Chapter 1189 Good at Spoiling Things
Shao Wanru sat upstairs and watched Infanta Yuan’an’s servant girl get on the carriage and then watch the carriage leave. After that, she picked up the teacup at hand, took a sip, and slightly smiled.
There sounded footsteps. Yujie and Qing’er entered the door one after the other. Seeing Yujie’s messy hair bun, Shao Wanru couldn’t help laughing.
She had been well-prepared as she instructed Qing’er to comb Yujie’s hair.
After tidying herself up, Yujie stepped forward and said aggrievedly, “My Lady, that Miss is really arrogant. She is very rude and ruthless. Her clothes don’t look like the style of the capital. I don’t know where she came from. How could she be so rude?” She reached out to pull her clothes.
It had only been a short while, and her clothes were torn apart.
“Well, just let it go,” Shao Wanru said indifferently. She had asked Yujie to spot and make use of a savage-looking man to make some trouble. She had thought that it was not easy to spot one. Unexpectedly, there was a voluntary one as soon as Yujie went downstairs.
Although Yujie intended to spot and make use of an unreasonable person, it was really an accident to meet that Young Madam. Yujie really thought the pair of lanterns were good, so she wanted to buy them and send them to Shao Wanru. Unexpectedly, when she wanted to pay, she met such a person. Yujie simply quarreled with her at first and didn’t take action until Infanta Yuan’an’s carriage came over to make a scene.
“My Lady, I don’t think that person is easy to compromise. Maybe she will do harm to you!” Yujie said. It seemed that the Young Miss was not a kind person. She kept talking about beating her servants up, which showed that she was not only willful but also bad-tempered.
“It doesn’t matter!” Shao Wanru shook her head indifferently. She really didn’t take it seriously.
“The reversal of the situation in the Princess’s Mansion will inevitably arouse many people’s suspicion. Of course, the most suspicious ones are Zhang Qilan and me. Both Infanta Yuan’an and Princess Yuyan have suffered such a big loss, so there’s no way that they will just let it go.
“I’ll let them think that I’m useless and outwardly strong but inwardly weak. If they think that I entirely rely on Chu Liuchen’s help, it will help me clear my name. My bad mood shows that I also feel aggrieved, but I’m not capable to discover the person who framed me.
“Although Infanta Yuan’an and Princess Yuyan are incompetent, they are good at spoiling things…”
“Infanta Yuan’an is here?” Lying on the bed, Princess Yuyan leaned to one side, gnashed her teeth, and said, “I won’t see her!”
Her bottom was bitten and injured, and her heart was burning with anger.
“You don’t want to see Infanta Yuan’an?” Princess Yutao raised her eyebrows and said lightly, “In that case, I’ll ask someone to drive her out!”
As she spoke, she called a palace maid over and was about to give the order.
“Wait!” Princess Yuyan suddenly stopped her.
Princess Yutao turned around and waited for her explanation.
“I don’t think it’s Infanta Yuan’an who wants to hurt me this time. Maybe it’s…” Princess Yuyan suppressed the anger in her heart and explained.
Princess Yutao stood up and said casually, “I don’t care. It’s a matter between you and Infanta Yuan’an. Since you don’t mind her, let her in!” She looked down at Princess Yuyan and said, “The fact that you’ve married into Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion can’t be changed. You’re a princess of our Xu State. At least, you can be a consort. If that’s all you can be, Father will definitely give you up.”
A princess of a country, even if she was a princess of a small country, could not be humiliated.
However, when it came to this matter, the Xu State couldn’t explain it clearly. They couldn’t make excuses for what Princess Yuyan had done. At this time, neither the envoy nor Princess Yutao could say anything to clear her name, so she could only suppress her anger.
For her, now the key to becoming the wife of Commandery Prince Qing lay in Chu Qing.
“Don’t worry, Big Sister. I’ll make it clear to Chu Qing and get the position of Commandery Princess Qing.” Princess Yuyan was ashamed and annoyed. She felt as if her most unbearable side had been seen by Princess Yutao. In the past, she had always been proud in front of Princess Yutao and looked down on her from the bottom of her heart.
She didn’t expect Princess Yutao to see her in such a mess one day.
“That’s great. As for Infanta Yuan’an, you can do whatever you want!” Princess Yutao didn’t want to stay either. After saying that, she turned around and left.
The palace maids from the Xu State all knew that the two princesses had a bad relationship. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to move the slightest.
When Infanta Yuan’an came in and saw Princess Yuyan lying awkwardly on the bed, she knew how inconvenient it was for her. She took two steps forward and bowed deeply to Princess Yuyan, who was lying on the bed with a gloomy face. “Princess Yuyan, what happened that day really has nothing to do with our mansion. It was impossible for me to deal with you by deliberately getting a dog to bite you. It would do me no good.”
She came straight to the point, showing her sincerity.
Princess Yuyan really wanted to smash something on Infanta Yuan’an’s face, breaking her pretty face and making her head bleed.
Suppressing her anger hard, Princess Yuyan asked coldly, “Infanta Yuan’an, have you really never thought of harming me?”
“I have never thought of targeting you. If you don’t believe me, I can swear.” Infanta Yuan’an pointed to the sky and swore directly.
Seeing that she swore without hesitation, Princess Yuyan’s face softened, but she still asked with a sneer, “If it’s not you, please tell me who would be so capable to arrange for people to work in Ruiping Great Elder Princess’s Mansion and hurt me like this.”
“It’s true that ordinary people can’t be planted into our mansion, but if Prime Minister can make that happen.” Infanta Yuan’an thought a lot on the way here, and she connected the trivial things that she didn’t care about before. “Grandma said that she was granted this mansion when she left the Palace. At that time, Prime Minister Zhang was already in the Ministry of Works. If someone did something to it at that time, of course, it can’t be seen now.”
At first, it was just a suspicion, but now it was very likely that this matter had something to do with Prime Minister Zhang’s Mansion.
Princess Yuyan frowned and asked after thinking for a while, “You mean Prime Minister Zhang’s Mansion?”
“Yes, Prime Minister Zhang’s Mansion!” Infanta Yuan’an nodded affirmatively.
“Someone gets a seat for Infanta Yuan’an!” Princess Yuyan said. Immediately, a palace maid came over and placed a chair in front of the bed. Infanta Yuan’an thanked her with a smile and sat down.
Infanta Yuan’an led the way and asked, “Your Highness, who do you think is the key, and who will benefit in the end?”
“Benefit?” Princess Yuyan frowned even more. “Will Princess Chen or the Miss of Prime Minister Zhang’s Mansion benefit?”
Princess Yuyan had thought about what had happened that day for a long time, but she still couldn’t figure it out. It should be impossible for her and Infanta Yuan’an to benefit from the accident, so it could only be Princess Chen and Miss Zhang. But after thinking about it for a while, she didn’t know which part of what happened had gone wrong. She had seen Zhang Qilan’s people take Shao Wanru away, but why was Shao Wanru fine?
And why did Zhang Qilan ask her people to bring her to Princess Yuyan’s place?
When Princess Yuyan thought of this, her eyes suddenly lit up. “Zhang Qilan is unhurt, and she made it look like we want to frame her and Princess Chen. Shouldn’t Princess Chen thank her?”
“She has always been on good terms with Princess Chen, or it’s that Princess Chen thinks that she and Zhang Qilan has always been on good terms. Shao Wanru looks smart, but I didn’t expect that she is really stupid. Zhang Qilan has been jealous of her for a long time, but she doesn’t know it and regards Zhang Qilan as her sister wholeheartedly.”
Infanta Yuan’an sneered and said, “Zhang Qilan got all the benefits, but we ended up like this. Princess Chen is neither good nor bad. In fact, Prime Minister Zhang’s Mansion also knows that you came to my mansion this time.”
“Why?” Princess Yuyan looked at her with her eyes wide open. “Why is Prime Minister Zhang’s Mansion so clear about the affairs of your mansion?”
“Speaking of this, it was also an accident. One of my elder sisters accidentally revealed it. Originally, she was discussing her marriage with the Childe of Prime Minister Zhang’s Mansion. If I hadn’t investigated it, I wouldn’t have known about it. That day, they mentioned that the princess was coming to the mansion,” Infanta Yuan’an said.
“So that’s how it is! All things connect now!”
Princess Yuyan couldn’t stay calm anymore. She turned over and subconsciously wanted to sit up, but she hit something. She immediately cried out in pain and her face twitched.
Infanta Yuan’an hurried forward to support her and asked in a low voice, “Your Highness, how are you? You’re seriously injured. I brought good medicine here today. You’ll definitely recover soon after taking it. My grandma asked me to come here today to apologize to you. This happened in our mansion. We failed to control it well and got you hurt.”
Since Ruiping Great Elder Princess took the blame for what had happened in her mansion, what about what had happened in the Princess’s Mansion?
Thinking of this, Princess Yuyan calmed down a lot. She used to think that Infanta Yuan’an had gotten her harmed that day, which was indeed despicable, but now she felt that Infanta Yuan’an didn’t intend to make that happen. It was Zhang Qilan to blame. It was Zhang Qilan who had plotted something, and both Princess Yuyan and Infanta Yuan’an got harmed.
“Your Highness, Prince Zhou has already been engaged to a legal wife and a consort, and I will marry into the mansion first, but now… there are three more engaged. Five people will marry into the mansion at the same time, and the chosen ones are all noble ladies. Even I may not be able to suppress them.” Infanta Yuan’an’s eyes were red. She was truly resentful in regard to this matter.
Although her tears were partly because of her acting, what she said was also her real idea. The real hatred for Zhang Qilan made her gnash her teeth when she mentioned this. She wished that Zhang Qilan could also be treated like this.
“Zhang Qilan has bad intentions. Why can she get what she wants? Is it just because she’s Prime Minister Zhang’s daughter? Prince Yue keeps visiting her as if she is the one who is really aggrieved.”
Seeing Infanta Yuan’an’s upset expression, Princess Yuyan knew that Infanta Yuan’an wanted to take revenge. After thinking for a while, she asked tentatively, “What do you want?” She also felt very upset since she could not vent her anger.
The two hit it off well with each other. It was the case at the beginning, and it was still the case now. They had their own thoughts and plans. Even if they joined forces, they had their own plans.
