Chapter 1244 - 1244 Found Her!

Chapter 1244 Found Her!

“It seems that my mother is still alive!” Shao Wanru looked up at Chu Liuchen with red eyes and blurted out. How could she cover it up?

Originally, she wanted to say it slower and euphemistically. After all, it was just her guess. But when she said it, her voice trembled unconsciously.

“Is this real?

“At this moment, I feel like I’m in a dream. Is this real? In fact, even I don’t know that.”

Chu Liuchen looked serious and asked, “Are you sure?” It was a big deal. Shao Jing only confessed that he killed his elder brother at the Ministry of Justice but did not mention Infanta Qinghua. Everyone thought that Infanta Qinghua was dead.

Shao Wanru grabbed Chu Liuchen by the sleeve and said while trembling all over, “Do you still remember what Doctor Qiu said?” The chill spread from her heart and drenched her.

Chu Liuchen nodded and said with pity in his eyes, “Yes. Shao Yanru faked her death and came out of the Palace.” Seeing her like this, he simply reached out to hold her slender waist tightly and said softly, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Don’t be afraid. I’m here!”

His gentle voice comforted her, who was so agitated that she didn’t know what to do. She took a deep breath and said in an orderly manner, “Doctor Qiu was later found out to have given Shao Jing a dose of Fake Dead Medicine more than a decade ago. After that, I asked Mingqiu Nun and Doctor Qi to try making it according to Doctor Qiu’s formula.”

“The medicine works more effectively with the ginseng of 100 years. I found several at that time, some of which were 80 years old. I sent all of them to Mingqiu Nun and Doctor Qi. At first, they couldn’t make it, but later, they finally did. However, one of the herbs was very difficult to control, and they failed many times.”

Speaking of this, Shao Wanru pursed her lips. Even if she knew the formula, it was difficult to make the medicine, and it was not something that other doctors could make. Some secret techniques of Mingqiu Nun and Doctor Qi were also used in it. Fortunately, the two of them had the same teacher as Mingqiu Nun. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to make it even if they had the formula.

Even so, they still wasted a lot of materials. It was impossible to make the medicine without strong strength. The medicinal materials wasted were extremely precious, and some of them were even more difficult to find than ginseng. It was only because there were the most medicinal materials in Prince Chen’s Mansion that it was possible to make the medicine. Other mansions didn’t have all the materials needed to make the medicine.

All kinds of conditions were harsh, and the medicinal materials were precious and difficult to find. The success rate was not high, which was the biggest difficulty in making this medicine. Mingqiu Nun and Doctor Qi really tried their best to make a little medicine powder not long ago. They found a dog and tried it. The dog stopped breathing as if it were dead, but it didn’t last long. It was dead for only about two hours. Then, it recovered once again.

This proved that what Doctor Qiu had said before was true.

“Why did Shao Jing ask for that medicine for no reason? Did he take it himself?” Shao Wanru asked, biting her lip hard.

Chu Liuchen stretched out his slender fingers and pressed the corner of her mouth, which slid down from her teeth. “If so, Infanta Qinghua may really be alive.”

“I went to Shao Jing’s courtyard today, where there is a pavilion. You have seen it before, haven’t you?”

“Yes, I have!” Chu Liuchen nodded.

Shao Wanru pulled herself together and said, “I saw no one there today, but I could tell that someone had lived there. There were servants. The master was a woman with a dressing table, but I couldn’t see anything else!”

“Someone left?” Chu Liuchen immediately understood the key point.

“Yes, a strong old maid left. This old maid is called Nanny Xiu. She lived in Marquis Xing’s Mansion more than a decade ago. After that, she lived there intermittently for a period. Most of the time, she was not in the mansion. But recently, she has been living in Shao Jing’s courtyard. She ate fine food as the masters did, and she ate a lot. Her meals were delivered by a servant girl. She would also complain to Shao Jing, and Shao Jing has been protecting her!”

In fact, not only these but also the clothes and accessories that E’niang had taken out previously all indicated a fact that Shao Wanru couldn’t believe but desperately wanted to believe.

Shao Wanru said, “Do you think… it’s possible…”

Speaking of this, she couldn’t continue for a while. “It has been two lives… Is it really Mother? Has Mother really been locked up by Shao Jing?”

“It’s very likely.” Chu Liuchen held Shao Wanru’s cold hands and quietly warmed them. “An old maid with a person. Since Shao Jing has kept an eye on them there, he obviously wouldn’t let them stay far away from him. Otherwise, he would be worried. I’ll send someone to investigate and find it out.”

“I know.” Shao Wanru closed her eyes and leaned against him. The heavy burden on her heart was lifted because of his words.

She felt touched and bitter in her heart.

After her rebirth, she had always thought that she was strong and tried her best to make herself stronger. Only in the presence of Chu Liuchen could she feel that she was still soft and warm, and her body could not help relaxing.

Perhaps she was too nervous before. She was wrapped in his broad arms. His breath wrapped around her, making her close her eyes and fall asleep. While she was in a daze, he picked her up. She hugged him back and arched her body toward him, unwilling to leave.

Chu Liuchen carried Shao Wanru to the couch, took off her embroidered shoes, took off her coat, and carefully covered her with the quilt. Then, he put down the gauze curtain, looked at her delicate face on the bed, and felt very soft in his heart.

He turned around and went downstairs. On the second floor, Xiao Xuanzi served him as he sat down behind a large chair. Chu Liuchen ordered in a cold voice, “Go and investigate a strong old maid and ask Qing’er to go with you. She knows what that person is like.”

Xiao Xuanzi nodded and said, “Yes, Your Highness. I’ll do it now!”

He couldn’t afford to delay his master’s and Princess Chen’s affairs.

Chu Liuchen gently tapped on the table with his slender fingers and said, “Wait a minute. Investigate those who are close to Marquis Xing’s Mansion. The ones who have moved there in less than half a year.”

The woman had not lived in the mansion before, so she should have lived outside. No one knew that she had lived outside the mansion. She was quite similar to the mistress. Thinking about it more carefully, Chu Liuchen found that this mistress used to be Infanta Qinghua’s servant girl. If Infanta Qinghua had lived with her at that time, it would have been difficult for them to be found out.

When Shao Jing went to see his mistress, he could check on Infanta Qinghua. Even if someone found out, he could say that he was just going to see his mistress.

It was said that Madam Jiang, the Madam of Marquis Xing, had never been able to find Shao Jing’s mistress. If Shao Jing merely kept a mistress, why did he have to go through so much trouble to bring her in when he wanted to? Why did he have to keep it a secret?

Shao Jing’s mistress had just moved to a new residence. At that time, Infanta Qinghua should have been sent to the pavilion of Marquis Xing’s Mansion. Shao Jing was so cautious that he would rent a place outside.

If Infanta Qinghua was really there, she had been sent out before just because Shao Jing was a little uneasy. It was not a big deal. He probably wanted to get Infanta Qinghua into the mansion after the trouble in his mansion ended. When Chu Liuchen thought of this, many things suddenly became clear to him.

Chu Liuchen was not Shao Wanru, so he was calmer and saw more clearly. In conclusion, Infanta Qinghua was probably still alive.

But he didn’t know why Shao Jing needed her to be alive.

Shao Jing was sentenced to death, and an old maid couldn’t make waves.

In the evening, the news came. The woman wanted was caught.

When Shao Wanru got the news, she immediately followed Chu Liuchen to the front hall. When she entered the front hall and saw a woman sitting in a daze, memories of her childhood immediately came to her mind.

That woman was really her mother. She was truly her biological mother.

The woman looked young, about 30 years old. She was dressed in ordinary clothes, and her eyes were a little dull. At first glance, one could tell that she was mentally ill. She held a pillow in her hand and had never been at ease. She was beautiful. Even in such a situation, her eyes looked soft and beautiful.

Her expression was very gentle. She held the pillow and just looked at it gently, muttering to herself.

Shao Wanru trembled and stepped forward. She heard the woman say, “Zhuozhuo, be a good girl. Don’t be afraid of pain. I’ll hold you, and you will sleep, okay?”

Shao Wanru couldn’t hold back her tears anymore and burst into tears. With a thud, she fell heavily to the ground and put her hands on the knees of Infanta Qinghua. “Mother… Mother… Mother…”

Before she could finish her words, she choked with sobs.

Infanta Qinghua was shocked and stepped back. There was a strong old maid tied up behind her, and she was escorted by two guards. At this time, her face was ashen and she was in a panic.

“Mother, do… do you still know Zhuozhuo? Do… do you know me?” Shao Wanru raised her face full of tears and looked at Infanta Qinghua expectantly.

“You… you… husband, save me!” Infanta Qinghua was frightened. She looked around and saw the old maid. She hurriedly held the pillow and hid behind it, while saying hurriedly, “Save me, husband, save me… I… I don’t know anything. I don’t know. Don’t… don’t kill me. Don’t kill my Zhuozhuo. Don’t take her away!”

The pillow in her hand was held tightly, and she bent down, as if she was protecting the pillow in her arms.

Shao Wanru cried so hard that she couldn’t even speak. Tears streamed down her face and she choked with sobs. “She’s my biological mother!” Even though Infanta Qinghua was crazy, she had always been protecting Shao Wanru. In fact, someone had always doted on Shao Wanru. It was just that she had lost her mother.

“Get up and talk first.” Chu Liuchen reached out to pull Shao Wanru up, took the handkerchief from her hand, and wiped her tears carefully for her. He used to be a gloomy and cold young man, but he was now full of care. Of course, it was only because the person in front of him was Shao Wanru.

“My mother is still alive, my mother is still alive, she… she has not died…” Shao Wanru pulled Chu Liuchen’s sleeve, looking anxious, surprised, and happy. The joy and sadness could not be described in words. Now she could only pull Chu Liuchen and share her joy with him.

“Yes, Infanta Qinghua is still alive. This is good news. Don’t worry, she doesn’t look bad. I heard that she was in low spirits before, and she is still like this now. It’s okay. Don’t panic!” Chu Liuchen knew what she was most afraid of now, so he comforted her softly.

Gradually, Shao Wanru calmed down and finally regained her composure. She rolled her watery eyes and looked at the overly strong old maid.
