarrassed to say anything when my father-in-law came. , In fact, the fifth lady was very good to our eldest lady just now."

Shuqi explained, but the words were spoken too quickly, giving people the feeling of trying to cover up.

"Thank you, father-in-law. I will go back and take care of our eldest lady first!" The message he wanted to convey had already been conveyed. Shuqi immediately saluted sideways to the eunuch, and then hurriedly turned back and went in.

The young lady repeatedly hinted that she could not stay outside for too long, otherwise the fifth lady would be suspicious. She had originally wanted to send a purse in the house, but Shao Yanru hinted it with her eyes, and then the eunuch also asked her when he came out. Follow me and give you a banknote.

The master and the servant have done this kind of thing frequently in the past, and they cooperate very well.

As for why he said this, before Shao Wanru came over, Shao Yanru gave Shuqi the opportunity to guide him like this, and now the opportunity has come.

Seeing Shuqi who couldn't explain clearly and was eager to leave, the eunuch sneered. Sure enough, this Miss Shao Wu had bad intentions. She clearly wanted to take a liking to His Highness the King of Zhou and wanted to get the moon first by getting close to the water.

Under the guise of protecting my sick sister, I’m not sure what I was thinking. In the past, there were ladies from aristocratic families who stayed in the palace for various reasons. Many of them pretended to be too delicate and threw themselves into their arms. Not all of them were eyeing Princess Zhou’s position. .

Sisterly love? One look at the appearance of this fifth young lady and she knew that she was not on good terms with Miss Shao. Any talk of sisterly love was just false.

I have to find some time to remind the queen's mother-in-law that she must not let Miss Shao Wu have the opportunity to get close to His Highness King Zhou. That face is worth looking at, but it is not only cold-hearted and cold-hearted, but also a human being. Useless idiot, how could His Highness the King of Zhou want such a person by his side.

The eunuch was from Fengyi Palace. Of course he was on King Zhou's side. He taunted the door of the side hall and turned to leave. Not only the nanny in charge, but also several close friends also had to give them a warning. When Miss Shao Wu comes over, you have to keep a close eye on her, so as not to cause any scandal and make the queen angry...

Shao Wanru looked at Shuqi with an extremely calm expression, his watery eyes fell on Shuqi's face, which made Shuqi feel frightened, as if he had some guilty conscience that was seen through by the Fifth Miss.

Yujie clenched her fists. After standing outside for so long, the eldest lady was injured like this. Will it take so long to deliver a purse? It was obvious that he was just whispering in secret. The eldest lady is still like this and still doesn't stop. It's really annoying.

"Fifth sister, you go back today. I'll take a nap now... I really don't have any energy..." Hearing Shuqi's footsteps, Shao Yanru opened her eyes with difficulty. She really didn't have any energy.

"It's still early now. Sister, just take a nap first. I'll go back later!" Shao Wanru said coldly.

"Okay!" Shao Yanrubi lost too much blood. At this time, she already had a plan in mind and lay down weakly. Shuqi helped her lie down, covered her with a quilt, and then stepped aside.

The room was very quiet, except for Shao Yanru's quiet breathing.

Shuqi moved her feet uneasily. What she saw when standing on the bedside was Shao Yanru's face. What she could sense behind her was Miss Fifth's gaze. She didn't dare to move, as if if she moved, Miss Fifth would see through her. , the whole person was in a tense state, and only when she stood in front of the bed did she feel the support given to her by her own lady.

Time passed little by little, and there was no sound behind him. Shuqi wanted to look back and see what the fifth lady was doing, but he didn't dare to move. His heart became more and more panicked, and his hanging fingers twitched twice involuntarily.

"Shu Qi!" Shao Wanru's cold voice came from behind, but it hit her heart like thunder.
