Chapter 1187 Who Will Benefit the Most

“You have to make friends with Princess Yuyan and make it clear to her that you didn’t hurt her, and you don’t hate her. You are on the same side. If you fight with each other, Zhang Qilan and Shao Wanru will benefit from it, which will be great harm to both of you. You can be sure that this matter has something to do with Shao Wanru and Zhang Qilan. They must have noticed something.”

Ruiping Great Elder Princess said that with a gloomy face. She had thought about this matter carefully and found it suspicious.

The ones that were supposed to be in trouble were safe, but the ones who weren’t were hurt.

There was something wrong within.

“Grandma, what should I say? This dog is indeed from our mansion. Now it is dead, and even its owner is dead. It will make us appear guilty if you find out who did this.” Infanta Yuan’an was not stupid. On the contrary, she was very smart. She had just been angry before, but now she gradually sobered up after being reminded by Ruiping Great Elder Princess.

Ruiping Great Elder Princess took a deep breath and said, “You just need to say that someone did it on purpose. Someone deliberately broke you up and avenged you for plotting against Zhang Qilan and Shao Wanru together.”

“Even if I say so, she won’t believe me. That bitch Yuyan is not a good person. She just tries to get more than she deserves. She even wants to get into Prince Yue’s Mansion and compare herself with Zhang Qilan without considering her status,” Infanta Yuan’an said disdainfully. She really looked down on Princess Yuyan’s infatuation, who appeared as if anyone who saw her would be attracted by her and do anything for her.

This reminded her of Shao Yanru in the past, and Princess Yuyan even was a little inferior to Shao Yanru. At least Shao Yanru had really attracted Prince Yue and Prince Zhou’s attention at that time.

Ruiping Great Elder Princess frowned. She had asked about what had happened before, and Infanta Yuan’an had also mentioned it slightly at that time, but Ruiping Great Elder Princess had not taken it seriously. But now she had an idea. “Does Princess Yuyan want the position of Princess Yue?”

“She didn’t say that she must be the legal wife. She can be a consort, but I think she will inevitably confront Zhang Qilan. This time, she also wants to destroy Zhang Qilan. Princess Chen was framed, and Prince Chen won’t let it go. According to his character, he will definitely do everything he can to investigate and trace this matter to Zhang Qilan. If Zhang Qilan really did it, even Prime Minister Zhang could do nothing.”

Thinking of what had happened to her second brother, Infanta Yuan’an couldn’t help feeling a chill in her heart and was inexplicably scared.

Prince Chen, Chu Liuchen, was not a reasonable person.

“According to Prince Chen’s mind, since something has happened to Princess Chen, it may be made known to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. These two have always protected him, so Zhang Qilan may not be able to keep her position as the legal wife. Even if she can keep it, something will definitely happen to her.” Ruiping Great Elder Princess had watched Chu Liuchen grow up, so she knew something about his cold-blooded and domineering character.

She thought that this man just looked kind on the surface, and one shouldn’t be deceived by it.

Ruiping Great Elder Princess suddenly asked, “Yuan’an, do you think this is the idea of Prime Minister Zhang’s Mansion?”

Infanta Yuan’an reached out to touch her head and asked with a pale face, “Grandma, do you mean that Zhang Qilan deliberately turned others’ trick to her own use?”

“Don’t you think someone is behind this?” Looking at the wound on her granddaughter’s head, Ruiping Great Elder Princess raised her eyebrows fiercely.

“There must be someone behind it.” Infanta Yuan’an nodded.

“The one who benefits the most from this matter is the one behind it!” Ruiping Great Elder Princess said in a deep voice, “But we have to consider other possible factors. It’s also very important whether we have the power to intervene in it. Do you think Prince Yue has been bewitched by Princess Yuyan and wants her to marry into his mansion as a consort?”

She needed to ask Chu Liuyue’s opinion. Ruiping Great Elder Princess’s Mansion had inexplicably become the center of attention. In the past two days, Ruiping Great Elder Princess had been deeply troubled, and Chu Liuzhou didn’t come to visit, although he was supposed to do it.

Ruiping Great Elder Princess was a little flustered at the thought that her granddaughter was going to be out of favor before marrying him.

Infanta Yuan’an thought for a moment and said, “It’s said that Prince Yue approves of it. Princess Yuyan said that when she went to his place, they had a tacit understanding. As long as Prime Minister Zhang’s Mansion doesn’t say anything, Prince Yue would not be a problem.” Princess Yuyan looked very happy that day, so she possibly had a tacit understanding with Chu Liuyue.

Ruiping Great Elder Princess analyzed slowly, “Although Prince Yue is willing, Prime Minister Zhang’s Mansion will definitely not agree. In the end, if Zhang Qilan is clear, Princess Yuyan can only marry into Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion and can no longer have anything to do with Prince Yue. Prime Minister Zhang’s Manor can rest assured, and Prince Yue’s Mansion can also be peaceful. It is Prince Zhou’s Mansion and you that got into trouble. Prince Yue also benefits from this matter. I heard that he went to Prime Minister Zhang’s Mansion from time to time in the past two days.”

Infanta Yuan’an gritted her teeth and said with hatred, “Grandma, in this case, Zhang Qilan benefits the most. She… she is the one behind the scenes?”

“It must have something to do with her. Prime Minister Zhang is behind her. Before the two princesses of the Xu State came to the capital city, Prime Minister Zhang’s men decorated this mansion, so it’s very likely that he has set up some men in here.” Ruiping Great Elder Princess said slowly, “But it doesn’t mean that Shao Wanru is not a suspect at all!”

“What ability does she have? She merely married a powerful husband. Without Prince Chen, Shao Wanru would be nothing. You are also a Great Elder Princess, and you are much better than Rui’an Great Elder Princess,” Infanta Yuan’an said indifferently. She looked down on Shao Wanru and felt that Shao Wanru’s current status was given by Chu Liuchen.

Infanta Yuan’an didn’t dare to offend Chu Liuchen, so she didn’t dare to provoke Shao Wanru. She really looked down on a woman who was completely dependent on a man.

“Don’t underestimate her. She is capable! She can compare with her famous Big Sister in the capital city. Now she is even more powerful than the second branch of Marquis Xing’s Mansion and has promoted her younger brother to the position of the heir of a duke. Princess Chen is not a simple woman.” Compared with Infanta Yuan’an’s disapproval, Ruiping Great Elder Princess looked much more dignified. She shook her head and denied Infanta Yuan’an’s opinion.

“That’s because she married Prince Chen. Before she married him, she was forced to go to the Yuhui Nunnery. Everyone in the Marquis Xing’s Mansion didn’t take her seriously.” Infanta Yuan’an didn’t like Ruiping Great Elder Princess’s praise of Shao Wanru. Thinking of what had happened between her and Shao Wanru back then, she felt much aggrieved.

She didn’t like Shao Wanru at all.

“Grandma, which one of them do you think that has framed me?” Infanta Yuan’an had a lot weighing on her mind, and her forehead hurt faintly. Although she had taken Doctor Qiu’s medicine, it still hurt a lot, and she was inexplicably annoyed. “I’ll be the future Princess Zhou. With so many cheap women in Prince Zhou’s Mansion, how could I bear it?

“I got so disgraced. I want to kill them one by one, but they all have noble status, so it will not be convenient for me to make all of them get into trouble at once.

“When I find out who did this, I’ll not let that person off.”

“Both of them are likely to have done it. At present, it seems to be Zhang Qilan. We’ll wait and see, and we can’t act rashly. Go and see Princess Yuyan later and apologize to her. It will be much more convenient for you two to join hands! Relax, she won’t do anything to you. She is also a villain now. She can’t gain a foothold in the capital without any help.”

Ruiping Great Elder Princess sneered.

“That girl is just the princess of a small savage country, and she’s much inferior to my granddaughter. The princess of a small country is the worst. She even arrogantly thinks that she’s so great that she wants to control the wives of several princes and plot against them. She doesn’t even know her place. Now she has become the wife of Commandery Prince Qing, whose identity is unclear.

“I don’t know if she’s a princess, a secondary legal wife, or a consort.

“And she’s going to please Commandery Prince Qing, whom everyone despises the most. This is hilarious!

“Compared with my granddaughter, Princess Yuyan ended up in a more down-and-out situation. In this case, what right does Princess Yuyan have to dislike my granddaughter? So what if she doesn’t believe her?”

Infanta Yuan’an gritted her teeth and said, “I got it, Grandma. Don’t worry. I’ll go to her mansion to apologize to Princess Yuyan and make things clear. We can’t be set up for nothing. We have to get our prestige back.” The more she thought about it, the more resentful she became. How could she get involved in this matter that made her look like this?

After listening to her grandmother’s analysis, she also felt that Zhang Qilan was most likely to be the culprit.

Compared with Zhang Qilan, Shao Wanru was a little inferior. On the one hand, Infanta Yuan’an felt that she just relied on a man. At that time, Prince Chen had not come yet, so Shao Wanru could not rely on him even if she wanted to. On the other hand, Infanta Yuan’an felt that Prime Minister Zhang took action to completely reverse the situation. Now that the matter had come to this point, Zhang Qilan was unscathed and was the biggest winner. Even if Shao Wanru took action, it was impossible for Zhang Qilan to win so much.

Infanta Yuan’an was not reckless at that time. What her grandmother said was right. They should investigate the matter carefully first and then deal with the person who wanted to hurt them.

In fact, Infanta Yuan’an’s injury was not so serious. She deliberately said that her injury was quite serious in order to avoid punishment back then. After Ruiping Great Elder Princess asked someone to help her clean it up, she asked several servant girls and old maids to escort her to the Princess’ Mansion.

The carriage of Ruiping Great Elder Princess’s Mansion slowly left the mansion without alarming anyone. In the past few days, Ruiping Great Elder Princess had been coming and going to the Palace from time to time, and everyone was used to it.

The carriage moved forward in a low profile and happened to pass by a teahouse. Shao Wanru was sitting in the teahouse and drinking tea. Looking at the carriage passing by below, she rolled her eyes and showed a smile on her cherry lips. This was an important intersection of Ruiping Great Elder Princess’s Mansion to the two Princess’ Mansion.

If people were going to the Palace, they would not have come in this direction.

“Chu Liuchen said that Ruiping Great Elder Princess couldn’t remain calm. Now it seems to be true. Needless to say, it must be Infanta Yuan’an who is going to the Princess’s Mansion. It doesn’t matter if it’s not her. I just need to sit and watch them do what they are doing.”

After Shao Wanru gently waved her hand, Yujie, who was at the entrance of the street below, had already understood her meaning. At this time, she also saw the carriage. According to the previous preparation, she pulled down the lantern hanging at the door of the teahouse and said angrily, “This is bullying. It is obviously our master who took a fancy to the lantern first. Why are you giving it to this Miss?”

There were self-righteous and unruly Young Madams from aristocratic families at such a street entrance. She didn’t need to deliberately look for one. There was such a Miss in front of her, who really wanted to snatch the lantern that Yujie fancied just now.
