Medical Princess

The old maid threatened Shao Caihuan and Shao Cailing with Old Madam. In the past, they would definitely walk away on hearing these words.

But now the old maid's words even made them more suspicious. Their Mother had been injured and still stayed in bed. The doctor said that she had to recuperate for at least half a year. Moreover, the foundation of her body had been hurt, which was likely to make her susceptible to diseases in future. Seeing their Mother suffer, the two sisters burst into anger. Now they had got a rough idea of Qin Yuru's plotting against their Mother.

With the evidence right in front of them, how could they give up?

"What if we insist on having a look at it?" Shao Cailing said insolently.

"It's inappropriate. Both Madam and Old Madam won't like it," the old maid said with a stiff smile.

"Pull her away!" Shao Cailing said with her gaze falling on a carriage behind the old maid. It was not the carriage of Duke Xing's Mansion, so it should be the carriage of Qin's mansion. The old maid happened to stand in front of the carriage.

The two maids behind her came over and pulled the old maid away on each side.

Shao Cailing stepped forward and reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage. After seeing what was inside clearly, she got so furious that her face turned pale.

"What is it?" Shao Caihuan also hurriedly came forward and poked her head to have a look. At the moment, she almost passed out due to rage.

"Let's go to meet Grandmother!" Shao Caihuan said angrily. She turned around and strode away.

Shao Cailing glared at the old maid and said sternly, "Bring her along. Since she kept trying to stop us from having a look, she must be an accomplice!"

No matter whether it was true or not, based on the fact that this old maid dared to stop them just now, Shao Cailing could tell that it had something to do with her.

"Third Miss, Fourth Miss, I've just been assigned here to manage the parking lot. I don't know anything. Just because Madam has told me to take charge of the parking lot and avoid any accidents, I came up to stop you. I know nothing else."

The old maid, who was under control, complained of being wronged loudly. She struggled from side to side and was about to free herself.

Shao Caihuan said in rage, "Two more maids come up to hold her down and take her away!"

Since the old maid was suspicious, they would certainly not let her go.

Another two maids came over, gagged the old maid, put her hands against her back, fixed her by twisting her body and dragged her forward.

Along the way, the old maid was still struggling, but she was seized and couldn't make a sound.

A group of people came to Old Madam's courtyard noisily. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Shao Caihuan and Shao Cailing covered their faces with their handkerchiefs and went to the main room tearfully.

When Madam of Duke Xing came out of the room and saw them, she said with her face darkening, "Caihuan, Cailing, why do you make such a scene? Great Elder Princess is still in Madam Dowager's room!"

Seeing a large group of maids and old maids standing at the door, Shao Caihuan and Shao Cailing did not dare to cry anymore. They immediately sobbed in a low voice with their handkerchiefs in their hands, but ignored Madam of Duke Xing's words.

"Get out of here. We can talk about it later. At this moment, your grandma is not available." Ignored by her two nieces, Madam of Duke Xing looked increasingly displeased and rebuked them.

She had a noble status in Duke Xing's Mansion, and was in charge of the affairs of the inner court. Even Old Madam had delegated powers to her. She had always been the most authoritative person in the inner court of Duke Xing's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, her two nieces gave her a cold shoulder. In addition, she was upset. So she had shown impatience on her face.

As the door curtain of the main room was lifted, Rui'an Great Elder Princess walked out with her head high, followed by Old Madam, who was seeing her off. Seeing Shao Caihuan and Shao Cailing wiping their tears in the courtyard, both of them were stunned.

"Grandma, I beg you to uphold justice for my Mother. My mother was trapped by someone." Seeing Old Madam come out, Shao Cailing, who was quick-witted, immediately pounced on her.

She was the youngest in the mansion. Although she was not as favored as her Big Sister, she still found more favor with Old Madam than other sisters. She dared to do something that others didn't dare to do.

At this moment, she pounced on Madam Dowager, while crying loudly.

Old Madam was sullen. She had been at a disadvantageous position when discussing with Rui'an Great Elder Princess a moment ago, so she was furious at the moment. Seeing this little granddaughter whom she usually liked, she was impatient and felt disgraced in front of Rui'an Great Elder Princess.

"Why do you make such a scene? Isn't your mother lying in bed?"

It sounded like their mother was fine and just lying in bed for a rest.

"Stop it, Caihuan, Cailing. Your grandma is tired and listless now. You may go back now!" Madam of Duke Xing said with a gentle face, came over and sighed and reached out to pull Shao Cailing.

"Second aunt, are you the one who trapped my mother?" Shao Cailing leaned back and opened her eyes wide, while saying with tears in her eyes.

Rui'an Great Elder Princess was going to leave, but she stopped at this moment and stood aside to watch them.

"Stop talking nonsense. Have I been too kind to you in the past so that you lack due regard for priority in seniority now?" Madam Dowager burst into anger and shouted harshly.

"Grandma, someone intended to hurt my Mother. It's a premeditated accident that the carriage of the First Miss of Qin's mansion bumped into my Mother's carriage. She did that on purpose and claimed that she saved my mother. But in fact, she intended to do that in order to make you admit her identity." Seeing her sister rebuked, Shao Caihuan hurriedly came over and said tearfully.

"Grandma, someone intended to hurt my mother. Please save my mother!" Shao Cailing was young, so she immediately burst into tears pitifully on hearing her sister cry.

"Grandma, someone intended to hurt my mother!" Shao Caihuan also cried.

Both of them cried, distressing Madam Dowager.

Madam of Duke Xing's face darkened in a place where no one noticed, and her hands hidden in her sleeves trembled slightly. The carriage, Qin Yuru's carriage!

In fact, she had thought that there might be something wrong with the carriage. However, things happened one after another at this time, so she didn't have enough mental and physical strength to check it out, and even Nanny Sheng did not have time to go to have a look.

She had mentioned it before and Nanny Sheng said that she would send someone to have a look. Now it seemed that not only there was something wrong with Qin Yuru's carriage, but also it had been discovered by the third branch.

The thing became a little tricky.

"Second aunt, my Mother wanted to go out before. She was not supposed to get in that carriage. However, you said that the carriage was good, and there was something wrong with the shafts of the carriage my Mother was supposed to get in. So my mother got in the carriage you mentioned. Unexpectedly, after the carriage walked to the street, the coachman deliberately made the carriage fetch a compass and claimed that they were taking a shortcut. But in fact, it was not close to my mother's destination. The coachman obviously did that on purpose."

Shao Cailing said angrily.

Third Madam had told her two daughters about what had happened before she went out. She didn't feel anything abnormal at that time, but she realized a lot of doubtful points when thinking back.

In particular, it was under the circumstances where Qin Yuru had been prepared.

"How could there be anything wrong with the coachman? Maybe he didn't know the way. It hasn't been long since this coachman served me." Madam of Duke Xing was anxious, but she didn't dare to show it. She smiled and dragged Shao Cailing. "Keep cool. Great Elder Princess is still here and watching us. Don't embarrass us in front of Great Elder Princess."

"I don't consider it embarrassing, but I realize that it's weird that the First Miss of Qin's mansion bumped into the Third Madam of your mansion at that time. Besides, I heard that the First Miss of Qin's mansion saved the Third Madam of your mansion, didn't she?" Rui'an Great Elder Princess didn't intend to leave. She even showed some surprise on her face at this moment, as if she was really curious about it!

"She didn't save our Mother at all. After her carriage bumped into our mother's carriage, she just attended to her own safety. I don't know who spread the news that she saved our mother. She obviously meant to bump into our mother and thus to enter our Duke Xing's Mansion and pretend to be grandma's granddaughter. There is evidence in the carriage." Shao Caihuan wiped her tears and said angrily.

As soon as Shao Caihuan returned to the mansion, she heard that Qin Yuru's carriage bumped into her mother's carriage and Qin Yuru saved her mother. She had a good impression of Qin Yuru at once. Unexpectedly, it was nonsense, and Qin Yuru obviously did that on purpose.

Qin Yuru was a member of Ningyuan Army General's Mansion, so it was impossible for her to arrange this. If she really did it on purpose, she must have an accomplice in Duke Xing's Mansion cooperating with her in secret.

Moreover, this person was quite influential in Duke Xing's Mansion.

Madam of Duke Xing was the first person Shao Caihuan and Shao Cailing thought of. After all, when their mother was about to go out, she changed the carriage in Madam of Duke Xing's suggestion. After that, she changed the coachman, and the coachman took a detour. These were both related to the changed carriage.

If there was anyone in the mansion who had the guts and the ability to plot against their mother, they didn't expect anyone else except for Madam of Duke Xing.

Nevertheless, they didn't dare to speak bluntly, and could only doubt the coachman.

"Caihuan, Cailing, stop crying. Let's talk about it when your grandma is available. It's not the time to indulge in emotions now." Madam of Duke Xing said gently, while instructing some servants to help Shao Caihuan and Shao Cailing up, behaving like an elder comforting her children.

In the past, she could coax the two sisters to stop crying by saying that, but now she failed. At the thought of her mother lying in bed weakly, Shao Cailing pushed away the maid, who came to help her up, and cried loudly, "Grandma, Third Sister and I went to check Qin Yuru's carriage just now, but this old maid tried every effort to stop us. She must be afraid of being found out. Grandma, you must uphold justice for my mother. She's seriously injured, and her arms probably..."

"Grandma, you must uphold justice for our Mother!" Shao Caihuan continued saying, while wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

Hearing their words, everyone looked towards the old maid who was pushed over. The maids of the third branch pushed the old maid hard to Madam Dowager.

Madam Dowager felt a sharp pain in head and a "buzz" all over her head. She almost couldn't hear their voices, so she pressed her head hard.

Seeing that she seemed to feel uncomfortable, Nanny Yu beside her hurriedly reached out to help her and asked in a low voice, "Madam Dowager?"

"I'm fine. Let them in!" Old Madam struggled to turn around and walk inside. She was afraid that she would pass out if she kept standing.

Nanny Yu cautiously helped her walk in. After she sat down in the chair, Nanny Yu hurriedly instructed a maid to serve tea. After taking a sip of tea to calm herself down, she became clear-minded again.

"Tell me, what happened?" Old Madam asked Shao Caihuan and Shao Cailing who came in behind her.

"Grandma, I got evidence." Seeing Old Madam's pale face, Shao Caihuan also panicked. But as she thought of her Mother's miserable situation, a surge of anger rose in her heart and suppressed her concern for Madam Dowager.

"Tell me!"
