Chapter 814 Fifth Sister, Save Me!

"It's gone, but there is something similar, and it looks pretty good. That's what father meant. I wonder what grandma meant?" Shao Hua'an said.

The madam pondered again, but did not answer directly this time. She said after a while: "Then first check which house bought it."

This means I still want the original one.

"Okay, then I'll go tell my father now!" Shao Huaan stood up and said with a smile.

"Go!" said the lady.

Shao Hua'an saluted the wife, nodded to Shao Wanru, and then turned and left.

Shao Wanru's eyes fell on him. This eldest brother seemed to be really well-behaved and kind. If it weren't for Shao Yanru's experience, she might have really believed him, and her eyes could not help but darken.

"Your eldest brother is also busy now. Some of your mother's old things were given away by her and lost. Grandma will try her best to get them back for you. If you really can't get them back, there is really nothing you can do. "The madam sighed and her expression darkened.

Shao Wanru lowered his head and said softly: "Thank you, grandma!"

But she didn't say a word not to collect it. Grandma must have forced the madam to find it. She couldn't say anything more at this time, and she couldn't hinder her grandmother.

Seeing that Shao Wanru accepted this fact so calmly, Mrs. Tai's heart was filled with blood, and she really wanted to spit it out. She actually agreed like this, as if this was what she should do in the first place. Mrs. Tai was angry and angry. Annoyed, but had to suppress the anger in his heart.

"What can be taken back is naturally the best. I'm afraid I won't be able to take it back for a while. Your second aunt... also lost part of it before. I'm afraid I can't get it back even if I try to find it. I want to send someone to find your second aunt to ask about this. But..." The lady paused here, seeming to be hesitant.

Shao Wanru's brain was spinning rapidly, and he took a peek at the expression on Mrs. Tai's face. He saw that she seemed to be in a difficult situation, her brows were knitted tightly, and she looked like she didn't know how to deal with it. Such an obvious expression, coupled with the Shao Wanru already understood what Mrs. Tai said just now, and she meant to target him.

He said nothing, lowered his head and pinched the handkerchief in his hand, as if he didn't understand what the madam meant, and waited quietly for the madam to finish speaking.

There was a silence in the room for a while, and the wife felt depressed again. Sure enough, she was not raised by her since she was a child, and she would never be considerate. If she was her eldest granddaughter, she would definitely take the initiative at this time. How could she let herself be so cold? Finished.

She coughed again, but no one answered, so she had to say something.

"I'm getting older and I don't have the energy to go find your second aunt and ask questions. Your third aunt is not in good health either. Why don't you pick one of your sisters to go with you and ask your second aunt directly where some things are?" Know!"

The lady said.

Choose another sister?

The only ones who can choose are the second young lady Shao Yujie and the fourth young lady Shao Cailing. Thinking about the differences between these two people, Shao Wanru already knows that the second lady Shao Yujie must be the one the Tai Madam asked him to choose.

This matter is related to the first and second bedrooms, and has no direct relationship with the third bedroom. Moreover, now that the third bedroom is injured and sick, Shao Cailing will not be willing to leave.

At this time, what does Mrs. Tai mean by asking her to take Shao Jie'er to find Jiang? She was doubtful in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She raised her watery eyes and looked at Tairen clearly, nodded and agreed: "Grandma said, everything is according to grandma's orders!"

Seeing that Shao Wanru was still quite smart, Mrs. Tai showed a smile on her face: "The fourth girl came out of the palace in a good mood, and she also had to take care of the third girl and her mother, so she couldn't stay. The second girl is now It's nothing, just take him with you, there will be care between the two of you, otherwise I won't worry."

The madam said this very tactfully and with concern. She didn't mention anything about the eldest princess Ruian before, as if she really didn't care.

"If I go to Yuhui Temple now, will it disturb my second aunt's spiritual cultivation?" Shao Wanru asked.

In fact, everyone knows that the Jiang family is being punished, and it is not that she wants to clean up her family wholeheartedly. If something happens to the wife of a wealthy family, this is the most direct and decent way to say it.

Shao Wanru had been practicing filial piety for her parents before, and there were vague rumors that the Duke of Xingguo didn't want to see her. That night, the fire started and shocked half the city, so everyone thought her filial piety was true. It was to keep filial piety to his parents, and at the same time, he went to the nunnery specifically because the government of Xingguo was not kind.

Now the Jiang family is different. All the previous rumors were negative to her, and even related to the palace. Then she was sent to Yuhui Temple to practice and recuperate.

It was under such circumstances that the wife of the head of the family went to repair and recuperate. Who didn't know that the Jiang family was actually exiled.

"No, your second aunt actually... doesn't hide this from you. She is doing this herself. If it weren't for your eldest sister and eldest brother, she would not let her go this time!" The lady said, "Go up the mountain and ask. Just ask her, and don’t ignore her if she says something bad, grandma will definitely make the decision for you when you come back!”

Mrs. Tai became more and more kind, sincerely confessed her feelings, and said she would support Shao Wanru.

Seeing the Madam like this, Shao Wanru's lips curled up silently, and then she hid the sarcasm in her eyes. The Madam was really a "charitable" old lady. She was also an old lady, and Mrs. Qin looked at her in her eyes. The kindness is real and not a false expression like the Madam's.

"Thank you grandma, will my second sister and I go tomorrow?" Shao Wanru asked softly.

"In fact, the sooner the better, but you have just returned to the house, so you have to rest first." Madam Tai nodded, and then said, "You can take care of this matter. If you think you can go when, please inform in advance. Call grandma, and grandma will have someone prepare a carriage and manpower for you!"

"Is there any other manpower?" Shao Wanru looked up in surprise and asked.

"Of course I have to prepare a few people for you. They are all people around me. Your second aunt will not talk nonsense when she sees you!" the wife said.

In other words, the Madam will send people to follow her. What is this for? Do you really want to go up the mountain to ask for the items from your mother’s dowry?

If this is really the reason, wouldn't it be better for the Madam to send Aunt Yu up the mountain to say a word than to mobilize troops like this herself? Going up the mountain to ask for things from Chiang in such a big way, how will others see you?

He said that he was going to marry King Chen and would soon be Princess Chen, so he bullied others and was arrogant and domineering, even his aunt who was punished on the mountain?

There are many people in the world who see things superficially, but how many people can tell clearly what is true and false.

Madam Tai made a good move. She transferred the complaints from outside to herself, forcing her aunt to go to the mountain to pray for a dowry. If she did something else, it would be really embarrassing. .

But her own face is now also the face of Duke Xingguo. How the concubine will make her grandmother give in while ensuring her own face is a key issue.

And where is the key?

Thinking about the key point of this matter, Shao Wanru walked forward in deep thought. Unexpectedly, he met Shao Jie'er halfway along the way, and the two of them walked face to face.

"Fifth sister!" Shao Jie'er didn't look good. After seeing Shao Wanru stunned for a moment, she whispered.

"Second sister!" Shao Wanru nodded casually and continued walking forward.

The two of them were about to miss each other, and Shao Jie'er suddenly said again: "Fifth sister, please stay!"

Shao Wanru turned her head and looked at Shao Jie'er in surprise. Seeing that her expression was a bit pleading, she fluttered her long eyelashes twice, stood still, raised her eyebrows in confusion and said, "Second sister?"

"Fifth sister, can I say a word to you?" Shao Jie'er said, her voice low.

"If there's anything you need, second sister, can you tell me here?" Shao Wanru looked around and found no one else.

"Fifth sister, just say, don't stay here, let's go behind the rockery, okay?" Shao Jie'er also looked up and pointed to a rockery on the side.

The rockery was right on the roadside, leaning against an empty yard on one side and facing the road on the other. It was true that no one would see it behind the rockery, but she had nothing to say to Shao Jie'er, and she didn't think the two of them were so close. reached the point.

"Second sister, if you have something to say, let's say it here. There's nothing wrong with saying anything to others. We two don't have to do this. This is in the Xingguo Duke's mansion. We are sisters, and no one will say anything nonsense!"

Shao Wanru shook his head and refused with a smile.

"Fifth sister, I...I really have something to tell you!" When Shao Jie'er couldn't tell Shao Wanru, she suddenly held the handkerchief and shed tears.

This scene surprised Shao Wanru. She really didn't know when her relationship with Shao Jie'er had become so good that she had to hide and whisper.

He frowned, pointed at the rockery and said, "Second sister, since we have to go there to talk, let's come together!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the rockery. Shao Jie'er followed. When the two of them turned to a corner inside the rockery and looked at the location of the corner, Shao Wanru raised his eyes and looked at an attic diagonally across the corner. After taking a quick look, I saw that the place was a bit far away from here, but the angle was right on it. It was a coincidence if anyone saw it.

The curtains in the attic were half rolled up, the gauze was slightly falling, and no one could be seen.

"If you have anything to do with Second Sister, you must come here to tell me!" Shao Wanru turned around and looked at Shao Jie'er and asked slowly, waiting for Shao Jie'er to give him an explanation. His watery eyes fell on Shao Jie'er coldly. The color was so dark that it could penetrate almost all of Shao Jie'er's thoughts.

Shao Jie'er panicked and hurriedly stretched out her handkerchief to wipe away her tears. Then she knelt down with a thump under Shao Wanru's Yu Jie's astonished gaze, crying: "Fifth sister, save me!"
