Chapter 815 The Transaction Between Second and Third Bedrooms
"Second sister, what's the matter?" Shao Wanru looked at Shao Jie'er with faint eyes. Yujie came over and pulled Shao Jie'er up, saying anxiously, "Second sister, what's wrong with you? Where did you hit? You stand first. Get up and tell our lady if you have anything to say."
Her strength was so great that Shao Jie'er was forced to stand up. The maid who was following Shao Jie'er saw that it was not good and also helped Shao Jie'er.
Shao Jie'er had already stood up and knelt down, but she couldn't do it anymore. At this time, she covered her face with a handkerchief and just started crying.
Shao Wanru's eyes moved, and there was a trace of darkness in his eyes.
"What do you mean by the second sister? Did you call me here specifically just to let me see you cry?" She was also a little angry at this time. Shao Jie'er helped Shao Yanru deal with her. She didn't even see her in the past. How could An be so kind? He actually looked like he was being bullied at this moment, and he even knelt down just now.
If others see it, they can't think that they have done anything to her.
"Fifth sister, please help me, please help me, I can't find anyone else except you!" Shao Jie'er cried, feeling extremely sad while wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
"If the second sister can't tell me why, then I'll leave first. Let's wait until the second sister thinks about it clearly!" Shao Wanru's face darkened and he started to walk out.
"Fifth sister, my father wants to marry me to the third sister." Shao Jie'er cried loudly.
Shao Wanru paused for a moment before she returned to Xingguo Duke's Mansion. For a moment, she really couldn't understand the meaning of Shao Jie'er's words.
Seeing Shao Wanru stop, Shao Jie'er said again: "Fifth sister, that is my marriage. Even if the third sister's face is ruined, it is still my marriage. Why should I give it to the third sister!"
"The third sister wants this marriage of yours? The marriage with Prince Qingjun?" Shao Wanru asked in surprise, almost not believing his ears, "Did the second uncle tell you?"
"No, you didn't tell me. I overheard what my father and third uncle said, saying that the third sister's face was ruined and there would be no good marriage in the future. What did they say about me? It doesn’t matter. There will be a good marriage waiting for me in the future, but it’s my turn to have a good marriage. I...I am seventeen years old, and I am a concubine..."
Shao Jie'er cried.
Shao Wanru's eyes darkened, and his watery eyes blinked silently. His long eyelashes covered up the doubt in his eyes. Will the second uncle really give his daughter's marriage to the third uncle?
Speaking of this third uncle, Shao Wanru has only met him two or two times. This third uncle is very low-key and not very promising. He has a false position in the government office and has a lot of contacts with some friends. The wife is very fond of him. He wasn't very happy either, but he was his biological son and couldn't ignore it.
It was also because he didn't put in much effort that the third wife's position in the mansion was just that of a vassal. He didn't expect that he would discuss the marriage in front of his second uncle.
"Did the third uncle ask for it or the second uncle took the initiative to give it to me?" I was suspicious in my heart, but asked calmly on my face.
"It was the third uncle who came to ask for the marriage. I... I happened to be folding flowers behind my father's study. I heard that the third uncle came to ask for this marriage. He said... that the third sister was also ruined because of entering the palace, saying that it was for Duke Xingguo. The government...ask father to give this marriage to the third sister!"
Shao Jie'er wiped her tears hard.
"Third sister's face is really ruined?" Shao Wanru asked with a slight frown.
"Yes, I heard it's not very good. Even though I'm recovering now, I'm afraid there will still be scars on my face. Several doctors from the palace have come here, and every one of them said this, saying that this poison is very... from now on. My face is damaged." Shao Jie'er said with anger and hatred. She now wished that Shao Caihuan had died in the palace.
A dead person will not take away his marriage.
"Did the second uncle and the third uncle say something else?" Shao Wanru said. She had no sympathy for Shao Caihuan. If she hadn't been more alert at that time, she would have been poisoned.
Although Shao Caihuan was not the direct perpetrator, she clearly knew something, but she pretended not to know anything and secretly set a trap for herself. The current situation was her own fault and she could not blame others.
The poison was so poisonous that it made it impossible for Shao Caihuan to recover. He even wanted to take away Shao Jie'er's marriage. This shows that his face was not ruined at all.
Since returning to the house, I have been busy here and have not seen Shao Caihuan, and I don't know what happened to her face.
"I couldn't hear the rest clearly, and there seemed to be something else said. I felt that my father disagreed at first, but then the two of them spoke very softly, and I didn't dare to get too close. I only heard something about more than ten years ago... …Eldest Brother…Princess Princess…whatever, I wanted to go over again, but I saw two of my father’s guards turning around and ran away in a hurry.”
Shao Jie'er said.
Shao Wanru's heart skipped a beat. She was now particularly concerned about what happened more than ten years ago. Her mind turned around and wondered whether it was her father's matter. Not only her second uncle but also her third uncle had a hand in it.
In other words, the second uncle directly intervened, and the third uncle was an insider. Just like what happened in the palace that day, Shao Yanru should have directly intervened. Shao Caihuan was an insider, and he also took advantage of the situation at the appropriate time. Got a handful? Anger burst out in his heart, and he rubbed the handkerchief tightly. He could hardly control himself and wanted to ask these people how their hearts could be so dark!
So the flesh-and-blood affection was what they calculated. This time, they used what they knew to blackmail the other in exchange for their daughter's marriage, but he was a loving and righteous father, but he had no brotherhood at all.
He bit the corner of his lip hard, his eyes almost burning with flames, he wanted to burn down the entire Xingguo Duke's Mansion. This was really the filthiest place he had ever seen.
"Miss, miss!" Yu Jie was startled when she saw Shao Wanru's cruel and bloodthirsty eyes, and called hurriedly.
Shao Jie'er was also startled, took a step back and looked at Shao Wanru blankly. At this time, Shao Wanru looked full of evil aura, as if he was eating people.
"Fifth...fifth sister..." Shao Jie'er was too frightened to cry.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the bloody air in his heart, the blood in Shao Wanru's eyes faded and became clear again: "Second sister, do you know that your marriage is not a good one?"
Chu Qing had been silent for so long, so he probably didn't want to let Shao Jie'er into the palace, and it was impossible for Shao Jie'er to become the royal princess.
"I know, I know...but that's my marriage..." Shao Jie'er cried loudly. She had been thinking a lot these days, and she didn't dare to think about the position of a principal concubine, but at least she was a side concubine. With his status as the Duke of Xingguo, the Prince of Qing County would not be able to tolerate him.
Especially when she thought that this marriage was going to be lost soon, she felt more and more that it was a good marriage. If she lost this marriage now, Mrs. Xingguo Gong would be imprisoned in Yuhui Nunnery again, and the wife would not treat her well. If you are concerned, who else would make the decision for yourself and seek a good marriage.
No matter how bad Prince Qing is, he is still a son of the royal family. He has the blood of the royal family in his body. If he marries him, he will have a chance.
But now this opportunity was taken away by Shao Caihuan, how could she not hate it.
"Second sister is also willing to be the side room?" Shao Wanru looked at her and knew that she understood what he meant, so he asked directly without covering up.
"I am willing to be the concubine of Prince Qing!" Shao Jie'er cried aggrievedly again.
"Have the second uncle told the second sister?" Shao Wanru asked again, and it didn't sound like she had already said it.
"I never said it, I just heard it not long ago!" Shao Jie'er shook her head vigorously.
"When did you hear it?"
"That's what I heard yesterday. Fifth sister, go and tell your father. Just say that it will be good for you to marry me to the Prince of Qing County. If you say so, my father will definitely listen to you." Shao Jie'er Liushenwuzhu The words were even more incoherent.
She didn't want to be with the Tai Madam, and naturally the Third Madam wouldn't talk about it. She spent the night calculating with her aunt, and only Shao Wanru fit the bill. Now Shao Wanru's marriage is causing concern for the entire Xingguo. The prince has a long face, and one sentence she says now will definitely be worth ten words spoken by others.
Before the matter was officially settled, Shao Jieer had to make her father change his mind! This was also the reason why she came to the road specifically to block Shao Wanru today.
"Fifth sister, please save me, and I will definitely do everything you can to repay Fifth Sister!" Shao Jie'er was willing to say anything at this time, and only hoped that she could stop this matter.
"I heard that the second sister is going to accompany me to meet the second aunt?" Shao Wanru's words suddenly changed, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he said calmly.
"There is such a thing. It was the intention of the Madam to ask me to accompany you to Yuhui Nunnery to find Madam and ask for the dowry left by Princess Qinghua."
Shao Jie'er nodded. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel jealous. She, a young lady who had been raised in the Duke's Mansion for more than ten years, was not as good as the young lady who lived outside. It was obvious that she was raised with the courtesy of the Duke's Mansion. The young lady is also the most polite. Why doesn't such a good thing happen to her?
If there is a will from the Queen Mother, it doesn't matter if she is a concubine!
Although King Chen is a little weak because of his illness, he is such a fairy-like figure, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the pride of heaven. It would be great if he was interested in me!
"What does Mrs. Tai mean? When did it happen?" Shao Wanru asked again.
"Just now, before you went over, I heard Mrs. Tai ask someone to call you over, so I waited here. I saw someone leading you before, and there was a big brother beside me, so I didn't come out to stop you. I stayed here. Waiting for you to come back here!" Shao Jie'er explained that she still wanted to ask Shao Wanru, so she naturally told the truth.
"Besides these, has the Mrs. Tai told you anything else?" Shao Wanru thought for a while and asked. If that's all, it seems that she shouldn't summon Shao Jie'er specifically. In the past, when Shao Jie'er was used, whether it was Mrs. Xingguo or the Mrs. Neither Madam nor Shao Yanru went out of her way to summon Shao Jie'er to tell her the reason.
Then why is Madam so solemn today?
Shao Jie'er blinked when she was asked, and couldn't remember anything for a moment. After a long while, she hesitated and said: "Does it count if someone escorts us there?"
