Qin Wanru stood on the swing and felt it safe by pulling the ropes of the swing.
"Old grandma ordered people to fasten the ropes in case of my playing it secretly. Since the swing was safe, Qin Wanru sat on it. However, she hesitated after sitting on it."
She touched the place where her arm was injured, not knowing whether she would misplay.
Looking up at the tall courtyard wall, she found when the swing swayed, it was likely to hit the courtyard wall. "Anyway, I have to try it."
She held the ropes on both sides with her feet slammed back. Then the swing swayed, slipped down later and was about to hit the trunk behind it. When Qin Wanru felt right, she kicked the trunk behind. Then, the swing went out again.
Then the swing came back again. She kicked it again.
She was familiar with the swing, so she kicked almost at the same position. As the swing was getting higher and higher, she was closer and closer to the courtyard wall. Qin Wan stared at the high wall in front of her and suddenly loosed her hands. She jumped out and happened to lie on the high wall.
"Her ladyship, her ladyship, are you okay?" Qing Yue said in a low tone on seeing her figure. She had been waiting outside the wall for a while.
"Not ok. How come I am ok!"
She felt her injured arm stung. Qin Wanru knew that her wound would be tore again. She burst out tears because it hurt so much. Her hands were weak so she almost fell from the high wall.
She insisted on with her teeth set. Then she loosed her hands slightly after suffering from the pain that surged like a tide. Her pink cherry lips suddenly became pale and she shivered twice without making a slight sound.
Finally, she got over. Qin Wan looked at her arms sideways and saw blood penetrated from the coat that was not thick.
She clearly knew that she couldn't insist for a long time. She turned her head and moved slightly to the left side of the foot. There was a tree growing there, a tree leaning against the wall.
She held the truck of the tree and slipped to the ground outside the courtyard. Qin Wanru had no energy and fell to the ground.
Qing Yue hugged her upper body immediately and said in a hurry, "Her ladyship, are you ok?"
"I'm fine. Let's go!" She said with sweat like big beans falling down from her forehead across her pale face, which made her childish little face pitiful. She was just a child but there was strong toughness in her eyes.
Qing Yue felt that her ladyship seemed to have changed after waking up yesterday. Before, she made people feel that she was young and ignorant in terms of both her appearance and personality. Nowadays, she was still young and ignorant in terms of her appearance only. It seemed that her soul had been changed. Of course, Qingyue also knew that this was impossible.
But it was certain that her ladyship had changed.
However, Qing Yue was very happy to see the changes. "At least her ladyship will not be coaxed by the lady and lady Yuru"
The carriage, brought by Qing Yue, was the most common kind in the house. Qing Yue helped Qin Wanru to get on the carriage. Then, the carriage slowly went outside of the city to Jingxin Monastery.
"Prince, the wind is a bit heavy here. Let's go back!" Xiao Xuanzi said after noticing the pale complexion of his master.
Chu Liuchen did not pay attention to Xiao Xuanzi. Instead, he walked up to the front of the swing and looked at the shelf in front of him with interest. Only then he was at the entrance of the Moon Cave over there, watching Qin Wanru climb over the wall.
Her ladyship in this family had adept wall climbing skills, which he had not seen before. "Shouldn’t all ladies be sitting without shaking knees?"
Ropes were relatively strong. Chu Liuchen pulled, sat on the swing and said to Xiao Xuanzi curiously, "push!"
"Prince, your body was not in good health..." Xiao Xuanzi was worried with his sweat coming down. "Is this kind of intense activity really suitable for my master?"
"Push!" Chu Liuchen narrowed his eyes and looked at the wall with no expressions on his handsome face.
"Yes!" Xiao Xuanzi shivered in his heart on seeing the expressionless face of his own master. Under this condition, it was difficult to read the master's heart. He dared not to talk anymore. He pushed it forward, which swayed the swing.
It was the same place and the same kick-out. Xiao Xuanzi felt like he saw what lady Wanru had done. He would be happy to see if the person was not his master. But it was his master, which...which made his surprised face pale like Chu Liuchen.
"Prince, be careful."
"Prince, I will help you push."
"Prince...ah..."
Seeing that the prince also jumped into the wall, Xiao Xuanzi was scared. "Fortunately, my master did not like lady Wanru who was lying on the wall. He was standing still and seemed to be stable." Chu Liuchen stood on the wall of the courtyard, seeing a drop of blood on the wall with his eyebrows wrinkled and then seeing a drop of blood outside the courtyard. From the wall to the tree was a trail of blood which could be seen until somewhere along the trunk. Over there was a rut so it was possible that she left by carriage. Prince raised his eyes and looked ahead, only to see the back of a carriage. She was a clever little girl who left through this method. Then there was nothing interesting to see. He had his feet diverted and fell from the wall. Xiao Xuanzi was scared when he saw his master falling from the wall, reaching for the high wall on one side and coughing up with sharp pain in his chest. "P
"Where did this medicine powder come from?" the master of the Jingxin monastery asked casually as he took a clean cloth and wiped away the powder mixed with blood on Qin Wanru's wound. No one noticed darkness flickered over her eyes and eyebrows. Her hands trembled a little. But soon she held one hand tightly. When her hands were raised again, they were not trembling at all. "Is it the man's medicine? After all these years, did he finally show up?" "It must be the medicine from the doctor who was called by grandma!" Qin Wanru looked at the wound on her arm with a little confusion since she really didn't know. "Please ask old Mrs. Qin, which doctor gave her the medicine powder after going back." The voice of the master of the Jingxin monastery was soft, but there was a kind of heaviness which could be heard by Qin Wanru in her voice. Qin Wanru titled to look and thought, "Does the medicine have a problem?" "OK, I w
Qin Wanru had entered the room directly this time. The guards at the gates must have wondered how she got out in the first place. Nevertheless, since the general and wife only instructed them not to let her out, but did not say not to let her in, so they did not dare to stop her. Although Second Miss was never the mistress's favored daughter, Qin Wanru had always been the one old grandma doted on, and so no one in the Ningyuan Army General's house dared to be rude to her. Qin Wanru headed straight to the house where Prince Chen was. She was soon summoned into the house after waiting for a bit outside. Qin Wanru realized that Prince Chen seemed to have changed into a new of clothes within since the last time she saw him. He was currently clad in a bright red robe, which no man would have carried with grace. Only Prince Chen would have looked so stunningly handsome in such apparel. However, she also no
"Can I request that the prince help me get hold of an item?" Qin Wanru said softly, testing the water. She was certain that he had brought with him many men on this trip, given his status. Although there were only a few men here with them, Qin Wanru these were but some of the many men who showed themselves openly. There was bound to be many other men who were secretly watching over the prince. "What item is that?" said Chu Liuchen, smiling slightly with grace. It looked as if he was not the devil who provoked Qin Wanru to the point of gnashing her teeth. "A seal." Even Qin Wanru did not fully understand the use and purpose of this seal. What she knew was that Qin Yuru had used this seal to obtain favor from the Old Ladyship of Xing Kingdom, and was subsequently taken into the royal family to be taken care of as an adopted daughter for a period of time. For this reason, Qin Yuru had used her status to trample Qin Wanru underfoot and even thei
Qin Wanru walked to the table, picked up the brush, pondered for a moment then put the brush to the paper and began to paint. When she finished painting, she put down the brush and cautiously brought the painting to Chu Liuchen and said, "Please have a look, Prince Chen. This is the pattern I talked about." "This is indeed the correct pattern!" said Chu Liuchen when he set his eyes on the painting and raised his eyebrows. Qin Wanru felt a sudden bitterness in her heart as she remembered how in her previous life, she was so fearful of facing people when she entered the capital city, that she had to resort to painting to get by. For this reason, her painting skills improved leaps and bounds every day. However, her masterly painting skill did not get her anywhere. In fact, it was precisely her painting skill that led her to her tragic death, being cut in half at her waist. At that moment of death, she felt that even the sky appeared twisted. Wh
A few men looking to be ruffians forced their way into the room where Qin Yuru and Qi Tianyi were. Qin Yuru's personal maid and Qi Tianyi's sidekick who were not fast to react were cramped behind the door and cried out in pain. The commotion had attracted much attention from outside and people started crowding into the room to see what was happening. When the people who entered the room locked eyes with those inside the room, they were both stunned. Qin Yuru seemed to have awakened from a dream. She pushed Qi Tianyu away in a hurry and turned away from the eyes of all the people. "Where are these people from? Throw them out immediately!" bellowed Qi Tianyu, dismayed. He meant these words for the ruffians who barged in. "Isn't ... this the First Young Master of the Qi Family? How does he still find the mood to secretly meet with a girl?" someone exclaimed in surprise. Qi Tianyu was well-known among the people of Ji
Qin Wanru's lips had always been bright-red in color and it was precisely why her grandmother had given her the nickname Zhuozhuo, which means 'burning'! A part of memory was gone, but she could vaguely make out that it was because of her bright-red lips which resulted in her being charged with a crime. People treated her with contempt because of them and the circumstance she was under turned for the worst. Nevertheless, she was unable to remember the concrete details. All she could remember was that all the people around were scornful. "Why? Could it be some secret recipe that you can't reveal to me?" Chu Liuchen teased as he saw her face drained of colors and he reached out his hand to pinch her cheek. He was a little too rough and Qin Wanru was tearing up from the pain. While keeping her eyes on him, she lifted her hand to grab his hand that was pinching her. The pain had made her forget about the painful memory deep in her mind.
Qin Wanru stood outside the room instead of entering it. To the maids who came up to her, she waved as an indication not to greet her, but to keep quiet. "What happened last night? Why was Yuru still out and about at that hour, and worse, to meet Qi Tianyu? How is she to save her reputation as a decent young lady?" the angry voice of Old Grandma could be heard from within the room. Following that, there was the sound of something being broken into pieces, which Qin Wanru suspected that Old Grandma must have smashed her teapot out of rage! "Mother, Yuru went out yesterday to purchase those Chinese medicines I needed. She wore the curtained hat because she was afraid people might recognize her. She didn't expect to bump into Qi Tianyu on her way and he demanded her for an explanation, which was why Yuru followed Qi Tianyu to the restaurant. Yuru didn't set up her meeting with Qi Tianyu!" Inside Old Grandma's room, Mrs. Qin was kn
