Chapter 693 Wang Shengxue Shows up at Midnight


“If you can’t handle it, just tell me, and I will clear the way for you!” Chu Liuchen said lazily.


“Thank you, Your Highness. I got it!” Shao Wanru bit her lip and said.


“Well, it’s getting late. You should go back now. After we get engaged, I can come to Duke Xing’s Mansion to visit you!” Chu Liuchen said, turned around and walked to the chair where he sat before and there was a cloak. He picked it up and shook it, which was not large and of a simple and plain style.


It definitely didn’t belong to Chu Liuchen.


Holding the cloak, he walked up to Shao Wanru, put the cloak on her, and tied the cloak around her neck.


“This cloak is very ordinary. It’s snowing outside!” He said in a gentle voice in Shao Wanru’s ear so that she almost felt his warm breath. With a blush, she subconsciously pulled the hem of the cloak, felt a buzz in her head, lowered her head and dared not look at Chu Liuchen’s face.


After putting the cloak on Shao Wanru, Chu Liuchen took two steps back to have a look at her. Then he nodded and said with a smile, “Okay, be careful on the way!”


His voice was elegant and gentle.


Seeing him step back, Shao Wanru breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped aside. After bowing to him, she turned around and left in a hurry, as if staying any longer would make her blush more.


Yujie had been waiting outside the door for a long time with a cloak similar to the one on Shao Wanru. When she saw Shao Wanru come out, she hurriedly followed her.


Xiao Xuanzi led them out and saw them get in the carriage. After that he turned around and went back to the third floor.


On the third floor, Chu Liuchen was standing by the window, which happened to enable him to see the back door. He saw Shao Wanru get in the carriage and the carriage leave.


“Master, the Fifth Miss has gone back!” Xiao Xuanzi entered the room and reported.


“Chu Liuzhou should still be in the imperial palace at this moment, right? Let’s do it today. It’s a nice day!” Chu Liuchen looked at the falling snowflakes outside the window and said in a voice which was very pleasant while as piercingly cold as a zither string in winter.


“Yes, I’m going to prepare now!” Xiao Xuanzi understood and replied hurriedly, “Master, would you like to go back to the mansion?”


The Empress Dowager had sent someone to tell Chu Liuchen that he didn’t need to enter the imperial palace today!


“I’m going to the imperial palace to visit my grandma now!” Chu Liuchen said and chuckled with thick darkness in his eyes.


The thick darkness brought his face as pretty as jade a sort of cold and bloodthirsty rage and made it look chilling against the light and snow…


Shao Wanru came back as quietly as she did when she went out. The old maid guarding the back door almost went to sleep. Hearing the knock on the door, she got up and opened the door reluctantly. Fortunately, after receiving the fruit Yujie just bought outside, the old maid’s face softened. After the two of them went back, the old maid locked the door.


Shao Wanru followed Yujie to the Piaoyun Courtyard.


The snow was very heavy, and the strong wind blew on their faces, making them stagger. It hadn’t been long since they went out, but the snow had been piled up on the path.


Shao Wanru went out this time to warn Chu Liuchen. She not only achieved her goal, but also learned that Doctor Qiu’s native place had been changed. Knowing that it was a sign that they were going to take action, she thought while walking. She was a little distracted and almost fell down several times.


Yujie had no choice but to help her walk slowly.


It took them more time to return to the Piaoyun Courtyard than usual.


It got dark. Fortunately, it was a snowy day, on which the snow reflected some light and enabled them to vaguely see the road. However, the snow piled up on the road made it extremely difficult for them to walk steadily.


After walking for a while, Shao Wanru wiped the sweat off her forehead and stopped.


“Miss, there seems to be someone… I think…” Yujie pulled Shao Wanru to the back of a tree beside them and whispered.


Shao Wanru raised her head and found nothing, but she did not come out of the tree behind which they hid. Yujie always had good eyesight. Since she pulled her to hide here, there must be a reason for it.


As expected, they hadn’t waited long before they saw a figure stealthily appear in front of them. It could be seen that this person didn’t expect such a heavy snow, so he didn’t wear any cloak to keep himself off the snow. Based on his moving in a sneaky way, they could tell that he obviously wasn’t a good person.


When the person got closer, they could tell that it was a tall man.


A man appeared in the backyard?


Shao Wanru was shocked, stepped back and tried harder to hide herself behind the tree.


Both of their cloaks were light-colored and covered with snow at the moment, and they hid behind the tree without moving. Under the dim light, it was really difficult to discover that they were behind the tree. Moreover, this person seemed to be sneaky, so he wouldn’t stop to have a close look.


The two of them watched the man leave.


After he was completely out of sight, Shao Wanru came out from behind the tree.


“Is it… Wang Shengxue?” Shao Wanru asked, because she didn’t see it clearly just now.


“Yes, it’s Childe Wang. Why is he here at this time? It seems that he came in stealthily. What is he going to do?” Yujie, who saw it more clearly than Shao Wanru did, said to herself in confusion.


Anyway, he shouldn’t be here at this moment. What was more, it was the backyard of Duke Xing’s Mansion.


Wang Shengxue rarely came to visit Wang Yishu and almost didn’t care about the kinship with his sister. Now he even came to Duke Xing’s Mansion to visit Wang Yishu less often. Even if he came, he just came to please Madam of Duke Xing, Old Madam of Duke Xing and the other masters in the mansion in the name of visiting Wang Yishu. He, who was declasse, was so notorious in Duke Xing’s Mansion that even the servants didn’t take him seriously.


In fact, it was late at this time, and the snow even made it darker. If Wang Shengxue had come early, he should have left early at the sight of the snow. It had been snowing for a long while.


It was even more impossible for him to come here when it was snowing. He would not enter the backyard on a snowy day with no emergency. He must manage to enter the backyard while the backyard was under chaotic management.


Looking towards where he had come through, Shao Wanru found that he really came from Wang Yishu’s courtyard and headed for the Chuihua Gate.


She moved her stiff feet and walked forward slowly with Yujie’s help, while thinking about what had happened just now, it was indeed strange that Wang Shengxue appeared in the backyard of Duke Xing’s Mansion at this time.


Why did he come to visit Wang Yishu?


A thought suddenly came into her mind. She rolled her watery eyes, wondering if it was because the idle chess piece she had set worked. Wang Shengxue and Wang Yishu were not stupid. They met in private without letting others know because of their suspicion of Duke Xing’s Mansion? That was great. Checking the time, she found it was time to visit Wang Yishu.


When they returned to the Piaoyun Courtyard, Qu Le had prepared hot water. After Shao Wanru washed up, Qu Le helped her sit down on the couch and put a heater in her arms.


After taking a sip of hot water, Shao Wanru felt as if she had come back to life.


Putting down the teacup in her hand, she looked at Qing’er and said, “Qing’er, go and find out what Wang Yishu is doing now.”


“Yes, I’m going now!” Qing’er said with a nod and left.


Qu Le and Qing Yue set the table for Shao Wanru. After taking a few bites, Shao Wanru instructed them to clean up the dishes and go to have their dinner.


Leaning against the couch with a small heater in her arms, Shao Wanru carefully recollected what she had seen just now. It must have something to do with Wang Yishu, although she didn’t know what they were going to do.


She was certain that Doctor Qiu was going to plot against her, and someone had changed Doctor Qiu’s native place in secret so that Doctor Qiu would not be suspected.


The person changed Doctor Qiu’s native place again and again in order to wipe out the clues pointing at Doctor Qiu. Even if Wang Yishu got killed and the plot behind it was exposed, they could stay out of it as much as possible and even hide the person behind the scenes perfectly.


In order to deal with Chu Liuchen, they found a doctor from Jiangzhou at random. However, she happened to be from Jiangzhou, so she was familiar with Jiangzhou. Or it could be said that not only she but also the members of the Qin’s Mansion who moved to the capital were familiar with Jiangzhou. It was impossible to use a doctor from Jiangzhou, so they changed Doctor Qiu’s native place.


Shao Yanru and Madam of Duke Xing’s plot should be making use of Wang Yishu to deal with her by hurting Wang Yishu or even killing Wang Yishu and then shifting the blame onto her, who went to visit Wang Yishu. But there was one thing confusing her. How did they make Wang Yishu die at the right time?


How did they make Wang Yishu die exactly when she went to visit her?


After thinking it over and over again, she found that Doctor Qiu was the key point. Could it be that Doctor Qiu had his special acupuncture? It seemed that she had to turn to Mingqiu Nun for an answer!


If Doctor Qiu could really make Wang Yishu die at the right time with his acupuncture, Wang Yishu would be killed when she went to visit her.


If it were three years ago, it would have been a perfect plan. However, it had been delayed for three years because she managed to leave Duke Xing’s Mansion three years ago. As long as Wang Shengxue and Wang Yishu were not completely stupid, they would have been able to find some clues after she gave them some directions in secret. After all, Wang Yishu just pretended to faint at that time.


Since Wang Yishu was not really sick, why did she get increasingly sick and couldn’t even get up after returning to Duke Xing’s Mansion? What was more, Wang Yishu had always been treated by Doctor Qiu. Didn’t Wang Yishu and Wang Shengxue doubt it?


Now that they doubted it, what would they do?


Shao Wanru frowned slightly and had a vague intuition that she had grasped a clue. Madam of Duke Xing and Shao Yanru kept plotting against her and thought that everything was under their control, so they delayed the plot against her for three years. Did they really think that Wang Yishu was just an ignorant tool?


Wang Yishu just couldn’t figure out their plot with no directions. Now Wang Shengxue, who acted in a sneaky way, seemed to have realized something!


She was happy to see them suffer losses!


Qing’er came back very late, but she got some information. Wang Yishu hadn’t gone to sleep at this moment and was still talking with her maid about Wang Shengxue’s visit. As expected, Wang Shengxue stealthily went to meet his sister, not anyone else in the mansion.


“Miss, I saw that Miss Wang kept touching something under her pillow. She touched it from time to time and then withdrew her hand, and repeated the same thing again and again. When I went over, they were going to sleep. So they just had a short conversation during which they only mentioned that it was inconvenient for Childe Wang to go back on a snowy day. But even during such a short conversation, Miss Wang touched the thing at least ten times. It could be seen that she attached great importance to it or took it very seriously!”


Qing’er said with certainty.


She, who had learned the way to make a secret investigation, was good at detecting something imperceptible from someone’s actions and words.
