Chapter 752 The Problem in the Talisman Is Exposed!

“Third Sister, get up first. Since it’s Miss Wang who did this, the Vice Minister’s Manor will definitely give us an explanation. It’s impossible for Miss Wang to get this kind of mixed poison, so Vice Minister Wang must also get involved in it!” Seeing Shao Caihuan kneel and beg the Nanny in charge to uphold justice, Shao Yanru immediately realized what Shao Caihuan was going to do. She hurried to help Shao Caihuan up and tried to appease her in a low voice.

She tried both coaxing and threatening and even suggested that Shao Caihuan should not get herself into trouble, because the poison was from the Xu State and ordinary people had no access to it.

Shao Wanru sneered in her heart and looked at her indifferently. Seeing the anxiety in Shao Yanru’s eyes, she thought in the past Shao Caihuan would definitely be threatened by Shao Yanru’s words and stay quiet, but Shao Yanru’s tricks didn’t work on Shao Caihuan, who almost went crazy at the moment.

With her mind occupied with hatred for Shao Yanru rather than the concern that she would get herself and Duke Xing’s Mansion into trouble, Shao Caihuan wished she could kill Shao Yanru now.

Shao Caihuan had clearly heard the words of the imperial physician just now. Learning that both her face and life had been ruined, she definitely would not let Shao Yanru off.

“Nanny, it’s this talisman. Someone must have poisoned it!” Shao Caihuan pushed Shao Yanru away, handed the talisman to the Nanny in charge and said.

Glancing at the talisman and at Shao Caihuan, who had lost her mind, Shao Wanru slowly lowered her head and let out a gasp.

Sure enough, Shao Caihuan knew that there was something wrong with the talisman, so she didn’t dare to wear it and thought that putting it under her pillow would do no harm to her.

However, she gave Shao Wanru an identical talisman and told Shao Wanru to wear it because it would bring her good luck.

The regular way to wear a talisman was to put it around the neck.

However, this talisman contained a severe poison that could take effect when it was within a certain range of someone, so although Shao Caihuan just put it under her pillow, it still did harm to her.

“This is it?” The Nanny in charge, who didn’t dare to take it directly, looked at it and asked.

“Yes, this is it. It must be the thing activating the incense. This is the only thing I got after entering the imperial palace, and plenty of people had access to it before it finally reached me!” Shao Caihuan said with hatred.

“Well, put it here. I will find out the truth!” The Nanny in charge said and pointed to a corner of the table as a hint for her to put it down. She did not dare to hold it for fear that she would be poisoned by accident. It was better to ask the Imperial Institute of Medicine to send someone to take it away. No one knew what other evil things the Xu State, an uncivilized country, got.

“Nanny, this must have something to do with my eldest sister!” After putting the talisman on the table, Shao Caihuan pointed at Shao Yanru and said with red eyes.

“Third Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? I know nothing about your talisman. How could you say it has something to do with me?” Shao Yanru said with her face turning pale from fear.

Shao Caihuan gritted her teeth and said, “Do you really know nothing about it? That day, when I asked the palace maid to get me talismans, you clearly heard it. Didn’t you happen to pass by and take a few glances at the palace maid?”

“I just took a few glances at her. There’s nothing weird about it. Third Sister, it’s unfair of you to say that. Can’t I take a few glances at a palace maid? Third Sister, we are both from Duke Xing’s Mansion, and the second and third branches of Duke Xing’s Mansion have always helped and cared for each other. Why… why do you have to push the blame to me now?”

Shao Yanru said tearfully with her eyes turning red, looked at Shao Caihuan sadly and said, “Third Sister, are you… are you trying to drag me into this?”

Hearing her questions and seeing Shao Caihuan’s ferocious face, everyone would think that Shao Yanru looked more convincing while Shao Caihuan had lost her mind and even tried to drag her sister into this.

The Nanny in charge frowned. She was displeased with Shao Caihuan’s claim based on no evidence that Shao Yanru, who had just taken a few glances at the palace maid, was the culprit. This reason made no sense and was ridiculous. She was wondering if the Third Miss Shao couldn’t bear this and went crazy!

The Nanny in charge didn’t want to get the First Miss Shao involved in this at all, because she had been told by a master to take care of her.

“Third Miss, is it strange to glance at a palace maid?” The Nanny in charge asked indifferently. If it weren’t for Shao Caihuan’s identity as the legitimate Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion, She would have left.

“It’s not strange to glance at a palace servant, but she also turned to this palace maid later to buy talismans!” Shao Caihuan, who seemed to be ready to pay any price, pointed at Shao Yanru and said loudly, “Why did she turn to the same palace maid? She must have done something to my talismans.”

“Third Miss Shao, since you could turn to the palace maid to buy talismans, why couldn’t the First Miss Shao do so?” the Nanny in charge asked in displeasure.

“Why was my talisman poisoned after she turned to the palace maid? It must be her who has poisoned my talisman!” Shao Caihuan had no evidence, but she had an intuition that Shao Yanru was the culprit. Looking at Shao Yanru’s hypocritical face, she was so angry that she wanted to scream.

Since her life had been ruined, she would not let off Shao Yanru.

“Stop it. Third Miss Shao, even if you’re insane, you should reserve this nonsense until you go home. Do you think the First Miss Shao intended to disfigure you because she’s jealous of you?” the Nanny in charge asked with a mocking smile. Although the Third Miss Shao was good-looking, she still couldn’t match the First Miss Shao.

“Her target is not me, but… Fifth Sister. Eldest sister intended to disfigure Fifth Sister.” After Shao Caihuan choked for a while, she looked at Shao Wanru fiercely, pointed at Shao Wanru, and said loudly.

“She intended to hurt me?” On hearing herself mentioned, Shao Wanru looked up at Shao Yanru and at Shao Caihuan, pointed at herself, and asked in confusion.

“Yes, she intended to hurt you. Fifth Sister, Eldest Sister has been displeased with you and afraid that you will be selected and take her place in the consort selection, so she doesn’t want you to be selected. She considers no one other than you, the legitimate daughter of the first branch as well as the daughter of the eldest uncle, as a threat. Their second branch has always considered your first branch as a threat and will never let off any member of your first branch.”

Shao Caihuan, who had almost lost her mind at this time, just said whatever she thought, with her mind occupied with a crazy idea that she must drag Shao Yanru into this and put her in a miserable situation. She would never let off Shao Yanru.

Suddenly Shao Caihuan was slapped hard, causing her head to tilt to one side.

Then Shao Yanru knelt down beside Shao Caihuan, held her hand tightly with both hands, and said tearfully, “Third Sister, sober up. We are sisters from the same mansion. No matter you or Fifth Sister gets hurt, grandma will feel distressed. Grandma values rules the most. How can she bear to see the conflict among us? Now… you are trying to distress grandma and break her heart!”

“Third Sister, you got hurt today. I know I should blame myself for not having taken good care of you. If you’re unbearably indignant, you can beat me. After we return home, I will definitely ask grandma to find a way to cure you. The imperial physician said that you may have scars. If our Duke Xing’s Mansion mobilizes all our connections, we might be able to find a way to cure you. But if the conflict among us brings trouble to our Duke Xing’s Mansion, we won’t have time to find a good doctor for you!”

Shao Yanru choked with sobs. She let go of Shao Caihuan’s hand, held her tightly in her arms, and said, “Third Sister, we are from the same family, and we share prosperity and bear losses together. Ordinary people have no access to the mixed poison from the Xu State. If anyone is discovered to possess this kind of mixed poison, her family will be exterminated with their property confiscated.”

In that case, none of them could survive!

Shao Caihuan, who had lost her mind just now, shivered and calmed down on hearing Shao Yanru’s words. When she comprehended what Shao Yanru meant, she suddenly trembled with panic in her eyes.

She, who said those words on impulse, was panic-stricken after hearing Shao Yanru’s words. If Duke Xing’s Mansion got into trouble, she would really be disfigured and even die with no doctor to treat her.

Both the second branch and the third branch were members of Duke Xing’s Mansion. Before they divided up family property and lived apart, all the three branches of Duke Xing’s Mansion were a whole.

Shao Wanru composedly watched Shao Yanru threaten Shao Caihuan, silently sneering. She was now also a member of Duke Xing’s Mansion. Given this, she certainly would not let Duke Xing’s Mansion get involved in this matter. In fact, she did not expect Shao Yanru would be exposed this time.

Shao Yanru had always been so cautious that she wouldn’t fall into the trap so easily.

The clues were unlikely to lead to her, and there was no direct evidence to prove that she was the culprit. Nevertheless, Shao Caihuan’s crazy words had already made her suspicious!

That was enough. A solid dyke could collapse because of an ant hole in it. Shao Yanru’s great reputation now was flawed.

Shao Yanru, who had attracted much attention before she was officially selected, would become the target of many of her opponents who were more competent than her…

Shao Wanru glanced at the Nanny in charge’s face, only to see her staring at Shao Yanru thoughtfully and emotionlessly with her deep eyes.

Everyone in the imperial palace was shrewd. Shao Yanru seemed to be persuading Shao Caihuan to stop making a scene, but in fact, she meant something else. The First Miss Shao was not as dignified and good-natured as she was said to be. She was obviously a scheming person. Thinking about what Shao Caihuan had said before, the Nanny in charge turned to look at Shao Wanru, who was standing aside.

Shao Wanru, who was standing quietly aside, frowned slightly. It seemed that she was at a loss about what to do in the current situation, so she didn’t come to appease Shao Caihuan immediately. Her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, which made her look delicate and aloof, while her eyes and red lips made her look charming.

There were various beauties in the world. Some were domineering, some were charming and some were as delicate as an orchid in autumn. But the Fifth Miss Shao was a unique beauty who was both charming and a little cold. She reminded her of the aloof fairy in the Moon Palace. However, her smile looked like blooming flowers, making her less cold and slightly enchanting.

She could be considered peerlessly beautiful, or even beautiful enough to overthrow a city. It was reasonable that the First Miss Shao, known as the first beauty, wanted to deal with the Fifth Miss Shao. Moreover, the First Miss Shao was not as gracious as people said.
