Chapter 440 Mighty Rui'an Great Elder Princess

The three bright characters at the entrance of the "Qu Huan Courtyard" were extremely quaint and natural. At a glance, you can see the strength of the calligraphy.

Standing at the door, she looked at the size of the courtyard, which was about half larger than that of Old Madam Qin when she was in Qin's Mansion. She could tell that this was one of the main courtyards.

"Who originally lived here?" Qin Wanru asked after standing still.

"Nobody lived here before. They originally wanted to arrange for First Miss to live here, but First Miss didn't like to be too far away from Madam. So this yard is vacant." The old maid in charge explained cleverly.

Qin Wanru walked into the yard, and there were two servant girls in the yard. When they saw Qin Wanru coming in, they hurriedly saluted.

A group of people walked to the open main house and entered the house, where they saw exquisite mahogany furniture and carved cases.

Qin Wanru had also been to Duke Yong's Mansion before, and felt that the layout in front of her was almost the same as that of Old Madam in the Duke Yong's Mansion.

Although Duke Yong's Mansion had fallen, the house of Old Madam of Duke Yong was very well decorated. And it was not something that ordinary people could arrange.

The layout of Old Madam Qin's house was also the best in the entire Qin's Mansion. But many things were newly bought. There were very few things that can only be taken out from the aristocratic family which had hundreds of years. But the set of mahogany furniture in front of her and other layout in this room were all elaborate and had ancient charm.

This was not an ordinary yard.

It was also not like the courtyard where Qin Yuru lived in the last life. The house was so magnificent and fine-decorated. It was definitely the real master of Duke Xing's Mansion who could live in it. She looked at the curtains hanging on both sides, and the hanging screen made by round pearls at the door. Qin Wanru raised her eyebrows.

She actually knew there was such a yard.

The person who lived in the courtyard in the last life was not Qin Yuru but the First Young Master of Duke Xing's Mansion, who was also the heir of a duke later. The reason why she remembered so clearly was that once a time Qin Yuru came back angrily. Her face was slapped. She was scolding people while saying the name of Qu Huan Courtyard.

At that time, Qin Wanru happened to meet her at the intersection and was pushed down to the ground by Qin Yuru rudely and reprimanded by her fiercely. Her words contained the name of Qu Huan Courtyard frequently.

First Young Master Shao, Shao Hua’an's yard, but now it had not been his! This should be the wedding room prepared for Shao Hua’an. In the last life, the person who slapped Qin Yuru was the wife of the First Young Master Shao. But it was not clear why she would have a conflict with Qin Yuru and even slapped her.

It was really generous for Madam of Duke Xing to give the yard which was arranged for Shao Hua’an to get married to her.

This behavior was unblamable even as the grandmother!

Stepping inside, she sat down on the chair in the middle, and the old maids in the princess's house placed the tray on the table at the door and politely retreated.

The old maid of Duke Xing's Mansion pointed at the layout inside the house with a smile. "Fifth Miss, these are all arranged by our Madam. Many of them are taken from the dowry of our Madam. We hope you can like them!"

"These are good. I like them very much!" Qin Wanru nodded and said softly.

The faces of Yujie and Qu Le also looked better. And they were no longer irritated by the matter about clothes just now.

No matter how they looked at it, this yard was not of the same grade as the former temporary yard. From this they could also see the sincerity of Madam of Duke Xing.

"You can go back first." Qin Wanru waved her hands and said.

"Yes, I will retreat right now. The supervisor old maid in charge of this yard will report to Fifth Miss later." The supervisor old maid smiled and said. Then she saluted to Qin Wanru and reported to retreat.

Seeing the old maid in charge leaving, the arch eyebrows of Qin Wanru deeply frowned.

Madam of Duke Xing would be so kind as to give the courtyard that she prepared for her son to her early? It was impossible even if she wanted to show it to her grandmother!

Considering Madam of Duke Xing's personality, she was not like the person who would do such a thing!

But if not, why did she give such a yard to her? But since she had given her, Qin Wanru could naturally live in it and after that Madam of Duke Xing could no longer blatantly snatch it from her.

There were contradictions that made people very uneasy.

Although Qin Yuru lived well in the last life, it was not here. In this life, things had changed, and she became the Miss of Duke Xing's Mansion. And she even lived better. This was not compensation!

Qin Wanru could be sure of this. In the last life, Qin Yuru lived in the courtyard where she could live for a long time. Although it was very good for outsiders, it was ordinary for the people from Duke Xing's Mansion.

As Qin Yuru's identity at that time, it was best to live like this.

But now she lived here, almost robbing the residence of the son of Madam of Duke Xing. This kind of residence should be picked for a long time. It would be constructed early and arranged a bit by a bit. It could not be arranged like this without several years of effort.

After spending so much effort, how could Madam of Duke Xing watch her living in it?

Another thing that made Qin Wanru doubtful was the First Young Master of Duke Xing's Mansion. Looking at this way, he would inherit the position of the heir of Duke Xing's Mansion, and living in such a courtyard also matched his identity.

What did it mean for her to live in it? Would this make others doubt the position of heir of a duke of Shao Hua’an?

If this yard was just gorgeous and splendid, Madam of Duke Xing would be able to endure it. But if others would doubt the position of heir of a duke that First Young Master would get, Madam of Duke Xing would never endure it.

There must be another reason.

"Miss, you can't wear any of these clothes!" Qu Le's voice came over, and it sounded very angry. Qin Wanru hid her thoughts and looked at Qu Le.

Seeing the clothes shaken out on the table, she stood up and walked over.

"Miss, the clothes bag has not been opened, but the clothes can hardly be worn, and there are stains on all of them."

Yujie also helped her to tidy them up. When she shook off a piece of clothing, she said that how such clothes could still be worn.

Qin Wanru did not take many clothes. She only took three sets because she didn't plan to stay here for a long time.

Picking up the clothes in Yujie's hands and looking at it, she found there were large and small water stains. And then she thought about the cleaning in the yard just now. The stains on the clothes were definitely dirty.

"Fortunately, a few sets of clothes have been sent here before. Otherwise, Miss would have no clothes to wear now!" Qu Le grumbled unwillingly.

Qin Wanru's heart missed a beat. The clothes that had been prepared long ago? The clothes that she could not wear in front of her now?

There must be something special in it...

"Tomorrow she will recognize the ancestors?! That would be too anxious!" Old Madam was sitting in the house. Her brow furrowed tightly, and she did not look happy.

She didn't sit in the first place. She just sat on the left side of the house, and on the right sat the Rui'an Great Elder Princess, who ignored the courtesy.

Between them there was a tea table, on which there were tea cups and dim sums. It seemed to be peaceful. However, the atmosphere in the house was tight. Rui'an Great Elder Princess's face was cold and she looked at Old Madam with sharp sight.

Maybe it was because that her husband had passed away early, Rui'an Great Elder Princess tended to be sharper on her manner than other women. At this time, she stiffened her face which made others feel her coldness between her eyes and eyebrows. The crowd of servants in Duke Xing Old Madam's room all squatted quietly, and they did not dare to breathe.

As for the imposing manner, Old Madam was far behind Rui'an Great Elder Princess.

"If you don't recognize Zhuozhuo tomorrow, I will take her away so that it could save your time for finding various reasons to doubt Zhuozhuo's identity." Rui'an Great Elder Princess impolitely stared at Old Madam and said.

She meant that if there were a disagreement, she would take her away and things would be pushed to Duke Xing's Mansion.

Old Madam was very unhappy, and her face had been somber since Rui'an Great Elder Princess entered the door. "Great Elder Princess, Wanru is the granddaughter in our mansion. How could we let her go with Great Elder Princess?! If Great Elder Princess really wants her, please let Hao'er come back."

"Hao'er doesn't want to come back. He still wants to live with me!" Rui'an Great Elder Princess directly refused.

She said that she just took him to her place. Within a few years, she had no idea to let Hao'er come back. Duke Xing's Mansion had no good intentions for Hao'er, nor did they send anyone to teach him carefully. In that case, she would find someone to teach him.

"Great Elder Princess, this is unreasonable!" Old Madam's face grew darker.

"There are more unreasonable things in your mansion. Just take Madam of Duke Xing in your mansion as an example. She has her parents but was raised in your mansion early. She decided to marry to my son-in-law but she did not and she marries to the present Duke Xing. I don't know whether it is elegant or unreasonable if I tell it out?"

Rui'an Great Elder Princess sneered. She had a distinguished status, and now she had nothing to care much about, so she naturally said what she thought.

The words made the face of Old Madam become red, blue, and pale...

Speaking of this kind of thing, of course, the entire Duke Xing's Mansion was embarrassed. At first, she meant that the current Madam of Duke Xing should marry her eldest son. She didn't expect her eldest son to ask for a marriage. So she had to let her marry her second son.

Speaking of this matter, it was also a secret in Duke Xing's Mansion. Linking to the two brothers would damage her reputation. But at the time, Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion was so angry. She let Madam of Duke Xing marry her second son because she wanted to make Infanta Qinghua angry.

To be honest, this matter was extremely disrespectful and unruly. If it broke out, the entire Duke Xing's Mansion would also be embarrassed. Especially at this critical time, Duke Xing's Mansion's reputation could not be destroyed.

"Okay, just as what Great Elder Princess says. But if it is in a hurry, the courtesy might not be good enough. And the number of people invited may not be enough!" Old Madam gritted her teeth and her attitude softened.

It was a big event to be recorded in the genealogy, especially Qin Wanru's biological father was Shao Jiang, who was the former heir of a duke of Duke Xing's Mansion. Qin Wanru's returning represented the fact that Shao Jiang did not only have a disobedient young son but also a daughter.

For so many years, Duke Xing's Mansion had been blurring the existence of Shao Yuanhao. But the emergence of Qin Wanru nowadays made them unable to blur the existence of the generation of the former heir of a duke.

"That would bother Old Madam!" Since the goal was achieved, Rui'an Great Elder Princess's face became soft.

Next were the two discussing whom they should invite tomorrow, what to prepare, and the impolite requirements of Rui'an Great Elder Princess to watch the courtesy...
