Chapter 214 Quarrel at the Door of the Madam Dowager

The pieces of cloth that Qin Wanru chose were obviously those she had picked!

“You…” Qin Yuru was so angry that she almost jumped up. She moved, about to step forward, but was held back by Di Yan.

“Why not pick a few more pieces? They are originally given to you by Rui’an Great Elder Princess. It does not matter even if you take them all!” The Madam Dowager said gently.

“I only want these pieces. The rest are all yours!” Qin Wanru said generously.

Yujie came over to put these pieces on the other side of the table, and there were about half of them left on the table.

“Yuru, I’m old, and don’t need such gorgeous cloth. Come and pick several pieces for yourself, and then pick several pieces for your mother. Zhuozhuo, you should also pick several pieces for your mother!” the Madam Dowager said kindly.

Qin Wanru had so many pieces of cloth, while she just had two pieces. Qin Yuru was so angry that her face turned white. She was the legitimate daughter of this mansion as well as father’s biological daughter. What made this mean girl coming from outside dare to take her place and even trample her underfoot?

“Grandma, since these are brought back by second sister, I do not need them!” Qin Yuru lost control and said with sarcasm.

“Yuru, these are thank-you gifts given to your sister by Rui’an Great Elder Princess. It is normal for your second sister to take more. If you consider it not enough, just pick four pieces,” the Madam Dowager said with a headache and only wanted to avoid trouble.

Qin Yuru had made quite a lot of trouble. The Madam Dowager just wanted her to give it a rest and stop making trouble. Di Yan and she had engaged, but seeing her acting like this, Di Yan was somewhat delighted.

Even if he had to marry Qin Yuru in the end, they would probably not be happy together!

Although the Madam Dowager was old, she had experienced a lot of things. She knew that Di Yan was obviously forced to accompany Qin Yuru when he visited the inner court. The Old Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion and Duke Yong must have pushed him hard.

If Qin Yuru did not behave better and aroused Di Yan’s disgust, she would be the one suffering losses!

“Thank you, grandma. I’ll help myself!” Qin Yuru said coldly. Because Qin Wanru had picked the brocade first, she would not like it no matter what the Madam Dowager did and said. She squinted at the Madam Dowager, and then stepped forward to the table and began to pick.

She even pushed the unselected cloth aside in frustration. Qin Wanru stood there, and the pieces of cloth heavily came towards her. If it wasn’t for Yujie swiftly pulling Qin Wanru aside, Qin Wanru would have bumped into the pieces of cloth.

“Second sister, I am really sorry. I heard that I can pick a few more pieces, so I was excited and pushed them a little hard!” Qin Yuru still pretended to be intolerably hypocritical.

Qin Wanru stayed calm and stepped back again, ignoring her.

Qin Yuru felt like punching hard on the cotton and became increasingly frustrated, so she casually picked four pieces of cloth and then picked two pieces for Madam Di. After that, she stepped back.

Looking at the table with two pieces of cloth left, the Madam Dowager sighed silently. Now Shui Ruolan could only take the rest. She decided to give Shui Ruolan the two pieces.

“Come, send these two pieces of cloth to Madam Shui!” the Madam Dowager said.

“Yes!” Nanny Duan answered and went there to pick them up.

“Grandma, I have a lot of cloth. I can give four pieces to my mother. These two pieces of cloth are quite suitable for you!” Qin Wanru reached out to stop Nanny Duan, while going to another table, picking a few pieces of cloth and asking Yujie to bring them over.

“How can you do that? You have only six pieces in total. If you give four pieces to Ruolan, you only have two left!” The Madam Dowager reached out to stop her.

“Grandma, Two pieces is enough for me. I can’t wear many clothes in a short time!” Qin Wanru playfully raised her clothes and said. Because she grew up quickly, the slightly long sleeves suited her well now. The Madam Dowager had said that the clothes did not suit her.

Seeing her sleeves, the Madam Dowager burst into laughter. With her amiable gaze falling on Qin Wanru, she stopped refusing and nodded. “Okay, give your mother four pieces. I’ll make clothes for you sometime later!”

She thought, “Zhuozhuo has grown up quickly during this period, but it will slow down sometime later. I can find some cloth and make clothes for her at that time!”

“Grandma, why does Madam Shui have four pieces of cloth, but my mother has only two pieces?” Qin Yuru was not happy again and raised her eyes.

With the smile on her face fading, the Madam Dowager looked towards the maid behind Qin Yuru. Qin Yuru also had six pieces of cloth among which four were for Qin Yuru and two were for Madam Di. Although Qin Wanru had picked first, now she had as many pieces as Qin Yuru in total.

However, even so, Qin Yuru was still dissatisfied. She frowned. She really didn’t like Qin Yuru as greedy as Madam Di.

“Cousin Yu!” Di Yan reminded Qin Yuru again in a low voice. Even he could see through the situation, Qin Yuru still did that obviously. Even if Qin Wanru did not give any cloth to them, they could do nothing about it. The gifts were originally given by Rui’an Great Elder Princess to express her gratitude. However, Qin Yuru took not a few of them and was still dissatisfied.

“Big sister, these are my cloth, and I want to give them to my mother. What is wrong with this?” Qin Wanru gracefully looked at Qin Yuru and said with the cold gaze.

“Madam Shui is your elder, and my mother is also your elder. Besides, my mother has raised you for so many years. How can you favor one more than another!” Qin Yuru rolled her eyes and said.

This sounded very reasonable. If it weren’t for the situation in the Qin’s Mansion, Qin Wanru’s current practice was indeed a bit wrong. Since Madam Di was the legal wife, she naturally should take more than Shui Ruolan.

But the situation in the Qin’s Mansion was completely different from that in other mansions.

“Big sister, if father thinks that I should give cloth to Madam Di, I will give all of them to her!” Qin Wanru leisurely looked at Qin Yuru and said a word that made Qin Yuru blush with anger.

Qin Yuru not only blushed, but also felt extremely embarrassed.

Madam Di had lost the power over major issues in the Qin’s Mansion because of Qin Wanru, exactly because of what had happened when Madam Di asked Qin Wanru to take care of her during her sickness. Qin Huaiyong ordered Madam Di to leave Qin Wanru and her mother alone, and allowed Qin Wanru to ignore Madam Di.

It actually proved from another aspect that Madam Di had done something wrong!

“Second sister, please be careful of your words. At least you should be grateful for the love and care given by my mother in your childhood!” Qin Yuru said, while grinding her teeth.

“Thank you for your correction, and please tell Madam Di!” Qin Wanru said cleverly.

Qin Yuru was so angry that she even couldn’t talk. Others did not clearly know what Madam Di had done, but Qin Yuru did. Qin Wanru meant that she could not tell Madam Di’s kindness for her, and indicated that she knew everything Madam Di had done to her.

“Grandma, we are leaving!” Gnashing her teeth, Qin Yuru glanced at Qin Wanru with hatred and made her farewells to the Madam Dowager.

“Okay!” The Madam Dowager sighed and agreed.

Even if she wanted to protect Qin Huaiyong’s only child, she could tell that Qin Yuru would not feel grateful from Qin Yuru’s expression. Madam Di had not only done wrong, but also raised her daughter up to this sort of person. The Madam Dowager felt very uncomfortable.

Qin Yuru turned to go out with hatred. She didn’t want to stay here for a moment. As soon as she saw Qin Wanru’s face, she wished she could scratch the delicate face. Di Yan rushed out to chase her after bowing to the Madam Dowager.

At the gate of the inner court, Di Yan caught up with Qin Yuru.

“Cousin Yu, how can you do that? This is the place of the Madam Dowager!” Even though Di Yan had no sense of propriety in pursuing girls, after all, he grew up in an aristocratic family with strict rules. Seeing what Qin Yuru had done, he felt that it was particularly wrong.

“Cousin, what do you mean? Have you fallen in love with the mean girl? Why do you speak for her? She has bullied me and my mother to such an extent!”

Qin Yuru burst into anger and said loudly.

Looking at the frightened maids and old maids around, Di Yan felt very shameful. He looked around and took Qin Yuru to walk out of the courtyard.

“Cousin, did I see through your mind? Both cousin sisters are good! You only saw that the elder cousin sister is very good. Now you also notice that this little girl has grown up, and it is good to fall in love with her, right?” Qin Yuru ferociously threw off Di Yan’s hand and said harshly.

How could she simply get over what had happened before? Ning Caixian had lingered in her mind. She was so suppressed that sometimes she almost lost control and wanted to rush to the Ning’s Mansion to slap Ning Caixian hard.

However, her maternal grandma and her mother both told her that this was no big deal. They said that Di Yan was still young, and it would be fine if she could get over it. Di Yan would thank her for her generosity. What had happened between Ning Caixian and Di Yan had passed, and it was impossible for Duke Yong’s Mansion to unite with the Ning’s Mansion by marriage.

Qin Yuru seemingly promised, but in fact, she had not really let it go.

Irritated by Qin Wanru and held back by Di Yan repeatedly, she directly vented her rage to Di Yan.

“Cousin Yu, what do you mean?” Di Yan was so angry that his face turned white. He didn’t want to mention it at all, and even wished he could no longer mention it.

Duke Yong had told him about the various drawbacks of this incident. Ning Caixian’s reputation had been ruined, and it was impossible for her to become his legal wife. Besides, it was not beneficial for him to marry her. Even though he still had feelings for Ning Caixian, these feelings were not enough to make him drop everything and marry Ning Caixian.

Qin Yuru had not mentioned it before. Di Yan thought that although Qin Yuru did not do well in some aspects, at least she was extremely generous, and was gentle and obedient to him.

But in this moment, Qin Yuru lost control and said this. He found that Qin Yuru kept thinking of it or waited for the right opportunity to get even with him. He instantly felt irritated.

“I…” At the sight of Di Yan’s face, Qin Yuru immediately recollected herself and panicked with her face turning white.

Sneering in his nose, Di Yan turned around and strode away.

“Cousin, cousin!” Qin Yuru was anxious, and hurriedly chased him. Unfortunately, Ding Yan left resolutely with no intention of waiting for her. After running across a few roads, she could only see his back.

Qin Yuru was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She gasped, stamped her feet hard and turned around with hatred. She decided to get even with Qin Wanru sooner or later!

She turned her head, suddenly saw a glittering object on the ground, and immediately stopped her steps…
