As soon as the words fell to the door, Ye Han walked in with a gust of wind: "What are you looking for me?" ”

"It's nothing," Ruan Qingzhi lay on the soft couch and looked up and smiled at him, "I just feel like I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Banyue got up and gave up a stool to Ye Han, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that Ye Han didn't go out with us, you don't know what the street is like today!" It's a pity that Miss said to avoid suspicion, otherwise we really want to go over and see His Royal Highness King Rui with our own eyes, and take a good look at what it is like for him to be violently beaten! ”

"I'm going to see it." Ye Han sat down with a smile in his eyes.

Ruan Qingzhi immediately turned over and sat up, his eyes glaring at him excitedly: "You saw it?!" Is it good-looking? Did you really strip naked? ”

Ye Han's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't see it clearly!" ”

"Uh-oh." Ruan Qingzhi lay back a little lost, and then leaned over and sighed: "Why do you say it's so coincidental......

How could it be so coincidental, she was worried that there was no evidence to prove her innocence, and Ling Xiao was taken out of Qin Su'er's bed and beaten violently, which strongly proved that "staying outside the city with Miss Ruan" was purely a rumor.

Miss Ruan in this life is not a phoenix, how can she have this kind of good luck like divine help?

Ruan Qingzhi narrowed his eyes and stared at Ye Han for a while, then suddenly got up and grabbed his collar: "Say!" Did you do it?! ”

The two girls were startled, only Ye Han was unhurried and expressionless: "I haven't prostituted Qin Su'er, and it's not my turn to fight for wind and vinegar." ”

"Phew, if you still want to prostitute an Oiran, it's so beautiful!" Ruan Qingzhi gave him a look of disdain and let go of his hand.

Ye Han's body shrank back, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes: "The murderer at the head is an unpopular military attache who has been caught." Jingzhao Yamen released the news that it was indeed just to fight for the wind, not for anything else. ”

Ruan Qingzhi lazily lay back on the couch: "Jingzhao Yamen specially released the news?" That's to cover up! What's really going on? The prince takes the heir? ”

Ye Han smiled: "How do we know about the royal affairs?" Just know that it has nothing to do with us. ”

"It may not have anything to do with us!" Ruan Qingzhi frowned, "Ruan Biyun's marriage is related to my life and death!" I don't believe that King Rui can be so easily defeated, he obviously has dragon energy in him......"

Speaking later, her voice lowered. Ye Han didn't hear clearly, frowned and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Before Ruan Qingzhi could answer, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps under the corridor, followed by a little girl's voice shouting: "Madame is coming back, the master called the eldest lady to go to the gate to greet you, you guys hurry up!" ”

Before the words fell, the person ran away again. Ruan Qingzhi jumped up, turned around and asked Banyue, "What did that girl shout just now?" Who's coming back? ”

Banyue rolled her eyes and said, "Who else could it be?" Don't be verbose, change your clothes quickly, you will be scolded again if you go late! ”

As he spoke, he ran to get his robe, and Ruan Qingzhi took it and put it on his body, and he didn't tie his clothes for a long time.

Ye Han stood up silently and found out the mask and put it on.

Ruan Qingzhi's face instantly burst into laughter, he put on his robe three times and twice, and asked for another cloak to tie up, and went out with a majestic spirit.

At this moment, there was already a crowd of people standing at the gate. Ruan Qingzhi took a cursory look and found that except for the Chunhui Courtyard, no one came, and the masters and servants of each house and courtyard came.

"That's good." Ruan Qingzhi smiled, "Everyone is here, is this to welcome the hero's triumph?" ”

"If you can't speak, don't speak!" Ruan Wenzhong didn't give her a good face.

Ruan Qingzhi bowed his head and saluted, smiling lightly: "My father treats my mother with such affection and righteousness, even if my mother almost poisoned my grandmother, you don't blame it, and you personally led the whole family out to greet her, which really makes us admire the younger generation!" ”

Ruan Wenzhong's face immediately turned blue: "You don't have to be yin and yang here!" You know in your heart who caused your grandmother's poison! ”

"Yes," Ruan Qingzhi raised her head and smiled gently, "This matter is not a secret, my father and I know it very well, and my grandmother also knows it." I just don't know if the Jingzhao Yamen is clear, and the emperor in the palace is not clear? ”

Ruan Wenzhong stared at her deadly, trembling with anger: "Evil obstacle, evil obstacle!" This case has been determined by Jingzhao Yamen, what are you still making noise about? Even if your mother is really guilty, you should still 'kiss and hide from each other', not to mention that now the yamen has let your mother back! Are you so yin and yang weird, are you looking forward to your mother being questioned and executed? You heartless thing! ”

"Master," the concubine Liu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort, "You can quickly dissipate your anger, you can't worry about the juniors!" Today, the eldest lady is irritable about something, and there are some who don't choose to say anything for a while, so let's take care of some of the elders! ”

Ruan Wenzhong was even more angry when he heard this: "Yes, if you don't say it, I forgot!" - Evil Barrier! On your knees! ”

Ruan Qingzhi gathered his cloak, looked down at the thick layer of dust on the bluestone road, and frowned: "It's not that I refuse to kneel." Father, if you want to teach me a lesson for those rumors, my daughter advises you to save it for the time being, don't you already know the truth! What you need to worry about now is not that your daughter has embarrassed the Prime Minister's house, but whether you yourself are on the wrong side of the court! In case His Royal Highness King Rui's duck flies, you can empty the bamboo basket! ”

"Bastard!" Ruan Wenzhong jumped like thunder, "Fu'er, call me-"

Fu'er's arms are still hanging around his neck, and he can't beat people at this time. What's more, Ruan Qingzhi is still standing behind Ye Han, who is a master who makes people tremble with fear at a glance!

So the atmosphere at the scene froze strangely. Ruan Wenzhong was so angry that he gasped: "Evil obstacle! Are you really going to rebel at home now? ”

"Miss," another concubine, Chu Jiaoniang, walked over quickly and pulled Ruan Qingzhi by the hand, and persuaded in a low voice: "Hurry up and compensate the master!" The lord is the head of the family, how can we contradict it? You are a junior, if you really provoke the old man and accuse you of a crime of disobedience and unfilial piety in the yamen, how can you end up? Do you think you can run amok with a powerful guard by your side? What if the old man says that his origin is unknown and asks the yamen to be a thief and take it? ”

Ruan Qingzhi thought for a while and smiled: "Thank you, Aunt Chu, I understand." - The daughter is wrong, please forgive the father for the rude offense of the daughter. ”

Ruan Wenzhong snorted coldly: "The crime of rudeness? You'll avoid the big! Let me ask you, there was a rumor on the street that your sister was going to harm you, and it spread that she had a nose and eyes, was it your handiwork?! ”

Ruan Qingzhi was shocked, and his face instantly turned red: "Where did my father start with this?" Why did Yun'er hurt me? How could I be so stupid as to go around yelling that my sister was trying to kill me? Don't I know that the future of the Prime Minister's Mansion is on my sister! ”

", you still know the future of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" There was a hoarse roar from outside the gate, but it was Kim's voice.

Only then did everyone realize that they had forgotten what was going on, and they couldn't help but be annoyed, so they hurriedly turned around and went out.

Before he arrived at the gate, he saw Kim wearing dirty clothes that could not be seen in color, and stepped in with a wooden stick in his hand.

The figure is rickety, the face is withered, and there is an obvious scar on the forehead, this image is simply inferior to the flower child on the street, where is there still a little bit of the demeanor of the housewife!

Nguyen Van Trung paused and stopped.

The Jin family walked very fast, and soon arrived in front of Ruan Qingzhi, raised his slap and slapped: "!" You're a great ...... now."

Ruan Qingzhi's feet flashed, and he quickly hid behind Ye Han, leaned out half of his body and said aggrievedly: "Mother, I don't have it!" I'm being honest these days! I didn't even go around talking about my sister conspiring with Wang Yuyao to almost kill Liu Jiaojiao! ”

Kim's slap missed, and he shook his feet and almost fell. The maid in the house hurriedly rushed up to support her, but just in time for her anger to be vented, a crisp slap slapped firmly on the face.

Immediately the maidservant burst into tears.

The Jin family's anger did not subside, and at the same time, he was a little panicked in his heart, staring at Ruan Qingzhi and asking, "What did you just say?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi cautiously walked out from behind Ye Han and said aggrievedly: "Mother doesn't know how dangerous it was at that time!" It was the full moon banquet of the little master of the Luan family, so many guests were there, my sister conspired with Wang Yuyao to poison Liu Jiaojiao and push her down the pond, and she was almost found out! Or did I help cover up this matter, Liu Jiaojiao also admitted that she fell into the water, so she didn't cause a big mess, otherwise we don't know if we can withstand the anger of the Guogong Mansion! ”

Jin stared at her with a cold face for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "That's what you should have done!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi bowed his head and said yes, his attitude was very respectful: "I didn't plan to take this opportunity to ask my father and mother for credit. ”

Jin snorted coldly and didn't want to pay attention to her anymore, raised his head and looked around at everyone, and was generally satisfied.

She thought that she would encounter some difficulties when she returned to the house today, and she might even not be able to enter the house. At this moment, seeing Ruan Wenzhong and the concubines and children of the house at the gate to greet her, she was already overjoyed.

It's just that......

"Master, where's Yun'er?" Kim asked with a frown.

Ruan Wenzhong glanced at her, and then quickly looked away, with a cold expression: "I'm going to the palace." ”

Ruan Qingzhi saw that the Jin family didn't seem to be satisfied with this answer, and hurriedly added: "I went the day before yesterday." That day, we originally went to Luanfu with my grandmother for a banquet, but my sister said that she missed the queen mother, so she didn't go back to the house after the feast was over, and went directly to the palace by car. ”

"You're a jack of all trades! Who asked you? Kim gave her a hard look.

Ruan Qingzhi lowered his head and stopped answering, rubbing the corners of his clothes as if he was very uneasy.

At this time, several concubines were already scrambling to pull their children forward to say hello, and the Jin family had to take up the shelf of the housemother to deal with them one by one, but they couldn't take care of Ruan Qingzhi's side.

After some genuine and false greetings, the Jin family finally got a free time, turned around and asked Ruan Wenzhong: "Does Yun'er know that I will come back today?" Do you want to send a car to pick her up from the palace......

Ruan Wenzhong flicked his sleeves fiercely and snorted coldly: "What are you calling her back for?" Do you think she'd like to see you the way you are? ”

Jin was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face disappeared little by little: "You mean, Yun'er, she doesn't want to see me?" ”

Ruan Wenzhong frowned and didn't answer, Ruan Qingzhi stood up and saluted: "Mother, don't blame my sister, my sister misses her mother very much." It's just that I heard my sister say that day, and His Royal Highness King Rui is probably a little unhappy......"

"Shut up!" Kim interrupted her resentfully, "How can my daughter and son-in-law look down on me! Even if I don't have the seal, even if I can't be the head mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yun'er is still my biological daughter! I have such a good daughter, who dares to think that I am ashamed, who dares to say that I am not worthy of being the prince's mother-in-law! ”

Ruan Qingzhi hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Mother is right. My sister didn't dare to think about it. ”

Kim glared at her in disgust, snorted coldly, and walked away.

Ruan Wenzhong suddenly opened his mouth and stopped her: "Zhu'er." ”

Jin was stunned for a moment and stood still, then turned to look at him: "Master? ”

has only called "madam" for so many years, why did he suddenly call his name now?

Ruan Wenzhong lowered his head and did not make eye contact with her, his expression was cold and seemed unwilling to talk more: "Zhu'er, the imperial court has withdrawn your edict, and the Imperial Historical Observatory has also issued a document to reprimand him, accusing the prime minister of not governing the family strictly. I want to ......"

His voice grew lower and finally stopped, apparently not a good word to come out.

Jin didn't ask, but his face was gray, and his back was bent even more.

The scene was eerily quiet, until Ruan Hongyu, the fourth lady of the Liu family, opened her mouth crisply: "Father, is it the emperor's decree that mother is not allowed to be our mother?" That...... Who will be our mother in the future? Is it okay for my aunt? ”

"Yu'er!" Liu's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly knelt down and cried to Ruan Wenzhong: "Master, this is not what I taught!" The concubine didn't teach her this! ”

Ruan Wenzhong frowned and ignored it, and the Jin family smiled bitterly: "I already knew that there were people in the mansion waiting to replace me." ”

"The emperor didn't send a message!" Ruan Wenzhong sighed, "However, the result of the trial of the three halls is to deprive you of your seal, and you will never be allowed to participate in any banquets in the future, let alone enter the palace for half a step." Zhu'er, you know, as the head of the Prime Minister's House, feasting and drinking are unavoidable. Especially after Yun'er got married...... The Prime Minister cannot live without a noble and dignified housewife. ”

Jin swayed with a wooden stick, and after a while wiped his tears and said, "I understand the truth." But sir, my two children ......."

Ruan Hongyu couldn't help but interject again: "Aren't they three children?" ”

"Shut up!" Kim roared angrily.

Ruan Hongyu grimaced at her unceremoniously: "Now you're not the main mother, who is afraid of you!" ”

Liu slapped his daughter on the top of the head and smiled at Kim.

Kim's tears flowed even harder.

Ruan Wenzhong never looked at her, hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth and said: "His Royal Highness King Rui specially sent a message to say that you must not be wronged no matter what. So I thought...... Several concubines in the house have children, and it is not appropriate to correct anyone, so it is better to marry another room. ”

"Yes!" Jin hurriedly wiped away his tears, "You marry another lady and come in, I'll ...... I am willing to be a concubine, as long as my Yun'er is still a concubine......"

"Sister!" Chu Jianniang suddenly interrupted her words, and then turned her head to look at Ruan Wenzhong: "Master, there is no such reason in the world!" Husband...... If Sister Jin is demoted to a concubine, how can the second lady continue to be a concubine? It doesn't matter what we call it in our own home, but how can we explain this to outsiders? ”

Hearing this, the Jin family immediately jumped up in a hurry: "Then what do you say?" Let my daughter be a concubine? I'm telling you, don't be fooled! Yun'er is the hope of the future of the Prime Minister's house, if she degrades her status and affects the marriage, none of you can take advantage! ”

"I've thought about all these truths," Ruan Wenzhong finally raised his head, "Zhu'er, our Yun'er must be a righteous concubine, so ...... I can only wronged you. ”

Jin staggered back, and his face turned pale for a moment: "The master is ...... say"

Ruan Wenzhong took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over: "You are reconciled with your true prime minister as the head mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so the status of the children will not change, and they are still the children of my Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Kim shook his body and fell straight backwards.

"Mother!" There was an exclamation at the door, but it was Ruan Biyun's voice.

Ruan Qingzhi frowned and subconsciously took a step back.

It's not that I'm afraid of anyone, but ...... It's obvious that this sister is not a good person!

In the setting sun, I saw Ruan Biyun supported by a maidservant girl and a mother-in-law, and walked in with a graceful demeanor, her body was bright and dazzling, obviously the clothes and jewelry on her head were all good things rewarded by the palace.

The concubines and servants present hurriedly greeted and saluted, very courteous.

Ruan Biyun ignored anyone, walked straight to Ruan Wenzhong over the crowd, and bowed down on her knees: "Father." ”

At this time, Kim had been rescued and sat on the ground crying. Ruan Wenzhong stretched out his hand to his daughter: "Yun'er, get up." ”

Ruan Biyun shook her head, insisted on kneeling on the ground and looked up at him: "Father, you can't divorce your mother, otherwise your daughter will have no place to stay!" ”

Ruan Wenzhong let out a long sigh: "Yun'er, it's not about giving up, it's about leaving." ”

"It's all the same!" Ruan Biyun burst into tears, "As long as the mother leaves the Prime Minister's Mansion, her daughter will become a joke in the whole of Shangjing!" Father, this will not work! ”

Kim had been refraining from crying, but when he heard this, he finally couldn't help it, and rushed over to hug his baby daughter and howled.

Ruan Qingzhi was a little moved when he watched from the side.

Ruan Biyun's tears were instantly contained. She glanced down at the dirty arms that were clasped around her, and the disgust on her face could not be concealed.

Seeing this, Ruan Wenzhong hurriedly motioned to the mother-in-law to pull the Jin family away, and then helped Ruan Biyun up with coaxing and persuasion, and asked in a soft voice, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

Ruan Biyun wiped the corners of her eyes, stepped forward and grabbed her father's sleeve, and begged: "Just let my mother be a flat wife!" Father, since Jingzhao Yamen released his mother, it means that the mother's crime is not serious, and the emperor will not force you to divorce your wife! In the future, whether you correct an aunt or marry another house, the housewife in the house only needs to let the new mother be the one, as long as I keep the identity of a flat wife for my mother, my daughter will not be shameless in the future! ”

Ruan Wenzhong was thoughtful, Jin was already crying, prostrated on the ground and kowtowed: "Master, you just promise Yun'er, I can't leave the house...... I can't leave the house for the sake of Yun'er's face! ”

Several concubines next to them exchanged glances with each other, and they all came forward to persuade them, and a large group of concubines and concubines also surrounded them, begging Ruan Wenzhong to keep their "mother".

Ruan Qingzhi quietly took two steps back, refusing to join in the fun.

Banyue whispered in her ear and asked urgently: "Look at this posture, the old man will definitely agree, what should we do?" ”

"What should I do?" Ruan Qingzhi sneered, "If he himself is shameless, what can we do?" Can't save him! ”

Yiyun hurriedly asked what he meant by this.

Ruan Qingzhi leaned against a tree, hugged his chest and asked with a smile: "Have you ever heard of the term 'flat wife'?" ”

The two girls shook their heads in unison.

Ruan Qingzhi smiled: "I've heard of it. The word derives from those traders who are away from home all year round. Some people obviously already have a wife in the family, but they prefer to marry another room outside, and the name is said to be equal and the two ends are big, and the court law does not have this article! ”

Banyue frowned and said, "So the master is treating himself as a businessman?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi squinted his eyes and mocked: "Anyway, he is also a civil official from the imperial examination, or the head of a hundred officials, how can he not understand this?" The most important rule for the protégé of the saint is that the grandson is the concubine, and the concubine is the concubine, but if there is the slightest ambiguity, it is clearly slapping their holy master in the face! ”

The two girls didn't know much about these doorways, and they were still a little unimpressed after hearing it. Xianyun said in a low voice: "Anyway, it's better than just taking a break or being a concubine, right?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi shook his head: "Actually, for me and Ruan Biyun, it is best for the Jin family to die in Jingzhao Yamen; The second is harmony; Again, it is a renunciation; It is also a rule that the law does not have when the wife is degraded to a concubine, but it can still be pressed by the official document of the Imperial Historical Observatory, saying that it is a special matter; Only this 'flat wife' is said, I'm afraid I will laugh to death all the people who read the world! ”

Xianyun was shocked: "What, this is actually the worst choice?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi sneered and didn't answer, and Ye Han said for her beside her: "'Ping Wife' is 'wife' in the name, but the law and the teachings of the saints do not recognize this, so it has always been despised by scholars all over the world, and it can almost be regarded as an 'outer room'. ”

The word "outer room" has been heard by both girls. That refers to wild women that men keep privately outside their homes.

A child born to a wild woman is called an illegitimate child.

Suddenly heard that her young lady was going to change from a "concubine" to an "illegitimate daughter", the two girls were shocked, and kept pouting Ruan Qingzhi to step forward to stop her, be sure not to let the master do such a stupid thing.

Ruan Qingzhi was not in a hurry, and had no intention of joining in the fun at all: "What are you in a hurry?" When my family is stupid? ”

Banyue was so anxious that she was about to jump up: "This stupid idea was made by her, who is stupid if she is not stupid?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi chuckled and shook his head: "That's not necessarily, let's see." Anyway, even if she becomes an illegitimate daughter, the first person to lose face is her Ruan Biyun, why am I in a hurry? ”

The two girls couldn't persuade her, and they were so anxious that they couldn't rush out and wake up the stupid old man who was obviously about to be confused.

At this time, the drama of deep love between husband and wife, mother and daughter, and harmony between wives and concubines is still being staged over there. Ruan Qingzhi was annoyed by it, flicked his sleeves and turned to walk: "Let's go, go home." ”

With the clouds and the moon, there is no way to keep up.

After only taking two steps, Ruan Biyun behind him suddenly stood up and shouted, "Sister! ”
