Chapter 276 Butterfly Clothing Shop Officially Opens

“Vice-general?” Qin Wanru knitted her thin curved brows. She looked at Qu Le with a sinister glint in her eyes. Qu Le’s hand which was holding her handkerchief trembled a little. This was the first time she had heard information of her biological father. Of course she was excited.

“Yes, Second Miss, this is what Qing Xue said. She said during her training on the farm, she heard Nanny Zhou speak of this matter with the farm supervisor in private! But she didn’t know if this was true, so she didn’t dare mention it to you!”

Qu Le was reporting what Qing Xue had said before she left.

“Where did he serve?” Qin Wanru asked as she took a deep breath, trying to suppress her excitement.

“Qing Xue says she doesn’t know either and she could not guarantee the truth of what she heard.” Qu Le shook her head.

The room became quiet. Qin Wanru took a deep breath, fell back and closed her eyes, leaning against the back of the chair. “My father was a vice-general, one of those who put down that revolt.”

But she was an unmarried lady and had no access to the files at the Ministry of War. Otherwise, she would have gone straight there to find out the vice-general’s surname and name.

“Okay, you may leave!” Qin Wanru waved her hand and said hoarsely.

“Yes, Miss!” Qu Le knew Qin Wanru was upset now and left cautiously to go out. Standing at the doorway, she looked at Qin Wanru thoughtfully.

Yujie waved to her, signaling her not to worry. Then, Qu Le left to go out. Seeing it was still early, she felt Qing Xue’s letter in her bosom and strode outside.

She still had the responsibility of sending Qing Xue’s letter.

“Miss…” Seeing that Qin Wanru was silent, Yujie wanted to saying something but refrained from doing so.

“Yujie, do you know where your parents are?” Qin Wanru didn’t open her eyes and only asked slowly. Her voice was low, but it sounded extremely heavy.

“Miss, my parents died early, I am an orphan!” Yujie’s eyes turned red. Without Mingqiu Nun’s adoption, she would have probably had died in the mountain a long before this.

For her, Mingqiu Nun was not just a master, she was also a parent.

“Is Yujie an orphan?” Qin Wanru gave a wry smile. “I am also an orphan, even worse than Yujie. I don’t even know who my parents are.” She couldn’t bear it.

She clasped her hands together as if this could give her strength. There was a dull pain in her heart. “Where are they? And…are they still alive? ”

It seemed she was speaking to herself, but the sadness in her voice made Yujie’s eyes a little redder. She excused herself and turned to wipe away a tear at the corner of her eye and changed the sad topic:

“Miss, why didn’t the general respond to the information you leaked? Why hasn’t Madam Dowager explained anything?”

By using the previous rumors, Qin Wanru solved the problem that the Madam of Duke Xing forced her to be her adopted daughter, and also let the public know that she was not the daughter of the master’s official wife of Qin’s Mansion.

It had been a few days since the rumors broke out, but Qin Huaiyong and Madam Dowager seemed to have no wish to explain it to her, as if they didn’t hear the rumors outside.

“Miss, could you be mistaken?” Yujie felt a little confused. “In this situation, Madam Dowager and the general should come and have a good chat with Second Miss, but why haven’t they said anything at all? They behave as if nothing happened!”

“Then we will wait!” Qin Wanru was no longer sad, but her look turned cold. With her previous life’s memory, she didn’t think her idea was wrong.

The current evidence also proved this point repeatedly. She even got some shocking answers through her guesses, but they were only surmises, and she still hadn’t thought some things through.

She was also spot on with Qin Huaiyong and Madam Dowager’s reactions. If the matter was so simple, she wouldn’t have been hoodwinked throughout her previous life.

But she was determined. If their minds could not be shaken using one method, she would use two methods, if two methods don’t work, she would use ten. She didn’t believe wouldn’t break!

“In a while, ask Nanny Yu and Wang Feng to help Madame Dong. I am afraid she will be busy and shorthanded for some time. She may also not have some necessary things when she needs them. If we have them in our mansion, just let my mother know and take them!” Qin Wanru instructed slowly and calmly as she thought of tomorrow’s event.

“Yes, Miss, I will tell Nanny Yu in a while!” Yujie felt relieved and smiled when she saw Qin Wanru not grieving anymore and has regained her usual calm.

Qin Wanru stood up, walked to the Tang Qianyan at her window, and heaved a low sigh. “The Tang Qianyan is disappointing and doesn’t look like it will bloom. It looks satisfied just to live like this.”

She picked up the scissors beside her, thought for a moment, and pruned away the extra branches. “Not sure if Prince Chen will be satisfied tomorrow. Anyway, I need to prune it carefully and try not to let him think I haven’t tried my best.”

“Miss, let me help you prune it!” said Yujie. She got worried seeing the big scissors in Qin Wanru’s hand.

“No, I’ll do it!” Qin Wanru shook her head. The prince was not easy to fool, and she had better do it herself.

The following day, Butterfly Clothing Shop was to open officially. As its owner, she needed to go and check carefully. For this reason, Qin Wanru went out.

Certainly, Qin Wanru only watched from a distance.

Hearing Qin Wanru’s Butterfly Clothing Shop was to officially open, Madam Dowager and Shui Ruolan were quite surprised. Initially, they thought Qin Wanru just did it for fun, but they never thought she was serious and so quick about it. Not many of the shops that Qin’s Mansion planned to open succeeded in opening. In contrast, Qin Wanru was fast.

Since they knew she was concerned about her shop, Madam Dowager and Shui Ruolan gave her a few reminders and let her out.

When Qin Wanru got on her horse-drawn carriage, the Tang Qianyan was already in it.

The carriage went out from the side door and headed for the main road. A short while and a few turns later, it arrived at Butterfly Clothing Shop.

This area was exceptionally lively. Madame Dong prepared well and also especially invited a theatrical troupe to perform at the gate. At the moment, the drama was at its peak and passers-by were shouting, “Well done!”

The stage was not big, only occupying the front of the gate. Those who were singing were not many, but their singing skills were great and their appearances were nice, and people were stunned.

Inside her carriage, Qin Wanru raised the curtain and took a look and saw Madame Dong walking here and there, entertaining guests with smiles. Although she sweated a lot, she kept smiling, looking very happy.

A shop-boy took out firecrackers and set them off. Instantly, the atmosphere became even more lively.

When the passers-by saw the lively air, they all stopped to look at the shop’s name. If women passed by, they would pay a special visit to the shop to see what was inside. In a short while, they would come out with some clothes and smiles, looking very happy.

It was the opening day discounts, an idea Madame Dong and Qin Wanru came up with. Today was the auspicious opening day, and all the products were sold at discounts.

This was also one of the main reasons why the women left happily. Instantly, the shop was crowded with visitors.

Qin Wanru felt very satisfied. Madame Dong was as able as expected. In such a short time, she had put everything in order. Looks like her shop will bring in good income in future. Right now, she was already seeing Misses from aristocratic families entering the shop.

She was at a good angle to see the shop’s gate from the window where she sat, and she could see it clearly.

Suddenly, she pulled hard, and the curtain in her hand made a crisp sound as if it was about to break.

“Miss!” Yujie was shocked and turned to look out from the other window.

“I thought I saw an acquaintance!” Qin Wanru looked into the crowd and searched. For an instant, she seemed to have seen a person, one who shouldn’t appear in the capital city. “Did my eyes deceive me?”

Seeing Qin Wanru anxiously looking for someone, Yujie also tried to search but found no one familiar after looking again and again. So, she couldn’t help turning back to ask Qin Wanru, “Miss, who did you see? I haven’t seen anyone!”

Qin Wanru frowned. She didn’t know if she had seen the person, either. For an instant, she didn’t know what to say and only knitted her thin curved brows.

Her carriage moved suddenly. Although it was just a little jerk, she still clearly felt the carriage was moving forward.

“What’s wrong? Our Miss wants to stay for a few more moments!” Yujie was surprised, speaking to the coachman outside.

“Second Miss, I have no choice, either. Our carriage is hooked to the carriage in front!” The coachman’s voice came from outside.

“Hooked?” Qin Wanru said, surprised. The carriage was still moving forward, but it was steady.

Yujie raised the curtain with her hand, glaring at the carriage in front. It was so crowded that some carriages jammed together. In front of their carriage was a large carriage without any signs, but the hook at its tail had hooked the shaft of Qin Wanru’s carriage.

The coachman sitting at the shaft raised his whip helplessly, but dared not let it fall.

It was too lively here, and there was a large crowd of people. He could not avoid the crowd and had to let the carriage move slowly with the carriage in front.

Seeing this, Yujie was ready to get off to remove the hook, but she stopped when she saw the face sticking out of the window of the carriage in front.

Yujie turned to look at the confused Qin Wanru, returned helplessly, and let the curtain in her hand fall, blocking the outside view.

“Miss, I saw Xiao Xuanzi in the front carriage!” Yujie said quite helplessly. She knew her master came out on invitation today, but she never thought Prince Chen would use such a way to invite her Miss. Yujie thought this prince was too mischievous.

“Tell our coachman not to panic, just follow!” Qin Wanru was also surprised about Chu Liuchen’s way, but she helplessly gave her order.

Yujie nodded, raised the curtain again, glared at Xiao Xuanzi who was smiling from the window of the carriage in front, and in a low voice asked their coachman to follow.

So, the two carriages moved out of the lively street, with one after the other…
