Medical Princess-Chapter 1218 - Her Relationship With the Two Princes

Chapter 1218 Her Relationship With the Two Princes

Shao Wanru and Chu Liuchen didn’t stay any longer in Marquis Xing’s Mansion. After checking on Old Madam and asking about the imperial physician, they left Marquis Xing’s Mansion and went back to Prince Chen’s Mansion.

They met the carriage of Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion at the gate. Judging from the style of the carriage, it was Chu Qing’s carriage.

Shao Wanru slowly put down the curtain in her hand and leaned back silently. After that, she was pulled into the arms of Chu Liuchen by the side.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Liuchen asked with a trace of gentleness in his voice. Although Shao Wanru looked calm, he knew that she was upset.

“Old Madam had a stroke. Shao Jie’er made her angry,” Shao Wanru said slowly. This was the news that Nanny Yu found an opportunity to send to her.

It was expected and reasonable.

It had been decided when she sent Shao Jie’er to Marquis Xing’s Mansion back then.

Chu Liuchen raised his eyebrows and said casually, “So what?”

“Don’t you think… it has something to do with me?” Shao Wanru said in a dull voice. She had an indescribable feeling. It was not because of Old Madam’s stroke. At the very beginning when Old Madam had a stroke out of anger, Shao Wanru was the cause. She had no affection for Old Madam. She would rather not have such a grandmother.

“The Old Madam of Marquis Xing’s Mansion is not only mean but also vicious. She now has the best ending she can have. If I take action, she won’t end up so well.” Chu Liuchen snorted coldly, pulled Shao Wanru into his arms, and hugged her waist tighter.

If it weren’t for the fact that Shao Wanru had always said that she would do it herself, something would have happened to Old Madam long ago. She wouldn’t have had the chance to stir up trouble in Marquis Xing’s Mansion.

“She is my father’s mother!” Shao Wanru said in a low voice that only she could hear.

It was just that her father’s mother was not her biological grandmother.

Chu Liuchen had been paying attention to Shao Wanru. When he heard what she said, his eyes were cold and gloomy. “She is partial to her second son and might have even intervened in his killing of her eldest son. Even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs. A person like her can hardly absolve herself from the blame even if she dies.”

Shao Wanru wanted to say something, but she didn’t know where to start. Her face was slightly pale. The matter of Old Madam was the last thing she wanted to mention. It was almost what she cared about the most in her two lives.

Leaning in the arms of Chu Liuchen and feeling the temperature of his undulating chest, she gradually calmed down. She closed her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes fluttered a few times. They were as long as elegant fans, but with a little trance.

He knew very well the feelings of being betrayed by family.

He reached out and patted Shao Wanru gently on her slender back from time to time. The feeling of being spoiled made Shao Wanru gradually calm down.

Maybe at the very beginning, she had yearned for Old Madam’s love for her. But with the understanding of Old Madam, she no longer had that wishful thinking.

They were worse than strangers and were even enemies.

Shao Wanru would never show mercy to her enemies. Although Old Madam didn’t necessarily know that Shao Jing had killed Shao Wanru’s father, she must know something about it. Even so, she still stood up for Shao Jing wholeheartedly and watched Madam Jiang and Shao Jing hurt Shao Wanru and Hao’er without doing anything. Shao Wanru would rather not have such maternal love.

“Although she is my father’s biological mother, she has nothing to do with me.”

Under her long eyelashes, her watery eyes were dark as if they had attracted all the light. It was filled with a burning hatred that could destroy this fake kinship that she despised.

“Old Madam, Madam Jiang, and Shao Jing will all pay for what they have done.”

Shao Wanru had fallen asleep at some point. She was still in a daze when getting out of the carriage. Chu Liuchen got out of the carriage with her in his arms, and the servants on both sides lowered their heads one by one. Since Princess Chen came to the mansion, Prince Chen’s style of doing things had changed.

In a pavilion of Prince Chen’s Mansion, Prince Cheng frowned tightly and watched Chu Liuchen go in with Shao Wanru in his arms while he thought about something.

Although his pavilion was a little higher than an average one, it was not the highest. It was adjacent to some of the surrounding pavilions, and the reason why he could observe more clearly than he did in other places was that his pavilion was closer to the front.

“Your Highness, Prince Chen really treats my Fifth Sister differently. Have you ever seen Prince Chen be so considerate of a girl?”

A delicate voice came from the side of Prince Cheng. Shao Yanru, who was dressed in a gorgeous light yellow coat, was delicate and charming. The eight-piece long dress set off her slender waist.

Prince Cheng turned to look at her. She deserved to be called the most gorgeous woman. Perhaps she was only second to Princess Chen. Even if he didn’t care much about women, he had to admit that Princess Chen was exceedingly beautiful and had more natural purity than Shao Yanru.

Fortunately, he didn’t care much about a woman’s appearance.

He reached out to hold Shao Yanru in his arms, lowered his head, and looked at her face with deep eyes. He could not see any emotion in them. He could only see that there were fewer wrinkles in her eyebrows.

“Chu Liuchen loves Shao Wanru so much?”

“You can say that. I’m afraid that you don’t know that Prince Chen has taken a fancy to my Fifth Sister a long time ago. But at that time, she was still young. I don’t know what agreement Rui’an Great Elder Princess had made with him so that he was so devoted to my Fifth Sister.” Shao Yanru leaned on Prince Cheng and clung to him tightly.

Prince Cheng took a step back, pushed Shao Yanru away, and sat down on a chair beside her. “This was planned before. They’re together because of Rui’an Great Elder Princess?”

Shao Yanru lowered her head and said with a slight blush, “It should be because of her. Of course, it’s also because of my Fifth Sister. Prince Chen used to… treat me well. Since my Fifth Sister got back, he… no longer pretends to be nice to me.” It seemed that she was really embarrassed to say that Chu Liuchen had once been interested in her.

Prince Cheng glanced at Shao Yanru with unclear eyes and said, “Tell me what happened between you, Prince Zhou, and Prince Yue. Can you order them now?”

Shao Yanru looked slightly pale. She now belonged to Prince Cheng, so she did not dare to think about being with other men. She hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Your Highness. I have nothing to do with them anymore. In fact, I had nothing to do with them before either. It’s just that they… treated me well. As an official’s daughter, I dare not do anything inappropriate. They may have misunderstood something!”

She couldn’t have Prince Cheng find out about the ambiguous relationship between her, Chu Liuyue, and Chu Liuzhou.

Shao Yanru had not taken it seriously before she got in touch with Prince Cheng directly, but now things were different.

Prince Cheng reached out to pull Shao Yanru into his arms and said gently, “I don’t care about what happened in the past. You were still young at that time. You’re young to me. I will dote on you from now on!”

Shao Yanru looked not as pale as before. She was afraid that Prince Cheng would ask her about her relationship with Chu Liuzhou and Chu Liuyue at the same time. Since Prince Cheng did not ask, it would be the best.

She took the initiative to lean on him. “Don’t worry, Your Highness. I will only be your woman from now on and I will only think of you.”

“Find a way to send a message to Chu Liuzhou and Chu Liuyue, telling them that the throne will be passed to Chu Liuchen,” Prince Cheng said noncommittally. He was annoyed now. He was implicated in Shao Jing’s matter. “Shao Jing is also useless. He can’t even deal with Madam Jiang, which had my manpower exposed. And now Chu Qing is involved.

“My side is now in chaos. It will be bad if the matter of the junior official gets found out. Although I’ll not necessarily be interrogated, it will make my brother more suspicious of me. This is truly troublesome.

“I just want to keep hiding in the dark while getting my business done. When I have no choice but to appear in front of everyone, I’ll have to make sure that Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou are all in trouble by then. My brother will run out of his options, and the throne shall be mine.”

Shao Yanru clenched her fists and subconsciously pulled the clothes of Prince Cheng. She said, “Your Highness… Prince Zhou, Prince Yue, and I…”

She wanted to say that Chu Liuzhou and Chu Liuyue were not very close to her, but when she saw Prince Cheng’s cold eyes, she held back. Just because he didn’t care about her relationship with those two didn’t mean that he didn’t know anything. Her father had said that if she didn’t perform well, she would have nothing to do with Prince Cheng when he ascended to the throne in the future.

“Your Highness, don’t worry. I will find a way to send the message,” Shao Yanru said softly. She took the initiative to stick close to Prince Cheng and pressed her chest against his.

How could Prince Cheng not know what she was up to? She was such a beautiful woman, who was so active and had infinite teasing intentions in her words and deeds. He reached out his hand, which slipped to the front of her clothes. “Go and see them!”

Shao Yanru blushed and almost didn’t hear what he said clearly. She said with her watery eyes full of charm, “Your… Your Highness…”

“I won’t mind if you go to meet them. They should know that you are still on their side,” Prince Cheng said with a smile. He moved his hands slightly, which made Shao Yanru cry out in a sweet voice. She looked at Prince Cheng affectionately with her eyes full of tenderness.

Prince Cheng laughed out loud, carried Shao Yanru to the bed behind the screen, and threw her on the bed.

The clothes on the bed were in a mess.

After a long while, the noise on the couch disappeared. Prince Cheng stood up, tidied up his clothes slightly, and said casually, “I will come to see you later. You will hide here first. No one will think that you are hiding near Prince Chen’s Mansion.”

“Your Highness…” Shao Yanru looked up at Prince Cheng and saw that he had pushed the door open. She bit her lip and clenched her fists in hatred. She was the legitimate daughter of Marquis Xing, not some prostitute, but Prince Cheng did whatever he wanted to her. “Shao Wanru got me into this. That bitch…”

Prince Cheng went downstairs and washed his hands carefully in the basin that Xile handed over. He washed his hands very carefully as if he was trying to get rid of something particularly dirty. He lowered his head so that his face could not be seen clearly.

“Your Highness, you’d better go back and take a shower!” Looking at the pavilion above, Xile couldn’t help reminding Prince Cheng.
