The body falling involuntarily to the side, Qin Wanru then closed her eyes and was ready to withstand the pain. It was out of expectation that there was no sharp pain, but just a tremble. She felt something under her body was a bit soft, not like hard ground. She reached out unbelievably and touched it, and found it to be warm. "Qin Wanru··· you are dead!" The voice came from under Qin Wanru, thus she suddenly opened her eyes, which looked straightly to another ones with rage. She was familiar with them. Qi Wanru glanced and saw the faint blood on the corner of the thin lips, it was Chu Liuchen, why was he here? She couldn't think of too much and got up suddenly after pushed him on his body subconsciously. "Qin Wanru, do you want to··· die!" Chu Liuchen snorted, since he was pressed to the ground again when he was about to get up. Qin Wanru was scared by his voice which was full of anger, thus she lo

"Miss, the Young Lady is too outrageous. It is obviously her own business, but she just viciously blamed you for everything, and Qing Cui, she is also on her side!" Qing Yue was also angry and said, "Miss, let's go tell the general and the Old Grandma." "It's useless!" Qin Wanru smirked and smiled softly. She then folded the letter. "This letter was not written by Qin Yuru, since her hand is now hurt." Qin Yuru couldn't write it at all, because her right hand was injured. "Not written by her, who would write it?" Qing Yue was stunned and said with surprise. "It should be Mrs. Qin, who could only tell so many details." Qin Wanru said it calmly since she knew that it letter with so many details could not be written by the injured hand of Qin Yuru. "How can Madam write such a letter." Qing Yue's face turned red because of shame. If she was not mistaken, the beginning part sounded like it was written by the Young Lady

It was the next day that Mrs. Qin sent to the family temple to look for Shui Ruolan. Mrs. Qin and Shui Ruolan had not met each other since that incident. She had initially thought that she did not need to come here, she could well humiliate Shui Ruolan when opportunities arose. However, it seemed that there was no other choice but to pay her a visit this day. "How have you been these few days, my dear cousin?" said Mrs. Qin with a smile as soon as she entered through the door as she put a handkerchief to her mouth. She had applied ice to her cheek last night and the swell had somewhat subsided. Given that she also applied a layer of blush on her cheek, basically, no one could tell that she had been slapped on her face the day before. "I'm doing alright!" Shui Ruolan replied, having braced herself for this. She looked at Mrs. Qin calmly with her black eyes. Mrs. Qin threw a jealous look at Shui Ruolan, who, with a fair complexio

Mrs. Qin immediately froze after hearing these words and looked embarrassed. She had forgotten that Qin Wanru had already found out that she was not Qin Wanru's birth mother earlier on! "Mother, you have been taken in by the words of this maid the moment you entered the room and thereby pushing all the blame to me. Did you not notice that this maid had attracted the attention of many so that she could shame me in front of them? Don't you find it strange, Mother, that my place in this house is lower than that of the maid?" Qin Wanru lifted her gaze to the stunned Mrs. Qin and continued. "I did not realize that the maids in this house are so lacking in discipline." Mrs. Qin responded, feeling anger arising in her out of shame. She was beginning to get nervous having been questioned. "Don't you have any idea of what's happening in my yard all along, given that you are in charge of the backyard?" A composed looking Qin Wanru contin

Qin Huaiyong basically left Mrs. Qin with that last statement. Mrs Qin was frozen in place, wearing a stunned expression on her color-drained face, as Qin Huaiyong left, Mrs. Qin just looked on while unable to say a word. When Nanny Zhou finally entered Mrs. Qin's room, she could see Mrs. Qin in a daze, with her face drained of its colors. She approached her in two quick steps and called out softly, "Madam!" Mrs. Qin woke up from her trance, reached for Nanny Zhou's hand and started wailing, saying, "How could he do this to me? He said he wanted to take that slut as a concubine. She's not worthy, she's just a widow! How could she become the general's concubine? No way am I going to agree to this, no way!" She cursed and swear as she wailed, her face filled with hatred and malice and a vein bulging on her neck. She dug her manicured nails into Nanny Zhou so much so that Nanny Zhou's face turned pale with pain. She quickly pushed
