Chapter 502 Remedy, Qing’er Going Down the Mountain

Yujie stepped forward and stood in front of Shao Wanru. She glared at the servant girl and said, “Why didn’t you make it clear just now? When I asked you, you just kept crying. Your words about our Miss were a little more concealed. What would other people think of our Miss?”

“I, I just wanted, wanted Fifth Miss to intercede for me… in front of the supervisor Nanny…” The servant girl’s face was covered with tears, and she was in a panic.

Shao Wanru lowered her water-like eyes and looked at the servant girl silently. She could not be bothered to argue with the girl and waved her hand, saying, “The supervisor old maid has left. You should return to the mansion first.”

“Yes, yes, I’ll go back right now!” The servant girl wiped away her tears, stood up, and left in a hurry. Even though she was limping, she was in a hurry as if someone was chasing her.

Everyone present looked at the back of the servant girl in shock and couldn’t even say a word. The current situation showed that there was something wrong with the girl. She deliberately led others to suspect Fifth Miss before, but in fact, Fifth Miss stood in front of her and she couldn’t recognize her. How could she be the one who punished her?

She had been crying all the time and couldn’t explain clearly, but now she said it very smoothly. Not only that, but she also ran very fast. It was obvious that she had a guilty conscience.

By the time everyone came to their senses, Shao Wanru and her servant girl were no longer around. The onlookers were discussing among themselves as they left.

They all thought that Fifth Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion was a poor person. Her parents died early, and she had been stranded outside. Even her relatives in the Duke Xing’s Mansion treated her indifferently. Previously, they forced her to live in the Yuhui Nunnery, and now they slandered her using the servants in the Duke Xing’s Mansion. It was unknown whether the Old Madam really disliked this granddaughter or Madam of Duke Xing did this to her.

Although it was said to be in the name of Old Madam, it was Madam of Duke Xing who was in charge of the inner court of Duke Xing’s Mansion. If there was really a servant who wanted to frame Fifth Miss, it would most likely be Madam of Duke Xing who gave the order. She had no blood relationship with Fifth Miss Shao. Moreover, it was heard that Madam of Duke Xing hated Fifth Miss Shao very much.

There were many different opinions about the matter that happened two years ago. Now, as time went by, more and more people raked up the past and they were talking about it, which was beyond Old Madam’s expectation…

Shao Wanru went back to the quiet room and looked at the album in her hands. There were thick stains on the album. Yujie had wiped them carefully with a handkerchief, but they had not been wiped off. Not only did they not get wiped off, but also the colors of the album were different because of Yujie’s wiping, which made them look even worse.

“Miss, there were no marks before. Why did they suddenly appear later?” Until now Yujie still didn’t understand why such a phenomenon appeared.

The clean album was suddenly stained after being held by Miss for a while. She was sure that there was absolutely nothing to be sprinkled on the album at that time, and Miss just looked at it when she was looking at it. She saw it clearly by the side.

Then where did the stain that appeared suddenly come from?

Shao Wanru touched the stain with her finger and shaved off some of its colors. She put it in front of her nose and sniffed it gently. Her eyes flashed.

A color that appeared suddenly?

She really knew about it. The pigments were made of “Fengxiao Flower” and could not show the colors for the time being. After a while, the former colors would be revealed.

The flower was tasteless, but the pigments made of it must be bright. If there was no additional color, it would be bright but not very clean, just like the stain at present.

She knew it in her last life. The scholar in Weiyu Pavilion, who had taught her the skill of painting told her about it. But in her memory, the appearance of the scholar in Weiyu Pavilion had always been a vague existence. The things about him were all vague memories as if these memories about him had been blurred.

This was also the reason why Shao Wanru was so worried about the signature of “Scholar in the Weiyu Pavilion”.

“Fengxiao Flower” could not be obtained by ordinary people. It was an excellent product to make some special pigments. If it was not someone who knew well about painting, they would not know about it at all.

Shao Wanru pinched the paper of the album and said to Yujie, “Where is the pile of new sheets of paper that was sent last time?”

“I’ll look for it!” Yujie stood up and went to a corner of the silence room to look for it. After a while, she came over with a stack of paper and asked, “Miss, do you mean this stack of paper?”

Shao Wanru reached out her hand to pinch it. She felt the paper under her hand and nodded.

“These two kinds of paper are the same?” Yujie understood what Shao Wanru meant. She reached out two hands and pinched them respectively. Then she frowned and said, “Miss, although these two kinds of paper are both good, they are obviously not the same kind of paper!”

“Even if they are different, it doesn’t matter!” Shao Wanru smiled and took a few sheets of paper and the album. She walked to the front of the bookcase by the window. There were ink and all kinds of paint on the front of the bookcase. It was the place where she painted.

Shao Wanru laid the paper on the table and looked at the dirty paper. Then she picked up a brush and started to copy the painting.

The painting on the album was very good, especially this one which could be seen that the painter had spent a lot of effort into it. Even if it was just this one, she could still feel the familiarity of the technique and the superb skill of it. It was definitely not painted by ordinary people. Even if she went down the mountain and asked a painter to paint, she might not necessarily be able to invite someone.

On the mountain, however, the painting skills of Pushan Nun were definitely good. At the foot of the mountain, Shao Yanru’s painting skills were also very good. However, what they did not know was Shao Wanru’s painting skill. From her previous life to the present, she could also draw very well.

If it weren’t for her good painting skills, she wouldn’t have become the painting teacher of the girls in the palace in her last life. What’s more, she would be approved by the girls and many people came to her for a painting.

During the royal consort selection, there would always be portraits delivered into the palace. It was said that some painters from the previous dynasty had also received bribes. The painters who did not draw well had lost their lives. In the end, the painters would have to draw very well and clearly. This was a high level of technical requirements for the painters.

And the picture on this album was also the same.

Yujie had seen Shao Wanru’s painting for more than two years. She didn’t understand anything at all at first, but now she knew something about it. She knew that the person who drew the picture had extraordinary skills.

There was admiration in her eyes as she looked at Shao Wanru’s delicate face.

Shao Wanru looked calm and her eyes were dark. She had a charming face and pursed her lips slightly. No matter from which angle, one could see that Shao Wanru was very careful and had done her best to draw the painting.

Shao Wanru had only eaten a little for lunch. After that, she did not even take a nap. She continued to draw. She did not have much time, and they would not give her much time.

Even though she had made the best use of her time to draw, it was still dinner time when she finished it. She had been drawing for a few hours. When she finished, she felt sore all over. She put down the brush in her hand and waved her hand. Shao Wanru’s eyes fell on the paintings she had just drawn and the paintings in the previous album.

The two paintings were almost exactly the same, and even the angles of processing the colors looked very similar.

She heaved a deep sigh of relief and ordered, “Get Qing’er here!”

“Yes, I’ll ask Qing’er to come right now!” Yujie nodded and called in the Qing’er who was squatting in the corridor and playing around. She knew that the little girl called Qing’er was not as harmless as she looked. The person sent by Prince Chen Your Highness would not be really harmless!

“Take the painting and the album. Ask someone to put the painting into the album and wrap it up and remove the damaged one!” Shao Wanru ordered.

Yujie cleaned up all the things on the table, put them into a box, and then handed it to Qing’er.

“When do you want it, Miss?” Qing’er took over the box without any surprise and asked with a smile. Qing’er looked young and innocent because of the baby fat on her face.

“Tomorrow morning!” Shao Wanru thought for a while and said. She thought that they would not give her much time about the painting.

“Okay, Miss, then I’ll go down the mountain for a while!” Qing’er nodded and smiled.

Shao Wanru smiled and waved her hand. She knew that Qing’er could do it. In other words, Chu Liuchen behind Qing’er could do it.

But as for the specifics, she didn’t need to ask.

“Be careful on the way.” But she still reminded her. It was getting late, and the pilgrims who needed to go down the mountain had already gone, and those who stayed would not go down the mountain. The one who went down the mountain at this time would be very eye-catching, especially those around her.

Fortunately, Qing’er was only a little servant girl, and she was also a servant girl who did the donkey work. If it were Yujie, she would never be able to go down the mountain!

What’s more, the servant girl Qing’er was good at disguising herself as a weak person. Shao Wanru was not worried about whether Qing’er could go down the mountain.

“Don’t worry, Miss. I know what to do!” Qing’er understood and bowed to Shao Wanru. Then she walked out with the long box in her arms.

Shao Wanru had her own carriage on the mountain. It had been parked at the parking place of Yuhui Nunnery. The coachman had a room on the side. It was a room that they had rented from Yuhui Nunnery. It was still a short distance from the gate of the Yuhui Nunnery, so it couldn’t be counted as one part of the Yuhui Nunnery.

When Shao Wanru was on the mountain, the coachmen usually stayed in this room except that he had something to do.

There were several such rooms beside the parking lot. The coachmen who sent their masters to the Yuhui Nunnery often took a rest and drank tea in the empty houses, waiting for their masters to come back after bowing to the Buddha.

Shao Wanru had not gone down the mountain, but her servant girls went down the mountain from time to time. So the carriage was used by several servant girls.

Seeing Qing’er coming out, the coachman of Duke Xing’s Mansion happened to see her and greeted her with a smile. “Miss Qing’er, what’s the matter?”

“Great Elder Princess gave the Fifth Miss some things before. She also has something to send to the Great Elder Princess. I will send it now. Please go down the mountain!” Qing’er said with a smile. She looked young and innocent, which made people like her.

“This…” The coachman started to feel awkward.

“What? Can’t I? If I can’t, I’ll borrow a carriage next to it. No matter whose carriage it is, when we arrive at Rui’an Great Elder Princess’ Mansion, they will be thanked!” Qing’er rolled her eyes and smiled, pointing at the carriages parked by the side.

Now that Rui’an Great Elder Princess was mentioned, she believed that everyone would give a face to her.
