Chapter 487 A Silence Room, Two People Seizing It

She also had one in her previous life, but it was not for herself, but for Qin Yuru!

In her last life, Qin Yuru became the new favorite of the Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion. Duke Xing’s Mansion left her a yard and let her stay with the Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion from time to time.

When this news came, Madam Di and Qin Yuru were ecstatic. Then the masters of Duke Xing’s Mansion gave all kinds of gifts. Both Old Madam’s and Madam of Duke Xing’s gifts were extremely gorgeous, but this set was given by Shao Yanru.

When the box arrived, Qin Yuru happened to be in a pavilion in Qin’s Mansion. It was raining and the servant girl of Duke Xing’s Mansion carried the box in front of Qin Yuru.

Qin Yuru heard that it had been sent by the First Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion, so she dared not neglect it and let the servant girl pick it up. Unexpectedly, the servant girl dropped the box and the box fell to the ground. The gorgeous clothes inside fell to the ground and were stained with mud. Qin Wanru happened to be in an attic, which was still close to the pavilion where Qin Yuru was, so she saw the scene in front of her.

She was afraid that Qin Yuru would find a way to torture her if Qin Yuru knew that she witnessed what happened, so she hid in a hurry and did not dare to make any sound.

The face of the servant girl from Duke Xing’s Mansion immediately changed. She glared at Qin Yuru and said, “If you don’t like our First Miss’s gift, you can say it directly. Why bother ruining our First Miss’s carefully prepared gift?”

After saying that, the servant girl turned around angrily and was about to leave. Qin Yuru was so scared that she came up to hold the servant girl’s hand and explained, “I was really careless. I didn’t mean to do it.”

“You did not do it on purpose? Now that you’ve messed it up, you’ve ruined all of our First Miss’s goodness to you!” Shao Yanru’s servant girl said bluntly.

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! I did not mean to do this! It’s all this bitch’s fault! I’ll punish her severely!” Qin Yuru explained, sweating profusely. Then, she glared at the servant girl who was still kneeling on the floor, asking for forgiveness.

“First Miss Qin, you can’t say that this matter has nothing to do with you? If you only talk about it with a servant girl, even if you want her life, she is just a servant girl. How can you compare her with our First Miss? You humiliated our First Miss in this way, I will definitely report it to our Old Madam when I go back.”

The servant girl raised her head haughtily.

Hearing that she was going to report it to the Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion, Qin Yuru panicked and said in a hurry, “I will go and apologize to your First Miss with you now. I will definitely explain it to your First Miss.”

Later, Qin Yuru hurriedly followed the servant girl of Duke Xing’s Mansion to Duke Xing’s Mansion. Because she left in a hurry, she did not bring any servant girl with her.

Under such circumstances, Shao Yanru could do whatever she wanted to control Qin Yuru. A show of force was enough to make Qin Yuru listen to her. This should also be one of the most important reasons why Qin Yuru would listen to Shao Yanru in the future.

Shao Yanru was very good at grasping others’ minds. If she told Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion that Qin Yuru had humiliated her, Qin Yuru would be obedient enough. But now, was it her turn?

She really did not care about the box in the corner before, but now she became alert because of Chu Liuxin’s words. What did Shao Yanru want to do? Or did she think that she would be able to threaten her after she made such big news?

If not, did she still have any other tricks later?

After thinking about it, she remembered that there was a box left by Shao Yanru here.

“The clothes have existed for a period of time, but it has not been washed for more than two years. It is new!” She put down the clothes in her hands and her shimmery eyes grew darker and deeper.

“If it has not been there for two years, when did they bring it?” Hearing Shao Wanru’s words, Yujie’s face changed greatly.

They had been in this quiet room for more than two years. If the clothes in this room were confirmed to be only one year old, others would guess that these were Miss’s clothes.

Shao Wanru stood up and went to the corner to pick up the blanket that Yujie threw aside. She looked at it carefully and said, “The blanket has been there for a long time. It looks like it’s been for two or three years!”

The blanket was so big that when it was unfolded, it would cover all the boxes.

“The blanket was left behind by First Miss Shao for two or three years. However, Miss has changed the clothes inside. They used the blanket left behind by First Miss Shao to cover up the luxurious clothes that Miss you have changed into so that the blanket of First Miss Shao could cover it up. Even the nuns who sweep in the monastery would not discover it. They would think that it is an item that First Miss Shao had?”

Yujie took a deep breath and suddenly understood. “Miss, what should we do now?”

The dress was obviously a curse left to Miss. Furthermore, it had been left with her for so long. If others were to discover it, Miss would not be able to defend herself. Even if she could prove it for her Miss, she would not be able to explain it clearly.

The quiet room was borrowed and everything in it was cleaned by the nuns of the Yuhui Nunnery. It must be Shao Yanru’s people in the Yuhui Nunnery who put the clothes in the box.

Shao Wanru put down the blanket in her hand, sat on the chair again, took a sip of the tea at hand, thought for a while and said, “Later, you can go down the mountain to check out the dress in Butterfly Clothing Shop and ask Madame Dong if she has the record of anyone buying the dress with the toggle-and-loop button and embroidery. We don’t know whether the dress was made in Butterfly Clothing Shop. Check the record whether Duke Xing’s Mansion had recently purchased something from Butterfly Clothing Shop. It would be the best if Madame Dong could recognize where the dress material is!”

The toggle-and-loop button and embroidery were from Butterfly Clothing Shop. But she could not guarantee that the material was the same. She guessed that it was most likely not. After all, it was not easy to get such a good material. Even if the clothes were not produced by any tailor shop, the material was excellent. It did not mean that Madame Dong could not think of it even though Shao Wanru did not know it.

In the past three years, the name of Butterfly Clothing Shop had become more and more famous, but no one knew that the owner of Butterfly Clothing Shop was her.

“Okay, I’ll go down the mountain in a minute.” Yujie knew that this matter was not something trivial, so she nodded hurriedly and said.

“Before you go down the mountain, you can tell Puyu Nun that I do not want to see any guests recently and I have to transcribe 100 scriptures for my parents. Only when I read and transcribe them quietly can I be more devout. I won’t meet any guests even if they are from Duke Xing’s Mansion. You can explain that I will come out after copying them.” Shao Wanru looked around and smiled. She said meaningfully, “You should say that I will copy them in the quiet room!”

Yujie blinked and said, “This quiet room belongs to First Miss Shao. What if she insists on coming over?”

“My parents are also her uncles and aunts!” Shao Wanru smiled faintly as her eyes darkened.

She had to choose this quiet room. Whether Shao Yanru intended to deal with her or go back to this quiet room, she would not give it back to her. At least, before she left, she would not give it back to Shao Yanru.

She had ‘borrowed’ Shao Yanru’s quiet room when she first arrived at the Yuhui Nunnery. Since then, she had no intention of returning it to her!

“Okay, Miss, I’ll go down the mountain now. First, I will call Qu Le to come over to serve you!” Yujie was relieved. Miss’s biological parents were the elders of First Miss Shao. Besides, Rui’an Great Elder Princess was also there. First Miss Shao would not dare to force a Miss who devoted herself to her parents’ filial piety to come out of the quiet room.

As for when she would come out, it was up to her Miss.

In fact, Yujie felt very strange. Her Miss seemed to want to occupy First Miss Shao’s quiet room all the time. She had followed her to go up the mountain for such a long time. Everything in this quiet room was very familiar. Except for the beautiful scenery, she really did not think there was anything good inside.

However, she had always admired Shao Wanru. Since her Miss had said so, there was a reason for her to do so.

She retreated outside the courtyard, closed the door and hurried back to let Qu Le come over. Then, she went to find Nun Pu Yu, who was in charge of the reception of pilgrims. She told her that her Miss had to do her duty wholeheartedly and was going to devote herself to writing down one hundred scriptures.

Pu Yu Nun nodded repeatedly and immediately agreed to this requirement. She also said that even if someone from Duke Xing’s Mansion came here, she would help to reject them. After all, this was a filial event and not everyone could do it.

Pu Yu Nun had a good relationship with Mingqiu Nun, so she had a better impression of Shao Wanru.

When Shao Wanru went up to the mountain to cultivate, she had only seen Shao Wanru a few times at Mingqiu Nun’s place. However, she rarely saw Shao Wanru in other places. She admired the looks of the Fifth Miss Shao of Shao’s family and after that she felt respect for her.

She was such an outstanding girl at this age, but still could cultivate quietly in the nunnery. It was really rare for her to be able to observe mourning for her parents for three years.

Others used to cultivate in their own mansions. Although it was eating lightly, it was not like what she ate in the nunnery. She ate so simply every day, which made her seem just like an ordinary nun. How much willpower did she have in order to do it?

The famous First Miss Shao with such a good reputation who used to cultivate on the mountain did not use the food and things in the monastery. She would send her servant girls down the mountain to buy some food from time to time. The others in the monastery did not know about this, but Pu Yu Nun who was in charge of it would definitely know about this.

But all she could do was to pretend not to see it.

None of the Misses of aristocratic families who cultivated in seclusion on the mountain were different. However, Fifth Miss Shao had cultivated in seclusion for the longest time and was well-versed in it. She liked her a lot.

After reporting to Pu Yu Nun, Yujie turned around and went down the mountain with the dress, saying that Rui’an Great Elder Princess told her to go back and report about the situation of her Miss on the mountain.

Rui’an Great Elder Princess was worried about her granddaughter, so she let Yujie and Qu Le go down the mountain from time to time. Everyone in Yu Hui Nunnery knew that.

When she went out, a nun passed by in a hurry. When the nun saw Yujie, she seemed to want to stop and say something. Yujie smiled at her and then waved to leave. It was obvious that she was in a hurry.

Therefore, the nun was no longer in a hurry to go forward and turned to report to Pu Yu Nun.

“Is First Miss Shao coming back?” Pu Yu Nun asked in surprise after she heard the nun’s report.

“First Miss Shao’s intention was that Fifth Miss Shao’s birthday is coming. She wants to celebrate her birthday and stay on the mountain for a period of time. She wants Pu Shan Nun to comment on the paintings she drew in the mansion. She hopes that she can stay on the mountain for a period of time and in her own courtyard!”

The courtyard was hers, so of course, the quiet room was hers!

Initially, it was not a big deal. Shao Wanru had ‘borrowed’ it. However, the problem was that Yujie had said that Shao Wanru had shut herself in her room and did not want anyone to bother her. It was impossible for her to celebrate the so-called birthday. As for the room, she copied scriptures quietly to mourn for her parents. It was not appropriate to drive her out like this.

Pu Yu Nun was also a smart person. After thinking for a while, she asked the nun to report Yujie’s original words to the servant girl sent by Duke Xing’s Mansion in front of the nunnery.

This was the internal affairs of Duke Xing’s Mansion. As a supermundane person, she could not be involved in it. She just needed them to work it out by themselves…
