Medical Princess

“Who is going to escort us?” Shao Wanru asked sensitively.

“She didn’t make it clear. She just said that it’s a long way to Yuhui Nunnery. Old Madam is worried about us, so she will find some people to escort us!” Shao Jie’er stammered. At that time, she had not cared about these things at all.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with her. Now she was merely concerned about her marriage, so how could she care about other things?

“Fifth Sister, can you help me?” Shao Jie’er turned to the previous topic.

“You want to enter Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion? Have you ever asked Second Uncle’s opinion? Or he has a better choice for you?” Shao Wanru blinked and asked.

This question made Shao Jie’er fall silent for a while, and then she said uncertainly, “But… it’s impossible!”

Suddenly, she remembered something, and her eyes widened. Her father did come to see her two days ago and give her several gifts. He also cared about her health, which had never happened before.

At that time, she was so excited that she thought that Commandery Prince Qing’s marriage had been settled. Unexpectedly, it was not mentioned even in the end. Other things were mentioned back then. At that time, she didn’t pay attention to it. Now that Shao Wanru mentioned it, she immediately thought of some trivial details.

“I…”

“What did Second Uncle say?” Shao Wanru blinked and asked softly.

“He said, Prince Cheng… Prince Cheng…” Shao Jie’er’s mouth was wide open and she was in a panic. She remembered that her father had mentioned Prince Cheng the most that day and had also mentioned a few more things about Prince Cheng. He had repeatedly reminded her that Prince Cheng was a good person, and there seemed to be a deeper meaning in his father’s words

“Fifth Sister, I have something else to do, so I won’t disturb you!” And the more Shao Jie’er thought about it, the more panicked she became. The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. After saying this in a hurry, she turned around and left.

“Miss, what’s wrong with the Second Miss? How could she run away after making such a big fuss?” Yujie, who was confused, asked.

Shao Wanru shook her head and walked out. Did “Prince Cheng” mean what she thought?

Prince Cheng, who hated marriage the most, had caused such a big scene before. Did he mean that he intended to marry Shao Jie’er now?

This man might have reached an agreement with her Second Uncle so that her Second Uncle would have such an idea. With her Second Uncle’s personality, if he had not told the truth in front of Prince Cheng, he would not have revealed it to Shao Jie’er.

Third Uncle’s idea should coincide with Second Uncle’s. That was why Shao Jie’er heard the changes in her marriage, but she didn’t know if Chu Qing was satisfied with it.

It was obvious that Chu Qing was scheming. It was not a good thing for him to marry the Miss who got her face disfigured.

It was not that easy to deal with such a complicated matter. What would her uncles do to satisfy him?

She didn’t expect that she could go to the Yuhui Nunnery so soon. Old Madam especially sent someone to tell her that they go up the mountain with the family members of Lord Zhao, the minister of the Ministry of Works.

Because they happened to be going to the Yuhui Nunnery to worship Buddha, so Old Madam asked Shao Wanru and Shao Jie’er to go with them.

Shao Wanru and her sister dressed up early in the morning. After saying goodbye to Old Madam, they sat in the carriage of Duke Xing’s Mansion and waited at the city gate, waiting for the carriage of Zhao’s Mansion to come over, and then they would leave the city together.

They got up early, but it was already very lively at the gate of the city. After the city was opened, people kept coming in from outside the city. Shao Wanru felt that it was too lively, so she asked the sedan bearer to carry them to a corner facing the city gate, and then she sent a family member to wait at the gate. If he saw the carriage of the Zhao’s Mansion, he would immediately come to inform her.

Shao Wanru and Shao Jie’er sat in the big carriage in the front, and the two servant girls were in the rear carriage in which there were incenses. On the surface, they were also going to worship the Buddha. Since they had to go to the Yuhui Nunnery, they could worship Buddha.

Shao Jie’er was full of worries. She sat there and lowered her head, thinking about something. She was in turn happy and sad, which made Shao Wanru frown secretly. It seemed that Shao Jing really had other plans. Shao Jie’er also thought of something, so she was not in a panic as she was that day.

It was true that Prince Cheng had more power than others. After Chu Qing was recognized, he basically did nothing, and he was not favored by the Empress Dowagers as others had imagined, even though he was the son of the former emperor.

The Empress Dowager seemed to have given all her love to Chu Liuchen. Even though Chu Qing was also the son of the former emperor, he held no special position in Empress Dowager’s heart. Moreover, he had not been raised by Empress Dowager since he was a child so she had no special feelings for him. She treated him as an ordinary family member.

Prince Cheng was different. Empress Dowager was really concerned about Prince Cheng. She had intended to grant this man a marriage before. Although he was unwilling to do so, in the current situation, since he didn’t become a monk, He was ought to get married. If he took a fancy to a woman, the Empress Dowager would be extremely happy.

Not only would that woman win Prince Cheng’s favor, but she would also solve the big problem of Empress Dowager and the Emperor. From this point of view, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor must also like her.

Shao Jie’er’s current behavior was quite thought-provoking. It seemed that what Shao Yanru thought was true?

Shao Yanru hesitated between Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou, but Shao Jing was interested in Prince Cheng. Prince Cheng, who had always been quiet and had no ambition, actually had such an intention to take Shao Jie’er in as his concubine. It could be seen that he had great ambitions hidden in his mind…

Although it was just a marriage thing between women in the family, the complication inside surprised Shao Wanru. She leaned against the window of the carriage and no longer paid attention to Shao Jie’er. She raised her shimmery eyes and looked out of the window.

The heavy curtain outside the window was lifted high, leaving only a light gauze curtain. The person sitting inside could see the scenery outside the window through the gauze curtain.

Although it was a remote corner, Shao Wanru’s window was facing a relatively quiet street. She was thinking about the possibility of Shao Jie’er entering Prince Cheng’s Mansion and Shao Caihuan entering Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion. Suddenly, someone appeared in the corner of her eyes. Her eyes widened and her body immediately stiffened.

“Fifth Sister, what’s wrong with you?” Shao Jie’er looked up and asked in surprise. Maybe her reaction was too strong. Now she had regained her calmness and was no longer helpless as before. She raised her chin slightly and looked noble again. She was indeed like Shao Yanru, since they were sisters.

“I’m fine. Second Sister, have you thought it over?” Shao Wanru glanced at her indifferently, reached out to pull down the curtain gently, and asked in an extremely bored tone.

Shao Jie’er didn’t know how to answer this question. Now she couldn’t figure out whether it was true or not. Happiness came so suddenly that she still couldn’t come to her senses. She had to separate the words one by one and ponder on them.

Of course, she would not tell Shao Wanru her true feelings at this moment. She even regretted that she had cried to Shao Wanru in a panic that day. She had been so flustered before that she just wanted to show her weakness to Shao Wanru. Now that she thought about it, it was really shameful.

Even if Shao Wanru would be the future Princess Chen, she thought was still not inferior to Shao Wanru. If she married Prince Cheng, she would be superior to Shao Wanru and become Shao Wanru’s elder. So she didn’t really care that Shao Wanru getting married to Prince Chen.

Thinking of this, she felt regretful and ashamed. It was her aunt’s idea for her that made her lose face in front of Shao Wanru.

She snorted indifferently. “What’s there to think about? As a daughter, of course, I have to listen to my father. I’ll do as he says!”

After saying this, she closed her eyes and leaned against the carriage wall to continue thinking about something. She didn’t intend to pay attention to Shao Wanru.

Shao Wanru smiled slightly and didn’t care about Shao Jie’er’s despicable behavior. She had long known what kind of person Shao Jie’er was. When she needed you, she could trample her dignity under her feet and beg for anything by crying. Once she gained power, she would be arrogant and ignore her relatives.

In the past, she had been loyal to Shao Yanru like a dog. As soon as her master fell, she had done anything to survive. She was just like a typical hypocritic.

Her calm eyes glanced out of the window again, and she could no longer see the previous figure. The face was somewhat similar to the one in her memory, or it should be that person, but now she had entered the courtyard over there. The door was closed, so she could not see the person entering the courtyard from the position of the carriage. She could only see the dark blue clothes that flashed through her eyes.

She closed her eyes and hid the coldness and sarcasm at the bottom of her eyes. That person finally came, and it was indeed time.

The courtyard at the city gate seemed to be not small. She was heard that the man was living in an inn. Why did he come here?

The bloody truth of her last life was in front of her, but it was not hers. It was another woman. The woman jumped down from the tall building to prove her virtue. After her death, she was grieved. The imperial court even made a memorial tablet for her and demoted this talented scholar back to his original identity and asked him to live the rest of his life with the memorial tablet for his wife.

Shao Wanru didn’t know anything about what had happened later. In her last life, she had only seen this person from a distance. It was Mrs. Di who brought him here. That woman pointed at him from a distance. He looked gentle and handsome back then. Shao Wanru nodded at that time. But she didn’t expect such a thing to happen.

After that, she had never seen this man called Yanxi again.

She didn’t know why when she saw him again in this life, she would recognize him at once. It was really hard to think that such a person was not good. Although he was not very good-looking, the smile on his face looked very sincere without any falseness. Would such a man really abandon his wife and children?

Madam of Duke Xing’s distant nephew? Did it have anything to do with the Jiang family?

“Second Miss, Fifth Miss, Minister Zhao’s carriage has arrived!” A servant suddenly reported from outside the carriage door.

“Follow them!” Shao Wanru gave an order lightly.
