Chapter 433 The Best End-result and the Naturally Formed Hostile Parties
When Qin Huaiyong arrived at Xinning Pavilion, Old Madam Qin was waiting for him when sitting in the main room. Later, she waved hands and let all servants leave.
Nanny Duan was at the rear of those servants. Looking at Madam Dowager's face, she took a deep sigh and helped them close the door lightly.
"Why didn't you tell the truth?" In the room, Madam Dowager asked directly.
Although she asked in a quite baffling way, Qin Huaiyong still understood what she was asking. He raised his head and said in a bitter way, "Mother, Yuru is my daughter, my only daughter. Even though she has committed so many mistakes, I cannot let her go astra. She can't undertake the accusation of the imposture!"
Qin Huaiyong was clear that Madam Dowager was blaming him for not telling the truth and not telling them the former Heir of Duke Xing died because he tried to save Qin Huaiyong. In order to thank him for saving Qin Huaiyong's life, he then decided to raise Qin Wanru.
It was the right thing for Qin Huaiyong to raise Qin Wanru as the former Heir of Duke Xing sacrificed his life to save Qin Huaiyong's life. Thus, actually it could not say it was because Qin Huaiyong tried to repay the former Heir of Duke Xing's sacrifice that he decided to adopt Qin Wanru. He should do this.
Since it was because the former Heir of Duke Xing saved Qin Huaiyong that the latter adopted Qin Wanru, then it was reasonable for Qin Wanru not to repay the so-called kindness of Qin's Mansion and this "kindness" actually could not counteract what Qin Yuru had done. It was because of Qin Wanru's generosity that Duke Xing's Mansion and Rui'an Great Elder Princess decided not to hold Qin Yuru accountable and that Qin Yuru could go back to Qin's Mansion without being punished.
Due to Qin Wanru's real identity, Duke Xing's Mansion and Rui'an Great Elder Princess both would not forget the care and upbringing of Qin's Mansion.
His answer silenced Madam Dowager. A depressing silence reigned on the room. "She is your daughter," Madam Dowager said slowly, "but Ruolan is going to give birth. However, no matter we will have a boy or a girl, are you going to let your child carry a bad reputation because of Yuru?"
For Madam Dowager, Madam Di could hardly absolve herself from the blame as Qin Yuru kept causing troubles again and again, and even led to irremediable faults. But what about Qin Huaiyong? Was he innocent? No! It was because he pampered his only daughter that he allowed her to do these things to some extent.
Had he punished his only daughter severely in Jiangzhou when she committed the mistake for the first time, she would have not become like this. Anyway, Qin Huaiyong was partly to blame because he mollycoddled Qin Yuru.
When it came to Shui Ruolan's unborn child, Qin Huaiyong was hard to answer. He now was totally disappointed at Qin Yuru. However, since he had always been thinking that Qin Yuru was his only child, he would try to help her and would not really punish her even though his daughter made many mistakes.
As regards those punishments, it could not be considered as punishments actually. Qin Huaiyong was also clear about this.
However, even though he was aware of this, he was still unable to punish his daughter because he loved his only daughter.
Making up his mind finally, Qin Huaiyong closed his eyes and replied, "Mother, this will not happen anymore. I will arrange her marriage with Di Yan as soon as possible. No matter what she may encounter in the future, it is Madam Di who leads to the situation."
Qin Huaiyong really didn't want to care about Qin Yuru no matter whether he would have another daughter in the near future. In terms of Madam Di and Qin Yuru, he could not change their nature. He had to let Qin Yuru marry Di Yan successfully and he had to complete the task as fast as he could. Otherwise, there might be other troubles.
Duke Yong's Mansion now was her best end-result!
"Old Madam of Duke Yong's Mansion today is also there. Although she said nothing, she saw what happened there. Do you still think it possible that she will tolerate the result?" Madam Dowager didn't think this would be a good idea. In consideration of Qin Yuru's situation, it would be better for her not to marry anyone but to turn her mind wholeheartedly toward Buddha, which could prevent her from hurting anyone else.
"I understand you, mother. However, does Duke Yong's Mansion really have nothing to do with this situation? Madam Di is Old Madam of Duke Yong's Mansion's daughter. The reason why Madam Di can commit so many crimes must be that Duke Yong's Mansion is behind these schemes. Moreover, it is because of Duke Yong's Mansion that Madam Di and Yuru have become like this. Thus, it is the only end-result for Yuru!"
Qin Huaiyong looked fierce. Thinking of what Madam Di and Qin Yuru had done for these days, he got angry.
It could say that the reason why Madam Di and Qin Yuru dared to do these things again and again was that Duke Yong's Mansion was supporting them. Without it, they would not have dared to be so wanton.
Madam Dowager had known Qin Huaiyong since he was born and thus, she was familiar with his thinking mode. Even though she was mad at him because he hid the truth related to Qin Wanru, she could not find fault with his arrangement for Qin Yuru now.
"Countess Yong will not admit this!" She remarked.
Even if Old Madam of Duke Yong's Mansion might acknowledge these things and allowed Qin Yuru to marry Di Yan, Countess Yong and Di Yan might not agree given their current attitudes.
Old Madam of Duke Yong's Mansion might not be able to let them agree on the decision.
"Don't worry, mother. They must admit these matters and let Yuru marry into their mansion in any case!" Qin Huaiyong had made up his mind inwardly. He had been angry about what Duke Yong's Mansion had done but he had tried to be tolerant and didn't vent his anger.
He did love his daughter. However, it was Di Yan who made her daughter become like this. Had Countess Yong not tantalized them with Di Yan's marriage, Madam Di and Qin Yuru would not have harbored any delusion and would not have let Qin Yuru give up her marriage with Qi Tianyu and even plotted against Qin Wanru.
Without them, all these things would not have happened.
It could say that Qin Yuru now was totally ruined, so no matter what Duke Yong's Mansion thought about this thing, they had to admit it and let her marry into their mansion.
Seeing Qin Huaiyong was so firmed, Madam Dowager had to allow him to do what he planned when she failed in persuading him not to do this. Watching Qin Huaiyong leaving, Madam Dowager felt helpless and took a deep sigh.
In her mind, it would be better for Qin Yuru to accept the spiritualization in front of the Buddha since she was so cranky. Good things would not happen if she married into Duke Yong's Mansion in this way.
However, she could do nothing to stop Qin Huaiyong when he had determined to do this thing. Had she been Qin Huaiyong's biological mother but not his legal mother, she could have accused him of hiding the truth about Qin Wanru's origin.
Madam Dowager had been watching the show in Duke Xing's Mansion while she knew what the truth was. Thus, she saw most of the game as an outsider today.
Given Qin Huaiyong's reaction and those words, did he really know nothing about what Qin Yuru and Madam Di did?
In a gale of indescribable coldness, she thought she had always considered Qin Huaiyong as a man who didn't care about things of inner courtyard and mollycoddled Madam Di and Qin Yuru while she had been raising him for years. However, she suddenly could not figure out what her son was thinking about.
"Madam Dowager, don't be sad. Since First Miss Qin is our general's biological daughter, he will not allow First Miss Qin to be punished without doing anything!"
Nanny Duan came in with a cup of hot tea and replaced the cup of tea Madam Dowager put on the table.
Madam Dowager had made a cup of tea when she came into the room. However, she kept staring at it without saying anything. Thus, the cup of tea must have turned cool.
"It is unfair of Zhuozhuo!" Madam Dowager sighed.
"Madam Dowager, Second Miss Qin must understand. When you were in Duke Xing's Mansion, Second Miss asked you not to say anything, didn't she? I suppose Second Miss must hope you not to interfere with the matter and must fear that the matter will estrange you and our general." Nanny Duan said to her softly as she knew what Madam Dowager was worrying about.
As Qin Huaiyong was not her biological son, it was inconvenient for her to tell something to him.
As regards the decision to punish First Miss, Madam Dowager would get speechless if the general said she was his only biological daughter. Since Madam Dowager was unrelated to First Miss by blood, it seemed easy for her to say these words.
Madam Dowager got red-rimmed eyes. She had raised her little granddaughter for years but it seemed that she would not come back to her anymore.
"Will Zhuozhuo be fine?" Madam Dowager asked with worry.
After the matter, Rui'an Great Elder Princess and Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion both excluded her. She had witnessed the whole process. It seemed that Duke Xing's Mansion wasn't nice. As regards Qin Yuru's matter, without Duke Xing's Mansion's help, would she really succeed in taking Wanru's identity?
"Don't worry, Madam Dowager. Since Second Miss has always been so clever, she will be fine. Besides, Rui'an Great Elder Princess is there with her!" Nanny Duan tried to comfort Madam Dowager. She knew Madam Dowager was worrying about Second Miss and was afraid that Second Miss would be at a disadvantage in Duke Xing's Mansion. Nanny Duan's thought was the same as Madam Dowager's and she believed that Duke Xing's Mansion wasn't innocent.
However, Second Miss' father was born there and thus, it was certain for her to come back to Duke Xing's Mansion.
"Duke Xing's Mansion is not a good place for her. If she can go to Rui'an Great Elder Princess' Mansion, that will be great." Madam Dowager took a deep sigh. "Not to mention Madam of Duke Xing, Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion dislikes Zhuozhuo. How, how can she go through this? She is only a child and she must be suppressed by the whole Duke Xing's Mansion!"
Madam Dowager burst into tears when she said this.
People of Duke Xing's Mansion looked friendly but actually they didn't treat Qin Wanru well and even hated her. When Madam Dowager thought of the scene that Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion repeated that she hated Qin Wanru, she felt heartbroken.
It was known that every miss of aristocratic family lived in the inner courtyard. However, if Madam of Duke Xing and Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion who were in charge of the inner courtyard both treated her badly, how could she live?
Since she had no parent and Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion and Madam of Duke Xing both were hostile to her, she might live a worse life in Duke Xing's Mansion than her life in Qin's Mansion. Thinking of this, Madam Dowager could not help feeling sad.
Had she thought of this, she would not have let Duke Xing's Mansion accept Qin Wanru.
Seeing Madam Dowager was immersed in sorrow, Nanny Duan continued to comfort her. It took a very long time for her to help Madam Dowager calm down. Since the thing had become like this, they could do nothing to change it. Thus, they had to wait and see.
Madam Dowager still worried Qin Wanru so she asked Nanny Duan to get information outside.
On the one hand, Madam Dowager did this because she was afraid that Qin Wanru might live a bad life in Duke Xing's Mansion and she wanted to know those follow-up things. On the other hand, since not many people had known this matter, which not only might be involved in those past events but even might astound the whole capital city because of the complexity, Madam Dowager feared that some bad news would emerge so she wanted to prepare in advance by asking Nanny Duan to check around...
When Qin Huaiyong came back to his study room from Madam Dowager's courtyard, he sent servants to invite the Heir of Duke Yong and Duke Yong to come after he sat in his room and thought carefully. It seemed that he was going to discuss about the marriage of Qin Yuru and Di Yan.
Right now, the imperial palace was turbulent. Two eunuchs were standing fearfully by the entrance of the imperial study room, in which noises of breaking glasses kept coming out. The Emperor was in a fury...
