Chapter 329 Qin Yuru’s Reliance
It turned out to be the voice of Shui Ruolan. No one in the room expected that Shui Ruolan would say such tough words.
Shui Ruolan had always left an impression that she was gentle, delicate and weak. No matter after or before marrying into the Qin’s Mansion, she did not have a strong sense of existence in the mansion.
She basically had no objection to the decisions made by Madam Dowager and Qin Huaiyong. She rarely lodged an objection openly like this. Even when Qin Huaiyong frowned and looked at her, she still stared at Qin Huaiyong without dodging his eyes. Everyone could see the anger on her face and in her gentle eyes.
Qin Wanru suddenly realized something and approached her calmly. Shui Ruolan was pregnant, so great mood fluctuations would do harm to her!
“Mother, husband, it’s not Wanru’s fault. So many people saw that the bracelets were broken by Yuru. She drove Wanru off the carriage on the street, and then dragged Wanru. During the process, she accidentally dropped the bracelets. Wanru shouldn’t be blamed for this. If our mansion handles the matter in this way, we’ll be laughed at by others.”
Shui Ruolan said.
“Bullsh*t! It’s Qin Wanru who broke my bracelets. She did that intentionally. I didn’t drive her out of the carriage. She asked to do that!”
Qin Yuru couldn’t hide the hatred in her heart, glared at Shui Ruolan and said loudly.
“Yuru, I know that you have always been favored in the mansion, and your father has always loved you dearly. But so many people on the street have seen it with their own eyes. Even if you insist saying that, others have a fair opinion. Up to now, it’s not just a matter of a pair of broken bracelets. Although the bracelets are precious, do you think them more precious than your reputation?”
Shui Ruolan looked towards Qin Yuru and said.
“Bullsh*t. You’re speaking for Qin Wanru. You are…” Qin Yuru refused to stop and shouted in a sharp voice. However, Qin Huaiyong interrupted her by fiercely beating the table.
The room fell unusually silent. The tea cup on the table vibrated and fell down with water diffusing.
“Yuru, go back to your yard and reflect on what you did. It’s your own business. You shouldn’t go out recently!” Qin Huaiyong said coldly.
“Father, why did you treat me like that? Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion has asked me to go to their mansion to accompany her and talk with her often!” Qin Yuru said reluctantly in a loud voice.
In the past, she did not dare to confront Qin Huaiyong. But now it was different, because she was emboldened to do that. Her mother said that with the favor of Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion, even her father would make a concession.
“Yuru, even though Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion likes you, she’s not related to us and can’t intervene in our domestic affairs!” Shui Ruolan calmly a.n.a.lyzed.
“Shui Ruolan, what do you mean? Are you jealous that I’ve found favor with Old Madam, and then my mother will drive you from the position of Madam with Old Madam’s support? You are just a concubine. My mother is incomparable to you!”
Qin Yuru really went crazy. Things happened one after another, which had irritated her so much that her eyes turned red. She just said something from her usual conversation with Madam Di, and even reached out to point at Shui Ruolan and yelled in a sharp voice without treating Shui Ruolan as an elder at all.
“Slap her!” Madam Dowager was also angry and said sternly.
Nanny Duan, who had stopped Qin Yuru before, raised her hand to slap Qin Yuru and said, “First Miss, please calm down. They are all your elders. You can’t say something like that.”
“You are such an old b*itch! How dare you slap me? You dare to do that with the reliance of Madam Dowager? I’ll beat you to death, old b*tch!” Qin Yuru smiled out of ultimate anger, slapped Nanny Duan ruthlessly and cursed, “I don’t care about Madam Dowager at all! She’s not my father’s biological mother. Does she really think that she’s qualified to discipline me?”
She even cursed Madam Dowager, which annoyed Madam Dowager so much that with her face turning pale, she staggered a little and almost fell.
“Madam Dowager, Madam Dowager!” Slapped by Qin Yuru, Nanny Duan ignored Qin Yuru and hurriedly stepped forward to help Madam Dowager. She patted her back so anxiously that her voice changed.
With the blue veins bulging on his forehead, Qin Huaiyong strode out and fiercely slapped Qin Yuru with his face darkening. Qin Yuru took two steps back and fell to the ground heavily.
“Father, you slapped me?” Qin Yuru looked at Qin Huaiyong in disbelief with her eyes turning red and her tears falling down.
Over so many years, Qin Huaiyong had never beaten her like this. It was unbearable for Qin Yuru, who could always get everything she wanted in the mansion.
She burst into tears.
“Come here and send the First Miss back to her yard. From today, she should stay in the yard to study and cultivate her moral character. Besides, ask the etiquette instructor to instruct the First Miss every day. If the etiquette instructor can’t make a decent lady of her, she’s not allowed to leave the yard!” With the blue veins bulging fiercely on his forehead, Qin Huaiyong said in a sharp voice.
“Yes, general!” Two inferior old maids came over and took Qin Yuru out by holding her arms.
“Father, father, how can you do this to me? I am the future wife of the heir of Duke Yong’s Mansion. Besides, Old Madam of Duke Xing likes me and said that she will ask Madam of Duke Xing to adopt me as her daughter and recommend me to Rui’an Great Elder Princess.”Read more chapter on our vi pnovel
Qin Yuru came to her senses at this moment. Knowing that she would be taken away, she struggled while screaming, without any decency and dignity of a Miss of an aristocratic family.
With a calm face, Qin Huaiyong waved vigorously. The two old maids did not hesitate anymore and took Qin Yuru away. After hurriedly bowing to Qin Huaiyong, Mei Xue chased after them.
The room became silent.
Qin Wanru stared at the tips of her shoes, motionless, with her long eyelashes fluttering twice and concealing the coldness in her eyes.
What had happened today was a great blow to Qin Yuru, so she said so many improper words out of control. The pair of blood jade bracelets given by Old Madam of Duke Xing seemed to have guided her to a golden avenue. She and her mother had plotted for so many days and were about to get the best result. At this moment, it was the easiest for her to get impetuous.
Qin Yuru had been in such a state of impetuosity and arrogance before, but suddenly the blood jade bracelets were broken and her future suddenly became unknown. Qin Yuru inevitably became fl.u.s.tered and crazy.
What she had said just now was extremely rude. If she was in any other aristocratic families, her future would have been ruined. However, it was different in the Qin’s Mansion. She was the only daughter of Qin Huaiyong and the fiancee of the heir of Duke Yong’s Mansion. As far as these two points were concerned, Qin Yuru could have other plots.
Qin Yuru finally came to her senses and said something very meaningful. Qin Wanru found that Qin Huaiyong’s face didn’t change, but he clenched his right fist hard once.
Old Madam of Duke Xing thought highly of Qin Yuru and even said that she would ask Madam of Duke Xing to adopt Qin Yuru as her daughter. This was enough to greatly enhance Qin Yuru’s status. Regarding recommending Qin Yuru to Rui’an Great Elder Princess, it certainly meant something more.
Qin Wanru took a deep breath with her long eyelashes fluttering. She understood Qin Yuru’s words, because she was now basically sure that she was the daughter of the former heir of Duke Xing’s Mansion, but what about her father Qin Huaiyong? He seemed to understand Qin Yuru’s words as well. Did it mean that he knew a little bit about it?
She was so sad and felt like her heart was beaten by something heavily. She felt the sharp and sorrow!
No matter in the last life or in this life, Qin Wanru had always regarded Qin Huaiyong as her father. In the last life, she ended up with such a miserable situation that she was even unable to return home. Even then, she believed that her father had his difficulties. The daughter married was like the water splashed out. It was reasonable that he couldn’t help her.
She was expelled by Deputy Prime Minister’s Chambers with a bad reputation. Madam Di was in charge of the Qin’s Mansion, and her father was a man in charge of the outer court. He couldn’t help her even if he wanted to.
But in fact, it was not as she thought.
A hand slowly and firmly held Qin Wanru’s hand. Despite the thin and cold fingers, it held her firmly, as if to give her strength, even though the owner of the hand was also weak.
She slightly raised her head and looked at the caring face of Shui Ruolan. With a white and slightly fragile face, she was also a fragile woman. Seeing her cover her belly with one hand and hold her with the other hand with caring eyes, Qin Wanru felt her lips s.h.i.+vered a little, but could do nothing except for holding her hand firmly.
The coldness in her heart seemed to be alleviated slightly. She held Shui Ruolan’s hand to warm herself and Shui Ruolan.
“Invite a doctor to give medical advice to Madam Dowager!” Qin Huaiyong went back behind the desk, sat down, stretched out one hand to touch the other hand and said feebly.
“I’m… fine. Huaiyong, I’m going to talk about this… with you!” Madam Dowager had got better at this moment. She picked up the cup on the table with her trembling fingers, took a sip, and felt slightly refreshed.
This pair of blood jade bracelets was given by Old Madam of Duke Xing. They couldn’t smash the bracelets for no reason without any explanation.
“Yes, mother!” Qin Huaiyong nodded, looked towards Shui Ruolan whose face was also pale, and said softly, “Ruolan, you are tired too. You and Wanru may leave and take a rest. Mother and I will solve the problem. Don’t worry!”
“Okay!” Shui Ruolan nodded. Qin Wanru reached out to help her and then walked out cautiously with her. Shui Ruolan seemed to be in poor condition. With a pale face and drifting eyes, she seemed to be greatly discouraged.
She shouldn’t be discouraged by Qin Yuru!
Forcing herself to walk out of the courtyard, Shui Ruolan broke down and leaned to one side. If it weren’t for Qin Wanru and Qionghua’s constant attention, she would have fallen to the ground.
“Go there for a rest. Qionghua, find a doctor and ask him to come over with some medicine for preventing miscarriage. Yujie, bring my needles!” Qin Wanru said calmly despite her head covered with sweat. With a nervous look, she grasped Shui Ruolan’s hand firmly to give her insignificant strength.
She put her hand on Shui Ruolan’s veins, and could feel her extremely weak pulse. It was very weak, unprecedentedly weak…
