Medical Princess

Chapter 1151 A Chance Prepared to Temper Hao’er!

“Madam Jiang, I won’t let her off!” Rui’an Great Elder Princess gnashed her teeth and said.

“Your Grace, if you want to avenge my master’s death, I will sacrifice my life for it. I am at your service!” Seeing that it was almost the right time, E’niang kowtowed again. With a determined look, she sincerely looked at Rui’an Great Elder Princess and made an impassioned plea.

“What do you want to do now? If you want to leave the Marquis Xing’s Mansion, I can help you!” Great Elder Princess frowned and said.

E’niang shook her head vigorously and said, “Your Grace, I won’t leave. I will stay there until I avenge my master. Otherwise, I would stay there forever!”

“Are you… going to avenge Qinghua?” Rui’an Great Elder asked after looking at her a long time.

“Yes. I vow to avenge my master’s death. She saved my life. Without her help, I would have died long ago. Otherwise, how could I have survived till now?”

E’niang continued with intense hatred in her eyes, “I’m going to marry into the Marquis Xing’s Mansion. Madam Jiang is no longer what she used to be. I can find a way to deal with her. No matter what, I will let her pay with her life for my master.”

“But you are just a mistress. If Shao Jing cared about you, he would not have let you live outside for so many years. Anyway, Madam Jiang is the legal wife!” Rui’an Great Elder Princess stated the fact without giving an affirmative or negative answer.

“Your Grace, trust me. As long as I marry into the Marquis Xing’s Mansion, I will avenge my master even at the cost of my life!” E’niang gritted her teeth with hatred and said, “For so many years, I have been doing everything possible to take revenge, but I have never had a chance. Now, here comes the best chance to deal with Madam Jiang. I will never let it go!”

“You are merely a mistress. How can you marry into the Marquis Xing’s Mansion? Even if you make it, you’ll only be a concubine much inferior to Madam Jiang. As the legal wife, she has plenty of ways to deal with you. If you go there, you’ll lose your life before doing anything against her!” Rui’an Great Elder Princess said.

“I’m not afraid of her. I can face death with no regrets!” E’niang insisted.

Seeing her determination, Rui’an Great Elder Princess pursed her lips and stopped talking. Nanny Gao seemed touched by her and couldn’t help saying, “Your Grace, that’s what E’niang wants. Why not help her out? Give her a higher status to get married, and let Marquis Xing make her the second legal wife. In this way, she may compete with Madam Jiang.”

“How can a servant girl defeat Madam Jiang? Besides, she is my daughter’s loyal servant. How can I bear to watch her go back into a place full of dangers?”

Rui’an Great Elder Princess sighed and grabbed a handkerchief to wipe her eyes. “Get up. I will avenge my daughter by myself!”

“Your Highness, if you don’t agree, I won’t get up!” E’niang insisted and still knelt on the ground, clenching her hands.

“Your Grace, please help her achieve her aim. She has affection and faith. She escorted Infanta Qinghua back and is now determined to avenge her. You can give her and her daughter a better life when this matter is settled!” Nanny Gao persuaded her master to reconsider it. Obviously, she was deeply moved by E’niang.

“You have a daughter?” Rui’an Great Elder Princess asked. It seemed she had softened her stance, “If anything happens to you, what about your daughter?”

“I do have a daughter. She has been living outside the mansion, but is educated, reasonable, and sensible enough to understand loyalty. She won’t stop me. Even if anything goes wrong with me, she will still be the Miss of Marquis Xing’s Mansion. Madam Jiang can’t do anything to her, right? Besides, even if she may target my daughter, I won’t regret it!”

E’niang said, looking grieved.

Seeing this, Rui’an Great Elder Princess sighed deeply and asked Nanny Gao to help her up. “Well, I can help you. I will give you a new identity and let you marry into the Marquis Xing’s Mansion as a second legal wife!”

“Thank you, Your Grace. Thank you so much, Your Grace!” Though wearing a sad look, E’niang appeared very excited.

“Your daughter… I’ll wait for the right moment and take her as my adoptive kin!” Rui’an Great Elder Princess granted her one more favor.

It was a great thing to be an adoptive kin of Rui’an Great Elder Princess. Even if it was just a title, it could promote the status of E’niang, who was still a mistress.

Again, E’niang wanted to kneel to express her gratitude but was stopped by Rui’an Great Elder Princess. She ordered, “You go back first. I’ll think about how to arrange your identity properly. I can’t let Shao Jing find anything wrong with it and endanger your life!”

“Thank you very much, Your Grace. How can I thank you enough for what you do for me?” E’niang thanked her repeatedly. Afterward, a servant girl took her away.

When she left, Great Elder Princess violently smashed the teacup onto the ground and said with a dark face, “How dare she lie to me? Marrying into the Marquis Xing’s Mansion with higher status? Punishing Madam Jiang? If Zhuozhuo hadn’t reminded me earlier, I would have fallen into her trap this time. I might have taken this treacherous servant girl as a loyal and righteous person!”

E’niang was so familiar with Rui’an Great Elder Princess’s character that she could accurately predict her reaction. E’niang must have been secretly plotting against her for a long time!

“Your Grace, don’t be angry. Lucky for us, Princess Chen has expected it!” Nanny Gao tried to appease her. Just now, she cooperated with Rui’an Great Elder Princess and put on such a show. It was also Princess Chen’s idea.

“Let’s go to the Prince Chen’s Mansion!” Rui’an Great Elder Princess stood up and ordered. She was particularly eager to see her granddaughter and talk about this matter.

Nanny Gao asked someone to prepare a new carriage. This time, no one stopped it. The carriage left the gate of Rui’an Great Elder Princess’s Mansion and went straight to the Prince Chen’s Mansion.

Chu Liuchen went to the study early, and only Shao Wanru was in the inner court. She had just got up. Hearing her grandmother come, she was stunned and hurriedly asked someone to invite her.

“Grandma, what happened?” When Rui’an Great Elder Princess came in with a livid face, Shao Wanru hastily stood up. She took two steps forward and bowed before asking.

Rui’an Great Elder Princess took Shao Wanru’s hand and led her to sit with her. Then she growled, “I met that woman, the servant girl staying with Shao Jing. She is dreaming of high status!”

“E’niang came to meet you?” Shao Wanru asked, not surprised at all. After Shao Wanru rejected her idea, E’niang would turn to ask for her grandma’s help. Both Shao Jing and E’niang would not give up.

“Yes, she said she wanted to avenge your mother. She would marry there even at the cost of her life. According to what you said, I promised I would give her a good identity and help her marry into the Marquis Xing’s Mansion as a second legal wife. At once, she became too delighted to cry out.” Rui’an Great Elder Princess was boiling with rage. Her daughter died many years ago, but others were still anxious to take advantage of her. Whenever she thought of this, her heart ached.

Rui’an Great Elder Princess reached out to cover her chest, feeling her irregular heartbeat. She felt a stabbing pain as if something had pricked her old wound. There, her unhealed injury was bleeding profusely again.

How could she not be full of hatred and bitterness? How she wished she could overturn the Marquis Xing’s Mansion!

“Grandma, be at ease. No matter how my mother passed away, it must have something to do with the Marquis Xing’s Mansion!” Shao Wanru said with murderous intent flickering in her eyes, but she immediately hid it at the bottom of her eyes.

Shao Wanru hadn’t yet figured out everything about her mother. At this time, she didn’t want her grandma to worry about this like her. Her grandma appeared in good health. However, tortured by sadness over many years, this tough lady was covered with sores. Before everything was settled, Shao Wanru didn’t want to tell her grandma anything. If her grandma felt worried, angry, or depressed, she would become increasingly fragile.

Rui’an Great Elder Princess calmed down a little. Holding Shao Wanru’s hands, she said, “I didn’t send that servant girl to accompany your mother in the Marquis Xing’s Mansion when she married. Perhaps, Old Madam, that old lady, gave her to your mother as a gift. Later, I saw her serve your mother, but she was not your mother’s closest servant. Your mother had many servants. What should we do now? I reassured her and let her wait as you had told me to.”

“Since she wants to marry into the mansion and fight with Madam Jiang, let her do it!” Shao Wanru said carelessly. She would not sympathize with Madam Jiang or support E’niang. In this case, she might as well watch them fight!

“Grandma, you can get a new identity for her, a fake one, but don’t link yourself with it. No matter how others investigate it, they can’t trace it back to you!” Shao Wanru suggested.

It was not good for her grandmother to get involved too much. She should stay far away from the two women.

“It’s easy to do that. We can give her an identity. I happened to hear something, and I can use it!” Her granddaughter’s comforting words quickly calmed her down. With a handkerchief, she wiped the corners of her eyes and thought for a while. Then she turned her head and asked Nanny Gao, “Did the family lose their daughter?”

“Yes… Yes. I heard they lost their daughter. I know what to do!” Nanny Gao immediately understood what Rui’an Great Elder Princess meant and nodded repeatedly.

“Grandma, does it have anything to do with you?” Shao Wanru asked worriedly.

“It has nothing to do with me. Don’t worry!” Rui’an Great Elder Princess patted Shao Wanru’s hand and looked at her with soft eyes, feeling relieved.

“Grandma, let’s do as you say, but don’t tell E’niang about it too early. Leave her out in the cold for a few days. If she comes to your place again, you can ask Hao’er to meet her. You have heard her lies, and I think she should have prepared many excuses for Hao’er too.” Shao Wanru expressed much in a few words.

“How could she think of using Hao’er?” Great Elder Princess was furious. She clenched the handkerchief tightly as if she were strangling E’niang.

“Grandma, Hao’er will be the heir of a duke of Marquis Xing’s Mansion. He may inherit the Marquis Xing’s Mansion and take charge of it alone. No matter how well you protect him, he must reach out to the outside world. Since they have come to us, we can take this chance to let Hao’er understand the affairs of Marquis Xing’s Mansion. He is no longer a little child. It’s time for him to gain some worldly wisdom!”

Shao Wanru comforted Rui’an Great Elder Princess in a soft voice.

Hao’er had grown up a little and was very intelligent. The only thing that dissatisfied Shao Wanru was his attitude toward the Marquis Xing’s Mansion. He never said he liked or disliked those people from Marquis Xing’s Mansion. Although he frowned upon some things they did, he could always find an excuse for the Marquis Xing’s Mansion. After all, he didn’t know the heartbroken inside story.

It was not his fault. These people planned to destroy him by heaping excessive praise, but how could a child know it? Back then, he was just an insufferably arrogant boy who was deliberately spoiled!

This time, it happened that he could see the true colors of Marquis Xing’s Mansion. He didn’t owe them a debt of gratitude but a huge debt of his parents’ blood! Under the adverse influence of the Marquis Xing’s Mansion, he might turn against her and her grandma. To prevent it from happening, Shao Wanru thought they might take this troublesome issue as a chance to temper Hao’er!
