After contacting Xiao Xuanzi, Qing’er soon got the news and asked Shao Wanru to meet him in a tea house.

Shao Wanru left via the back door with Yujie.

The old maid at the back door had a good relationship with Yujie recently. From time to time, Yujie would go out from the back door to buy some food and things for Shao Wanru.

Because she was just a servant girl, and she sent a lot of things to the old maid at the back door every time she went out, this time when Yujie went out, the old maid only glanced at the little servant girl behind her and let her go.

In the past, when Yujie went out, she would occasionally take a little servant girl who helped her carry things.

Recently, Fifth Miss Shao had been very influential. Even Madam of Duke Xing had been locked up in the ancestral hall. It was unknown when she would be released. The old maid in the backyard did not dare to trouble the people of the Piaoyun Courtyard. She let them go quickly and even joked with Yujie.

After they came out from the back door, a simple carriage had already stopped at the door. Yujie and Shao Wanru, who was dressed as a little servant girl, got on the carriage. Then the carriage went all the way forward. After turning a few corners, they came to the back door of a teahouse.

Xiao Xuanzi had been waiting at the back door for a long time. When he saw Shao Wanru getting out of the carriage, he hurried over with a smile and stretched out his hands to lead her inside. Shao Wanru nodded and followed him inside.

They entered from the back door, went up to the second floor, and then went up to the third floor from a secluded corner on the second floor. Finally, they entered a private room on the third floor.

This private room was very large. It was divided into the inner room and the outer room. Xiao Xuanzi stopped Yujie at the door of the inner room and pointed inside with a smile.

Yujie stopped, standing outside with Xiao Xuanzi.

Shao Wanru entered the inner room.

On a wide chair near the window, Chu Liuchen sat there lazily. He wore a navy blue brocade robe, and his black hair was tied up casually. He didn’t wear a crown, which made him look more relaxed and casual.

There was a gauze curtain on the window, and the room was lit. But it was not so bright. The light was hazy, but it made people feel that he was as handsome as the jade. Even if he was wearing such a heavy-colored robe, he was still handsome and elegant.

This man was really good-looking no matter what clothes he wore!

Of course, if he sat more uprightly, he would look more elegant. However, at this moment, he was leaning there and did not seem to have many bones, which made him look a little slovenly.

“Sit down!” Hearing the voice, Chu Liuchen didn’t raise his head and said. He reached out to serve a cup of tea for Shao Wanru and pushed it to the opposite side.

Shao Wanru sat down opposite to him, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

As soon as the warm tea entered her stomach, it immediately diluted the coldness she felt outside. It seemed that the room had eliminated all the coldness outside.

“I heard that you would have something urgent to discuss with me. What’s the matter?” Chu Liuchen raised his long and narrow eyes and asked lazily.

“Did Xiao Xuanzi tell you things about Doctor Qiu?” Shao Wanru didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

“What’s the use of a little doctor? Why does he make you be so anxious to see me?” Chu Liuchen said with a smile. His handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of excitement, which made him extremely attractive. It seemed that he was in a good mood.

In the past, he had always made appointments with Shao Wanru or directly blocked her. He had never seen Shao Wanru specially make an appointment with him.

“Prince, I’m talking about something serious!” Shao Wanru said helplessly.

“Am I not serious? Don’t worry, a doctor can’t stir up trouble. I feel much better now. I won’t let other doctors treat me as they like!”

Chu Liuchen squinted, saying with a smile.

Hearing his words, Shao Wanru felt relieved and knew that he had understood what she meant. “Prince, do you also think that Doctor Qiu came to the capital for you?”

“He is such a good doctor. It seems that he is also a famous doctor. When he just arrived at the Deputy Prime Minister’s Mansion, he cured the Second Young Master of the Prime Minister Wen. It is said that the injury of the Second Young Master also baffled many doctors. As soon as Doctor Qiu came, he didn’t use much medicine on him. After a few needles, he was almost cured!”

Chu Liuchen looked at Shao Wanru with his beautiful eyes and said slowly. He turned the teacup in his hands, and a perverse sneer appeared on his thin lips.

He had really neglected this Doctor Qiu. If Shao Wanru hadn’t asked Xiao Xuanzi to check again and again, he really wouldn’t have found that there was such a fish that escaped the net.

“He cured the Second Young Master Wen at that time. Is he going to recommend himself into the palace through this?” Shao Wanru’s heart jittered. Although she had guessed something, she was not so clear about it.

“That should be the reason. Three years ago, I was in poor health. My uncle and Imperial Grandmother asked people to find famous doctors from all over the world to treat me. The Doctor Qiu might come to the capital at that time. But he came to the capital after Mingqiu Nun. At that time, Mingqiu Nun’s diagnosis and treatment had some effect. I didn’t want others to treat me again.”

Chu Liuchen said.

“What’s more, a recommended doctor before had treated me to vomit blood. My condition was even more serious!”

Therefore, this Doctor Qiu came to the capital city to treat Chu Liuchen. Everyone in the country knew that Chu Liuchen was in poor health, and they also knew that Chu Liuchen was looking for famous doctors all over the country. At that time, the timing of him to come to the capital city was quite good, but his luck was a little bad. In addition, Chu Liuchen’s health was even worse because of the new imperial physician.

Shao Wanru hesitated for a moment and said, “Did… did Prime Minister Wen really find him?”

Prime Minister Wen impressed her badly. In her last life, Prime Minister Wen also allowed Madam Wen and Gu Xishu to deal with her and even drove her out of the Wen’s Mansion. But when she thought about it carefully, Prime Minister Wen did not seem to plot against Chu Liuchen. What’s more, when Chu Liuchen was in power, the Wen’s Mansion was still standing.

“No! It’s the cousin Miss from Prime Minister Wen’s Mansion!” Chu Liuchen said with a smile.

Shao Wanru’s heart skipped a beat and she asked anxiously, “Gu Xishu?”

“Zhuozhuo, how do you know the name of the cousin Miss from Prime Minister Wen’s Mansion?” Chu Liuchen raised his handsome eyebrows and asked with a smile. His jade-like face looked more and more handsome under the light.

“This… I met her before, and she even ripped the hairpin from me!” Shao Wanru lowered her head uneasily. For some reason, she felt a little confused and subconsciously avoided Chu Liuchen’s beautiful eyes.

Being looked at by him in this way, she felt that he had thousands of emotions, which were extremely attractive.

“Oh, it’s because of this. I thought it was Third Young Master Wen…” Chu Liuchen said with connotation.

Shao Wanru’s heart skipped a beat. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand and then slowly relaxed. She raised her watery eyes and changed the topic with a serious expression. “Gu Xishu is the cousin Miss of Prime Minister Wen’s Mansion, but she is just a girl in the boudoir. Why did she find a doctor for such a purpose?”

No matter how she looked at it, Gu Xishu had nothing to do with this matter.

“Of course, I don’t know this woman. She must have been cheated by someone, so she invited this doctor surnamed Qiu to the capital and then sent him to the palace. Unfortunately, I don’t need him, but Duke Xing’s Mansion used him. Then, Doctor Qiu was borrowed to your Duke Xing’s Mansion!”

Chu Liuchen narrowed his handsome eyes and said.

His words were very straightforward, almost covering all the things that happened after Doctor Qiu came to the capital city. Shao Wanru fell silent and frowned tightly. She knew the meaning of Chu Liuchen’s words.

If the reason why Doctor Qiu came to the capital city before was because they wanted to utilize him to deal with Chu Liuchen, then after he was useless to Chu Liuchen, Doctor Qiu would be used to plot against her.

He wanted to take advantage of Wang Yishu to deal with her. At that time, she had just entered Duke Xing’s Mansion, and then she would inevitably live in Duke Xing’s Mansion. At this time, if she was exposed that she had killed Wang Yishu, she would not have good results.

But at that time, her actions were faster than that of Madam of Duke Xing and Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion. As a result, their plans failed and Wang Yishu lived for three more years. Over the past three years, she suffered from an illness which was caused by Doctor Qiu. His needles were not to cure Wang Yishu’s illness, but to let her endure and suffer.

This process lasted for three years. Now that she had come down the mountain, they wanted to plot her again!

After thinking for a while, Shao Wanru asked again, “Who cheated her?” She felt inexplicably complicated.

“Who else could it be except for someone from your Duke Xing’s Mansion? It can be seen from sending people to Duke Xing’s Mansion quickly afterward. You would figure it out by checking who is compatible with her in Duke Xing’s Mansion!” Chu Liuchen said casually. It was not difficult to investigate this matter, and she just needed to inquire about it in the mansion.

“It should be Shao Yanru, it must be her!” Shao Wanru said with certainty. She tilted her face slightly, and Chu Liuchen’s eyes fell on her face, which made her feel that she could not ignore him.

“I heard that when the children of Wen’s Mansion and Duke Xing’s Mansion were young, there was a side door for them to go in and out at will. Gu Xishu should have a good relationship with Shao Yanru at that time. Although the two families blocked the side door later, they should have a good relationship!”

A trace of coldness and cruelty flashed in Shao Wanru’s eyes, and she only felt a chill slowly rising from her heart.

She finally understood why Gu Xishu couldn’t go along well with her in her last life. After Wen Xichi’s death, she was just a powerless person without any children. How could Gu Xishu not bear her? Why would she slander Shao Wanru and drive her from Wen’s Mansion?

Her existence won’t have anything to do with Gu Xishu. Such a thing shouldn’t have happened.

But it turned out that the root of all this was Duke Xing’s Mansion and Shao Yanru…

She narrowed her eyes slightly and hid the bloodthirsty coldness in her eyes. Sure enough, everything about her had something to do with Duke Xing’s Mansion. They forced her to step into the desperate situation step by step. The last blow was made by Shao Yanru herself. When she was cut at the waist, her whole person seemed to be bleeding.

The blood gathered into a stream, winding under her body. At that time, she was even still alive.

“What’s wrong with you?” Finding that her delicate lips suddenly became as pale as snow, Chu Liuchen reached out and held her hands. He felt that her hands were also cold and had no warmth. He frowned and asked unhappily. He squeezed her hands hard and held her hands tightly!
