Chapter 194 - It Seems to be An Old Acquaintance

Ning Xueqing?

Was this Ning Xueqing, who secretly slept with Qin Wanru’s first fiance in the last life?

Qin Wanru still had not figured out the reason for her first engagement. Some of the memories about the engagement were lost, but Qin Wanru remembered that her first engagement seemed to be related to an accident. To hush up a scandal, it was hurriedly arranged for her to be engaged with the man.

Qin Wanru concluded later events that Ning Xueqing was the cousin of her fiance Wang Shengxue, and there would’ve been a long-term relationship between them. The reason why Wang Shengxue postponed the wedding was that he was a libertine. He flirted not only with Ning Xueqing, but also other women, and he did not intend to marry Ning Xueqing.

Madam Di and Madam of Duke Xing must have framed Qin Wanru and forced her to be engaged with Wang Shengxue. Wang Shengxue was Duke Xing’s nephew. He felt honored when Madam of Duke Xing found a match for him and immediately agreed. As for Ning Xueqing, he had already forgotten her.

Unexpectedly, his cousin, Ning Xueqing, was scheming. First of all, she said nothing about Wang Shengxue’s engagement. After she got pregnant, she immediately made a fuss and exposed her relationship with Wang Shengxue during the birthday party of Madam Dowager of Duke Xing, and then asked Madam Dowager to agree to their marriage. Before so many people, Madam Dowager of Duke Xing had no choice but to agree even if she was not happy!

All in all, it was a happy ending!

But now Qin Wanru had nothing to do with Qing Xueqing, and she also had no relationship with Wang Shengxue. Why did she deal with Qin Wanru now?

This was the first time Qin Wanru had seen Madam of Duke Xing, let alone Wang Shengxue, Duke Xing’s nephew. Madam Di and Madam of Duke Xing had not met yet. It was impossible that they colluded to frame Qin Wanru now.

Then why did Ning Xueqing come here? How could two people who had little relationship in the last life suddenly have a connection? If Ning Xueyan had not made a fuss in the last life and Qin Wanru had not been taken to see her, she would not have known Qing Xueqing!

Qin Wanru looked at Ning Xueqing suspiciously. She suddenly stopped in the middle of the stairs.

As soon as she stopped, the maid who followed her hurriedly came to help her, and anxiously said, “Are you okay, Miss? Do you want a rest? Did you have a fright just now?”

“Was she frightened by the cup I threw just now?” Qin Wanru frowned and looked at Ning Xueqing’s back. Looking at her from behind, Qin Wanru found that she was really delicate.

In the last life, such a scandal happened in Duke Xing’s Mansion. Although Wang Shengxue was not the young master of Duke Xing’s Mansion, his scandal still disgraced Duke Xing’s Mansion, because he was Duke Xing’s close nephew. Madam Dowager was so angry that she overturned the table on the spot and smashed so many things. However, Ning Xueqing, who was present, was not scared at all!

What did Ning Xueqing want to do this time?

“I’m fine!” Her voice was soft, and it made people think the speaker was very weak.

The maid angrily glared at the door of Qin Wanru’s private room and said, “What kind of a person is that? Why didn’t she wait till she went back before scolding her servants? She must be ill-bred. Miss, how about resting for a while before leaving? I’m afraid you will feel uncomfortable along the way.”

“Okay, let’s have a rest!” The woman held the maid’s hand and turned around. At this time, Qin Wanru could see her pale face, and she widened her eyes at once.

This was definitely not Ning Xueqing!

At first glance, Qin Wanru thought the woman looked like Ning Xueqing, but in fact, she did not. She looked more soft and gentle, which would make men take pity on her. Although she was not particularly beautiful, her delicacy and temperament was special and attractive to the opposite sex.

“But I was framed by such a woman!”

Qin Wanru saw her approaching slowly and entering the previous room. Then there was a sound of a chair being dragged. After that, she saw the young male servant running out in a hurry and coming back with a doctor. It seemed that they had talked about something in the room before the doctor left. After a while, the woman and the maid reappeared at the door, followed by the young male servant.

This time, they went down the stairs and left the teahouse without stopping.

Throughout the whole process, Qin Wanru stood quietly behind the door and watched them. She had the feeling that this woman had something to do with Ning Xueqing, but she was not Ning Xueqing.

Actually, it had nothing to do with her. And in this life, she would never have any relationship with that libertine. But there was a voice in her heart reminding her that this woman was framing her and it must have something to do with Ning Xueqing. Qin Wanru felt very comfortable when she thought of it.

It seemed that something in her heart would break out, and her hands and feet were cold.

Yujie cried when she found that her condition was not normal, “Miss, Miss!”

People had gone, but Qin Wanru was still staring at the corridor, which made her feel flustered.

Qin Wanru did not answer. Her ruddy face turned pale, her mouth was tightly closed, and she tightly clenched her hands. She gave people a feeling of coldness.

This Qin Wanru made Yujie worried. She reached out, grabbed Qin Wanru’s clothes, and gently shook them as she said, “Miss!”

Her voice was not loud, but enough to rouse Qin Wanru, like a bell in the morning. Qin Wanru woke up from her past memory. She took a deep breath, moved her stiff feet, and went to the chair to sit down.

The warm sunshine outside came in through the window, and also slowly filled her heart, which made her a little warm. Now that she had reborn. She was not the sad woman who had been framed and then cut in two at the waist in the Kingdom of Dongcang in the last life!

Qin Wanru took a sip of tea on the table, and calmed herself down. When she looked up again, she had regained her calm look. She moved her legs and said, “Yuru, let’s go!”

Yujie thought that Qin Wanru wanted to go back to the mansion, and asked in confusion, “Are we going back to the mansion? Don’t we investigate that woman?”

“We’ll certainly investigate that woman!” Qin Wanru stood up. Because she had just moved her legs, her legs were no longer numb.

“But they have gone.”

Qin Wanru stood up and said, “Let’s find a clinic!”

The young male servant came back soon, bringing along the doctor he’d invited for the woman, which meant there was a clinic nearby. Besides, he did not ask anyone where the clinic was when he went down. Obviously, he was familiar with the location of the clinic.

When Yujie went to check , Qin Wanru asked the accountant at the counter where the clinic was, then she went to the clinic on the right side of the teahouse with Yujie.

The clinic was in a small alley on the right, and it was easy to find. After they entered, a young male servant came over, and asked with a smile, “Miss, are you going to see the doctor? Do you want to see a doctor here or invite a doctor some place?”

This was a small but pretty good clinic. There were many flags hanging on the wall. They must have been sent by the patients after they were cured.

The doctor on duty was not outside, but inside.

“The woman who saw the doctor in the teahouse just now was our Miss’s cousin. She forgot to ask the doctor something. Then she happened to encounter my Miss, so she specially asked my Miss to ask the doctor for her!”

Yujie came forward and said.

The young man knew that a doctor had gone outside to see the patient, so he smiled and said, “I see, please wait a moment!”

As he said that, he went into the inner room, and soon out came an old doctor, who was the one Qin Wanru just saw.

After coming out, the old doctor directly sat down. He looked at Qin Wanru and impatiently said, “What’s wrong with First Miss Ning? I have made myself clear. She just need to relax and needn’t take medicine. It’s not a big thing at all. Every time she feels ill, she will make a fuss as if something big is going to happen!”

When she heard the address of “First Miss Ning”, Qin Wanru was a little surprised. But she did not show it on her face. She politely asked with concern on her face, “Is there really nothing serious?”

“Yes, there’s nothing serious!” The old doctor massaged his forehead, and really thought that Qin Wanru was a family member of the patient, “She just has been spoiled too much. She was healthy, but you always made a mountain out of a molehill when she felt uncomfortable so that now she thinks she is weak. There is nothing serious, and she needn’t take medicine!”

Qin Wanru helplessly said, “But she is always so weak!”

“That’s because you spoil her too much. If you don’t pay attention to her, nothing will happen. Every time I saw her, I thought she was seriously ill. I have something else to do now, so I have to leave.” The old doctor became more impatient. He stood up, turned around, and walked in, directly leaving Qin Wanru.

“Hey, you…” Yujie was a little angry.

“Miss, I’m really sorry. There are patients in our clinic now, that’s why he was in a hurry and angry. Please forgive us!” The young male servant hurried to apologize and ask for forgiveness, then he continued, “But First Miss Ning is really… it’s not our doctor’s fault to say those words. She’s always shocked just by some small things, that’s why our doctor was also upset! ”

Qin Wanru continued to ask while keeping her countenance, “This is not the first time?”

“Of course this is not the first time. Just a few days ago, it seemed to be the heir of Duke Yong, no, it was the heir of Duke Yong, whom I haven’t seen before, who sent her here. It was said she was seriously ill and almost died. But in fact, there was nothing serious. If First Miss Ning’s face hadn’t been so pale, our doctor wouldn’t have paid any attention to her!”

The young male servant said helplessly.

This First Miss Ning was really a person who liked creating a disturbance. But in fact, there was nothing serious every time. At most, she was a little shocked by something, or was angry and comfortable by what other people said. She originally enjoyed good health, but now she looked like she would be easily blown down by the wind.

It made people speechless.

The young male servants, of course, did not dare say these words. Even the doctor could only say that she should relax her mind and take a good rest. But to what extent she could recover depended on herself!

Although the young male servant did not speak out his meaning clearly, both Qin Wanru and Yu Jie understood it. They looked at each other and knew the answer. First Miss Ning suffered from anxiety, rather than a real illness. For example, a healthy person, who always said he was ill and felt that he could not be shocked, would be really ill one day.

So, did this First Miss Ning fall ill because of herself?

“Does the heir of Duke Yong have a good relationship with her?” After a second, Qin Wanru suddenly thought of a key question, and asked with a smile on her face.

She was guessing that this was the key as to why this woman framed her.
