Chapter 195 The Books Sent by Wen Xichi

“Didn’t you say you are cousins?” The young male servant was stunned for a moment, as if he did not understand why Qin Wanru did not know the Heir of Duke Yong.

Yujie cleverly explained, “Our young lady is Miss First Ning’s cousin, but she has nothing to do with Duke Yong’s Mansion!”

“Oh, I see!” The young male servant thought he had understood it. Qin Wanru was a relative of First Miss Ning’s mother, while the Heir of Duke Yong was the relative of First Miss Ning’s father, so it was possible that Qin Wanru did not know the Heir of Duke Yong.

Qin Wanru asked again, “Does a few days ago mean half a month ago?”

“Yes, half a month ago. Alas, it was annoying and she seemed to be dying at that time!” The young male servant shook his head with a mature look.

“Can I go to Ning’s Mansion directly from here? I just arrived in the capital, so I don’t know the way!” Qin Wanru showed a modest smile and changed the topic.

“Yes. Go from here without going through the opposite street, and turn right at the end. The second house on your right is Ning’s Mansion…” the young male servant said enthusiastically. He even said some trivial things. Then he went to the door and pointed out, and specially told Qin Wanru the house number.

Qin Wanru remembered what the young male servant said, then said thanks with a smile on her face and left with Yujie. When they got to the door, she looked in the direction the young male servant had pointed and turned to the way they came before.

The carriage was parked near the teahouse. But Qin Wanru did not go back to the carriage directly. She went to her shop to see Nanny Dong instead.

Nanny Dong was asking people to carefully move things inside. Seeing Qin Wanru coming, she quickly wiped her sweat and greeted her with a smile.

“Second Miss!”

“How is it going?” Qin Wanru looked at everything inside. Although it was still a mess, it could be seen that it was brighter than before, and the layout was better.

“Nanny Dong, you’ve had a long day. Thank you!” Qin Wanru said with a smile.

“You are welcome, Miss. This is what I should do!” With a smile on her face, Nanny Dong looked more energetic than she was when Qin Wanru first met her.

“When will it open?”

“It can open in a month if we are fast. If we are slow, it will be a little later,” Nanny Dong thought for a moment then said.

It meant that it could be done before the Spring Festival, which was a good time to open a shop because there would be more customers than usual. Qin Wanru was satisfied with this.

Then she nodded and said, “Nanny Dong, if you need anything, you can come to me directly!”

After listening to Qin Wanru, Nanny Dong hesitated and wanted to say something.

Qin Wanru tentatively asked with a smile on her face, “Are you worried about Xiu’er?”

“Yes, I’m worried about Xiu’er. I haven’t had time to see her in so many days. I’m afraid that she will cause trouble for you!” Nanny Dong said while forcing a smile on her face, “She grew up with me. Although she is not young, she is very innocent and naive. Before, I found that she had a good relationship with Qing Xue in your courtyard. But I think that Qing Xue wants to be more than just a servant girl and Xiu’er shouldn’t know her. But Xiu’er didn’t listen to me. I’m afraid that she…”

Qin Wanru gently asked, “Have you advised her before?”

“Yes, I have advised her not to play with such a scheming people. She is innocent and will be used by others. But she… didn’t obey my suggestion!” While speaking of Dong Xiu’er, Nanny Dong was sad and helpless. She paused for a second and continued to say with slightly red eyes, “I’ve protected her so well that her character now is…”

Qin Wanru meditated for a moment and made a decision in her mind. She soothed Nanny Dong with a soft voice, “Don’t worry, Nanny Dong. I’ll separate her from Qing Xue for some time!”

This matter was still unclear. She also had not figured out how Qing Xue knew First Miss Ning. But needless to say, it had to have something to do with Madam Di and her daughter. She did not expect that the accident of Nanny Zhou would make Madam Di come up with such an idea.

She had thought that it had been so long before Madam Di and Qin Yuru made any trouble. Although Madam Di seldom came, she was quiet and calm when she came and had done nothing, which made people suspect for no reason. Now it seemed that this matter was planned by them.

Now that she had found out the details, she had made Madam Di’s idea clear!

She would figure out Dong Xiu’er’s affairs!

“Thank you so much, Second Miss!” Nanny Dong sighed with relief. She really did not like the servant girl named Qing Xue. At first sight, she knew that she made friends with Xiu’er for a reason. Nanny Dong had seen many people of different kinds. How could she not know that Qing Xue had other intentions? But her daughter knew nothing about it. And what she received with her kind suggestion was her daughter’s anger.

Nanny Dong had suffered a lot when she was young, so she was most afraid of this kind of scheming servant girl. But she found that the Second Miss of Qin’s Mansion was more outstanding. Now, the one she most admired was Qin Wanru. With her promise, Nanny Dong was relieved!

Since she was relieved in her mind, she immediately showed a happy look on her face!

“Second Miss, I really have something to tell you. I’ve been too busy these days, so I haven’t gone to the mansion. But I think it’s not urgent anyway!”

Nanny Dong went inside as she spoke. Soon after, she came back with some books. “Second Miss, these are the books sent by Mr. Wen that day. He said that you wanted to read these books!”

Nanny Dong then handed over the books she was holding. Qin Wanru took them and browsed through them with a smile on her face. Wen Xichi was indeed a gentleman who kept his word.

What she wanted was to get close to him to repay his kindness to her that day. It was necessary for her to communicate with him. But she was a girl who had not gotten married. This identity was inconvenient for her to get along with him for a long time and remind him of the affairs between his second brother and his cousin from time to time.

Qin Wanru tapped her hand with the books, and slightly frowned.

Nanny Dong hesitated and said, “Second Miss, Mr. Wen said that if… if you can’t understand these books, you can ask someone to ask him.” In fact, she did not think it was appropriate. Although her Miss was young and could do nothing with a man, she was, after all, not seven years old.

Qin Wanru’s eyes brightened as she asked, “Is that what he said? Did he say where I can find him? ”

A man like Wen Xichi would never let her go to Deputy Prime Minister’s Chambers to find him. But since he said she could find him, he would certainly find a safe place.

“Er…” Nanny Dong really thought it was improper. But when she saw Qin Wanru’s clear eyes, she thought she should tell her. After a moment’s hesitation, she clenched her teeth and said, “Second Miss, I don’t think it’s very good. You shouldn’t see him. Besides, he and you don’t know each other!”

Nanny Dong was afraid that Qin Wanru would be deceived by Mr. Wen.

“Mr. Wen is outstanding and well-mannered, and must be a Young Master of an aristocratic family in the capital, but so what? If the Second Miss really falls in love with him and they secretly date, she will be really destroyed in the future!”

Thinking of a past event in her mind, Nanny Dong felt that she could not allow the Second Miss to fall into the same situation as herself.

She had been too young and naive, which was why she was in such a difficult situation now. She was the only one who knew how difficult and painful it was for a lonely woman to live with a child.

“Nanny Dong, don’t think that I have anything to do with Mr. Wen.” Qin Wanru looked at Nanny Dong in amazement and smiled. “I just appreciate Mr. Wen’s talent. I think that I didn’t learn much in Jiangzhou, and it would be a good thing if I could follow him to learn.”

Looking at Qin Wanru’s clear and calm watery eyes, Nanny Dong was ashamed and shook her head in embarrassment. “I’ve thought too much!”

There was no sense of shyness and affection in her watery eyes. Thinking about little Qin Wanru, Nanny Dong blushed. She had thought too much. “Second Miss is such a little, young girl, what does she know about love?”

Since she knew that Qin Wanru did not like Mr. Wen, Nanny Dong answered straightforwardly, “Mr. Wen said that if there is something you can’t understand, you can go to Huaguang Temple to find him. In the first few days of each month, he will pass Wenxin Road to go to Huaguang Temple and play chess with the abbot!”

Huaguang Temple, and Wenxin Road? And it was also the beginning of a month. It was such a coincidence!

Qin Wanru nodded and talked with Nanny Dong about the arrangement of the shop. She gave her advice to Nanny Dong, but the decoration was still up to Nanny Dong.

After talking about this for a while, Qin Wanru left the shop, which was being decorated with Yujie!

Yujie had gone outside first and called the carriage, and Nanny Dong saw them off before leaving. However, the carriage did not go back to the mansion directly, but went to the place where the young male servant in the clinic had told Qin Wanru about.

The coachman was found in the capital, so he was familiar with this area. After a short time, they came to a door. It seemed that the mansion was not small and it was also a large family. But the surface of the road outside was very old, and there was almost no open space outside the mansion.

It looked like a ruined mansion.

Qin Wanru’s carriage was parked on the side of the road. She slightly lifted the curtain, and saw the words “Ning’s Mansion” on the door. The calligraphy was great, but people could see black on the golden words, which showed that the gilded characters were no longer magnificent.

Its insides had been exposed.

There was no one at the door. But it seemed that there were people inside.

Qin Wanru reminisced about the past, and knew that this was exactly the place she wanted to come. Then she sat in the carriage and waited.

Yujie wanted to ask about something, but was stopped by Qin Wanru, who had a guess now. Qin Wanru would like to wait and see whether her guess was right. If so, she was really confused in the last life!

Because there was no place outside the mansion, and there were shops beside it, the carriage was not impressive!

The gate of the mansion was very quiet. No one went to the gate and no one came out. The door of the mansion was slightly open, so they could not see the view inside. But Qin Wanru looked around patiently. She was waiting!

Finally, a carriage slowly passed by her carriage, heading for Ning’s Mansion, and finally stopped at the gate of the mansion. A man jumped out of the carriage and reached out to the carriage. Qin Wanru was shocked when his face was exposed…
