Chapter 814 Fifth Sister, Help Me!

“Yes, but there is something similar to it and it seems to be very good. That’s what my father suggests. So what do you think, grandma?” Shao Hua’an said.

Madam Dowager pondered again. This time, she did not answer directly. After a long time, she said, “Then let’s check which house bought it first.”

she meant that she still wanted the original one.

“Okay, I’ll tell my father now!” Shao Hua’an stood up and said with a smile.

“Go!” Old Madam said.

Shao Hua’an bowed to Old Madam, nodded to Shao Wanru, and then turned to leave.

Shao Wanru’s eyes fell on him. This man seemed to be really decent and kind. If it weren’t for Shao Yanru’s example, she might really believe it. Her watery eyes involuntarily became deep.

“Your elder brother is also busy now. Some of your mother’s belongs were given to others and were still out there. I will try my best to get them back for you. If I really can’t get them back, there is no other way.” Old Madam sighed and her face darkened.

Shao Wanru lowered her head and said softly, “Thank you, grandma!”

However, she didn’t say that she didn’t want to collect them. She suppose it was her grandma forced Old Madam to do it. At this time, she couldn’t say anything to involve her grandmother into this.

Seeing that Shao Wanru accepted the truth calmly, Old Madam felt a mouthful of blood suppressed in her heart and she really wanted to spit it out. She had not expected that this girl would agree so soon as if it was something she ought to do. Old Madam was angry, but she had to suppress the anger in her heart.

“Of course it’s the best if it can be taken back. I’m afraid that it can’t be taken back in a short time. Your second aunt… lost some of them before. I’m afraid that it can’t be found even if we try to find it. I want to send someone to ask your second aunt about it, but…” Old Madam paused here and seemed to be very hesitant.

Shao Wanru thought quickly and stole a glance at Old Madam’s expression. This woman seemed to be in a dilemma and she frowned tightly as if she didn’t know how to deal with it. With such an obvious expression and Old Madam’s words just now, Shao Wanru understood that Old Madam intended to take advantage of her.

She did not say anything. She lowered her head and pinched the handkerchief in her hand, as if she did not understand what Old Madam meant, and waited quietly for Old Madam to finish her words.

There was silence in the room for a while, and Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion felt depressed in her heart. “Sure enough, I didn’t raise her since she was a child. She will never be thoughtful. If she were my eldest granddaughter, she would definitely take the initiative to continue the topic. How could she wait for my answer?”

She coughed again. Since this girl answered, she had to say it.

“I’m old and don’t have the energy to ask your Second Aunt about it. Your Third Aunt is in poor health. Why don’t you choose a sister to go with you and directly ask your Second Aunt where these things are? Only your Second Aunt knows!”

Old Madam said.

Pick another sister?

The only ones who could be chosen were Second Miss Shao Yujie and Fourth Miss Shao Cailing. Thinking about the difference between the two, Shao Wanru knew that Old Madam must have suggested her to choose Second Miss Shao Yujie.

This matter was related to the main branch and the second branch, and it had nothing to do with the third branch. Moreover, now the madam of third branch was injured and sick, so Shao Cailing was unwilling to leave.

At this time, Old Madam asked her to take Shao Jie’er to visit Madam Jiang. She was confused in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face. She raised her cleareyes to look at Old Madam and nodded in agreement. “Grandma is right. I will do as you say!”

Seeing that Shao Wanru was being clever, Old Madam smiled and said, “The Fourth Girl is in a good mood after coming out of the palace and has to take care of the Third Girl and her mother, so she must stay. The Second Girl has nothing to do now, so you can go with her. You two can look out for each other Otherwise, I will be worried.”

Old Madam’s words were very euphemistic and concerned. She did not mention what had happened to Rui’an Great Elder Princess before, as if she really did not care about it.

“Will it disturb Second Aunt’s seclusive cultivation if we go to Yuhui Nunnery now?” Shao Wanru asked.

In fact, everyone knew that the Jiang family was being punished instead of cultivating. If something happened to the wife of a rich and powerful family, this wording would be the most direct and dignified.

Shao Wanru had been cultivationg to mourn for her parents, and there were all kinds of rumors that Duke Xing’s Mansion did not like her. That night, the fire startled half of the city. Therefore, everyone thought that she was really mourning for her parents. At the same time, because of the hostility of Duke Xing’s Mansion, she specially went to the nunnery.

But for Jiang family, it was different. All kinds of rumors before were harmful to her and even related to the palace. Then she was sent to the Yuhui Nunnery to cultivate in seclusion and to recuperate.

The wife of the master of the house went to cultivate in seclusion and recuperated in such a situation. Who didn’t know that Madam Jiang was actually exiled?

“No, your Second Aunt is actually… I won’t hide it from you. She deserves it now. If it weren’t for your Big Sister and Big Brother, her punishment would have been much worse!” Old Madam said, “You can go up the mountain and ask her. If she goes against you maliciously, you don’t have to pay attention to her. I will definitely make her pay for her viciousness!”

Old Madam became increasingly kind and expressed her thoughts sincerely, and said that she would support Shao Wanru.

Looking at Old Madam being like this, Shao Wanru silently lifted the corners of her mouth and then covered the sarcasm in her eyes. Old Madam was really a “merciful” Old Madam. But the other Old Madam– Old Madam Qin, her kindness to Shao Wanru was sincere instead of this Old Madam’s hypocritical act.

“Thank you, grandma. Can Second Sister and I go tomorrow?” Shao Wanru asked gently.

“In fact, it’s better to do it as soon as possible, but you’ve just returned to the mansion, so you have to rest first.” Old Madam nodded and then said, “It’s up to you. If you feel that you can go there, inform me. I’ll ask someone to prepare carriages and manpower for you!”

“There will be other people?” Shao Wanru looked up and asked in surprise.

“Of course I have to prepare a few people for you. They are all my people. Your second aunt will not talk nonsense when she sees them!” Old Madam said.

That was to say, Old Madam will send someone to follow her. What did she mean? Does she really want Shao Wanru to go up the mountain to ask Madam Jiang for her mother’s dowry?”

If this was the reason, why didn’t Old Madam just send Nanny Yu up the mountain? Wasn’t it better than her making such a big fuss to ask her to go up the mountain to ask for items from Madam Jiang? What would others think of her?

She was going to marry Prince Chen and would soon be his concubine. Did Old Madam want others to think that Prince Chen’s newly married concubine would not even make it easy for her aunt, who was being punished up in the mountain?

Most of the people could only see what was on the surface How many of them could tell if it was true or false?

Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion made a good move. If she succeeded, others would blame Shao Wanru for bothering her aunt, who was cultivating up in the mountain, for her dowry. If something else happened, it would be really shameful.

But now her reputation was also the reputation of Duke Xing’s Mansion. How could Old Madam keep Shao Wanru’s reputation while making her grandma compromise? That was the key.

And what was the key to this key?

Thinking carefully about the key point of this matter, Shao Wanru walked forward while pondering all the way. Unexpectedly, she met Shao Jie’er on the way. The two of them looked at each other.

“Fifth Sister!” Shao Jie’er did not look well. After seeing Shao Wanru, she was stunned for a moment and said in a low voice.

“Second Sister!” Shao Wanru nodded casually and continued to walk forward.

When they were about to miss each other, Shao Jie’er suddenly said, “Fifth Sister, please wait!”

Shao Wanru turned her head and looked at Shao Jie’er in surprise. Seeing that this girl seemed to be begging, Shao Wanru’s long eyelashes fluttered twice. She stood still, raised her eyebrows, and said in confusion, “Second Sister?”

“Fifth Sister, can I talk to you?” Shao Jie’er said in a low voice.

“Second Sister, what’s the matter? Let’s talk about it here.” Shao Wanru looked around and found no one else.

“Fifth Sister, it won’t take long. Don’t stay here. Can we talk behind the rockery?” Shao Jie’er also looked up and reached out to point at a rockery beside.

The rockery was on the side of the road. On one side, there was an empty courtyard, and on the other side, it faced the road. No one would see them when they turned to the back of the rockery. However, she had nothing to say to Shao Jie’er and didn’t feel that they were so close.

“Second Sister, do you want to say something or not? We can talk about it here. We don’t have to hide. We are sisters in Duke Xing’s Mansion. No one will say anything about it!”

Shao Wanru shook her head and refused with a smile.

“Fifth Sister, I… I really have something to tell you!” Seeing that Shao Wanru would not do it, Shao Jie’er suddenly pinched her handkerchief and cried.

This scene surprised Shao Wanru too much. She really didn’t know when she became so close to Shao Jie’er that they had to hide behind a rockery and whisper under each other’s ears.

Frowning, she pointed at the rockery and said, “Second Sister, since you insist, let’s go there!”

After that, she turned around and walked to the rockery, followed by Shao Jie’er. When they turned to a corner of the rockery together, Shao Wanru looked up at the attic diagonally to the right. It was also a little far from here, but one could see them clearly in the balcony. If someone was in it, it would be a coincidence.

In the attic, the curtains were half-rolled, and the gauze was on the ground. No one could be seen from the girls’ perspective.

“Second Sister, what’s so urgent that we have to take about it here!” Shao Wanru turned to look at Shao Jie’er and asked slowly, waiting for Shao Jie’er to give her an explanation. Her clam eyes fell on Shao Jie’er coldly, and her deep eyes seemed to be able to see through all of Shao Jie’er’s thoughts.

Shao Jie’er panicked, hurriedly reached out her handkerchief to wipe her tears, and then knelt down in front of Shao Wanru’s surprised eyes and cried, “Fifth Sister, please help me!”
