Chapter 580 Report to Ministry of Justice or Capital Officials
Under the veil, there was a slight sneer on the corner of Shao Wanru’s mouth. This Prince Qing had appeared!
This should also have been expected by Shao Yanru!
Sure enough, compared with Qin Yuru, Shao Yanru was the most insidious and venomous snake. Unfortunately, Shao Yanru still didn’t know her own character. She took it for granted!
Not only did Chu Qing appear on the path, but there were also others. There were not many people, only five or six of them. It seemed that some brothers and sisters from a certain family had come together to enjoy the scenery. Chu Qing walked in front of a group of people. Their voices were not low, which went far away in the quiet forest, so it was easy to hear what they were talking about.
“Miss, it’s very kind of you!” Chu Qing came over and smiled at Shao Wanru. He bowed politely and looked at Shao Wanru’s beautiful eyes, which were exposed outside the veil.
Even though her eyes were filled with anger and coldness, they were still shockingly beautiful. Just one glance was enough to make one’s heart flutter. However, no matter how beautiful she was, she was just a beauty to Chu Qing.
Although it was hard to find an extremely beautiful woman in this world, it was not impossible to find one. And it was not so difficult to find one!
If he could have power in the world, he could get all kinds of beauties. So what if Shao Yanru was the most beautiful woman in the capital city? In his eyes, beauties were nothing. What’s more, Shao Yanru was the kind of charming one. Although she could make men fall in love with her, he admired elegant and generous beauties more.
Chu Qing felt that although Fifth Miss Shao’s eyes were less charming than First Miss Shao’s, they were clearer. She was the type he liked.
Even if all the men in the world thought that this woman in front of him was beautiful, he would not.
“What’s the matter, childe?” Yujie took two steps forward and looked at Chu Qing coldly with alert.
“Since the thing about the two old maids was an accident and Miss didn’t get hurt, let’s forget about it. It seems that they have gotten their retribution. Their legs must have been injured!” Chu Qing said in a gentle and elegant way. Seeing the two old maids kneeling unnaturally and dragging their legs, he thought that the two old maids fell and hurt.
His words were extremely gentle and he seemed to be trying to calm things down. The people behind him who had come to watch the scene nodded their heads and agreed with him.
In the current situation, it seemed that the two old maids were in a bad situation. Not only were they in a bad state, but they also looked pitiful. Compared with Shao Wanru, who was not hurt at all, the situation of these two old maids was really sympathetic.
Shao Wanru pulled Yujie, who still wanted to defend herself, and looked up at Chu Qing and said in a cold voice, “Does this childe mean that if I am hurt by them on my face, it could be seen as something?”
In her last life, she had never dealt with this Prince Qing, so she did not know what kind of person he was. But at this moment, she clearly realized that the ambition of this Prince Qing had been taken advantage of by Shao Yanru.
Chu Qing, who had just become Prince Qing and had just returned to his ancestral roots, urgently needed a good reputation now. Now that there was such a good opportunity, he certainly would not let it go.
It seemed that he was determined to care about this matter!
Shao Wanru’s words were extremely sharp, and Chu Qing’s handsome face showed some embarra.s.sment. However, looking at the miserable appearance of the two old maids, he couldn’t bear to say, “Since these two old maids are now like this, Miss should let them go. This is a quiet place of Buddhism, and Buddhism is most concerned about charity. It seems that you are also a kind person, so you won’t be too aggressive!”
“Even if people of the quiet Buddhist sect kill people, should they be forgiven? Put down their killing knives and become a Buddha immediately. Who cares if he killed tens of millions of people before? Then why did the Ministry of Justice come to the Yuhui Nunnery before? Since killing people in front of the Buddhist sect is not a big deal and killers should be forgiven, why does the Ministry of Justice have to come?” Shao Wanru’s eyes became colder and colder. She directly combined with the Ministry of Justice coming to the Yuhui Nunnery to investigate that case!
And these things were also vaguely related to Chu Qing.
“This… It’s different. Miss has not been hurt!” Chu Qing was annoyed, but he couldn’t show it on his face. He smiled slightly and looked calmer.
Shao Wanru looked at Chu Qing with a faint smile and asked, “If one day you were a.s.sa.s.sinated, but you were not stabbed to death, would you forgive them and let the a.s.sa.s.sins go back?”
If she asked someone else this question, they would not think much of it. Which a.s.sa.s.sin would come to a.s.sa.s.sinate an ordinary person for no reason? But Chu Qing was not. Since he was ambitious, his next path was destined to be unusual. Or it could be said that since he came out of the Yuhui Nunnery and came to the crowd, he was destined not to be an ordinary person.
He would definitely be a.s.sa.s.sinated. If he said that he would not pursue this matter now, and such a thing really happened in the future, it would be troublesome for him if his opponent dealt with him with what he said today.
Just as Shao Yanru was sure that Chu Qing would help these old maids when he saw what he believed was injustice. Shao Wanru was also sure that Chu Qing didn’t dare to say yes.
Sure enough, Chu Qing coughed in a low voice. When he was about to bypa.s.s this to explain from another perspective, he heard Shao Wanru say this again.
“Childe, do you also think that this kind of thing can’t be forgiven? When you encounter something, of course, it is different from what others encounter. Please don’t put what you don’t like on others. Please don’t use these two standards on yourself and others,” Shao Wanru said coldly and impolitely.
Chu Qing’s face turned red with embarra.s.sment and anger. He didn’t expect that the First Miss Shao in front of him was so sharp-tongued. He couldn’t help snorting in his heart. It was said that her reputation was excellent. Just from what she said, he knew that she was not a good person. Sure enough, rumors couldn’t be trusted.
“Let’s go back and find the people from the Ministry of Justice to bring them back!” Shao Wanru turned to Yujie and said. It seemed that she was going to leave. The two old maids were injured. Even if they wanted to escape, they could not escape in a short time. Moreover, in the maple forest, they must return later because there was no way down the mountain.
The way up the mountain and down the mountain was the same one. The only one was the one in front of the Yuhui Nunnery. Otherwise, Mo Qiuyi would not have begged Great Elder Princess to take her “man from the same hometown” down the mountain.
“What… What’s going on?” Shao Yanru, who had been hiding behind the tree for a long time, couldn’t hide anymore. Of course, the two old maids couldn’t drag her, but it was not good for her if Shuqi was involved.
She was not yet in a situation where she had to change her servant girl.
Seeing Shao Yanru behind the tree, Chu Qing inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn’t help showing a smile on his face. He bowed deeply to Shao Yanru, who was walking over gracefully, and said, “Miss Shao!”
The other few onlookers looked at Shao Yanru, who was walking over, and then looked at Shao Wanru, who was almost dressed the same. They were all silent. No matter how they looked at them, they seemed to have something to do with each other.
They dressed almost exactly the same. If the white jade hairpin of the lady in front had not fallen to the ground, they would have looked exactly the same. Some people looked at the ground and found that the white jade hairpin on the ground had been broken into two pieces. However, neither the master nor the servant girl seemed not to have found. The master had even stepped on the jade hairpin.
In the current situation, naturally, no one would go to remind Shao Wanru of such a small matter!
The jade hairpin was broken. Fortunately, her hair was tied in a tight bun, so her beautiful hair did not fall.
Shao Yanru smiled at Chu Qing and bowed on one side. Compared with Shao Wanru, who stood there with some arrogance, Shao Yanru’s words and deeds were gentle and dignified, which made people like her very much.
“Sister, what’s wrong?” After bowing, Shao Yanru turned to the two old maids kneeling on the ground, frowned. She looked at Shao Wanru, and asked softly.
“First Miss, these two old maids deliberately wanted to ruin our Miss’s appearance and hit her with stir-fried sand. If our Miss and I didn’t dodge fast, our faces had been ruined. However, these two old maids deliberately said that there was a dispute between them. They quarreled with each other and accidentally hit our Miss. Look at their positions. How could they hit our Miss’s face? They did it on purpose!”
Yujie shouted righteously and reached out to point at the place where the two old maids were kneeling. The two old maids were kneeling in a row now. It did not seem that they were quarreling and could hit Shao Wanru by accident.
The onlookers were also confused and felt that these words were really reasonable. Could it be that the two old maids really had some ulterior motives? Looking at Shao Wanru’s beautiful watery eyes, although she wore a veil, they were all attracted. Was someone jealous of her face and did it on purpose?
If this was true, it must be an acquaintance. In this place, Shao Yanru seemed to be the only one Shao Wanru knew!
Shao Yanru was sensitive and noticed that everyone’s eyes were on her. She couldn’t help but feel hatred in her heart. She didn’t expect that Shao Wanru’s servant girl was so eloquent that her words made everyone pay attention to her. However, she didn’t point it out. She couldn’t defend herself even if she wanted to!
“Fifth Sister, since there is such a thing, you can send them to Capital Officials. This kind of thing is dealt with by Capital Officials. There will be murder cases for the Ministry of Justice to deal with,” Shao Yanru said softly. Her words sounded quite fair.
The two old maids looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at Shao Yanru gratefully and thought that this First Miss was really kind. Previously, Shuqi repeatedly said that if something really happened to them, she would definitely ask her Miss to save them.
“The people of the Ministry of Justice are right in front of us. Why do you invite the people from Capital Officials? Is it the most convenient for you to come back after you go to the foot of the mountain to invite people?” Shao Wanru asked in confusion.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll send someone down the mountain. It’s not troublesome!” Shao Yanru said softly, as if Shao Wanru had just said that because she was afraid of trouble, she went directly to the Ministry of Justice, which was not reasonable.
After all, this kind of thing was not a big deal. No one was killed or hurt. It was just out of suspicion.
“Big Sister, I’m not afraid of trouble. I just think it’s better to ask the Ministry of Justice to investigate this kind of thing. If something happens to us on the mountain, the Ministry of Justice will have to investigate it even if we don’t investigate it. If Big Sister feels that this matter cannot be solved, you can ask the people of the Ministry of Justice to inquire about it first. See if it should be reported to them or to the Capital Officials. It’s up to the Minister of Justice of the Ministry. Is that okay?”
Shao Wanru said calmly. With Qiu Yu around, everything related to Shao Yanru was a big deal. This matter had to be left in the Ministry of Justice. Of course, with Qiu Yu around, this matter would be solved easily.
Shao Yanru couldn’t keep a distance from Qiu Yu anymore!
