Medical Princess

Chapter 160 “Madam, Are You Angry?”

“Yujie, refresh her mind!” Qin Wanru said, smiling coldly.

Before everyone understood Qin Wanru’s meaning, Yujie slapped the old maid in her face heavily and directly. She even kicked the old maid in her chest rudely, which knocked the old maid over.

Everyone was shocked!

How could people around the Second Lady behave so fiercely? The servant who named Yujie seemed to be very kind and gentle in daily life. She even smiled at everyone she met.

Many onlooking servant girls and old maids spontaneously stepped back. They dare not get close to Yujie and feared that they would irritate her because of their carelessness.

They used to think that Second Lady was the daughter of Madam Shui while Madam Shui was the one who managed the inner court. Thus, they would flatter them and, what was more, Madam Shui now was pregnant. Flattering Second Lady was equivalent to flattering Madam Shui. There was nobody who didn’t pay attention to this and everyone all treated her reverently.

Now they realized that though the Second Lady was a child, she was very powerful, even much more powerful than these two Madams in the mansion. As the little girl just stood there facing Madam Di, she didn’t seem to be weak at all but even she seemed to repress Madam Di.

Now nobody dare look down upon Qin Wanru!

“No! No! Qin Wanru, how dare you!” said Madam Di as she shook with rage. Nanny Zhou who stood behind her was also shocked and her face turned pale. Nobody would know that Qin Wanru would hit the old maid so unceremoniously.

She didn’t give her any chance to explain, or if she did, she would not plan to hear her explanation.

“Madam, are you angry?” Qin Wanru turned and looked at Madam Di and Qin Wanru smiled sweetly.

The smile was sort of childish and sweet but those onlookers here retreated a few steps spontaneously again for they could smell the danger from her smile.

It was so quiet that people could even hear a pin drop!

Qin Huaiyong came with Shui Ruolan. As for why he came late, it was because he was in Shui Ruolan’s room and she had to walk very slowly because of her baby.

Hearing Qionghua was in trouble, Shui Ruolan wished only if she could grow wings and fly there. However, it was Qin Huaiyong who feared that she would get hurt so he walked slowly with her. Thus, they finally arrived here now.

Watching the scene while getting here, Qin Huaiyong frowned and wanted to get in the kitchen. However, Shui Ruolan held his hand and looked at Qin Wanru who stood among the servants. Shui Ruolan felt in her bones that Qin Huaiyong shouldn’t appear now so she took his hand and stood behind those onlookers.

Now everyone focused on the event in the kitchen so they didn’t notice Qin Huaiyong and Shui Ruolan, who only took one servant girl and a servant.

“How, how dare you!” Gnashing her teeth, Madam Di looked at the people around and said, “The old maid is my servant, at least! How you could be so disobedient…”

Madam Di gnashed her teeth. Her beautiful face twisted because of anger. She didn’t show her power yet but let the little mean girl repress her in front of these servants!

“Qin Wanru! You are so disobedient! Kneel down!”

She decided not to show off her eloquence to Qin Wanru. She brought her servants here this time just in order to beat Shui Ruolan’s servant before Shui Ruolan stopped her. It would be better to let Shui Ruolan’s servant unable to argue and make Shui Ruolan devastated.

Now she couldn’t beat Qionghua and then she decided to vent her anger and malice to Qin Wanru in the name of “filial piety”. Even though she now was not Qin Wanru’s “mother”, she would be Qin Wanru’s elder when she still was Qin Huaiyong’s official wife. Then the so-called “filial piety” would repress Qin Wanru.

The dynasty governed the country with the proposition of “filial piety”. Madam Di did believe that she would absolutely repress Qin Wanru, the mean girl. Moreover, she did take the advantage in the event.

“Madam, why should I kneel down? Did I do something wrong?” Qin Wanru raised her rosy face as her eyes became cold.

“You hit my servant without knowing the whole thing! Don’t you think that you should kneel down and apologize to me?” Madam Di banged on the table and said coldly.

“Well, you also hit my mother’s servant without any reason. You also have to apologize, don’t you?” Qin Wanru said without flinching. She had given a glance over the people and noticed Qin Huaiyong who stood behind the people with his hands at the back. Her eyes looked deep while a hint of smile flashed upon her eyes quickly.

“It would be better for him to stand there and he could hear the quarrel clearly!”

“Without him, Madam Di would speak out her thoughts directly much easily.”

“Qin Wanru, you, you go too far! That servant girl framed others and you still stand by her and even protest against me! Is only because she is Shui Ruolan’s servant?” She gnashed her teeth so tightly that her teeth even creaked. She couldn’t lose face any more after being embarrassed by this little mean girl again and again.

She was the official Madam in the mansion. In her mind, she was the only madam of the Qin’s Mansion. Now she was stuck by such a little girl and how she could calm down.

“Madam, I don’t hear that Qionghua framed the other servant while I found out that the old maid beside you was malicious and tried to cause troubles. Do you lead to this event just in order to irritate my mother? She couldn’t suffer this thing because she now is weak!” Qin Wanru said calmly. She set her cold eyes on Madam Di.

“A new old maid dare quarrel with the first servant girl of the Madam who manages this inner court in this emboldened way. Madam, actually I really want to know who gives her this kind of courage to let her be so daredevil!” Qin Wanru continued to say without giving any chance to Madam Di to interrupt her.

She set her flaming eyes on Madam Di, seeming that she could look through her mind.

Hearing Qin Wanru’s words, all the people looked at Madam Di and the old maid. The old maid was new here and nobody in the kitchen saw her before. However, the servant trader just came not long ago. Thus, the old maid should belong to the servant group which just came to the mansion. Moreover, those new servants should be very careful, right?

The old maid seemed like an old fox being working here for a long time.

There were many old maids in the kitchen and many of them were sophisticated. They all felt the old maid was very dubious, unlike a new servant who just arrived here.

Qin Huaiyong reached out and held Shui Ruolan’s hands. Shui Ruolan’s hand were very cold. She felt so anxious that she even sweated but she couldn’t walk faster. Now she found that Qin Wanru was there so she finally relaxed. When she stopped sweating, her body got cold, very cold.

If not Qin Wanru was there, Qionghua would suffer badly. The relationship between Qionghua and Shui Ruolan had been beyond words. If Qionghua was punished, Shui Ruolan didn’t know whether she would be okay then!

When she figured it out clearly, she got colder feet and hands!

“Madam Di’s target was me and my unborn baby. Qionghua was only a tool for her to fight against me!”

Qin Huaiyong pinched her hand lightly and held her cold hand tightly with his hand. He said softly in a low voice, “It would be okay. Everything would be fine!”

He looked contemplative. He thought she just was a normal servant girl. Even if she was Shui Ruolan’s private servant girl, she was nothing but a person who could serve Shui Ruolan. Now he suddenly knew the position of this servant girl in Shui Ruolan’s mind. The servant girl who named Qionghua was special to Shui Ruolan.

“It seems that I have to consider it carefully!”

Shui Ruolan still looked pale. She bit her lips and nodded in silence.

Qin Huaiyong gave a sign to the servant who followed them. Then there came the servant’s loud voice, saying, “General and Madam Shui arrived!”

Finding that there were other masters coming, those onlooking servants then stepped back quickly again. Qin Huaiyong came in the kitchen slowly as holding Shui Ruolan’s hand.

Hearing the servant’s call, Madam Di knew that this event could be very serious today but she wasn’t panic. If this thing could be in a mess, in a greater mess, she would satisfy when Shui Ruolan’s people lose their mind.

Now the mean girl, Qin Wanru, had meddled in this affair. If it finally turned out that the servant of Shui Ruolan was wrong, then there would not only the servant girl Qionghua be punished, but also Qin Wanru. She did want to see what Shui Ruolan would do when seeing her people around her being punished one by one!

Would she lose her mind on the spot?

Well, that would be a great surprise!

When she set her eyes on their hands holding together, a hint of jealousy flashed upon Madam Di’s eyes. However, she knew it was not the right time for her to be jealous. When seeing Qin Huaiyong coming here, she bowed to him quickly and said, “Perfect timing, general. Just let me tell you what Wanru said to me. She was partial to sister’s servant. It just seemed that sister sent people to provoke me deliberately!”

Qin Wanru also bowed to him but said nothing.

“What is going on here?” Qin Huaiyong shot a glance at all people here and asked in a deep voice. He was a military general so he always looked very powerful. Nobody dare raise their head in the direction where he set his eyes on.

Even the old maid who had been moaning lying on the ground now dare not continue. She just put her hand in her chest tightly, seeming that she was so weak.

However, Qin Huaiyong was a general who had been to battlegrounds for many times and he could tell that the weakness was pretended immediately.

His eyes suddenly turned sharp while setting on the old maid’s face. Not to mention the cause of this event, the old maid was not a good one.

“General, it is my sister’s servant who spoke rudely and had a fight with this old maid, making the kitchen in a great mess. A servant came and found me so I am here. Considering that sister now is having a baby, I thought I could help her deal with this. However, I didn’t expect that this servant girl was too malicious. She, on the one hand, claimed that it is the old maid who provoked her and spoke evil of her master while on the other hand, she couldn’t tell us what the old maid said. It is obvious that she wanted to frame others deliberately. General, just let me know should this sort of servants receive punishment?”

Madam Di seemed to have been well prepared. She blurted out as she looked angry and furious. It seemed that it was because of the malicious servant, Qionghua that she would get mad.

When she finished, she even said bitterly, “Now my sister is inconvenient because of her pregnancy so she needs servants around her to help her manage things. This servant is so malicious and she might get sister into trouble. However, sister now could not bear this. For sister, it would be better to drive her out and find other good servants!”

She said more and more sincerely as if she did consider for Shui Ruolan with her whole heart. Her words even covered all the points that Qionghua couldn’t explain. She couldn’t defend herself at all. Qionghua’s face flushed and she clenched her fists and felt furious.

“Father! The old maid is the ill-disposed one! Hope you could punish the old maid!” A clean voice suddenly came out. Everyone turned and looked at Qin Wanru who seemed to be natural and graceful…
