Chapter 581 Partners in Doing Evil Seem to Be a Good Couple!

Her words were extremely reasonable. Although she sounded a little aggressive, at least it seemed to be fair and reasonable to ask the Ministry of Justice to make a judgment.

Those who were watching the fun also thought it a good idea. Seeing that Shao Wanru had only brought a maid, who obviously couldn’t be sent for the officials of the Ministry of Justice, someone enthusiastically sent his/her old maid for the officials of the Ministry of Justice.

Hearing that Shao Wanru was going to ask the officials of the Ministry of Justice to make a judgment, the two old maids couldn’t help looking at Shuqi pleadingly with their face turning pale in fear. Seeing that the two old maids kept looking at her, Shuqi, who also panicked, hurriedly gave them a hard look and then nodded quietly.

She did that to give them a hint that they didn’t need to be scared and she would help them out!

Seeing Shuqi nod and knowing that they didn’t need to worry about it, the two old maids felt relieved and that their legs went weak, and collapsed on the ground.

“Are you the First Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion?” Chu Qing asked after glancing at Shao Yanru and Shao Wanru thoughtfully. He, who had realized something from their conversation, looked at Shao Yanru with burning eyes. It turned out that he had made a mistake. The Miss in front of him was the First Miss Shao, who deserved to be a famous beauty in the capital city.

She was as beautiful as he had heard!

“Yes, and you are?” Shao Yanru bowed sideways and said gently. She asked about his name for the first time, as if she had never met him in private before.

“I’m Chu Qing!” Chu Qing said softly.

“You are Commandery Prince Qing. I’m sorry for having not recognized you!” Shao Yanru bowed deeply again and said.

“Is this the Fifth Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion?” After receiving Shao Yanru’s salute, Chu Qing turned to Shao Wanru and asked with a smile, “I’m sorry for having made some indiscreet remarks and argued with you, Fifth Miss!”

Shao Wanru also bowed sideways, but she behaved so perfunctorily that anyone could tell that she was still angry with Chu Qing for what he had said just now.

“Prince Qing, it’s very kind of you to say so!” Shao Wanru said lightly. Her charming fluid eyes were filled with indifference, which added some unpredictable spirit to her eyes. Even her fresh charm became aloof and cold, but others involuntarily took a few more glances at her.

She was beautiful and charming, but also aloof!

At this moment, those who were watching the fun came to realize that the First Miss Shao turned out to be the first beauty in the capital city, while the other Miss was the Fifth Miss Shao, who was said to be so filial that she volunteered to come up the mountain to observe mourning for her parents as soon as she returned to Duke Xing’s Mansion. But why did they begin to wonder if the First Miss Shao was really the first beauty?

Although both of the two Misses only showed their eyes, the Fifth Miss was obviously better-looking.

Everyone glanced at the two of them, and then they were lost in thought.

“Fifth Miss, have you got hurt?” Chu Qing asked, looking indifferently at Shao Wanru, who had been standing with Yujie’s help and never let go of her hand since she got up.

“Fifth Sister, have you really got hurt? Are you okay?” Shao Yanru seemed to have noticed the unusual situation and hurriedly asked, while walking to the other side of Shao Wanru in an attempt to help her.

However, Shao Wanru gently pushed her and said, “Big Sister, I’m fine. I’ve just sprained my ankle slightly!”

“Can you walk?” Shao Yanru asked with concern, as if she was really a good elder sister, who was sincerely concerned about her younger sister.

“Nothing serious. It’s no big deal. Big Sister, you sprained your ankle before, but you’ve recovered now, right?” Shao Wanru said with a smile, with her gaze falling on Shao Yanru’s foot. Shao Yanru had said that she had sprained her ankle before.

“It… It’s nothing serious. I’ve recovered now!” Reminded by Shao Wanru, Shao Yanru, who had almost forgotten it, hurriedly covered it up and gently moved her foot to show that she was fine.

“That’s great! First Miss, I saw you limp just now, but now you’ve recovered!” Yujie praised with a look of envy.

The spectators focused on the First Miss Shao. On the one hand, it was because she was known as the first beauty. On the other hand, it was because of Yujie’s words. Since the First Miss Shao seemed to have sprained her ankle seriously, how was it possible that she had recovered in such a short time?

When Shao Yanru came out a moment ago, they saw it clearly that she didn’t seem to have sprained her ankle at all!

Shao Yanru bore a grudge, but couldn’t show it on her face. She faked a kind smile, looked at a long chair not far away and said, “Fifth Sister, how about I help you go there for a rest?”

“No, thank you, Big Sister. Let’s wait here. After the officials of the Ministry of Justice come and take them away, I’ll go back. In this situation, I can’t move even if I want to!” Shao Wanru said with a wry smile, suggesting that she was seriously injured.

“Misses, go for a rest. I’ll instruct my manservant watch over them. If you’ve really sprained your ankle, it’s not good to keep standing here!” Chu Qing advised gently.

A few more spectators joined him in persuading her to have a rest.

Feeling it inappropriate to reject their kindness, Shao Wanru walked slowly to the bench on one side with Yujie’s help. Although she walked elegantly, she was still a little stiff and unnatural. It was obvious that she was really injured.

The bench was not far away. Shuqi had gone over there and cleaned the bench with a handkerchief, and then cooperated with Yujie to help Shao Wanru sit down.

Shao Yanru followed them closely. After Shao Wanru sat down, she crouched down as if intending to see Shao Wanru’s wound. But Shao Wanru stopped her and said, “Big Sister, stop. There are many people around us!”

“It’s my fault. I’m too concerned about your injury!” As Shao Yanru said, she got up and stood beside Shao Wanru with concern and tenderness in her eyes.

Seeing the tenderness in her eyes, Chu Qing thought that the First Miss Shao did deserve to be known as the first beauty, and had an idea after blinking his eyes.

No matter whether it was Shao Wanru who wrote the note to ask him to meet here, he could leave it aside for the time being and mention it when it was necessary.

Both of the two Misses of Duke Xing’s Mansion were good. The First Miss had the support of Duke Xing’s Mansion, while the Fifth Miss had the support of Rui’an Great Elder Princess. He needed their support. If he could manage to make them speak for him or have a good relationship with them, it would be of great help to his cause.

After making up his mind, he left his manservant to watch over the two old maids on one side and then walked up to Shao Yanru and Shao Wanru with the intention of leaving a good impression on them.

Seeing Chu Qing come over, Shao Wanru leaned her head on Yujie, who was standing beside her, and closed her eyes as if feeling such great pain that she didn’t feel like talking. In the current situation, it was normal even if she was too weak to talk. On such a cool day, her white and tender forehead had been covered with sweat after she took only a few steps. It could be seen that she was really in great pain.

Seeing Shao Wanru lean her head on Yujie’s shoulder and close her eyes, Chu Qing looked towards Shao Yanru and said, “First Miss, I’ve brought an imperial physician with me. Shall I instruct him to see the Fifth Miss?”

“I don’t dare to trouble you. My Fifth Sister and I have the ointment granted by the imperial palace. It’s nothing serious!” Shao Yanru refused in a soft voice, secretly complaining that Commandery Prince Qing was so unobservant. She didn’t need the help from his imperial physician, because she couldn’t make Shao Wanru use her ointment if his imperial physician came.

“Well, if your sister needs anything, just tell me. I’ll stay in the Yuhui Nunnery for the next few days!” Knowing that it was useless to insist on it, Chu Qing could only express his desire to help them.

“Thank you, Commandery Prince Qing. I heard that you’ve handled your affairs. Why do you still stay in the Yuhui Nunnery?” Shao Yanru didn’t want him to talk about Shao Wanru’s injury, so she changed the topic in a soft voice and asked curiously.

“My mother hasn’t recovered and has to rest for another few days before we go down the mountain,” Chu Qing said vaguely with a smile, reluctant to talk about this, “First Miss, why are you also on the mountain? I heard that only the Fifth Miss Shao was on the mountain before!”

Shao Yanru felt like talking about this, which could highlight her reputation, “At the thought that it was too lonely of my Fifth Sister to observe mourning for her parents alone on the mountain, I told my grandma that I would like to stay with her and observe mourning for my Eldest Aunt and Eldest Uncle.”

“First Miss, you are so nice!” Chu Qing praised.

“I really don’t deserve this. This is what I should do!” Shao Yanru said shyly, “Your Highness, you deserve to be described as a nice person. We got involved in such big trouble, and I have to trouble you to come forward and tell the Ministry of Justice what has happened later!”

Shao Yanru got Chu Qing involved in this with composure, because she really didn’t want to have too deep a connection with Qiu Yu. Qiu Yu also came from an aristocratic family, so their social circles overlapped with each other. Shao Yanru didn’t want to hear any rumors about the close relationship between Qiu Yu and her. As a Miss, who was going to be the empress, she couldn’t bear such rumors.

If she could make Chu Qing come forward and explain the incident, it would be better!

“Of course I would like to help you. It’s no big deal!” Chu Qing, who happened to want to find an opportunity to get close to them, certainly would not refuse. He nodded and said with a smile.

Both of them had their own purposes and Chu Qing wanted to get close to them, so they got immersed in their delightful conversation as they talked and burst into soft laughter from time to time. They had totally ignored Shao Wanru, who was leaning in Yujie’s arms.

One of them was a handsome man, while the other was a Miss, whose eyes were enough to show her beauty. So they made a picture quite pleasing to the eye when standing together. Shao Wanru, Yujie and Shao Yanru’s maid Shuqi, of course, became the background of the picture. No one would notice several of them, who didn’t move at all as if they didn’t exist.

Although the spectators did not come over because they were afraid of their status, they were all looking at the two of them and could easily tell that the two of them, who met each other for the first time, had feelings for each other. The two of them talked and laughed, seeming to have forgotten the injured Fifth Miss.

The Fifth Miss was really pitiful. It was obvious that the First Miss did not care about her, otherwise she couldn’t laugh at this moment.

The maple leaves fell on the two of them, making the picture more aesthetic. The ravishing Miss and the handsome and gentle childe seemed to make a good couple. One of them raised his head slightly, while the other lowered her head slightly and showed a charming smile from time to time. It was such a picture pleasing to the eye.

However, at the sight of this, Qiu Yu only felt a strong sense of jealousy and even felt sharp pain in his eyes. He walked past the manservant, who was explaining the incident to him, walked up to the two of them in a few steps, cupped one hand in the other before his chest and said to Chu Qing, “Greetings, Commandery Prince Qing.”
