Chapter 612 A Fight between Two Shrews, Who Wins?
“Shao Yanru, you are so… You instigated me to set up the trap and now spoke ill of me and push all the blame to me. You b*tch, I will beat you to death!” Qin Yuru showed up at the door and said with a fierce and angry look. After seeing Shao Yanru and her maid in the inner room clearly, she directly pounced on Shao Yanru.
Qu Le and Yujie took two steps back and leaned against the bed to protect Shao Wanru, knocking down the lifted gauze curtain beside them in a moment of nervousness.
The gauze curtain fell and covered Shao Wanru’s upper body, enabling her to open her eyes and watch the farce outside through the gauze curtain.
She managed to allure the two of them here in order to offer them an opportunity to put on this farce!
Seeing Qin Yuru rush over with a malicious look in her eyes, Shao Yanru realized that there was a situation and took a step back nervously. She, who had always been generous and decent in front of others and seldom confronted others directly, had never seen someone as reckless as Qin Yuru.
Shuqi reacted quickly and rushed forward to stop Qin Yuru. However, Qin Yuru, who harbored deep hatred, pushed her away and pounced on Shao Yanru behind her.
Shuqi struggled to get up and protect Shao Yanru, but Mei Xue, who was behind Qin Yuru, pulled her, slapped her fiercely, and knocked her out at once.
Compared with Shuqi, Mei Xue had always been tough. She had often helped Qin Yuru do evil when in Jiangzhou, but just seemed to be weak after moving to the capital city and living a miserable life. However, just now she heard it from outside that the First Miss Shao in front of her s.h.i.+fted all the blame onto her master.
If her master had to take the blame, she would get killed. At this moment, she had deep hatred like Qin Yuru and was in no mood to think about too much. Besides, before they entered the room, her master told her to beat Shao Yanru’s maid severely, so she certainly would not restrain herself at the moment.
Shuqi felt dizzy after being slapped and shook her head. Suddenly she heard her master’s scream and looked back in a hurry, only to see that Qin Yuru gave her master a few slaps, grabbed her master’s hair, and pulled her master’s head down hard. She got anxious and intended to stand up to help Shao Yanru.
Unfortunately, Mei Xue did not intend to let her go and grabbed her hair and beat her. Shuqi reacted and started to fight with Mei Xue. The two maids got entangled with each other at the moment.
After being slapped several times, Shao Yanru had no time to care about her manners. She struggled desperately while screaming at the top of her voice.
Qu Le and Yujie seemed to be scared out of their wits. After watching them fight for a while, Qu Le rushed out and shouted, “Help! Help!”
They had made such big noises that the few imperial physicians, who were waiting on one side, had been alarmed.
These imperial physicians, who were all invited here by Rui’an Great Elder Princess from the imperial palace, had been baffled by Shao Wanru’s unconscious state and pondering how to wake up the Fifth Miss Shao. But now hearing the heartrending and sharp female screams coming from the main room, they were all stunned.
Then they reacted and rushed over with their medicine chests. Seeing Qu Le come out to call for help, they immediately rushed in.
Before they got out of the imperial palace to treat the Fifth Miss Shao, the Empress Dowager specially told them that they must cure the Fifth Miss Shao, otherwise, they would be punished.
They didn’t know what was going on in the main room, but didn’t dare to pause and rushed straight in the room for fear that the Fifth Miss Shao would be in danger. However, after getting in the room and seeing what was going on, the imperial physicians were all stunned.
Two maids were fighting with each other, while two Misses were also fighting with each other. At this moment, all of them had been beaten so terribly that no one could tell how many slaps and scratches each of them had suffered.
The only one who could prevent them was the Fifth Miss Shao, who was lying on the bed. However, she was still in a coma and couldn’t prevent them even if she wanted to.
“Shao Yanru, you b*tch, it was you who made Qi Rongzhi deliver a message that you got a way to deal with Shao Wanru and I just needed to coax Shao Wanru to come down the mountain. I thought that you really cared about us and wanted to restore the relations.h.i.+p between me and my sister with the excuse of my grandma’s illness. However, it turns out that you are the most despicable person!”
Seeing some people come, Qin Yuru grabbed Shao Yanru’s hair more tightly with one hand, while slapping Shao Yanru hard with the other hand.
Of course, it was Old Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion who taught her to say that, but Old Madam hadn’t expected that she would meet Shao Yanru and just told her to give this explanation to Great Elder Princess and Shao Wanru. Unexpectedly, she didn’t meet Great Elder Princess and even found that Shao Wanru was still in a coma. At the sight of the imperial physicians, she immediately said those words.
The imperial physicians were from the imperial palace, so as long as she said it, Shao Yanru could not deny it.
“You… you are talking nonsense… I… know nothing about it… ” Shao Yanru said. She, who was shrewd, had always hidden her viciousness in her heart and had never been beaten like this before. Unexpectedly, as a Miss from an aristocratic family, Qin Yuru recklessly came up to beat her. Although she felt a sharp pain, she knew that she couldn’t admit it at this moment.
“Nonsense? Shao Yanru, the reason why you want to prevent sister Wanru from returning to your Duke Xing’s Mansion is that your second branch of Duke Xing’s Mansion intends to occupy the t.i.tle of Duke Xing, which is supposed to be inherited by sister Wanru’s younger brother. If you managed to get rid of sister Wanru this time, sister Wanru’s younger brother will be your next target. Your second branch of Duke Xing’s Mansion is so good at scheming!”
Qin Yuru gnashed her teeth and said in rage. What she had heard outside just now made her want to beat Shao Yanru to death. She was in a difficult situation, but the b*tch Shao Yanru came up with a way to push her into such a trap. How could she spare Shao Yanru. She fought with Shao Yanru with her strength, while saying what Old Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion had told her.
Shao Wanru, who was lying on the bed, leaned over slightly and looked sideways at Qin Yuru. She had not seen Qin Yuru for more than two years. Now Qin Yuru seemed to have made some progress. Under the instruction of Old Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion, Qin Yuru knew that now it was a good time to mention the incident in front of the imperial physicians and managed to make Shao Yanru unable to speak clearly.
Shao Yanru was no match for Qin Yuru in a fight.
“You… you let go of me. You are talking nonsense…” Dragged by Qin Yuru, Shao Yanru felt dizzy and didn’t hear Qin Yuru’s words completely. Nevertheless, knowing that Qin Yuru wouldn’t speak well of her, she rebuked loudly and pulled Qin Yuru’s hand.
“Stop!” A harsh shout came from outside. Rui’an Great Elder Princess, who got the news, showed up at the door with several Mesdames. When she saw what was going on inside, she trembled with anger and instructed some old maids to pull them apart.
A few old maids came up to pull the two of them, who were wrestling with each other, apart with great strength. Both of them were in a mess with disheveled hair. No one knew who the several locks of hair on the ground belonged to, and their faces were in an even worse situation. Both of them had a b.l.o.o.d.y nose and a swollen face with scratches, which were not very deep but made them look undignified.
They looked more like two shrews on the street rather than two Misses from aristocratic families.
As two Misses were separated, the two maids were naturally separated with a b.l.o.o.d.y nose and a swollen face as well.
“Your Highness, I didn’t trap sister Wanru. Please uphold justice for me. Shao Yanru asked Qi Rongzhi to deliver a message that she could restore the relations.h.i.+p between me and sister Wanru and I just needed to make sister Wanru come down the mountain with the excuse of my grandma’s illness. When I was young and immature, I didn’t get along well with sister Wanru. Now I really want to be friendly with sister Wanru, but… I was used by Shao Yanru!”
Qin Yuru threw herself in front of Great Elder Princess and cried out loud with no time to care about the scratches on her face.
These words were told by Old Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion before, and she had intended to complain about it with tears directly when meeting Great Elder Princess. Unexpectedly she didn’t meet Great Elder Princess until now.
Although Qin Yuru had disappeared in the circle of n.o.ble ladies in the capital city for such a long time, what she had done was so shocking that although it had been more than two years, people still inquired about her from time to time and knew that she lived a terrible life in Duke Yong’s Mansion.
Her words conformed to the fact that she lived a terrible life. In this case, she should restore her relations.h.i.+p with Qin Wanru indeed. After all, Shao Wanru now was not an ordinary n.o.ble young lady.
Her words sounded very reasonable! She must be suggested by someone!
“Your Highness, she’s obviously talking nonsense. Even if Qi Rongzhi had an agreement with her, it has nothing to do with me. I didn’t say anything to her. How could she frame me? Hearing that my Fifth Sister had an accident, I got anxious and came to see her. I didn’t expect to run into this crazy lady. Your Highness, please uphold justice for me!”
Shao Yanru collected herself, restrained her emotions, walked up to Great Elder Princess, knelt down, and defended herself, “What do the affairs of the Qin’s Mansion have to do with me? I’m wondering if Young Madam of Duke Yong is possessed so that she said that!”
“I’m possessed? First Miss Shao, your second branch of Duke Xing’s Mansion has always coveted the t.i.tle of the heir of Duke Xing, right? In this case, you won’t leave the eldest branch alone, not to mention sister Wanru. You took advantage of my eager desire to restore my relations.h.i.+p with sister Wanru to coax her to come down the mountain and set up a trap for her. Your… your motive is execrable!”
Qin Yuru pointed at Shao Yanru and scolded her, and even reached out in an attempt to slap Shao Yanru when getting indignant. Fortunately, the servant beside Great Elder Princess stopped her.
Great Elder Princess looked at one of them and at the other with a cold face, seeming to be unable to make a judgment at once. Finally, she waved her hand and said wearily, “Both of you may go back now. The officers of the Ministry of Justice will investigate it and find out the one behind it. Besides, don’t come here again. The two of you even fought in front of Zhuozhuo’s bed before she wakes up. Neither of you cares about her!”
“I…” Qin Yuru still wanted to say something but was helped up by an old maid and dragged out.
Shao Yanru was also pulled up by an old maid of Great Elder Princess’s Mansion. Each of them was led out by an old maid, leaving a few Mesdames following Great Elder Princess here. They shook their heads secretly. They had considered the First Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion a fair lady, but now they thought that she was probably a scheming lady.
Since Young Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion lived a terrible life in Duke Yong’s Mansion, it was reasonable that she wanted to be friendly with Shao Wanru, who had been her younger sister before, and thus to seek support from Shao Wanru. Duke Xing’s Mansion seemed to intend to pa.s.s the t.i.tle to the second branch. If it was true, the First Miss Shao might be after something.
Or not only First Miss Shao, but also Duke Xing’s Mansion was after something!
However, they could only know the truth after the Ministry of Justice finished the investigation!
“It’s… it’s noisy!” A low voice suddenly came from the bed, breaking the strange silence in the room…
