Chapter 341: Is It Deterrence or Conciliation?

“Our Miss has learned some medical skills when she was in Jiangzhou!” Yujie answered for Qin Wanru.

“Then… After the Second Miss arrived in the capital, has she cured an old lady?” Nanny Yu could not help but take two steps forward to see Qin Wanru more clearly.

“Once I cured one in an alley. Is she your master?” Qin Wanru smiled and admitted.

The smile on Qin Yuru’s face froze. “When did Qin Wanru rescue the Madam Dowager of Duke Xing’s Mansion? Why didn’t I know?” Hearing that, Qin Huaiyong frowned, which others did not notice.

“It’s really you. The Qin’s Mansion turns out to be Ningyuan Army General’s. No wonder I couldn’t find it. Thanks to the Second Miss, our Madam Dowager could be all right. If it hadn’t been for the Second Miss, our Madam Dowager would have…”

Nanny Yu was moved and saluted Qin Wanru.

Qin Wanru hurriedly stood up to avoid and reached out to slightly help Nanny Yu, saying, “Nanny Yu, you’re welcome!”

“I have to thank you. Thank you very much, Second Miss. I’ll come to express our thanks again the other day!” Nanny Yu said with gratefulness.

“Nanny Yu, how do you know the second sister? Do you recognize the wrong person?” Qin Yuru asked with an unhappy look as she tore the handkerchief fiercely.

“On that day, Madam Dowager went out with me. Unexpectedly, she suddenly became ill. I wanted to take her back as soon as possible, so we took a short cut. Our carriage happened to meet the Second Miss’s, and no one could go out. The situation was very urgent. So the Second Miss came to treat our Madam Dowager, who then woke up!”

Nanny Yu sat down again and said gratefully.

She was really grateful to Qin Wanru. If it had not been for Qin Wanru that day, Madam Dowager would have died even if she could went back to the mansion. Later, the doctor, who had been treating Madam Dowager for a long time, said that Madam Dowager had almost died. If Madam Dowager had died, Nanny Yu, who had been attending upon Madam Dowager, could hardly absolve herself from the blame even though she was Madam Dowager’s henchman.

From this point of view, Qin Wanru had saved not only Madam Dowager, but also her.

Qin Yuru did not believe Qin Wanru. She snorted coldly and said, “Is the medical skill of the second sister so good? It’s just a good luck, isn’t it?”

“The Second Miss’s medical skill is very good. When she acupunctured Madam Dowager, I was there. She is very skilled. At first sight, I knew that she had spent a lot of time and energy in learning. Young as the Second Miss, her medical skill is so good. She’s really wonderful!” Nanny Yu repeatedly praised Qin Wanru. The more she saw her, the more she thought her was pleasant.

“Nanny Yu, it’s all over, so don’t talk about it. Didn’t you say you want to talk to my second sister? Now she’s here, please say what you want to say!” Qin Yuru was impatient when she saw that Nanny Yu was still praising Qin Wanru. She picked up the teacup at hand, took a sip, put it down heavily, and urged Nanny Yu.

Nanny Yu did want to say something. This time, she was sent by Madam Dowager. There had been some uncertain things. But when she saw the pastry, they became certain. Since it was the descendant of heir, it could not be bullied, so Nanny Yu came here to intimidate Qin Wanru.

However, Qin Wanru had saved Madam Dowager, so she could not say the words she had prepared.

Nanny Yu coughed to clear her throat, and hesitated.

“Nanny Yu, you’d better hurry up. Madam Dowager is still waiting for you to report!” Qin Yuru was getting more and more unhappy, and her face darkened.

Nanny Yu coughed again, knowing that she had to say. The smile on her face faded and she said with a serious look, “Second Miss, our Madam Dowager likes the First Miss very much. She heard that because of the pair of blood jade bracelets she sent to the First Miss, the First Miss had a dispute with you when she went out of Duke Xing’s Mansion. She’s afraid that there will be more disputes between you two, so she asked me to bring you another pair of blood jade bracelets!”

This sounded polite. It seemed that even if something like that had happened, Madam Dowager would still give Qin Wanru a gift.

But after thinking deeply, one would find that the words were very vicious. It meant that yesterday’s event was caused by Qin Wanru’s jealousy of Qin Yuru. She envied Qin Yuru’s blood jade bracelets given by Madam Dowager, so she deliberately made a scene to embarrass Qin Yuru and broke a pair of blood jade bracelets Qin Yuru was wearing at that time.

The reason was all Qin Wanru’s fault!

Yujie was so angry in her mind that her face turned white. She stared at Nanny Yu with hatred. “I should have stopped Miss from saving that Madam Dowager at the beginning. Unexpectedly, she maliciously put all the faults on our Miss.”

Nanny Yu finished and clapped her hands. Then a maid, who had been following her, came with a delicate box in her hand. Nanny Yu took the delicate box and opened it. She handed it to Qin Wanru with a smile and said, “Second Miss Qin, please accept it!”

If Qin Wanru really accepted this pair of jade bracelets, it would prove that what Nanny Yu said before was right. It meant that the quarrel between the two sisters in the street yesterday was designed by Qin Wanru and Qin Wanru deliberately made Qin Yuru angry and broke her bracelets, because Qin Wanru was envious of Qin Yuru’s gift from Madam Dowager!

If Qin Wanru did not accept it, it meant that she had no respect for Madam Dowager of Duke Xing’s Manson, who was not only the elder but also the dignified. So how could Qin Wanru refuse it!

Up to now, Qin Wanru had to accept it even if she did not want to. In addition, she had to admit that she was narrow-minded and had framed her sister.

Qin Wanru had to admit that the Madam Dowager of Duke Xing’s Mansion was cruel and heartless.

“I dare not accept the gift from Madam Dowager. If Madam Dowager wants to help us, she could give First Sister the bracelets!” Qin Wanru said in a neither humble nor arrogant way.

“It’s so bold of you! Qin Wanru, how dare you refuse the reward of the Madam Dowager of Duke Xing’s Mansion. Don’t you know that we can’t refuse the gift from the elder?” Seeing Qin Wanru really dared to refuse, Qin Yuru immediately darkened her face and snapped.

“What do you want to say, sister?” Seeing this kind of Qin Yuru, Qin Wanru came up with an idea in her mind. She sneered and said, “Sister, do you mean that you want me to be responsible for the whole matter? Do you mean that it’s all my fault? I was jealous of you and framed you, so you lost control of yourself in the street and beat and scolded me, right?”

She did not believe that Nanny Yu would still force her to bear all responsibility and her father would still stand by after she spoke out the hidden meaning.

“Qin Wanru, what are you talking about!” Qin Yuru frowned, stood up, and snapped at her.

“Can’t you understand what I said?” Qin Wanru asked back. Then she turned to Nanny Yu and said, “Nanny Yu, even though Madam Dowager likes First Sister, she can’t let people think so, can she? I heard that Madam Dowager is kind. I think she didn’t take this into consideration. Please take back the bracelets!”

If Nanny Yu did not take back the bracelets, it meant that Madam Dowager really had bad intentions.

Even though Madam Dowager was noble, she still could not interfere in the affairs of the womenfolk’s place of Qin’s Mansion. In fact, Qin’s Mansion and Duke Xing’s Mansion had nothing to do with each other.

And what made Nanny Yu blush was that Qin Wanru had saved Madam Dowager before. It was clear that Madam Dowager was returning Qin Wanru’s kindness with enmity.

Even though Nanny Yu had prepared some other words to deal with Qin Wanru, being looked at by Qin Wanru, she felt speechless at this time. So she smiled and took back her hands. “Since Second Miss Qin doesn’t like them, and even misunderstood the good intentions of Madam Dowager, I’ll take them back. Next time, Madam Dowager will ask others to send you honoraria!”

“I dare not accept the honoraria from Madam Dowager. I studied medicine to save lives. If I see someone ill and don’t save him or her, it’s my great fault. I can’t deserve Madam Dowager’s honoraria!” Qin Wanru’s face became more and more peaceful, as if the other side was not the noble Madam Dowager of Duke Xing’s Mansion, but just an ordinary old woman on the road.

“Qin Wanru, you dare not to accept the gift of Madam Dowager. You are so impolite!” When Qin Yuru saw Nanny Yu’s appearance and found that she was feckless, she became anxious at once.

“Sister, you want to force me to bear the responsibility?” Qin Wanru narrowed her eyes slightly and asked Qin Yuru.

“What? It’s your fault. How dare you not admit it. It’s clear that you deliberately smashed my blood jade bracelets. But you actually said I smashed them. Qin Wanru, God is watching your every move!” Thinking of yesterday, Qin Yuru screamed in anger.

How could she not be anxious when she found that Nanny Yu was useless.

“Yuru, shut up!” Qin Huaiyong was unpleasant. Seeing that Qin Yuru was going to scream again, he suddenly shouted.

“I…” Qin Yuru bit her teeth and glared at Qin Wanru. She felt that she could not suppress her anger and said, “Father, Qin Wanru framed me yesterday!”

“Father, if you don’t believe it, you can go to the street and ask any passerby!” Qin Wanru replied calmly.

Whether by their manners or their tones and eyes, all the people in the room felt that Qin Wanru was more credible. Looking at Qin Yuru’s resentful and ferocious face, one would only think that she was obviously jealous and hateful. It was clear that which one would intentionally make a scene because of jealousy.

Nanny Yu stepped back and handed the delicate box to the maid. The maid stepped back. She also stepped back and frowned. Now she did not know how to solve this problem.

If the Second Miss in front of her had not saved her Madam Dowager’s life, she thought that she could intimidate her with the influence of Duke Xing’s Mansion. After all, in her view, Qin Wanru was just an unmarried young lady who came from a small place. It was not difficult to deal with this matter if she overawed her and promised her some benefits at the same time.

But this young lady had saved her Madam Dowager’s life. Even though Nanny Yu was capable, she still felt guilt and could say nothing.

Glancing at the delicate pastry on the table, Nanny Yu sighed. In this situation, she did not know what she could do. The First Miss Qin seemed to be the biological granddaughter of Madam Dowager and the biological daughter of the deceased heir. She was still doubtful before when she came here, but now she was very sure after seeing the pastry.

She had not seen this kind of pastry for more than ten years. It was made by the mold that Infanta Qinghua brought when she got married. Later, the mold was taken away by Infanta Qinghua. Unexpectedly, she saw it again many years later. Nanny Yu had confirmed Qin Yuru’s identity.

However, what made her sigh was that this miss seemed to have been spoiled by Madam Di. Unexpectedly, she was not noble-spirited and was easy to get angry. How could she do?

She wondered whether she should help Qin Yuru, or whether she should force herself to help her once…
