Chapter 1154 Satisfied, the Matter Is Finally Settled

Why are you here? Shao Wanru looked Eniang up and down and asked in a brusque tone.

Dont say such silly childish things! Where else could she be if she werent here? Your mother was lucky to have her around. She is just a servant girl but an extremely loyal one! Ruian Great Elder Princess rebuked Shao Wanru in a deep voice.

Although Ruian Great Elder Princess criticized Shao Wanru, she did it gently. She must be very affectionate toward her granddaughter and didnt want her to suffer any grievance.

It was rumored that Prince Chen valued Princess Chen mostly because of Ruian Great Elder Princess! After all, everyone could see how much Ruian Great Elder Princess loved her granddaughter.

Grandma! I think it was all over, Shao Wanru said, not taking it seriously.

Although it was in the past, I cant let it go. Ruian Great Elder Princess said, her face darkening, I wont let your mother die with injustice unredressed!

Grandma, but its been so long. You cant find out the truth about everything. How can you listen to and believe only in her words? When Ruian Great Elder Princess adhered stubbornly to this, Shao Wanru became anxious.

Well, stop talking about it. It has nothing to do with you and wont involve you. You just need to enjoy your high status as Princess Chen! Ruian Great Elder Princess was displeased, but even so, she just said a few words in an injured tone. Never had she tried to beat Shao Wanru down with her seniority as a grandma.

Eniang panicked as she listened aside. Once again, she lamented how much Ruian Great Elder Princess doted on Princess Chen. When they didnt coincide in opinion, Ruian Great Elder Princess never scolded her. She just grumbled about it and made a few mild comments.

In Eniangs judgment, Princess Chen only wanted to live a comfortable life and had no intention of taking revenge for her mothers death. If she had known this, Eniang thought she would have come straight to Ruian Great Elder Princess. Compared with Ruian Great Elder princess, Princess Chen was powerless and seemed to have no desire for revenge. When Eniang returned, she would report Princess Chens att.i.tude to Marquis Xing.

There was no need to be afraid of Princess Chen.

Marquis Xing had misjudged Princess Chen, regarding her as a key to solving their problems. But in fact, Eniang made progress only after she turned to Ruian Great Elder Princess for help.

Eniang slightly lowered her head and hid the complacency in her eyes. With profound respect and humility, she stood aside, her hands trembling and not daring to say a word.

Grandma, Sister, what are you talking about? Anything about my mother? Shao Yuanhao looked at Ruian Great Elder Princess and Shao Wanru with a puzzled look.

He is still a child. Usually, no one would tell him this kind of thing. Eniang struck upon a bright idea and stole a glance at Shao Yuanhao, who was at a loss and didnt know what was happening.

Shao Yuanhao can also be a good starting point for my further plan!

Haoer, it has nothing to do with you. You can leave now. I have something serious to talk about with your sister! Ruian Great Elder Princess said to Shao Yuanhao, smiling. She seemed to have just noticed that Shao Yuanhao was with them. It was inconvenient for them to discuss this issue with him around.

Sister Shao Yuanhao turned to Shao Wanru.

Go ahead. I do have something important to tell grandma. Just give us a moment. You rarely have time to rest and can walk in the garden. Chu Liuchen asked me to bring you some items. They are in the open s.p.a.ce beside the peach blossom grove in the garden. You will like them! Shao Wanru also said softly with a smile. Like Ruian Great Elder Princess, she also wanted Shao Yuanhao to leave.

Since his grandma and sister didnt want him to be here, Shao Yuanhao had to stand up and say, Grandma, Sister, Ill go back first. Sister, dont leave after this. I also have something good for you.

Okay, I wont leave later. I will come to see you! Shao Wanru promised with a smile.

Shao Yuanhao walked out after Shao Wanru readily agreed to his request.

As soon as Shao Yuanhao was out, the room quieted down. Ruian Great Elder Princesss face clouded over. Shao Wanru looked delicate but obviously a little stubborn. Looking around, Nanny Gao didnt know where to start, though she wanted to mediate the dispute. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly.

This awkward scene made Eniang see the situation more clearly.

Obviously, it is not the first time that they disagree with each other. Ruian Great Elder Princess and Princess Chen must have had different views on this matter since I met Princess Chen last time. At the thought of this, Eniang kept her eyes lowered, carefully hiding her numerous thoughts.

Marquis Xing told her to be careful when dealing with Princess Chen, who was shrewd and deep. Eniang could tell that Shao Wanru was difficult to deal with from their previous contact. At least, Princess Chen was more cautious and skeptical than Ruian Great Elder Princess. Even after knowing Eniang was her mothers loyal servant, she didnt let down her guard.

Compared with the others, Eniang felt it was better for her to avoid Princess Chen. She had secretly prioritized all her choices in her heart. It was the most challenging to fool Princess Chen. Then, it was Ruian Great Elder Princess. The little heir of a duke should be the best choice for her. From their att.i.tudes toward the heir of a duke, Eniang knew Ruian Great Elder Princess and Princess Chen had protected him well.

All-round protection had both its pros and cons. Under such protection, he would not be easily framed but was p.r.o.ne to be deluded. With scanty life experience, he could hardly understand all these complex twists and turns, let alone shoulder great responsibility.

Eniang An icy voice in her ear shocked Eniang. She hurriedly raised her head, not allowing herself to be distracted again.

Im here!

Eniang, you were my mothers servant girl. But I dont know how my mother saved your life back then and how you managed to serve my mother. My mother had a lot of servants. Why she had to accept you? Shao Wanru asked, eyes fixed on Eniang. Her manner was intolerably aggressive.

This was the reason why Eniang put her heart and soul into avenging Infanta Qinghuas death!

Your Grace, Your Highness. Eniang quickly composed herself. Since she mentioned the story, she was fully prepared for it. My parents died, and I became an orphan. I had been raised in my uncles house. My aunt saw that I was good-looking and planned to sell me to a brothel. When I knew that, I escaped in the middle of the night but accidentally fell into the river. My master happened to pa.s.s by and ordered someone to save me. After that, I swore to serve her with my life. My master accepted me and let me serve by her side.

Speaking of this, Eniang was full of grat.i.tude. Without her, I would have died long ago. I owe her my life. I swear to collect this blood debt for her.

Shao Wanru had been watching Eniang closely. Eniang poured out words in a steady flow, carrying herself with ease. Silently, Shao Wanru sarcastically raised the corners of her mouth. Sure enough, she is all ready to answer this question, and this matter seems to be true.

Her story applies to many questions. Even if my mother didnt want such a servant girl, she might have been moved by Eniangs insistence and let her be a servant girl. Horrifyingly, she never knew Eniang was far from being a loyal servant girl but a bloodthirsty viper!

There was an icy place covered with sharp blades of hatred at the bottom of Shao Wanrus heart. Their conspiracy mustnt have been initiated recently.

They started plotting against my mother long ago. That was why they sent such a person to serve my mother. Shao Jing learned about my parents whereabouts from her. Back then, the Duke Xings Mansion had spent so much effort looking for them but failed. However, Shao Jing secretly left the capital city and found them. How could he do that?

Shao Wanru tightly clenched her handkerchief. Then, slowly, she relaxed her grip on it, her eyes gloomy and vicious. This woman is Shao Jings accomplice. She started working for Shao long ago.

Perhaps, she is more than an ordinary p.a.w.n that was put into use long ago?

Shao Wanru was sure that nothing could prove Eniang was lying about this. Even if her mother had sent someone to check her background, they could only have found she was telling the truth. No ordinary orphan girl could do this. Shao Wanrus eyes fell on Qinger, who had been following her. Slowly, she looked away, seemingly absorbed in thought. Qinger is also an orphan. She had once told me something about her previous missions

Eniang, Zhuozhuo wants you to live a peaceful life. There is no need for you to get involved in the affairs of Marquis Xings Mansion. After all, you are the only servant left by my daughter. At least Zhuozhuo and I will take care of you. If you want to leave Shao Jing and live a new life with your daughter, we can help. Its nothing serious! said Ruian Great Elder Princess.

Your Grace, I, I must avenge my masters death. If you and Her Highness dont allow me to do so, I would rather die here now. Every day during so many years, I have been missing my former master day and night in extreme grief! Eniang shed tears again. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and looked agitated.

What about your daughter? Shao Wanru asked.

She is His Graces daughter. Marquis Xing will take care of her even if something terrible happens to me. At least, as his daughter, she wont live a worse life than me. Even if I die, it doesnt matter, said Eniang in tears. Then, she lowered her head and wiped her tears.

This time, she looked less excited. Shao Wanru glanced at her thoughtfully, her long eyelashes fluttering, but she didnt speak.

Ruian Great Elder Princess sighed gently, saying, Alright, weve known the whole thing. Theres no hurry. Ill discuss it with Princess Chen and see what status we can offer you. Anyway, I cant watch you marry into the Marquis Xings Mansion and become a concubine with inferior status. If you confront Madam Jiang with your humble status, you will have no chance of winning!

Thank you, Your Grace. Thank you, Your Highness! Eniang said gratefully and finally felt relieved.

His Grace has told me many times that without Princess Chens approval, I couldnt succeed. Ruian Great Elder Princess asked me questions before Princess Chen because she wanted Princess Chen to understand my thoughts. Since Princess Chen didnt say anything, she must have agreed to it.

Finally, I made it! A barely perceptible smile flashed across her eyes, and she seemed totally relaxed.

Next, Madam Jiang would die. Marquis Xing had promised to let her be Madam of Marquis Xing. But if Madam Jiang was still alive, Eniang would never get the chance. When Eniang thought an orphan like her could also get such a high status, she was nearly beside herself with joy.

At this point, Eniang didnt need to stay here any longer. Ruian Great Elder Princess asked a young servant girl to take Eniang away. When they were out, Ruian Great Elder Princesss face instantly darkened, and she said with a gloomy face, Zhuozhuo, this s.l.u.t betrayed her master. How should we punish her?
