Chapter 502 - Remedy, Qinger Going Down the Mountain (1/2)

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.
