Chapter 958 Inside Story

“What happened in Jiangzhou? What could have happened in Jiangzhou?” Qin Yuru was stunned for a moment, raised her head, and did not understand what she meant!

“Isn’t there anything in Jiangzhou?” Shao Wanru said lightly. Her deep eyes seemed to be shining, but when one looked at them carefully, they looked deep again.

“Qin Yuru, if you want to tell me the secret of Jiangzhou, send someone to tell me. Otherwise... there will be no next step for you. Everyone confirmed your crime of killing your mother. Even if you have the blood of the Chu family in your veins now, so what? No one in Grand Prince’s Mansion will try to save you!” said Shao Wanru slowly.

After finishing her words, she turned around and walked out without looking at Qin Yuru.

“Shao Wanru, what do you mean?” Qin Yuru didn’t understand and shouted loudly.

“First Miss, our lady doesn’t mean anything. That is to say, except for our lady, no one will be able to help you in the future. This is given to you by our lady. If you need, you can find a way with this. If you can’t do anything about it, just wait for your death. There are only a few months left before the execution in fall!” Yujie threw a purse in her hand to Qin Yuru and said with disdain.

Qin Yuru reached out to grab the purse and opened it in a hurry. There was a thick stack of small-sum taels of silver and notes in it. Although they were in small amounts, they were what Qin Yuru needed most at the moment.

If they were large-sum taels of silver and notes, she could not keep them after being discovered by the prison head. When they were small-sum, they could be separated and hidden, and it was easier for her to bribe people with them.

Holding the purse tightly in her hands, Qin Yuru gritted her teeth. Now she had no one to rely on, so she could only rely on herself.

She couldn’t remember anything special about Jiangzhou. The only person she could think of now was Qi Tianyu.

She didn’t know, but Qi Tianyu might know!

Yes, it was Qi Tianyu. If no one saved her, she would save herself. If she could get something from Qi Tianyu, she could make a deal with Shao Wanru. Now she was Princess Chen...

When she thought of this, there was a glimmer of hope in Qin Yuru’s panicked eyes. Only Qi Tianyu could save her. She wanted to find Qi Tianyu.

After coming out of the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Shao Wanru stood still and took a deep breath.

Yujie waved to the prison head. The female prison head hurriedly came over, bowed, and saluted, and when Yujie stuffed a purse into her hands, the female prison head tried even harder to curry favor.

“The one inside has something to do with our lady. Although it is not a good relationship, now that she has fallen into such a situation, our lady is kind enough not to hold a grudge against her. If there are any requests from her, you can make an exception if possible!” Yujie lowered her head and said.

“Yes, I understand, I understand. Her Highness is really kind!” The female jailer nodded repeatedly.

The affair between Princess Chen and this First Miss Qin had been widely spread during this time. They were all talking about this pair of former sisters. Good things would happen to good people, and bad people would be punished by heaven!

“Who was the one who came before? Why did she get beaten like this?” Yujie rolled her eyes and asked again.

“I don’t know who she is. She is like a lunatic. When the two meet, they beat each other. I heard she is a prostitute and that a nephew of Marquis Xing wants to marry her. His surname is... Wang. Oh, by the way, I remember that her surname is Ning... Her name is... Ning Caixian. Her name sounds like that of an indecent character in a brothel,” the female jailer thought for a moment and said.

She was actually standing far away at that time, but she still heard something when they lost their cool and spoke loudly.

Ning Caixian? Yujie’s eyes paused for a moment. She knew the name. As for Marquis Xing’s nephew, she was even more familiar with him.

After talking with the female jailer for a while, Yujie got on the carriage in a hurry, and Shao Wanru was already waiting for her in the carriage. After she got on the carriage, the coachman turned around and headed to the street. This time, they had gone out to see Madame Dong.

Such a thing had happened in Duke Yong’s Mansion. If someone investigated carefully, it was very likely for them to find Madame Dong. At that time, when Qin Yuru broke into Fanglan Embroidery Shop, Madame Dong happened to leave. There was never a lack of smart people in the world. Shao Wanru had to arrange it first; otherwise, Butterfly Clothing Shop would not be peaceful.

Chu Liuyue would not suffer such a big loss.

All the problems had started with the account book.

“My lady, I asked just now. The person who went to see First Miss was Ning Caixian, and she also said that Ning Caixian was going to marry Marquis Xing’s nephew whose surname was Wang! My lady, do you think it’s Wang Shengxue?” as soon as Yujie sat down, she immediately asked anxiously. This matter was so mysterious that she couldn’t believe it.

“She also said that First Miss called her a prostitute. Is Ning Caixian really not dead?” Shao Wanru had once said that Ning Caixian would not die so easily, so after Yujie was stunned, she recalled the past and was not so stunned anymore!

“Ning Caixian?” Shao Wanru repeated thoughtfully.

“Yes, it’s Ning Caixian, and I think she’s going to marry Wang Shengxue. My lady, Ning Caixian is really fine as you said!” said Yujie again. At that time, she had told the news to her lady. Her lady was very sure that Ning Caixian would not die. At first, she was dubious, but now she admired her more!

This was also the reason why she could accept the shocking news that Ning Caixian was not dead a little while later.

“How could someone like her die so easily?” said Shao Wanru with a smile and a leisurely look in her eyes.

Qin Yuru was a vicious person, and so was Ning Caixian. Now Ning Caixian’s return made her recall another thing, the trap about Yan Xi.

In her last life, Ning Caixian’s matter didn’t exist, and the trap was also set up. Unexpectedly, it fell on Ning Caixian this time.

Wang Shengxue was with Ning Caixian, and she said that she was going to be the wife. If she was his wife, her biological sister could only be his concubine and she would be stealing her brother-in-law. If it were any other woman, she might have to accept it, but Ning Xueqing was different.

A woman like her would never take this lying down!

This was a very good excuse. If it was used properly, there would be unexpected benefits!

“Ask Qing’er to investigate the place where Childe Yan went before and who the woman is,” said Shao Wanru. Originally, it had little to do with her, but since it was related to Wang Shengxue and might be useful in the future, she had to send someone to investigate it first.

“I understand!” Yujie nodded and took the order.

The carriage went all the way. After a few turns, they entered Butterfly Clothing Shop. There were still a lot of customers in Butterfly Clothing Shop. As soon as they entered the shop, they saw many female guests picking exquisite embroidery and toggle-and-loop buttons. Some took them away directly, and some didn’t. They asked the shop to sew them on when their clothes were being prepared.

Hearing that Shao Wanru had come, Madame Dong invited her to the accountant’s office, and everyone else left.

After sitting down, Shao Wanru asked, “Has someone from Fanglan Embroidery Shop visited these days?”

“No!” Madame Dong shook her head. Recently, it had been very peaceful. Nothing had happened. Even no one from Wei Dahai’s side had come to keep an eye on them.

“Something happened. Even if they want, they might fail to trace it to you for a while, but they might find out the truth later!” said Shao Wanru calmly.

“Then what should I do?” said Madame Dong nervously. Butterfly Clothing Shop was also something she put painstaking effort into.

“If someone comes to you, you are just a humble supervisor. You haven’t decided anything. Just say that your boss asked you to do it!” said Shao Wanru.

“That’s the best. But what if they turn to drastic measures?” Madame Dong was most worried about this. She had no power or influence. If they used the power of the government, she couldn’t deal with it at all.

“What happened recently has also implicated the Palace. No one will take the initiative to stir up trouble. If they really go to the Emperor, they won’t end up well either!” said Shao Wanru with absolute confidence.

“My lady, do you mean that they don’t dare to attack openly and only dare to hurt people behind the scenes?” Madame Dong breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that someone would openly force her.

“Hurting people behind the scenes can also bring powerful damage. Be careful. If you can’t deal with them, send me a message. Don’t fall into their trap!” said Shao Wanru after falling silent for a while.

“Yes, I understand!” Madame Dong nodded repeatedly. What she was most afraid of was using the power of the government. Now that it had turned into a hidden act, she just needed to deal with it carefully!

“Wei Dahai doesn’t dare to take action recently. It may take some time. Of course, we have to prevent them from taking action secretly.” Shao Wanru was not assured. Madame Dong was not only facing Wei Dahai, but also Chu Liuyue. If Chu Liuyue took action, this would not end well. She had to find a way to let people know that Butterfly Clothing Shop was not a pushover!

“Don’t worry, Master. I will be careful in everything and never let anyone take advantage of any loopholes!” Madame Dong promised again and calmed down. With her master, no one could really trace the matter to her.

“Has anyone annoying come recently?” Shao Wanru was still worried. She always felt that Butterfly Clothing Shop, which had been fine recently, was also very worrying.

“No!” Madame Dong thought for a moment and shook her head with certainty. “My lady, if it’s something, if there’s really something, I will definitely report it to you!”

“That’s great!” Shao Wanru nodded and stood up. If she stayed here for too long, she would be suspected. “I’ll go upstairs to see if there are any new varieties!”

“There is a new variety of embroidery and toggle-and-loop buttons newly made. They have been improved on the basis of the previous work. There are also some other embroidery patterns under the embroidery, which makes the girl in clothes feel younger and is praised by many Misses!” said Madame Dong as she led Shao Wanru out.

“New variety?” Shao Wanru asked with a smile. She looked like an ordinary guest curious about the new arrivals.

“Your Highness, you’ll know when you see them later. Please allow me to keep you curious. You’ll know when you go and have a look,” said Madame Dong as she took Shao Wanru to the second floor.

The staircase on the second floor was not small. Four to five people would not even bump into each other when they walked side by side, but today, they knocked into each other. Someone rolled down the stairs and faced Shao Wanru’s group. The first one they bumped into was none other than Shao Wanru...
