Chapter 960 Coincidence, All Here

The scene in front of them was very strange. The person who was hit seemed to be bullying others, rude and unreasonable, but the one bumping into others seemed in the right.

“Second Young Master Qu, since you hit someone wrong, you should apologize!” There came another gentle voice from the staircase. Everyone looked back and found that they all knew him.

Wen Xichi, dressed in a navy-blue robe, appeared in front of them with his hands clasped behind his back, followed by a servant with a brocade box in his hands. From the style of the brocade box, it should be a new piece of cloth launched by Butterfly Clothing Shop inside.

It was very surprising that Wen Xichi also came to Butterfly Clothing Shop!

With her long eyelashes sweeping under her eyes, she looked faintly indifferent. She looked at Infanta Yuan’an and then at Wen Xichi and bowed slightly.

If there was anyone who knew that she was the owner of Butterfly Clothing Shop, it would be Wen Xichi. It was Wen Xichi who bought this shop for her.

The shop was selling women’s clothes. Although there were occasionally men in the shop, there was no reason for Wen Xichi to appear here, so it was not an accidental encounter!

Her watery eyes glanced at the brocade box in the servant’s hands, and her eyes became deeper and deeper. Was today’s matter a spur-of-the-moment decision or plotted by several people?

“Third Young Master Wen, I didn’t do it on purpose. I just tripped on something!” Second Young Master Qu said unhappily. He could admit defeat in front of a beauty, but if Wen Xichi stepped in and made him lose face in front of a beauty, he would be very unhappy.

“Whether you did it on purpose or not, you almost bumped into Princess Chen, right?” Wen Xichi said lightly.

“It’s not intentional!” Second Young Master Qu was not willing to yield!

“Third Young Master Wen, did you see my second brother get beaten?” Infanta Yuan’an said unhappily, looked at Shao Wanru with a frown, and then looked at Wen Xichi. “Third Young Master Wen, why are you so partial to Princess Chen?”

“She associated me with Wen Xichi again?” Shao Wanru sneered in her heart but didn’t show it on her face. At this tense moment, she suddenly smiled, which looked calm and gentle like a spring flower.

They were all stunned.

“Infanta Yuan’an, are you going against me again and again today because of Prince Chen and Prince Zhou?” after smiling, Shao Wanru said slowly with calm eyes.

Her words made Infanta Yuan’an’s face change dramatically, and Infanta Yuan’an’s hand holding the handkerchief couldn’t help trembling. Involving Prince Zhou and Prince Chen was not a small matter.

“I’m not...” she explained in a hurry.

“When I went upstairs just now, Infanta Yuan’an’s second brother fell down and almost bumped into me. I managed to avoid him, but Infanta Yuan’an said that I took advantage of my power to bully others. Now Third Young Master Wen spoke the truth and Infanta Yuan’an said that Third Young Master Wen had ulterior motives. I want to ask when I offended you or when Prince Chen offended Prince Zhou to make Infanta Yuan’an treat me like this!”

Shao Wanru looked at the people in front of her coldly with iciness in her eyes. She tore off the veil of friendly facade between them mercilessly.

Even though Infanta Yuan’an had an extraordinary status, now she was Princess Chen while Infanta Yuan’an was just Prince Zhou’s fiancee. Prince Zhou was the legitimate son of the Empress, but before the crown prince was appointed, he was only a little noble. Moreover, in fact, Chu Liuchen was the legitimate son of the Former Emperor. This status was higher than that of Chu Liuzhou.

Shao Wanru didn’t have to submit to Infanta Yuan’an.

She had met Infanta Yuan’an several times. When they met for the first time, Infanta Yuan’an wanted to help Madam Jiang and Shao Yanru suppress her. After that, they kind of got along well with each other. Of course, this harmony could not be taken seriously.

However, even if it couldn’t be true, no one would destroy it!

“You... you... Nonsense!” Infanta Yuan’an’s face changed greatly, and she was extremely regretful in her heart.

She had indeed not liked Shao Wanru for a long time. Just now, when she saw Shao Wanru coming up, she asked someone to trip her second brother. Her second brother was a playboy. When he saw a beauty, he couldn’t move his feet. Then, no matter what kind of nonsense he said, everyone would only think that it was shameful to argue with a playboy, and it was Shao Wanru who would lose face.

Later, her second brother would talk about Shao Wanru’s affairs everywhere, which would be out of her control. Anyway, the beauty mentioned by these playboys would not have a good reputation.

Just because of that, Shao Wanru’s reputation would be ruined.

“Infanta Yuan’an, you should know whether I am talking nonsense or not. In the past, I was not very familiar with Infanta Yuan’an. I thought that I had never offended Infanta Yuan’an, but now you slandered my reputation. In this case, I don’t need to be polite. The reputation of Prince Chen’s Mansion cannot be disgraced. Even in front of the Empress Dowager, I shall say so!” Shao Wanru looked around, fixed her eyes on Infanta Yuan’an quietly, and said in a sharp tone.

What she meant was that she wasn’t afraid to admit she slapped Second Young Master Qu. The brother and sister of the Qu family had evil intentions, so she just wanted to slap Qu’s Mansion, Infanta Yuan’an, and Second Young Master Qu in the face.

“I indeed slapped him. What does Infanta Yuan’an want?”

The last sentence was extremely domineering. She was obviously a delicate woman, but there was a kind of coldness on her fragile and beautiful face. There was not a trace of a smile in her beautiful eyes, as if they were wrapped in thousands of pieces of ice and snow. Moreover, she was an iceberg with spikes. She was so sharp that one could not see her weak appearance.

Infanta Yuan’an suddenly felt guilty. She looked around, gritted her teeth, and forced herself to say, “You... you... I’m going to the Palace to ask the Empress to judge!”

“Prince Zhou is the biological son of the Empress. He should be judged by the Empress. Infanta Yuan’an, please!” Shao Wanru stepped back, made way, and said.

“Okay... okay, let’s go to the Palace now!” Infanta Yuan’an had said so, but now she could not retreat. She stamped her foot, turned around, and said to Second Young Master Qu beside her, “Second Brother, let’s go!”

“Sister...” Qu Xinghong, Second Young Master Qu, was a little flustered and tugged at Infanta Yuan’an’s sleeve.

“Second Brother!” Infanta Yuan’an fumed.

“Younger Sister, don’t go!” Qu Xinghong was really panicked. He really didn’t dare to enter the Palace. If he entered the Palace, he would be scolded. He still had the sense to know this.

That invalid was not really easy to be bullied. It had always been Chu Liuchen who bullied others. When had they ever bullied the invalid?

Both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor stood on the side of this invalid.

“Second Brother, what are you afraid of? You have been beaten like this. We have to show Her Majesty how Princess Chen treats people usually!” Infanta Yuan’an felt that her second brother was really hopeless.

With the facts in front of her, she was really not afraid of Shao Wanru.

Seeing that the two of them were still arguing, Shao Wanru turned around and walked down. On the way, she looked back and smiled coldly, “Infanta Yuan’an, it’s useless to just talk about it. If you are afraid, you don’t have to go!”

These words seemed to add fuel to the fire. How could Infanta Yuan’an bear it?

She had an unusual identity and was the granddaughter of a Great Elder Princess. She had always been steady and decent among royalty, and she was very in favor with several Noble Ladies in the Palace. Now she was forced to this extent by Shao Wanru. How could she bear it?

Originally, she wanted Shao Wanru to bow down to her. If today’s plot succeeded, Shao Wanru would feel uncomfortable whenever she saw her in the future and would unconsciously submit to her. Only in this way could she be treated as the legal wife of a legitimate prince!

She was a girl and had little contact with Chu Liuchen. Although the granddaughters of a Great Elder Princess like her entered the Palace from time to time, they might not necessarily meet Prince Chen. Even if they met him, although he looked as handsome as a man in a painting and talked gently, he was not close to them.

They would be stopped before they reached near him and he would then leave coldly. Therefore, she didn’t know what kind of person he was.

Regarding Prince Chen, Infanta Yuan’an only regarded him as a beautiful young man in a painting in her heart. In addition to being sick and weak, he was a little indifferent. He looked gentle but kept others at arm’s length. With his identity and health condition, she could only watch him from a distance. Marrying such a person would make her a widow sooner or later.

As for the kind of person like Qu Xinghong, when he was bullied by Chu Liuchen, of course, he would not tell such a shameful thing to his sister.

Infanta Yuan’an had never thought that Chu Liuchen was dangerous but just thought that he was useless. He was useless but had the identity of the legitimate son of the Former Emperor. For this reason, Infanta Yuan’an felt that she should suppress Chu Liuchen by ruining Shao Wanru’s reputation!

Among these princes’ wives, of course, she was the most distinguished one. Among the princes, of course, only Prince Zhou was the future crown prince and far above the other princes.

“Infanta Yuan’an, Second Young Master Qu, Princess Chen has left!” Wen Xichi said coldly and then went downstairs. Instead of leaving, he shopped around downstairs again. Obviously, he was not in a hurry to leave.

Such a contemptuous attitude made Infanta Yuan’an so angry that her face turned red and then green. She pulled Qu Xinghong down regardless of everything.

When she arrived at the door, Shao Wanru had already gotten in the carriage. The coachman raised his whip and drove to the Palace.

At this point, even if Infanta Yuan’an felt regretful, she could only follow her into the Palace.

After she got on the carriage, the carriage followed the carriage of Prince Chen’s Mansion to the gate of the Palace.

When they arrived at the Palace gate, Shao Wanru got out of the carriage first and entered through the Palace gate. Yujie said something to a little eunuch who was guarding there and the little eunuch responded and left.

Palace sedan chairs were waiting at the door, and the two of them got on them one after another to Empress’s Phoenix Palace.

Second Young Master Qu stayed at the gate of the Palace. As a man, he could not go directly to Phoenix Palace without being summoned.

The two Palace palanquins entered through the gate of Phoenix Palace one after another and stopped under the red gate. Infanta Yuan’an got out of the palanquin, took a few quick steps forward, and arrived before Shao Wanru. She bowed deeply to the eunuch who guarded the door and said, “Yuan’an asks to see Her Majesty to uphold justice for Yuan’an!”

After she said that, her eyes grew red and misty. It was obvious that she had cried just now!

Did she feel wronged and ask the Empress for justice? Infanta Yuan’an’s mansion was the future Prince Zhou’s Mansion. The eunuch guarding the door did not dare to slight her and hurriedly ran in to report!
