Medical Princess

Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion got angry. "Infanta Qinghua is my daughter-in-law! How can you confer the title of Infanta Qinghua's daughter on a person without informing us!" She launched a counterattack against Great Elder Princess as she felt embarrassed and she didn't like Qin Wanru at all.

Since a woman married into a man's family, people who had a relationship with her had to behave in accordance with the rules of her husband's family. How can one make a person the woman's daughter without informing the husband's family!

Even if they went to the imperial palace, Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion would be in the right.

"Well, I am telling you now that I want to accept Second Miss Qin as my granddaughter, and since I don't like First Miss Qin, you'd better not accept her!" Rui'an Great Elder Princess seemed to confront Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion.

Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion was almost devastated by her bossy tone. Pointing at Qin Yuru and then Qin Wanru, she said furiously after she finally got her breath back, "Great Elder Princess, it is First Miss Qin who has Infanta Qinghua's seal! Second Miss Qin is rude, greedy and even disrespectful to the seniors!"

Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion didn't intend to say these words. However, she now was in a fury because of Rui'an Great Elder Princess and she thought Rui'an Great Elder Princess was totally an idiot, an importunate old fool! Thus, she then blurted out with hatred toward Qin Wanru and Great Elder Princess.

"Old Madam, you dislike Second Miss Qin, don't you?"

"Absolutely!"

"If Second Miss Qin also has a seal, will you continue to dislike her?"

"I don't care. I don't like her anyway." Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion was unable to decide if she wanted to cry or to laugh when hearing Rui'an Great Elder Princess' question. "If Qin Wanru also has one? Or are there many seals like this?"

It was obvious that her mouth worked faster than her brain!

Qin Wanru lowered her head and stared at the floor in front of her impassively with her long eyelashes fluttering slightly. It seemed that she didn't know these two old ladies were talking about her.

Qin Yuru looked complacent. Even though Qin Wanru really was Infanta Qinghua's biological daughter, then so what? Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion didn't like her at all! This would benefit Qin Yuru because at least Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion would try her best to defend her when totally believing in Qin Yuru.

Frowning tightly, Qi Rongzhi looked at this old lady and then turned to the other one with confusion. She was overwhelmed by the astonishment raised by the current situation. She knew Qin Yuru's seal of bluegrass. Besides, she once found the pattern of bluegrass from Qin Wanru, asked others to embroider this pattern on her dress and then came to visit Duke Xing's Mansion with them together.

Qin Yuru was Qin Huaiyong's biological daughter, but Qin Wanru wasn't!

Qin Yuru claimed she was thirteen while she actually was fifteen. However, Qin Wanru was eleven years old!

Qin Yuru had the seal and Qin Wanru might also have one!

"She may have the seal at a very young age. Before the matter related to Qin Yuru and brother happened, Qin Wanru had been very obedient to Madam Di since she is Qin Wanru's foster mother. Thus, whatever she had at that time, Madam Di was able to take them all."

Thinking about these points, Qi Rongzhi suddenly looked astounded. She knew the truth! It was definitely impossible for Qin Yuru to be Infanta Qinghua's daughter while Qin Wanru might be!

She was totally shocked by her suspicion and her face changed intensely. There was sudden cold sweat on her forehead. Qin Yuru was trying to impersonate Infanta Qinghua's daughter! She changed her age and even indicated that she wasn't Madam Di's biological daughter. She did all these things deliberately!

Rubbing her handkerchief in her hand heavily, Qi Rongzhi didn't know which side she should stand by.

Qin Yuru or Qin Wanru?

She immediately made her choice. She decided to help Qin Yuru. By comparison, since she got the goods on Qin Yuru, she could threaten her in the future, which would benefit her more! Thinking in this way, Qi Rongzhi then moved slightly towards Qin Yuru because she had to get a chance to make a trade with Qin Yuru.

Although Qin Wanru kept her eyes on the ground, she saw Qi Rongzhi's movement. A trace of darkness appeared in her shimmery eyes. She squinted a little. She knew clearly what Qi Rongzhi intended to do and she knew Qi Rongzhi was going to stand by Qin Yuru and to confront her. Qin Wanru's mouth curved into an ironic and cold smile!

She had lost her chance!

"Old Madam, no matter what may happen, you will continue to consider Second Miss Qin as a repugnant person?" Rui'an Great Elder Princess repeated her words.

"Yes, I have told you I will always dislike her whatever happens!" Since Rui'an Great Elder Princess kept pressing her, Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion answered directly as she was full of anger now.

Madam of Duke Xing who was standing beside felt something was wrong. However, she had no right to interrupt the conversation between Rui'an Great Elder Princess and Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion because she was inferior to them in terms of the age.

"Old Madam, are you now sure that First Miss Qin is the former Heir of Duke Xing's biological daughter?" Rui'an Great Elder Princess brought the conversation back around to that topic though she seemed to digress a bit before.

"Yes! She is my eldest son's biological daughter! If you refuse to accept her, then I will do it!" Old Madam blurted out. She was totally on the hook set by Rui'an Great Elder Princess and poured out her worries immediately when hearing Rui'an Great Elder Princess' question. When she finished, she then felt she did something wrong. However, since she had said these words, she could not eat her words now.

The moment she finished, the whole room was silent and astonished. Several seniors stared at Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion in horror.

There was a huge difference between the meaning of nominal granddaughter and that of biological daughter. Did Old Madam firmly believe that this First Miss Qin was the former Heir of Duke Xing's biological daughter?

Qin Yuru looked at Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion in exaltation! She even wanted to kowtow to her right now!

Qi Rongzhi stood still and felt doubtful. She was not like Qin Yuru who was extremely excited now and her instincts told her that something was wrong. Thinking for a while, she decided to wait and see.

"She is Qinghua's biological daughter?" Rui'an Great Elder Princess asked coldly.

Since she had showed her true thought, Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion now decided not to hide her feelings anymore. "Do you see this seal clearly, Great Elder Princess?" Frowning tightly, she asked.

"It is just because of this seal?" Rui'an Great Elder Princess sneered.

"Absolutely no. I have heard that Madam Di doesn't treat her well. When she came to Duke Xing's Mansion, there were bruises on her body. Is there a mother who will treat her biological daughter in this way in the world? Besides, her..." Suddenly, Old Madam turned to look at Qi Rongzhi with a gloomy face. She was going to list Qin Yuru's age but Qi Rongzhi just proved Qin Yuru told a lie.

Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion suddenly had no idea what to say and looked hesitant!

"Her what?" Rui'an Great Elder Princess didn't intend to let go of Old Madam easily and thus, she kept asking.

"Her age is right!" Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion bit the bullet and said. However, she didn't say Qin Yuru's true age but just answered very ambiguously.

"How old is she?" Finding Old Madam was unwilling to answer accurately, Great Elder Princess then kept pressing her harder.

"Thirteen!" Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion now felt a bit regretful as she was not sure now.

Madam of Duke Xing looked bad. She tried to stop Old Madam but it was late. Thus, she had to keep standing aside and watching. She suddenly felt something was wrong.

Qin Wanru smiled. She smiled at the ground so brightly that her smile was like blooming flowers. Her shimmery eyes even looked beautiful and no others would be much prettier than her.

The conversation had completely exposed what Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion and Madam of Duke Xing tried to hide. Then, however they dodged, they could not claim that they were unwitting in a tactful way. Besides, Rui'an Great Elder Princess could finally get the chance to interfere with this matter according to what Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion said.

Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion seemed to have recognized Qin Yuru as the former Heir of Duke Xing and Infanta Qinghua's biological daughter. She now didn't dodge by saying that she wanted to accept Qin Yuru as her nominal granddaughter. Thus, it was easier for them to counterattack.

"Great Elder Princess, I also have the seal!" Qin Wanru raised her head and looked at Rui'an Great Elder Princess with her clean and shimmery eyes. When she moved sideways a bit to obviate those eyes, Yujie hurried to step forward to block those eyes.

Qin Wanru took out a string around her neck and took it down. When everyone looked at the string, they suddenly found there was a seal hanging on the string. Someone who stood close to her immediately found that it was also a seal of bluegrass.

Madam of Duke Xing suddenly got cold hands and feet. She was stiff and almost frozen. She turned around difficultly and glared at Qin Yuru fiercely. She staggered and almost fell down.

Nanny Sheng hurried to hold her.

When she stood firmly, she pursed her lips tightly. Then her eyes looked gradually calm and finally her eyes became totally peaceful.

Those who didn't see this might really think Madam of Duke Xing had always been calm during the whole process.

Qin Wanru saw that ephemeral scene, very clearly. She also found another person also went blank shortly like Madam of Duke Xing and the person also looked calm again.

It was Qin Huaiyong!

It seemed that most people in Flower Hall all had their own plans!

Rui'an Great Elder Princess took these two seals.

"Great Elder Princess, Second Miss Qin has the real seal as when Infanta was young, she broke the corner of the seal," Nanny Gao answered as she pointed at a corner of the seal Qin Wanru took out.

The small notch was not obvious. If Great Elder Princess had not turned over the seal, nobody would have noticed the notch.

"Where do you get this seal?" Rui'an Great Elder Princess raised her head and glared at Qin Yuru. She snapped as she stuck out the seal Qin Yuru showed before, "This one is a counterfeit!"

Qin Yuru got flustered. She had prepared to become a noble miss in the capital city but she didn't expect that her plan was scuppered because of this seal! "I, I, I don't know! It has been with me for a long time!"

She bit the bullet and denied everything.

"How old are you, First Miss Qin? Is there anybody who can prove that you are not Madam Di's biological daughter? If Madam Di is not your biological mother, then who are your biological parents?" Rui'an Great Elder Princess' eyes looked darker. Thinking that some scheming people even tried to use her daughter's death, she felt heartbroken.

Her daughter had been used before she died! However, these people even didn't let go of her death!

Qi Rongzhi furtively moved towards Qin Wanru.

"I, I don't know! Nobody tells me about these!" Qin Yuru flushed and hurried to defend herself.

Her eyes roved around the room and landed on Qin Huaiyong's face. She burst into tears uncontrollably. "Father! I have never said that mother is not my biological mother and I have never said that I am Infanta Qinghua's daughter! I do have the seal but I really don't know these things!"

She now felt lucky that she had said nothing about her false background before. Thus, she felt even if her plan was scuppered, she would still have nothing to do with this matter. What she didn't expect was that Qin Wanru also had the seal. Had she known Qin Wanru had the seal, she would have planned to snatch away the seal.

"Yuru is my biological daughter!" Seeing everyone stared at him, Qin Huaiyong answered certainly with his eyebrows frowned tightly.
