Chapter 347 Sending and Exchanging Paintings
“What painting?” Qin Wanru froze and was stunned to ask.
“Not only send a painting, but also exchange one for me!” Chu Liuchen’s voice became more drawling and lazy, but there was a scary dignified manner hidden in it.
Qin Wanru blinked her watery eyes, and wondered. “Whom does Prince want to exchange with?”
“Chu Liuyue!” Chu Liuchen casually said. As Chu Liuchen’s slender fingers lightly clicked on the table, Xiao Xuanzi immediately understood and went into the room. He took out a scroll of painting and put it in front of Chu Liuchen.
Chu Liuchen pushed the painting to Qin Wanru with his hand, and looked at her with a faint smile on his face. “How about this?”
“What does Prince want to exchange for with Prince Yue?” Qin Wanru asked helplessly, knowing that she could not refuse.
“Obviously exchange for his most precious one,” Chu Liuchen said with a deeper smile, but this smile seemed not to be a real joy from the perspective of Qin Wanru, since his handsome eyes were too dark to see the bottom. Visit website:
“I just need to say this?” Qin Wanru asked with her own eyebrows raised.
“Yes. Just say this. He will definitely understand!” Chu Liuchen did not intend to explain to her at all, and he just slightly squinted. His long eyelashes cast the ragged shadow over the lower eyelids of his beautiful eyes, which made his complexion paler.
It revealed a weak illness.
“Where can I find Prince Yue?” Qin Wanru said helplessly. She knew that she could not refuse this and she was unable to do this. A good subordinate should be like this!
“He will come soon after you go out! He is also hurt badly, so he has been living in the palace recently too! My cousins are all sick and weak people. Do not annoy him!” Chu Liuchen smiled cheerfully.
Qin Wanru was not in a pleasant mood at all, and she even though what she should do if Chu Liuyue was furious after a while, biting her lip helplessly.

Qin Wanru was astonished with her forehead sweating heavily and her fingers unconsciously cramp once. In her last life, she had died under the order of Chu Liuyue. When she had been cut in two at the waist, she had not died yet. The whole world had seemed to become red with blood, and she had almost seen her twisted figure.
The sharp bloody pain seemed to be around her and she used her greatest perseverance to restrain herself from screaming. The cat in her hand suddenly made an extremely painful noise and stretched out its sharp claws as if it would grab Qin Wanru’s hand.
Chu Liuchen’s face clouded over, and he reached out to pat heavily on the cat’s claw, with a pair of hostile eyes looking directly into the cat’s eyes. The white cat gave a soft and flattering meow with its claws dropping gently, and then moved its chubby body pitifully and meowed twice when looking at Chu Liuchen.
It seemed to have suffered wrong and to be pathetic.
Aroused by the cat in her arms, which was twisting its body, the bloody color in Qin Wanru’s eyes slowly faded. She reached out to touch the cat’s head and her tender hands were no longer stiff.
“Prince, do I need to say anything else to Prince Yue?” After taking a deep breath, her eyes were peaceful when she raised her head, as if the person in a panic had not been her. She was still the Second Miss of Qin’s Mansion instead of the soul in blood that had been treated unjustly and cried under the imperial palace.
Since she had returned through rebirth, everything should be repaid with blood.
“You have no need to say anything. Just say that he must give me his favorite and most precious painting!” Chu Liuchen reached out again to push the painting to the front of Qin Wanru.
Qin Wanru nodded. This time, she took the painting without hesitation, and stood up. “Prince, please stay here and wait for my news. I’ll come back soon!”
Since Chu Liuyue was waiting for her outside, it would not be a big deal to go out and meet him!
“Come back as soon as possible! Do not stay too long. You have no need to talk to him!” Chu Liuchen nodded with satisfaction and then glanced at Qin Wanru, saying with some meaning inside, “Do not get too close with him. He is not a good person, obviously with a black heart.”
After a helpless salutation, Qin Wanru turned to go outside.
Xiao Xuanzi still led the way, and took her to the gate of the palace. Qin Wanru nodded to Xiao Xuanzi, and then turned away with a scroll of painting in her hands.
When they had come here before, Yujie had once remembered the road. Now walking according to the memory, they just rounded a bend and saw a tall figure in a navy blue robe standing under the tree ahead with hands clasped behind back. Two little eunuchs waited and stood not far from him.
Oh, he guessed right!
Qin Wanru stopped to look at Chu Liuyue’s back. There were neither waves in her clear beautiful eyes at all nor the same excitement when she had seen Chu Liuyue for the first time. At that time, she could not even control herself and poured water on Chu Liuyue. But when thinking this now, she felt that it seemed to happen in another life.
Chu Liuyue turned to look at Qin Wanru and looked up and down several times. With a hint of doubt in his eyes, he wondered whether Chu Liuchen really thought highly of her.
Why all the news he had got were that Chu Liuchen treated Second Miss Qin differently from others, such as what had happened at the gate of the palace, and today?
It was not a secret in the palace that Imperial Grandmother wanted to choose a good marriage for Chu Liuchen. However, selecting such a marriage was beyond everyone’s imagination. In Chu Liuyue’s opinion, none of these three could meet the criteria that Imperial Grandmother set to choose a wife for Chu Liuchen.
It seemed to be the criteria for choosing a concubine or a concubine in a non-lineal descent.
Recently, Imperial Grandmother had invited several Misses into the palace at intervals, and euphemistically described it as sending medicine to Chu Liuchen. However, when they arrived at Chu Liuchen’s palace, only one of them could stay there but she could not stay long. Just like Qin Wanru in front of him, she was also kicked out within short time.
In terms of this short time, Chu Liuchen seemed not to be particularly fond of her.
Then how about the matter at the gate of the palace? Could it be true that it had been directed and performed all by Chu Liuchen himself? He deliberately created a disturbance like this, and was not he afraid that he himself would be involved? Regarding this statement, Chu Liuyue also felt untrustworthy, because Chu Liuchen indeed had difficulties protecting himself, let alone saving people. Even taking a walk might cause him to get sick again.
If neither of these was possible, then it must be planned by someone else. It was really because Chu Liuchen had known Qin Wanru that stood out to save her. Chu Liuyue’s eyes fell on Qin Wanru’s exquisite face, as if he was thinking of something.
Different from Chu Liuchen, Chu Liuyue had had palace maids brought up particularly in early time and already had some concubines without formal status in his palace. After having a legal wife, he would directly promote their status in his palace if some concubines found favor in his eyes.
Because he had a good looking, and was the Prince most likely to inherit the throne in the future, he could receive sweet and shy eyes wherever he went. Even many Misses deliberately appeared on his way in order to meet with him. He had seen all kinds of beautiful girls, but this was his first time to see such calm and indifferent eyes like Qin Wanru.
Those watery eyes were beautiful and could almost reflect himself. Even if they were so beautiful, they only showed a touch of coldness. Yes, coldness. Even though the two of them were not far away, they seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, or layers of mist.
No flattering. No shyness. That small pink face was naturally flushed, but it was not a blush that appeared when a girl first saw the man she loved. The beautiful eyes were almost calm like a lake without waves. Such a girl had been so young that even Chu Liuyue could have almost ignored her gender in their first meet.
She was just a child!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut now he had to admit that this was a beautiful Miss who was extremely weak but also extremely cold, and had no wishful thinking about him with a cold and distant look.
This feeling was very strange, and even made him involuntarily want to see clearly. Was this her means of trying to play cat and mouse with him? There were lots of Misses from aristocratic families with sophisticated means in the capital city. They performed to be distinguished, but they were actually just fishing for men. Was this girl in front of me similar to them?
This should not be true. She was too young to understand this!
Chu Liuyue shook his head secretly, because she looked a bit childish. Even though she had a natural charm, it was suppressed behind her coldness. He saw her stopping politely with no intention to approach and turning aside to salute. “Pay my respect to Prince Yue!” said Qin Wanru.
“Do you come from the palace of my Third brother?” Chu Liuyue came over with hands clasped behind back and asked.
“Yes!” Qin Wanru stepped back indifferently to keep the distance from him.
“How is my Third brother? Can he get up?” Chu Liuyue’s face was a little cold in his gorgeous brocade, which was the same expression as before.
“Prince Chen can stand up and he is painting. Seeing that I come over, he particularly asks me to bring a scroll of painting to Prince and says that Prince can exchange with your favorite and the most precious painting!”
Qin Wanru presented the scroll with the ribbon tied and said respectfully.
“What?” Chu Liuyue missed a beat in his heart, and his intuition showed that this was not good. How could Chu Liuchen know that he was waiting here? Could it be true that Qin Wanru was indeed a bait for him?
“This is what Prince Chen asks me to give Prince Yue!” Qin Wanru handed the painting forward again.
Chu Liuyue heard it clearly this time, and took over the painting with a bad look. He pulled the wrapped ribbon and opened the painting. When he saw painting clearly, his eyebrows were raised angrily and he sneered, “It is her that he feels satisfied with, but it is a pity that I have no picture to match this one. You tell my Third brother not to test me again. I have no relationship with First Miss Shao. If he himself likes her, go to visit her family and propose!”
After saying this, he threw the painting coldly, swung his robes, and turned to stride away.
The painting was scattered on the ground and Qin Wanru’s eyes looked at the portrait on the painting. From her angle, she could not see the whole figure, and could only see half of a beautiful girl’s face, which was very familiar!
After looking around on that face, Qin Wanru stepped forward and squatted to unfold the painting. After seeing the figure on the painting clearly, her dark eyes grew cold and ruthless.
Shao Yanru. It was her!
