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.
"Prince, are you ok? Prince!" Xiao Xuanzi reached for Chu Liuchen after rolling and crawling.
"I'm ok. Let's go back!" Chu Liuchen said flat and slowly stood after coughing a few times. He did not move his feet.
"Prince, do I need to fetch the chair?" Xiao Xuanzi asked.
Chu Liuchen nodded and pointed to the swing. Xiao Xuanzi was busy helping him to sit down on the swing. When the swing was not shaking, it could be used as a chair.
"Prince, wait here for a minute. I will come back soon!" Xiao Xuanzi ran to fetch the chair after he saw Prince sitting stably.
The handsome young boy closed his eyes with his long and curled eyelashes flicked twice and his thin lips hanging up, which showed weakness in his lazy gesture. It was not the expressionless face that Xiao Xuanzi had seen before.
Jingxin Monastery was not far from General Ningyuan's mansion. It only took half an hour.
After knowing the purpose of Qin Wanru's arrival, the master of Jingxin Monastery asked the little nun around to fetch the Fenghua glass light left by old Mrs. Qin.
"Thank you, mistress!" Seeing Fenghua glass light, Qin Wanru was relieved because she found what Jin Datui wanted.
"No problem, it is not a thing which can be placed here casually." The master of Jingxin Monastery was 50 or 60 something. She was very kind and at this time she pushed over the bag with a smile in which there was the Fenghua glass light. "Lady Wanru, is this one?"
"It is this one. Thanks for your efforts!" Qin Wanru thanked.
The master of Jingxin Monastery could not help laughing when she saw the little girl who lift up her bright eyes and pretended to be calm like an adult. Because she was familiar with old Mrs. Qin, she was not unfamiliar with Qin Wanru. Therefore, she immediately reached out and gently touched her hair.
"I've heard that something happened in the General's mansion. How is the old lady going?" The bridal sedan chair being smashed was spread widely even to Jingxin Monastery that was a remote area, which showed the power of gossip.
It could be spread so fast because a large number of people saw it at that time. In other words, Qi Tianyu deliberately found many people to fetch the bride, which aimed to make Qin Wanru shameful but Qin Yuru lost her face.
“Is it spread all over around” Qin Wan asked curiously. Indeed, she wanted to know the impact brought by this case. However, it was inconvenient for her to go outside to inquire about it. Since the master of Jingxin Monastery knew it, she could ask about it by the way.
Moreover, she also knew that this case did not end and how will that mother and daughter be willing to bear all the responsibilities.
"Yes," said the master of Jingxin Monastery, "I've heard that lady Wanru had smashed the bridal sedan chair of Qi's mansion yesterday. It was caused by lady Yuru who wished to marry to someone in the capital and intended to leave the first master of Qi family, her childhood sweetheart. I could not think that lady Yuru, a gentle girl, was like such person."
After a sigh, she saw Qin Wanru's injured arm. "Was her ladyship stabbed by a villain slave yesterday? Let me help you check whether it was serious or not?"
"Thank you, mistress!" Qin Wanru said.
The master of Jingxin Monastery was good at medication, which was known by everyone in Jiangzhou Prefecture. Usually, the pilgrims who were sick or farmers around were sick, they would send for the master of Jingxin Monastery. Therefore, Jingxin Monastery enjoyed a good reputation.
However, Qin Wanru knew that the person with best medication skills was not the master of Jingxin Monastery but her sister, Mingqiu Mistress. The reason why Qin Wanru knew it was that Mingqiu Mistress liked her very much and told the old lady that she would like to accept her as a disciple and impart her medication skills to her.
But every time her request was politely rejected by the old lady.
"Lady Wanru came with me!" The master of Jingxin Monastery stood up and walked in followed by Qin Wanru. She removed the outer shirt to reveal the wound inside after getting into the room.
The master of Jingxin Monastery peeled off the cotton towel that was wrapped on the wound and then placed it on one side. The master of Jingxin Monastery darkened her face on seeing the powders on Qin Wanru's wound.
"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
"The girl was good-hearted but had bitter fate!" Speaking of Shui Ruolan, the Old Grandma sighed again and turned pale. "Grandmother, did you talk to Aunt Shui?" Qin Wanru asked cautiously. "Your Aunt Shui... After all, she could not get over it in her heart!" The Old Grandma shook her head. She did not know how to explain it because of lacking for evidence. "Grandmother, I'll go and expostulate with Aunt Shui!" Qin Wanru said. "You?" The Old Grandma looked at the little granddaughter in front of her, who was still a little child. She was not convinced by her appearance. "Yes, grandmother, let me try! I like Aunt Shui." Qin Wanru took the old lady's hand and shook it a few times. Her face became gloomy suddenly. She said on purpose, "It seems that my mother doesn't like me... I also want someone to love me!" She bit her red lips in an aggrieved way. The sad expression on her small tender face made pe
