Medical Princess

Chapter 320 Made a Pack of Lies

“You are presumptuous! When we are talking here, there is no space for a servant like you to speak!” Di Fenglan looked at Xiao Xuanzi and shouted angrily with her words almost squeezed out of her throat.

“Miss Di, I really have message for you. Just now I was asking this Miss where you are!” Xiao Xuanzi continued reporting without being threatened. Since he was Chu Liuchen’s trusted subordinate, he had seen all kinds of people, let alone an ordinary Miss from aristocratic family.

There was even a sense of anxiety in his behaviors.

“Miss Di, you just asserted emphatically that this servant coming to me is up to no good, but how about now? It is you that he wants to find. Does it also mean that Miss Di has anything to do with the outer yard?” Qin Wanru said lightly.

“You are presumptuous!” Feeling that several Misses beside her took another step back, Di Fenglan became livid.

“Miss Di, I really have something to tell you. It’s about Childe Di. Just now in the outer courtyard, Childe Di was drunk. His servant is still taking care of him and particularly asked me to find Miss Di and to ask if you can go over to take care of Childe Di! “Xiao Xuanzi said in a serious way.

“My elder brother is drunk?” Di Fenglan froze for a moment and asked in a hurry. The anger on her face receded like a tide.

“Yes, he’s so drunk that he can hardly recognize anyone.” Xiao Xuanzi shook his head.

“Where is he?” Di Fenglan asked.

“It’s not far from here in the front. Walk out of Chuihua Gate and turn right, and then you can see him. If Miss Di doesn’t know the way, you can also ask the old maid at Chuihua Gate and also ask her to guide the way. All the male guests who come to this mansion today can rest there if they want!” said Xiao Xuanzi with a relaxed expression.

These words seemed so true and were said without hesitation. Di Fenglan believed, and could not think of making more fuss about Qin Wanru, so she nodded immediately. “Okay, lead the way in the front!”

“Well, Miss Di please follow me!” Xiao Xuanzi laughed and turned to walk outside. He just came in from Chuihua Gate, and met Qin Wanru within a short distance, so he was very familiar with this road.

“Miss Di, you just follow him to leave without asking clearly?” Qin Wanru suddenly said when she saw that Di Fenglan was about to leave.

“I am going to take care of my brother. Is this your business?” Di Fenglan snorted coldly.

“Miss Di, it seems not proper for you to follow a servant in such way, isn’t it? Unwitting people may think that Miss Di is haste to visit someone!” Qin Wanru mocked.

The words she said now was what Di Fenglan meant before, so she immediately mocked Di Fenglan to turn her face blue and pale for a while. But Di Fenglan did not immediately get angry, and just stared at Qin Wanru severely. “Qin Wanru, I am going to take care of my brother! ”

“Who knows!” Qin Wanru grinned and turned to float away, leaving Di Fenglan and a few young Misses, who looked thoughtful, standing still.

As soon as Qin Wanru left, several Misses also said their farewells one after another. Although they had a good personal relationship with Di Fenglan, Di Fenglan was now going to take care of her drunk brother. It would not be appropriate for them to follow her.

After saying goodbye to each of them, Di Fenglan hurriedly followed Xiao Xuanzi and went out. She was really anxious, because her elder brother had a bad temper, especially when he drank too much alcohol. Once, because of drinking too much, he even scrambled with someone for a girl from the brothel in the street.

If this happened in Duke Xing’s Mansion and in front of so many childes from aristocratic families, it would be a huge shame.

Besides, others will doubt her characteristics because of her brother’s misconduct!

“Miss, why does Miss Di believe so quickly?” After Di Fenglan and other Misses left one after another, Qin Wanru and Yujie turned out from behind a big tree. Actually, the two of them had not gone far.

“I heard that Childe Di has a poor drinking manner!” Qin Wanru said, and there was a bloodthirsty chill flashing in her eyes. The so-called poor drinking manner meant that he almost hurt her in the last life.

“So Miss Di is afraid that Childe Di will make trouble!” Yujie understood. She stood behind Qin Wanru, so she did not see the dark and bloodthirsty chill in Qin Wanru’s eyes.

“Let’s go. Let’s go to find Big Sister!” Qin Wanru stood still for a while, and turned around after calming down.

“Why do we find First Miss?” Yujie followed to turn around.

“Childe Di has been drunk, so I must tell Big Sister.” Qin Wanru thoughtfully looked at the inner courtyard.

Duke Xing’s Mansion was very large. Just looking in this way, she could only see the carved beams and painted rafters, exquisite pavilions and buildings, as well as artificial hills and courtyard. It was indeed a large aristocratic family in the capital city.

But she had not seen Qin Yuru along this way. She also followed Qin Yuru at that time, but she was nowhere to be found.

She even asked a few servant girls on the road and they all said that they had not seen Qin Yuru. From the previous position to the current position next to Chuihua Gate, she had not found Qin Yuru all the way.

Did it mean that Qin Yuru had been taken to some other direction by someone after leaving her?

Qin Yuru’s behaviors today did not seem to have no conspiracy, and Qin Wanru also had her thought about what Qin Yuru was planning. Qin Wanru wanted to see what kind of person the Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion was…

“You are the First Miss in Qin’s Mansion?” The temperature in the room was quite high, which was completely different from the cold winter wind outside. However, this over heat made Qin Yuru feel uncomfortable who was in thick and heavy winter clothes.

But she dared not to show it. The Madam Dowager who sat in the higher place and did not seem in good look was the Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion.

“Yes, my father is Ningyuan Army General.” Qin Yuru tried hard to make herself seemingly calm and indifferent, even though at this time there was a huge wave in her heart. It was really not easy for her to show this indifferent look now when the wealth and prosperity seemed to be within reach.

“Why does your mother hit you?” There was a kind of incense burning in the Old Madam’s room. It was very strong and the scent of smell almost blurred the Old Madam’s face for a moment, but at the next moment, it appeared clearly in front of Qin Yuru.

“Mother… Mother… Perhaps… I have made my mother angry!” Qin Yuru said carefully as Madam Di had ordered.

“Your mother hit you like this before?” asked the Old Madam.

“She also hit me before, but that was not as severe as this time. I may not do well, so I always annoy my mother and is not as good as my second sister!” Qin Yuru lowered her head and cried.

When she used her handkerchief to wipe her tears, her long sleeves fell a little, and a few bruises could be seen with bloodstains. It was clear that those were not light hits just at a glance.

The Old Madam had some pity for Qin Yuru on her face and asked confusedly, “It is heard that your second sister was not born by your mother, but you were. Can it be possible that she treats the Second Miss better than you, who is not the natural daughter?”

“I don’t know this!” Qin Yuru lowered her head sadly with red eye sockets.

“Our First Miss was not the natural daughter of our Madam either!” Mei Xue said boldly behind her.

“Mei Xue, don’t talk nonsense!” Qin Yuru reproached in a low voice.

Mei Xue plopped to kneel down. “First Miss, I do not say wrong. When Madam hit you, she really did not look like a natural mother. Before that, I had also secretly heard Nanny Zhou and Madam talking privately that…”

“Mei Xue, you are presumptuous!” Qin Yuru scolded angrily and her face flushed with anger. She seemed extremely reluctant to let Mei Xue say such a thing.

“Tell me what’s going on?” The Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion seemed to have interest in this. She said with a cough, and her eyes fell on Mei Xue.

“Old Madam, I… I…” Mei Xue looked in a panic and peeped at Qin Yuru, but she did not dare to spit out a word.

“First Miss Qin, perhaps there is something to do with Duke Xing’s Mansion. Could you allow your servant girl to finish it?” The Old Madam looked at Qin Yuru with a smile and a gentle look.

“Yes!” Qin Yuru lowered her head holding the handkerchief. How could she not show respect to Old Madam of Duke Xing, let alone Old Madam of Duke Xing also said that this matter was related to Duke Xing’s Mansion.

“You can go on. Tell me what has happened?” the Old Madam asked Mei Xue kindly.

“Once First Miss was beaten again and I held First Miss to leave. After that, First Miss was afraid that Madam was so angry that she might hurt her own body, so she asked me to go over and look secretly. I heard Madam speaking to Nanny Zhou about something that First Miss was not the natural daughter of Madam and seemed, seemed to be picked from somewhere.”

Since Qin Yuru had agreed, Mei Xue answered fluently after a salutation to Old Madam.

“Picked? When was it?” The Old Madam suddenly turned a delightful face.

“I, I do not know this. It is said that in the rebellion which happened a few years ago, Madam saw First Miss looking good, so she took First Miss in. At the time of the war, Madam did not live with general. After that, she made an excuse that First Miss had been born early and raised in her hometown first. Madam had no child, and the general saw Madam like her, so he also agreed to keep this child!”

Mei Xue said.

“How old is your First Miss today?” The Old Madam’s voice also trembled, and almost uncontrollably wanted to stand up.

“Our First Miss is thirteen years old now!” Mei Xue answered.

“When you came to our mansion last time, you wore a piece of clothes with orchid embroidery. Why did you wear that?” The Old Madam took a deep breath and turned to ask Qin Yuru in a slow voice. Her hands held the armrests tightly with blue veins standing out.

“Which one?” Qin Yuru looked blank and turned back to look at Mei Xue, with a look that she didn’t remember. A Miss from aristocratic family had a lot of clothes, and many of them were prepared by their close servant girl. It was normal for her not to recall it immediately.

“The one you wore last time when you came to Duke Xing’s Mansion. At that time, Qi Rongzhi and your second sister were wearing similar clothes!” said the Old Madam with more anxiety on her forehead.

Mei Xue’s eyes turned around, and suddenly she raised up her head to look at Qin Yuru. “Miss, I remember. It was you who first embroidered those orchid patterns. Both First Miss Qi and Second Miss embroidered after seeing yours!”

“The one that second sister and Miss Qi had the same embroidery?” Qin Yuru realized suddenly.

“Yes, that one. Where did your orchid pattern come from?” the Old Madam asked urgently.

“This, this is the pattern on a seal that I take with me!” Qin Yuru raised her eyes blankly, and then suddenly remembered.
