Chapter 895 Who Was Proposed?

Shao Wanru took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her delicate cheeks. She looked up with a smile and said, “Sisters will marry a good husband, Grandmother. You don’t have to worry about that.”

“Fifth Sister is right, Grandma. Everything will be better in the future! Our Misses will marry into good families. You can rest assured!”

Zhao Xiran was always good at catching chances to flatter herself. On hearing what Old Madam said, Zhao Xiran hastened to comfort her with a smile. At the sa ti, she asked a servant girl to stand behind Old Madam and gently massaged Old Madam’s back with the wooden hamr. Every step was extrely natural.

A trace of sharpness flashed in Shao Wanru’s eyes when she saw the satisfaction in Old Madam’s. Zhao Xiran was indeed very clever. She had changed Old Madam’s impression on her within just a few days.

Zhao Xiran probably had sothing to do with Old Madam’s friendly attitude towards Shao Wanru. Because Old Madam would never be good to people for no reason.

If Old Madam couldn’t get any benefit, it was in vain no matter how she was flattered.

“They are right, Mother. How could you say that with such a healthy body? Your words scared !” Third Madam said with a smile. The smile on her face was reluctant, but her words were on ti.

At first, the third branch was still in safety after experiencing so many accidents. But now it was in danger because Zhao Xiran gradually took over the managent of dostic affairs. It was obvious that Old Madam wanted to elevate Zhao Xiran.

Third Madam did not dare to query Old Madam. After all, the master of the inner court was Old Madam, so she could choose whover she liked.

“Since I have been old, I only wish that all my grandchildren can support each other so that they will live a good life in the future. That’s all I want!” Old Madam sighed again, massaged her forehead with her hand, and beca sad. “The things about the Second Girl and the Third Girl before...”

At this point, Old Madam sighed again and could not continue. Apparently, sothing sorrowful ca into her mind so she did not know what to say for a mont.

Shao Wanru didn’t answer her but looked at the handkerchief in her hand calmly, as if she didn’t understand Old Madam’s words. Neither did she intend to make them clear nor she was curious about Old Madam’s unfinished words.

She seed to be in a daze.

Old Madam cast a secret glance at Shao Wanru, only to find her sitting there like a block of wood. She was so infuriated that she felt a pain in her chest. “As expected, Shao Wanru is not raised by so she will not be considerate towards ! I have given such a conspicuous hint to her, who, however, doesn’t even ask about it. If it were First Girl, she would definitely stand on my side.”

Of course, Shao Yanru could do nothing for her grandma in the current affairs. She had secretly sent a letter from the Palace to Old Madam... so Old Madam couldn’t trouble her with such a thing.

So Old Madam could only turn to Shao Wanru. However, since Shao Wanru didn’t react to her, Old Madam felt ashad to ask her in person.

Old Madam looked at Zhao Xiran who was standing beside her, and the latter imdiately got the forr’s hint. Zhao Xiran looked at Shao Wanru with a smile and said, “Fifth Sister, our grandmother has a knot in her heart. Would you please help inquire about it and tell us the result of your investigation so that our grandmother can rest assured? She has had no appetite for food and can’t sleep well at night for a long ti because of the load on her mind.”

Shao Wanru slowly raised her head to glance at Old Madam and saw her performance—It seed that Old Madam wanted to stop Zhao Xiran but she failed. Then Shao Wanru said with a slight smile, “Sister Zhao, you’re too polite. How could I be powerful enough to help grandma? Why don’t you ask Second Uncle to help you instead of , a girl who has just married, Grandmother?”

Her tone was both rude and tough.

Zhao Xiran was stunned and blushed with a red face. She didn’t expect that Shao Wanru would treat Old Madam with no respect like that in front of so many people and disagree to help her grandmother.

After all, she had just married into Marquis Xing’s Mansion. She felt awkward in front of so many people when she was retorted by Shao Wanru with an indifferent attitude.

“Fifth Girl, what do you an?” Old Madam was the first to lose her temper. She put down the teacup on the table heavily. “You are also the daughter from Marquis Xing’s Mansion! Well, you are married now, so are you going to abandon your parents’ ho?”

“Grandma, you sound like you want to make a choice between my parents’ ho and my husband’s family, don’t you?” Shao Wanru looked up at her and said calmly. She had been used to Old Madam’s sudden coldness.

Her retortion greatly infuriated Old Madam. “What did she an by saying that to choose between her parents’ ho and her husband’s family? Her husband’s family is the royal family! Did she want to say that I force her to take good care of her parents’ family and ignore her husband’s?”

If Empress Dowager heard it, Marquis Xing’s Mansion would be severely punished by her.

“Fifth Sister, Grandma didn’t an that! She just wants you to pass a ssage for her!” Zhao Xiran hastened to disregard her embarrassnt and make an explanation after she realized the deadlock between Old Madam and Shao Wanru.

“What if I don’t agree?” Shao Wanru said coldly.

No one answered her. Shao Jie’er, who was sitting aside, moved her body. It seed that she wanted to say sothing, but she didn’t dare to do so in the end and lowered her head.

“Fifth Sister, it’s not difficult! You just need to ask a question or ask Prince Chen to pass a ssage to Commandery Prince Qing!” Zhao Xiran had co to her senses and said with a smile, looking more amiable.

Old Madam had planned to teach Shao Wanru a lesson through the chance of her first visit to the mansion. Now it seed that Princess Chen, who was once Fifth Miss Shao, was not afraid of her oppression at all. Zhao Xiran felt that it was better to importune Shao Wanru with family relations at this ti.

After saying that, Zhao Xiran secretly squinted at Old Madam and sneered in her heart. She didn’t know what was going on with Marquis Xing’s Mansion. “Why do they want to plot against Princess Chen instead of flattering her? This Princess Chen can not be set up so easily. Otherwise, how could I fail to do that to her at that ti?

“Instead of promoting the relationship between Shao Wanru and her, Old Madam even wanted to teach her a lesson! No wonder Marquis Xing’s Mansion was degraded. Its people couldn’t see clearly what they should do and what they shouldn’t. How could the mansion flourish?”

“What do you want to say to Commandery Prince Qing?” An idea ca into being in Shao Wanru’s mind and she suddenly understand what they want. But she still asked lightly, with her eyes turned to look at Shao Jie’er who was in the corner of the room.

“We want to know why Commandery Prince Qing doesn’t co to propose. And he once promised that he would give our mansion an explanation for what happened in the Imperial Palace before. But he hasn’t co to our mansion yet. Grandma was so anxious that she once wanted Father to go to talk with him. But we will lose our face as the bride’s parents’ family if we take the initiative in the marital matter. So we want to ask for the help of Prince Chen, who is Commandery Prince Qing’s brother, Then we can deal with it in private!” Zhao Xiran said with a flattering smile.

She sounded polite and honest with telling Shao Wanru the inconvenience of the people from Marquis Xing’s Mansion. It seed that she didn’t hide anything.

Zhao Xiran was indeed Minister Zhao’s eldest legitimate daughter. Her words were so flawless and reasonable.

So if Shao Wanru still didn’t agree, she would look petty in others’ eyes. If Zhao Xiran’s words were coupled with what Old Madam had said in anger just now, they would sound like an assault that Shao Wanru forget her roots. Because the request was just a piece of cake for her with such an identity.

Chu Qing and Chu Liuchen were brothers, so it didn’t take much effort for Chu Liuchen to send a ssage!

But the truth was more complicated than that. Although they were both the descendants of the forr Emperor, the weight of their status was different. Chu Liuchen’s status was far higher than Chu Qing’s. If Chu Liuchen asked Chu Qing, the latter would have to show respect to Chu Liuchen and co to Marquis Xing’s Mansion to propose, despite that he had other thoughts.

Old Madam was scheming, and so was Zhao Xiran!

Of course, compared with Old Madam, Zhao Xiran was much more friendly in attitude.

“Grandma, do you wish that Commandery Prince Qing will marry Second Sister? But I heard that Commandery Prince Qing is engaged, so I’m afraid that he can’t take Second Sister as his legal wife!” Shao Wanru asked lightly after she heard Zhao Xiran’s explanation.

“Don’t worry about that, Fifth Sister. Father and Grandma will talk about it with Commandery Prince Qing. We just want Commandery Prince Qing to take the initiative to co to Marquis Qing’s Mansion!” Zhao Xiran said vaguely, not ntioning whether it was Shao Jie’er or not.

But it indeed sounded like an easy task to ask Chu Qing to co to the mansion.

“I’m afraid I can’t now. I heard from His Highness that Commandery Prince Qing seems to have an official assignnt to deal with. I am afraid that he can’t co to our mansion in the next few days. Anyway, we can’t be rash in marital matters. After Commandery Prince Qing finishes his work, I’ll ask His Highness to go to Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion!” Shao Wanru thought for a mont and said seriously.

...

If Chu Qing went to Xu State, he would probably not co back in one or two months. Old Madam was not in a hurry before, but now she was anxious, which aroused Shao Wanru’s suspicion.

Hearing Shao Wanru’s words, Old Madam couldn’t help shouting, “No!”

“Why, Grandmother? Is it because... is it necessary?” Shao Wanru asked slowly with a confused face.

Old Madam swallowed and suppressed the anger in her heart to make her look kind. Shao Wanru’s interruption made her realize that she was no longer the Fifth Miss of Marquis Xing’s Mansion.

Even she, as Shao Wanru’s elder, had to bow to Shao Wanru.

“Your sister has co of age. I’m afraid sothing bad will happen if we delay her marriage!” Old Madam forced a smile and tried to look amiable.

“What will happen if she waits a little longer? Commandery Prince Qing is concentrating on his work at this ti, so he must have no intention of getting married,” Shao Wanru said calmly. Old Madam’s attitude had no impact on her at all.

Shao Wanru had long been disappointed with Marquis Xing’s Mansion and Old Madam, so she would not have any expectations. She did not care what attitude they showed towards her.

“It is not a big deal. It’s just... Fifth Sister, I don’t take you as an outsider anymore. I will get straight to the point. Another mansion wants to build a martial relationship with us. Its conditions are not bad but not as good as Commandery Prince Qing’s. Grandma needs to make careful consideration. We have to know Commandery Prince Qing’s thoughts before we refuse the other mansion. Otherwise, we might lose both the chances.”

Zhao Xiran imdiately thought of an excuse that was the most appropriate for the current situation and said it out with a smile.

“Another Proposal? Who are they?” Shao Wanru asked in surprise. She didn’t expect such a reason! Was it Shao Caihuan or Shao Jie’er who was asked?

It was really strange for such a man to show up at such a ti...
