“Miss, it’s a little inappropriate… to wear this hairpin, isn’t it?” Yujie said. As Shao Wanru’s personal maid, she naturally knew well about Shao Wanru’s accessories. This hairpin was not a gift from someone else, but made by Shao Wanru with the black bamboo in the Huaguang Temple.

The black bamboo from the Huaguang Temple, which was difficult to get, was given by Prince Chen,

After getting the black bamboo, Shao Wanru carved a sharp hairpin. But later, the hairpin was taken away by Prince Chen. When it showed up again, there was an orchid carved at the end of it, which looked slightly crude before. The purple orchid, which was of the original color of the black bamboo, adorned the hairpin and made it look impressive.

Shao Wanru had always placed the hairpin in a secret compartment at a corner of her jewelry box. When Yujie took her jewelry box out, Shao Yanru did not notice the secret compartment because it, which only contained a hairpin, was inconspicuous.

“Put it on!” Shao Wanru insisted.

“Yes!” Seeing that her master insisted, Yujie had to agree. She cautiously inserted the hairpin in Shao Wanru’s bun and thus to fix it. After Shao Wanru was knocked over a moment ago, although she still had a bun, it was a little loose. If Yujie didn’t fix it with the hairpin now, it would be loose later. It was improper for a Miss to show up in front of others with her hair hanging loose.

There was a light purple hairpin in Shao Wanru’s dark bun, with an orchid at the slightly raising end of it. Taking a closer look, you would find that it was a fancy and beautiful orchid, which made her plain black clothes look lively, because the hairpin was the only thing of a bright color on her.

Nevertheless, the natural purple looked elegant at the same time. Although it was a little bit conspicuous in contrast to Shao Wanru’s black clothes, it seemed to be in harmony with them.

“Let’s go!” Shao Wanru said, looked at the path in front and walked forward slowly.

Yujie followed her closely.

This time, Shao Wanru focused on admiring the scenery. It was not convenient for her to walk with her swollen ankle, so she walked with Yujie’s help, while admiring the scenery. From time to time, she stopped to pick up a few particularly beautiful red leaves and instructed Yujie to put them away.

Most of the maple leaves falling from the trees were fragmentary and unevenly colored and very few of them were in good shape and brightly colored. Shao Wanru stopped from time to time and only collected a dozen or so of leaves.

“Fifth Sister, have you recovered?” When Shao Wanru crouched down again to pick up the red leaves on the ground and look at them carefully, she suddenly heard Shao Yanru’s gentle and surprised voice.

Shao Wanru looked up and saw Shao Yanru, Qiu Yu and Chu Qing come back together. She didn’t get up, but just waved the red leaves in her hand.

“Big sister, I’m collecting good-looking maple leaves.”

“Fifth Sister, what do you collect them for?” Shao Yanru came over and asked in surprise.

“I like them, so I collect them and intend to put them in books after taking them back!” Shao Wanru said and lowered her head again to compare the two maple leaves in her hands. Both of them looked in good shape.

“Fifth Sister, get up quickly. Have you recovered? Don’t you feel pain when crouching down like this?” Shao Yanru said with concern and was about to come over to pull Shao Wanru up.

“First Miss, please don’t pull my master. Her foot hurts, so she can’t get up at once!” Yujie stood up, stopped Shao Yanru from pulling Shao Wanru and said.

She happened to stretch out her hand in front of Shao Yanru’s hand.

“Well, help her up. How can she crouch down like this? She couldn’t walk with her foot injury and was in such great pain that her forehead was covered with sweat after taking only a few steps just now!” Shao Yanru said with increasing concern, but didn’t reach out again and just advised on one side.

Shao Wanru, who had been in such great pain that her forehead was covered with sweat after taking only a few steps, had probably walked a long way. Chu Qing looked at Shao Wanru, only to find that she looked at ease with no sweat on her white and tender forehead. With a trace of doubt in his eyes, he thought, “Could it be possible that the Fifth Miss Shao feigned her injury?”

Qiu Yu also looked at Shao Wanru’s face. He couldn’t see her face under the veil, but her eyes above the veil didn’t show that she was in great pain. Did she feign her injury?

Shao Wanru stood up with Yujie’s help. Probably because she had been crouching down for a long while, she staggered slightly. Fortunately, Yujie, who was well prepared, exerted herself to grab her and didn’t let go of her until she stood firm.

“I’m better now. Thank you for your concern, Big Sister!” Shao Wanru said softly, looking at the three of them, who came together and seemed to be harmonious, “Big Sister, have you walked around the forest? How is the scenery in front? If I didn’t sprain my ankle, now I could join you in walking forward and enjoying the scenery in front!”

As she said, there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Shao Yanru glanced at Shuqi. Shuqi immediately stepped forward, approached Shao Wanru intimately and said with a smile, “Fifth Miss, you can also walk around. Try to move your foot. Look, you’ve walked such a long way. If you have a try, you may be able to walk around!”

She seemed to be encouraging Shao Wanru, but if you thought about it carefully, you would find that she was suggesting that Shao Wanru feigned her injury.

It was true that she couldn’t even take a step after spraining her ankle, but everyone saw the look of anguish on her face and her forehead was covered with sweat because of the pain. But now she seemed to have recovered and have no difficulty in crouching down and standing up. Had she really sprained her ankle or not?

Chu Qing looked around and estimated that the Fifth Miss Shao had walked a long way. It seemed that the Fifth Miss Shao had come over soon after they left. At the thought of this, he showed a thoughtful look.

Qiu Yu was not as reserved as Chu Qing. After looking Shao Wanru up and down a few times, he couldn’t help asking at the moment, “Fifth Miss Shao, are you not really injured?”

His words were extremely offensive, because he suggested that Shao Wanru had feigned her injury and was a Miss from an aristocratic family, who behaved in an affected way in front of men. It could be considered obnoxious manners and could even arouse others’ suspicion about her purpose and character.

Shao Yanru didn’t actually think of this possibility. After all, she had seen Shao Wanru couldn’t even talk with her forehead covered with sweat because of the pain after spraining her ankle. How could Shao Wanru feign it?

But now, she thought that Shao Wanru was really good at pretending, and she had obviously been deceived by Shao Wanru. She didn’t expect that she would be deceived one day. She sneered in her heart and thought that since this was the case, it was a good opportunity. She decided to tear the mask off Shao Wanru’s face and show Qiu Yu and Chu Qing how artificial Shao Wanru was.

She was the most distinguished, elegant and dignified Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion. Of course, she needed someone else as a foil. Since Shao Wanru came to serve as a foil for her, how could she reject it?

She had intended to take Shao Wanru as a stepping stone. Since Shao Wanru asked for it, Shao Wanru could only blame herself for being too stupid and playing tricks rather than blame her.

“Your Excellency, what do you mean? Of course my master has sprained her ankle. Could it be possible that she feigned it before?” Yujie said to Qiu Yu rudely with a cold face.

“Your Excellency, my Fifth Sister has always been honest. How could she do this? You’ve crossed the line!”

With her face darkening, Shao Yanru said after Yujie finished speaking.

Qiu Yu’s face turned red, and then turned purple. Rebuked by his beloved girl in front of Commandery Prince Qing because of someone else’s affairs, he felt extremely ashamed.

On their way, he could tell that Commandery Prince Qing seemed to have shown a faint affection for the First Miss Shao, which reminded him what he had seen when he first came here.

The couple of a handsome man and a pretty girl was quite pleasing to the eye, but he didn’t like it!

Now he was rebuked by Shao Yanru in front of Chu Qing. Despite her soft tone, he still felt extremely ashamed. He couldn’t bear to lose face in front of Chu Qing.

“Fifth Miss, I’m going to investigate into the case about what happened before. Whether you are injured or not has an influence on how to handle the case. Fifth Miss Shao, you had better let us check if you are injured or not!” Qiu Yu coughed hard and said coldly as if doing official business according to official principles.

He said in an extremely harsh tone and looked at Shao Wanru coldly, as if her refusal would make him think that she attempted to set up the two maids.

Shao Yanru was very satisfied with Qiu Yu’s decision. On their way, she could certainly feel the awkward atmosphere between Qiu Yu and Chu Qing. Seeing that Qiu Yu was provoked by her as she expected, she felt complacent!

“Your Excellency, my Fifth Sister is an unmarried Miss. How can you check her wound in public?” Shao Yanru retorted and stood in front of Shao Wanru, as if intending to protect Shao Wanru from being bullied.

“First Miss, rest assured. Commandery Prince Qing and I will go away and leave it checked by you. I believe that you are an honest Miss and will never smear the reputation of Duke Xing’s Mansion!” Qiu Yu looked at Shao Yanru and said seriously. Of course, he would not let Shao Yanru think that he was lecherous, so he looked at Chu Qing after saying that.

Chu Qing naturally nodded.

“Fifth Sister…” Shao Yanru looked at Shao Wanru with an embarrassed look and said.

Shao Wanru almost wanted to cry for Qiu Yu’s stupidity. He had unconsciously fallen into Shao Yanru’s trap and still considered Shao Yanru a good Miss. Needless to say, she was the one, who would smear the reputation of Duke Xing’s Mansion.

She lifted the corners of her mouth silently, looked up at Shao Yanru and said, “Big Sister, do you want me to take off my shoe and check my wound to prove that you are a good Miss, while I am the one, who will smear the reputation of Duke Xing’s Mansion?”

Since all of them at present harbored evil designs against her, she didn’t have to show any mercy.

“First Miss, you believe what Lord Qiu said, while don’t believe any word of my master. Do you consider Lord Qiu or my master credible? Could it be possible that you consider my master such an incredible person?”

Yujie stood in front of Shao Wanru with an angry face, glared at Shao Yanru, who was affected, and said. Her words were so offensive that Shao Yanru almost failed to maintain her smile and almost couldn’t refrain from reaching out to slap Yujie. How dare Yujie say that as a maid? Who gave Yujie the courage to say that in front of her?

“How dare you say that as a maid!” Shuqi scolded her loudly, took two steps forward and reached out in an attempt to slap Yujie!

She was Shao Yanru’s principal maid and had always been respected by the servants in Duke Xing’s Mansion!
