Medical Princess

Chapter 945 I Cannot Resist

After Qing Xue left, Shao Wanru thought for a moment and went to find Chu Liuchen.

Chu Liuchen was at the study. A guard retreated as soon as he led Shao Wanru to the hidden stairs on the second floor.

Shao Wanru had been here before. She went on up the stairs to the third floor people couldn’t see from the outside. They would only take it for a two-floor building with a slightly higher roof. After all, all the royal buildings had high roofs, so this one was not eye-catching!

She entered the study and saw Chu Liuchen sitting leisurely in the chair. He waved to her as soon as seeing her come in.

Shao Wanru went close to him, and then she felt a tight catch on her wrist before she said anything. Chu Liuchen drew her into his arms! The chair was wide, but it was uncomfortable for them to sit together.

Shao Wanru moved and adjusted her sitting position, but Chu Liuchen made her sit on his lap at once!

“There was a sudden fire in Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion. Madam Di’s courtyard was the origin. Madam Di didn’t survive it because the servants failed to come to her rescue in time!” said Chu Liuchen casually with a pleased smile on his face.

If Shao Wanru hadn’t stopped him, he would have taken Madam Di’s life earlier! Therefore, when he heard that Madam Di was dead, he felt pretty pleased! “That woman should have died a long time ago!”

Shao Wanru was not surprised that Chu Liuchen knew about the accident. “How do the people talk about it?” Shao Wanru asked lightly as she played with the jade pendant hanging on Chu Liuchen’s waist.

“They said that Madam Di failed to divert herself from negative emotions and set the fire to burn herself. They were told that the First Miss of Qin’s Mansion Qin Yuru had been living a terrible life in Duke Yong’s Mansion. She was beaten by Di Yan, so she went back to her parent’s home and cried about her grievances to her mother Madam Di. After Qin Yuru left, Madam Di felt more and more sorrowful for her daughter, and for a moment she couldn’t accept it!” said Chu Liuchen with a smile.

Shao Wanru blinked her watery eyes and asked, “They got the news so quickly!”

Shao Wanru’s quick reaction made Chu Liuchen chuckle in a pleasant voice. “They did because Grand Prince’s people spread the news!”

No matter how hard Grand Prince’s people concealed themselves, Chu Liuchen figured them out very soon. Chu Liuchen was only curious about why Grand Prince’s Mansion had something to do with Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion. “It seems that they want to protect Qin Yuru.

“But I don’t have to dig it out now. Their secrets will definitely be exposed one day as long as I investigate them carefully!” Chu Liuchen thought.

Grand Prince had been staying away from the circle of the influential for long. Though he was an official member of the royal family, he was actually powerless. Moreover, Grand Prince should be a smart person who would not get involved in such a thing. That was why his involvement surprised Chu Liuchen a lot.

Shao Wanru immediately knew the key point. Her long eyelashes fluttered and she said bluntly, “Qin Yuru is the daughter of Madam Di and the fourth son of Grand Prince!”

She came here to tell Chu Liuchen about this.

Chu Liuchen didn’t know about it! So Shao Wanru’s words slightly stunned him at first, but soon he smiled with bright eyes, which showed that he was really happy.

“In the past, Qin Huaiyong always doted on his only daughter and had never taken a fancy to you. After he knew that you were not his biological daughter, he even turned a blind eye to Madam Di and his daughter’s harm to you. Now. God helps you and he’s got his retribution!”

Shao Wanru looked at him and felt helpless. How could a pretty man like him say such evil words!

A prince shouldn’t have said such words that made him look mean and stingy! But Shao Wanru was attractive to him like that! A smile slowly appeared on her pink and tender face. She nodded hard and said, “I am happy too!”

She was glad to hear that such retribution fell on Qin Huaiyong today. In her last life, he just watched with cold eyes when Madam Di and Qin Yuru tried to murder her, and later he was in league with Duke Xing’s Mansion.

Although Qin Huaiyong never took the initiative to hurt Shao Wanru, he had always been selfish no matter whether in her last life or this life.

There was an old saying that to raise a child was better than to give birth to a child. Even though Shao Wanru had known that she was the daughter of the former Heir of Duke Xing, she still respected Qin Huaiyong as a father. However, nothing she had done could even move Qin Huaiyong a bit!

“No matter what Qin Huaiyong’s purpose was, it would not change the fact that he never intended to help me when I was set up,” Shao Wanru complained in her heart.

Even in this life, Shao Wanru didn’t realize it at first. She had ever thought that Qin Huaiyong had some father-daughter feelings for her, though she was not his biological daughter. But later, she found that Qin Huaiyong had never considered her a daughter. If Shui Ruolan had not married him at that time, Shao Wanru would not have helped them to become intimate with each other!

“I am a vengeful person. I have been planning to punish Qin Huaiyong on our way to Xu State. But now I think he’s been punished heavily, for he has wasted more than ten years of his efforts raising a daughter of his wife and another man!” said Chu Liuchen as he tightened his arm around Shao Wanru.

Shao Wanru was smiling, but there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.

Shao Wanru was an orphan. Despite raising her, Qin Huaiyong never cared about her and always doted on Qin Yuru. When Qin Yuru humiliated Shao Wanru, he didn’t say a word to stop it until big trouble almost happened.

Regardless of this, he was still partial to Qin Yuru.

Chu Liuchen felt very distressed when thinking of Shao Wanru’s past. She was the only girl he would dote on, but she had suffered so much!

“You have me now! Don’t care about them!”

She didn’t have to mind anyone else. From now on, there was always a man who would dote on her and spoil her!

It was quiet in the room. Shao Wanru leaned her head against Chu Liuchen’s chest, feeling bitter in her heart. She didn’t dare to open her eyes for fear that she would shed tears.

In her last life, she had never heard such words before she died, spending her whole life in a void of loneliness.

“You don’t have to care about those people or anything about them. You are Princess Chen, who is under my protection!” Chu Liuchen looked down at Shao Wanru and said. Even though her eyes were closed, he could feel the sadness in them. Her long eyelashes fluttered and stirred his deep heart, making him feel pity for her.

In this life, she was the one and only!

Shao Wanru didn’t say anything but just put her arms around Chu Liuchen’s waist with a slight and sweet smile. She might have forgotten that she used to be protected like this in her last life.

“I don’t care about them!” said Shao Wanru with her eyes closed. With a smile on her face, she looked relieved. In this life, she was optimistic, and she didn’t care about those who didn’t care about her!

Chu Liuchen gently touched her face as a response, and she couldn’t help blushing.

“What is Grand Prince like?” Shao Wanru stopped his hand and asked.

“Equivalent to the patriarch, he is the director of the Imperial Clan, who is mainly in charge of some family affairs. After all, Uncle the Emperor doesn’t have the leisure to deal with things like that. The royal family is such a complicated clan, so it is better to have someone to deal with them.

“Grand Prince is the Emperor’s distant uncle, so he actually has quite a weak bond with the royal family. However, he is a senior and very popular with the royals. That was why he was appointed the director of the Imperial Clan and later awarded the title of Grand Prince. He always has a good reputation in the royal circle, though his fourth son is an unagreeable person,” said Chu Liuchen slowly.

He knew what Shao Wanru wanted to know just from one question of hers.

“His fourth son Chu Huairan is very dissolute. He was notorious for his dissolute behaviors when he was young. But I didn’t hear anything about his other aspects. As for the other sons, they are also mediocre in school work and personality. Grand Prince, as the director of the Imperial Clan, seems to be ordinary in every aspect…

“But this time, he acted differently!” said Chu Liuchen meaningfully.

Shao Wanru blinked her watery eyes and then looked up at him and asked, “Is it because of Qin Yuru?”

“It seems that I have underestimated him! He even could make up gossip benefiting Qin Yuru in such a short time,” said Chu Liuchen lazily.

“Will Grand Prince recognize Qin Yuru?” Shao Wanru asked subconsciously. She felt that things had gone too smoothly for Qin Yuru. “There must be a reason why Grand Prince has not recognized Qin Yuru for so many years. Now, he even helped Qin Yuru get away with her crime. Is he really going to take Qin Yuru as one of his family members?”

“It depends on what Madam Di has given them! They should be more than some tokens. Anyway, Grand Prince is a person who plays safe. He won’t recognize Qin Yuru unless something makes him do so. There is no shortage of granddaughters in Grand Prince’s Mansion! Moreover, Qin Yuru is such a notorious woman,” said Chu Liuchen meaningfully with an evil smile on his handsome face.

His eyes fell on the courtyard opposite through the window. “I really underestimated him before!”

“Don’t worry. You don’t have to deal with him. Since Grand Prince has done such a thing, he must have a backup plan. His target might be Duke Yong’s Mansion!” said Chu Liuchen.

An idea entered her mind, and Shao Wanru asked, “Those good families?”

“Yes. The backup of those good families!” Chu Liuchen gently kissed Shao Wanru on her cheek, and then looked at her blushed face and comforted her with little sincerity. “Sorry, I really couldn’t resist! I won’t do that again!”

His teasing words made Shao Wanru’s face become even more blushed. She pushed Chu Liuchen hard, pressed his hand and stood up. Then she said in a coquettish tone, “I have to go and get ready to meet the guest from Qin’s Mansion!”

She turned around and left before Chu Liuchen answered!

With his eyes falling on her petite figure, Chu Liuchen couldn’t help smiling. He knew that she would be angry if he continued to make fun of her. So he stopped teasing her, just laughing and watching her go downstairs…
