Medical Princess

Chapter 879 Shao Wanru’s Wedding Comes

In fact, Wen Xichi didn’t mean that. But after all those words came out of his mouth, a buzz ran in his head. Then a trace of suspicion came into being in his mind. He had never suspected like this!

Wen Xichi still remembered what had happened to his younger sister. At that time, it was said that Wen Xiyan was playing with Gu Xishu. But later, Gu Xishu was called away, and Wen Xiyan was left alone. Then, the wet nurse guarding Wen Xiyan was also called away. Finally, when they saw Wen Xiyan again, the little young girl had been dead.

Madam Wen cried and then fainted beside her daughter’s cold body. Gu Xishu kept calling her cousin’s name and cried so hard that she couldn’t stand up. She said regretfully that if she hadn’t left at that time, her cousin wouldn’t have been dead.

It was also because Gu Xishu looked so grieved and regretful for Wen Xiyan’s death that Madam Wen doted on Gu Xishu from then on, even more than she did to her sons.

Because the accident happening to Wen Xiyan had so many familiarities with that of Four Miss Shao, Wen Xichi immediately remembered his sister’s death, which Gu Xishu was also involved in.

In the past, he had never suspected Gu Xishu, nor did he often think of the sorrow that was buried deep in the bottom of his heart. But now, he no longer believed Gu Xishu, so he thought of her as a suspect with the greatest malice.

The suspicion in his mind made his blood run cold. If his sister’s death was not an accident, could she be murdered by Gu Xishu?

Madam Wen seemed to have the same opinion as Wen Xichi. Her lips trembled as she looked at Gu Xishu, but she couldn’t say a word. She didn’t dare to think more.

“What... what are you talking about, Third Cousin? It was my fault that I didn’t keep an eye on Cousin Sister, and caused her... But what happened to Fourth Miss Shao had nothing to do with me. Fourth Miss Shao is an adult, and I have little contact with her. There... there must be someone who intended to set me up and hurt Fourth Miss Shao!”

Gu Xishu in a panic hurriedly covered her face and cried. This time, she did not shed tears but cried out loud.

She leaned against the chair railing and sobbed, “Third Cousin, if you blame me for not taking good care of Cousin Sister at that time, I won’t deny it. I will even be willing to pay it with my life if you want. But I don’t admit what happened today. I didn’t do that!”

Seeing Gu Xishu sit on the chair in despair and hearing her words just now, Madam Wen couldn’t help crying. The death of her youngest daughter was a scar on her heart. No matter when it was touched, it would hurt a lot.

“Well, don’t cry anymore. It’s not your fault. It’s all Yan’er’s... Yan’er’s...” Madam Wen choked with sobs and couldn’t speak.

“Mother, don’t be sad! Younger Sister... It’s been so long. If God blesses her, she has been reincarnated into another good family. She must live a happy life now.” Seeing his mother crying so hard, Wen Xichi comforted her, fearing that her health would be harmed.

Every time Madam Wen thought of her youngest daughter, she couldn’t stop crying. For so many years, Madam Wen had been in poor health because of this.

Sometimes she even fainted away while crying. Wen Xichi didn’t dare to let his mother cry anymore, so he comforted her in a soft voice.

“I... I know... I thought so too. I thought that such a good girl like your sister would definitely be reincarnated into a better family, but... but...” Madam Wen wiped her tears as she cried.

“Aunt, I’m willing to cut off my hair to pray for Cousin Sister. From now on, I only hope that she can be reincarnated into a good family and live a happy life!” Gu Xishu cried and said. Then she stood up and threw herself in front of Prime Wen. She knelt and put her hands below Madam Wen’s knees.

Her words made Madam Wen feel distressed and sad. She couldn’t help hugging her and bursting into tears. “You... what are you talking about... As long as you are fine, I will be very happy. You don’t need to do that for your Cousin Sister!”

All her displeasure and annoyance disappeared in Gu Xishu’s crying.

Madam Wen held Gu Xishu in her arms and cried as if she were holding her daughter. If her daughter were still alive, she would grow up and get married. And She would intimately hug her mother like this.

Wen Xichi frowned tightly with a trace of fierceness flashing in his eyes. He had to investigate it since he was in suspicion.

In fact, the accident of Shao Cailing was a mistake made by Wen Xichi. He intended to teach Gu Xishu a lesson so that she would not dare to frame Shao Wanru again. It should have been Gu Xishu who was pushed into the water. Unexpectedly, the servant sent by Wen Xichi only saw a Miss there and took her for Gu Xishu, so he pushed Shao Cailing.

What happened in his study made Wen Xichi realize that Gu Xishu seemed to have ulterior motives. It seemed that she wanted to use the painting to threaten him and Shao Wanru. So he decided at once to give Gu Xishu a lesson and ask his servant to take action. Although he was a gentleman, he never thought that he should keep elegant to bad people. When necessary, he should take action to retaliate.

There seemed to be someone behind Gu Xishu. He didn’t just want to teach Gu Xishu a lesson, but also wanted to force the person behind the scene to show up.

Unexpectedly, he taught the wrong person by accident.

However, the mistake led him to doubt what happened in the past. Since so many years had passed, it was difficult to start an investigation on it now. And it seemed that his mother’s heart ached with pity for Gu Xishu. But Wen Xichi felt that if he wanted to investigate it, he would find some clues.

Since he worked in the Ministry of Justice, he had been very prone to have a doubt. For example, Gu Xishu looked very guilty in his eyes. Since she was guilty, there must be something wrong with her...

Several peaceful days passed. Shao Cailing’s accident was fading away. Old Madam just gave her some tonics.

Owed to the fact that Shao Wanru fed Shao Cailing with hot soup with ginger and brown sugar in time, Shao Cailing was well cured.

Marquis Xing’s Mansion was very busy in the following days. Even Old Madam had to help Shao Wanru select and prepare dowries for her marriage.

In the last few days, endless bad things had happened to Marquis Xing’s Mansion except for Shao Wanru’s wedding. The whole mansion had to spare no effort and attention to prepare it. Empress Dowager even warned Old Madam by hints that if something happened to Shao Wanru’s wedding day, Marquis Xing’s Mansion might lose the title of marquis.

Since Old Madam had received such a hint from Empress Dowager, how could she dare to slight it?

She didn’t intend to release the two granddaughters who were locked up in case they made trouble again.

Zhao Xiran was helpful. Although she couldn’t deal with many problems as a rookie, she always asked Old Madam to give advice and make decisions. In addition, she listened to Old Madam respectfully. That pleased and satisfied Old Madam, and she no longer hated Zhao Xiran as much as before.

At first, Old Madam liked Zhao Xiran. Of course, it was because of Minister Zhao’s Mansion behind Zhao Xiran. If it hadn’t been for the demotion of the rank of her mansion, Old Madam would have thought more highly of Zhao Xiran.

Shao Wanru sewed embroideries in her courtyard. Shao Cailing came to help from time to time. Different from Shao Caihuan, she didn’t want to profit from giving help. Sometimes she would put forward her opinion when she thought differently from Shao Wanru. Shao Wanru and Shao Cailing looked more like sisters than the former and Shao Caihuan did.

In Marquis Xing’s Mansion, only Shao Cailing could make Shao Wanru feel what was sisterhood, and that was very unexpected. Shao Cailing had never been close to Shao Wanru before, and they wouldn’t have become so close if it hadn’t been for this accident.

In the blink of an eye came Prince Chen’s wedding day. Shao Wanru was woken up early in the morning. First, she took a bath and changed her clothes, and then she was brought to the dressing table to change the hairstyle, clear off the fine hair on the face and neck, and trim the hair on the temples.

The Lucky Lady invited was also extraordinary. She had been the most distinguished Lucky Lady invited by some noble aristocratic families.

It was not easy to find such a Lucky Lady, a woman of noble status who must have both parents and one son and one daughter, and live a harmonious marriage life with her husband.

Fortunately, it was Prince Chen’s wedding, so they succeeded in hiring her. Of course, this Lucky Lady was actually a princess of the imperial family. No one from an ordinary family could afford to hire her.

Moreover, Prince Chen was Empress Dowager’s favorite grandson and the Emperor’s favorite nephew, so no one dare to refuse to attend his wedding.

Looking at Shao Wanru’s exceedingly beautiful face, the Lucky Lady kept praising her. She said that Shao Wanru was the most beautiful one among the brides she had ever seen and definitely deserved the title of First Beauty. Shao Wanru was the best match for Prince Chen, and Empress Dowager would definitely like her.

As for Prince Chen, none of the people who had seen him would deny that he was like a handsome young man who came out of a painting.

Many people had been secretly ridiculing the Fifth Miss of Marquis Xing’s Mansion. If the red veil was lifted and the bride was found not as good-looking as the groom, it would be a joke in the future. The source of this content is novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt - novelenglish.net . bin

The Lucky Lady had laughed at Shao Wanru secretly in her heart too. Now after she saw Shao Wanru’s appearance, she had to admit that the two of them were a couple made in heaven. If they weren’t matched, no one would be worthy of such a beauty or such a handsome man!

This would be the most pleasing and also the most compatible pair!

Lucky Lady kept praising Shao Wanru with a smile while helping her to do the facials which made her glossy face shinier and shiner.

It was unknown whether it was because the hair on her face had been removed or because of the atmosphere here, Shao Wanru’s face had always been red, which made her look more and more delicate and charming.

On such a good day, Shao Caihuan and Shao Jie’er were also released. If they did not come out on such a good day, it would have a bad impact on their marriages.

It was the result of Zhao Xiran’s pleading, and Shao Wanru didn’t object to it, so Old Madam released them.

Shao Jie’er sat beside and looked at Shao Wanru’s beautiful face jealously. She almost crumpled the handkerchief in her hand. How good it would be if she were the bride of today’s wedding! She was not sure whom Commandery Prince Qing would want, her or her Third Sister. She failed to do the task ordered by her grandma so she did not dare to ask Old Madam.
