Chapter 79 The End of All the Plots, Old Grandma Comes Back!
A carriage, waiting by the side of the wagon of General’s Mansion, fell to the other side in the public’s staring, and then it bumped the carriage of General’s Mansion heavily.
That was the carriage which Old Grandma used to take, and now it was oppressed by the carriage by its side which made it lose its support and fell to another one. Thus wagons, one by one, were bumped and fell on the ground continuously.
A series of accidents.
After they recovered all the carriages back to their locations, they found the most damaged carriage was General’s Mansion’s.
The large carriage of Old Grandma’s, in particular, was horribly damaged. Because of hers was just opposite to the first carriage which bumped others, so it lost half of its roof, and the wheels were broken as well, and that meant it couldn’t be used anymore.
Other carriages were bumped and lost shapes. How could they bring them down the mountain, Qing Yue got stunned?
“Second Miss, it was the wheel of that carriage dropped, so it couldn’t stand and bump others.” The cart driver rushed to Qin Wanru and reported to her, and he was sweating all over him.
They were about to leave the mountain, but something like this happened. Qin Wanru frowned and her eyebrows were emitting a sense of coldness.
“What should we do now?” After a long while, Qin Wanru stopped frowning and asked calmly. She saw those completely damaged carriages without any panic as if she didn’t know they couldn’t put into use and Old Grandma couldn’t get down the mountain.
“Second Miss, do we need to borrow some carriages?” The cart driver asked while sweating.
”Where to borrow?” Qin Wanru said. They were many carriages parking here, but most of them were shabby and narrow and with oily inner walls. They were both beneath Old Grandma’ status and was unstable while driving. Even if they could match Old Grandma’s identity, she was still in sickness, so Qin Wanru dared not to invite her sitting in a small carriage like this and go down the mountain.
Nobody could be responsible for that if accident really happened.
“I… I… I don’t know.” The cart driver, who proposed this suggestion, found him awkward. He followed Qin Wanru’s eyes and took a glance, and then he came to the conclusion that there was no suitable carriage there.
“Thinking of a method and dragging those damaged ones down the mountain and make them get fixed.” Qin Wanru ordered.
“Yes… I’ll drag them down the mountain. But what about Old Grandma?” The cart driver was sweating and panicking again, he looked very bewildered.
“Grandma, I’ll ask herself, and you’ll now go down the mountain!” Qin Wanru frowned, and she turned around for leaving. She no longer cared about the accident happened in the parking lot.
Finding she was leaving, Qing Yue followed her in a hurry. But Qin Wanru stopped suddenly after they only turned one corner.
“Miss, what should we do now? Old Grandma should get up now, right?” Qing Yue saw she stopped and asked.
Miss just came out from Old Grandma’s place to check how the carriage was prepared, but now the carriage couldn’t be used like this.
The carriage couldn’t be put into use so that Old Grandma couldn’t get down the mountain. If she didn’t anchor the general’s wedding ceremony, how would others spread the news and gossip about it? Shui Ruolan couldn’t even get her wedding ceremony accepted.
A gloomier light was flowing in Qin Wanru eyes, and there was no need to say that this was Madam Di’s plot. It was such a large carriage, and it was impossible to get rid of the wheel at any time you want. Thinking of the other two cart drivers who escaped her eye contact, she knew the accident had something to do with them.
Madam Di worked hard to make Shui Ruolan’s wedding unacceptable.
Grandma couldn’t get used to ordinary carriage, but someone’s wagon could be borrowed and used. Qin Wanru believed that new carriage would be more comfortable than the one they used in their mansion.
Jingxin Monastery master had a carriage, a stable one, and when many female relatives from prominent and wealthy families got sick, they would visit Jingxin Monastery master, and they went back home by Jingxin Monastery master’s carriage if they had inconvenience.
“You go to visit Jingxin Monastery master and tell her that I want to borrow her carriage.” Qin Wanru thought and said.
“Is there a carriage in the monastery?” Qing Yue knew this for her first time and she was stunned with her eyes wide opened.
“Yes, go and borrow it!” Qin Wanru smiled slightly. The carriage was rarely used because Jingxin Monastery master just kept it for contingency. After all, all prestigious families prepared large and stable carriages.
Therefore, few people ever heard about this, and even Old Grandma had no idea about it before. If Qin Wanru didn’t follow and learn medicine with Mingqiu Nun who mentioned this carriage on purpose, she would never know.
After she asked Qing Yue to go back to Jingxin Monastery master for borrowing the carriage, Qin Wanru went back to Old Grandma’s place in a hurry. Old Grandma woke up already, and she was sitting there waiting for Qin Wanru to come back.
Qin Wanru didn’t hide the secret in front of Old Grandma, and she told the accident about their family carriage to her.
When she finished her story, Old Grandma fully understood, so she coughed in a low voice and looked at her with approval. While feeling Madam Di was making trouble again, she also approved Qin Wanru’s ability because her granddaughter really grew up and was no longer a childish kid.
The new wagon arrived very fast!
It was a large carriage which was possible to send a patient because it was wide and stable. Although it didn’t have any exterior decorations, it had practical and straightforward things. It was also soft and thick!
Qin Wanru supported Old Grandma to get into the carriage and found it was in excellent quality. There was a huge bed, and it was suitable for Old Grandma lying on it.
There was a big window by the bed, so she wouldn’t feel stifling lying there. Qin Wanru opened the window and put down the gauze curtain to keep the air fresh, making sure it didn’t block the sight.
The carriage drove in stability, and it was more comfortable than the one Old Grandma used before.
“Grandma, take a rest, and I’ll call you when we arrive!” Qin Wanru covered Old Grandma with quilt and whispered.
Old Grandma knew she was in poor health condition and she shouldn’t force herself to do something beyond her ability now, so she nodded her head and closed her eyes. She would find Madam Di when she went down the mountain, but now she should retain her strength and energy.
Those damaged carriages of General’s Mansion left the mountain first, and although they skewed to one side, it was impossible to drive them as long as it ran slowly.
The carriage was driving to the back yard of General’s Mansion, and after several cart drivers jumped off the carriage, one of the cart drivers who talked with Qin Wanru previously reported to Madam Di.
Hearing the arrival of a few cart drivers and the absence of Old Grandma and Qin Wanru, Madam Di became less nervous but pleased, and she smiled proudly.
“Did Second Miss say anything?” Madam Di still felt concerned and asked. She always thought that girl was not so easy to manipulate.
“Second Miss didn’t say anything but asked us to bring the carriages down the mountain and fixed them.” Cart driver reported proudly.
“Didn’t she ask you to bring them back immediately?” Madam Di furthered her question.
“The carriages were badly damaged like this, so how could we bring them back? Even if she asked, we could only answer like this.” Cart driver became much more proud of himself.
His answer made Madam Di laugh and then she took a sip from the teacup by her hands and waved her hands to ask the cart driver to retreat.
Nanny Zhou was a flexible person, so she gave the cart driver some tips when he retreated, and that triggered a series of his appreciation and exhilaration before he left.
After the cart driver left, Nanny Zhou went back into the room.
“Let’s see how this little girl could handle this!” Madam Di couldn’t hide her smile anymore.
“Madam, you managed this plot from both sides, capable of hindering even an adult from addressing the troubles, let along a childish Second Miss.” Nanny Zhou fawned over Madam Di with a smile on her face, and her flattering words really went into her heart. This time, no matter how hard Second Miss was thinking, there was no way that she could resolve her plot.
“Shui Ruolan desired to marry the general with respect, but she forgot to check if she had the fortune. She was nothing more than a widow, so how impressive she thought she was. I’ll make her the scandals of the entire Jiangzhou, even if the general agreed to marry her, what else could she do! It was not only Qin Wanru that knew how to smash a bridal sedan chair, and I can do it too!”
Madam Di said in a smug smile, and she looked grimly.
She was deeply inspired by Qin Wanru’s behavior of smashing Qi Tianyu’s bridal sedan chair. Now that Qin Wanru has smashed once, it was nothing serious if she smashed it again.
Additionally, the one who would smash bridal sedan chair was Shui Ruolan’s previous “mother-in-law”, so even if Qin Huaiyong enjoyed high social status and power, he couldn’t block people’s gossip. Who cared if they were really Shui Ruolan’s previous “mother-in-law”, because by then, they would be so anxious to explain the entire issue? And since Old Grandma didn’t show up, it was expected that she could refuse to accept this marriage because she didn’t think it was not a decent one in her opinion.
Without the acceptance of Old Grandma and her agreement, even if Shui Ruolan were married into the mansion, she wouldn’t be treated as a wife but a concubine. Since the marriage made a sensation, Qin Huaiyong wouldn’t bear to lose his reputation, and he would allow Shui Ruolan to be his concubine. By that time, Old Grandma’s arrival would be too late.
If Shui Ruolan were a concubine, it would be so easy for herself to fool her around. Even though Old Grandma endeavored to protect her, her health condition was not able to protect her.
“There won’t be anything wrong about that person you chose, right?” Madam Di said with worries and took a glimpse to Nanny Zhou.
“Don’t be worry, Madam. My nephew is a reliable person. If anything unexpected happened, Madam wouldn’t get involved into it. We’re only relatives to their family, and we didn’t have connections with them for many years. However, I used to think he was poor, so I helped him when he was young, I know everything about him.”
Nanny Zhou guaranteed and patted her own chest.
“That’s fine. I didn’t have anything to do with this accident, and will never get involved in it. You give anything to the general of what he wants. Remember, don’t stop him. I’ll see how he could get married this time!” Madam Di looked grim, and she ground her teeth. She prepared everything for Qin Huaiyong, but if there were anything wrong in the wedding, she was perfectly clean.
“Yes, Madam. I understand!” Nanny Zhou understood and said.
When they were talking, a girl servant rushed into the yard. After she heard what and Nanny Zhou was said in the room, she ran to the front of the door and reported loudly, “Madam, Madam, please go meet Old Grandma, she is coming back?”
“Who came back?” Both of them got stunned in the room, and they stared at each other for a while, and Nanny Zhou asked in astonishment. It was impossible that she could come back, how come!
“Yes, Old Grandma. She just came back, please, general and Madam go pick up and meet Old Grandma!”
