Chapter 132: Who Would Care?

“Madam Di?” asked Shui Ruolan confusingly, feeling uneasy.

She also wanted to ask somebody to take charge of the housekeeping. However, just like what Qin Wanru concerned, she dared not ask Madam Di for help. She still remembered that Madam Di plotted against her that day in the General’s Mansion and even sent drunk Qin Huaiyong to her bedroom. She knew that if Madam Di took charge of the business in this mansion, she would go further and far worse. She dared not do that.

“Absolutely no!” answered Qin Wanru directly, shaking her head slightly. Madam Di was definitely not a good candidate.

Shui Ruolan raised another possibility, “Then how about Aunt Xu or Aunt Dong?” Qin Huaiyong only had two concubines who were servant girls before. When Madam Di married Qin Huaiyong, she promoted them according to the family rules in the mansion. After that, they were both well behaved.

“Mother… We can try Aunt Xu first. Compared with Aunt Dong, Aunt Xu is more familiar with the housekeeping so father prefers her. I can also give a hand to you sometimes but not too much. Madam Di can’t complain because it is reasonable for me to help you,” Qin Wanru said.

There were only these people in the mansion so it was the only plan for now.

Actually, Qin Wanru wanted to get involved in the housekeeping directly. However, she knew that it was unreasonable because her elder sister Qin Yuru did not get involved in it that was to say, she, who ranked behind Qin Yuru, had no right to take charge of the business.

And if Qin Yuru involved in the housekeeping, Madam Di would definitely take charge of everything strongly because she was Qin Yuru’s natural mother and then she would claim that it was reasonable to do that.

To avoid this situation, Qin Wanru could only give a hand to Shui Ruolan from time to time and could only help Shui Ruolan deal with her own business because she could be said to be Qin Wanru’s mother now.

Hearing what Qin Wanru said, Shui Ruolan gradually calmed down. Then Qin Wanru gave her a prescription and let Qionghua buy some medicines to cook. She also told them that if somebody asked, they should say Shui Ruolan was just not acclimatized and with Qin Wanru’s help, it was unnecessary to see other doctors outside the mansion.

Although Madam Di did not plot against her this time, it didn’t mean that she would not do that anymore.

Qin Wanru and Shui Ruolan both knew very clear that once Madam Di found out that Shui Ruolan was pregnant, she would do anything to kill the unborn baby.

Madam Di could not stand that she had no son!

After telling Shui Ruolan what to do, Qin Wanru stood up and was ready to leave because she saw Shui Ruolan getting tired.

When she just stood up, she heard a shrill cry approaching. “Madam Shui! Madam Shui! Please come and help my lady!” It seemed that a servant girl was running in tears but she did not come in the room because Shui Ruolan’s servant girls stopped her.

It sounded so familiar. Qin Wanru quickly understood what happened and sat down again with a sweet smile. She thought, “Does Qin Yuru and Qi Rongzhi have a fight again?”

She knew the fight was led by what she said before.

“See what happened,” said Shui Ruolan calmly. Since she took charge of the housekeeping, she had been more powerful than before.

Qionghua nodded and ran outside. Then she came back and said, “Madam, according to Mei Xue, Lady Qin’s servant girl, Lady Qin and Lady Qi have a fight again. Lady Qi punched Lady Qin and even screwed everything in Lady Qin’s room up. Everything is in a mess. You’d better go there and see what happened.”

“Okay, let’s go!” said Shui Ruolan. Rubbing her forehead, she knew that she had to go there because of her position in the mansion.

Qin Wanru stood up and said, “Mother, I will go with you. Be careful!” She worried about Shui Ruolan.

Shui Ruolan saw worry in Qin Wanru’s eyes and nodded in agreement.

They walked outside the room together and saw Mei Xue in the yard pitifully, with hair disheveled and scratches in her face.

Two strong maidservants stopped Mei Xue but she pushed them away and rushed up to Shui Ruolan. “Madam Shui! Madam Shui! Please help my Lady Qin!” cried Mei Xue.

Qin Wanru took a step and stopped in front of Shui Ruolan, staring at Mei Xue coldly.

Mei Xue suddenly felt flustered and stopped immediately. She dared not come closer.

“Show the way!” said Qin Wanru lightly.

When seeing Qin Wanru’s cold eyes, Mei Xue dared not continue. She wiped her tears off, turned around, and led the way for them. She glanced at Qin Wanru uneasily, thinking that when this Second Lady Qin, who was always bullied by Young Lady, had been so powerful!

When glancing at Qin Wanru, she caught a sight of Yujie and Yujie gave her a dirty look. Then she quickly turned her head.

Not only Second Lady became so powerful, but also her servant girl!

Everyone arrived at the Qin Yuru’s Yalan Pavilion, in which everything was in a mess. It seemed that people there had monitored the situation by pressing Qi Rongzhi on the desk. Madam Di sat there with a livid face and Qin Yuru covered her face, staring at Qi Rongzhi severely.

Qin Wanru thought, “So are they waiting for Shui Ruolan?” She looked at Madam Di. Her heart jolted suddenly when finding out that Madam Di’s eyes just landed on Shui Ruolan’s flat belly. She thought, “Does Madam Di know something? Will she take this opportunity to plot against Shui Ruolan?”

“It seemed that I have to play it by ear in case Madam Di would plot in secret!”

In the room, chairs and desks were knocked over, broken china scattered everywhere, and there were other things else. People even had no place to stand!

Shui Ruolan did not come into the room but asked some servants to clean up first. Then she came into the room with Qin Wanru and sat down.

“Sister, as a housekeeper, you are so inefficient. If you came later, I am afraid that Yuru would have been punched by Young Lady Qi!”

Madam Di said scornfully. When she saw Shui Ruolan, bulging her triangular eyes.

She had prepared such a perfect trap but everything just went wrong when the Princess of Duke Yangqu came. She was so angry that she could not calm down. Originally, she could take charge of the mansion if her plan to plot against Shui Ruolan succeeded. However, she didn’t expect that she had to stop the plan at the very last minute.

Feeling aggrieved and irritated, she could not talk to Shui Ruolan calmly.

Glancing at the two servants who caught Qi Rongzhi tightly, Shui Ruolan didn’t care about her manner but asked softly, “You came here very early. So what happened?”

“Madam Shui! Is this your way of hospitality? When I came here, my parents entrusted me to you and said if two families were in a good relationship, all problems could be dealt with. But now? You just caught me! Don’t you know I am the Young Lady Qi of Magistrate Mansion?”

Qi Rongzhi struggled to get free but failed because her hands were caught. She suddenly got very angry, shouted at Shui Ruolan and glared at her.

“Release her!” said Shui Ruolan.

Both two old maidservants glanced at Madam Di and dared not let her go.

Shui Ruolan turned and looked at Madam Di. “Sister, Lady Qi is our guest and the general has told us about her before. Moreover, Magistrate Qi asked us to take good care of her. I am afraid that it would be not proper to treat her like this!” said Shui Ruolan very politely and smartly.

But Madam Di did not ignore her true meaning.

Not only Qi Rongzhi was in the capital city, but also her brothers, especially Qi Tianyu. If he told others what happened in Jiangzhou, Qin Yuru’s reputation would as bad as that when they were in Jiangzhou.

“Release her!” Gritting her teeth, Madam Di waved her hand and said.

Both two old maidservants released Qi Rongzhi and left. She moved her arms and relaxed.

Shui Ruolan set eyes on the furious Qi Rongzhi. “Lady Qi, now could you tell us why you fought with Yuru? Although your father told the general to take good care of you, we would not stand your willful behaviors if you do not respect our family rules,” said Shui Ruolan with her face clouding.

That meant that if Qi Rongzhi still behaved like this, she would be sent back to Magistrate Qi’s Mansion. There were mansions which belonged to the Qi in the capital city.

Qi Rongzhi didn’t expect that Shui Ruolan would be so powerful. When she heard these words, she felt embarrassed and angry, and said, “Shui Ruolan, you…”

Qin Wanru snorted, went ahead and slapped Qi Rongzhi in the face.

“Qi Rongzhi! You are in Qin’s Mansion now, not your Qi’s Mansion in Jiangzhou! If you still behave badly, please leave here. We don’t welcome people like you!”

Qin Wanru said very coldly and sternly. She took out her handkerchief to wipe her hand.

Nobody expected that Qin Wanru would slap Qi Rongzhi in the face without saying anything before. Then came a weird silence in the room. Everyone looked at Qin Wanru with a shock.

With eyes wide open, Qi Rongzhi covered her face and glared at Qin Wanru. She could not wait to stand up and punch Qin Wanru. However, this slap also made her realize that she could behave willfully in front of Madam Di and Qin Yuru but definitely not Shui Ruolan and Qin Wanru.

Shui Ruolan and Qin Wanru were not afraid of her. It was Madam Di and Qin Yuru who resulted in what happened in Jiangzhou, which would damage their reputation. And this had nothing to do with Shui Ruolan and Qin Wanru. Moreover, they might expect Qi Rongzhi to take this opportunity to tell others about it.

“If the thing goes worse, it would benefit them!” Qi Rongzhi suddenly understood. She stared at Qin Wanru in anger, gnashing her teeth. “Fine!” she thought.

Realizing that, Madam Di banged on the table and asked, “Wanru, why did you do that?”

“What? Madam, I just wanted to avenge for sister. You know Lady Qi just punched her. It is fair enough to punch Lady Qi. Don’t you think so?” said Qin Wanru, pretending to be puzzled. She turned and looked at Qin Yuru who was still covering her face, indicating that she was slapped by Qi Rongzhi.

Qi Rongzhi was very strong and Qin Yuru felt some guilty. Therefore, there was a high possibility that Qin Yuru was punched by Qi Rongzhi during the fight.

Although Qin Yuru didn’t like Qin Wanru, she felt happy when seeing Qin Wanru slap Qi Rongzhi in the face. Then she put down her hand and a clear red handprint appeared in her face!

Here was the fact. Then Qin Wanru took a step back and sat down. “Qi Rongzhi, tell us why you fought with my sister this time,” said Qin Wanru coldly.

Qi Rongzhi looked around and found out that she had no supporter in Qin’s Mansion. Feeling lonely and wronged, she burst out crying, stood up, covered her face and ran outside very quickly…
