Chapter 932 Obey the Order to Fight

Shao Wanru was more and more favored by the Empress Dowager. She could not only understand her hints but also cooperate with her. Most importantly, she was sincere.

The Empress Dowager had been flattered by many people. She had been the Empress Dowager for so many years and had always been superior from the previous dynasty to the present. Although there was the Empress in the harem, the power in the harem had always been in the hands of the Empress Dowager. Even if she was not in charge of things, the imperial concubines would come to ingratiate themselves with her.

If the Empress Dowager was willing to meet people, the Palace of Benevolent Peace would always be crowded.

The imperial concubines in the harem had different characteristics. Some were beautiful, intelligent, clever, or eloquent, others were delicate or charming. But in the Empress Dowagers mind, they were all the same. They were all ingratiating themselves with her so that they could have better access to the Emperor.

However, she had a different feeling towards Shao Wanru. Shao Wanru was virtuous. Although part of this feeling was because of Chu Liuchen, the Empress Dowager genuinely felt that Shao Wanru was close to her. It was the kind of closeness that juniors had towards their elders.

This had nothing to do with personal interest.

Your maternal grandma will arrive soon. Dont go back now. Sit down and listen to what we are going to talk about! The Empress Dowager said with a smile.

What is my maternal grandma doing here? Shao Wanru was certainly happy to see Ruian Great Elder Princess, but she was still very surprised that she would come to the palace at this time.

Judging from the Empress Dowagers words, she should have specially summoned her maternal grandma to the palace.

Guess why? The Empress Dowager asked in a good mood.

Shao Wanrus lips curved in a smile as she said, Is it about Commandery Prince Qing?

What had happened before was about Commandery Prince Qing. The Empress Dowager should have summoned her and her maternal grandma at the same time. She arrived a little earlier through the side door, while her grandma arrived a little late through the main door as she had taken a detour.

Why would I summon your maternal grandma because of Commandery Prince Qing? He has nothing to do with your maternal grandma. The Empress Dowager didnt expect Shao Wanru to be so smart. She became more interested in her and deliberately asked this question.

Imperial Grandmother invited my maternal grandma here because of Old Madam? Shao Wanru asked tentatively with a smile in her watery eyes, looking like a cunning child.

You are so clever! The Empress Dowager reached out her finger, knocked on Shao Wanrus forehead gently, and said to her with a smile.

Shao Wanru rubbed her forehead gently and said with a little grievance, Imperial Grandmother, I guessed right. But instead of rewarding me, you punished me. Its so unfair!

When the Empress Dowager talked to her in a pleasant manner, Shao Wanru had already regarded her as Old Madam Qin in her heart. So she said those affectionate words naturally, as if she was her real granddaughter, which made the Empress Dowager burst into laughter.

She is a really adorable child.

However, she is also a poor child. Her biological parents couldnt take care of her, and her grandmother didnt treat her as a descendant at all. Seeing that I was kind to her, she proactively got close to me. She is both smart and piteous. What was Old Madam of Marquis Xings Mansion thinking? She didnt care about such a good granddaughter but cared about those shameless people instead.

Not only is Old Madam shortsighted, but she is also too coldhearted, The Empress Dowager thought to herself.

Empress Dowager, Ruian Great Elder Princess has arrived! A eunuch came in and reported.

Let her in! The Empress Dowager raised her hand and said.

After a while, the eunuch ushered Ruian Great Elder Princess in. Seeing Shao Wanru, the Great Elder Princess was also very surprised. She bowed to the Empress Dowager and then sat down.

Shao Wanru hurriedly got up and bowed to Ruian Great Elder Princess.

Lets sit down together! The Great Elder Princess reached out to take Shao Wanrus hand and sat down with her.

Shao Wanru had only been married for a few days, so she hadnt visited the Great Elder Princess yet. She had to stay in her husbands house most of the time, except when she went back to her parents house.

Shao Wanru had originally decided to visit the Great Elder Princesss Mansion in a few days. Unexpectedly, she met her in the Palace of Benevolent Peace, which made her both surprised and happy.

With the Great Elder Princess taking her hand, she smiled gently, looking a little like a girl spending time with her elders.

She would only show such a charming manner in front of the elders who really loved her.

She had always been delicate, but she used to look cold and distant, which made her look composed at such a young age, lacking the young girls unique pettishness and charm.

But now she had shown that part. She looked like an ordinary girl, which made people love her tenderly from their hearts.

Is everything alright with you and Prince Chen these days? With the Empress Dowager present, the Great Elder Princess couldnt play straight, so she could only ask Shao Wanru implicitly. However, her question was unnecessary. Chu Liuchen promised her that he would never hurt Zhuozhuo or make her live as a widow at such a young age. At her question, Shao Wanrus face turned red instantly. The shyness on her face all showed that she was living a good life.

The Great Elder Princess felt relieved.

Grandma, we are fine! Shao Wanru blushed and lowered her head. Being stared at by the two elders with burning eyes, she felt that she could not bear it. After all, she was not as cheeky as Chu Liuchen.

Its good that you two are fine. I heard that you went to Marquis Xings Mansion again today. What were you doing there? You are now married, so you can live a good life with Prince Chen from now on. The affairs of Marquis Xings Mansion have nothing to do with you. They didnt treat you as a family in the past, so you dont have to care about them. They have treated you badly before, how dare they have the nerves to ask you for help!? The Great Elder Princess sneered and said rudely.

She really hated the people from Marquis Xings Mansion. Starting with Old Madam of Marquis Xings Mansion, she disliked every one of them. Of course, her grandson and granddaughter were different from those people.

Grandma, its about Commandery Prince Qing! Shao Wanru said implicitly. Since the Empress Dowager had asked her maternal grandma to come over, she must have something to say. She could not become the center of attention.

Empress Dowager, why did you summon me here? Is it because of Marquis Xings Mansion? Ruian Great Elder Princess nodded and turned to the Empress Dowager. The eunuch who read the imperial edict had told her that it was because Commandery Prince Qing went to Marquis Xings Mansion, but she didnt know the specific details.

Great Elder Princess, Wanru is now the legal wife of Chener. Marquis Xings Mansion should not always ask for help from Wanru. Its inconvenient for me to say it, but its convenient for you to do so! The Empress Dowager didnt intend to be reserved and said straight.

She didnt want Shao Wanru to be involved in the affairs of Marquis Xings Mansion and got Chu Liuchen involved at that time.

The Emperor increasingly disliked Marquis Xing Shao Jing. He even got angry the other day at her palace and called Shao Jing a villain.

If the next generation of Marquis Xings Mansion was good-for-nothing, Marquis Xings Mansion would be deposed. The Emperor disliked Marquis Xings Mansion very much now.

First, it was Shao Yanru, and then it was Shao Huaans wedding. The Emperor was satisfied with all these things, and they were Shao Jings children. It was said that they had the best reputations before.

Of course, Shao Jings wife, who had an excellent reputation, was now proved to be kind on the outside but selfish and vicious on the inside.

The Emperor was not satisfied with anyone in Marquis Xings Mansion now. The next generation of Marquis Xings Mansion started with Shao Huaan, but the Emperor disliked Shao Huaan because of what had happened on the wedding day.

The Empress Dowager was afraid that once Marquis Xings Mansion lost its power and influence, Shao Wanru would be involved. This was extremely unfavorable to Chu Liuchen.

Empress Dowager, do you want me to make trouble in Marquis Xings Mansion about this matter? Ruian Great Elder Princess understood the Empress Dowagers meaning as soon as she heard this. She sat up straight and asked.

She was happy to do this kind of thing. She had disliked Old Madam of Marquis Xings Mansion for a long time!

We should expose todays matter and let people see that Old Madam forced Wanru to do this. Wanru has married into Prince Chens Mansion and has nothing to do with Marquis Xings Mansion. She has not been raised in Marquis Xings Mansion. She has been framed again and again before, so she has no feelings for Marquis Xings Mansion. In the future, shed better stay away from Marquis Xings Mansion, in case Prince Chens Mansion gets involved again! Ruian Great Elder Princess said.

The Empress Dowager nodded. She had come up with this idea just now. Shao Wanru did not need her familys resources, but she could not be pestered by Marquis Xings Mansion. As a junior, she could not say these words. How could she say such unfilial words?

However, Ruian Great Elder Princess could do that. She had been at odds with Old Madam of Marquis Xings Mansion. Even if she exposed this matter now, others would not say anything about her. On the contrary, they would get to know Marquis Xings Mansions selfish behavior. In the future, Marquis Xings Mansion could not use Prince Chens Mansion to achieve its goals.

Marquis Xings Mansion had been leveraging filial piety to make Shao Wanru submit to their intentions.

Since Shao Wanru was the girl chosen by Chu Liuchen, and that had not changed for three years, the Empress Dowager knew that Chu Liuchen favored Shao Wanru, so she had to protect her for him.

She would not let Marquis Xings Mansion ruin her reputation!

There was a good opportunity at the moment. There would be such an opportunity in the future. Of course, the Empress Dowager would not let Shao Wanru cut off her ties with Marquis Xings Mansion immediately. However, after a few more incidents like this happened, Marquis Xings Mansion could no longer leverage righteousness and order Shao Wanru at will.

Empress Dowager, I understand. Ill go now, in case a long delay causes trouble! Ruian Great Elder Princesss eyes lit up. This time was different. She had the Empress Dowager support her and was not afraid of the imperial censor speaking evil of her in front of the Emperor. She stood up and felt that this matter could not be delayed.

You are in such a hurry! The Empress Dowager burst into laughter.

I am indeed in a hurry. I have waited for this day for more than ten years! Speaking of this, Ruian Great Elder Princess thought of her daughter and son-in-law who had died young, and her eyes turned red. If she could, she really wanted to go and fight with the vicious Old Madam of Marquis Xings Mansion to vent her anger that had been held back for so many years!
