Chapter 1234 Falling Out with Each Other

Shao Wanru looked at Shao Jing fearlessly and said without dodging his eyes, “Second Uncle, why are you afraid of me talking about it? Could it be that what Second Aunt said at the gate by then is true?”

“Even… even if you’re doing this for your own, you should take Hao’er into consideration.” Shao Jing gritted his teeth in anger.

“Don’t worry, Second Uncle. I agree with everything my sister said.” Shao Yuanhao stood up and stood beside Shao Wanru. The young boy was not short anymore. Standing beside Shao Wanru, although his face was childish, he looked fearless. He was no longer the child who was only interested in playing.

“If you can find out the cause of my father’s and mother’s death, I will thank you, Second Uncle. As for this woman, since she has something to do with my mother, please allow me to deal with her,” Shao Yuanhao said coldly.

“You… How dare you!” Shao Jing was so angry that he felt blood in his throat. Shao Wanru could contradict him. After all, she was Princess Chen, so he, as Marquis Xing who was powerless, couldn’t compare with her. His seniority was the only thing he had that was superior to hers. “Now even Shao Yuanhao intervened. Do they really think I’m a pushover?”

“Second Uncle, if I am being impudent, I should apologize. But don’t blame me for being disrespectful to you if you’re really related to the death of my parents.”

Shao Yuanhao stood proudly in front of Shao Jing, took two steps forward, and protected Shao Wanru behind him.

Looking at the young boy in front of her, Shao Wanru tried hard to suppress the bitterness in her heart with red eyes. In this life, not only her grandma but also her biological younger brother was protecting her subconsciously. But in her previous life, they were all ruined by Marquis Xing’s Mansion.

The bitterness in her eyes turned into a touch of fierceness, which was deeply hidden. Shao Wanru looked at Madam Wen beside her and said coldly, “Madam Wen, do you know what’s going on now?”

“I…” Madam Wen also regretted it at this time. This matter was about to be out of control. How could she get herself involved in it back then?

In fact, this matter was already very clear. E’niang was not the daughter of the imperial censor at all. She just used to be a servant girl of Infanta Qinghua. No one knew when she hooked up with Shao Jing. Was this exposed now? Moreover, it was not a simple matter. If it was just a matter of a servant girl, it would not be a big deal. Even if her reputation was ruined, it was not a big deal. But now it was related to the death of Infanta Qinghua and the former heir of the mansion, which was a big deal.

Not to mention Madam Wen, even Prime Minister Wen couldn’t bear the consequences of this matter. Rui’an Great Elder Princess was not easy to deal with, and Princess Chen was famous for being difficult to deal with because she had Prince Chen’s protection.

“What do you think, Madam Wen?” Shao Wanru continued asking.

Madam Wen sighed and said helplessly, “It’s your mansion’s own business. I just thought that E’niang saved my life, so I believed what she said. Since what she said is not true, of course, I have nothing to say.”

“Madam…” E’niang got very anxious. She knew that no one would believe her in the current situation. She turned to Shao Wanru and said sadly, “Your Highness, it’s obvious that I pretended to be the daughter of the imperial censor because of Rui’an Great Elder Princess. You also know that. Why do you talk like this now?”

Her words made everyone’s face change.

“My maternal grandma has always had a bad attitude toward Marquis Xing’s Mansion. In the past, she quarreled with my paternal grandma several times. Why should she treat you so well and advise you to pretend to be the daughter of an imperial censor?” Shao Wanru said with sarcasm in her eyes, “Are you going to say that it was my grandma who asked you to be with Second Uncle?”

E’niang was dumbfounded by her words. She stammered and said with sweat on her forehead, “Your Highness, I… I used to be the servant girl of Her Highness Infanta Qinghua!”

“Yes, I knew it just now. So what? You used to be my mother’s servant girl. After she died, you hooked up with Second Uncle. I refuse to believe that there’s nothing fishy about it. Guards!” Shao Wanru said harshly.

Two guards of Prince Chen’s Mansion appeared at the door. Shao Wanru said, “Take her away!”

The two guards stepped forward and were about to drag E’niang away. Shao Jing was so angry that his face turned livid. “Who dares to hurt her?”

“Second Uncle, what if I hurt her? If I really wronged you, Hao’er and I will definitely plead guilty. But if… please forgive my brother and me for doing this for our parents.”

Shao Wanru looked at Shao Jing coldly and remained unmoved.

The two guards grabbed E’niang by the arm and pulled her down. Seeing that the situation was not good, she struggled desperately and shouted for help, “Your Grace, Your Grace, save me!”

At present, the only one who could save her was Shao Jing.

Shao Jing was angry and anxious. He shouted, “Stop them! I want to see who can take her out of Marquis Xing’s Mansion today.”

“Second Uncle, do you have to go against me and hide the real cause of my father’s and mother’s death?” Shao Wanru said slowly with coldness in her eyes. At this moment, Shao Jing actually saw a trace of coldness and bloodthirstiness in his weak niece’s eyes. She appeared weak and slender as a noble lady, but she had such strong murderous intent.

Shao Jing couldn’t help stepping back, only feeling his heart beating wildly. But at this time, he couldn’t back down. “Even if this woman lied to you and me, Your Highness, you can’t take her away directly. You should interrogate her and get to the bottom of the matter!”

He admitted that E’niang was not the daughter of the imperial censor.

“Your Grace…” E’niang exclaimed and struggled in a panic. Suddenly, she pushed away the two guards and rushed to Shao Jing. “Your Grace, save me! Save me!”

Shao Jing winked at her and glared at her fiercely.

E’niang immediately understood. She turned in another direction in front of Shao Jing and rushed to Madam Wen, crying, “Madam Wen, save me. I… I don’t know anything. I didn’t hurt Their Highnesses. Please save me, Madam Wen.”

Looking at E’niang falling in front of her, Madam Wen took a step back with a gloomy face.

“Aunt, save her. She also saved your life!” Gu Xishu whispered in her ear.

Madam Wen was in a dilemma. She glared at Gu Xishu and had to plead for mercy. After all, E’niang had saved her life. “Your Highness…”

“Catch her. This woman knows martial arts!” Shao Wanru suddenly shouted and stepped back repeatedly. Shao Yuanhao guarded her and looked at E’niang warily.

“My Lady, she knows martial arts. I saw it. She was so strong that the two guards couldn’t pull her over just now. She even kicked them a few times, and they let go of her.” Yujie also stood in front of Shao Wanru and shouted anxiously, “She’s skilled at martial arts. If someone gets tripped by her, they will probably fall to their deaths.”

Madam Wen’s face turned livid. After a pause, she pushed Gu Xishu away and turned to walk out.

Since Madam Wen fell at that time, she had been recalling how she fell. Gu Xishu didn’t get close to her, and no one else was close enough to her that they could trip her. E’niang was the same. At that time, there seemed to be a step between them, which seemed to be showing that Madam Wen had fallen on her own.

After returning to the mansion, Madam Wen also told Wen Xichi about it. Wen Xichi said that there was another possibility that someone who practiced martial arts had tripped her nearby or thrown a stone at her acupoint on her leg, which was why she fell. Of course, the premise was that that person was close to her, otherwise, they would be discovered.

There were only women around her. Madam Wen didn’t think that anyone could practice martial arts, so she left it unsettled. Now she found that E’niang knew martial arts, and she knew what had happened.

“No wonder she brought ginseng with her and could save me. It was obviously a trap, a trap set for me.

“This woman is a liar, a fake. She wants someone to introduce her to the madams of aristocratic families, so she targeted me. It seems that my niece is not completely unaware of this. When everyone was surprised just now, Gu Xishu did not look very surprised.”

Originally, Madam Wen thought that Gu Xishu could keep her cool, but now she found that she was not calm at all. It was obvious that Gu Xishu was also involved in it. Otherwise, it would not be so coincidental for Madam Wen to meet E’niang. It was Gu Xishu who led her to that place, where she almost died from her fall. Thinking that her beloved niece had plotted against her and almost got her killed, Madam Wen wanted to slap Gu Xishu right in the face badly on the spot.

“I treat her like a treasure, but this bitch girl dared to plot against me.”

Madam Wen was so angry that her legs went weak and she left Marquis Xing’s Mansion angrily. Gu Xishu was stunned for a moment and realized that something was wrong, so she hurriedly chased after her.

Seeing that Madam Wen understood and turned to leave, Shao Wanru said harshly, “Take her away!”

Two more guards came out of the door, and the four guards came over together. E’niang had been instructed by Shao Jing to pounce on Madam Wen, but she didn’t expect that Madam Wen would leave without hesitation. She could only turn to Shao Jing and escape in his direction.

Shao Jing took two steps forward to stand in front of E’niang and said angrily, “Your Highness, this is Marquis Xing’s Mansion, not your territory!”

“I’m sorry that I have to do this, Second Uncle!” Shao Wanru said coldly.

The guards came over and tried to pull E’niang away.

Shao Jing was furious and fought with those guards. His martial arts skills were not bad, and he was not as gentle as he used to be. After all, he was Marquis Xing, and the guards of Prince Chen’s Mansion did not dare to really hurt him. Two guards of Marquis Xing’s Mansion came out from nowhere and fought with those four guards.

“What’s going on? Are they fighting?” A gentle and somewhat delighted voice suddenly came from the door, which made the tense atmosphere stiff for a while.

It was unknown when Chu Liuchen appeared at the door. On his gorgeous black and white royal robe, there was a golden python with four claws and sharp teeth. With his hands clasped behind his back, he was dressed in an elegant and handsome manner, which was completely different from the atmosphere in the hall. He looked up with his handsome eyes, which seemed to be condensed with a gentle and noble aura. Even if he just stood there, the momentum he carried shocked Shao Jing. He took a step back subconsciously, and his heart beat wildly. “Chu Liuchen is here. Why is Chu Liuchen here?

“Shouldn’t he be in the Palace at this time?”
