Chapter 491: 491

The collar was close to the neck . In this area, a bit more fabric was required and it also had to be slighter softer . There were only a few type of materials that had these two characteristics . However, Colorful Yarn had two unique characteristics, which made it suitable for the collar of the dress .

The dress was designed to be gorgeous, but how it was made depended on the embroidery maids of the sewing room . Shao Wanru was sure that the dress came from the sewing room of Duke Xing’s Mansion .

Even though Shao Yanru had schemed well, there had still been a slight error . Of course, the error was based on Shao Wanru’s knowledge of the Colorful Yarn .

It was because she knew about the dress given by her mother Madam of Duke Xing and w.a.n.g Yishu’s handkerchief . Otherwise, as a Young Lady who just arrived in the capital city, how could she know about such a rare tribute? It was even not easy for the imperial concubines to get a piece of material the size of a handkerchief .

But w.a.n.g Yishu had it . Why did w.a.n.g Yishu have it? Of course, Duke Xing’s Mansion had it!

That time, Wanru also guided w.a.n.g Yishu to say that she had a lot of handkerchiefs like this . At that time, she saw that several of the Misses were surprised . Although most of the Misses could not see anything, it was enough . At least some Misses recognized the cloth and knew that it was the most precious Colorful Yarn and they knew that it belonged to Duke Xing’s Mansion .

Such a rare material had definitely not been given to Fifth Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion . She had just returned to the family and she was not favored in Duke Xing’s Mansion .

“Madame Dong said that this is indeed the Colorful Yarn . Originally, Madame Dong did not know what it was . But later, she met several n.o.ble people and showed them the material,” Yujie said with certainty .

Shao Wanru nodded and asked, “When you went to my maternal grandmother’s mansion, you also asked her about the Colorful Yarn . And whether Grandmother had it?” That was still something she was uncertain about, so she had to ask her Grandmother for confirmation .

When Grandmother taught her about the Colorful Yarn, she was still an outsider . There were some things that Grandmother would not tell her in detail .

“I know . So… do I need to take this dress?” Yujie asked .

“You do not have to take the clothes . Take this longevity lock with you . You do not have to go there today . Just go tomorrow!” Shao Wanru looked out of the window . It was getting dark outside . Going out of Yuhui Nunnery at this time would not only attract people’s attention, but it was also not safe . The doors of the Nunnery would be closed by the time she returned .

Now that she had made the decision, Yujie put the clothes back into the box at the corner again . It was not locked . The previous lock had been broken, so she had to find another lock .

The original lock was also a lock that had been changed not long ago . It was as if it had been used from time to time .

Shao Wanru wrote a letter under the lamplight and told Rui’an Great Elder Princess about all that had happened in detail . She was not clear about many things, but she did not hide anything . She would never compare her weakness with others’ strengths .

Old Madam was experienced and knowledgeable and so was Rui’an Great Elder Princess . She was even better than Old Madam . Now she had to rely on her grandmother, lest Old Madam suppressed her repeatedly as an elder .

She would go back to Duke Xing’s Mansion, but it was not the right time now!

As for the so-called kins.h.i.+p of Duke Xing’s Mansion, others did not care about it and she did not care about it either . Who would take it seriously?

The so-called kins.h.i.+p was full of schemes and strong malice . She did not need it, nor did she care about being abandoned!

Everyone just wanted to maintain a cordial relations.h.i.+p on the surface . As for the other things, Duke Xing’s Mansion did not care about her, so she did not care about Duke Xing’s Mansion .

After she finished the letter, she let out a long sigh of relief and put down the brush . Suddenly, she looked up subconsciously and saw a slender figure leaning against the window .

A round moon slowly rose from the huge window and the moonlight was reflected on his robe which was a light cherry color . As the wind blew across, there seemed to a kind of devilish aura emanating from his robe sleeves .

His face looked gentle under the light and he was extremely handsome . He used to be a handsome young man, but now he was an extremely handsome gentleman . The only thing that had not changed was that he seemed to have come out of a painting . He was elegant and handsome . He saw that Shao Wanru was looking at him, so he walked over slowly and sat down on the other side of the table .

He reached out elegantly and poured himself a cup of tea . Then, he took a sip slowly and asked lazily, “What is wrong? Don’t you recognize me?”

Due to his undergoing the main part of the treatment, they had not really seen each other for a year .

Shao Wanru stretched her hand out to hold Chu Liuchen’s wrist and felt his pulse with her slender fingers . Feeling that his pulse was still feeble and low, Shao Wanru could not help frowning . She did not think that he was much better than a year ago, because his lips were still pale and the illness seemed to be etched in his bones .

“Isn’t it effective?”

As her heart throbbed, she wanted to loosen her grip, but suddenly she felt the pulse in his hand jump wildly . Immediately, her face changed greatly and she pressed her fingers down heavily . This time, she really felt the speed of the pulse in Chu Liuchen’s wrist, which was incomparable with that of the previous sluggish speed .

“Your Highness…”

Suddenly, the pulse slowed down again . It was still the same as before, neither too fast nor too slow, as if it was going to die .

Shao Wanru finally understood what was going on . She let go of Chu Liuchen’s hand and asked, “Your Highness, is it interesting?”

“Of course it is interesting . Do you think it is boring?” Chu Liuchen smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Wanru’s head . Then his hand dropped and fell on her long hair . His slender fingers were entwined in her hair and a strand of it was coiled around his fingers!

He tugged her hair slightly and it hurt Shao Wanru . She reached out and slapped him in the face . Only then did his hand fall .

He did not know when he started having such a hobby .

“Your Highness, are you feeling better?” Shao Wanru asked with her eyes wide open . She was surprised and happy and she seemed to heave a sigh of relief .

“I am not!” There was a gleam of surprise in Chu Liuchen’s slender eyes and he smiled gently .

“Is there anything wrong?” Shao Wanru’s smile froze on her face . She blinked her big black eyes, looking a little nervous .

Chu Liuchen picked up the teacup, took another sip and said slowly . “I need to treat it slowly and I will not be fully cured in a short time!”

He would not be able to recover in a short while . Did that mean that he could recover as long as he nursed his health well? Shao Wanru heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that . She relaxed immediately .

Picking up the teacup at hand, Shao Wanru was about to drink it . Suddenly, she found that Chu Liuchen was looking at her with a faint smile . Her hand became stiff and she silently put down the teacup in her hand . Her tender face turned a little red . There was only one teacup on the table and that was only hers .

Chu Liuchen drank her tea just now . Now when she picked the teacup up, it was the one which he used . Chu Liuchen seemed to be in a good mood .

“Prince, why are you here at this time?” Shao Wanru wiped her hands with a handkerchief as if nothing had happened . She pretended not to look at the tea cup which made her blush .

“I heard that Zhuozhuo is going to celebrate her birthday, so I naturally had to come and see her!” Chu Liuchen smiled and lounged on the mat . His beautiful eyes lit up . Apart from his laziness, he really looked like a handsome childe . Unfortunately, his limp posture made him look very lazy .

“Your Highness, where did you get this news?” Shao Wanru turned her head slightly . Her beautiful hair fell like a waterfall from her shoulders, making her look even more pet.i.te .

“Where else can I get the news? Many people in the palace have already known about it . I heard that it was said by the First Miss in your mansion in front of the Imperial Grandmother . It looks like she is very sincere and she is different from the others in Duke Xing’s Mansion!”

The corners of Chu Liuchen’s lips lifted and there was a trace of elegance and n.o.bility in him .

The so-called difference between herself and the other people in Duke Xing’s Mansion was that the other people in Duke Xing’s Mansion were unkind to Shao Wanru . The rumor had spread in the capital city a long time ago and there were various versions because of the fire in Duke Xing’s Mansion . However, no matter which version it was, this Fifth Miss Shao was always made out to be a poor and unpopular child .

A poor child, who returned to the family but had not been valued by her family and had to leave home to observe her filial piety .

Because of Shao Wanru, there was a lot of controversy about Duke Xing’s Mansion, which had always had a good reputation .

Even the Queens in the palace felt that Duke Xing’s Mansion did something wrong . At some banquets, they always heard someone talking about it . All the womenfolk in Duke Xing’s Mansion felt that it was a shameful thing whenever they went out and they were even more reluctant to mention Shao Wanru’s affairs .

Shao Yanru’s words today immediately made people admire her . On the one hand, she showed her goodwill to Shao Wanru publicly . On the other hand, she was not in Duke Xing’s Mansion when that incident happened at that time .

Shao Wanru raised her long, shapely eyebrows and asked . “Your Highness, what do you think I should do?”

“Remain unchanged to deal with all the changes . Recently, Imperial Grandmother is choosing the concubines for Prince Yue and Prince Zhou . I do not think she can sit still!” Chu Liuchen leaned over lazily and directly laid on the mat with his face up to the sky . He kicked away the table on the mat and tugged at Shao Wanru’s sleeve to pull her over .

Before Shao Wanru could react, he pulled her into his arms as usual and tightened his grip . Shao Wanru could not break free even if she wanted to .

“Your Highness…” Shao Wanru really wanted to push him away . She did not expect him to be so skilled even though they had not seen each other for a year . It was as if they had just met each other . It was as if they were still together yesterday .

She had no choice because her head was held tightly in his grip and his arms were wrapped tightly around her slender waist . She struggled to free herself, but she could not . After sensing that his rigid chest was not weak at all, Shao Wanru fell silent . Then, she did not struggle any longer .

The sense of unfamiliarity that she felt when she met him again after a year vanished subconsciously .

“Your Highness, who do you think she will marry?” Shao Wanru asked .

“I think she wants to marry everyone!” Chu Liuchen’s smile became brighter when he saw how docile Shao Wanru was . He suddenly sat up and blew out the lamp on the table that had been kicked away . Then the light went out and the room inside suddenly became dark . However, the bright moonlight outside became more luminescent as it shone through the window .

The moonlight was as gentle and light as water when it fell on the pair who were embracing each other .
