Medical Princess

Seeing Shao Wanru pulling Zhao Xiran, who was confused, away, Madam Jiang came to her senses. She was so angry that she smashed the porcelain shard in her hand to the ground and almost spat blood. If she had moved faster, she would not have been so passive that the b*tch had escaped again.

"Madam, you moved too slowly just now!" the old maid said coldly.

"I… I didn't expect that this b*tch would react so quickly and take advantage of Zhao Xiran to escape!" Madam Jiang gritted her teeth with hatred. How could she not realize it now? Shao Wanru felt that something was wrong and called Zhao Xiran up before she took action. Shao Wanru's words were extremely gentle and not forceful at all. Even if she did something extreme, Zhao Xiran could be the witness and she could not blame it on Shao Wanru.

"Madam, you haven't thought of too many things, or you wouldn't be here!" the old maid satirized her coldly and glanced at her with a little disdain, not like a servant who served a master at all.

Madam Jiang patted the edge of the bed with great anger and said with hatred, "When she comes next time…"

The old maid interrupted her impolitely and said, "Madam, you're wrong again. When she comes next time, it seems that the Fifth Miss won't be plotted so easily!"

If she came next time, she would never stay alone in the room and be used and plotted by others!

"She will definitely come for her dowry!" Madam Jiang repeated, "she will definitely come, definitely come!"

As long as she came here, she still had a chance. If she was given a chance to be alone with that b*tch Shao Wanru next time, she would take action directly without hesitation and push all the blame to that b*tch. The crime that she forced her aunt to commit suicide was enough to make the b*tch suffer a lot.

At the very least, she would not give her all those things in her hands.

Madam Jiang planned so. She thought that Shao Wanru would inevitably interrogate her again. Old Madam had made it clear that she was now in charge of this matter. She did not believe that Shao Wanru would be willing to give up Infanta Qinghua's dowry.

As long as she came, Madam Jiang would have a chance!

For her, such a scheme was reasonable. But for Shao Wanru, since she had experienced it once, she would not give Madam Jiang the same chance.

"Fifth Miss, was there something that happened just now?" Zhao Xiran looked at Shao Wanru and asked softly.

The two of them were walking back. Thinking of what had happened just now, Zhao Xiran asked her for more. After that, she smiled apologetically and said, "Fifth Miss, don't mind it. I saw that Second Miss Shao was angry just now. Something seems to have happened!"

Shao Wanru shook her head and said helplessly, "Miss Zhao, it's not a secret. Second Aunt poured all the water on Second Sister and smashed the cup on Second Sister's head. Second Sister… was so annoyed and angry that she left!"

Shao Jie'er was a concubine's daughter who lived under the control of Madam Jiang. Now Madam Jiang was in the Yuhui Nunnery to recuperate, but she still beat and scolded Shao Jie'er, even directly beating Shao Jie'er like this.

Along the way, Shao Jie'er had lost her temper, and many people had seen it.

Shao Wanru sneered in her heart. If Madam Jiang committed suicide in her room when Shao Wanru was in her room alone, Shao Jie'er's thing would be a small matter. Compared with Madam Jiang's nearly death, this small matter could be easily forgotten, especially for a fence-sitter like Shao Jie'er. With a little profit, she would immediately betray the truth.

She would even say that Shao Wanru was the person who beat her.

At that time, she would have no way to defend herself.

If it really came to that time, for the sake of her reputation, her grandmother could only compromise again and again and try to solve this matter as much as possible. It was obvious that who would benefit from it because it had little impact on the entire Duke Xing's Mansion.

This was the plot of Old Madam and Madam Jiang. She did not expect that they would plot against her when they were not together. It seemed that she had underestimated Old Madam and Madam Jiang.

"Madam of Duke Xing… has she always been like this?" Zhao Xiran took a deep breath and said in panic. If she really married into Duke Xing's Mansion, she would be Madam Jiang's daughter-in-law. If Madam Jiang was really such a person, it would be very difficult for her to be her daughter-in-law.

"Uh… I don't know. But I was really scared just now, so I asked Miss Zhao to be a witness. I'm afraid that my second aunt will make trouble again. It's hard to explain it!" Shao Wanru said apologetically and explained her unusual behavior that she deliberately called Zhao Xiran over just now.

"It's… it's ok!" Zhao Xiran said softly and shook her head, but she was a little scared. Anyone who saw her future mother-in-law so ferocious would feel a little uncomfortable.

"Miss Zhao, you could go back first. Madam Zhao should be worshipping the Buddha now. I won't bother you to be with me anymore!" Shao Wanru stopped at an intersection and said with a smile.

She was not speaking ill of Madam Jiang in front of Zhao Xiran. Since she and Shao Jie'er came here with the carriage of Zhao's Mansion today, the engagement between the two mansions had basically been settled. How could she be persuaded by her a few words?

It was said that the marriage had been settled early. It had been discussed for a long time, and now it was Old Madam who was in charge of it. It should be decided soon. Moreover, she could not understand and trust this Miss Zhao in front of her for the time being.

"I'm fine. My mother has servants to serve her. It's okay to walk with Fifth Miss!" Zhao Xiran said.

"Miss Zhao, I'm afraid that I have to go back. Second Sister was smashed like this and her clothes were wet. She should be waiting for me in the carriage at this time. I have to go back quickly." Shao Wanru said apologetically.

"Are you leaving now?" Zhao Xiran asked.

"Yes, we will go down the mountain now. I don't know how Second Sister was injured, and we really can't wait any longer." Shao Wanru sighed helplessly.

"You came up the mountain with us. If you leave like this, how can my mother and I explain it to Old Madam of your mansion!"

Zhao Xiran hesitated for a moment.

"How about I go down the mountain with you? I can't let you two go down alone."

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Zhao, but it's really okay. I've been here several times before, so I'm familiar with this road. I have to find a doctor to treat my Second Sister later. It's not very convenient!" Shao Wanru shook her head and refused Zhao Xiran.

It was reasonable, and Zhao Xiran could not say no for a while. She was not sure about Shao Jie'er's injure. She could only agree with Shao Wanru, "In this case, be careful when you go down the mountain."

"Okay, I see!" Shao Wanru nodded and turned back to leave with Yujie.

Zhao Xiran watched Shao Wanru leave with a smile, and then her face slowly darkened. Was Madam of Duke Xing really such a person? Her heart sank…

In the carriage, Shao Jie'er's face was full of anger. The tea leaves and foam had been cleaned up, but her clothes were still wet. She didn't come up the mountain for a banquet, so it was impossible to prepare another set of clothes. She had been seen by a lot of people along the way. Fortunately, most of them were women, otherwise, her reputation would be ruined.

She pressed her forehead, but when she saw that Shao Wanru came in without any injures, she couldn't help sneering and saying, "Madam is very kind to Fifth Sister. She let Fifth Sister come back just like this!"

"Madam treats you better. You are Second Madam's daughter!" Shao Wanru said casually and then sat down in the carriage.

It was really ironic to say that at this time. Shao Jie'er raised her eyes and her eyes became sharp. "Fifth Sister, what do you mean by saying that?"

"Nothing. I just feel a little emotional. Even if Second Madam comes to the Yuhui Nunnery, she doesn't know how to restrain her temper. How can she handle the things in the future?" Speaking of this, Shao Wanru looked up at Shao Jie'er. Although Shao Jie'er's forehead was covered with a handkerchief, the red and swollen parts could still be seen clearly. "Second Sister, don't be angry. After all, Second Madam is the legal wife. If Second Sister's mother is also the legal wife, Second Sister can also be favored like Big Sister."

Her words were casual, but Yujie's heart beat faster when she heard them.

Shao Wanru didn't seem to see Yujie suddenly pursing her lips tightly and continued to say casually, "Third Aunt is powerless now even if she wants to. She is in poor health. If there is someone else to share her burden with, it will be good. In fact, an elder should have been enough to deal with the matter today, but she asked us to do this. There is no one to be used in the mansion!"

There was indeed no one to be used in the inner courtyard of Duke Xing's Mansion now. The Madam of the second branch, Madam Jiang, had always been in charge of the inner courtyard. The other concubines were suffering under her control so they did not dare to have any other thoughts. As for the third branch, there was no one to be used, too.

"Fifth Sister, do you think Third Aunt needs any help?" Shao Jie'er suddenly looked better and even asked Shao Wanru with a smile on her face.

"She must need. You know Third Aunt's health condition, and Third Sister is in such a situation now. If someone can help her, she will definitely be willing to accept. Second Sister, if you are willing to give the marriage to the Third Sister, I think Third Aunt will be very grateful to you!"

Shao Wanru squinted at Shao Jie'er with a faint smile on her face.

The meaning of her words made Shao Jie'er's heartbeat faster involuntarily, and her eyes were full of excitement. In fact, she had already thought about this marriage clearly. She had already had a better marriage here, so she should give up this marriage. Third Aunt and the others did not know the reason for this matter. When they saw that she gave up this marriage, they would inevitably thank her. If she put forward some conditions at this time…

Shao Jie'er didn't think in this way at first, but she couldn't stand Shao Wanru's advice. At this time, her heart was boiling. If her mother could really manage the inner courtyard, could she be promoted? She didn't dare to ask her father to treat her mother as the legal wife. All she wanted was that her mother could be a wife like Madam of Duke Xing.

As long as she was like Madam of Duke Xing, she could be regarded as the legitimate daughter. If she married into Prince Cheng's Mansion in the future, it would be easier for her to get a high position. Thinking of this, Shao Jie'er breathed faster and her eyes were emotional. She was no longer as cold and angry as before. In fact, she could still take advantage of the injury this time…
