Chapter 957 Qin Yuru, You Have a Visitor
In the prison, Qin Yuru trembled in fear. She never thought that she would end up in the Ministry of Justice and be sentenced to decapitation!
How could they do that to her? She was related to the royal family. How could they sentence her to decapitation? Someone must have made a mistake!
Now her status was equal to a Princess, right? She was more distinguished than Shao Wanru had ever been in the past. Why would she end up in prison?
“Qin Yuru, you have a visitor!” the female prison guard said coldly.
“Who? Who is it?” Qin Yuru rushed to the door and said anxiously. She was overjoyed. It must be her grandfather and father that had come to save her!
“Who else could I be? Qin Yuru, take a look and see who I am!” A woman came in, lifted the cloak on her head, and looked viciously at Qin Yuru who was in front of her.
Qin Yuru looked skinny and lost all her former beauty, and the woman was pleased to see that.
“Who, who are you?” Qin Yuru didn’t recognize the woman at first and took a step back.
“Who am I? Don’t you recognize me?” Ning Caixian looked at the prison and sneered. “Back then, you got me into the prison, and now you also end up in prison. Indeed, it is karma. Qin Yuru, you used to ingratiate yourself with Di Yan, but have you ever thought that you would end up like this today?”
“You... you are... Ning... Ning Caixian?” Qin Yuru screamed in horror. She recognized her and abruptly fell to the ground, and then moved backward.
Under the dim yellow light of the cell, Ning Caixian looked unsteady, with some darkness on her face.
“Don’t come over... Your death has nothing to do with me. I didn’t intend to kill you. Back off, back off!” Qin Yuru screamed. She shook her hands in horror and closed her eyes.
“Ning Caixian is dead. Ning Caixian is dead. Why is she here?” Qin Yuru was confused.
In the past three years, although Ning Caixian was dead, Qin Yuru and Di Yan had mentioned her name Ning Caixian every time they quarreled.
For Di Yan, Ning Caixian was the apple in the eye. What he could not get was always the best, but Qin Yuru killed her.
For Qin Yuru, Ning Caixian was like a stain on her face. Even if she washed it clean, she felt that it had been there all the time!
How could Qin Yuru not be afraid, when a person who had been dead for three years suddenly appeared in this dim yellow cell! Ning Caixian might have died in the cell at that time!
“Qin Yuru, are you afraid?” Ning Caixian looked at Qin Yuru coldly and asked in a cold voice.
“Don’t, don’t come over. It wasn’t me; it wasn’t me who killed you... It was Di Yan; it was Di Yan... It has nothing to do with me, you should look for Di Yan...” Qin Yuru shook her hands quickly and spoke with a lousy choice of words. She just wanted Ning Caixian to leave.
“If it wasn’t you, then who was it? Qin Yuru, you have not died yet, how could I die? I must see you beheaded!” Ning Caixian raised the corners of her mouth mockingly.
“You... you are not dead...” Qin Yuru slowly opened her eyes.
“Of course I am not dead. Qin Yuru, you are in great trouble now. You are going to be beheaded soon. I am really happy to see it!” Ning Caixian raised the corners of her mouth and looked down at Qin Yuru. “Have you ever thought about everything that happens now? At that time, you married into Duke Yong’s Mansion complacently. But now what?”
“I, I am related to the royal family... You, you, back off!” Knowing Ning Caixian was not dead, Qin Yuru was not scared anymore. She glared at Ning Caixian and defended herself.
“Related to the royal family? Are you talking about Grand Prince’s Mansion? I heard the Grand Prince’s Mansion said that they wouldn’t want a vicious granddaughter. So what if you’re his flesh and blood? There are a lot of granddaughters in Grand Prince’s Mansion. Your father has so many children; some were born inside the manor, and others were born outside the manor. There are more than a dozen Misses in the manor. You are an obstacle to their marriage!” Ning Caixian ridiculed mercilessly.
She gloated over the abject misery of Qin Yuru. She stepped into the cell, went to Qin Yuru’s side, and looked at Qin Yuru, who was sitting on the ground and lost her dignity. She lifted her foot and stamped hard on Qin Yuru’s hand.
“Ah!” Qin Yuru screamed in pain and pushed Ning Caixian’s foot hard.
Ning Caixian staggered and took a step back. “Qin Yuru, how dare you hit me!”
After saying that, she kicked squarely at Qin Yuru’s chin, and her lips immediately bled.
Qin Yuru got hurt so badly that she pounced forward and pushed Ning Caixian to the ground. The two of them wrestled on the ground of the cell.
The female prison guard outside heard the noise inside and came in to pull the two apart. By that time, their hair was in a mess, and they even got scratches on their faces.
“b.i.t.c.h, you will die a terrible death!” Ning Caixian was so angry that she cursed loudly. She didn’t expect that she would lose to Qin Yuru in this situation.
Qin Yuru was raised in the General’s Mansion. When she was in Jiangzhou, there weren’t many rules for the Misses so she could go out from time to time. Although she wasn’t trained in martial arts, she was still stronger than Ning Caixian.
“b.i.t.c.h, so what if you are not dead now? Look at you now; have you already become a prost.i.tute?” Qin Yuru cursed unwillingly.
“You b.i.t.c.h! You are a prost.i.tute! I am going to be Childe w.a.n.g’s legal wife soon, but now you are going to be beheaded. Your reincarnation will suffer in your next life!” Ning Caixian covered the scar on her face with a handkerchief and cursed angrily.
“Childe w.a.n.g? Who is that stupid Childe w.a.n.g? Is he your customer? If so, it is really hard to say that he will marry you. How would someone marry a prost.i.tute as his legal wife!” Qin Yuru sneered. At this time, she also threw caution to the wind. She had been acting with extreme caution in the prison and had been in a bad mood for a long time.
Ning Caixian’s arrival helped let off steam.
At this time, she could scold her as much as she wanted!
“Qin Yuru, you b.i.t.c.h. You have such a bad mouth! I am going to marry w.a.n.g Shengxue, Childe w.a.n.g, the nephew of Marquis Xing. Don’t you know that?” Ning Caixian was ridiculed by Qin Yuru, which made her want to scratch Qin Yuru’s face again.
The female prison guard pulled Ning Caixian out of the cell with an unhappy face. Although she got some benefits, it might look bad if Ning Caixian shouted it out.
She also regretted that she had let a prost.i.tute in.
She was misled by Qin Yuru. When Ning Caixian came over, although she was well-dressed, she was not accompanied by any servant girl. It did seem that she was not a good girl from a decent family.
The cell quieted down. Qin Yuru covered her painful twitching face and thought about what Ning Caixian had just said. “w.a.n.g Shengxue? The nephew of Marquis Xing?”
She suddenly remembered something and looked at the prison door in astonishment. She actually knew that w.a.n.g Shengxue. “Isn’t he Ning Caixian’s brother-in-law?” Qin Yuru thought to herself.
She knew that from one of her quarrels with Di Yan. At that time, they were having a fight about Ning Caixian again. After Di Yan smashed several things and left, Qin Yuru also got angry, so she went shopping with her servant girl. When she pa.s.sed by Ning’s Mansion, she deliberately stayed a little longer and saw Ning Xueqing coming out with w.a.n.g Shengxue.
After asking someone to inquire about it, she knew about Ning Xueqing’s and w.a.n.g Shengxue’s ident.i.ties!
Ning Xueqing was w.a.n.g Shengxue’s concubine, and it was said that she became a concubine because of an accident. It was not clear what the accident was, but it surely had something to do with Marquis Xing’s Mansion.
Ning Xueqing and w.a.n.g Shengxue had been in a relations.h.i.+p for a long time. Originally, he intended to marry Ning Xueqing!
Later in their quarrel, Qin Yuru had used this matter to provoke Di Yan from time to time, saying that Di Yan liked this kind of s.l.u.tty woman. The Ning sisters were both the kind of woman who would have an affair with a man before getting married. No one knew how many men they had had an affair with!
“She stole her brother-in-law?” Qin Yuru thought it through, and then suddenly fell to the ground, laughing out loud.
Ning Xueqing probably had never thought that her biological sister would steal her husband and become his legal wife. If she was not in prison now, she would definitely make Di Yan see that clearly.
But now she was in prison.
As she laughed, her laughter turned into tears. She was related to the royal family. How did she end up like this? Did the Grand Prince’s Mansion abandon her?
She had a great talk with the Grand Prince that day and he had also recognized her. Why would it end up like this now?
“Qin Yuru, you have a visitor!” The female prison guard’s flattering voice suddenly came from the door. Then Shao Wanru appeared at the door of the prison with Yujie.
Compared with Ning Caixian just now, Shao Wanru looked n.o.ble at the first sight. “Princess Chen, please come in. This person has just fought with another woman. You’d better not go in; in case you get beaten by this crazy woman!” The female prison guard was particularly fawning on her, for fear of Princess Chen getting hurt.
Princess Chen was different from that prost.i.tute just now. It doesn’t matter if a prost.i.tute got hurt, because what could she do anyway?
“Did someone visit her? Who was it?” Shao Wanru asked casually.
“It was a prost.i.tute. She was good-looking. When she came in to visit Qin Yuru, they got into a fight like two crazy women!” the female prison guard looked at Qin Yuru, who was in a mess, and said disdainfully.
Shao Wanru waved her hand and motioned for her to leave!
Before she left, the female prison guard threatened Qin Yuru fiercely again. “It is a great blessing for you that Princess Chen has come to visit. If you don’t cherish the good luck, you will get into trouble!”
Qin Yuru s.h.i.+vered. Of course, she knew what the female prison guard said was true.
As her eyes fell on Shao Wanru’s beautiful and delicate face, Qin Yuru abruptly crawled to the prison door and said, “Second Sister, please save me. I... I didn’t mean to do that. She was so vicious that I had to set her up... Second Sister, save me. If you save me, I... I can tell you the secret of Duke Yong’s Mansion!”
She didn’t know that Duke Yong’s Mansion no longer existed during her prison time!
“First Miss, what do you want to tell me? Is it about your divorce or that Duke Yong’s Mansion keeps many women and intends to give them away?” Shao Wanru looked at Qin Yuru in front of her calmly and said.
Qin Yuru’s face was scratched with streaks of blood, and some of her hair had been torn off, straggling all over her shoulders.
“You... you knew about it...” Qin Yuru opened her eyes wide in shock and looked at Shao Wanru in horror. This was indeed her trump card. Although she had not read Madam Di’s letter, she knew something. In the past three years, she had seen some things in private, and after some a.s.sociations between those things she came up with this secret.
“Qin Yuru, don’t you have anything else to say?” Shao Wanru said lightly. Her long eyelashes cast an uneven shadow, which made her look a little cold. “I want to know what happened in Jiangzhou!”
