Speaking of marriage, Ruan Qingzhi immediately blushed and bowed his head to retire, and was cowardly and shy, which made the two aunts admire.

The skirt moved slightly, and the lotus step moved lightly around the corner, and the upright lady suddenly jumped up on the spot, her feet were more than two feet off the ground, her arms were raised high without any image, and she pulled a handful of red fruits from the tree before landing, and smiled so much in her arms that she couldn't see her teeth, like a little fox stealing chickens.

The two girls were so frightened by her that they almost jumped up, but they narrowly endured it at the last moment. So after Ruan Qingzhi landed, he immediately received a complaint from the two girls: "Miss, the prophet will say hello before you do this kind of thing next time, it's scared to death!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi laughed, glanced back and covered his mouth again, and said in a low voice: "How can you bear it when you are happy!" I've been holding back all morning and haven't dared to laugh out loud, so I'm not allowed to release it? ”

"Okay, okay, you release it!" With a smile, she stepped forward to take the fruit she was holding in her arms, helpless: "What is this?" ”

With a smile on the side, "Bitter cherries, you can't eat them." It is said that it can be used to make sake, but no one wants to bother with it. ”

"Who asked you this!" Banyue stomped his feet, "I'm asking Miss, is this really worth being happy about today?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately smiled again: "It's worth it." Happy! ”

It's not a good thing to say. The biological mother was sent to the Yamen, but the daughter was shouting "happy people", what kind of system!

But apart from these four words, there is really no other language to describe their mood at the moment.

The two girls thought about it and finally gave up: Forget it, be happy when you should be happy, and talk about filial piety or not later!

Ruan Qingzhi looked back and found that the two girls did not intend to persuade her, and she was very satisfied, and the three of them returned to Xifangyuan triumphantly.

As soon as Ruan Qingzhi entered the door, she clamored to take a bath, but Banyue was not busy boiling water, she first ran back and forth in the garden twice, and when she came back, she hurriedly said: "Miss, the night cold is gone!" ”

With Yun Zheng washing the bitter cherries and branches and leaves that he brought back just now, he turned around and said with a smile: "What are you looking for him?" He came and went without a trace, and he will come back when it's time to come back! ”

Banyue stomped his feet angrily: "What if he doesn't come back?" Don't you know, he quarreled with Miss that day, and the quarrel was fierce! ”

Ruan Qingzhi immediately jumped up when he heard this: "You say it again, who quarreled with whom?" ”

Banyue's face was slightly red, and then she said sullenly: "Even if it's not a quarrel, it's already very unhappy!" You said that you can only be a beggar woman with him, where can a man stand such words? He must have gotten angry and hidden! ”

Xieyun was stunned for a long time, then shook his head and smiled: "What nonsense!" Isn't the night cold all the time? Otherwise, who sent a letter asking me to persuade the old lady to strictly interrogate Xiaotang, and who told me to take the old lady to the ancestral hall early in the morning to watch a good show? ”

Before she could finish speaking, Banyue had already jumped up: "What? You've been secretly cloaking up? Miss also knows, you know, just hide it from me? ”

"What a dark Chen Cang!" Ruan Qingzhi slapped the back of her hand angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, go boil water!" Stinks to death! ”

Banyue turned around and went out aggrieved, but the next moment he suddenly let out a scream, and the whole person flew back upside down and fell heavily to the ground.

With Yunda hurriedly rushed over to check, Ruan Qingzhi had already walked to the door: "Yun'er, this way of appearing is not suitable for you!" ”

No one answered outside the door.

Yiyun helped Banyue to get up and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he turned his head, he saw Ruan Biyun walking in expressionlessly, followed by two tall men, as if they were vicious.

Banyue subconsciously shrank behind Xianyun, obviously the taste of being grabbed and thrown in just now was uncomfortable.

Ruan Qingzhi pursed his lips and smiled, turned around and sat down in the hall, and sighed: "Alas, the destiny of the phoenix is to do whatever you want, and no one dares to take care of the two men who are rampant and domineering in the inner house!" ”

"You!" Ruan Biyun raised her eyebrows.

didn't get angry, but instantly turned into a sneer: "My sister has been hiding here quietly and 'secretly Chen Cang' with others, so her eyes are filthy to this point?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi smiled even more when she heard this: "Yun'er, don't listen to indecent people, don't say anything!" ”

Ruan Biyun's face darkened a little, and she stood in place for a long time.

This is really infuriating. Ruan Qingzhi looked at her with pity, and didn't plan to speak first.

After a long stalemate, Ruan Biyun gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "My mother has been sent to Jingzhao Yamen, and then she will be tried in the hall and be laughed at by the world, and she will be imprisoned and punished, and the prison officials will call and drink and scold at every turn, even if she comes back safely, it is impossible to be the head mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion again...... Are you satisfied? ”

"What, it's still possible for her to come back alive?!" Ruan Qingzhi was shocked.

Ruan Biyun's eyes were round.

Ruan Qingzhi stood up, looked at her and said hurriedly: "What do you mean that she can't be a housewife after she comes back?" Will she be demoted to a concubine? Will we have a new mother-in-law? In this way, won't we become concubines? I don't care about any concubines, but you...... Sister, is His Royal Highness King Rui willing to marry a concubine as a concubine? ”

"Don't say it!" Ruan Biyun couldn't bear it anymore, her face was flushed and she roared angrily: "This situation was caused by you, you still have the face to say!" Leopard, Tiger, take her down for me! Kill it or not! ”

The two men next to him agreed in unison and rushed forward.

Ruan Qingzhi slipped under the table with a snort, holding a vase and screaming outside: "Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, it's useless for you to kill me!" If you kill me at this moment, not only will my mother suffer twice as much in the yamen, but even my father will attract the attention of Yushitai! If your father can't become the prime minister, you will no longer be the concubine of the prime minister's mansion, but become a concubine of a common man or even a criminal minister, and His Royal Highness King Rui will not marry you! What phoenix fate is not phoenix fate, do you think he really believes it? ”

She just shouted under the table, and Ruan Biyun's two guards were already watching in amazement.

They really had never seen such a shameless young lady, and they didn't know how to do it for a while.

You can't squat down and pull people out from under the table, can you? Isn't that indecent?

Ruan Biyun was already so angry that her face turned blue and her face was hideous. At this time, if outsiders come to see her, they will never believe that she is the second lady of the Xiangfu who is as quiet and elegant as a lotus flower in the world.

Ruan Qingzhi shouted for a long time and didn't see the other party come to arrest her, she was a little bolder, so she poked her head out again and said: "Actually, you have no reason to hate me, it's true that my mother was sent to the yamen, but don't you know why I sent her in?" She's there to take your sins! Shouldn't you hate yourself more? If you really have filial piety, you can go to the yamen and replace her yourself......"

Before he finished speaking, the guard Ah Leopard pounced forward. Ruan Qingzhi screamed and hurriedly retracted under the table, covering most of his body with a vase, revealing only a pair of eyes and blinking.

Ruan Biyun gritted her teeth: "When you die, I will go to the yamen and tell the yamen that my mother is taking the blame for you, and you have found out in your conscience that you committed suicide and apologized, and most of you can save your mother!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi blurted out: "The yamen won't believe it!" I'm a bad person, how can I find out with a conscience! The yamen will only suspect that the real culprit is still in the mansion, and then will ask the imperial historian to assist in investigating the prime minister's mansion, and then you and your father will be arrested! ”

"Shut up!" Ruan Biyun jumped to her feet in anger: "You are making such nonsense and making noise, do you want to delay time and wait for someone to save you?" You die, I have asked someone to guard the gate of Xifangyuan, you wild man can't get in! - Ah Leopard Ah Hu, don't you do it yet?! ”

Seeing that the master was angry, the two guards no longer dared to care about any image, one stepped forward to block the way out in front of the table, and the other bent down and swung his knife and slashed under the table.

The vase was slashed and exploded, and fragments were scattered. Ruan Qingzhi put his head in his hands and let out a scream: "The night cold is coming, I'm going to die-"

Ruan Biyun sneered when she saw this: "Are you still dreaming......"

Before he finished speaking, he felt the light and shadow around him flash, and in the next moment, Ah Leopard and Ah Hu had already rolled to the ground with a wail.

Ruan Biyun was stunned, her face turned pale and she retreated again and again.

Ruan Qingzhi poked his head out from under the table and smiled: "The night is cold, it's good!" ”

The night cold snorted and turned away, and stood still at the table like a pillar.

Ruan Qingzhi was embarrassed, so he had to crawl out from under the table on all fours, dust off the dust on his knees, and laughed: "Yun'er, your people can't do it!" ”

Ruan Biyun staggered back to the door and forced her composure: "You can't hurt me!" If something happens to me, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be finished! His Royal Highness will not let you go! ”

Ruan Qingzhi leaned on the table and held his forehead with his hands, feeling that the scene in front of him really couldn't bear to look at it directly: "Such a woman is also destined by God, is God blind?" ”

Ye Han glanced at her and reminded: "You just hid under the table and shouted for help, it's not as good as her." ”

"Which side the hell are you from?" Ruan Qingzhi was angry.

Ye Han didn't answer, flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked out, making Ruan Qingzhi inexplicable.

Ruan Bijun felt that the invisible pressure on her back dissipated instantly, and the whole person relaxed again. She gritted her teeth and stood still at the door, staring at Ruan Qingzhi and said, "You can only rely on him." I don't believe it, can he still protect you for the rest of your life? ”

Ruan Qingzhi refused to show weakness, and said with a smile: "You don't need to protect me for the rest of my life, as long as I kill you, everything will be solved!" ”

Although Ruan Bijun firmly believed that Ruan Qingzhi would not dare to kill her, she still couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart when she heard this.

At this time, Ah Bao and Ah Hu finally got up in embarrassment, one holding his stomach and the other holding his back and bowing his head and walking in front of Ruan Biyun, and the bloody atmosphere spread between the actions.

Ruan Biyun subconsciously retreated, her face stiffened, and she gritted her teeth and said to Ruan Qingzhi for a long time: "Don't be complacent, I'm waiting for the day when you will suffer the consequences!" ”

After saying that, she turned around to leave, but Ruan Qingzhi stopped her: "Yun'er, if I were you, I would think of a way to keep that person from coming back alive." ”

"What did you say?!" Ruan Biyun was shocked.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at her and said seriously: "You think about it: if she comes back alive and becomes a concubine from the lady of the main room, the two of us will become concubines, and everyone in Beijing will treat us as a joke; But if she dies as the main family, we will still be concubines, and even if the stepmother has children in the future, she will still be one level lower than us. You are the one who attaches the most importance to dignity and humility, and you must know in your own heart where to go. ”

Ruan Biyun was stunned with fright, and said in horror for a long time: "You actually ...... Provoke me to kill my mother? ”

"You don't need to do it," Ruan Qingzhi said calmly, "As long as His Royal Highness King Rui does not put pressure on the Jingzhao Yamen, I believe that the Yamen will handle the case impartially, and the Jin family will definitely die." ”

"You!" Ruan Biyun glared angrily, and then smiled again: "Thank you sister for reminding me, I understand." ”

After that, she didn't want to say anything more to Ruan Qingzhi, lifted the corner of her skirt and walked quickly across the threshold.

Ruan Qingzhi leaned back in the chair with a sigh of relief, and Banyue immediately rushed over: "Miss, why do I think she will definitely go and ask His Royal Highness King Rui for help?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi smiled: "She will." After all, it is a great dishonor to murder one's relatives, and if the Jin family dies on this charge, Ruan Biyun's road to the queen will also be extremely difficult. Moreover, the biological mother and daughter are connected by blood, and it is normal to be ruthless. ”

Banyue was stunned: "How can you listen to what you mean, as if you yourself are not born to your wife?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi sighed and rubbed the back of the waist that had been kicked in the ancestral hall before: "Maybe, anyway, I often forget that I am her own child." ”

The two girls looked at each other in a daze.

Ruan Qingzhi didn't care much, stretched his waist and stood up again: "Don't be discouraged!" We have been unlucky for so many years, and we finally raised our eyebrows once, and it is worth it to smile more! ”

With Yun Banyue, he had to nod his head in agreement, but he really couldn't laugh.

What if it's a small win? Wounding the enemy for 1,000 and losing 800 of yourself, she will become Miss Shu in the future, won't her life be even worse?

When I was sighing, the cold night came back.

This time he didn't wear a mask, looked at Ruan Qingzhi and said expressionlessly: "Xiaohuan was sent to the yamen with his wife; Xiaotang was dragged out of the house by people's teeth; Prime Minister Ruan Cheng was angry and threw things in the study; The second lady brought Mrs. Qian into Jinghua Courtyard, and at this time, there were constant screams, and it sounded like she was about to die. ”

Ruan Qingzhi sneered: "You have become a know-it-all in our house!" ”

Ye Han was still expressionless, as if the mask was still on his face.

Ruan Qingzhi felt bored, and waved his hand irritably: "I know." It's none of our business, you can go and rest! ”

"I think," said Ye Leng, "that Mademoiselle doesn't need me anymore, so I'll take my leave." ”

"You're leaving?" Banyue was shocked, "Why? ”

Ye Han turned his back and refused to make eye contact: "Miss, both civil and military, is omnipotent, there is really no place for me in this house, so I won't waste food here." ”

"What do you say?" Banyue jumped to her feet in a hurry, "Why is there no place for it?" You have obviously done a lot of things for us, and it can be said that you saved the lives of Miss and me, how can this be called useless? Do you feel unfair because the young lady has no reward? What's not up to you to say it, Miss is very talkative! ”

Ye Han didn't answer, his back straightened and motionless like a sculpture.

Ruan Qingzhi was angry, frowned and turned around and sat down: "It's not a shame for a man at such an age to learn from a little girl to play a temper!" I don't have your deed of sale in my hand, you can leave if you want to, you don't need to tell me! ”

Ye Han was stunned for a moment, slowly turned around, and finally showed a little anger on his face: "You also know that it's ridiculous to play with a child's temper? At the moment of life and death, is it the time for you to play a temper and be a hero! Think for yourself what the things you do look like! ”

Ruan Qingzhi was so angry that he grabbed a tea bowl and was about to smash him, but he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Miss, if you have something to say!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi was angry, gritted his teeth and said, "You said something wrong! I'm a child, and it's not funny to have a temper! It's ridiculous for you to learn from a child to play a temper! ”

With Yun and Yue, the two of them covered their mouths and laughed together.

Ye Han's face tightened, and he gritted his teeth: "Old man? ”

Ruan Qingzhi looked at the corners of his twitching eyes and laughed: "Otherwise? What do you think you are? When you are young, you still play a temper with me and run away, are you ashamed? ”

Ye Han was glaring angrily, but then somehow laughed along.

Ruan Qingzhi's smile on his face was even brighter: "Look, children are still learning to change when they are moody!" ”

Ye Han blushed a little from her ridicule, smiled and turned around angrily: "Don't change the topic!" Do you say to yourself, could there be a better solution to this matter? Couldn't have been injured in your body? ”

The smile on Ruan Qingzhi's face gradually stopped, and his expression turned solemn: "No, I don't have a better way." Not only do I want to live in this mansion, but I also want to overthrow my eccentric mother, to help the old lady win the power of the family, and to take back my honor as the daughter of the prime minister's house...... These things cannot be done by escaping or currying favor with the old lady. I have been wronged and beaten a few times in the past few days in exchange for the result at this moment, which is worth it. ”

Ye Han turned around again and looked at her: "You are not a person who loves vanity, and the identity of 'Xiangfu Concubine' is not very beneficial to you, why are you so persistent?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi frowned and did not answer.

Ye Han's face was ugly, and he was silent for a long time before he asked in a deep voice: "Could it be ...... Is it to marry highly? ”

"Night Cold!" Xieyun really can't listen to it anymore.

Ruan Qingzhi's brows were tightly locked, and an angry expression appeared on his face: "This is not something you should discuss with me. The night is cold, you are overstepping. ”

Instead of bowing his head and admitting his mistake, Ye Han took a step forward: "Since you have exceeded the rules, you might as well ask one more question: Where do you want to marry?" Wang fu? Or the Royal Palace? ”

Ruan Qingzhi closed his eyes and said coldly: "If you want to leave the mansion, I won't keep it, go ahead." ”

Ye Han stared at her for a long time, and turned around with an angry face.

Banyue was in a hurry, and hurriedly rushed up to grab him: "Where are you going?" Don't go! At this time, the second miss is hating Xifangyuan, if you leave, won't the young lady be slaughtered! ”

The night was cold and stiff for a long time, and finally sighed: "I won't go." I'm going to keep an eye on Ruan Xiang to prevent him from playing tricks on us again. ”

Banyue was overjoyed when she heard this, and she couldn't hold back for a while and cried out.

Ye Han frowned, and subconsciously glanced back at Ruan Qingzhi, but saw that there was no anger or joy on her face, as if she didn't care about his going.

Ye Han paused at his feet, and finally walked out without saying a word.

When he walked away, Xianyun shook his head and sighed: "Ye Han's sudden temper is mostly because he can't share the hardships with Miss and can't go, why should Miss deliberately be angry with him?" ”

"I didn't mean to be angry with him," Ruan Qingzhi's expression was light, "What I said was from my heart." ”

Xianyun frowned slightly, secretly suspicious in his heart.

Ruan Qingzhi slapped the table and stood up, and saw Ban Yue twisting her handkerchief next to her and sulking, so she glared at her and said, "The people have already stayed, what are you not happy about?" Don't be stunned, boil water! ”

Banyue lowered her head and agreed, her little face wrinkled badly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at it and only felt that everyone was yin and yang today, and even her heart was unhappy, and the good mood of defeating the Jin family before was gone.

After wiping the table with Yiyun, he came back only to find that his young lady's face was not good-looking, and he was busy and persuaded: "How can there be a life without quarreling and bickering, and it is worth being angry no matter how big it is?" If you don't believe it, you don't have to wait until the evening! ”

"They?" Ruan Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly squinted his eyes: "What does 'they' mean?" ”

Xieyun couldn't help but roll his eyes indecently: "I'm superfluous to comfort you!" What the hell are you two like, you don't look like a daughter! ”

Ruan Qingzhi was reprimanded aggrieved, but he was still thinking about the sentence "them" in his heart.

Looking at her blank face, Xianyun couldn't help but become more worried, and after a little hesitation, he stepped forward and asked tentatively: "Miss, do you think Ye Han is a ...... person?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of deliberately aggravated footsteps under the corridor, and then Mama Zhou's voice called outside: "Is the eldest lady resting?" ”

Yiyun hurriedly smiled and greeted him: "No, why did Mama come over at this time?" Did the old lady give orders? ”

Mama Zhou walked in with a smile, followed by two maids, one carrying a huge food box, and the other carrying two thick quilts, and the whole person was almost blocked.

After entering the door, Mama Zhou saluted Ruan Qingzhi and said with a smile: "In the past, the house was run by others, and the old lady was not easy to interfere with, but now she can finally call the shots for us." This quilt is made of new cotton this autumn, and the eldest lady uses it first to avoid getting cold; Inside the food box are fresh fruits and snacks. In the future, there will be no shortage of food and clothing here, if there is anything missing, just go and tell the old lady. ”

Ruan Qingzhi stood up and thanked him, and asked with a smile: "Is it going well with the old lady?" Those people in the house didn't have any more moths, did they? ”

Mama Zhou smiled: "Sure enough, the eldest lady is really worried about the old lady, and she must care about the old lady first when she opens her mouth - don't worry, the old lady has not never seen the world, and the little tricks of the people below can't scare her old man." ”

Ruan Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It turned out that I was worried about the sky. ”

Mama Zhou watched the girls change the thick bedding on Ruan Qingzhi's bed, and said with a smile: "The old lady understands the filial piety of the eldest lady." In the past few years, there was a miasma in the house, and in the future, we will all control it, and we will not let the eldest lady be wronged again. ”

Ruan Qingzhi smiled again and thanked him.

Mama Zhou returned the salute again and again, and said with a smile: "Three days later, a banquet will be held in the Yushitai Luanzhong Mansion, and the old lady will order the old slave to ask the eldest lady, would you like to see the world?" ”
