Chapter 994 A Complicated and Dangerous Relationship

Looking at the appearance of the eldest princess Ruian, how could Mrs. Hou come? Aunt Yu smiled dryly and said with a smile: "Mrs. Hou is also ill. There was too much moisture in Yuhui Nunnery before, which hurt her joints and made it difficult to move."

"There's a lot of humidity in Yuhui Nunnery? Princess Chen has been in Yuhui Nunnery for three years, so her injuries are more serious? I didn't see her say anything about hurting her joints. It seems that Mrs. Hou is really delicate. She was raised by thousands of beauties. ." Princess Ruian mocked, turned back to sit in front of the chair, and waved her hand.

"Don't say that you have something or not. The Ministry of Punishment will verify the matters of the Ministry of Punishment. I don't care what Madam Hou wants to do, but if it comes to Princess Chen, don't blame me for being rude." Ruian said. The princess narrowed her eyes and said coldly.

"I don't dare, I don't dare!" Nanny Yu didn't dare to say anything at this time, so she could only keep apologizing.

"Go down!" Princess Ruian waved her hand. She really disliked the people in the Xingguo Houfu more and more. From top to bottom, there was no one she liked, except her own grandson and granddaughter. They shouldn't be considered as such anyway. A person from the Xingguo Hou Mansion.

As if she had received an amnesty, Grandma Yu did not dare to say anything. She kowtowed three times to the eldest princess Ruian, stood up and walked out. She had to tell the wife that even talking about the title was useless, and even Will attract Princess Ruian.

If the eldest princess of Ruian comes to the house, it will definitely not be something easy to deal with. This matter must be reported to the dowager.

Shao Wanru came out of the inner room, bowed to the eldest princess Ruian, then sat next to the eldest princess Ruian, reached out to touch the tea cup on the table, and ordered: "Pour a new cup for grandma!"

The maid took the order and went down.

Seeing her granddaughter's considerate look, the eldest princess Ruian's face, which was still cold just now, blossomed into a smile, and she was full of love: "Zhuo Zhuo, you don't have to worry so much. Grandma is not someone else, so there is no need to be so polite."

"It's not polite, it's my filial piety. You can't let grandma drink cold drinks. It's not good for your health!" Shao Wanru's face tightened slightly and he said displeased.

Such a close attitude made Princess Ruian even more happy. It was best for her granddaughter to stay away from her. The past three years had also been the most satisfying time for her in more than ten years.

With a granddaughter and a grandson, what’s not to be satisfied with?

"Zhuozhuo, tell grandma, what do you think about wanting the title of Marquis of Xingguo? When I was still Duke of Xingguo, this title was better, but now I can't even defend it. What's the use of your grandmother and second uncle!" Princess Ruian said dissatisfied.

The eldest princess felt that this title belonged to her grandson, but it was just usurped by her second wife.

Shao Wanru smiled and shook the sleeves of the eldest princess, with the coquettishness of a little daughter, but also revealed a bit of cunning: "Grandma, how is Hao'er studying?"

"Haoer is smart and studies very well. My husband has repeatedly said before that Haoer, who is a few years older than him, studies better and is smart. Although he entered school a little later, it did not hinder him. As for his growth, if he studies hard from now on, he will have a bright future."

As soon as she talked about her grandson, the eldest princess Ruian beamed. She no longer had the tough aura in front of others, she just wanted to talk about her grandson.

A little grandson praised him into a flower.

"Grandma, do you think Hao'er can take the imperial examination?" Shao Wanru asked with a sweet smile.

Even though she and Hao'er have no other biological ties, at least they still have the eldest princess. With the eldest princess and Hao'er, her blood relationship will not be missing. In this life, she will protect them and never let them go. Just like in their previous life, they fell into a miserable and helpless state.

She had never cared about those people in the Xingguo Hou Mansion. What they owed would eventually have to be repaid.

The smile on Princess Ruian's face disappeared, her brows furrowed, and she asked doubtfully: "Zhuo Zhuo means to ask Hao'er to take the scientific examination? This... is too tiring!"

The eldest princess really couldn't bear to have her smart little grandson live such a tired life.

"Does grandma want the title of Xingguo Marquis Mansion? What if this title is gone in the future?" Shao Wanru asked softly.

"How could it be possible? How could such a title be lost?" The eldest princess was shocked, and her inner meaning was very clear from these words, "You can't take advantage of those people!"

She wants to get this title for her little grandson, and of course she is not willing to give it up. She has been fighting with the dowager for her whole life, almost half of the time, she has been fighting for this title. It is even more impossible to rest assured at this time. Why should she give it to those people? It belonged to my son-in-law. Now that my son-in-law is gone, of course it is left to my grandson.

When it comes to Ren, his little grandson is the most qualified.

"Grandma..." Shao Wanru paused here and looked around the eldest princess. The eldest princess understood, waved her hand, and everyone retreated. Even Aunt Gao also followed the others and retreated outside. She and Yujie stood outside the door and guarded there.

Grandfather and grandson have important private conversations. Although they are confidants, some of their words are inappropriate to listen to.

After everyone left, Shao Wanru lowered her voice and said, "Grandma, do you think the things in our house are similar to...?"

She did not say those two words, but stretched out her hand and gently wrote the word "Emperor" in the palm of the eldest princess.

He stared at the eldest princess closely with an extremely cautious expression.

The eldest princess Ruian felt the touch in her hand. She was slightly stunned at first, and then after she understood the feeling, her face immediately changed. She held Shao Wanru's hand tightly, not allowing her to move more, as if this was the only way to stop her. It seems that this topic is taboo, and no one knows what the emperor means.

"Grandma, don't worry, just the two of us will talk, no one will hear us!" Shao Wanru leaned next to the eldest princess Ruian and whispered.

The two people spoke so quietly that even people close to the room might not be able to hear them.

Seeing that her granddaughter was not just trying to be brave and spoke so cautiously, even her confidants were sent away. The eldest princess nodded secretly in her heart. Her granddaughter is really sensible. The less people hear about this kind of thing, the better, otherwise it will be harmful to her. You are not good to others.

Are the affairs of the Xingguo Hou Mansion the same as the emperor's affairs? The eldest princess Ruian never thought about it. She had never thought of it like this in the past, and even subconsciously avoided the idea. But now she thought about it seriously. The more she thought about it, the more panicked she felt. She held Shao Wanru's hand and risked it. Go out into battle

Cold sweat, palms became sticky.

The title of Duke Xingguo originally belonged to the first eldest brother, but now it belongs to the second eldest brother. After his son-in-law died, he did not pass it on to Hao'er because when the news of his son-in-law's death came, Hao'er was still in his daughter's belly and had not given birth. After coming down, the position of the eldest son naturally fell to the second roommate Shao Jing.

Later, when the old Duke Xingguo died, it was naturally passed on to Shao Jing. Nothing happened to Hao'er. Now if Hao'er wants to take back the position of heir apparent from Shao Jing's hands, it is equivalent to asking Hao'er to take over the inheritance from his uncle. This kind of thing is very similar to Chu Liuchen.

When the late emperor died, Chu Liuchen was born not long ago, and the throne was passed to the current emperor. Now the crown prince's position has not yet been taken, and several princes are competing for the crown prince's position. Counting Chu Liuchen, there are three. The prince is also qualified, but he is the heir of the late emperor, and no one can deny it. He was sick before, and others would not say anything. Everyone thought that he would not live long.

But now that his health is getting better, it is inevitable that he will fall into the controversy of seizing the direct descendant. If someone uses Chu Liuchen to seize his uncle's inheritance, it will be troublesome.

Originally, the affairs of Xingguohou Mansion had nothing to do with Chu Liuchen, but now that Chu Liuchen married Shao Wanru, there is a relationship between the two houses. If Shao Yuanhao seizes the title of the eldest son of Xingguohou, will anyone take this matter to task? Defaming Chu Liuchen and saying that Chu Liuchen did it intentionally was to show that he had the intention to seize the throne and be disobedient, which is not a trivial matter.

By then, not only will Chu Liuchen be in trouble, but Shao Yuanhao may also be implicated. In the battle for the throne, he, a small person, will be involved, so what if he is the grandson of the eldest princess!

Thinking about this, how could Princess Ruian feel at ease? She just felt like she was breaking out in a cold sweat. She had never thought about this before.

"Zhuozhuo, what should we do?" The eldest princess Ruian was born in the royal family. She is most aware of the dangers of seizing a legitimate son. A little carelessness may lead to catastrophe. She is more concerned about the safety of her grandson than the inheritance of the title. .

"Grandma, don't panic. I'm just avoiding the edge temporarily. I don't want you to give up just like that. What you did before and how you still do it now, don't make people suspicious. This is the best!" Shao Wanrula! He took the eldest princess's hand, took the handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from her palm, and said softly.

Her expression and behavior made the eldest princess calm down. She looked at the top of her granddaughter's black hair and sighed softly, "As people get older, they have more scruples and become less courageous!"

When she had no scruples at first, the eldest princess had a reputation in the capital as being cold and arrogant, and would dare to step on anyone's face. Now that she has weak points, she certainly can't do whatever she wants.

But she likes this kind of weakness, and is willing to give up something for it.

"Thank you, grandma!" Shao Wanru wiped away the sweat stains on the eldest princess's palms and leaned her face against her. Her watery eyes were filled with gratitude. She could sense her grandmother's concern and worry.

The granddaughter was so considerate and gentle that the eldest princess felt her heart melt. She held her in her arms, patted her soft body gently, and whispered in her ear: "Zhuo Zhuo, you Tell grandma, do you want to..."

She didn't finish her words, she just pointed upward with one finger.

He is already a prince, and there is only that position for him if he goes up higher.
