Chapter 226 Making Trouble Again, Kneeling at the Mansion’s Gate

“Ran away?” Qin Wanru blinked her watery eyes twice shockingly.

After such an event occurred, first, Madam Di came home to complain tearfully to Qin Huaiyong; then, Qin Yuru rushed to his study and made such a loud noise that some well-informed servants in the mansion knew it at once.

“Miss, this Childe Di usually looks smart, but how did he do such an unduly thing? Or does he treat this Miss Ning so well indeed? But why did he agree to marry the First Miss, also lived in our mansion, and guaranteed he and that Miss Ning had broken up thoroughly?”

Yujie pursed her lips and took a cup of tea to the table in front of Qin Wanru.

Although she was now Qin Wanru’s servant girl, she had been brought up in Jingxin Monastery and dared to fearlessly say what other common servant girls dared not to.

“How come he ran away!” Qin Wanru gave a small smile, took up the teacup in her hand, warmed her hands, and, seemingly referring to something, said, “If he runs away, it means he gives up Duke Yong’s hereditary title, but Di Yan is not that resolute!”

Initially, she thought making trouble was unavoidable, for Qin Yuru wouldn’t let Ning Caixian off. With concrete proof and the fact that Di Yan also got the hairpin Qin Yuru had hidden, this was also an unclear matter. Undoubtedly, they didn’t know that it was Qin Wanru who asked Qing Xue to lose the hairpin deliberately in front of Qin Yuru.

With her disposition, Qin Yuru was bound to stow such an exquisite hairpin.

“If he didn’t run, why did she make trouble? Making such big trouble would also disgrace the man. With stains on his character, does this heir of the duke want to be an official in the future, or does he only wish to spend a playboy’s life with the hereditary title’s salary?” Yujie was confused and asked.

.

“Miss, does the marriage of the heir of the duke and our mansion still exist?” Qing Yue worried about another aspect, not about Qin Yuru, but that Qin Wanru might be affected.

The two servant girls paid attention to different aspects, but one thing was sure: They all agreed that Di Yan was insane. Qin Wanru’s deep-red corners of her mouth were raised slightly, along with a trace of nearly unperceivable ridicule. If truth be told, Ning Caixian had really smart strategies, seducing Di Yan to make such trouble.

It seemed that even if her reputation was ruined, she would also drag Di Yan down.

This was a good strategy, forcing Madam Di and Duke Yong’s Mansion to be more separated. In her previous life, Ning Caixian and Madam Di plotted together against Qian Wanru, but she didn’t think its complexity through. So, in this life, she wanted to see how they would bite each other like dogs.

The messier, the better. With such a mess, the pusher behind the scenes might become anxious!

“Di Yan will return and the marriage will also be settled, but the two parties’ compromises are still unknown!” Qin Wanru raised her head and narrowed her eyes to look at the sunshine outside the window. “He might have been found by now!”

Qin Huaiyong was the commander of the Imperial Guards Team. Although he couldn’t use the team members to look for a person for him, he could ask for help in private and it would be much faster than others.

Military officers could mobilize manpower more easily than civil officials!

“Second Miss, Second Miss, Duke Yong, Countess Yong, and their son have all come!” Nanny Yu scuttled in from outside.

“So quick, my father’s ability is also excellent as expected!”

She rose, walked to the window, saw the tall wall outside the window, and frowned. “All of them went to my grandma’s place?”

Her grandmother was not well. In the past, no one took her so seriously, and Duke Yong and Countess Yong had never gone to see her when they came. At most, they would ask an old maid to send their greetings, but now, all of them went to her place to make trouble.

“Yes, all of them. Just now, our general, Madam, and First Miss also went there!” Nanny Yu answered.

“What about Miss Ning?” Qin Wanru thought and asked.

“She didn’t come. Just now I also asked about that, but I didn’t see her!” Nanny Yu said. For such a thing, Childe Di had been found, so should Miss Ning have, but only Childe Di came. So, Nanny Yu also felt it strange.

“Come on, let’s take a look!” Qin Wanru turned and walked to the outside.

“Miss, for such things, you can’t go!” Nanny Yu was quite anxious, stepping forward to stop her. “As an unmarried Miss, you can’t get involved in such dirty things. Madam Dowager will be angry!”

“I will only go and listen in the back. I am afraid my grandma can’t bear it!” Qin Wanru said, knitting her thin and curved eyebrows slightly. She was sincerely worried about her grandmother and never thought the matter had been taken to her grandmother so soon. So, she was a little dissatisfied.

“Why didn’t father solve the problem himself? Why take it to my grandma?”

“Recently, Madam Dowager has been relatively well, and she should… be fine, right?” Nanny Yu hesitated but said. In fact, Madam Dowager had been a little better, but she was old after all and could not take the burden. The messy situation was difficult to be dealt with, and it was also related to Duke Yong’s Mansion. By then, if something terrible happened, Madam Dowager would not be able to bear it with her poor health.

“Let me go and see. Nanny Yu, go to Madam Shui and tell her not to come, my grandma’s place must be in chaos now. With her poor condition, if she goes now, she will not help my grandma and may meet with trouble. If so, that will be very bad. As for my grandma’s situation, tell her not to worry, I will take care of it secretly.”

Calming herself down, Qin Wanru had made her decision and spoke slowly.

“Miss, anyway, this… is not so good!” Nanny Yu was still hesitant. Although she also thought this idea of her Miss was very good, she was still worried about the very unsuitable situation that Qin Wanru got involved in this scandal.

For this matter, anyone getting involved would not have a good reputation.

“I will be fine. I will only hide in the back to listen. In my grandma’s room, there is a side door, which no one usually goes through and is always locked. Previously, my grandma worried it would be so far for me to enter her yard from the front door, so she specially made a key and gave it to Qing Yue. I can go in from that side, and no one will notice.”

This was not a bad idea. Nanny Yu and the others looked at one another and nodded helplessly. For now, this seemed to be the only way!

So, Nanny Yu went hurriedly to Shui Ruolan’s yard to stop her, while Qin Wanru took Yujie to Madam Dowager’s Xinning Pavilion from the back.

On the way, Qing Yue panted and caught up with her. “Miss, Miss, don’t go to Madam Dowager’s place, they have gone to the mansion’s gate!”

“What happened?” Qin Wanru stopped to wait for Qing Yue to come, asking.

“It’s said that Miss Ning is kneeling at our mansion’s gate to beg our mansion to let her and Childe Di stay together!” Qing Yue panted heavily and said.

“Troubling our mansion?” Qin Wanru raised her eyebrows. This made her think of the same scene in her previous life: Ning Caixian and her younger sister, Ning Xueqing, used this way to trouble the Duke Xing’s Mansion, forcing Duke Xing’s old Madam to approve of her position.

In her previous life, not only Ning Xueqing but also Madam Di, Ning Caixian, and Madam of Duke Xing were involved in the calculation. But in this life, Ning Caixian did it alone. She wanted to see if Ning Caixian could also realize her dream.

“Come, let’s also go to the gate and take a look!” Qin Wanru turned decisively and said.

When Qin Wanru arrived at the gate, she didn’t go out straight away, but stood at the side of the gate, watching the outside through the gate’s crevice.

Outside the mansion, she saw layers of people.

At the gate, a lady with ruffled hair in plain white was kneeling without any decoration from head to foot, which made her look quite wretched. Beside her knelt a servant girl, who supported her. It was Ning Caixian, who, nearly leaning against the servant girl, knelt there.

Since she lowered her head, no one could see her expression clearly, but the pale clothes indicated her current poor situation.

“Miss, Miss, are you all right? Don’t scare me! The heir of the duke went in just now, and you don’t have to kneel here anymore. With the heir of the duke, every problem will be solved!” The servant girl’s tears flooded down, looking like another poor creature. Her tears were still running. It seemed that the Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion that everyone saw was ill-treating this poor lady.

“I am fine… I am waiting for my cousin. He… he was alone… he was alone, how can I bear it!” Ning Caixian’s voice was very low, but several people near her heard her words clearly, then spread them.

Instantly, everyone had a very good impression of the lady, who was ill and weak, but was devoted to her love.

“But the heir of the duke told you to have a good rest, said everything would be fine, and he would give up his engagement with Qin’s Mansion and marry you. If the heir of the duke knows, he will worry about you.” The servant girl wiped her face with her handkerchief and cried in panic, showing she was worried about this First Miss indeed.

“Anyway, I… My cousin and I have wasted the time of the First Miss of Qin’s Mansion… My cousin and I feel sorry… Even if I knelt all the time, I should do that… Now whatever I say just proves I am not sincere enough!” Ning Caixian’s voice was as ill and weak as before, on and off.

Then, these words were spread by those who heard them, and all the onlookers nodded. “This miss does not behave like a good girl, but she dares to admit what she did at least, and she is also quite devoted to her love.”

The following scenes were that the servant girl said something from time to time, and Ning Caixian also replied in the same way. These scenes showed that she had a very good character, but was forced to choose this disgraceful way, and they also hinted that Qin Yuru even wrongly accused her of framing others for the sake of staying with Di Yan.

After uttering a few words, she nearly passed out, looking extremely weak.

So poor, so vulnerable, even if she did something unruly, she would earn much sympathy of others. Instantly, sighs came from the onlookers at the gate, and many of them had chosen the “vulnerable lady’s” side, thinking that Qin’s Mansion had ill-treated her too much with their power. Since the man and the lady were so faithful to each other, why did the mansion still use brutal ways to separate them? Then, some began to gossip about the rumors of Qin’s Mansion.

“Speaking of First Miss Qin, she is the daughter of Madam Di of Qin’s Mansion. Previously, Madam Di was already an evil woman, and I’ve heard she also tried to murder Madam Shui…”

As the crowd chatted, the mansion’s gate suddenly opened…
