Chapter 559 A Pair! The One Hurt Face and the One Hurt Hand!
Shao Yanru’s eyes were as sharp as knives and she looked at Shao Wanru coldly. She could hardly control the expression on her face. After a long while, she calmed down and walked slowly to Shao Wanru’s side. She said seriously, “Fifth Sister, no matter whether you have any misunderstanding to Mother and Grandmother or not, you have to remember that we are a family and we are related by blood. If there is anything, you can talk about it in private. Otherwise, it is not good to hurt anyone!”
“Is Big Sister sincere?” Shao Wanru turned around and said with light eyes.
Shao Yanru’s expression became more and more sincere. She sighed, held Shao Wanru’s hand, and said softly, “Of course I am sincere. No matter what Fifth Sister thinks, you can tell me. It is our mansion’s blessing to solve the doubts. We can’t fall out as what others say. Others will only say that Fifth Sister is unfilial!”
Her expression was as sincere as it could be, and her eyes seemed to be able to speak. Her manners were dignified and decent, and she looked like a best elder sister.
She didn’t look like she couldn’t control her anger just now. In other words, she couldn’t control her anger just because she was angry for a moment, and she didn’t really have any bad intentions.
Shao Yanru’s behavior was perfect in every aspect. Even though she could not control herself just now, it made sense. After all, she was affected by Qing’er’s words because of her biological mother and grandmother. It was possible for her, a daughter and a granddaughter, to lose her composure in anger.
She was really awesome. The change of her acting skills was really natural!
“Big Sister, I want to know the thing about the silver bracelet. Who painted the honey on my bracelet? Why did he only smear mine but no other brothers and sisters? And the longevity lock was also given to me by my grandmother. Why was it also smeared with honey?”
Shao Wanru looked a little moved, and her expression looked a little better. After thinking for a while, she said bluntly.
“Fifth Sister, even if you don’t say anything, I will find out what happened. It was a little hasty for me to return to the manor this time. I came back in a hurry because I was worried that you would be lonely on the mountain. I didn’t have time to ask Mother about it. But I think there should be a conclusion in a few days. I can’t let you feel wronged.”
Shao Yanru said with a serious look. After that, she turned sideways and bowed deeply to Shao Wanru. “I apologize to Fifth Sister on behalf of my mother because she has not found the person who hurt you yet. It’s my mother’s fault!”
Shao Wanru moved aside and avoided Shao Yanru’s bow. As a younger sister, how could she accept her elder sister’s bow so gracefully!
“Big sister, you’re too serious. How can you bow to me? Big sister, don’t be so polite. Please ask my aunt to find the person who framed me quickly. When I went to Great Elder Princess’s Mansion, my grandmother also said that if she couldn’t find it, she wanted to intervene. I don’t think it’s appropriate. After all, it’s a matter of our Shao’s Mansion. It’s not good for my grandmother to intervene!”
“Yes, that’s right. Fifth Sister, please don’t worry!” Shao Yanru nodded repeatedly.
The two of them had made things clear again. They walked back together intimately. “Fifth Sister’s hand is hurt? What’s going on?”
Shao Yanru glanced at her and found the handkerchief on Shao Wanru’s hand. She asked in surprise.
Shao Wanru waved her hands in the air and said with awkwardness, “I accidentally moved my hands and feet when I was sleeping and b.u.mped into the wall!”
“Fifth Sister, be careful. The houses built by Yuhui Nunnery are made of stones. How can it not hurt when you hit stones?” Shao Yanru said with concern. She reached out to pull Shao Wanru’s hand to check it, but her hand pa.s.sed by Shao Wanru’s hand in the air.
Shao Wanru picked up her hand and blew it with the corner of her mouth. “Big Sister, don’t worry. I’m fine!”
While they were talking, they had arrived at a turning corner. Shao Yanru stopped and said, “Fifth Sister, I’ll go and see Pushan Nun. She will go to the palace today or tomorrow. I’m afraid that it will be difficult to see her in the future!”
Pushan Nun said that she was painting at first, and then she said that she was going to the palace.
Although the Empress Dowager did not say how long it would take for Pushan Nun to live in the palace, there was no fixed date now. It was true that she did not know when to see her. As a disciple who had learned painting in fact with her, it was reasonable for Shao Yanru to see her off now.
It was just that Shao Yanru had the time to watch the fun here just now and had no time to see Pushan Nun. It could be imagined how “precious” her intention was.
Of course, not only today, but Shao Yanru came back very early yesterday. Shao Yanru didn’t go out in the yard, so she was not unwilling to let Pushan Nun go.
“That’s right. Big Sister, please do as you wis.h.!.+” Shao Wanru took a step back to one side and said with a slight smile, as if she didn’t feel anything wrong.
Since her Big Sister could hold back her anger and pretended to be close to her, she did not object. After all, she was still in mourning on the mountain and did not want to make trouble to let others think that she alienated her from her sisters.
She turned her watery eyes to look thoughtfully in the direction Shao Yanru left, and then she took the two servant girls back. She was not in a hurry to go back, so she did not go into the courtyard. Instead, she turned a corner and walked along the high wall. Previously, there were so many people of the Ministry of Justice, and she had not come out for a few days.
Now, more than half of the people of the Ministry of Justice who stayed in Yuhui Nunnery were gone, and many places were not as full of surveillance as they used to be.
Walking along the high wall, it was still the same side door that was not big that day. Several nuns were standing outside the side door. They used to stay in the courtyard outside the side door at this time. If there was nothing to do, they would not come out. Shao Wanru had walked here for many times, and she seldom saw the nuns guarding there.
But now, it was much more on the alert.
Several stout nuns looked directly at Shao Wanru. Fortunately, Shao Wanru had lived here for a period of time. Even if these nuns had not seen her, they had heard of her. Seeing that she came over, they bowed to her with hands crossed. Shao Wanru also bowed sideways and then pa.s.sed by slowly.
After what had happened before, it was not so easy to get in. Not only it was not easy to get in, but also it would be very hard to pa.s.s by. When she first came to the Yuhui Nunnery, Chu Liuchen had also told her some things, but now she had not done one of them.
Along the way, she stopped at the door of a small courtyard. Looking at the lock on the door, it seemed that no one lived there.
“Where are the people here?” Shao Wanru approached and looked around. This was the courtyard where Mo Qiuyi lived. She had lived on the mountain for almost five years. Even if she was not here at this time in normal times, the door would not be locked. There were not many people in the nunnery, let alone there were fewer people here.
“It seems that she has left. It is said that she left when the masters of the executioners left!” Qing’er thought for a while and said, “I saw someone when I pa.s.sed by before. Miss, if you want to know, I can inquire about it later.”
“No need!” Shao Wanru shook her head, turned around, and continued to walk forward. She was not interested in this Mo Qiuyi. If she had not maneuvered her and kneeled in front of her grandmother, she would not have had the mood to ask about her.
On that day, she was anxious to send her fellow countryman down the mountain. Moreover, she wanted to take advantage of her grandmother’s carriage. However, her grandmother did not agree. Now, everything that happened to her had nothing to do with Shao Wanru!
Whether she was the remnants of the previous dynasty or the descendants of the previous emperor, none of these had anything to do with her!
In her eyes, Mo Qiuyi was just a girl who had cultivated in seclusion on the mountain for five years. At the same time, she had also cultivated in seclusion for more than two years. Since they all cultivated in seclusion, they just took care of their own things, and no one would be familiar with each other. So she just left it aside.
She had a feeling that Mo Qiuyi was very stubborn and was not a person who could get along well. Since she was not easy to get along, it was not a necessity to get along with her. It was best not to ask about her.
Shao Wanru thought so, so she continued to walk forward casually. She thought that she would not have any chance to meet Mo Qiuyi again. But soon, in the capital, they met again. However, when they met again, their status had been different…
Her own courtyard was still there. She pushed open the slightly closed door and entered with two servant girls. As soon as she entered, she saw Xiao Xuanzi’s smiling face.
Shao Wanru took two steps back and went out of the door. She looked at the courtyard in astonishment. This was her courtyard. That was right!
“Fifth Miss, come in quickly. Our master has been waiting for you for a long time. We come to say goodbye to you and will go back in the afternoon!” Xiao Xuanzi came out happily and led her in with a smile. His eyes fell on Shao Wanru’s hands, which was slightly raised, and his smile became more sincere.
One’s hand was injured, and the other’s face was injured. They were so suitable!
Shao Wanru looked around. If someone found that Chu Liuchen was here, it would not be a good thing. Even if she was not here, it would be hard to explain.
“Don’t worry, Fifth Miss. No one will see us. I’ve asked someone to check it out. Fifth Miss, please!” Xiao Xuanzi knew what Shao Wanru was worried about and said with a smile.
Shao Wanru had no choice but to step forward. The two servant girls followed her and closed the door.
“You two just stay here!” Shao Wanru ordered the two servant girls and then followed Xiao Xuanzi into her main room like a guest.
Especially when she saw Chu Liuchen lying on her couch aboveboardly, she felt particularly wronged.
Of course, this kind of grievance immediately disappeared like a spring breeze and rain when she saw a few slightly swollen traces on Chu Liuchen’s handsome and flawless face.
Chu Liuchen’s face was extremely handsome, and even several of his cousins could not be compared with him. Moreover, when he smiled gently, his handsome face made people feel as if he was made of jade and was unparalleled in the world. His complexion was light, and although he was pale, he was more like a beautiful jade.
Now the delicate jade had flaw, which made Shao Wanru feel guilty for no reason.
She saw Chu Liuchen leaning against the couch. He was lazy and closed his eyes slightly. A book fell on the ground casually, as if it was in his own bedroom.
She looked back with her fluttering eyes and found that Xiao Xuanzi was no longer there. It was so quiet in the room that she could hear her breathing.
This situation was not so good! Shao Wanru instinctively took a few steps back and peeked at the person on the couch. When she saw that the person on the couch did not wake up, she turned around and walked out carefully.
A lazy voice suddenly came to her ears from behind, “Well, are you not going to take responsibility?”
