Chapter 817 The Lady From Zhao Shangshu’s House
The carriage moved slowly. Shao Wanru opened his eyes again and suddenly saw the courtyard door from before opening. A navy blue man appeared at the door. A woman escorted him out. As the carriage passed by, Shao Wanru's eyes suddenly widened. Da, almost looked at the woman in the courtyard in disbelief.
That woman, that woman, wasn't she the one who jumped off the tall building?
That day, the woman was about to jump off the building and stated the man's crime on the high pavilion. Shao Wanru happened to come out that day and saw the woman on the high building. She even saw the woman jumping down with absolute certainty. , in addition to feeling sorry for herself, she also felt sorry for that fierce woman.
But why, why is this woman here at this time? Didn’t he say that he entered Beijing after passing the imperial examination? Spring has not yet begun, so why is she here? Moreover, the clothes she wears do not look like those of an ordinary girl, but she looks like a maid.
Shao Wanru's eyes were almost panicked as he stared at the carriage passing by. In the end, he couldn't see it. He clenched the gauze tightly in his hands and could hardly help stopping the carriage. He wanted to see clearly what he had seen before. What was it? Meaning, why is it different from what I imagined.
Didn't he say that Mr. Yan abandoned his wife and son? What was everything in front of him? Did he see it wrong?
My heart trembled inexplicably, my hands and feet were cold, and I could no longer see the two people in front of me. I leaned back and took a deep breath. My heart and lungs seemed to be burning fiercely, and there was an indescribable feeling of depression. Crash inside.
"Fifth sister, what's wrong with you?" Her actions had alarmed Shao Jie'er, and she looked at Shao Wanru and asked displeasedly.
She was just thinking about something good when she was woken up by Shao Wanru, and she was in a very bad mood.
"It's nothing, I'm a little uncomfortable!" Shao Wanru covered his chest and frowned.
"If you don't feel well, you should have said it earlier. We've already gone out at this time. What can you do if you say you don't feel well?" Shao Jie'er said coldly, closing her eyes again, and thinking about what it would be like if she married Prince Cheng in the future. In one scenario, if she was lucky, she might become a queen. That was what Shao Yanru had been pursuing, but she didn't expect that this opportunity would fall on her.
When the time comes, the entire Xingguo Duke's Palace is clinging to his side, and who dares to look down on him? Neither Shao Yanru nor Shao Wanru can compare to him.
So what about the legitimate daughter? As a concubine, I can suppress all of them in the future...
Shao Wanru slowly calmed down, and his watery eyes turned twice, falling on Shao Jie'er. He saw her smiling happily, knowing that she was having a sweet dream at this moment, so he didn't break her sweet dream, and he still leaned against her Outside the window, I thought about the scene just now.
The scene she just saw had a huge impact on her. It impacted some things she knew in her previous life. This kind of understanding was completely different from her previous life. There was something else she didn't understand. There was more than just... Regarding his own affairs, the young master named Yan may also be a victim of suffering.
Jiang's distant nephew? She also heard this from Di. She actually didn’t know whether it was true or not!
Since the so-called abandonment of his wife and son may be fake, then the identity of the so-called distant nephew may also be fake. I don’t know how this person named Yan Xi got into trouble with the Xingguo Duke’s Mansion, or the Yong-Kangbo Mansion. When they dealt with themselves, they also dealt with him.
Is there anything you don't know about this? Is it because of political reasons or other reasons? I heard that he was an ordinary scholar. Why did he deal with him like this? Was he setting up this situation because he was more generous or because he was more generous.
Shao Wanru only remembered that in the end, when the woman jumped like this, he didn't end up well, and neither did Yan Xi.
Abandoning his wife and son, the woman now is just dressed as a maid, so where can he get a son?
The smile is cold!
"Fifth sister, what are you laughing at?" Shao Jie'er's voice came to his ears. Shao Wanru turned his head to look at Shao Jie'er and saw her looking at him in surprise, knowing that he had aroused her suspicion.
"What's the matter with me? I just feel strange why we prefer the female relatives of the Minister of Labor. Originally, we didn't have to bother with anyone when we went to Yuhui Nunnery." Shao Wanru said calmly.
Shao Jie'er raised her eyebrows, "I'm afraid you don't know, but the person my eldest brother was discussing before was Zhao Xiran, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Industry's family!"
"Discussing marriage?" Shao Wanru looked at her and asked.
"Of course it's a marriage discussion, and it's almost done. If my mother hadn't gone to Yuhui Nunnery to take care of her health, the two families would have started moving around now."
Shao Jie'er smiled. From one point of view, it seemed that no one in the Zhao family would like to see Shao Wanru.
Shao Wanru was silent for a moment and understood the implication of Shao Jie'er's words. The person Shao Huaan was going to marry was actually the eldest daughter of the Minister of Industry and Industry. I wonder if she was there this time.
"Both families have already acquiesced before. I didn't expect that my mother would get into trouble one after another. Fifth sister, if she sees Miss Zhao later, fifth sister needs to be careful in dealing with it, so as not to offend Miss Zhao and make her grandmother unhappy. , Grandma has been preparing for my eldest brother’s marriage recently. Mother is not in good health now, so Grandma can only come!”
Shao Jie'er said this with a sense of joy in others' misfortune, as if she was looking at Shao Wan as if she was unlucky.
Shao Wanru was not surprised by Shao Jie'er's behavior of adding insult to injury. In essence, Shao Jie'er and Qi Rongghi were somewhat similar.
"What kind of person is Miss Zhao?" Shao Wanru asked nonchalantly.
"Miss Zhao Xiran is the eldest daughter of the Minister of Industry. She is a very good person. When she came to the house in the past, she used to play with her sisters. She is a kind person, and the eldest brother is also a kind person. The two of them are very suitable, but Zhao Da The young lady must be Miss Shangshu, please don’t offend others for a while.”
Shao Jie'er's words sounded like she was trying to remind Shao Wanru, but in fact they were quite meant to watch a show.
"Did Miss Zhao and the eldest brother know each other early?" Shao Wanru seemed not to hear the other meaning of Shao Jie'er's words, and still asked calmly.
She didn't know anything about Miss Zhao Xiran before, so she would ask more when Shao Jie'er was willing to talk. She had a feeling that she would deal with Miss Zhao after entering Yuhui Nunnery.
In the carriage of Shangshu Mansion in front, there should be Miss Zhao who can make Shao Jieer praise her. Miss Zhao seems to be a good person, like Shao Huaan?
She is not afraid of this Miss Shangshu. Now she and Chu Liuchen have settled their names. No matter who sees her, they will not be unintelligent and deliberately make things difficult. Especially this Miss Zhao sounds very special. The kind of person who knows how to behave, and will not go out of his way to make things difficult for himself.
"My eldest brother has known Miss Zhao for a long time. I heard that it was his eldest brother who took the initiative to find my mother and asked my mother to give in to marry her. This was very pleasing to my eldest brother." Shao Jie'er said proudly.
They were all young ladies from the Xingguo Duke's Mansion. Shao Wanru didn't know about it, but he knew about it. In this regard, he was much better than Shao Wanru.
"Have we known each other for a long time?" Shao Wanru's heart moved.
"Of course we have known each other for a long time. I heard from mother that my eldest brother likes Miss Zhao very much. We are not allowed to offend Miss Zhao. When she comes to play in the house, she even asks us to accompany her." Shao Jie'er said proudly Telling what I know makes me feel proud.
"Miss Zhao, have you ever been to the house?" Shao Wanru asked with a smile, his eyes flashing.
"Of course I have been here, more than once. In fact, the first time this matter was mentioned was three years ago, but my eldest brother's yard was burned down at that time. My mother was so angry that she didn't mention it for the time being. This worry has been carried for three years. , Now that the eldest brother is getting older, he can’t wait any longer, so the two families secretly start to move around more!"
Shao Jie'er glanced sideways at Shao Wanru, "Speaking of which, you were there when the yard was burned down. Madam put a lot of thought into that."
Shao Jie'er felt a little distressed when she thought of this. She had seen the objects in the yard, and she was envious and jealous at the same time. She didn't expect that the yard would burn down in the end.
She still feels distressed when she thinks about it now, but of course she doesn't care much about Shao Wanru who was almost burned to death at that time.
She left a long time ago. The wedding room at that time was burned down. The current wedding room is occupied by herself. This time she went to the mountain to ask for her mother’s dowry from Jiang. Jiang had used a lot. If it was not enough, let her She used her own things to supplement her expenses, and her own things were originally meant to be left to her son.
After thinking about it like this, Shao Wanru found that he and Miss Zhao didn't seem to get along well!
The carriage stopped in front of Yuhui Temple. The two maids came out of the carriage at the back early and waited in front of the carriage.
Shao Jie'er got off the carriage first and said affectionately to a woman who got off the other large carriage: "Miss Zhao, you are here as expected, great!!"
"Second Miss!" Zhao Xiran, who had just got off the carriage, smiled slightly and responded in a very affectionate manner. His eyes fell on Shao Wanru, who had just stepped out of the carriage.
This was the first time she saw the fifth young lady of Xingguo Duke's mansion.
She had heard about this Fifth Miss. When she went to Xingguo Duke's Mansion before, although the few accompanying ladies didn't say anything bad, they basically didn't like Miss Shao very much. However, the rumors outside were that various There are differences, but the fact that her maternal grandmother is the eldest princess of Ruian is something that no one can ignore!
People who see her now have a look of amazement in their eyes.
There are the most beauties in the capital, each with their own merits. Among them, Shao Yanru is the most outstanding. What Zhao Xiran did not expect was that Miss Shao Wu was so beautiful. Her long and curled eyelashes fluttered twice, and her eyes were filled with a bit of aura. Her watery eyes seemed to be able to speak, making people's hearts flutter with just one glance.
The pink little face has a little cherry lip, which is eye-catchingly red, making the original purity reveal a deep-seated beauty, but it is not the kind of deliberate charm. The deep-seated beauty matches her pure purity, and all of a sudden Eye-catching, Zhao Xiran suddenly understood why His Highness King Chen, who had always been unwilling to marry a wife, agreed to marry a wife!
