She was not sure what had happened to Rui’an Great Elder Princess in her last life. As it was a distant memory, she now was a bit confused. She was only a painter who entered the palace to paint for the Emperor’s harem. Moreover, she was a temporary staff so she had no access to those matters of the imperial family.

But she felt that it was because of a woman that the incident happened to Rui’an Great Elder Princess in the end. It seemed that the woman had something to do with Yuhui Nunnery. That day, two palace maids were gossiping aside secretly while she hid in the bushes to avoid meeting domineering and arrogant Shao Yanru. It was during that time that she heard something.

“The former Emperor… Great Elder Princess felt pity for… A woman surnamed Mo confessed… Yuhui Nunnery…” Many pieces of memory were dug out.

Mo Qiuyi had been her neighbor for a long time but she had never thought of this matter. Now, these pieces of memory came to her all of a sudden.

According to her memory and her deduction, Mo Qiuyi might be the one who ratted out Great Elder Princess in her last life!

However, Shao Wanru could not figure out what rebellious thing Great Elder Princess had done and how a stranger could rat her out.

They were not in the same boat. On one hand, this woman, Mo Qiuyi had been in the mountain for years and had been peaceful and docile; on the other hand, she had been helping Yuhui Nunnery handle some little things and had seldom walked out of her own courtyard. Thus, the Great Elder Princess should not have anything to do with her.

However, Mo Qiuyi was too suspicious that she could not think of other people!

Who was her hometown friend? Why did she keep asking Great Elder Princess to take her away? Would she find Great Elder Princess and also beg her to take her hometown friend away in the last life? A terrible incident just happened in Yuhui Nunnery and nothing had been found. Would Mo Qiuyi’s hometown friend have something to do with this?

If so, then she must pay more attention to this suspicious so-called hometown friend!

Shao Wanru’s eyes looked darker. No matter whether Mo Qiuyi led to the end of Rui’an Great Elder Princess in her last life, this woman was suspicious enough.

“When will grandma come?” Taking a deep breath, Shao Wanru appeased her anxiety with a trace of indifference in her watery eyes.

During these days, Rui’an Great Elder Princess had always come to her and talked with her. They both got along well with each other and they both were content with this peaceful and happy life!

“Great Elder Princess should have come! Let me have a look!” Qing’er quickly ran away. She was the youngest and most lively one among those servant girls. She looked innocent but actually she was sent by Chu Liuchen.

She actually was a servant girl who knew martial arts. Chu Liuchen sent her here to protect Shao Wanru. If something happened, she could resort to others and then secret guards owned by Chu Liuchen, whom Qing’er could also command would come soon.

“Miss, the woman stops Great Elder Princess!” Qing’er’s voice suddenly sounded at the entrance.

Shao Wanru strode towards the door while Yujie immediately took an umbrella and held it for Shao Wanru to keep rain off.

It had been drizzling all day long, which dampened the ground. Not tens of feet away from the entrance knelt Mo Qiuyi, looking embarrassed. She was kowtowing, crying and begging Rui’an Great Elder Princess.

Rui’an Great Elder Princess looked indifferent but actually was very kind-hearted. Seeing such a little girl kneeling down in front of her, she could not help asking about her.

Shao Wanru was far away from them. When she walked towards them, she found Mo Qiuyi had raised her head and begun to whisper in Rui’an Great Elder Princess’ ear.

Shao Wanru’s intuition told her that something was getting wrong. Quickly picking up a stone beside her, she broke her female discipline and threw it to Mo Qiuyi.

Seeing this, Qing’er also picked up another bigger stone and threw it to Mo Qiuyi after weighing it in her hand.

Shao Wanru missed. However, the noise that the stone dropped aside also shocked those people. They looked around and wanted to see who was so rude.

“Great Elder Princess, you have to save her because she is your…” Mo Qiuyi ignored the stone but continued to whisper in Great Elder Princess’ ear.

She was interrupted and screamed when feeling hurt. Her body was shot sideways by the stone and she almost fell down.

It was Qing’er!

Seeing her best-loved granddaughter coming, Rui’an Great Elder Princess raised her head and showed a warm smile, then she ignored Mo Qiuyi and didn’t care about what Mo Qiuyi had told her at all.

Mo Qiuyi realized that something was wrong! However, even if she wanted to tell Rui’an Great Elder Princess the truth secretly, she had no chance to do that but only could glare at Shao Wanru with hatred. “Shao Wanru ruins my plan again!”

“Grandma, does she ask you to take a person downhill?” Shao Wanru hurriedly walked towards her and asked gently.

“She sounds pitiful!” Rui’an Great Elder Princess lightly touched Shao Wanru’s head and when finding her hair was wet, she said, “Why do you come here? It is raining. It is easy to catch a cold if getting wet!”

“I am here to pick you up and she just asked me for the same thing and hoped I can tell you this thing that she wants you to take her fellow downhill. However, since I find that Yuhui Nunnery has been in chaos during these days and nobody knows what happened before. Thus, fearing that you might be involved in troubles, I let her wait for my answer. I told her she can wait for another couple of days until I find some ways to help her. But I didn’t expect that she suddenly became angry. She first blamed me and then came to you!”

Glancing at Mo Qiuyi standing aside quietly, Shao Wanru answered.

She now was sure that this woman was complicated. When she walked towards them, she found Mo Qiuyi glaring at her with extreme hatred in her eyes. She was sure about what she just saw and she wondered about the reason why Miss Mo hated her so much.

Was it because she didn’t promise her to let her grandma help her fellow? If so, Miss Mo was too petty! How could she hate others so much when the ones refused to do her a favor! Ridiculous!

Shao Wanru said in a very casual way but since Rui’an Great Elder Princess was an imperial member, she quickly realized the true meaning hid in her words. Nodding, she looked at Mo Qiuyi and said, “Sorry, I can’t help you.”

Before Mo Qiuyi raised her head, she turned around and left with Shao Wanru.

Her dear granddaughter tried to help her but she even blamed Shao Wanru. Rui’an Great Elder Princess thought this woman was not a good person. Moreover, since Yuhui Nunnery just had experienced such an incident which was relevant to the former Emperor’s concubines most of whom she was familiar with, it was necessary for her to keep herself away from this matter to avoid arousing suspicion.

In the past, Rui’an Great Elder Princess might act much more casually than now because at that time she always dared to do something that others didn’t dare to do. However, now she got Shao Wanru and her little brother so she could not behave like that anymore. She was clear that she could not get involved in some kinds of things, especially those which were related to the former Emperor and the current Emperor.

Seeing Rui’an Great Elder Princess leaving with a large group of people, Mo Qiuyi indignantly resented Shao Wanru. She could have almost accomplished her task but she had not expected that Shao Wanru would come to ruin her plan.

Glaring at Shao Wanru’s back resentfully, Mo Qiuyi was clear that she had to find another way. Turning around, she left in the rain and thought she had a plan B which could be implemented…

When going back to the silent room, Shao Wanru helped Great Elder Princess sit down, took over the cup given by Yujie and finally was able to take a sip of water.

“Grandma, what did she talk to you? It seems that she even intended to tell you something secretly, right?” Putting down the cup, Shao Wanru asked curiously. Tilting her head slightly, she now looked quite lovely and very adorable.

Shao Wanru was so cute that Great Elder Princess felt her heart was melting. Then she answered leisurely, “It is about her hometown friend. She wanted me to save her and told me that I would not regret helping her. When she found me unwilling to agree, she then attempted to tell me her hometown friend’s identity.”

“Her identity?” Shao Wanru suddenly got nervous.

“I don’t know. She didn’t tell me and I know nothing about her hometown friend’s identity. Does a miss of a mansion run away from her wedding? But I don’t hear there’s a miss going to marry a seventy- or eighty-year-old man as her mansion dislikes her.”

Rui’an Great Elder Princess found it very funny and ridiculous. She was also very confused about this thing and how this woman found her.

Seeing her kneeling in the mud, Great Elder Princess did feel sympathetic to her and even wanted to promise her once.

Thanks to her granddaughter, since Shao Wanru warned her, she realized that it was not appropriate to do this, especially at this moment. Since the former Emperor’s concubines were killed, she was the one who would be paid special attention to because of her royal blood.

Had she really promised to help her, she might be put at a disadvantage when something was found out in the future.

The less trouble, the better. Since Zhuozhuo and her little brother were still young, they might be severely bullied by others without her support. Considering this, Great Elder Princess thought it necessary to be more careful in the future.

“Grandma, why would people aim at those concubines? They have no child, don’t they?” Rotating the teacup in front of her, Shao Wanru said with her shimmery eyes blinking which made her look much lovely. However, soon a trace of darkness flashed upon her eyes. The intuition told her that this matter would not be easy.

Even so, she had no idea about this issue at all. However, her grandma who seemed to know a lot about this matter might know something.

“Neither do I. A group of concubines without a child. Or does one of them give birth to the former Emperor’s posthumous child? Well, it can’t be!” Shaking her head causally, Great Elder Princess replied as she did know nothing about the reason why someone would choose those women as his or her goal.

Chu Liuchen was the former Emperor’s only son. Since he had always been sick, he could do nothing even if someone wanted to make use of him.

“Grandma, are you sure that the former Emperor only had Prince Chen?” Although Shao Wanru seemed normal, she was a bit shocked inside actually.

“Of course, only one. The former Emperor had no other child except Prince Chen. Thus, it is totally meaningless to save those concubines!” Rui’an Great Elder Princess sneered. Now she spoke as the imperial princess. Thinking of those who conceived a conspiracy, she could not help laughing at them.

Shao Wanru was silent with her eyes squinted tightly. There was a person in her last life but she was not sure whether this one was the former Emperor’s child. They just said that the person might have royal blood but the imperial palace had not acknowledged.

If there was a posthumous child, why didn’t the current Emperor acknowledge? If not, then why those people treat the person so nicely?

Shao Wanru was very regretful for dying too early as she could not figure out everything! Since she still had memory loss, she only had a smattering of those matters with her head in the clouds.

“Miss? Duke Xing’s Mansion comes again,” said Qing’er in the doorway.
